So, I have an i337 thats unlocked and using T-Mobile. I am trying to use ISIS on my phone but the AT&T version states "This item isn't available on your carrier." when I try to download it, and the T-Mobile version states "Your device isn't compatible with this version.". I tried the root method yesterday and it was saying something about how my Secure Element ID couldn't be loaded (somewhere along those lines). I DO have an ISIS sim as of yesterday. If anyone knows any workarounds for preferably the rooted method and if not the stock TouchWiz method PLEASE, help me out. I have TWRP with the Jamal v6 ROM on the second partition. I'll hold off on re-rooting it until I can make some progress on research. Haven't found anything so far on XDA or Google.
Thanks!!
Why not just use Google Wallet?

I want to test it out. Seems pretty cool.
I have a rooted Verizon LG G2 (VS 980) that I would like to put stock firmware on. I dont want Verizon's version because I dont like the way they tampered with a few of the apps. I've seen the posts about going back to stock but they all seem to point you to use your carrier's version. Does anyone know where I can find the method to use LG's stock G2 firmware?

Hello,[emoji4] , you can't use no other version of your device, but the Verizon Variant, because if you do so, you'll brick your device because the International Unlocked model and the Verizon Model is different, and even if you did(I don't recommend) install the International Unlocked Model, you'll still need Verizon's Sim Card, and once you've inserted the Sim Card, the Carrier will still install its Bloatware.

Quickly looked in the Verizon section of the forum and the "[ROM] XDABBEB's VS98024A v1.2.1" seems to be the most popular de-branded option which is non CM based. The cook removed the 3rd party apps, so most likely the Verizon bloat is gone. See the thread here and good luck.

Is there any way to get the stock messaging app (unmodified by Verizon) or another carrier messaging app to my device? I've tried many of them I've found online and can't get one to work?

Sorry, can't help you there.
Hi all, just came to the S5. My carrier (in my case, Bluegrass Cellular) is a carrier partnered with Verizon's LRA Rural LTE program.
More info can be found here. http://www.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/05/4g-lte-goes-live-in-rural-america.html
https://opennetwork.verizonwireless...s-modules/devices/SMG900R6_GalaxyS5_2808.html
This thread is intended to help others with this variant of the S5.
I thought I would take the lead in helping the small community with this phone looking to root and run custom roms as we did in the S4 thread in the Verizon S4 Help/QA Thread.
* our other thread for the S4, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453312 *
We get our LTE phones from Verizon, and they are close-nearly clone variants of their original Verizon version. For example, for the Galaxy S4 I just moved from, SCH-545 (VZW) VS SCH-I545L (LRA) which even had an identical partition table. This s5 variant is in many ways equal to the Verizon dev edition. Also further evidence to support a mostly Verizon clone these phones share the same fcc id, a3l-smg900v
Status: What I've tried so far.
Root: Geohot's Towelroot worked successfully.
RECOVERY: UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! use twrp or cwm whatever you please.
Kernel: I use ktoonsez kernel. Works perfectly. Highly recommended, this guy's work is amazing.
Custom ROM: installed and working! VZW custom roms work. If you guys want to try Verizon roms, just edit build prop to lra info, you can find it thread.. Just remember to restore apn aswell and it works perfectly. You can use kitkat TW roms like Alliance rom, OptimalROM, extreme syndicate etc.. some aosp roms work with (patch not needed) some roms have unexplained issues..i dont know what to do about them. Remember to flash kernel of choice (highly recommend ktoonsez) after rom aswell. Have fun!
I will update as I go along, anyone can feel free to post. Welcome any and all who have this phone for any questions.

Safestrap: MUST use AT&T safestrap after I discovered we have different partitions than the 900V, as this time around we have a matching partition table of the AT&T S5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794087
Custom ROM: installed and working! VZW custom roms work. MUST BACKUP APN TO RESTORE (follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656046 ).
Everything else works.

I also have the SM-G900R6 & have been testing stuff to find out what works on our model, If you like I can post what mods I have tested & confirm working.
Are you also on NF2 with Bluegrass? Was your original firmware ND7?

Yes and yes. I've been trying custom vzw roms but there's a few unresolved issues (phone wakeups and other things, plus ne9 based roms don't work properly) etc I can't figure out. I'm back to stock but with tons of build prop tweaks, running like a champ. I can share with you if you like. What have you tested?

My build prop. It's possible to delete your build prop, copy that one into it and set permissions. Or restore it via build prop editor app, would probably be the easiest way.

Mine says nothing about boot. I'll try to do a backup and find a camera to show you later.
I tried Alliance slimhyde and extreme syndicate. I think They have problems with our firmware tho. Works mostly, apns are restorable , but have issues with Android.com.phone wakeup, can't figure out but it causes high system drain. If you're OK with less than stock battery life, try it. I'm trying to investigate the differences that cause problems I experience.

Thanks for this thread it will come in handy in the future. Plan on staying stock for now but may root for the MoaAB list. I have the R6 through my tiny carrier in Michigan Thumb Cellular.
So does each LRA carrier release software updates at different times? I'm on NF2 as well. Will root cause update errors?

The lra carriers should release all at once, updates are pushed from Samsung. Root can cause errors but you can unroot and restore system changes. It will block ota alerts tho, but I have an Xposed module that bypasses the root check so I'll still get notified of an update. Safestrap backups also help out a ton, so you can make a stock system backup to restore later etc.

Band 12 is hardly in any devices yet. Not even the new iPhones. I'm hoping for 2, 5 and 17 (band 4 and 13 are a given) that way if I ever want to sell it, it will work on T-Mobile and AT&T.

i did, says nothing about boot. everything else is ok. as far as testing the build prop, easiest way is probably to make a backup, and install build.prop editor app. it will create a romtoolbox folder on phone, then in that folder you should see build prop backups. paste it in there, open up app and restore it.
Hey guys
Has anyone tried to use a GSM Sim card? US or international, to test GSM capabilities of this model? Technically this phone should be an unbranded, unbloated Verizon model, which is SIM unlocked for US/Intl. carriers, unless the software restricts it.
Since our carriers use band 13 LTE like Verizon, it has to be unlocked.
I'm just curious what LTE bands it has.

So my phone is S7 Edge G935P. Playing around on it trying to get the trifecta of root, rom, and data. So I odined the G935P.I3 and it worked, then rooted, no data. Then I flashed a Verizon ROM just to see if it would work it did, I have data, but is there a way to activate my sprint phone with a Verizon ROM? The rom I used is stang5litre edition 5.0 s7e by blackrain. Everything works except for the Verizon stuff obviously, so I'm just curious if it is possible to change those things to sprint?

Activation just sets your apn/profile.

I was going to try this also but never had the time. You should go to the rom thread and ask stang5litre and ask him. He is cool and well help as much as he can. He might have a legit answer?
If I put this rom on a sprint phone could I use it on a verizon network?

You will still need a donor Verizon phone to activate the Sim. You will only have lte coverage as cdma on Verizon still requires imei number. I would just flash the U firmware if you are thinking of going... Same service minus the bloat ware
Hi,
I recently moved to India from the US. I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge unrooted Nougat firmware. I am not able to use Samsung pay in India as it is still linked to the US servers. Can someone help me in installing India Samsung pay on my phone?
Thanks

EDIT: I installed the samsung Pay APK as suggested in another forum and it seems to work fine. Not added any credit card as yet, but the application seems fine.

No you have to install the APK that belong to the country the phone is set to. So if the Phone is verizon and set to US, then you have to install the Samsung Pay apk of the US version. And even though it will work if you register your card with the US version of Samsung Pay (international transactions have to enabled for the same). This is not advisable given the amount of credit card fraud that is going on. Also you will never get any of the offers available on the Indian version of Samsung pay.
Regarding the APK of Pay framework I also tried to install that, but it failed. This could be Knox protection at work.
I beg to differ here, I got Samsung pay Citi cashback using Verizon phone and US app, which was showing all US offers.
