Hello to all
I hope it's not a too stupid question but can I install a Verzion or Sprint Firmware on my regular Galaxy Nexus? I saw a nice firmware in the Verizon section and I don't know it's possible.
Thanks for your feedback and please don't kill me for this threat if it was a n00b question.
Never flash anything not for your exact device. Especially one that uses an entirely different network type.
The mobile components (HW, chipset etc..) are completely different between GSM (standard) and Verizon and Sprint .
Therefore you will have a not functional device for sure.. possibly a hard bricked one.

Hi experts,
Here on xda-developers, I read, that if we get the Samsung Galaxy S3, with the Exynos Processors, the APNs can be modified and can be used as a World Phone.
That means, if we are in the US we can use Verizon 4G LTE Network.
If we go to Europe, we can use the local SIM Card and use the local 4G LTE even from a GSM or a CDMA provider.
Here are my questions.
1. Is this possible? Is the information true?
Here is the link for that.
http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...ther-variants/
If this is possible, can the same be applied to the Snap Dragon Processors?
Swapping the Samsung Galaxy S3 between different carriers, Is this possible?
From Verizon to use it with AT&T and vice versa?
2. There is also a thread which shows that, the Galaxy S3 can now be booted from a SD Card.
Here is the link for that.

If that is possible, can the Bricked G3 Phones from Verizon or AT&T can be reused?
Thanks a lot for the answers and sharing of Your wisdom on this.
Peace,

Hey everyone, sorry in advance if this was already asked. I did a search and didn't find anything. I'm also sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I have a Galaxy Nexus from Verizon and am absolutely beyond done with them and contact services in general. Can my Verizon GNex work on another carrier? Which carriers will it work on? I know T-Mobile and other GSM carriers are out buy my knowledge of CDMA and if it's a single standard like GSM or if there are different flavors of CDMA is lacking.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated
Any CDMA should do the work, but to get it working it's different to just SIM-unlock your device like in GSM devices, If you're in the US, I believe Verizon and Sprint are the only CDMA compatible carriers.

Hi Guys, I've got some questions I'm hoping I can have addressed. I purchased a Galaxy S3 LTE (SGH-T999L) from T-Mobile awhile ago & i'm happy with the device. I am aware that the original model, SGH-T999 didn't come with LTE, however my confusion lies in that I've heard that with the 4.1.2 update, the T999 now supports LTE, but I've heard people say it doesn't.
My concern is that I am interested in rooting & installing a custom rom on my S3 LTE. I've seen some roms state that they support my model #, but in one rom I watched a review/install video for it & in the video, that specific rom only listed the SGH-T999 model, the non-lte variant.
I'm pretty confident in the knowledge that if I flashed a T999 rom, it would work on my device, however I'm uncertain on if I would lose the LTE functionality.
Thank you guys for sharing your wisdom
I don't think so

I don't think you would as it's a hardwear difference between the T999 and the T999L. As long as you have the LTE APN it should work, although the ROM may not show you have an LTE connection. You will have the speed but the ROM will just register it as 4G or HSPA+. But I'm not completely sure. I would make a nandroid to go back to just in case, and then see if you can get LTE speeds on your rom.
All of your questions have already been addressed in the T999L thread. Link in sig.

Hello,
I would like to put an S4 mini on Sprint, but now confused as to which model(s) will work on it. Looks like one model from them is SPH-L520, but I read that the GT-I9195 will work also.
I also want to be able to get Marshmallow on it.
From what I am seeing, the only active and stable development is being done for the GT-I9195 .
Will this work on Sprint's CDMA network?
Thanks
Only the L520 will work on Sprint. The l520 has a few roms but they're not 100%. Also I think the gt is a GSM phone It will not work on Sprint. I suggest if your going to use Sprint. Find a different phone. Also if you still want one don't get a prepaid one it may not work on a postpaid.
i can confirm this...Sph-l520 is the ONLY s4 mini version that works with sprint network and it has almost zero development progress available for it..such as roms and tweaks!! as most of the "regular" sized phones do... but with a rooted stock 4.4.2 rom w xposed and a ton of other ad on apps as i do...its a pretty jiffy phone on sprints network...
Hi,
Im a first time android user and recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S9 (International Version - SM G9600 - DUOS - Snapdragon). I need wifi calling very badly on At&T as my work and home both have bad reception so my purchase has handicapped me from making calls. I see a lot of forums talking about flashing At&T firmware on G960U VERSION. But i havent seen a single one talking about flashing it on g9600. Is it possible? I compared the specs and every hardware looks same except dual sim option. Will I brick my phone if i attempt it? Please suggest im in need to help from the pro community.
Regards.
