Phone stats:
Make: Samsung Galaxy s4 Model #: SGH-I337M Android Version: 5.0.1 Baseband Version: I337MVLUGOH1 Kernel Verion: 3.4.0-4508315 DPI@SWHD7402 #1
Old Carrier: Telus (unlocked by carrier) New carrier: Wind mobile
Problem:
After researching web/youtube, I had bought the S4 on the premise that I could add the AWS band on to the phone with relative ease after watching a youtube video tutorial. (I'm not extremely technical but I'm a DIY guy and thought I could take on the challenge)
After purchasing the phone, I started following the steps in the video and quickly realized that the OS on the tutorial was older than my newly purchased phone with a updated OS. First video I found, told me to use a code *#7284# to enter into the modem settings (which no longer works for some reason). Then I found a video that asked me to enter *#0808# (this does work to get into the settings the tutorial asked me to change). The problem is, that after I change the settings from "MTP" to “RNDIS + DM + MODEM”, my phone will not connect to my computer and thus renders me unable to continue with the tutorial. (computer says "unable to identify USB connection")
I'm worried because I need to have my phone up and running before the end of this month because I have to return a shitty ACER phone I purchased temporarily from costco is running out of its 90 day return policy.
I know the phone is already 2 generations behind its predecessors but I'm hoping someone in this forum can help me out!
