Do the sprint and verizon versions share the same radio packages? Seeing as how the sprint GN shipped with 4.0.4 i would assume they would have a unique/new cdma<e radio. is this true and would these be compatible with the verizon GN as well?
Nope. They are different.
would a verizon cdma GN be able to utilize the sprint GN radios though or are they each built for their respective networks?

They MIGHT work, but the lte definitely won't... Often times when sprint is roaming, your using Verizon network

No, you cannot use the LTE Nexus on AT&T.
Rabble rabble rabble.
Unless the att version has GSM and ATT LTE.
Verizon and AT&T don't have the same LTE network.

No it won't work. You're going to be using it on AT&T's HSPA+.

Its labeled wrong. It is a I9250. I9250 is the pentaband version (yakju,yakjuxw,etc)
mysid.... SCH-I515 is the code name for Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE.
HSPA+ on AT&T is considered "4G" on their network.

This is correct.
Just get the unlocked GSM version. It completely flies on AT&T's network.
You need the GSM version, not the LTE on AT&T.
On LTE phones, all voice calls are routed through 3G, which is CDMA, so there's your most obvious reason why the LTE GN won't work on AT&T.
I just picked up the nexus lastnight, now i see roms saying gsm so im guessing there are 2 options, i thought verizon was cdma but this phone has a 4g lte sim in it so it is gsm correct?
Verizon and the soon-to-be-released Sprint version is CDMA/LTE.
Rest of World is GSM/UMTS
You want the ROM's in the CDMA section, unless you want to brick your new phone.
Thank you

So I have the CDMA Verizon version of the GNEX and I was wondering if I can unlock it to work with T-Mobile, I know I'll probably have to cut my sim but what else do I need to do to accomplish this? Can anyone point me to a guide or something ? Thanks guys

Not gonna happen - Verizon is CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM. Different radio bands, different cell technology, etc.

What they said. You can however sell your Verizon Nexus and buy an unlocked GSM one. That's the route I went.
How many times must this be answered
It won't work. Just sell yours and pony up a few extra $$ for the difference to buy a GSM model.
Just curious, but were your CDMA GNex's having problems? I've tried about 4 of them (via VZW customer replacement policy) and keep having one way audio dropouts. This combined with Google's decision to remove CDMA devices from AOSP support has me thinking of selling mine and getting the GSM version.
If I may, how much were you guys able to recoup by selling them? Is there a market for these CDMA versions?

On the XDA marketplace the CDMA Nexus is going for $400-$450. You could probably expect about the same on Craigslist. I have the GSM and got it for $565. As far as your bad handsets, it sounds like you have just been unlucky. I wouldn't sell just because of Google dropping AOSP support. I don't think it will affect the Galaxy Nexus very much if at all, and it is still going to be the most dev'd phone on Verizon. I do think it will affect future Nexus devices making their way to Verizon though.

Drama! Hmmm wondering where did the 4.0.4 came from ...

Ok ima try to keep it as short and simple as i can. I have a stock T-999 s3 tweaked to perfection running of Net-10 prepaid with the bring your own sim. Not only that I have it network unlocked so no matter what sim i place in weather its AT&T, t-Mobile, straight talk ect. i have service, each service i can critique to its best functions. Now heres my point. I also have a US Cellular galaxy S3 , rooted, and no matter what i do or try i cannot get this specific model to run a gsm provider via sim card. Im no wiz, but i get the idea, and my idea is to take this phone that is not supposed to operate on gsm carriers and make it operate. A recent example of success doing so was with my Droid Razr Maxx HD, i was able to successfully root the phone but as you all know verizon does not support us gsm carriers within the united states , or even on their network for that matter they block it. however after flashing a different modem, i am currently running t-mobile with great service! So any talk of "its impossible" i dont need, negitivity is not needed. i am fresh to this stuff but it fascinates me. cutting to the chase, what needs to be done to this sgs3 model #SCH-R530U to make it operate and function on a gsm carrier within the United states. Hacking Manipulating and tricking is all welcome that what were all about. Ive tried several things changing to global mode, gsm only,, faking gps positions to outside the u.s. and apn settings among countless hours beyond and im at a loss.. please im open to ideas and suggestions hopefully one day we make every model capable as nevery other
I believe the issue you are facing is because that particular S3 does not contain the necessary GSM radio chip needed to use those networks.
According to this (and its a wiki so it could be wrong):
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III
That S3 does not have any GSM bands for 2G or 3G.
However, once T-Mobile launches its 4G LTE on the AWS band, it should work...assuming the 4G network is both voice & data over LTE AWS.
The RAZR does work cause it does have the necessary 2G/3G GSM radio chip.

Simply put, the Verizon galaxy s3 is the only variant that has both CDMA and GSM bands. So if you wanted to do what you're saying, it would be most possible with the Verizon variant.
But for what you want to do, you'll need a world phone. And I believe the Verizon s3 is a world phone. Just gotta "hack" the GSM bands. Since they aren't active by default. But your T-Mobile att s3 will never work on CDMA. Also not lte will most likely not work on other carriers.

Just curious about this. There is a lot of talk about T-Mobile S3 running/not running LTE once it starts, but what about this setting on my T999?

"So I put my phone into airplane mode and threw it... worst transformer ever. -.-" -My friend
Is this possible? I currently have the AT&T version, and since it has an LTE radio, could I use that with Verizon? If not can I use the Sprint version on Verizon?
Carrier unlocking is currently illegal unless you have permission from your carrier. That aside, Verizion is CDMA so it wouldn't work.
No as it has the wrong bands for lte besides what the post above said!

I don't even think you could use the Sprint version in Verizon, at least not on lte. As far as I know, Verizon phones use some cards to connect to lte. Sprint phones do not.

Sprint actually requires a UICC(sim card) for LTE... ours is just embedded into the device so you can't remove or swap them(easily).
But you are correct that Sprint LTE devices would not work on Verizon if you wanted LTE.
Talk/Text/EVDO is cross-compatible on all cdma phones/networks as long as the manual programming is done properly.
I'd like to remind Lokifish Marz that only devices purchased on or after Jan 26 2013 are held to this... and many of us purchased the Optimus G prior to this date. Also the CDMA unlock rules are even more grey than the GSM rules. Manually setting a data profile via ##DATA# to another data profile from another CDMA carrier has nothing to do with any "sim-unlock" or any secret methods to disable firmware security.
