Hi guys, i just recently upgraded from a SGS 2 Skyrocket T-mobile rooted running KitKat 4.4.2
to a SGS 4 I337m running android 4.3 from the mexican company Telcel (I´m living in Mexico)
The s4 is now rooted and running CWM v6.0.4.7
I generally didn´t have any problems installing custom roms for the S2 since most were highly compatible with the model
but I´m having a HARD AND CONFUSING time deciding what roms are compatible with my mexican(telcel) s4 since on the descrpitions for
most roms they only mention compatability to models like (AT&T, Tmobile, Canadian and its variants)
I understand that the Canadian model is also I337m and At&T is I337so my question is
IF I install a rom designed for the Canadian model I337m, shouldn´t it also be compatible for my Mexican Telcel I337m???
if so, then whatever issue should arise in the future which I hope does not happen, Can i simply rely on the tutorials for the Canadian model or perhaps??
(obviously if I somehow softbrick this phone I´m not going to use canadian firmware but the one available for my region)
NOTE: I have looked all over to and read forums but I just can´t get a specific answer, please help!
and I dont want to test it all out on my own because the last thing I wanna do is Damage the phone THANKS!!

I can tell you that I have flashed the Canadian Rogers ROM I337MVLUFNC1 from Sammobile (flash instructions are included in Sammobile's webpage) and it works perfectly fine with Telcel's i337m. I have used it with Telcel's 4G network and Movistar's 3G network with no issues at all.
I should warn you that I have only used ROM I337MVLUFNC1 , there are two newer ROMs from Rogers that I have not tried. After installing Roger's ROM, you can continue to root as you did with your original Telcel ROM.
Cheers

Hi,
simple question I assume but I couldn't find an easy answer with Google:
In my family we have 2 Samsung Galaxy S2 phones, one is unbranded and the other is a locked one from Vodaphone.
On the unbranded one I installed the LiteningRom 3.2 and speedmod K19, all works perfectly and battery life is excellent.
Question is: can I also install this (or any other) custom rom on the Vodaphone branded Galaxy or will it brick the phone/make it unusable ?
Thanks in advance for your views.
Hi,
I'm fairly new to rooting, my galaxy S2 is locked to O2, I managed to root my device with no problems at all using ODIN. Just make sure u download the right rooting package for your firmware.
Yes you can! I've done it! My sg2 running a flawlessly rom now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Thanks for the replies, I will give it a try.
Your phone being network locked, to the best of my knowledge, should have no effect whatsoever.
What you NEED to watch out for is whether or not your provider's network is GSM or CDMA. Don't try to flash a CDMA rom to a GSM phone, or vice versa.
And make sure to Nandroid Backup!(!!)
I couldn't find a solution too specific to my phone, but was mostly just wondering, Does anyone know if the newest CF-auto-root is compatible with a Canadian SGH-I337M; Ver 4.4.2; Baseband VLUFNE1 on the MTS network? if so, where is a safe download source of the .tar?
And if not if there is anything that is compatible? Keep in mind im not looking to flash custom roms, i essentially want root to use rooted apps and all the devince freedom that comes with it. essentially a basic root. Also Ive previously rooted my S2 and an old motodroid so theres no need to review the rooting process ive got that down.
Thanks, any and all advice is appreciated!
I hope this is the correct section to post this. I have a sgs3 GT-I9300T that is/was carrier locked through Vodafone. I say is/was because I can currently use an Optus simcard without problems. This specific model does not support any upgrade past 4.3 jellybean (which is bs lol)
So here I am, a complete phone noob, wondering how to root this specific model and upgrade to at least the 4.4.4 KitKat port ive seen posted. Is there any guides or how tos on the subject? Is there a difference between both GT-I9300 and the T variation in terms of rooting/flashing custom roms etc?
I have a dream to become Pokémon master but my phone is not allowing me to become one. Please help me
can anyone help?
Hey XDA,
I just recently purchased a AT&T S7 (SM-G930A). I also just recently found out that AT&T doesn't push updates to non AT&T network phones. I am using the phone with T-Mobile and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the T-Mobile stock rom without tripping Knox or anything of that sort. I remember being able to do this to my AT&T Note 2 back in the day. If it is possible, can someone kindly link me to the file and instructions on how to flash the stock ROM from T-Mobile? Thanks!

DO NOT DO IT . I believe AT&T has the exynos processor and I know for a fact T-Mobile has the Snapdragon processor I'm pretty sure you will perma brick your phone. Tmobile also has a locked bootlaoder.
Just change your APN settings
Actually, I posted this in the AT&T forum as well and they said it work fine and it did. The phones are identical. The problem is that I can't go back to AT&T stock because AT&T is still on BL V2 while T-Mobile is on BL V3. I flashed anyway and it worked fine. Make sure to use Odin 3.12 from the Verizon Root Guide!
All US carrier S7's are Snapdragon based
@goofwear, All US based S7 and S7E have the Snapdragon SOC. And ALL have a LOCKED BOOTLOADER. @IbbiAnsi, you can flash just fine. Just read more about them in the threads and follow at your own risk.
Hey everyone,
So I have a galaxy s7 from Canada (G930-W8), and I am still impatiently waiting for the Nougat version that is not released for us in here. I was wondering if there is a way to install Nougat from different versions such as G930F or other ones onto my phone. I would really appreciate your feedbacks, or if you already know of a forum post that describes this please let me know as I couldn't really find anything.
Cheers!
No unfortunately we w8s can only install a custom ROM that is made from 930f but we cant install 930f firmware ,
If you are rooted you can install Super Stock custom ROM it works perfectly on my w8
