Some interesting stats for some that have bought a Sprint to modify and run on a different carrier.
I have two Moto Z2F phones one of VzW and the other on Sprint BL, Sim Unlocked and rooted stock Rom.
I ran Speed test from home with both phones
Sprint XT1789-03 signal -111dBm Download speed 8.75 Mbps Sprint Sim 4g LTE
Sprint XT1789-03 signal – 99 dBm Download speed 13.85 Mbps Verizon Sim 4g LTE (Still Roaming)
Verizon XT1789-01 signal -110dBm Download speed 58 to 65 Mbps Verizon Sim 4g LTE not Roaming
I’m trying to stop the roaming on my Sprint with VzW sim. I tried a network reset and corrupted my VzW sim, I had to go to the VzW store and get a new sim.
I tried re flashing the stock rom too many times to remember.
I can not get the VzW firmware to work, it will flash ok but set-up keeps stopping so I’m using the Sprint firmware.
The phone is running great, BL unlocked, rooted, Safety net checks ok, I have good Titanium backups, TWRP backups that all work. I don’t know how I did it but the encryption correct with no errors in TWRP.
I just can't get the phone to stop roaming with my VzW sim.
I wonder when I put my Sprint sim in does the chdmod change back??

Have you tried keeping all partitions sprint except system and OEM? (Get to latest sprint stock, then flash latest Verizon system sparse chunks and OEM image). It worked flawlessly on my Sprint Z2 for AT&T
I flashed Verizon system sparse chunks and OEM image.
I changed the Fbat file to the new names (oem.img Sprint, oem.img_sparsechunk.0 VzW etc)
after booting I get "Setup keeps closing" error, I get the same error when I flash just the VzW firmware
I'n not sure whats doing that.
one thing to think about, over the weekend I called VzW. we tried to get my phone to stop roaming, Shutting of roaming helps but i lost all signal/service. the VzW tech said its because my phone is still active on Sprint. The Tech said that my phone is unlocked and will work on VzW but only once I cancel my Sprint account. That test was with the Sprint Firmware.
These are the file names from the VzW Firmware that I replaced with the rest of the Sprint Firmware.
I can’t get past the start menu. The error is “Seup keeps closing” I get the same error just flashing the stock VzW firmware.
I’ve tried downloading the VzW firmware from other sites/mirrors and get the same error msg after the firmware boots and I enter the setup.

Hopefully someone can give me some guidance. I bought a phone locally from a facebook classified group. It has a clean ESN and said "ready for activation" on sprints network when checked. The phone has been unlocked and it used on a different network, but was supposed to be flashed back and ready for me to activate with sprint, and all I'd have to do is pop in the Sim card for 4g and activate it.
The phone has no signal at all, so even though I can activate it online through my account, obviously I can not use it. I'm afraid that when it comes to this end of android, I know just enough to get myself in trouble, but not enough to fix my problem on my own!
Here is where I stand.
-Phone MID was changed by seller to Tmobile MID, I had to change it back to sprint MID so I could flash firmware and RUU.
-When read with QPST or CDMA workshop, phone is NV only, not RUIM, which is as it should be.
-Once RUUed, the phone has no service. It is unactivated, but usually an unactivated phone will still show signal. It has a x over the bars. This does not change if I change any settings in *#*#4636#*#*
-I flashed a custom rom (lollipop nocturnal edition) so I could get access to the APN settings. Once the rom was loaded, all I had to do was set roaming options to automatic, and my phone showed signal, albeit it now thinks it is roaming all the time I set up the sprint APN in APN menu anyways, just to make sure it was in there. Phone still shows roaming. PRL = 1
-When I restore back to the image made immediately after RUU, no signal again. PRL shows as a sprint PRL 55xxx. I can't update profile or PRL even on wifi.
MEID MSID MDN and IMEI all appear to be good.
Android Version 5.0.2
Baseband 1.01.20.1225
Kernel 3.4.10
Build LRX22C.H3
I have access to QPST and the free version of CDMA workshop. Phone is DIAG enabled, rooted, TWRP recovery, @ off and unlocked
hboot 1.60.000
os 6.16.651.2
TIA for any help anyone can give.
What about using ruu?
I have a N920P sprint note 5. It is unlocked and rooted....i want to know if i could install a att rom on it. Im tired of seeing that sprint splash screen and i cant get 4g on it
I have sm-n920p and flashed the darthstalker rom which has several options for device selection during the install. I installed the tmobile version with no issues besides my network not working, it even listed device info under status as sm-n920t. Mine is not network unlocked but is rooted. If yours is unlocked and rooted I wouldnt think youd have any issues as I did not installing a tmobile rom. Maybe try a rom that has several or a few device compatibility. May or may not be a issue but I would feel safer with a rom that supported a few different models rather then a rom that was specific to a device that's not mine.
I understand exactly what you mean. Hmm i may try this later on today.
It didn't work

Didn't work at all or what did you run into? The first bootup took awhile but worked for me. I was on the noble kernel before flashing in twrp and had oem unlock enabled in dev options. I did the sm-920t choice and worked. Here is official pagehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/development/rom-darthstalker-note5-version-1-aroma-t3212091
The sprint note 5 has different radio hardware than the other note 5's so to get phone calls and data to work you need to run sprint roms. Thats just the difference between CDMA radio hardware and the GSM radio hardware. ***SIM UNLOCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CELL RADIO NOT WORKING ON A NON SPRINT ROM***You can use gsm service with a sim unlocked sprint note 5 as long as you are running a sprint rom. At&t has no root or roms for the note 5 so just stick to the sprint forum and you will be fine.
Right, my data did not work once I flashed the sm-n920t version but everything else seemed ok. I tried using a tmobile sim card and could not because my phone was is not uicc unlocked. He was saying his is unlocked and was wanting to flash a att rom which shouldnt be a problem from my experience unless 920p and 920t are compatible while the att version is not. I think the note 5 is capable of most networks gsm, hspa, cdma, lte, just need the right sim and the phone unlocked.
ok so cleaning my house the other day i came across a old phone of mine the Moto X XT1093 Variant (US Cellular) so as i suspected i had unlocked the BL in the past and installed TWRP and i had the stock 5.1 rom and it was rooted, i guess at some point i also installed Xposed Framework...anyways...according to the US Cellular website, this phone is already sim unlocked...so i was thinking , ok cool i can pop a sim from some random prepaid CDMA carrier and it should work...well i flashed dirty unicorns 6.0 xt1095 rom on it and its stable, the US Cellular sim is still in there and its getting a data signal, obviosuly account is off, but then i started reading and i got worried...is it even possible to flash another rom on this phone and it work? like i mean this is a CDMA phone, but i read that all XT1095 is GSM, so is there some rom i can flash that will support some sorta CDMA prepaid? any help or advice here would be appreciated....

I use it with the At&t prepaid sim. I'll look and see if I have some of the files I used to lock on the cdma networks...

I have a telus galaxy s4 that is running 4.2.2. I unlocked it using "Regionlock Away". I know it worked because I tried using my brothers Rogers sim and it worked. I follwed the guide to unlock AWS bands, but it did not work. When I flash the AWS file with QPST, it all went well. No error messages. It rebooted my phone but I still can't pick up a Wind Mobile signal. Does anyone know where I went wrong? Would leaving the Wind sim card in while flashing caused this?
I have an X4 Android One and recently switched from stock to Pixel Experience, and now my phone won't work with a Verizon SIM.
While I was using the stock OS it worked fine swapping SIMs from Fi to Verizon. When I unlocked the bootloader and switched to Pixel Experience, the Verizon SIM no longer works.
Could this be due to the Fi vs Retail firmwares?
I went to Verizon and they couldn't figure it out, and even the reps own SIM card didn't work. It's definitely something to do with my phone. I tried LineageOS and that didn't work either. It's odd that it still works fine on Google Fi.

Could try reflashing these from retail firmware
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

You've probably checked already, but if not, make sure your APN is set to VZWINTERNET. I have had issues with multiple ROMs losing this setting at times and switching me to Straight Talk or Xfinity. Which them breaks mobile data at least until I flip it back to Verizon. I haven't used Pixel Experience, so it may not be an issue on it.
