Whats the difference between these devices? Is it the radios?
I would like to look into building my own custom rom for the A520W.
I would also like to know.

I own the A520W and from what I understand its the Canadian variant. The radios do have a different name as well. I'm no expert on LTE bands so I don't know the exact difference.

Is it possible? Sure... Should you? Not unless you want a brick for a phone
Agreed ....+100
DO NOT FLASH INTERNATIONAL ROMS TO THIS DEVICE ....g
Thanks for the tip.

Fair enough...but perhaps I should clarify my response a bit more...
Scott's roms are ports to our devices. .....and he has pulled the bases to create a compatible build from international source.
Making these ported roms "Safe" to use...but in raw form...they are flash bricks for us...
The OP got the generalized answer of "NO" because of the risk in flashing the unchanged international variant builds...which mean an instant brick on the I317/I317M....
Since we don't know to what extent the OP interprets the meaning "international" He/She could take a yes answer and flash a brick by using an untouched build from anywhere on the internet....
It happens all the time, and is the reason for my Caps locked NO.....It then falls to the user to read and understand the meanings, and the differences between international, and international ported rom.......g

The key word here being "based"

The basics of successful flashing. ..g
Can roms, specifically from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1960 be installed on the T-Mobile GN2? If so, are there any modem / radio issues with the latest TMo radio or is there a better N7105 radio that should be used / recommended?
For the most part yes. I'd stick with roms from AT&T version however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1875
If you see a ROM on AT&T version, and also see it on the t0lte (international LTE), then I'd presume it be safe to install the international lte version.
Personally I've only tested PAC and Rootbox. Anything else on t0lte that you try is all on your own
But generally speaking, as long as the t0lte rom you installed does not include the modem, it's good to go. Just don't go flashing the GT-N7100 ones; only GT-N7105 if you don't want the AT&T roms.
t0lteatt YES
t0lte MAYBE
For kernel, most people would recommend NEAK and you can find that in the GT-N7100 forum.

Thanks, that is what I assumed. I actually have installed the Carbon t0lte rom before (late night, wasn't paying attention) without issue and worked fine, never have installed a t0lteatt rom.
With that said, there seemed to be more dev options on the international variant so I was curious. I saw conflicting answers in a search so figured I'd ask again. If I do take the plunge, I'll report back with the end result.
Forgot to add, I would stay away from the international GT-N7100 touchwiz based roms though as some people say the kernels they use may have issues with US variants.

Agreed. There are hardware differences on the N7100 compared to the N7105 I have read about.
Only plan on using 7105 variants moving forward.
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.
I have root and am well aware that Samsung/AT&T have left their Note 8 model out to dry in terms of an official update. Are there any custom ROMs available? I quickly looked into installing TWRP or CWM recoveries, but came up with nothing. CM11 only lists the 51xx models as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Look in the Developers thread. There is now a great 4.4.2 ROM for the i467M, which is the Canadian version, with a good custom kernel. Everything works, wifi, LTE etc.
However, if you have the AT&T version, I think your problem is not the ROM, it's the locked bootloader.

Yea, good call. Does look like it's the bootloader that's the problem. Ah well, thanks anyways.
So I was running 4.4.4 (I forget who's build) and I just did a search on marshmallow and I saw a CM 13 so I flashed it without reading. I know, stupid noob. Anyways, my phone now says it is a GT-N7105 on android 6.0.1.
I do not like it. Before I try, I was curious if anyone knows if flashing it back is possible.
Thanks
N7100 or N7105?
i317, N7105, T889 are universal and every lollipop(?)+ROM will be branded as N7105 to my knowledge since there's no reason to maintain three different sources

I don't think there's no practical reason to not like that "cosmetic" change, but can understand the feeling. If you really can't stand it so much, you can get a build prop editor and change the model name yourself. I don't think there's any app relying on that info nowadays.
On the other hand, I kind a wonder if those three models are exact same ("universal") down to PIT level. Not that it matters unless you want to increase the size of userdata or something.
Boot into download mode to confirm the phone's model #. Once you have the model #, find the latest firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.
