Hi guys, really hoping you can help me out here.
I have a n900v and i have a tmobile sim in it (metroPCS, but same thing now). I've seen several threads here saying guys put in their metro or tmobile sim and voice/text worked right off the bat. The same is not true for me. I have put in my sim and tried several different tmobile APN settings (ones specifically for the Note 3 on tmobile, and then the one my S3 currently uses) and nothing works. I looked for a tmobile note 3 radio to flash thinking that would work but i dont even see a radios thread in the n900t forums. I even flashed the hyperdrive rom hoping that would open me up.
Can anyone tell me how to get this phone on the tmobile network?

pretty sure u would have to get metro to first add the IMEI to their database before the sim could work

I just called and gave them the IMEI to add to the DB, they said it wasnt listed in their inventory and may need to be unlocked. But i dont get a sim unlock prompt on the phone and every post says these come unlocked.. I have a feeling it's the radio that i need. Does anyone have a recovery or odin flashable tmobile modem?
Tmobile rom didnt fix either
Just safestrapped a stock tmobile rom and it didnt help. Guess it didnt include the modem. I need to find some firmware to extract it from.

There are some threads in dev i believe that are flashable modems
What happens is I flash the wrong firmware to a verizon s5 such as att or Tmobile?
Will the phone work?
I want to be able to use my straight talk att sim in a verizon s5.
Will it work if I flash the att firmware?
No. Do Not flash a variants firmware to your verizon phone or you will end up with a $600 brick.

You can use your sim WITHOUT flashing other firmware. Verizon 4G phones are sim-unlocked, so put your sim card in, change APN settings, and voila.
I see the general consensus is that the tmobile note 4 cannot be used on verizon. Is the radio purely software controlled? Could I just flash another baseband and modem?
I did notice when I installed cm12 and inserted my verizon sim I was able to get 4g and data access but not on the stock tmo rom. Voice did not work as well. Is there anything I can do? I dont really want to have to shell out for the verizon version with an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks
Before I rooted my verizon galaxy s5 I was able to use ATT sim cards but the phone would not get any service whatsoever with a tmobile sim or metro pcs sim. Everyone i spoke to at least was able to connect to the tmobile or metro pcs network, even if they were having data issues...but I was not even able to get a network signal. Finally, I rooted the phone and am using a tmobile rom thinking that may help. But no luck. For some reason my phone will not register itself on tmobile or metro pcs, Not even to just connecto to the network to make phone calls. I tried 2 different tomible roms and i think an att rom and no luck whatsoever. Anybody else experience this issue? Is there a root function or service menu that I need to access to enable the proper band? Is rooting the phone even going to change anything? Makes no sense how every other verizon s5 out there has no problem connecting to tmobile or metro but I have the only one. Ive scoured the forums and have yet to find any answer....thoughts? Oh, I also tried every APN settings combination imaginable. Even other carriers just because I was getting nowhere with the tmobile and metro APNs.
Quite a lot of your thread made absolutely no sense, so I'm not sure if this will help.
Look for a tar.md5 that contains the stock modem partition for the Verizon S5, and flash it through Odin.
Are you bootloader unlocked? I would just flash a generic klte rom, like Cyanogenmod, instead of flashing an ATT or T-Mobile rom.

According to a few people i spoke with the root for verizon s5 can only accept TW roms. And to clear up anything that doesnt make sense. my verizon s5 will not get any service with tmobile or metro. Works fine with att. So i decided to root. After rooting still no luck. However, before I rooted I was getting no bars at all. After rooting I was actually getting service bars but still would not get any actual service. I tried every APN setting I could find and still no luck. Thats all. I will try your advice as far as flashing the tar.md5 and let you know.

There was a bootloader unlock exploit released - it allows any rom to be flashed. It's been in the top development posts for weeks. Go check that out, and you can flash cyanogenmod.
I actually am in a similiar situation except I am already on CM13 using a previously Verizon S5, I just started Tmobile service yesterday and in general I can make calls but data is rather inconsistent. Example right now when I make it call it falls down to 3g (Normal) but when I disconnect it tries to connect to H+ then 3G but all of them don't supply it data so it just swaps around 3G LTE and H+ and I have to airplane mode on/off to fix it. So this person may still have issues using CM13. I did already go over the APN information with people from TMobile and from post around the web. Does anyone think that flashing the Tmobile s5 modem stuff will fix this?
you just need to get the correct APN settings

I've tried the correct son settings. It didn't work. I used the settings found online for T-Mobile. I called T-Mobile. Non of the settings worked. I flashed back the the stock rom. No joy. flashed a verizon s5 rom again. No joy. I am starting to think that this is the only verizon s5 that won't allow t to register on T-Mobile's network.
Hello all, I'm using a G930T with the Verizon Stang ROM on ATT network. Everything is running great except my Data signal.
I'm only getting "H" and rarely "H+".
I changed my APN settings to ATT.
I used ODIN to flash the TMobile PK1 Modem which helped but not completely fixed it.
The OP of the Stang thread said that I need an ATT "apn.config" file from an ATT ROM and that I would also need to change the permission of it to "0644"
Could anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?
