Hey guys so ive been scavenging through the forums but couldnt find the information.
Is there anyway i can get a t-mobile rom onto my rooted verizon galaxy s4 running 5.0.1 OC1.
The reason for this is the incapable sms sending and weak lte signals. Ive heard running a t-mobile rom will help me with this. Thanks guys

Newbie ?: 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 and I know that I will have to get a new S3 that works on their 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
No

I don't think you can just flash a sprint ROM on T-Mobile, I mean all the GS3's almost identical, but
The radio is only the difference.

That's the official JB sprint ported to our T-Mobile GS3. And don't
forget to thank him for his hard work
Hello,
I have the ability to purchase a T-Mobile Note 2 right now. The problem is my carrier is AT&T. I'm not interested in getting LTE to work only HSPA+, but will that even work? To do it, would I have to unlock it, how would I do that? Also once it is unlocked and working with AT&T, would I flash AT&T Note 2 ROMs or the T-Mobile Note 2?
Thanks,

Man, how many of these TMobile on ATT posts do there have to be? Search before posting!
Yes it works, I get 8Mbps down on good days, worst I have seen is 2 Mbps. You will have to unlock your phone, SEARCH for the free unlock. I've seen it posted here, in the N7100 forums and S3 forums. You should be able to find easily. For roms, stick with the TMobile roms on a TMobile phone.
If you don't have plans on going to TMobile or LTE, I would suggest the N7100 international version. More rom development, faster firmware leaks and releases. I also got better battery life out of my N7100. I kind of wish I would not have traded my N7100 for the TMobile Note2. The TMobile version is easier to hack if you want to put it on an ATT dumb phone plan.
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 everyone i could use some info regarding The Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710]
So im getting a new phone. i work at walmart and noticed that verizon released the galaxy s3 for prepaid.. I decided i wunt it but theres a problem i have to be able to use it as a Hotspot in order to do that i needa use pda net witch requires Root. I have looked and looked and looked and found out that the Prepaid Galaxy s3 [i535PP] can NOT be rooted, but the non Prepaid version of the galaxy s3 [i535] and the sprint version [L710] of the s3 CAN be rooted... so if i had a non prepaid version of the galaxy s3 i can root it and use it as a hotspot with pda net. i did some research and found that the sprint Galaxy S3 L710 can be flashed to verizon =) so i searched ebay for a sprint galaxy s3 flashed to verizon prepaid and i found 1 listing with a guy that has a Sprint L710 Galaxy S3 and i wunt to buy it and root it.... So here is my question
I researched Sprint Galaxy S3 and read alot about 4g not working... im not 100% sure if this is a issue with the phone itself or sprint the provider but If i buy this phone and its flashed to verizon prepaid will the phone be able to get 4g signal/service
Verizon recently released 4g on prepaid network and id like to use it with this phone.
bottom line is will a Sprint Galaxy S3 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid Be able to access 4g signal??
Thanks in Advance!!!
Nope no 4g service if the phone is flashed to Verizon prepaid. At least Verizon's LTE.
Now you can get 4g but from a sprint provider. Either ting or freedompop I believe. I use freedompop. You only get 500 mb of data but you can pay more if you need more.

No. Verizon's 4g operates on a completely different frequency then Sprint. You will be able to use 3G and 1xRTT and that's it.
aww man that sucks oh well... ok well then i have a different question. What if i were to buy a non prepaid i535 verizon verson, can it be flashed to verizon prepaid and if it can be then can it be rooted??? if so then ill have to research how to flash a i535 the reason i need verizon is because its the only service that works in my area and it bairley works at that..
OK, I have looked and looked at a bunch of threads in this section, and I am either missing something, or I'm just totally blind. I just bought 2 T-Mobile M919 phones, and one of them i am going to Use on T-Mobile, but the other one, on Metro-PCS. I understand that there is 2 different versions of this model, the M919, and The M919N (METROPCS) . I know how to unlock them. (I found those threads) I know how to put Cyanogen on either.. But what i cant seem to find is, How do i take the M919 and use a SIM card from Metro-PCS and make it work. I'm sure i have to use a different Firmware with a different modem. But i am really confused as to where i can find all of this info that i need. I just cant seem to find it. I know that Metro-PCS uses T-Mobile networks, but i am sure there is a different APN for both.... Can some one direct me to a thread or a link or 2 to find this info... Any and all is appreciated.
I also used XDA to (Successfully) use a Samsung SGH-I727 Galaxy S2 (AT&T) W/ Cyanogenmod 11.2 and a different radio on T-Mobile!!
Again any and all help is appreciated!!!
Since day one after I got my s4 from metro I rooted and flashed t-mobile roms and since that is all I use. My Sim card is metro but my apn is t-mobile us lte and never once did I manually change it my self or sim unlock my phone. Hope that helps your ?

Doesn't T-Mobile own Metro PCS?
To kill this thread, and my question, all i did was called metro-pcs and activated the phone, and switched the sim card and BAM... I had service. No rooting, flashing needed..... but of course, my nature, i did.... Cyanogen-Mod 12. 5.1 Lollipop..... And i love it!!!!! Thanks everyone for your quick responces, and input!!! ?
