im sure its been asked and i apologize in advance. just trying to make sure i have complete clarity on this. i currently have the sprint g2 and have flashed the tmobile rom for it that was made for this g2. however, i was wondering if roms from the other carriers work as well? i love the tmobile rom but i need bluetooth. aside from that my visual voicemail and wifi calling are awesome.
any tthoughts would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!!!
currently have 38 looks and no responses....
You can flash other Roms I believe just have to unlock it. Verizon and such won't work as will neither international types.
Look in the sprint g2 development. I believe there is a thread on unlocking. I'm sprint so I don't really read the stuff I don't need.

so att and tmobile variant roms will work? can anyone confirm this?
As long as they run on the same band. You don't want a different modem planned and really break the phone

Virgin Mobile's new S2 is actually just an E4GT with VM branded software. VM runs on Sprint towers, but if we flash your roms certain things won't work. I'm here to ask if any devs would be willing to help us. Our forum is on phandroid, but most of you guys are on xda. Like I said, your roms will boot but certain things (mms/4g/3g) won't work. If anyone would be willing to help us, please contact me on xda or find our forum on android forums (it's under "Samsung Galaxy S2 4G"). Thanks and merry Christmas.

I have a sprint e4gt flashed to virgin Mobile and everything on every rom works great. Need to fix apn settings for mms to work but never ran into any other problems.. Maybe it's because it's a sprint phone..

If it helps any our model number is SPH-D710VMUB. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Also, if anyone can point a dev to this thread, that'd be great.

One thing I'm going to experiment with after activating the GN2 today is a quick flash of CSC data. The goal would be that you flash this image in Odin after a build and it will apply the correct settings.
Now keep in mind I won't be able to test beyond flashing as this phone will be deactivated. But if it works - and I should be able to see what the settings are at least - I'll put it out there for others to test.
Until then the best way to get around it is to modify the settings manually. Sprint, Boost and Virgin are the same h/w, all the issues you are experiencing are settings based only.
I'm quite curious about this... Will the Sprint rom work for this phone? Or would I lose some kind of functionality?
I'm about to recieve Virgin Mobile's S2 and I don't want to run into any kind of issues :laugh:
It will just gotta change MMS settings
Were you able to change your APN settings on a custom ROM? I'm on paranoid and its not letting me I'm trying to flash a e4gt to metro.

I think you'll have to go in and change it manually. I think the file is called apns.xml? Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

Should just be a mmsc setting change
Sprint touchwiz doesn't have files to work with virgins mms. That's why there's no tw fix yet, only cm10. You can read more about it in one of the mms fix threads, but I can't remember which one. I'd expect it to be okay with the virgin Mobile rom sextape is going to release soon though. :fingerscrossed:

So I am new to GSM phones anyway but I just got an AT&T GSIII and I am using it on T-Mobile. I am a Sprint user initially (rooted Gnexus) and testing T-Mobile in an area I frequent to compare if it is worth switching.
My questions is I am already downloading the root kit and ready to run a ROM but should I use a T-Mobile Rom or an AT&T Rom. Also not sure if I should be asking this in the T-Mobile general section. Any advice would be great.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
If its an ATT phone it should have an ATT ROM. (I've never tried any other carries so anyone else correct me if I'm wrong)
Just set your APNs to tmobiles APN and you should be set.

You can use any Rom that states the option for picking tmobile or att in Aroma installer
Also I can verify you can odin a stock T-Mobile tar file onto the i747 and get perfect working 4g and wifi calling.
Flashing strictly t-mobile roms may be another problem.
A few good roms for T-Mobile users on the att i747 @re
Wicked Rom v10
And T-Motion both in att android dev.
Make sure to choose t-mobile as the carrier when u set up aroma install on the i747 if you use tmobile sim..
The reason the roms all works across the t999 @i747 is because the phones are so identical and the build props have been tweaked/edited to create working roms on a completely diff carrier device.

I am trying to find out the ROM for my i747 that I am using for T-Mobile, that will give me 4G and WIFI calling.
If I will use Wicked Rom v10 or T-Motion will I get these functions working ? If not, what ROM would you suggest?
I am completely new, so don't blame me guys
Thank you.
I was running axis ROM and it worked great. Lots of stock features like multi window and motions. But very customizable. I haven't tried flashing a T-Mobile ROM yet tho. Actually didn't know I could. I thought the Roms were specific to the phone model

You mean that WIFI calling was working?
You should have no problems flashing T-Mobile ROMs on there, and you can always flash back to an AT&T rom if it doesn't work.
You will need to follow these instructions to get it to flash though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45813646&postcount=2

Wondering if you ever got this done and working with WiFi calling.
I have this funky i747 in a T999 case thing going. I'm running an ATT stockmod ROM on it, but thinking of flashing a T-Mobile ROM on it
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303 - though I've been advised not to flash the modem it says to flash ... last time I did on this phone I lost IMEI ... upside is this time the NVitems data has been backed up). At any rate, I haven't tried it yet. Word is it'll either work or it won't, and I can flash back to the ATT stockmod I'm using if it doesn't. But I'm a little leery of trying it right now.
The reason to do it would be to get wifi calling. Otherwise I like the phone just fine the way it is. That's why I'm reading threads like this. To see what experience others have had.
I flushed with Wicked v10 :

I have i747 and using it for T-Mobile and WIFI calling is working !!!
I use the Galaxy Note 2 I 317 on T Mobile I would really like to try some different roms weather AT&T or t-mobile roms but I need the wifi calling feature I know one of th3 T Mobile ROMs was incorporated with the AT&T note 2, and it has wifi calling working which is what I'm using currently but it is pretty basic 4.1 .2 build.
Does anybody know of any tmobile or att built roms that have the wifi call feature incorporated that I can flash on the i317 that will give me the wifi calling feature unfortunately I rely on that because of poor coverage in my area
I'm guessing the roms are probably probably if any going to be t mobile base roms I know you can pretty much flash anything onto the I 317 from t-mobile as far as I have read but I was curious about the radio and modem part of it

Most Rom's don't include the modem!!!! But when flashing a Rom the OP should state that this Rom is compatible across many devices!
And yes if you mix match the wrong modem with your phone you'll end up with a boot loop:banghead:! Fyi
There's a few AT&T Rom's that a few TMO users have tried and work great.
I'm running SKY NOTE on both my AT&T & TMO GN2 with no problems. And GW set-up on both of them.

I understand but what im looking for is a tmobile rom that flashes fine with wifi calling or an att rom that was rebuilt with t mobile wifi calling. All I want is a rom that has wifi calling wethwr is att rebuilt or t mobile based . That will flash to the i317.
I know of one its just stock t889-i317 with the wifi calling Built 4.1.2 but its plain jane.
No matter how much I google oe look under and development for eqch forum I cant pinpoint one rom that has this.
Thus why im asking outright as a question.
This is all temporarily until I can trade for a branded t889

If that TMO Wi-Fi calling is an apk??, then you should be able to pull it from any Rom that has it!!

Just changed this post, 5 min ago I Was having a problem but it was solved, so... Different question!
Just got this S3 l747, for AT&T. I use T-Mobile. I have unlocked it and my SIM is working and all, but just wondering if there is a T-Mobile "Stock" ROM for it, so I get the T-Mobile "feel"? If not then a de-bloated stock ROM? I just really hate seeing all the AT&T apps and things when I don't use AT&T, But I actually like the stock touchwiz feel.

Bumpity, still hoping this is possible.
Hi guys, I have an att note 2 completely rooted running on a T-Mobile Sim card, my question is, going forward, should I be using ROM specific to sgh-i317 or can I use t-889 based ROM? Should I also be using T-Mobiles radio modem as well? Thanks!
"Completely rooted"? How did you accomplish that, as I am only partially rooted....lol (jk., sorry I couldn't help myself).
Anyway, you can use T-mo Roms, just make sure it will be compatible with your phone.
I think if you flash a modern not meant for your phone, you will be very, VERY sorry.
Good luck.

Just to be on the safe side, i think i'll stick to using att based ROM. Thanks for the input!

I believe any rom in the N7105 forum are compatible with AT&T and T-mobile Note 2. I've been flashing them on my T-mobile phones with no problems. BUt if you're unsure, just ask or do a quick search in the thread.
