[Q] Help flashing ROM on Note 3? Network not working

Hi,
I am trying to flash the Galaxy S5 Stock ROM by @jamal2367 and am having some trouble. I do a full wipe and am able to flash the ROM successfully, however my mobile network doesn't work once it's flashed. I am able to connect via Wifi and the ROM seems awesome...I'm even able to download all of my apps and sync my Google account on it. When I try to text, make calls, etc. I don't have the service to do it, though.
I am currently running the PAC-man 4.4.4 ROM. I have a Note 3 through Sprint. Model number is SM-N900P, Baseband version is N900PVPUCNC5. Do I need to do something different with any of this? My bootloader? Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Scott

You should try the S5 port on the Sprint section of the Note 3. I believe it's made by Sac?

Thank you! I know...seems obvious now but that never even crossed my mind.

[Q] Updating phone to stock 5..1..1 Lollipop

All,
Just received my wife's new Samsung Galaxy S5 today. The phone is on the Sprint network and is a model number SM-G900P. I have not yet activated the phone as I intend to first update it, root it (but stay with the stock ROM), and copy data.
There are lots of good guides for rooting the phone (I have done this previously with previous phones) and for copying apps/user settings.
My question is this: The phone is currently running KitKat 4.4.4. Ideally, the first thing I should do us update the phone to Lollipop 5.1.1, but I have not found a guide for doing this. Can you point me to one? If not, should I simply get the phone working and worry about updating the OS at a later date? Since I have Titanium backup pro, if I need to wipe the phone and reinstall everything, that wouldn't be too painful...
My new phone, a Galaxy S4 Note also arrived today and is also on the Sprint network. I have the exact same questions regarding it.
Thank you.

I have questions about Samsung Galaxy J series, specifically the J3 Virgin Mobile

I have a few questions for anyone familiar with the Samsung Galaxy J series, specifically the J3. I have virgin mobile, and after a long time suffering with their HTC Desire 510, I want to upgrade, and not wanting to spend $400 on a galaxy S5 , the J3 seems the next best phone to get. However, as I've grown used to having a rooted phone and customizing my phone as much as I want, etc, I want to make sure my next phone can be rooted, and has support for custom ROM's, etc.
The main thing that could help me with my decision would be some guidance as to whether other versions, the J2, J5, J7, etc, that are present here would be potentially compatible with the J3, or if I'm out of luck and should consider other options if rooting is a necessity for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Anyone?

I'm sure you can root it.
I'm using j5 and it took me like 15 minutes of reading and about an hour /including downloading and setting up all the things /for the root.
I just want to say that you would need to be prepared to wait until someone make a custom Rom for it.

Thats what I was thinking. I figure that rooting it (hopefully) is similar to the other J series. As long as its rooted, wouldn't I be able to (even w/o custom rom) debloat/customize/etc it with various root tools, apps2sd, etc? Or are those dependent on having a custom rom? On the only phone I've rooted so far (htc desire 510) I didn't really spend any time with stock rom when I rooted, instead immediately flashing Nonsense rom, so I'm not sure what limitations keeping stock rom comes with when rooted.
Thank you for the reply! It gives me a bit of hope at least.

I'm not really familiar with the device. As I said before I have a j5. According to the applications that you mentioned I think that it would be possible to get and install them. But rooting isn't quantum mechanics. There are some apps that you could easily install on almost any device and get the root privileges. For example kingroot I am sure you can find others. I usually root my devices trough pc.I recommend you to take some time before jumping on the first option that comes up as a possible solution.
According to changing the stock Rom. I don't known how developed is that treat so.. Again read here and there about it.
GL!
Let me know if I helped by hitting the thumb up

I dont think permanent root is going to be possible until a working twrp is made so that you can flash supersu. I know that sux, I wanted to get one for my wife because she broke the screen on her vm s3. But without root and the ability to get unlimited hotspot... nope. I asked a dev ( lrs121) if he would port twrp to it. He said he would try if I had the phone and could get him the necessary files from it. Look in the sprint s3 section under twrp for virgin and boost s3. He is a great dev.

Actually far as I can say there are 2 twrp options. you just have to read more

Read where? Could you be a little more vague?
I am by no means a noob, and when I answer someone, I generally throw in a link.
But thanks for letting me know it exists.
Is it another phones twrp that works? Any hints at all?

Sorry i was on the phone while traveling. I`ve mistaken that it was about the j5 ( like mine device) and for that especially i had tried 2 working options up to now for twrp. but i`m pretty sure you can find tutorials or you can even simply DL the twrp /for example/ 3 install it as an apk and than you if it stuck just would need to DL odin for your PC and than strictly follow the steps / install /unzip odin, connect device , go into DL mode and flash it with the stock ROM which you can find in sammobile /.com i guess/ ?
GL and hit thanks if i helped!

On a locked bootloader you can only get back to your exact device build or update. So just the Sm s820L (current api or above) from Sammobile.

Hey guys. I've had this phone for a while on a deodexed rom with busybox. Anyway about 1.5 months ao I had some financial trouble and had to let the service go for a little over a month. When I bough a new airtime card I noticed that the phone was nolonger picking up any type of signal when it had alway shown a strong signal even when I had no time on it. I thought maybe it was because I needed to reactivate it or something so I added the airtime card (the $50 unlimited, it's on net10 by the way) but still can't get it to find any kind of signal. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why and so far nothing. I have restored with a previouse TWRP backup, factory reset and tried reinstalling the rom but nothing has helped. Any imput would be greatly apreciated

Hey guys!
I'm fresh to these forums but I've been into modding my SM-S820L for a while.
I have a couple of posts over at needrom.com with firmware and unofficial TWRP release for the SM-S820L.
Head over there and check it out.

Install Stock T-Mob firmware on SM-G900V

I was given a branded Verizon Samsung Galaxy S-5 running Android 6.0.1
The Config Version is J13SAMSMG900V.1
Build Number is MMB29M.G900VVRU2DPF4
Kernal Version is 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Baseband Version is G900VVRU2DPF4
I want to replace the Verizon build with a T-Mob, with all the functionality. Is this possible?
Will T-Mob look at it as a T-Mob branded phone (receiving updates and such)?
Will the Play Store work properly with the updates?
Will Android Pay work (or other NFC oriented pay apps)?
I am new to trying this, so the simpler the better.
Thanks.

It is possible to have a t-mobile system Img installed all this does is allow you to flash a g900t aosp based rom onto your device doing this is extremely buggy no data calling or texting is the common result of doing this
as for an Ota update it would more than likely hardbrick your device if you had a g900t system Img installed on a g900v
but to answer your question no it is not possible bootloaders are g900v still so you cant get g900t firmwares installed and if you try to change your bootloaders you will hardbrick permanently with no way to recover
It is not worth it a few people claim to have changed a g900v into a g900t but they don't provide a guide or files so they are lying
Don't believe them

I tried changing a g900v into a g900t and made a rookie mistake I was partially sucessfull one or 2 boot loaders changed but not all 3 trying to unlock a g900t bootloader with a g900v method and got a hardbrick waiting for a debrick img to be made
If I get it debricked I will try a g900f conversion instead of a g900t conversion

I have the same hardware he does.

Identical to jrhack. I already had a T-Mobile account, and don't want a Vz, but I overlooked learning that it was a Vz phone when I agreed to buy it. At this time it still has the Vz firmware, software, apps. I would like to debloat it and root it.
So far, on the T-Mobile network, it works fine, except at times sending an MMS will fail, but not always.
I would appreciate your recommendations. There is no warranty or service provider involved here. Just me and the phone.
Thanks in advance.

To get root downgrade to lolipop ok3 or pb1 firmwares and use Jr Kruse ok3 root method on xda under s5 Verizon section and then debloat stock firmware and a good close to stock rooted debloated rom is jrkruses PB1 deodexed rooted deknoxed debloated rom

I have a verizon s5 with a cid15 so i can unlock the bootloader.. My thing is. Is there any possibilities of changing the baseband to any other baseband and ultimately getting that over to the tmobile baseband? Kindof like on the S7 edge where you can flash the U firmware and change the baseband.. Would we have any luck on anything with this phone ultimately being able to change that phone over completely? Just wishful thinking on my part.. hah
