I have T-Mobile service. I had hoped to be able to flash a recovery and then a T-Mobile ROM but so far it looks like this isn't possible. Or is it?
Nope. I don't think it will work.
Sprint is cdma and tmobile is gsm.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Sprint's Galaxy S4 has T-Mobile's HSPA+ GSM bands so technically it COULD work, only problem is the sim slot is locked to international providers only so until someone finds away to unlock it, no go.

I bought a sprint s4, and have att service which I prefer.. I also have boost service which is what I'm using on it now, until I sort out the blocked domestic gsm carriers issue..
Why buy sprint s4 when I want it on att? Right deal right time..

Well, each to his/her own, seems like it would be easier just to buy a model that can be used. That's just my opinion though.

Three major problems with this scheme:
1. Domestic GSM lock. Who known when or if this will ever be worked around.
2. Lack of LTE support for TMO (or AT&T) LTE.
3. Lack of support for AWS HSPA while TMO's HSPA 1900 deployment is still poor in many areas.

Is it possible to flash the sprint nexus 4g to Verizon? If so, how?
Thanks
The short and simple answer is no. If you want the long detailed version look around xda as this gets asked a lot in other cdma phone sections...
Sent on the go from my android device using Tapatalk
Oh ok thanks. I figured it could be possible since the verizon iPhone was able to flash to sprint. I guess the nexus is different or something.
i would imagine using tools there available online you could in theory get it going on verizon and maybe even get 3g but 4g wouldnt work for sure

I was hoping to do the same thing. Technically it seems like the Sprint ones should be possible.

I dont think you understand what the OP is trying to do. He doesn't want to roam on Verizon, he wants to get a Verizon plan and activate his phone on Verizon. That requires falsifying your IMEI and no you cant do that with an app from the market.

Question. Can i unlock the att version and use it overseas?
By the time 4g is in enough places for me to even care about it, my Note will be either dead & gone, or being used by my (now) 11 year-old daughter

Its not a cdma phone. Wcdma is NOT the same as cdma. Its a different technology. And even if it were, it ISN'T, Verizon won't activate non Verizon phones on their network. Way to spend some good money on something without knowing how it works....

Its not a troll, I'm not so smart in this type of technology. In my mind it was very simple WCDMA is Docomo, which goes way ahead of regular CDMA, and Qualcomm made an support from WCDMA to CDMA2000, thats why I cant understand why Verizon CDMA don't want to support it.

You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)

I wish I could help out with the dump, but I've never done one myself.

Just check the sim card. A USIM means the Sim card does the LTE authentication while the device does the CDMA authentication. A CSIM means that both LTE and CDMA Authentication comes from the sim card and you can hot swap devices by using the sim card just like the Iphone 5s/5c which uses CSIM.

Is the look of the USIM vs. CSIM card different? How can you tell if a sim card is a USIM or CSIM?

When i take the sim out it says 4g is no longer avaliable... but 3g, data, calls, and sms, all work fine with the sim card out.... if that helps?

USIM .. like most current Sprint devices. So most of the provisioning is still done in the EFS.. unlike the 5s which relies entirely on the sim card.
Any idea why the launch date is still a month away?

No clue.... i was told because we are getting the exclusive triband for our sprint network vision.

phone seems finished. the firmware has been out for over a month. perhaps theyre waiting for the LTE-A network to build out a bit more before launch? idk :/

Sounds like marketing speak to me, not really a legit reason.
More likely they are having tri-band hand off issues.

Sounds like maybe LTE 2600 (B41) hand off issues between the different LTE bands that is causing the delay. What does this phone being an exclusive triband have to do with it? Obviously the demo units are already available so the phone must be done. I doubt it is due to production issues since LG shouldn't need to make as many phones at launch like Verizon or ATT do. Doesn't sound like it makes any sense to me. Oct 25th would have already been pushing it.

That seems to be my guess that Sprint is waiting on the LTE 2600 network to be built out a bit more before launch. But it also could be that Sprint can be having LTE 2600 TD-LTE to LTE 1900 FDD LTE hand off issues that is causing the delay.
