Are ROMs cross-compatible? Can i flash 1575 ROM on my 1572 device? What's the difference? Media always say the only difference is in the naming (us pure, rest style). I guess for average user that is true and enough. Are there differences in bootloader, radio, kernel?
+1 Would also like to find out the answer to this question.
Not sure of the code, but there are some hw/physical differences between the Pure and Style - naming the LTE radio bands each supports is different, and the Style comes with and has support for Dual SIMs, which the Pure doesn't. With that said, I'm not sure how many parts can be used back and forth, but I would guess it's not cross-flashable out of the box.
As long as you dont have a dual sim Pure, I think you should be fine.
Getting a reply from a developer who has or is working on a ROM and has looked at the code would be lovely, it would amazing if you could flash for example a rom for 1575 on a 1572 or vice versa
Tried flashing a 1575 rom on the 1572 variant. Some roms work other don't. Some roms dont recognize the sim card. So flash at your own risk.

Not a good idea since hardware are not identical.
I think @Hashbang173 might be able to answer this. He is building the AICP rom, and has had to make some modifications to get the X1572 single sim to recognise the sim card.

I live in Germany and will soon receive my style, maybe tomorrow. My question:
There are several issues, that points to different system images of the XT1572 and XT1575. I assumed, that for example the lte channels (= modem) are the only difference, but there are some others, too. In an other thread, an user described a problem with using WiFi correctly, after flashing the system image of the XT1575 on a XT1572.
This would result in different roms, if development will start soon. Is this correct? Does anybody know, what's the real difference of the two devices regarding software/hardware? Are there different WiFi modules? Can you please support me?
I'll wait with rooting my device until I'll get some clearance about this (and maybe until M via OTA arrives).
This is the reason why I feel these forums shouldn't be clumped together; Similar to the problem we encounter with carrier-specific variants. Although, if someone can figure out unified development, that'd be great.
There should also be a warning sticky maybe, until this issue gets investigated. Otherwise flashing the wrong image could end up in a (soft?) brick.
I can answer you on the rooting part atleast as i have the XT1572 (European moto x style) Unlocking the bootloader and flashing the TWRP recovery for the moto X pure works just fine. After that its just a matter of flashing the SuperSu Zip and you are good to go as far as root goes.
I flashed the aicp ROM from this forum on my Xt1572 and it's working great. WiFi, bluetooth with my moto 350, LTE and calls, all working.

I thought XT1572 is the dual SIM version?

Hey,guys.I am from chian.but i have a moto x pure edition(xt1575) buying from amazon.And i want to ask can i flash my phone to a dual sim editon because the bad LTE signal of China Moblie.At last sorry of my poor english.Thank you all.
No, you can not. Keep in mind that the version you have is not a dual SIM version. If you flash it, you will probably brick your phone.
Thank you for your answer. But i had unlock the bl and root the phone. And i will not flah the bl and CID. I found the UK moto x play(simple sim) can be used with daul sim cards by flash the dual card rom.
With the S5 devices with the eMMC 15 chip to aquire an unlocked bootloader, which ROM's from other variants would they be able to use without issues. Just trying to get a thread going for users and Dev's to share their opinions for others to gain knowledge from. Along with Pro's and Con's and 'how to's'. Happy ROM'n
T-Mobile variant seems to be the most supported ROM-wise. It's not locked down to 5.0 TW ROM's like the G900V (Verizon Variant).
The Verizon variant is the most locked down.
That is the question and for any helpful users to post.. Which T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T(if any) and other variant ROM's can we "safely" install on our device. And what are the Pro's and Con's and the fixes(if any).... i guess this is more like a R&D thread to where everyone can post anything that may be helpful to people having questions of which ROM is suitable since we're now new to the unlocked bootloader and hoping more(the eMMC 11's) will be able to be unlocked as well. I'm pretty new as far as setting up a "guide" type thread. But as info is passed out, I'll try to update the thread for information of the ROM's and Pro's and Con's about them.

Well now that we have an unlockable bootloader... Well, that has to go to AT&T now
To my knowledge, most variants use a generic G900F rom, because those carriers strictly use GSM bands. Verizon and AT&T use CDMA bands, which aren't fully supported in these roms. @jrkruse has released patches (thanks ) that will help with compatibility, but I think these are confined to 5.X at the moment.
I **think** there may be some modifications made to Verizon & AT&T roms regarding firmware, but I can't be sure. It seemed there was more than just CDMA support in the zips provided by JrKruse.
When flashing a G900F rom (should be safe) without patching, you'll probably only have glitchy and cutting out 4G/LTE, with no calling or SMS. Some modifications of the APN settings can maybe help a little, not much. The use of third-party texting apps has been shown to provide some support, but not complete.
Of course, all of this is just based on my strange reasoning, I could be completely wrong on some parts.
Besides cell services, these roms will work fine. Quite fast, too.
As I have stated in the other thread, if a rom is 6.0 and not touchwiz as long as it has a dev build it will boot and work without much more than verifying the apns. 6.0 Touchwiz is simply a no go, just dont try it. It is not worth the headache to get it to work.
I know cm, aokp, aicp, and Resurrection remix all have dev builds there is a couple of others that I think but havent really looked.
@camcorder123 ATT doesnt use cdma technology, they were just dicks and locked the bootloader like Verizon.
@limeaide Oops, you're right about ATT. Sure, a dev build will be easy to run, the problem is that nobody makes them. We've got a few ported but no official developers (from what I know) are actively developing for the phone. That'll probably start up sometime soon but until then we need to find a way to make the generic roms work.
Upon further research, I think it's gonna be a *tad* harder to get G900F roms to work than I thought. The reason only LTE works is because the LTE standard requires a sim card, so there's no problem in getting the phone to read the card and connect to the tower. But, CDMA is separate from the LTE standard - each phone is whitelisted on Verizon's servers (I'm assuming with the IMEI number) and does not need a sim card to access voice and SMS. This is unlike GSM, where everything is through the sim.
So I dunno, we might be stuck for a while. I wouldn't flash roms made for variants other than the KLTE edition, it might be the same outcome even though they may support CDMA.
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I didn't find anything. I just purchased the XT1681 dual SIM version of this phone. First question, is it compatible with all the potter roms? Second question, will I lose the dual SIM function?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The builds for EU/US will work well for dual SIM devices. Only India has a different build (the latest one ends on 92 for India and 93 for EU/US). I have the european version with dual SIM (so I can't speak for the indian firmware) and flashed POTTER_NPNS25.137-33-11_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip without any problems. Also later builds should work.

I have the same model of you and i have flashed successful all of the roms here, now im on resurrection remix 6.0.
All roms have Dual Sim function so don't worry about it!
Remember if you flash custom Oreo roms don't get back to stock or you will lose VoLTE.
Take full twrp backup(oem, efs etc.) and keep it safe.
If you have any question you can send private message im from mexico too.
Since the EU version of the OnePlus seems to work with Dual SIM.
Can we flash the US version with the EU OxygenOS and be able to get Dual SIM working in the US?

Actually, this is what I did. Using US Version (Model: IN2025) and then was flashing with the EU Oxygen OS Version 10.5.4. After the flash, the update to Oxygen OS 10.5.6.IN11BA automatically was retrieved and installed.
Two things are surprising to me:
- I was expecting that after 10.5.6 upgrade, dual SIM should work, when limiting the network to 2G/3G/4G. However it still shows that the dual-sim function is not working.
- I thought that flashing the US device with EU, would also change the model from IN2025.
What am I missing here?
Thanks & Best.
dont think it works like that
you risk bricking it by cross flashing firmware

I was using this post -- and no issues. :angel:
OnePlus chat support told me that only configuration and software is different between the regional devices, hardware is all the same.
However it also didn't solve what I wanted to achieve - dual-SIM and (at best) also European bands - like n78 ... :crying:
