Hello All,
I just picked-up a VZW S4 from a guy who purchased it a few months ago but since decided he wanted to return back to his Apple phone ...
Anyways, I'd like to use it on T-Mobile. I popped in my T-Mobile SIM, edited the APN, and voila, it works.
Now, I'd like to apply a ROM which can enable the Wi-Fi calling offered on T-Mobile as well as enabling the Wi-Fi Hotspot that doesn't have any restrictions.
Key Question - Is there any Multi-Carrier ROM out now that can install on the latest VZW Baseband Update (I545VRUFNK1)?
Please let me know, thank you!

Hey all. I recently got the International Google Play Store edition of the S4 and was wondering if it is in any way compatible with Verizon? I'd originally signed up with T-Mobile a week or so ago, but am getting really terrible service and hoping to switch. I did a network search and it only came up with T-Mobile & ATT, but could that be because I have a T-Mobile sim in? Tried running in to the store a couple days ago and they popped in a Verizon sim and it didn't work, but I was also using a custom ROM that was in a very early experimental stage. Not sure if that'd effect it. Have since flashed back to stock, but haven't had a chance to run back in to Verizon yet. Thanks in advance for any help/advise.
VZW uses CDMA network. Only VZW version has CDMA radios for VZW network.

I'm surprised they even tried a sim at the Verizon store. No, the GE version doesn't have the right radios for Verizon's network, and there is no Google Experience S4 sold for Verizon. You could go with AT&T, or sell the phone back and get the Verizon S4.
So I recently switched over my VZW Galaxy S4 to Straight Talk, using a BYOP SIM, and even managed to get everything working fine. Then of course, I start digging deeper into the forums and things that I can do and thought, "Hey, a new ROM could be fun."
So I installed Safe Strap, then flashed the Hyperdrive RLS14 ROM after creating a backup for the Stock ROM. My question is, when choosing a Carrier in Hyperdrive RLS14, should I still choose the Verizon option or the GSM ATT&T/TM option since I am actually using an AT&T SIM now?
My gut says to choose the Verizon option as the S4 is a SCH-I454, but I thought I'd ask.
I have a T-Mobile Sim in my Verizon s4. Flashed hd14 and chose Verizon. Everything works flawless. Even tether which I could not do with any other ROM. I know you have ST but may work for you also.

Yea, that's the route I went as well. May play around with the other choice on a different ROM, just to see what happens.
i looked around the forum and i didnt seen to find an answer. and i dont know if this can be done. at least iam beeing honest. but is it possible to converte a SPRINT galaxy note 2 to verizon NOTE 2? for examble taking a verizon note 2 stock tar file and with odin flash it to a sprint note 2? i know on sprint phones you can flasha boot mmobile tar for example on the galaxy 2. epic touch. but since both phones are CDMA version and same model i dont know if this can be done or if trying this will this brick the phone or something? reason of doing this is use my existing sprint note 2 on verizon. please let me know thanks guys.

Once upon a time, We activated a Sprint moto q on the Verizon network after flashing but we had to get Verizon's Tech Support to add the phones' MEID to the Verizon network manually. Good luck getting that to work these days.
EDIT: I just remembered ,A Sprint Note 2 doesn't have the SIM card slot needed to work on the Verizon Network. So I don't think it is possible.

hi there doctor-cool. well see what iam trying to do is convert my sprint note into a verizon note. so that i can use the CDMA portion on straight talk since straight talk runs CDMA on verizon network. since i guess sprint note 2 cant be flash to straight talk. i did flashed the DEC from my straight talk into the sprint note 2 but it didnt work. so maybe converting from sprint phone to a verizon version maybe it should work. i tought the SIM card on verizon was only for LTE and not for CDMA.. now iam confused.

On the Verizon Note 2 the SIM card is used to Activate the phone.

Questions should be in Q&A section not development section.
Thanks, I just posted it over there!

I have this Rooted unlocked sprint sm-n900p SAMSUNG NOTE 3, how do I make it work with Wind or T-Mobile?, I was looking around and I ended up installing 'REGION UNLOCK" apk , Installed that apk and it didnt work, Phone can't search T-Mobile/Wind network, Please tell me if its possible and if yes, then how?
I also found this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305 Will that link work?? I don't want to brick/make phone bad, its working find with all other network except T-Mobile.
Thank for reading.
Hey man. I would sell or trade for a Tmobile version because sprint phones in generaly can't be unlocked to gsm. Although it may say the gsm is there, it never really works. I have an att version unlocked but I tried to use a sprint HTC m8 on tmobile/metropcs and it did not work out. Sprint devices on gsm generally are iPhones.
