So Samsung has released Android 5.0 for all the Galaxy S4 units except for one. The SCH-R970C, which is the Cricket variant of the model.
This is extremely annoying for me, considering I have that model Galaxy S4, and would love to get it updated.
Long story short, can an SCH-R970 official samsung rom work on an SCH-R970C? The SCH-R970 is the US Cellular variant.
I don't know if Samsung/Cricket will ever release it for my model, I've been waiting 6 months for it to land on my phone, but I get nothing.
I have tried rooting and putting non-samsung roms on my S4, but there have always been problems no matter what rom I install. Most have battery issues, with it draining much too fast. Others have wifi issues, but that's probably because the rom didn't support my specific model.

The only Roms that are designed to work with your device are as listed in Verizon Galaxy S4 Forum Rom List.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon#romList
If you really want to see which of these roms work with ATT Sim then you may pose the question in
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Only as a last alternative, you may post a very specific question regarding the International issues and incorrect Caller id on ATT Forum AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Make sure to explicitly mention you have the Verizon variant.
Last but not the least, DO NOT flash ATT S4 firmware to your device via ODIN. This will hardbrick your phone and make it completely unusable.
If you cant tell im new to this forum. I appreciate the promptness and will do so. Thanks again

hello i bought galaxy s4 via aliexpress i been told its i9500 but when i tried to update via kies or FOTA it saying that its the last firmware
can you tell me by this info how can i upgrade it to kitkat? and if not how to install custom roms?
It seems like someone did a Frankenstine Operation on the Phone.
Based on the Firmware on there, it appears like this is an International Galaxy S4. If so, please post in [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. so that we are sure that is the device.
Based on your other Screenshot, your Bootloader is that of AT&T Canada Bell Galaxy S4 North American Version. If so, please post in Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid!
It is very crucial to not flash the wrong firmware as that would certainly Brick your Phone for good.
Once correct variant is confirmed, you might be able to get the correct Stock Firmware for your device.
If I really REALLY have to guess, since Product and Device code can be manipulated in the Rom, I'd trust the Bootloader, more to identify what it really is. And in your case that points to AT&T S4.

All US Variants of Samsung Galaxy S3 have been unified as D2LTE. If I recall correctly, AllTel is AT&T frequency user.
Given those two facts, the ROMs for ATT version of S3 called SGH-I747 should work effectively for you. For Ex. The Roms for ATT version do work in fact for Canadian variants.
Please post in Stupid Questions Thread- No Question too stupid! I promise! for AT&T Variant and one of the experts for the variant will be able to chime in.
Finally thank you some one finally respond to my question THANK YOU

Hello all,
First time poster here so hoping to drop this off in the right place. I have a brand new (out of the box) Samsung Galaxy S4 which I just purchased from my Boostmobile dealer the other day. Installed the latest Cynogenmod on it only to find that LTE did not work. 3G works fine but this prompted me to look around for help. After discussing in #SGS4 on freenode, I wiped the phone and installed the latest Optimized cm 12.1 build. Again, same problem. LTE does not work and 3G does.
Model: SPH-L720
ROM: OptimizedCM-12.1-20150817
Carrier: Boost Mobile
Something tells me my problem relates to the carrier?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm assuming you didn't have this problem on stock? It could be adb issues with cm. But I'd ask your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374543. They are the experts on your device.

Here is my issue. I got my "new" SCH-i545 (Verizon) and the last user updated it to the latest (Lollipop, OF1) which cannot be downgraded and there are not any root methods from what I heard from. If I was to find another Verizon S4 that hasn't been upgraded (in worse condition and cheaper of course), could I swap the motherboards and then unlock the bootloader with everything still working on the phone (camera, screen, antennae etc.) I want to find one old enough that I can use loki on and unlock to bootloader for cyanogenmod.
