Hi,
I am a newbie here, can anyone clarify my doubts.
I am planning to get a carrier locked phone (AT& T or Verizon) from US and want to install a custom rom on that. What are my options.
1. Can i unlock the phone and then install any custom roms directly. Will that work?
2. After the carrier unlock, can i install country specific roms like India Galaxy s9 ROM.

Hi XDA,
I am currently on a T-mobile contract, but I will move to a different country for business purposes.
I know how to do the device unlock (thanks to youtube), but I was just thinking of different issues that
might come across when using different GSM network.
my device is rooted, running custom rom with T-mobile radio.
my questions are:
1. even if i unlock my device, shouldnt i flash a different rom that is compatible to other networks? (different radio too?)
2. could i use the roms and radios that are used in international version?
if the process is more complicated than I am thinking, could someone light me up?
Thanks in advance.

Never flash anything from an international model as you will brick your device.
Hi. I'm just wondering if I can find my existing modem on the PC and replace the modem in a custom ROM with my existing one? If so is there a tutorial or could someone please make one. I don't even know where to find the modem or what it's called. Thank you ☺
Anyone? How do I know the custom ROM will support my countries bands?
There's no need to do whatever you're trying to do.
All gsm custom ROM should work fine in your country.
I used to have Telstra & Optus when I was in your country.
Most important is, your firmware is the latest Marshmallow or at least Lollipop to use custom ROM.
Your firmware carries the radio and carrier specific band, not the custom ROM.
So, I purchased a tmobile branded s9 from samsung directly. I did this because I wasn't sure that the unlocked version would support all the tmobile bands etc. The main reason I want to switch to the unlocked is for smart call, when I used name ID on tmobile it was really nice to see caller ID from landlines etc. Is there anything that I would be missing by going to the unlocked firmware? Also, how are unlocked devices as far as firmware updates ?
Where can I find a guide to flash the tmobile version to the unlocked version ?

Hi. Sorry for my english, is not my native language. I recently brought a Noye 10+ model SM-N975UZKAXAA and I want to unlock the bootloader. I read that the bootloader can be unlocked in N975U using SamPWNd here:
Custom ROMS for N975U
I've recently unlocked my bootloader on my N975U using SamPWNd and was hopeful that with these devices now being able to have the bootloader unlocked that we would see some custom ROMs ported over. I've been either unable to find any or I have...

But I don't know how to do it or if the model it's the samw I have for the UZKAXAA extra stuff in the model and I don't want to brick it. Can someone provide me with more info please? Thank you in advance.
