Hello all. I asked around but couldn't get a concrete answer if I could flash the GB Rom for Sprint onto my VZW Tab. Well I thought why wouldn't it run.....so I tried it. It works beautifully, now I have GB on my VZW Tab. I should also mention that I am not a data subscriber and that I only use my Tab on WiFi, so there was no issue with the data subscription. Follow this link if you want to try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
Good Luck!
Edit: I also notice that I am still on the Verizon baseband of DL21. So I don't know how this all worked....but it does.
Glad someone tried it and posted back to answered all the questions.

Nice. Glad to see that. Should mean fhat ROMs are more or less interchangeable

+1 Works Flawlessly. I am also on the VZW baseband of DL21, but as the OP Ionly use wifi so I don't care.
Amusingly it did complain that I was Roaming and may get speedhumped by zombies because of it.
Steps I took are as follows:
Flashed back to stock according to steps and files in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
After that finished I then followed the instructions for Sprint users to flash the rooted updated from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
I followed the above steps verbatim in succession and it flashed without issue.
The only thing I did that wasn't listed was to pull my sd card and delete all the files on it before I began. (I didn't format just deleted all files) and I don't even think that was neccessary, I did it as a just in case thing.
Hope this helps some people wit VZW tabs looking to get some Netflixy goodness going (the main reason I attempted this)
Now I just need someone with a data plan to post their experience with doing this so I can try

No data here on a VZW tab with that rom installed. Tries to connect but doesn't work. I am running the DJ11 modem. Any other modems I can flash to test? I don't see any vzw modems in the modem sticky.
Also, since this is stock, be aware it's not stock GB but stock sprint GB update. Full of touchwiz and bloatware.
Edit: Tried Verizon Tab Bootstrapper and tab would load up sprint bootani without sound then go to a black screen. No reason to try at the moment, but thought I would test it for you all.
my VZW tab now with Sprint EF17 baseband and 2.3.4 ROM too,it works great,and fixed the gps which didn't work at first.

Keep in mind that it may be saying that because, as far as the Sprint rom is concerned, you may be "roaming" on VZ bands. Who knows though.
Is that sprint gb rom rootable, if verzion releases gb within our life time will I be able to return to their rom?

I tried root, cwm, triangle and custom rom for N7100 on my N7105. All works except for custom N7100 rom. Custom rom from N7100 if installed onto an N7105 will mess with the modem (no phone, message, data transfers but wifi still works). But flashing back N7105 modem unto a N7100 custom rom installed on an N7105 does not bring back use of modem. You need to flash a N7105 stock rom from your country to bring back the use of modem. So that kinda bring us back to square one...
The similiarities are surprisingly many. All functions are intact except for modem. All we need to do is to figure out what modules in a N7105 stock rom needs to be transplanted unto a N7105 installed with a N7100 to make the modem come back.
At first, I created a nandriod backup straight away after root. After creating the nandriod backup, I proceeded to flash a N7100 rom unto a N7105. Modems gone. After that I flashed back the nandriod backup, but modem does not come on. As nandriod backup does not backup the modem, I thought that if I simply flashed the modem extracted from stock N7105 rom onto my N7105 installed with N7100 custom rom I will regain the use of my modem. I was wrong. Modem functionality still remained elusive.
The similiarities between N7100 and N7105 are surprisingly many. All functions are intact except for modem if u flashed N7100 rom unto N7105. All we need to do is to figure out what modules in a N7105 stock rom needs to be transplanted unto a N7105 installed with a N7100 rom to make the modem come back.
The aim of this thread is to port modem capabilities onto an N7105 so that we can do this for all roms in XDA, assuming that developers did not mess with N7100 modems. We will effectively take a N7100 custom rom and flash it on an N7105 with a few steps added to regain modem functionality. This way is much better than a segregated support for both Galaxy Note 2 types. Either this or developers can create roms with dual support for N7105 and N7100. But my way is a more proactive approach on the part of users.

Likely that ROM flashed a modem with the ROM. Was it ARHD by chance? I know they flash a modem on install which I never understood and, IMO, makes no sense.

Yes modems were flashed. I try to be as non invasive as possible to developers. I understood from my time is XDA developers that if you seriously want something, DIY. Haha.

That's what general or q&a is for lol flash your modem for your device and that should fix it. Maybe post a suggestion in that ROM thread to remove the modem flash. Again, its quite unnecessary. Coming from developing on HTC stuff, we couldn't even flash the radio stuff from recovery. Even if we could, we wouldnt too much that could go wrong if you get a bad flash or a corrupted zip.

Don't panic though.
I downloaded a stock N7105XXALIJ rom and flash it using PC odin.
Everything is back to normal. 3G, 4G, LTE, sms, mms, data all working.

No flashing N7100 was a deliberate endeavour for me. I wanted to see what screws up after flashing. The aim of this thread is to see what can us normal users do to regain modem control in an N7100 rom.
After some though I realised that it is not very feasible. As some files needs to be altered as they contain N7100 only information like build.prop. We might just need to wait for a knight in shining armour to create a N7105 rom for us....

What would probably make more sense is one of two things... 1) a "flash pack" that allows you to flash an n7100 Rom, then you flash the flash pack to put back device specific files or 2) ROM devs can build an updater-script that identifies your device and basically does that for you. So it would flash all the files that are the same, determine your device, flash device specific files. I wouldn't mind helping build you guys a flash pack, I just need to look into what files are different.

Bleh. Well, I'm heading back to school now, gonna take me about 3 hours. If someone has fast internet, would be nice if they could download a stock N7100 tar and a stock N7105 tar and host them on dev-host, androidfilehost, or goo.im. Some place where I can actually download the damn thing. Would make things easier for me to look at when I get to school, instead of 2+ hr download times on a file I should be able to pull down in 3-5 mins.
It's still downloading... I'm going to have to look at this after class tomorrow. Will keep you guys informed

Doesn't matter they may be foreign or crap here and there my point is doing the phone justice giving it room in the dev community the development is not about or for the carrier for metro its for the gs3 which this is the same phone same specs etc....just split the s3 thread for this like its already split in 4-5 other areas per carrier

Like to add the s3 on sprint is like putting a diamond ring on a pig atleast metro has 4g decent too and unlimited

Why don't you start dev? If they see more and more people using it and more dev they may be more inclined. I believe forums are created on a popularity basis.
You could try porting a VZW or other GS3 recovery to your device. It's actually very easy and no development skills required. Heck, I was able to get a GS3 cwm ported to my Galaxy Tab 2 by just extracting my tab's zImage, splitting gs3 cwm, replacing the gs3 zImage with my zImage, and repacking. Flashed and booted right up. Since the hardware is generally teh same, the only thing you *should* have to do is inject your kernel.
You could probably easily get cm10 or aosp to port also.
Help me do this
I'm still bit confused if u read my other posts under xda android dev and hacks I posted what I want to attempt
I figures vzw gs3 Rom would be best shot since metro and vzw are both cdma both devices are same specs hardware
I wanted to dload a stock vzw gs3 4.0.4 Rom remove its kernel and modem/radio and dump metros stock kernel and modem into it and attempt to flash
but I know nothing about doing this either all from my device itself or from a Pc I am rooted I do have twrp recovery and root explorer but root explorer only allows you to tamper with the actual installed Rom your running how would I hack the downloaded vzw gs3 Rom of choice without getting fancy and using android workshop tools

Yes for CM 10 flash jelly bean gapps zip here is the link for that . As a general rule only flash ICS gapps with CM 9, gingerbread gapps with CM 7, jelly bean gapps with CM 10, etc. As far as the fixapn zip, only flash that if you are having network and data problems, or your not able to make or receive SMS/MMS. Hope this helps .
I can get the SGS III running on metro, given that an S3 was donated. It's not too difficult if you reprogram phones daily, and that's what I do. Because of this, I don't have any competition from a business point of view. I'd provide the service to myself for getting it working. Right off the bat I can get:
Talk, Text, MMS, and 1x Internet Working with little to no effort. 3G varies on location, but I can take a crack at it too. If this bounty is serious, just donate me an S3, I'll do the legwork, and I will not be accepting any form of donations, other than the donated S3, I'm good with that.
Cheers.
Edit: If someone is serious about this bounty, and willing to donate, you need to make sure you donate a GS3 using CDMA, (No Sim Card) Not GSM. It can be with a BAD esn so you won't pay an arm and a leg for donation.
Verizon and Sprint GSIII use CDMA, I believe the international version is CDMA & GSM.
Double Edit: I can cook up a few roms as well, MIUI, AOKP, and Custom Stock Rom.

It's not a scam, its an offer to something I know I can do. Did you see the programming guide topic I made? Every other phone followed it and copy-pasted my tut. Bounties offer amounts higher than an SGS 3 is worth. I'm not asking for a new SGS3 with custom design and preference in size, I'm only specifying the carriers that share the same cdma technology as metro, I even specified to get a bad esn one as that's used and not able to be activated with the main carriers. If the bounty is as serious as I am, I can do it, given that the bounty is real. I'm not accepting bounties, just a used sgs3 for me to work on, I'm going to pay for my own metro services in order to program and test the phone and build some roms together for it. If anything, this would be costing me, not anyone else. I enjoy doing what I do, and I have the tools to work with. As for the "scoring a free sgs3" I'm accepting that as payment for my time invested into this fun project. I do have a job outside of XDA, and getting my clients work done and doing this on my time off deserves at least some sort of recompense. I'm not asking for much. I'm offering a service and asking for something in return to start with. If I wanted an SGS3, i'd buy it myself, but I don't need it, I'm fine with my Epic 4G running CM10. This is an offer, not a demand. I'm sorry you "smelled" a scam, by no means are you being held at gunpoint in demand for my time. Nothing is free, and even then, I like to help for little or close to nothing. If this bounty isn't serious, I suggest a mod close this thread. But the talent is out there.

So I'm brand new to rooting and i just rooted my sprint galaxy s4 SPH-L720 yesterday. I've been trying to get a rom but every rom leads to a bootloop. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I made a backup of my stock so i can always go back to that but I would like to know what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried:
WanamLite ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9500: .........Bootloop
Pac Man Rom..................................................Bootloop
omega.............................................................Bootloop
Foxhound.........................................................Just went to stock
What am i doing wrong?
Can i use roms for i9505 on i9500?
How do i know a rom works on my phone before i download it?
if you respond please make you answers are simple as possible since i am new
Thank you very much for any help!!!!!!

None of those ROMs have a Sprint kernel built in them, so even if you were able to get them to boot, which you obviously didn't, you would most likely have non-working data (3G & 4G), WiFi, etc.
Stick with the ROMs that are in the dev sections of the Sprint GS4 variant and you'll be fine. There are others that have claimed to be able to get non-Sprint variant ROMs to work, but YMMV.
Good luck!
It happen to me as well. But i just make sure i force a delete Data and it got off it.
I was in rooted stock.
I flash an incomplete Team Sonic rom.
Dawn download...
I try to restore it wont boot, i flash the Cf root with odin that got me on a loop, i then did a force data delete and done.
Not the same in the way but might help.
So freak out, no rom no back up
Hahaha

If you're trying to flash i9505 onto i9500
That's the first problem, different chip sets wherein probably lies the issue. Flash what is built for Qualcomm on Qualcomm based phones, Same goes for Exynos, don't try to mix and match.
You should run SPRINT ROMs to.start off. Its possible to run Verizon ROMs with working 3G with some small edits.

Go to the sprint galaxy s4 forum, it's definitely your problem. Try any rom, they are all good, and once you are comfortable with the rom, try a custom kernel for your rom. And read the thread about the rom you're flashing, lot of times there's good tips and options you otherwise wouldn't know about...

wow you really are BRAND new to posting see you got one post, well Welcome to the community. Now to your dilemma all those roms you tried to flash are not mad for our phones so you were in the wrong forum when you downloaded those roms. Now you can use those roms as long as you flash a SPRINT kernel after flashing one of those roms. Now your not guaranteed to get data working it's been hit or miss for many. Try flashing one of the roms from our Dev section, you'll be happy

He can only flash I9505 roms I9500 roms could brick his phone because it is ment for the international exynos version. I9505 roms are fine if you flash a sprint kernel after flashing the rom because they have the same hardware other than the cellular radios are different. (Depending on the rom data or voice or both might not work) I would not recommend flashing and roms not intended for the SPH L720 because I havent been able to get data on any of thoose roms. Hope this helps.

Is there a GS5 ROM for the Sprint GS4?
I've been looking around and all the other variants have some kind of GS5 ROM.
and if not is there a theme that I can flash to make my GS4 Look more like a GS5?

You can use sacs v4 ROM with s5 settings. It includes s5 icons and the s5 launcher plus s5 MMS.

None of Sac's roms V3 or V4 work on Sprint SPH-L720, tested by me. I was able to installed Version 3 and boot to it but Wi-Fi radio On/Off function does not work, Screen Mirroing does not work NFC does not work...useless. after all credit to Sac23 for his dedication and hard work to the community. hope next version is better and fixes all the bugs.

Could also be user error really. Did you make sure you are at the latest firmware? Follow step by step on how to install? Also recovery plays a big role now so yeah.

Yes, I have TWRP 2.7.1 installed, My phone is rooted using Towelroot. I have installed many rooms just to try, (this is my spare test phone) I was happy with results look and feel of only two (PhoeniX.ROM.V9.XXUGNF1.I9505.FIXED.by.tamirda) and (i9505 - S5 RivalStorm V2.1) but both only allow Radio/Modem for CDMA and are both international.
RivalStorm V2.1 seems to be the best room out of 5 or 6 I have tried, this room has every feature working and has the look and feel of the S5, that being said I will try your recommendation anyways and will post back my results, I did tried it before but I could not get it installed using TWRP, maybe I should use CWM instead.
But honestly I would be very happy to see RivalStorm V2.1 rom being domestic (US Carier...Any)

Sacs V4 works flawless on my L720. Do you have the 720T? Are you on the NAE build? if not, it is highly recommended you flash that version then follow the OP to the T.
