Wondering if there are any tmobile roms that work on a unlocked sprint version. I'm using a sprint rom now and it works ok. Just want to be the most compatible with tmobile as possible. I am a noob to using unlocked phones. I was with sprint for 10 + years and just switch to tmobile last week. Thanks in advance
Update- i flashed the the tmobile maximum ovrdrive n5 rom and its working great! Came from a sprint hybrid note 5 rom. Wiped and did a clean install and everything works great. Still no lte but my 4g has gotten better speeds. My new question is im still on my sprint ok1 modem should i try a tmobile modem or stay with it the way i have it?
I don't believe you can use a sprint phone on tmobile. Different network. And as for the rom. I don't think there are. I could be corrected but sprint phones are only good on sprints network and that's it.

Modern sprint phone support T-Mobile and ATT's HSPA network. Heck I used my unlocked Sprint S4 on ATT for about 5 months without any issues. Only thing was that I didn't get LTE.

I already have my sprint note 4 unlocked and working on t mobile Just don't get lte. Was wondering if a tmobile rom with the right modem would allow me to get lte. Maybe if a dev can make one or something

Hi all.
I have been using my AT&T S4 Active on T-Mobile for the past week. I got it unlocked via an eBay seller and everything has been working great thus far. I had a question though regarding bands and whether or not all the bands available to me are unlocked. Right now where I live I pick up 4G/LTE (although not as strong in my apartment and cuts in and out periodically). I had read that when you unlock a phone via the code it automatically unlocks the bands that were previously not available (when locked to AT&T). Another thread I read that the user has to still unlock those bands. I was hoping someone could clarify this and point me in the right direction! Thanks guys!

Are you able to use mobile data with only unlocking the phone? I am about to buy this phone but i heard after unlocking only call/sms will work and not data.
I read here that for data we need to do other stuff
This phone says " LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17" on AT&T website and I'm wondering if this phone will work on other carriers LTE network(T-Mobile, Verizon, or others?)? I know Verizon is CDMA and at&t and T-Mobile are GSM but can anyone answer this?

I got the AT&T SGH-i537 model. Pay $15 to have it unlock. Now using it with T-mobile. I got LTE. In some area, I got 23mbps download and 3.6mbps upload. It doubled my Galaxy Nexus speed. The device status info said I am on LTE:14
However, my mobile tethering is disabled. Need to find a way to enable that. Stupid AT&T lock it.
As long as you have the correct setting input into your phone your data will work ( assuming you have a data plan). I remember when the original Iphone came out I unlocked it for T-mobile and had internet on it even though it was branded AT&T only. (EDGE lol 56kb speed) but still it worked...
Root
I unlocked mine with ATT and used it with TMobile while I was in Hawaii. I only had to put my SIM in and I got pretty fast speeds (around 22mbps from what I remember) I don't know if that's the normal speed but compared to the crappy speeds on Guam it was lightening speeds to me! No root or anything needed, no difference after rooting either.
i can confirm it works minus teathering due to att
This is interesting as I thought ATT phones cannot receive Tmobiles LTE.

tmobile hspa + can get up to 42mbps so that sounds about right.

Hey, everyone.
My friend and I unlocked his Note and he switched to T-Mobile. We played around with flashing different radios and ended up with one that gets decent signal, but nothing that's satisfactory, especially at his house where my TMO S4 gets 4G. Are there other radios that work on this phone? Can it be any T-Mobile radio?

So you are using an ATT Note? Might try posting in the ATT forum as there are many ATT Note->T-mobile service users there.

I will do that. Thank you
I had the same problem as u as I used an at&t note for Tmobile and 4g speed sucked big time... The reason is because the frequencies and the antenna is different from Tmobile n at&t... U won't ever get actual 4g speeds unless u have an actual Tmobile phone... Unless there's a new way to do it but yeah ask over at the i717 rogers forum...

So my father in law pre-ordered a note 3 for me.
Yet I am not on Verizon. I am on AT&T.
I have been flashing for years on my androids, But, I am unsure if I can flash AT&T firmware to make it work properly on my network. (at least until I start flashing other roms!) Any help would be good.
I don't want to sell or trade it in, MY Wife would be sooooooo pissed!!! she would definately know.
So, can i just reflash AT&T firmware on the verizon phone?
Thanks in advance.
From my understanding nope. Something to do with the bootloader. To be totally honest I don't know the details, I just tried to find that out a year ago when looking for phones on craigslist.
Tell your wife there's nothing you can do and sell the thing. It's not that big of a deal really. You'll get a pretty penny for it and will be able to have almost the entire price of a new one from verizon.
Vzw is cdma and att is gsm the phone will not work. There is no fixing hardware in the phone

Yup, won't work. Even if you could flash the ATT ROM, the hardware is different.
I have a similar question. Can I flash international and other gsm roms on a tmo note.?
Like I can on my s4?

Just switch to Verizon and cancel ur AT&T service. It is impossible to flash AT&T onto verizon device.

what? Why? What kind of relationship are You in!?
The posts here are ALL INCORRECT...... YES Verizon is a CDMA carrier, But what does there LTE run on??? GSM....
NO you cant flash AT&Ts Note 3 rom on a Verizon note 3. Just pop your AT&T Sim card in, Set up your APN and set the phone to GSM only and BAM it just works no root no mod no nothing.
You WONT get LTE, Only 3G and Edge.
This works on the Verizon Galaxy S3 and the Verizon Galaxy S4....
Some necessary info . . .
"You WONT get LTE, Only 3G and Edge"
The S4 will work perfectly on AT&T, by simply calling them and asking for a free SIM card, assuming you are an AT&T customer. And, LTE works perfectly, as well.
~Speaking from experience.
the verizon note 3 is already factory unlocked all you have to do is go into the settings and click GSM and set ur apn settings and you will not get LTE but you will have hspa+ and full talk and text with no issues

Can you use the S6 EDGE AT&T version on T-Mobile? Or would it be better to get one from T-Mobile and use that on AT&T and T-Mobile?
You can but only 3g I believe
T-Mobile probably since they have root and all that jive. But why would you want to have an ATT phone on T-Mobile?
Because I use ATT as well. I think the ATT variant didn't have 700mhz.
LTE worked.

That's really good to know. I saw a video on YouTube I can't recall which one though that shows the At&t phone prompting to do a T-Mobile software upgrade. Of course this is after the phone is unlocked and a T-Mobile Sim card is inserted. Is that true or is it a load of manure. Thanks in advance!

ive been looking everywhere and im not 100% on this BUT will this model work on at&t? lte and everything? might trtade my unlocked note 9 for one
It will work on at&t but you might miss out on some network features like carrier aggregation which gives you faster download speeds. But other than that it would work fine on at&t.

Works fine. You're not going to have wifi calling, and there's a band or two we're don't have on the phone they ATT uses.
I have been using a 960f/ds on AT&T for a week or two now.

It will work but you will miss lots of AT&T Features and a few bands are missing, Also no wifi calling thats one of the features there's more features that wont work can't remember now, So if you care about your AT&T Features then it's really not worth getting theses International Phones, Also the Network is Slower Than the one Snapdragon AT&T Has on there phone, Cause of the Bands Missing.
I on att on 960F/DS. Works fine. Speed is the same where I am compared to my att note 8 but that could be because if where I am. If I'm missing a couple of options it's worth it for the flexibility. No issues.
