Basically what the title says. The reason Im asking is because there are next to no good roms (except for the MOAR rom and AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod) for this variant, and the worst part is that there arent an s6 roms for it either, which iswhat i have been interested in. If I flash an s6 rom (say the Maverick 4.5 one for example) it will boot and everything will function, except for data (somethimes that may work) and sms and mms. Calling works fine though. I know the reason is that it is based off a firmware from another carrier like Tmobile or AT&T. But since the hardware is just so alike from carrier to carrier model (except the exynos versions) is there a way to edit the rom zip file (extract it, edit/add/delete some files, zip it back up and flash it) so that it will work correctly with sprint. If so, would anyone know which files?
looking into it provide me with a sprint rom please s6 and s5

Hi all, I am getting a sprint LG G2 soon and I am wondering if there is a way that I can use a verizon rom on it. If I can what do I have to do to port it over?
BEFORE YOU DO THIS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!! Flash what ever rom you would like and immediately flash a kernal over top of that rom FOR YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!! I have done this with several roms not compatible for my tmo including Verizon international and att and rom. If you use a rom with an aroma installer DONT CHECK REBOOT NOW FLASH YOUR KERNAL OVER TOP OF ROM!!! ANY OTHER WAY AND YOU WILL BRICK. i have had great luck using trwp recovery to do this hope this helps. Also make sure you have titanium backupor something like it to remove what is not needed, also you may lose features doing this, and one more thing please make sure you know the programming code for your data setting to make sure you can switch the rom to evdo sprints 4g data. It may also be verizons code im not sure
I would not recommend this. It will definitely not work 100%.
What features are you looking for? There are several options with xposed mods.
Sent from LG G2 @sdny8
which version of phone are you coming from?
personally I am using U.S tmobile version, i have flashed international and ATT version. Verizon and Sprint seems to have additional hardware and network differences so I never try.
Is there any ROMs that support the galaxy s5 g900r4? (US cellular)

I have asked about issues with the other roms not working. I lost calling, texting, and could only use wifi with all roms. I also had to remove the SD card prior to the phone allowing me to activate after flashing back to "stock."
I have not found one that works. I tried Phoenix and Alliance roms at first and was tired of flashing back to stock. You CAN use xposed framework and I have used kernels like Blaze. That is about all I've been able to find. You can find dedicated US cellular forums BUT you won't find much there unless something changed in the last day or two. Nobody would answer my questions about why their roms would not work and possibly how to get them to work Sorry, this is about all you'll find. I had a few issues and my threads were also deleted

I have unlocked every USC phone I've ever had...there's plenty of devolopment out there for USC phones. I haven't seen anything other than custom kernels yet for G900R4 though.

There aren't a lot of USC users here so we don't know much about your system. In the past, USC has locked their bootloaders and that is the key reason that you don't see much custom ROM development.
Also, USC (along with Sprint, Verizon) still use CDMA while the rest of the world is using GSM. That basic incompatibility also deters wider development.
Have a look at the Safestrap thread in the Verizon S5 forum. Safestrap is an app for loading an emulated custom ROM + recovery and can probably be used for USC as well.

Does anyone know of a kernel that has SELinux set to permissive that will work? That's honestly the last thing I need. I wanted a bootloader unlocked phone that ran off CDMA so I can use it where I live so US Cellular seemed to be the solution.
US Cellular confirmed that the R4 has a unlocked bootloader. I am running a stock deoxed/debloated touchwiz. I am super surprised and disappointed that there hasn't been more interest and development for this phone. I am so tempted to trade it for a different.

I'm running a g900r4, (klteusc) as well. What rom are you using? I've been all over the gs5 unified and initial developments sections, and am currently using the cm11 unified while waiting for the slim rom unified. I'd gladly prefer a bloat free touch wiz though it seems the stock based roms are exclusive to g900f and the like.

You guys want this http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/411-galaxy-s5-romskernelsmods/
CM11, kernel w/o SELinux Enforcing, other goodies.
Head over to teamuscellular.com/forum and you should find a few available options to try. Including stock deodexed ncf ROM(touch wiz). And other custom Roms ported to USC. Like "cm 12 lollipop alpha." Looks good but no customization. As well as all stock Odin flashable zips. Some others like alliance and beanstalk have been ported, haven't tried those though. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
I have a sprint galaxy s5 (sm-g900p) and i noticed thaht there are a lot of s6 esque roms for this phone but are for the t mobile carrier (g900t if im not mistaken) and since almost all the editions of this phone are the same (ecxept for the international ones like the g900h and other exynos ones) would there be a way to force the rom to use cdma/lte in the settings menu or build.prop or something along those lines since the specs are the exact same but the software is trying to look for gsm networks. Just a thought i had. If anyone could give advice as to how this would work or how to do this that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I want to install a clean (non-carrier) ROM on my girlfriend's SGS5 (SM-G900W8). This is a canadian Fido phone. The reason I want to install the clean ROM is that they removed some parts of the ROM to scam people. For example, they removed a Data Toggle from the Notification Panel. Also, I want this SGS5 to receive updates as soon as they are out, not when FIdo decides to update it.
So I searched on SamMobile and found that there are just other carriers firmwares and 2 uknowns.
So my questions are:
1. What should I do in order to get a clean SGS5 rom on SM-G900W8?
2. What are those unknowns?
3. Is the phone going to work properly on Fido if I install other / non-carrier firmware?
Sorry if these are some stupid question. I am a Nexus user and never had these issues before...
The W8 version will definitely work with any of the T-Mobile roms and most of the other roms. If you're looking for stock roms, all the canadian carrier firmwares are cross flashable, meaning you can flash the firmwares from Bell, Rogers, Telus, Wind, etc.

Thanks for a quick reply.
Would you recommend any specific firmware? Without any issues and with the least amount (or absence) of bloatware?
I recommend the pure note 5 rom available in the developement section. It's very fast, stable and awesome battery life (I get 5 hours of screen time). I suggest waiting a few days since V6.5 is coming out soon though.

Oh, I thought that It's only OK to install ROMs for SM-G900W8 only. Can you please explain what kind of ROMs I can install on her SGS5 (SM-G900W8)?
I checked the N5 Port - looks awesome. I think I will install that one.
You can install most roms that are developed for the snapdragon variant. I installed the rom on my T-mobile S5 (G900T) and it works flawlessly.
I've heard it's possible to flash the T-Mobile stock ROM to the AT&T S4, since the hardware is identical. I'm wondering if it's also possible on the S7 Edge. My guess is that they'd continue with the identical hardware pattern and it would be possible, but I'd just like to double check. The last thing I want is to brick my $600 phone.
If it is, are there any tricks I should be aware of? Do I need to flash an AT&T kernel?
Thanks!
yes you can
It does work. flash with donateflashing09's odin. Download the tmo firmware (flash the csc, not home csc in the file) youll find here
