Hello all i am new to the forum and i just upgraded to Atrix from the the Samsung Galaxy I7500 which did ok, but was slow. Anyway i was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what rom i should use and which is the best and how to do it I have heard that devs are still trying to unlock the boot loader. My Atrix is bought from BELL.
This kind of thread always gets closed.
Theres only three psuedo roms for the Atrix right now, and I don't think any of them are compatible with BELL Atrix.
The bootloader hasnt been unlocked/bypassed yet, so hold on tightly. I'm not sure if the BELL Atrix can flash the 2.22.11(Not sure on the number) update, which has a variety of driver updates, etc. You should research more in the development thread.
Hope I've guided you in the right direction.
Oh sorry I should read the rules sorry, please close this thread thanks i will start searching.
Thanks

A friend of ours gave us a T-Mobile Google G2. My wife would like to use it on AT&T but its locked to T-Mobile.
I was reading various threads and attempted some of em but with no success. One I read suggested that since its on 2.3.4 that it should be downgraded to 2.2.
I would really appreciate if someone could point out to me a thread that would work with 2.3.4 and potentially put ICS on it.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello all!
I posted the questions below on the UK/Ireland thread yesterday, but havent had any replies yet, so trying here for better luck!
My 9505 arrived today, and cant wait to get busy with it! So reposting my questions here, in the hope that i get the answers!
I really need to find out which rooting method is suitable for this device, so I dont screw things up.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
Hi guys and gals!
I was a long time serial HTC user, and now finally have jumped ships over to Samsung , so going through a learning curve here, please bear with me!
Waiting for my S4 on OrangeUK upgrade to arrive tomorrow, so getting ready for the usual initial steps and have a few quick questions:
1 What is the model sent out by Orange, 9500, or 9505? Its a GT-I 9505
2 On XDA, what is the difference between the "Galaxy S 4 i950x Android Development", and "Galaxy S 4 i950x ORIGINAL Android Development" sections? I dont get it...
3 Is the Orange UK S4 all ok to root, sim unlock etc as we currently stand? Which method is the recommended one?
(I ask, since having trawled the forums previously, have seen that this changes according to latest software versions etc until devs catch up; easier to ask quickly here than read 300 pages and still be confused )
4 Which is the best/easiest method to unbrand and change the carrier designator, so I end up with an unbranded stock/sim free model designator and ROM? Is it worth doing?
Want to get rid of the Orange crapware, AND be able to get future updates, since on my HTC Sensation removing the crapware changed the hash value of the system software, and subsequent updates would never install anymore)
Thanks in advance guys, looking forward to your replies and starting off with my S4!
OK, after playing around for awhile, it seems that happily ive been sent a stock version! ie no Orange crapware etc... :good:
Ive updated the software to i9505xxuame2, with OTA.
Still uninformed as to the best root method to use, so any advice will be appreciated!
Well, no one answered so I tried the following method and it worked great!

Hi! I hope this is being posted in the correct place first and foremost.
I'm pretty pissed to find out today that EE will not be releasing the KitKat update for my G2
I received an email from LG confirming this and so replied with the obvious question 'How can I do it then please? '.
They said I would need to get my phone unlocked from EE. Now, being a complete noob when it comes to this sort of thing I don't really know what I'm doing. So I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask before I attempt any unlocking.
1. Once I've managed to unlock my phone can I still use the Sim Card that came with it? I have a 24 month contract with EE and can't really afford to run two tariffs.....
and
2. Is there not an easier way to go about getting KitKat? I had a Galaxy S2 and when I wanted to upgrade the firmware on there I used ODIN. But I can't seem to find a way that is similar to that for LG phones.......
I apologise if this post is not in the correct thread but I really would appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Many thanks!

well the g2 has a tool like odin if you looked in the general thread there is a return to stock guide which can be used to flash any firmware as long as its for your device, I do know that the d802 can flash any d802 kdz file even if it's for another carrier, I do not own one but you can always ask around to make sure you don't do something wrong
hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S4 sgh-i1337M with Fido in CAanda. I would like to Root and enjoy my phone as it should be.
Before doing anything, I checked for software update on the phone in settings, and there is one that is 100.01 MB. Looking up that size, I think it has something to do with this number (my modem version??):
I337MUMUFNK1 -- which comes up when I search google for an update of that size which is OTA and for my phone.
Samsung and Fido and Google say to call the 'others' as they do not know what this update is for. WTF! Nobody knows what the update is for??
------------------------------------------
My phone info:
I am on 4.4.2
SGH-I337M locked to Fido in Canada
BASEBAND: I337MVLUFNE1
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758
[email protected] #1
BUILD: KOT49H.I337MVLUFNE1
------------------------------------------
The baseband seems to be what the update will modify??? (ignore this if its dumb)
MY QUESTION:
Should I root the way it is now and disregard the latest update?
Should I update the phone now, as I won't be able to receive OTA updates in the future and then Root? (I know I can always do whatever I want after rooting.....
it would still make sense to do this update now, then root as its just easier that way).
Thank you in advance to everyone who knows the answer to this and responds!

Hi,
I posted this the night before...this is a repost after it seemed to go missing.....
Anyways... was hoping for a quicker response than 2 days so far! Lol

Now to see if this forum has a sticky for latest how to root a specific device...fingers crossed:fingers-crossed:

The device sections are for the phones themselves, not the carrier that you're with, so the section that this thread has been moved to, and today I provided links for, is the correct section for this phone.

Hi there.
I bought a Galaxy S4 from Sptint, so I can then use it on Bell Canada.
I finally rooted and painstakingly unlocked it and changed the APN. Everything is currently working. But I want to flash a custom ROM.
Which version should I flash, the Sprint version or the Bell Canada version?
I tried the Cohen mod Sprint version last, but had enormous problems, so much that I needed a factory reset and start from scratch.
Moved to the SGS4 Q&A forum - hopefully you'll get some good replies here.

This is the wrong forum. This belongs in the S4 Sprint section.
