[Q] What roms to flash on Canadian Videotron G2 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've got the videotron variant. Now it says it's the d801, but when I had trouble rooting it, a great guy (autoprime) on IRC pointed out that it was mislabeled and actually needed the d803 method, the traditional Canadian variant. Now I'm rooted, got my twrp, but I'm not sure whether I should flash d801 roms or d803 roms. Any tips would be very helpful and appreciated
Thanks!

I can't give you exact advice on this. But I have the D803 (Bell, in QC as well) and From what I understand, it should be all 803. If you started out with rooting and using a recovery for D803, I would stick with that option.
Sorry I can't give you more solid advice but I'm sure you have an 803 that is mislabeled

I appreciates your input! Yeah it's pretty much what I figured... I shouldn't have any problem, the working LTE pretty much proves it's the same hardware. Anyway that's what nandroids are for.

Why can't you guys move Canadian i337m out of att forum

Why can't you guys move Canadian i337m out of att forum . I think there are enough if not more i337m outhere then att to make own forum

I do agree seeing as AT&T has a locked bootloader. Most S4's should fall under the 9505 model. AT&T roms will work... just need to flash an international/tmobile kernel

Wrong. Everyone one I asked like task650 and others with att Roms say no don't use it. Every other guys with TM or 9505 say yes I can use there's. So its kinda conflicting info in the whole att forum. I know exactly what your trying to say.
Is just those att and other locked boot loader should have been in one forum on there own. Not that any body flashes stock att Roms and trips the efuse because they maybe thought its cool to use Verizon or att rom.

Wrong I ran them and tested them working in my guide...oh well ....you are talking about a i337m right? I had people with that device..and they had them working. Deal is...if you want to run a certain rom bad enough...as I did...you will get them to run. The only ones that dont work would be i9500....you are listening to doubters sir...try it yourself...
Now they have closed our i337m forum for official firmware! They are definitely different from i337

I am a Canadian, and I have run international, Tmobile and att roms on my device. In fact my daily driver is att. The loki part only concerns the kernel, do some reading, like I did and you will figure out how to get a lokified rom to flash, then flash a TMO or 9505 rom kernel and BAM! You are golden.

You are correct sir, these roms will work on a i337m device.
I use an i337m. It was a bit confusing at first differentiating the ATT/CAN roms, but as long as the DEVs document their posts properly, shouldn't be an ongoing issue.
the reason we cant run tasks rom is because it is auto loki'd. There are ways around that if course..his tmo rom can also be made to work with the i337m as well.
Ive run lots of international rom and at&t based roms....running international right now...no biggie

Rogers D803 question

I'm considering getting the G2 from Rogers this weekend. Can I use custom roms for D802 on the Rogers D803 version? I am especially interested in Cyanogen Mod which I have been running on all my Android devices for a while. Thanks.
There are a few for the d803. .....I have also read that you can use any att roms As lling as you remove boot.img....check the dev section. They are either listed as multi carrier roms or say d803 in the description

Thank you. Does the boot.img contain the Kernel? In that case does it mean I would be stuck with whatever the default kernel is shipped wtih the phone?

I dont have the phone right now with me, but what I saw is D801 or something.
Hello @Prufta
In case you still havent found out on your own by now, our models are basically a d803.
This means that we need to use stuff from the d803 and not d801 like the device info says.
Here's a reference thread for all d803 and Claro g2 users thanks to omegajester

Have you checked to see if the device is compatible with on cm website because I could only find model d800, d801 and d802. Also you need to be s-off for some roms if need but usually rooted will be fine

Glad I found this post, I too am curious. I wonder if it will be like when I had the canadian s3 and could just flash the AT&T rooms just fine. Gonna hold of rooting the s5 until this is cleared up

Yeah, thats what I meant. Gonna wait in general until the rom variants are sorted, who knows maybe there will even be a way to root without trip.
Hey guys. I got a notification about a software update for my Rogers G900W8.
Was wondering if I should apply this update and would it affect root?
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I made a post about this the next day the S5 was lunch. Rooting wasn't an issue for me as for flashing ROMS, some are compatible here, just need to ask them first. I'm wondering if we'll get our forum as well.

I would think most roms would work, I'm just wondering about our modem and baseband. Is it just a matter of flashing our modems to ensure lte function.

Meh, I didn't think about that =/. I guess you get no signals if modem/baseball aren't compatible. Is there a link to get our modem/baseband?
On the Note 3 N900w8 users got lucky, they could downgrade to JellyBean and back to Kitkat without issues, could root (on JB) without tripping KNOX and can pretty much flash ANY international ROM on their device (in this case the N9005 ROMs, N900T ROMs etc) -- IT is possible, now I use this term very very loosely that you *may* be able to flash a whole lot more than w8 only ROMs.
