yes

is flashfire used to flash a rom from the other network?? I assume you would need to flash there kernel 1st correct??

Please provide some additional details regarding this setup. I am also using AT&T service with my verizon s5.
I thought since partitions are different we couldn't use AT&T/TMO roms on verizon s5.

The thing is that we are only allowed to flash touchwiz roms, go check out the alliance rom in the att section download it, but if your are in oc4 lollipop or any other version youll need flashfire by chainfire ( google around) subsribe to the beta test then download it. but if your on AO8 just flash a lower kernel I.E NK2 so as to as to get safestrap working

tried installing using safestrap, I'm at 4.4.2 ancg kernel.. and it errors when i try to install

I also don't see the 4.4.2 rom but if you want to use the 5.0 rom just install it with safestrap then boot directly into download mode from safestrap and use odin to flash the VZW 5.0 OC4 (firmware only) be sure its firmware only and just let it boot.

Just try it. Works for me. I'm using T-mobile though.
get the firmware only file here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
Flash the 5.0 rom from the At&t thread in Safestrap or Flashfire however you choose.
Boot Directly to download mode. (if using flashfire be sure to select reboot to download)
Flash the OC4 retail Firmware only using odin once it reboots unplug from computer and wait for the rom to boot.
1st boot will take a while. Thats it.

Sorry I couldn't help. It must only work with T-mobile roms. Did everything else with the att rom work though like wifi?

Is there a 5.0 T-Mobile ROM that I can install on my Verizon S5?
What's the best way to root and install if my phone came with NK7?
Thanks

The only I see that could get affected is updating TWRP thru Goo Manager. TWRP will give the T-Mobile version instead of ATT.

You can manually download TWRP from their website and install it using the "dd" command in a root terminal or root adb shell. It's a bit more hands-on, but in the end you just run a command or two. Instructions are on TWRP's website, and are specific to each phone. WARNING: If you do end up flashing a recovery via this method, be 100% sure you selected the right phone on TWRP's website, and be 110% sure you get the partition number right at the end of the "dd" command. Flashing the recovery to the wrong eMMC partition could easily result in a hard brick. (basically, just follow instructions and you'll be fine).

Ahh, yes, goo will install the TMO version, you need to use the flash att version in the Dev att forum.
Aou maybe right, that might be the only way, I didn't find the flash version....you could try this..

I337 is the AT&T, but since you said MG1 and that firmware never existed for us it's I337m (Canadian like you said). In any case, go to sammobile.com and you should be able to find your firmware.

You might have to odin the firmware a couple of times. I usually odin the first time, reset the CSC code back to what ever carrier you are using, then odin again and then setup your accounts and such. If the new firmware has a new radio, it might take two times for it to grab.

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "
So I got a new phone and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn how to do things on my own with my phones, Lucky me my new phone (Nexus 5) is way easier to root and do the fun stuff... but not my Galaxy S4
trying to odin back to stock I got stuck in Download mode and later i got a msg saying "Software not recognized by AT&T was found in your device" and on the top line in red said "Secure Fail: Kernel"
How can I flash the kernel and the new recovery ?
remember I am a Noob trying to learn, so go easy on me
What file were you trying to flash with odin? Do you have a link? Also, what firmware version was your phone on? The version you're trying to flash in Odin had to be at least as new as what your phone was on.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The boot loader is locked. This means that the stock recovery and kernel cannot be replaced. Also, you cannot Odin flash firmware that contains a boot loader with a lower version than the one you are currently running.

there are 2 possibilities about flashing g900f firmware on your g900v:
1) it will refuse to flash
2) you will hardbrick
as I said earlier, please flash this to check whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked.

The G900F has an unlocked bootloader - the G900V does not. If it does flash, you can root if you want. If it doesn't flash - all your stuff will still be there.
By the way - there is no such thing as too many questions

Now I understand the situation.

Flash T-Mobile S7 ROM on AT&T S7

Hey XDA,
I just recently purchased a AT&T S7 (SM-G930A). I also just recently found out that AT&T doesn't push updates to non AT&T network phones. I am using the phone with T-Mobile and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the T-Mobile stock rom without tripping Knox or anything of that sort. I remember being able to do this to my AT&T Note 2 back in the day. If it is possible, can someone kindly link me to the file and instructions on how to flash the stock ROM from T-Mobile? Thanks!
You can, however once you do you can't go back. It may be possible in the future, but Tmobile has a v3 bootloader, and AT&T is still on v2 bootloader.

Thank you! One more question, I have the stock T-Mobile ROM and for the CSC, there are two files:
CSC and HOME_CSC
Which one do I choose in Odin for the CSC option?
Thanks
When attempting to flash using Odin 3.12.3, I get this error in the log:
FAIL! SHA256 is invalid
This seems to be because of a corrupt file?
I downloaded the ROM from two different sources now and still I get the same error.
Thanks

Thank you so much!! This worked!
And I figured ou the difference between HOME_CSC and CSC:
HOME_CSC keeps your data while CSC wipes it
Thanks so much

So TMobile ROM on 930A . Any issues ? Did you try going back to AT&T ROM
All that talk out bootloader versions and not able to restore back to AT&T ROM
Can you odin Unlocked 930U version ?
I'm using Cricket on AT&T S7 variant and I couldn't get any update from AT&T, which pissed me off. So I decided to flash G930U firmware and I succeeded. But unfortunately, there isn't a single G930U update been released so far, which is quite surprising.
Other than the update, I'm extremely satisfied with the new firmware. It's so fast and clean comparing to my previous bloated AT&T firmware, free of all kinds of overheating, battery dropping, slowing down, crashing, auto-restarting, bugs and lags (Just so you know, my G930A firmware was the newest. I had to take my phone to Best Buy to update. And I used PDP to disable bloatwares). I highly recommend everyone to flash G930U. The new firmware also has an APP called Samsung+. It's very useful and it tells you if it detected slow charging, or reminds you to restart your phone if it hasn't been restarted for a while, etc.
I'm still wondering if I can receive OTA after flashing anther variant firmware, but I can't confirm since there's no update for G930U yet. I'm curious to know if OP could receive any T-Mobile update after flashing.

No issues at all so far. Works perfectly. I don't really want to go back to the stock ATT ROM because I don't need it.

I flashed to the latest update of the ROM so I can't prove it works. But from what I've heard, after flashing the ROM you need to factory reset the phone so it can unregister from att and register to whatever carrier you are using it on. I am not sure how true this is but I read it somewhere and it seems to make sense.

if you ever switch ROMs please check about the issue of bootloader version and not able to revert back .
Not able to revert back is the only issue keeping me from odin to T mobile ROM
If bootloader version is a problem then you cannot flash 930U firmware also
Is that so ?

I'm not sure what bootloader the G930U has. The att ROM has v2. If it's newer than that, then downgrading isn't possible. Is its the same, then it should be fine.

930A and 930U both have to be similar bootloader , thats why we could change ROMs

If they are the same, then switching between them should be fine.

This won't be possible until ATT decides to update to bootloader V3

I was also able to flash the 930T on my 930A. I saw there was a Note 7 port but you need root and TWRP. Haven't tried flashing back to 930U yet, but thinking about it.
