hello
I am wondering if there is anyone here that still has a stock sensation from Bell.
I am just wondering which version of android are you running and has Bell even attempted to do over the air update yet?
well im sure it will take time for bell to upload their plethora of bloatware
hahaha yup I remember I purchased the phone the first day it came out.
They put so much garbage on its ridiculous ! I've rooted right away and flashed a clean rom.

There's been an OTA update a while back.
My version is 2.3.4/1.45.666.5
I'm currently using an unlocked AT&T G2 on the T-Mobile network, but all these AT&T specific features and apps are really bugging the crap out of me. Has anyone tried installing a T-Mobile version of the stock firmware on this Model? Really didn't want to just jump in and mess up my phone without asking first.

Hi All,
Newbie here, I have a samsung s4 that has been rooted and CMW installed and I'd like to flash it back to stock. The phone was originally locked to virgin mobile Canada but I paid to get it unlocked. Do I need a ROM specific to virgin mobile to flash back to stock or will any one do as long as it's for the S4? for example I've seen ones that are for at&t, rogers, bell, etc... does it make any difference?
Reason I want to flash back to rom is to be able to get the OTA updates again and be able to upgrade to lolipop when it comes out. In fact, is there a way to re-activate OTA with out having to reflash?
thanks in advance, keep up the excellent work!

I think you are talking about unrooting.To do this you have to go to SuperSu and settings(whatever it is called).There is an option called "permanent unroot" this should takeaway your root access

Hi Kobro,
Does it matter what type of ROM I use? My phone is an s4 originally locked to Virgin Mobile Canada, does this mean I need to find specifically a Virgin Mobile Canada ROM for my s4 or will any stock ROM do as long as it's for s4? (I haven't been able to find a Virgin Mobile Canada stock ROM anywhere for the s4)
Thanks in advance!

any s4 stock rom should do the trick
however, you should try sammobile.com to seeif they have the carrier specific firmware.
After flashin with odin i suggest to use kies to control the latest version.
Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I might wait till Lolipop is officially released for s4 before I flash back to stock. S4 Lolipop here I come!
Ok so i have a G955U Verizon unlocked S8+. I want to use it on AT&T but i was told that verizon had disabled a few of the AT&T bands. I dont care about rooting, but if i could root and get all the AT&T bands and no bloat ware that would be above and beyond. I would mostly be happy with just having the capability to use all the bands. So i saw PartCyborgRom had a custom rom that has just recently been updated to work with the v3 BL. Would this rom give me access to all of my AT&T bands? Sorry im a newb haha 15+ year forum creeper, first time poster. Need some help guys this new stuff is over my head! Cheers and thanks!
EDIT: So i have found bboii86's thread on the AT&T S8+ Stock Oreo G955USQU3CRD4 Odin files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...g955u-stock-g955usqu3crd4-odin-files-t3789751 and because im already running the same baseband version somehow but with Verizon bloatware im going to try flashing it. I suppose having the AT&T bloatware rather than verizon would just make me feel better lol. So new question with parts of the old still in place: will running PartCyborgRom give me access to all the bands on the AT&T network and will I be able to use it being on the 8.0 (oreo) Android Version? Much appreciated my friends.

i think this is what youre looking for
I've got G955U (unlocked At&t) version and there aren't a lot of roms for it. I'm trying to stay on stock version, but I really want to update to 9.0
Online, Ive only found TMobile update to 9.0.
I don't have an AT&T sim with me because I have to be in India for a year, so I'm not getting to OTA.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?!
Thanks

Yes look up carrier switching for 955u and it will come up on xda
Update, after trying several methods, I used the method in the link below and it worked flawlessly!
