Is your device rooted? If so, the task is simple, a root explorer, navigate to /system/app/ and delete all files with sfinder in it

Noup, no root here.

Can we confirm that? I'm not seeing a lot of the frequencies t-mobile needs http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988 listed as being on that variant.
Edit: Vodafone shows for the F
2G GSM (frequency bands) 850/900/1800/1900MHz (type frequency bands)
3G GSM (frequency bands) 850/900/1900/2100MHz (type frequency bands)
4G LTE (frequency bands) B1(2100),B2(1900),B3(1800),B5(850),B7(2600),B8(900),B20(800)
T-Mobile says:
LTE: 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz
3G/4G: 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz
Wikipedia says, re: T-Mobile:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#4G_LTE_upgrade
I think for now, no LTE and if you're lucky and have 2100mhz you get 3G. It looks like in the next year or two that you may end up getting higher speeds after all as a result of them upgrading their 2G bands and repurposing the spectrum they bought from MetroPCS.

You are supposed Tsandna in the development of the machine does not stand deduced says poor excuses here we are in the development of private Roms modified CyanogenMod Service

Spotted a bunch of ROMs

I found some ROMs for our device hwre:
Link
The thing is these ROMs are marked for lenovo k50 series. My phone is K50-A40 and I have also seen many people having k3 note with different names. (perhaps that's country based) . Had anyone tried any of these ROMs. Did they work? If they did then what model are you on K50-A40, K50-T5 or something else?

Oh. I didn't know those linked at the same place. Thanks.
Also can you explain to me the difference between K50-A40 and K50-T5?

Is there a difference between the K50-T5 and K50-A40?

No! Both models are identical. The only difference is that K50-T5 is sold in China, while the K50-A40 is sold in India. This means that ROMs listed here will be compatitable with both models. Also, ROMs should work with the Teena (ceramic speakers) model as well.

Custom boot logo?

Are there any working boot logo mods for the moto g4 mpj24.139-63 (north EU)? I've been searching and searching but everything I find is always the g1, g4 plus, some american edition (I think) that looks different in some ways (is the moto g 2015 the same thing or what?), stuff said to be "for osprey" whatever that means, etc. Or just clickbait like on all those no-name sites you find on google.
I can't for the life of me find anything that just says "do this to have a custom boot logo on the moto g4".
Thanks for any fruitful pointers
Edit: this is the closest I've found, but I dont know what "for osprey" means and my screen is 1920*1080, not 1280*720
