I have a global Verizon TP2, that I've now moved to T-Mobile service. Obviously, I'm now using the GSM network.
My questions is, and I haven't seen it answered elsewhere, can I flash a GSM ROM or must I flash a CMDA Rom and set my network manually?
I may have missed the answer in my search, I admit, but I did try.
I should add, I've unlocked using HardSpl and the radio unlocker by Olipro and friends, which is how I got it working with T-mobile. I've also flashed the unofficial "official" 6.5 ROM for Verizon TP2.
CDMA is thats what your base phone is.

I'm not positive but I do not think you can flash any rom but an official upgrade from verizon, This is a hybird phone and no cooks have made any customs roms for it yet that I'm aware of...
There are custom ROMs for CDMA TP2, but not as many as for GSM TP2. I was just wondering. If I flash a CMDA ROM, I have to work through all the settings again to set it up for GSM, and it's a pain.
But if I must, I must.

It is a verizon phone so it is CDMA with the ability to use the GSM network. You HAVE to flash a CDMA ROM.

Head over to the Touch Pro 2 forums at ppcgeeks.com. That is a comunity more dedicated to CDM A development. There are quite a few CDMA roms available there.
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't figure out the answer clearly after doing a search. I currently have the S3 with Sprint and am using a custom ROM. I want to switch to T-mobile (b/c their service is better in my area) and I know that I will have to get a new S3 that works on their GSM network. My question is will the same ROMs that worked on my Sprint S3 work on my Tmobile S3, or are roms carrier specific? Thanks
For the most part, roms are carrier specific. There's a sticky thread in development that you can make any rom work for your phone, you will have to get your hands dirty tho. Not just a zip and flash type thing.
I can install roms for sprint forum?
what model number is your S3? i've seen I9300's on telcel. if this is what you have as well, you should be in the i9300 forums. cheers
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.

Hello guys! I'm thinking of buying a Harman Kardon SIM unlocked M8, but I've one serious question.
Is every ROM/Kernel cross flashable? Can I flash everything here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development) on it?
Sorry for the noob question, but please help me!
Harmon Kardon edition is Sprint, which is a US carrier with a CDMA network. Unless your local carrier is CDMA-based, I would not advise buying this version. The HK edition is known as a "CDMA" variant (along with the Verizon version). Yes, it does include some GSM support (mainly for Sprint customers while travelling abroad) but its different hardware from just about every other M8 version (which are known as "GSM" versions of the M8).
For the HK edition, you should only flash ROMs specifically intended for the Sprint variant. And that is part of the reason I would not recommend buying this version. Your choice or ROMs would be more limited, and you are better off with a "GSM" M8. Also, radios are interchangeable on the GSM versions, but can't be flashed to the CDMA variants. Meaning for the most part, band compatibility is set on the CDMA version, while on the GSM version, you can flash radios from other carriers and change band compatibility (if you need to do so to get service on your local carrier).
The HK audio mod can be flashed to just about any other M8 version, its just a software mod. So the only desirable thing (if you are not on a CDMA carrier) about the HK edition would be if you like the color scheme, or the HK earbuds.
And no, ROMs and kernels are not all cross-compatible. Sense kernels only work on Sense ROMs, AOSP kernels on AOSP ROMs, etc. Also, you can't mix a KitKat ROM with a Lollipop kernel, and so on. When in doubt, read the kernel thread to check for details.
