Compatibility to different network Issues..?

Hi XDA,
I am currently on a T-mobile contract, but I will move to a different country for business purposes.
I know how to do the device unlock (thanks to youtube), but I was just thinking of different issues that
might come across when using different GSM network.
my device is rooted, running custom rom with T-mobile radio.
my questions are:
1. even if i unlock my device, shouldnt i flash a different rom that is compatible to other networks? (different radio too?)
2. could i use the roms and radios that are used in international version?
if the process is more complicated than I am thinking, could someone light me up?
Thanks in advance.

Never flash anything from an international model as you will brick your device.

[Q] Best baseband for Rogers network in Canada

I am looking for a baseband that works best for Rogers in Canada. It doesn't look like there is a North American (UG) baseband available:
1. Would anyone know which other country's baseband would work the best?
2. N7100 is a international phone, so would a different country's baseband make a difference to the performance of the phone on a particular network? (I am just confused)
Thanks!

Are custom roms compatible with the I257m?

Being Canadian not getting the international phone can any one tell me if the international Roms will work with the Canadian s4 mini? I know it's very similar to the us model but that one has a locked
Bootloader if I am not mistaken.and the Canadian model is not locked.
I know the 6.3 mega has compatibility between Canadian and international models, (and very similar hardware to the s4mini) so I was hoping if someone had tried the s4mini international Roms on their I257m and had any luck.

Do these ROMs work on the T-Mobile Variant?

May be a dumb question but since I see a different section for the T-Mobile variant, aren't they both the same unlocked version? So all ROMs from this section should work on the T-Mobile version right?

Anyone with T-Mobile on here flashing ROMs?

Most roms should be work t-mobile.I think only cdma phones will have issues.Im on at&t m8 and on t-mobile network.

SGH-I317M Puerto Rico Claro version

SIM-locked to Claro Puerto Rico with Android 4.3.
I did not see any original Claro ROMs to reflash it down to 4.1.1 to unlock. Is it worth trying to flash it with any other (Canadian or AT&T ROM) or I'd be better off just purchasing unlock code? I've heard that I317 and I317M has 100% identical hardware, on another side it's a very bad idea to flash phone with the wrong model ROM.

I would not take a chance and just buy the unlock code.
Usually, Odin stops a person from flashing an incorrect ROM to a phone.

Found myself plenty of ROMs for Claro. Just need to understand what I317MUMBMA1 version is

MA1 appears to be either 4.1.1 or 4.1.2.

Thanks! 4.1.2 is MH2

Did you flash the MA1 ROM to sim unlock via the dialler ?
