I have a friend that has a SGS5 and wants to switch it to a prepaid Verizon account. My question is, will rooting it allow me to be able to link it or does it have to be factory unlocked?
I know i rooted my T-Mobile SGS5 and it worked with MetroPCS so I'm going it's the same.
TIA

I'm sure you can carrier unlock your S4 and allow you to use another Sim card. Try searching for it

I think you can carrier unlock for 3G data only. But I think Sprint has to give you the code, and you have to be off contract or paid up on your phone.
If you look around you will see the domestic unlock only rolls when you are on mf9 bootloader and can go back to mdc If you are on 4.4.2 the best you can do is foreign unlock after 90 days on Sprint and then they will unlock it.

I have a Verizon S4 that is currently unlock and works on AT&T network, but I will like to have a Full AT&T Rom in it, Can I just install a ROM from the development section? or even use Odin to get a Full Stock AT&T Rom in it?
thanks.

I have the US Cricket variant unlocked on the T-Mobile network. Is there any way to flash the stock t-mo ROM in order to gain WiFi calling?
No

You definitely can't

I know some of you guys just flash the "U" firmware, but I want to just buy the phone unlocked. For the ones that just bought the unlocked phone, instead of flashing the "U" firmware, did you notice any problems using the phone on the VZ network? Do updates actually roll out faster?
No problems at all. I had the U model when it first was released and kept alternating between vzw, tmo and U firmware. Everything worked per the appropriate firmware. Moreover,b it's cheaper on BH photo since they don't charge tax as well

Go to B&H website there you will find the information.
Thanks!
Did just discover it would be pointless for me because in the future if I want to use it on ringplus it won't work

The answer is NO. The Verizon version is CDMA only.
Nope, I flashed the unlocked version on the verizon model and after a week it started running like ****. Just spend an extra 100$ and buy the unlocked model on swappa and call it a day.

You're kidding right? Every major Verizon phone in the last two years is factory unlocked. I'veused a Verizon LG G3, G4, S6,S7 , and S7 Edge on ATT.

Hello, I just bought an HTC 10 from someone, its unlocked,S-off, and rooted. Currently running NuSense 7.0 with no issues. ATT installed my nano sim, set up APNs and I get 4gLTE. Question is..can I also run US unlocked roms as well?!? Change firmware and/or radios?! If not, could someone direct me in what and how to do it being I'm on ATT?! Thank you for your time.

Yeah you can fully convert to unlocked ruu and then run unlocked based roms. In fact it would probably be better in your case.

By the way. The 10 I bought is Verizon branded. Is this still possible to RUU to US Unlocked? I forgot to mention that. Thanks.
