Ok, I am trying to get my vzw galaxy s4 of1 5.01 (lollipop?) working with the tmobile sim. So far everything but voicemail and sms has been successful. After multiple long chats with the people at Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung I have concluded the only way to do this would be to to flash a new ROM. I am a total noob to this. I got root access with Kingroot, but I still need a custom recovery ( no idea what to use for my phone). Also, can I only use certain types of roms? Can anyone tell me how I install Odin? I have so many questions and wish there was a step by step for noobs. Please help, Any suggestions or info would be helpful and appriciated.
Unfortunately the route you're wanting to go isn't successful either. I stumbled across this link and it works, however with no LTE

I only had an issue with SMS / MMS.
After entering tmoblie vpn seetings all is working

I have adjusted and re-adjusted my APN with hopes of getting this issue resolved. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. I find it weird because others have had success. I can not get advanced signal status phone info option to work for this particular build and have read that others have the same issue. I know from what I have read that flashing a ROM is risky but I saw this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555 and am curious if this could be a viable option.
I was able to use the phone properly after installing the app that let's me turn off LTE. I can turn on the LTE if I need faster speed, but if someone texts me while I'm on it, I can't respond to them. I can however send MMS.

Hey everyone, I've searched thru the forum looking to see if someone had the same issues I did, and the stellar assistance that was given to others with various problems, I'm hoping that I can get the same (haven't seen anyone with my particular issues yet).
As mentioned in the title, I'm using a stock T-Mobile Amaze, unlocked and I'm using it in Barbados. A few weeks ago, a notification popped up on my phone.

Naturally, I was curious to see what this update was, but after ensuring that everything that was required for the update was in place, I see this...
...which I'm sure means there's some error in installing the update. The phone freezes, and I can't get out of this without doing a battery pull a la blackberry. This is issue 1.
Issue 2 is that a lot of my menus have wrong names, e.g. the 1 for Wireless connections says "Turn It On"
and even the options within the menus are wrong, e.g. In the display menu, to set the screen brightness, that option is entitled "Set A PIN code to lock your UIM Card"
Further to these, often when I try to access many of my settings, the whole shebang crashes, and asks me about sending an error report. Til now, nothing has changed in that regard. Any assistance to these problems would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is just to do a master reset on the phone. It should clear up all those issues.
tried it...didn't work (well, the menus still are screwed up, and the settings keep crashing when i try to access some of them, like the Sound menu.)

Have you tried locking your bootloader and flashing the stock firmware?
You already unlocked your bootloader, right?
Just flash a custom rom.
If you REALLY want to flash the 1.43 update then relock your bootloader and flash this: http://goo.gl/KvHzj
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and store it on the root of your sdcard.
It will update everything.
Then unlock your bootloader again, reroot and you'll be good.
I bought a brand new photon 4g and upon activating it.. I made the mistake of accepting the OTA 45.3.6 because now, despite all my efforts to root the device using AIO's, torpedo method, and even using the relatively new method that apparently works well with the Photon
@ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235376
Im about ready to give up. Ive had plenty of experience rooting and flashing my HTC Hero CDMA and Samsung Epic however, i was not expecting this.
It seems the main problem with the AIO's is that they are outdated and I am only receiving error messages upon clicking the batch file (yes i have debugging while USB on)
If anybody could help me or give me an alternative rooting method I would be greatful. Would unlocking the bootloader before trying to root make a difference? Again any help would be super appreciated because I've ready the forums and used TFSE and im still coming up stock.
So I'm really new to the Photon too (came from an Evo4G), and had updated to the latest OTA as well. I just rooted using this method, it worked great:
[ROOT] Photon Torpedo, dockless root access
More specifically, I followed the directions here. Note: I did get an error message near the end of that process, but just kept going, and it worked just fine.
I haven't unlocked the bootloader, so someone else will have to chime in for advice on that....
That worked! And I happened to find another set of directions that made things even easier:

I am going nuts here I have been searching all over the net and I still have not been able to fix this problem, so I am sorry if this seems like a repeated thread.
I have a Tmobile rooted Samsung Galaxy S III, I was running a nightly Cyanogenmod 10 ROM. Yesterday there was an update for that rom and I downloaded it and installed it, everything was fine and running smoothly until some people started telling me that they were not able to reach me by phone. I tried checking what was wrong and I finally realized that whenever I have my mobile data on or while I am using it I don't receive voice calls. I tried looking everywhere for a way to fix this and I came across the ##DATA# code in which I could turn off the DDTM option but unfortunately my phone doesn't recognize that code.

}
this is the message I get every time I try to enter ##3282# code.
I thought that maybe something was wrong with the ROM itself so i decided to browse around here for one for my Tmobile samsung galaxy S 3 and I decided to install this one [ROM][4.2.2][RC1] LiquidSmooth ROMs - d2tmo - 2|14|13
after wiping data/cache and dalvik cache I installed this ROM and this is my current phone info
and still when I am using my mobile data I cant receive calls nor put the ##DATA# code to turn off DDTM.
is there any other way I could access that DDTM option? I am so frustrated or maybe I am doing something wrong.. I do admit I am no pro at this.
Please if any of you could help me I will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Wrong forum, mate. Ask in the T-Mobile S3 forum. This is for GT-I9300 International S3, not the T-Mobile variant. Anything suggestions you get here might brick your phone. Good luck!
For the record, even I couldn't access the ##DATA# code in GT-I9300.

What version is this ? CM 10.1 ?
There is no stable build out yet, so you might want to report these issues in a CM 10.1 nightly specific thread.
Nightly builds are prone to have issues. That's why they are not called stable
I have scoured the forums and google. Im pretty good at figuring these things out. Not sure if im experiencing a factory mouse issue or not. No pics in the threads.
Issue: System info window keeps popping up in menu.(check img)
Occured: After flashing a stock Att md5 from liquid smooth ROM
Attempts:
-Reflashed several stock variations of the md5 through odin.
-installed terminal emulator and tried the typical "factory mode" that is pointed to Verizon users. Entering "echo -No...."
-Initiated self doubt then banged head on wall.
-ReReReFlashed stock ATT with injected root (downloaded from XDA thread)
Interesting points: All my roms and stock md5's have been downloaded from XDA. Im 100% sure im using the correct version. I noticed in attempting to finally sign up for XDA I was initially blocked from doing so because "in attempts to block spam, Verizon IPs are blocked" That's Weird because I'm an ATT user and was on my 4g network.

ha I just typed the whole darn thing in there and it worked fine. sweet deal. I was really puzzled!
I have a problem. I flashed a Huawei Ascend 2 cyangenmod 10.1 rom on my Huawei u8650 and the flash went fine and the rom works perfectly all except the network from T-Mobile is not recognized.I have searched Google and been through numerous forums and threads and have yet to find the same issue or a solution. Most of the solutions ive seen say to switch CDMA Subscription from NV to Ruim/Sim but when i try that i would select Ruim/Sim but it will just switch back to NV without even trying to switch. I really need help. I can make calls but i cant txt or use my mobile data plan and i cant figure out whats wrong. someone please help, i want to keep android 4.2.1 on here but i want the phone to be able to connect to te network too.
Thanks to all those who help, i greatly appreciate it
