I own a i9505 International LTE model. My carrier has soon went for TDD LTE in Romania which is a first here. As everybody knows this far the i9505 only supports FDD LTE.
There seems to be two S4 models i9507 and I9507V that both support TDD LTE bands and are available in HK and Australia.
Tried flashing the LTE modem from those models but my bootloader refuses the file and i get an error in ODIN.
I used QXDM and modified the phone. DFS CDMA tool uppon scan now shows my phone accepts the stock LTE bands + Band38 but when
the phone attempts to connect to the Band38 it goes with no signal no network then falls back into 3G.
I believe i enabled the permision to connect to Band38 but because the modem has no instructions of it , it still can't communicate on Band38
There have been reports of i9507+-V users that flashed i9505 roms and theyre modem got overwriten resulting in no more DATA connection for them. It's clear FDD modem on a TDD network will not work.
Is there any chance of forcing the LTE modem from i9507V onto the i9505 phone ? Would Heimdall overpass the bootloader's check ?
The i9505 latest bootloader and modem is OH2 , on I9507V there is OH3
Also what is the worst case scenario ? I would imagine FDD network loss and/or wifi. Is that impossible to recover from or flashing the correct modem over would fix it ?
Anyone encoutered flashing the wrong modem file and recovered from it ?
I don't care if i loose FDD networks since my carrier only has TDD on 4G.
Also. Would it be possible to combine the i9505 5.0.1 sources against i9507V 5.0.1 sources and come up with a combined modem ?
