I purchased a used Verizon S4 today because I couldn't root my 3 year old HTC Desire 4g. I have gained root on the S4 and installed clockwork rom manager. I was wondering if I should Download the Verizon rom (since it is a verizon phone) or if I should download the ATT rom (since I am using ATT network)
I realize that ATT and Verizon use different networks. But with the S3 and S4 a verizon phone can be ported over to ATT since you can choose either Global, CDMA or GSM in the settings, and the Verizon S3 and S4 are factory unlocked. The Sprint and Tmobile S3 and S4 cannot be ported to ATT. I currently have it on the ATT network with no problems. Just need to know what differences are between Verizon Roms and ATT Rom. Are the network and data settings different between the two roms or are there other differences.
Thanks in advance for helping this newbie.
I just have a quick question, I bought and unlocked At&t Galaxy S5, and using it with an T-Molbile sim card as T-mobile is my carrier. My question is if I want to add a custom ROM, do I download a rom for t-mobile or at&t.??
Neither, you download it for the model S5 you have (Mine is G900F)
But chances are that your bootloader is locked anyway
I got my wife an AT&T a few years ago with my upgrade credit (I'm on AT&T). She's been using it as an amped-up PDA without a phone plan. This weekend, we unlocked it and put it on a T-Mobile pay as you go plan (because it's cheap, let's not get side-tracked with the why's, please). The phone hasn't been updated since she got it (it's still on 4.2.2), and I've convinced her it's finally time to let me do it. We're going to reset the whole thing, anyway, so my question is, will the unlocked AT&T version of the GS4 function properly with the T-Mobile GS4 firmware?
You want to flash T-Mobile firmware to the att s4 or do you want to know if an updated att s4 will work on the T-Mobile network?
I don't think you can flash T-Mobile firmware to the att s4 as this could brick the phone.
Since T-Mobile is transitioning off their aws system, the unlocked att s4 may work without any modification of the phone's modem software.
Looking to pick up a GS5 and put on Nougat via LineageOS. Is there a certain carrier's phone that is more desirable than others? Since I do not already have the phone I would like to acquire the best one to get to my ultimate goal of unlocking and putting on Android 7. Phone will eventually be used on the AT&T network.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
Try and see if the international G900F works on AT&T, or simply get the G900T, to not go through the hassle which involves an international version.
If you like using custom roms and such STAY AWAY FROM AT&T!!! Bc they lock there bootloader's haha
AT&T Galaxy S5 has Locked Bootloader, which means you can't flash custom ROMs. Sprint variant has different hardware for CDMA support, so some ROM may be incompatible. If you can invest on G900F (International Version), G900F is the most ideal one for custom ROMs (Or G900W8, which is Canadian version) Otherwise, you would want to get G900T since it has unlocked bootloader.
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked directly from Samsung a few years back. I ODIN flashed it to TMobile and have been receiving TMobile updates ever since. Mostly wanted HD voice and a couple other features that were only available with TMobiles software. My current build is G950USQU5CRK1. Since I ODIN flashed to TMobile am I able to root? I can't seem to find any other post that pertains to this. Thanks
