Hello , my brother gave me an almost new unlocked Verizon s5 . Is it possible to use this device with Sprint ? I'd like to root it and install a Sprint custom rom if this can be done . I run custom roms on my LG and other Samsung S3's and S4's but they were already Sprint devices . Can anyone throw a little advice on this ? I'v googled a lot and found lots of threads about running Verizon roms on a Sprint s5 but not the other way around . Thanks much ..

It looks like it should be able to go to Sprint.
According to the following link, that compares the 2, it looks like they both have the same specs.

I can't state that it's a 100% doable thing but, I don't see why not.
You should be able to locate somewhere on the XDA Forum on how to accomplish this.
Good Luck!

I rooted My S5 with this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...oot-method-t3561529/post71202995#post71202995 but now I can't get Samsung cloud, Samsung Sync or Samsung backup to work. I have search the Web for a stock ROM to extract those files from but no luck. Is there a way to upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0 and still keep root? The link that I used says you can flash Marshmallow but will loose root.
I would be happy with a rooted stock Marshmallow and may get back the Samsung account.
So my question , "Is there any way to upgrade from rooted lollipop to a rooted Marshmallow ? This link says you can, but I am not sure if it will work with the Toshiba chip.http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutoria...0v-verizon-on-marshmallow-6-0-1-firmware.html
Can anyone give me some thought and advise ?
Thanks for your time.

Nah bro that won't work you will get stuck on the Verizon screen with the Toshiba chipset but here try this link maybe it can help you out kind of bc this is the closes you're going to get to root on Verizon's locked bootloaders https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ow-to-flash-custom-6-0-1-roms-locked-t3393943
Thanks GUNSEY101, atleast now I know for sure and not just guessing and wondering. I think it is about time to trash this phone and buy a new one.
This one has been a pain in my bottom ever since I bought it.
Thank you for the help and clearing up the rooted MM delima.
Scotty
No problem dude glad I could help the sm-g900v is a great phone......When it doesn't have the Toshiba chipset otherwise you're right it's a pain so I'd say get a new one hahaha
Up that Toshiba chip is the downfall of the phone. I like the S5 a lot and have tried to live with it because I don't think the S6 or s7 is really a upgrade. So I don't really know what phone I will get but it will not be a Verizon.
Thanks again for your help
Scotty
Oh yeah I love my S5 luckily it doesn't have the Toshiba chipset haha and yes the Toshiba chip kinda ruined it bt Verizon has a huge stick up there asses hahaha and Meh I'd say s7 is a bit of an upgrade due to the fact they found a way to root 7.0 however it's very experamental right I'd say https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-rooted-s7-nougatand-fixed-lag-t3576393

Thanks for the help ??
Good evening everyone,
I get an S5 that I wanted rooted, the problem is that I realized that it was a Canadian version, it slightly complicates things ...
Not wanting to make mistakes, I wanted to ask your expert opinion on the subject.
About the phone:
- S5 SM-G900W8
- Baseband version: G900W8VLU1DQB2
- Android 6.0.1
If you need more information ...
So on CF-AUTO-Root it offers two versions for the root of the G900W8:
- MMB29M.G900W8VLU1DPD3
- MMB29M.G900W8UMU1DQA1
I would be tempted by the second, but rather than make a mistake, I prefer to ask you for advice.
Thank you in advance to the participants. (sorry for my average english)

So you have an SM-G900R...
I, personally, would recommend/suggest that you check out the following form that's specific to the USCC (US Cellular) devices.
http://www.teamuscellular.com
The following area of that forum is dedicated to the G900R.
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/408-samsung-galaxy-s5/
I don't normally suggest another forum though, the XDA Forum does have some threads/posts regarding the USCC S5 but, I believe that it's a bit limited and the above forum does have allot more information specific to this variant.
Good Luck!

Geek Squad screwed up upgrade on my Galaxy S5 and returnme phone on bootloader screen telling me to use recovery mode in Keys. I was completely stock before upgrade but it failed to do over the air and Samsung sent me to Best Buy which prompty screwed me over and sent me home.
All I want to do is to run latest official stock both bootloader and ROM from ATT. How do I do that?
