us cellular just sim unlocked my note 3 (android 4.4.2 NG5 stock unrooted rom) phone
of course the gsm radios are still disabled
I know this phone uses a sprint (hltespr) recovery (twrp for me) and I was wondering if I can do a radio swap from hltespr to hlteusc using odin after im rooted and also have the hltespr spring kitkat recovery up and running
I would really just like to convert this whole phone to a Verizon or Sprint knowing I would not be able to use it on Sprint or Verizon anyhow
this would allow me to use it as a GSM device if everything went correctly
can anyone tell me how this process can be done (either through jtag or radio swap)
thank-you

I have a pair of Verizon XT912's. One has been flashed with the nTelos stock firmware for the XT912 that they carry and has the ability to be activated and used on the network with all functions. It also does not search for the verizon 4g SIM. I have already done a nandroid backup on that phone and wrote it to the one that had verizon stock firmware. The firmware has been changed to ntelos on that second phone, but the radio is still stuck on Verizon. What I want to know is if there is a way to copy the nTelos radio and all of its CDMA settings to the Verizon one and have everything work?
Bump.

Due to there being no root at the moment for the latest update MJ7, is there a way to get the Verizon S4 to work with a T-Mobile simcard. I know it has global mode on the phone, but is there a way to install tmobile rom on it or something in order to get it working like a tmobile S4?

There's lots of threads about this. For example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46357210&postcount=1
Try searching this forum for "t-mobile".
I actually just popped in my Tmobile sim card and it told me that it is a forign sim for me to turn on Global mode, which I did. I then set up the Tmobile APN settings and got the 4G up and running.
See attached screenshot.
Since Verizon boot-loader MJ7 can't be unlocked and custom recovery can't be installed, have anyone tried so called "dirty installation" of a Custom ROM over the existing Official Verizon firmware?
I have Verizon I545VRUEMJ7 and I am particularly looking for the ROM with Wi-Fi Calling feature (lousy connection at home). I switched to Family-Mobile who's hanging on T-Mobile network, so T-Mobile wi-fi calling should work for me.
Does anyone have experience to flash any Custom ROMs over Verizon I545VRUEMJ7 without a custom recovery (CWM of TWRP) installed. Should be data cleaned up first, some apps maybe disabled or deleted, like KNOX, or Verizon security for instance. Any advices?

Since the bootloader is locked, you can not flash custom firmware. If Hashcode gets Safestrap working on MJ7, you may be able to flash a ROM that does what you want, but not today.
I recently switched to T-Mobile and to make my Verizon Galaxy S4 work on the network I had to install safestrap and use the MJ7 baseband, however I drop off the network quite often and in addition, I often switch out of GSM/LTE mode quite often from phone info. Safestrap has been ported to MJ7 and MK2, but MJ7 seems more stable for ROMs. I wanted to know how I can perform the update to MJ7 instead of MK2 (and how to update without the Verizon SIM if possible) and whether I could use the T-Mobile patch for Hyperdrive on my phone to make it work better on the T-Mobile network
maybe i've missed it tried searching high and low. I have a verizon s4 4.2.2. Build KOT49h.I545VRUF NK1. T mobile needs 4.4.4 and verzion never made 4.4.4 or it was quickly pulled i havent fount it i get everything except lte it shows up on the phone but when i connect to google i get a DNS error T-mobile told me they are up to 4.4.4. upgrading to lolipop will **** up everything. I know I have seen a caynogen mod that is 4.4.4 for verzion so all i need is root. has NK1 been hacked. towelroot wont work, Super su is just blocked from knox
My only idea and SO i heard is to use ADB and connect and delete knox one at a time all files. then downgrade, I tried ADB but my phone wouldnt connect dont know if I did something wrong but this "world phone" give me lte bars with t-mobile but i cant get lte without root or 4.4.4. phone and text is ok havent tried mms but because its tied to data I doubt it would work any advice or help for this old device? :good::crying:

Verizon's 4.4.4 was nc5. You can not go back to Cyanogen mod. Your best bet is to go to Stang's LP ROM, since that is lolipop.
note: I am on nc5 4.4.4
