Hello I was wondering if anyone has tried using the TMO GS7 Edge on the Project Fi "network". I understand project fi runs gsm and cdma but would the phone be able to run solely on the TMO network? I looked through the hreads and haven't seen anything about this. If there is a thread somebody can link me to that would be helpful too. :good: Thanks

You can use project if, but you'll only get T-Mobile towers and its hit or miss with wifi calling if I recall.

I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)
First off,id just like to say,that i own both phones here,And that the S4 is currently off conract.
To adhere to forum rules,i wont go into much detail,
but does anyone know where i can find a reasonable flashing guide for the S4?
I just dropped 108$ on the paid version of CDMA Workshop.
The Donor Phone Is A Samsung Rant.
Not asking for exact instructions,but if anyone could tell me where to look or advise me on the proper ways of going about it.
Ive spent the last 72 hours with about 5 hours of sleep in between trying to figure this out.

I recently had the same problem trying to get my sprint s4 to boost, I called about 4 boost mobile stores a lot of them said it cant be done but I did find one thatwas able tp help. I purchased a new plan with boost and ported my number over. They did a over the air flash through their customer service. They powered off the phone and after a few mins they turned it back on, it no longer had the sprint boot logo it was boost mobile and has been working fine ever since with full lte. Only thing you will need will be a sim card from sprint. if you still have the orginal sim card in it, it will work fine. Hope this helps....
Yeah i had my first s4 put over to boost back around the last of oct. just called gave the dec and it was put right on my account. Bought a black one called to take the white one off and add black one and was told i had to take it to a boost store. Told them that was bs as i did not have to do it with the first one, then she went ahead and put it on my account. As long as your phone has a clean esn it should be good to go.
The spec sheet for the Verizon G2 say that it's capable of both world GSM and CDMA, but someone said that it wouldn't work on any other network. Can someone confirm this? I really want the Verizon one because of wireless charging and lack of tabs in settings menu, but it's no good if it won't work.
[QUOTE=droid_
I think it is GSM unlocked but for outside of the US only. And BTW the tabbed settings layout is configurable on all versions.

For the settings, I figured that one out today, so I might just go with ATT. They rooted it flawlessly and plus ATT has the lowest price. Apparently they found it extremely difficult to root the VZW at first because there were no drivers for VS980.

I might be getting the VZW version because I live outside of the US too and my carrier works on 3G 900Mhz and (correct me anyone if I'm mistaken) the AT&T version does not support that band.

Verizon works in the US and is SIM unlocked. Using metro and T-Mobile Sims now as I test out their networks......
Edit: let me also point out you have to add the apn if you want data. You don't have to call Verizon or anything. Just plug in the SIM card of your choice add the apn and you are good to go. This has been done on all verizon LTE phones with SIM cards as long as the phone supports the bands of the network you are trying to use.

Drivers weren't the issue. It just took a while because people didn't realize you had to select "Ethernet" as your USB connection mode. Takes a single tap and you can use the driver that comes on the phone.

AT&T you don't have to unlock it will work If you choose t-mobile you will have to unlock to make it work on Cricket
Ok thanks for sharing your information I appreciate all the help.. T mobile service is very extremely limited where I work (around farm land).. at my home I get very good signal so I want to have a phone that gets great coverage in both areas. I thought of cricket since it uses att wireless towers and is 4g LTE with 10gb Data and unlimited everything else for $60 a month. Does anyone have Cricket using a note 3 or 4 ..I was just wondering about Signal strength and tested Data speeds

Got you Unique so even though I have to pay more for the ATT wireless version it may be my easiest route. I should not have to unlock it for all the services to work. I chatted with Cricket help desk and they stated that I would need to still have an unlocked phone even if it came from Att wireless.. but that seemed odd to me since they should almost be using the same signal bands as ATT wireless... Thanks for the reply @ Unique

Your phone needs to be SIM free because they use a different MNC code.

If it is like when I went from Sprint to T-mobile with my S8+, I used ODIN to load the T-mobile version of the software instead of Sprint. Imagine both Verizon and T-mobile use the same exact phone, but different software versions. Verizon is CDMA and T-mobile is GSM so unless the phone has both, it wouldn't work - but in your case it should work
