Thinking about buying a sprint lg g8 that's gsm unlocked. If I do so will I still get updates when they are issued through Sprint?

Will there be any issue using a T-Mobile SIM on my ATT Maguro (purchased directly from Google)? Will there be any limitations speec/radio wise, assuming that there is T-Mobile coverage whereever?
1) its not a ATT branded galaxy nexus.
2) pentaband phone so yes it will work.
There never was such a thing as an AT&T nexus

Hey all,
I just picked up an unlocked HTC 10 to upgrade from my Nexus 5. Completely loving the phone and wanting to get one for my brother as a gift. That said, I've seen the Sprint version on sale locally through Craigslist for cheap. Does anyone know if the Spring version will work on T-Mobile?

It will not, sprint has a weird baseband thing where only sprint phones work with sprint and no other carrier. Sorry!
I don't mean to necro this thread too much but I was wondering if having S-Off would overcome this or is it a hardware thing?

Sprint hardware code is WHL when unlocked model is WL..
See below how the LTE band support varies between them..
PERFUME#WL1/2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/20/28/29/30
PERFUME#WHL2/4/5/7/12/13/25/26/41(認証情報より)

Long delayed replied but 100% false information.
Where do these people get their information, this is supposed to be XDA

Yes it will. I actually tried this. There is a guide to unlock the sim on the sprint subforum. I followed that guide, popped in a sprint sim and changed the radio mode and It worked
Is it likely at all that anyone will come up with a way to get around the locked bootloader for this phone?

For verizion? Probably none. Though I thought I found a thread on rooting a verizon S7/S7 edge on here, so who knows. makes me hopeful.

I'm also Sprint. Maybe you're jumping straight to Nougat. I am in San Antonio area and always get slow updates. Indicated 09/01 security and bug fixes. I miss my Nexus 5....

Is it sprint or LG? Seems like LG is kind of strict for rooting their phones. Sucks..
Not sure...sucks that the european version got an official unlock

Anyone got words if we stop trying for root? I might as well sell it now
