Hello all!
Since there are so many versions of the Note 4, I was wondering if we need to flash a carrier specific ROM or if we can flash any ROM to the Sprint one? For example, if CM 12 comes out for the T-Mobile variant are we still able to flash it to the Sprint one, and vice versa? Thanks for your time. I tried looking for a similar thread and couldn't find one, so i'm sorry if this is a duplicate. If so please link the correct thread and I'll remove this one. Thanks again.

You havw to flash sprint versions. Unless they build cm to be universal which they haven't yet. Each ROM is carrier specific for the radios.

Hi all, I've a very noob question regarding the note 2. I've just recently bought a at&t phone but I'm not using it in America. Is it OK for me to flash the international versions of ROMs and kernel?
What's the difference if I use the international version? I'm looking to change the modem anyway.
I've tried to look for information regarding this but can't find anything. I'm not new to flashing phone but this is my first note 2.
Thanks!

Hi,
I advice you not to flash N7100 ROMs on your AT&T device. It may work but it will conflict on firmware.
If you flash via Odin you'll probably have a red failed on the log or a black screen at boot... Keep AT&T firmwares.
It will erase your EFS folder (no phone/data/wifi) guaranteed if you do that.Please stay away from n7100 roms,you have been warned.

As the title states, I just picked up a AT&T galaxy S3. I am looking to use it on T-Mobile. Coming from a galaxy S1, the unlocking procedure is a bit different. It also seems that roms are fairly brand specific, so I assume I should be looking for i747 roms. There are so many options out there, could anyone point me in the right direction to get this phone up and running? Are there any special considerations I should be taking since I am using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile?

Before you do anything, if you want to unlock you phone so you can use it on another network go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033225&highlight=sim+unlock
You will probably need to change the apn numbers to match t-mobile which is easy.... as far as roms go, you should do some searching for t-moible roms in the development thread. Also not being familiar with AT&T and T-mobile you should check to see if they use the same band and also check which modem (radio) you need... I am sure there have been lots of people that have done this arleady.... search search search at least you asked the question before you started not after you had a wreck
Thanks for the link. I did the unlock procedure, haven't tested it yet since I still need to cut down my SIM card.
I also went through and did the CF-Root procedure with ODIN. So theoretically the phone should be ready to flash a custom rom.
I was under the impression that I should be looking at i747 roms instead of the T-mobile version (i999?) since my device is originally AT&T branded. You are saying this is not the case? Basically I should look at roms in the T-Mobile section? It might not matter anyway since some popular roms run on both.
UPDATE:
I installed Stockorama V2 on the phone and it is up and running on t-mobile. It is a multi-carrier rom, but I used the AT&T options when installing. Would I have better luck installing it as T-Mobile? Basically, can I install a T999 rom/kernel on a i747?

Hello Guys
First thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to provide me some info / input on my questions.
1. I would like to get out of the samsung branded install of the tmobile S4 and try a rom that would give me stock OS like the Google edition / Nexus phones.
2. Is it it possible to get 4.4 kitkat stock/custom rom installed on this phone ? any recommendations / issues ? i know that wifi calling is lost with stock roms but what about tethering ?
My phone is already rooted and TW recovery installed.
This type of thread is really not allowed here, users are expected to do their own research to determine which roms fit their needs.
As these type of threads typically spiral into best rom discussion and arguments over which is best...this thread is closed...
Hello, I am trying to find a custom stable and fast rom for Lte T mobile Lt version of S3. Thanks for any infos.
I mean that I want use LTE. thx
Any rom in this forum should work fine. Aside from the 4.3 rom I just posted, I dont believe there are any roms built from T999L firmware.
Please read the Q&A thread for more on the T999L. Nearly every question you may have is likely addressed there already.
Don't think so. Anyway thx.
Hello all, I've been following the M8 forum for a few weeks in anticipation of getting a new phone on May 8th. I have a bit of a noob question though, one that I've been unable to find the answer to myself.
Which version of ARHD 5.0 should I install on a T-Mobile HTC One M8? I've been following their thread for a while and intend to unlock/root/install ARHD within a few days of getting the device. I see mentions of the international version as well as different versions for each US carrier. My understanding is that GSM carriers can install international versions whereas CDMA carriers must install their specific variants.
If my understanding is correct and you are able to install the international version or the T-Mobile version, then what is the difference?
I appreciate any help. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to rooting and flashing roms, but I'm coming from a VZW Galaxy Nexus where it was pretty much idiot proof. I've been running the same ROM for so long that I know exactly how to flash it each time a new update is released. It didn't have specific variants because the ROM was designed specifically for the VZW Gnex. So I'm a little confused by the different variants and want to make sure I don't mess anything up a week after I get the phone.
Again, thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me wade through my confusion.
You can flash any GSM variant.
The differences will be whatever the carrier has done to tweak their version of the roms, included apps, tweaked settings, signal icons etc.

Thank you for confirming that. While I was like 90% sure, it's better to have someone confirm that for me.
