After flashing the Verizon model GS8 with a Sprint GS8 ROM, will it work on the Sprint network?
Edit: I'm guessing not since Sprint probably won't allow the Verizon GS8 IMEI to be added to their database.

No, Sprint won't add a Verizon Samsung device to its DMD and you can't do a simple SIM swap on Sprint.

Hello, My friend bought 2 galaxy s3's. I bought one of him. It's AT&T branded, I know I'll need a simunlock. But what prepaid service is compatible with this? Should I just stick with AT&T? I was hoping to go with Straight Talk, Boost, Virgin Mobile.. Either one of these.
Thanks!
I believe boost and virgin are cdma. I know straight talk for sure is a gsm carrier and will work on the i747 variant.

Ah that's right, Boost and Virgin are indeed CDMA. I guess I'll have to google the straight talk
straight talk, ATT GoPhone Prepaid Plan and T-Mobile monthly 4G to name a few.
Unfortunately prepaid plans do not currently offer LTE support so that will be a feature you'll miss out on.
xbeerdroiDx is also correct, virgin and boost are both incompatible because they are CDMA. The ATT version is a GSM device.

Okay, Thanks!
Is this possible? I currently have the AT&T version, and since it has an LTE radio, could I use that with Verizon? If not can I use the Sprint version on Verizon?
Carrier unlocking is currently illegal unless you have permission from your carrier. That aside, Verizion is CDMA so it wouldn't work.
No as it has the wrong bands for lte besides what the post above said!

I don't even think you could use the Sprint version in Verizon, at least not on lte. As far as I know, Verizon phones use some cards to connect to lte. Sprint phones do not.

Sprint actually requires a UICC(sim card) for LTE... ours is just embedded into the device so you can't remove or swap them(easily).
But you are correct that Sprint LTE devices would not work on Verizon if you wanted LTE.
Talk/Text/EVDO is cross-compatible on all cdma phones/networks as long as the manual programming is done properly.
I'd like to remind Lokifish Marz that only devices purchased on or after Jan 26 2013 are held to this... and many of us purchased the Optimus G prior to this date. Also the CDMA unlock rules are even more grey than the GSM rules. Manually setting a data profile via ##DATA# to another data profile from another CDMA carrier has nothing to do with any "sim-unlock" or any secret methods to disable firmware security.
Can an unlocked ATT GS3 be flashed to work on pageplus? I'm guessing not but just want to be sure. Thanks.
The AT&T GS3 is GSM, same with the T-Mobile variant. PagePlus is CDMA and W-CDMA.
So your answer is no. Flashing an AT&T S3 onto PagePlus is not possible.

Using a samsung galaxy s3 i sch535 cellphone purchased from verizon and rooted and currently using cyanogenmod would I or should I flash from the verizon cyaogenmod to the the t-mobile cyaogenmod if I am switching from verizon wireless to metropcs. Metropcs uses t-mobiles network from what I understand which is why I ask. Thank you

Thread moved to proper forum.
Can buy Sprint Note 7 and then use it on Verizon? Any way to work around?
I know we can flash firmware since it is Universal. But I'm not sure if we can flash baseband and unlock more lte bands or stuff?
Thank you
You can but I think you just need sprint to give you a certain code to make it work. I'd call sprint to find out for sure though.
