What happens if I try and flash an att ROM on my ls990? I have att service and this sprint model g3 and so far I can only use the dirty unicorns ROM. Its good but I would like to try others. The guides on unlocks dont seem to work for me. I am aware some methods work on zv4/zv6 and others on zv8 but I can't seem to make any of them work. I'm just convinced the best thing to do is get a ROM that is already gsm enabled and so far DU is the only one in the sprint g3 section I have found that works. It would be amazing to have an att ROM on this phone model, so how can I accomplish that?
Bump, no answers? I know its a stupid question but whatever

Hey everyone,
I'm definitley not a noob at flashing roms / rooting / unlocking , etc....Been flashing phones like crazy the last few years (s3,note2,htc one,nexus,etc)But I have one question that I cannot find the answer anywere.. I bought a T Mobile S4 which was blacklisted on T Mobile so I am using it on AT&T wtih full LTE.. Which Roms do I flash for this thing? Do I flash TMO roms or ATT roms, or does the kernal flash just matter? If this is a stupid question, sorrry! lol. Just don't want to brick this thing.
Thanks Guys.

Not trying to sound TOO condesending, but you haven't read much of anything in these forums if you couldn't find your answer to that. All variants of the S4 can flash each other's ROMs as long as you immediately flash a kernel for your specific device. You have a T-Mobile device so you will need kernels from this section; but you are free to use ROMs for the AT&T, Sprint, i9505, etc. Just don't flash anything via Odin that's not meant for your specific device, and don't flash anything at all meant for the Exynos version (i9500).

Yeah I know most ROMS support all Variants but I wasn't 100% sure. I must of been searching the wrong things....I was confused with the kernal flashing as well. I have always owned a Carrier Specific device and never have used an unlocked device thus far, so I was a bit confused . Thanks for Clarifying though! :good:
Infamous S4 ROM has an Aroma installer that will support multi carriers.
Look at the change log for more details.

How are you still using the blacklisted phone if it's blocked for tmobile? Thought the two carriers shared imeis?

I was going to say the same thing. If you're blacklisted on T-Mobile, you'll be blacklisted on AT&T. I have a blacklisted T-Mobile and any sim (even international) is blacklisted while in the US. However, in other countries, it works fine.
Hi,
I have SIM unlocked, rooted Tmobile's samsung Galaxy SIII (SGH-T999); put AT&T SIM card and it is working fine. As a fundamental question on loading custom ROMs, should I be picking ROMs from AT&T forum in XDA or Tmobile in XDA??? So far I have been using Avatar/Liquid Smooth ROM built for Tmobile....still it doesnt make sense to me as i am currently on AT&T....I dont want to brick my phone by doing something wrong.
Can someone reply?
Thanks
Mahesh
BTW - ignore my signature....i am unable to edit them - dont know why - there is no option to edit signature!

You should flash rom's specific to your phones hardware/model number. It seems to me *most* of the hardware is the same between the i747 and t999 from what i've read but always best to err on the side of caution.

by doing that, in my case, would my ROM be optimized for AT&T??

Most likely, but tread with caution. The only issue you might encounter are APN settings that you could always edit manually. From what I understand, the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 is almost identical to the AT&T one, and in certain cases, some people have been able to run T-Mobile roms on the AT&T one.

The only thing that is carrier specific as far as custom ROM's are concerned is the ability to connect to the network in question, its the hardware the ROM is designed for that is important, minus any carrier bloat apps that may be included in a ROM (non issue if using an AOSP based ROM). Flashing software to an unintended device will most likely be bad news. As drx said worst case you would have to manually enter the apn settings. If i recall the only real difference in the TMo and ATT S3's is the fact that the T999 can connect to the 1700mhz band and the i737 can't (natively).
Hey guys,
There are absolutely no posts on G3 AT&T android development, and I am an extremely impatient person. I grabbed the bump'd unlock the day of its release and I was wondering if it was possible to flash a D851 AOSP rom on the D850 :fingers-crossed: . What would happen? Would it run or are we talking about an immediate soft/hard brick? I figured both the D851 and D850 are super similar, having the same hardware and being GSM... however, the slight differences in radios and what not might be an issue. What do you guys think?

Please re-read the thread for Bump. In order for you to flash a ROM it will have to be Bump'd for your device. @thecubed and @Shelnutt2 (perhaps others) are currently working on finalizing the Bump process so that ROMs can be Bump'd. Just hang in there-these guys work fast, but they also work methodically to prevent issues.
thanks for the piece of mind. I figured the devs just didnt want to release a sloppy product. I cant wait for cyanogenmod for my att lg g3. Im knew here so id like to show my support with a pledge of $20 to a dev working on my model phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Anyone confirm that you can unlock the ATT variant and flash it to be fully functional on all Tmobile bands?
Going to pick one up but need to be sure it will work. Thanks!!!
Consider it confirmed...plenty have done it including me. You may not be able to change the kernel, but there are custom touchwiz roms you can use. Just read read and read some more before making any changes.
Sent from my i747 on T-Mobile that's getting awesome LTE speeds.

if you ever updated to kit kat or newer basebands+modems, you are out of luck with Loki or installing ANY aesop custom roms or Cyanogenmod. They have towelroot but that's enough for some people, but you are stuck with laggy Touchwiz. It's worth paying extra for the Tmobile version
Hey Guys,
Hope you guys and gals are doing well. I wanted to know if there is rom for LG G2 (LS980) the latest build without the sprint bloatware? The current rom installed is "ZVD" but the knock code doesn't work and the software update option is missing. I got this from a friend and I am guessing he didn't flash it properly.
so I want to know the following things:
1. Can someone or has someone worked on the ZVE rom and removed the Sprint bloatware, If yes can someone please share it?
2. Is it possible to flash a D802 rom over LS980? I know noob question but still
3. I am not in USA so if I flash the rom to ZVC will I have carrier restriction? and would I be able to update it OTA to ZVD ? even if I am not in USA?
and lastly
4. Could you guys recommend a good rom which is less bloated with custom stuff and nearer to the stock international version of the phone providing the G2 experience as it should be?
Thanks.
Try cloudyfa's ROM. It will keep you with everything you need. Do not flash a d802 ROM. You will destroy your device. You can unlock it to work. Cloudyfa's ROM will allow you to use it international as you are.
...or you can just root with StumpRoot, install Titanium Backup and debloat (frost/defrost) yourself. I've always been of the opinion that the best ROM is always a stock rooted ROM. That's just my opinion/experience, no offense to any of the custom ROMs out there.
My G2 LS980 is on ZVE, i rooted with StumpRoot and froze what i considered unnecessary with Titanium Backup. Works for me just fine.
Nice to see you still around lord lugard.
Always be careful so as to not stop something that might be necessary as you can break yourself.
So very true.
