Hey guys,
I unlocked my galaxy s4 from AT&T and now I use T-Mobile. I was wondering if I could use the t-mobile rom since I would like to use the tethering and wifi calls from it.
I don't really want any custom rom, just because I'm fine with the carrier ones.. so I searched somethings and I figured out that I could use the t-mobile rom with loki doki.
Can I just instal the stock firmare of t-mobile? (It would be the M919UVUEMK2)
By the way, right now I'm running the MF3 and idk why I don't receive the OTA update (never received, I suspect that's because I unlocked it)
I found some other posts but unfortunately it doesn't contain enough information.

Hello!
I am about to travel to Europe and I was wondering if I could do this and use a SIM card purchased at the airport. Is that possible with this model? I'm on AOSP but willing to go back stock/rooted if needed.
Thank you.
As far as we know there is no domestic or international unlock for the triband version. You can call sprint if you've had the phone for over 90days and ask them to unlock it.
good advice. spoke to Sprint and stated they have unlocked my phone.
now, would I need to revert to stock in order to properly use SIM cards after unlock? im running Carbon ATM but would flash a TouchWiz ROM if needed.
No there is no chance of unlocking it. not for today anyway. u need to contact sprint with working sprint simcard in the phone and beg them to unlock it for u.(possible they will not)
ok guys, like I mentioned before, Sprint unlocked my phone. Do I need to revert to a stock-based ROM in order for it to work or will it work on my current ROM? I know this will be helpfull for a LOT of people.
Thanks.
Finaly we have unlocked device
Well i think now its good for you to be on stock based room wathever your version is ng5 or nc6 . And if you like to help other like me for unlocking our devices i think its good to be in contact with DaisFlague because he is working on unlocking our l720t version of s4

Ok cool. Why is Sprint giving a hard time unlocking devices? Just took me one chat conversation with a rep and she didnt hesitate to unlock it for me. Only thing was that Im running Carbon ROM and I dont know if I needed to be on a stock-based ROM in order to make it work.

Can you use this with note 2?
I recently bought a used ATT LG G2. I installed Novembre5's modified version of the T-Mobile rom to allow wifi calling - it works great.
Today I got an alert from T-Mobile saying "System update downloaded". I wonder if it is safe to install this? If I install it, will I lose the wifi calling (which is very important for me)?
I imagine there must be other people facing the same problem.
Thanks for any input -

Just ordered my wife a G2, it is unlocked however it is the AT&T variant and we are on Tmo. I have read that someone took a Tmo rom and made it possible to flash this to the AT&T model along with the KK baseband so that we can use Tmos wifi calling. However I would like to know if I can simply just flash a Tmo stock image and flash the KK baseband if this will work or am I looking into this all wrong?
This is where I read about the Tmo on AT&T rom:

Can anyone tell me if the ROM mentioned in the link above is this the latest ROM for the G2? Thank you in advance.
Side Question, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod and still want to retain the wifi calling can I flash the Tmo rom along with the aforementioned KK baseband?

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE AND COMPLETE NO GO, FLASHING A FACTORY IMAGE FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE, IN FACT I'D PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE IT!!! GO INTO THE ATT DEVELOPMENT THREAD AND FIND SAID T MOBILE ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE, FLASH THAT IF YOU WANT TO. As an answer to the side question there is no way to retain wifi calling on cyanogenmod, especially on a non tmo device. Finally as for the baseband find out what baseband the respective ROMs need (the tmobile one for ATT G2s or the CM build you choose to use).
I'm looking to get an Galaxy S5 for AT&T, and am wondering how I would update my ROM when using the G900T (T-Mobile)
My understanding is that the G900T comes with unlocked bootloader. I would be getting that model for specifically that reason "just in case" - i.e., if down the line I want to use an alternate ROM.
In the meantime, though, I want to use whatever the most "official", straightforward (i.e., "most approved") ROM I can, even if this means being "behind" on the latest and greatest.
Does this mean that I use the T-Mobile ROM? Or the AT&T ROM? Can I update OTA (as is my preference)? If not, what would be the most straightforward method of updating the ROM?
you would need to get a sim-unlocked G900T, and then you can just put your ATT sim inside and it works.
Not sure if you'll receive any OTA updates if you're not using a tmobile sim though. Most of the newer phones are already on 5.x, you you'd be pretty current.
I got an unlocked G900T last week and put a custom touchwiz rom on it from the att dev section, and it works just fine.
I have an old Tmobile S7E on old ass firmware (Android 7.0 BQE1) and it's already rooted. I just went through Tmobiles Device Unlock process and I believe the phone was unlocked successfully. I'm looking to upgrade to the latest firmware that still allows rooting. I've looked through the Custom Roms threads and can't tell which one is the latest. I am also wondering if I need to use Verizon firmware or stay on Tmobile firmware.
For instance, this thread here: by jrkruse, he mentions to another user in the comments "This one or verizon one? This one just has the Tmobile csc stuff added and a build.prop for gsm carriers thats it" so it made me wonder if I'm using Verizon service but it's a Tmobile phone if this would work. I know Verizon is CDMA so him saying gsm carriers made me think it may not work.
I know this device is old and this thread doesn't get browsed as much anymore so hopefully I can get some answers. If I can't get this working I guess I'll just be getting a new 2020 model phone :highfive:
Thanks guys!
