I have a G360T1 Device and there arent many ROMs available for it. I was wondering if these other ROMs will be bootable on my device? I don't care if cellular connectivity doesn't work I just want to make sure I don't brick it. I mean they have the same specs so it doesn't look like it won't work. It just looks like carrier differences and that's it.

Hey, Guys.
I've had this phone for a while, now. I'm pretty attached to it. I'm pretty sure I have some 2 or 3 year old posts here about this very phone.
BUT...
I haven't seen any new support for it. I'm currently running PAC-ROM, but I'm still on jellybean and while I LOVE the rom, it can be a bit glitchy (blame Tyler). I've tried flashing plenty of roms for this thing over the years. i9500's, i9505's, jfltexx's, etc. etc..... I've even gone in and added my phone's model to the rom compatability list (I'm sure there's some other technical name for it, but hey). But nothing actually work works.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some snazzy newer rom for my phone? I don't wanna go back to stock just so I can have lollipop/marshmallow.
Stock sucks.

JDC ROMs are compatible with the SCH-R970.
There doesn't seem to be any difference except for the carrier. Yours is C-Spire, and the other is US Cellular.

thanks for replying.
US Cellular runs on a CDMA network, while CSpire runs on GSM.
Meanwhile, T-Moble ALSO uses a GSM network (every other major carrier uses CDMA), but I believe that they use a different chipset.
Think we will see any roms based off of pixel? or maybe commits to use to get cyanogen and all variants working?
I have asked about a port http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/help/upcoming-pixel-phone-port-t3460899 . Seeing as though the Chipsets are different and the Phone is a Google device and not a HTC Device. I dont see it happening. We dont even have 7.0 and I am sure big G has added a few things to make their device different enough to slow or stop such things.
Hello all I've been out of the phone modding game for about 4 years and just picked up a w8 model and like the phone though sad to see no cm.
I've been browsing the site and had a few questions about modding my phone.. Several roms specifically say it supports w8 while others just say 935F.. is there really additional code to support the w8 or the rom just hasn't been verified by the developer?
Also several roms say to install the latest bootloader and modem but the link only takes you to the 935F versions.. I already have the latest update from Wind in Canada which ends in API1 is this good enough or do I need to flash a different downloaded version and if so can someone point me in the right direction for the Wind files..
One last thing.. I see a lot of people discussing flashing a csc.. but not sure what that is. I assume it's local carrier settings or something but how often is it needed? And does it only need to be done with certain roms or if there are certain issues.
I've only really used HTC and Nexus phones previously so don't wanna brick this pretty new toy as I bought it second hand and don't have warranty.
Also.. probably not the place to ask but what roms do you guys prefer that supports w8? I'm looking for something fast debloated and lots of customization.. haven't really seen the N7 so not sure about new UX.. I've usually gone cm all the way so used to default android..
Thanks for any info/advice/recommendations
I can't believe this question isn't answered. All samsung line with a pile of unecessary variations is confusing. I just picked up the phone and have no idea, while it should be same cpu=same rom
Basically I looking at running a stock android experience, something akin my nexus 6p.
From what I can see, there is not much info in the way of this particular model due to whatever reason.
When I had a Xoom, I was able to flash all the different versions on it as long as I didnt care about the LTE functionality, is that the same with the tab a? (assuming all other functionality is working in the rom)

You can probably use ROMs for the T350 and only lose LTE but the chance of using anything else are slim to none. Samsung's Tab A designation doesn't mean much at all. It pretty much only designates into what price category the tablet falls.

Good to know! Now, to actually root the prick, had nothing but issues with it on 7.1.1
Hello. I have noticed in these threads recently that there is an IMEI, 4G, and VOLTE being lost by flashing roms (it seems like it might be only oreo roms??).
I am in the process of buying this phone (it is amazing for carrier compatibility), and am curious on what your guys thoughts are on this.
I am not at all new to rom'ing, but I definitely want to make sure that I am not permanently loosing any important functionality with this phone.

I'd recommend staying stock until the devs figure out what's going on with VoLTE and they come up with something unless it's Motovo/Lenovorola's fault, in that case you're better off staying stock anyways atleast until the issue is taken care of.

can you explain when this happened? Are all roms vulnerable to this, or just oreo roms? Also, how long has the developers been looking into this for?

This is happening with Oreo ROMs at the moment, at least that's what I've been seeing.
I go back to this statement... if you have to question whether you want/need to root or ROM, then you don't need to and should not do so.
Honestly, rooting today is now like years ago... most "normal" users gain little and give themselves more headaches than it's worth.

I wasn't questioning whether I wanted to or not. I like the idea of rooting and Roming my phone. I have done it many times before. The reason I am buying this phone is close to exactly that reason. I was asking the users if it was a good idea since a vast amount of users are losing their VOLTE and possibly their 4G connections because of doing this.
There can be a fair amount of advantages to with rooting and roming overall, but the reasons for doing this tends to become less and less important as modern cell phones get more powerful and more customizable .

Literally, the title of this thread is "should I root or ROM this phone" so forgive me if I misunderstood.
I don't think anyone properly rooting or installing a quality ROM is losing 4G/LTE connectivity, although a few seem to lose VoLTE but it makes no sense why as the radio firmware doesn't change with a custom ROM and the kernel and AOSP VoLTE implementation source code is available.
Check threads for the ROM you're interested in, and look for information specific to your carrier. I can't speak for some but VoLTE isn't allowed from this device to Verizon or AT&T and most of their MVNOs.

Good point. I'll look into the threads. Thanks for the tip!
