You can't. Optimus S is CDMA, T-mobile is GSM.

AFAIK the only difference between S and V is the carrier.
Optimus V is Virgin Mobile (Which is actually a daughter company of Sprint)
and Optimus S is Sprint.
They are both CDMA so they can both use the same ROMs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody?

I think there are small differences, such as button mapping. IHO has a special Optimus S CM7 ROM, so don't worry, your friend can have some Cyanogen on his phone too

Sprint is LS970.
E971 is Rogers.
Confirm they proper model #.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5
AT&T using the GSM/UMTS Network, Sprint & Verizon are CDMA, Rogers, Telus & Bell are also GSM/UMTS so you need to stick with the carrier technology for the phone to work.
The issue with using a sprint ls970 is it lacks a sim card slot. There is a sim card mod for it but unless you are comfortable with a soldering iron then I wouldn't do it. Also you'll have to build a custom ROM to support it. So its possible but will take a fair bit of work.

I don't think the radio from the ATT LGOG works with TMO LTE.
Is there anyway to flash another radio that would let u get 3g or 4g something other than Edge.

I just ordered this phone today so I can't speak from experience, but T-mobile LTE should work with the right settings. From what I've read the AT&T Optimus G (E970) has support for LTE on frequencies 700mhz and 1700mhz, T-mobile also uses 1700mhz for their LTE. Some areas in the US might let it get HSPA as well. If everything is unlocked and you're using a T-mobile SIM card then you should just need the correct APN settings. This link should help:

Hey - just went through this for an ATT i747 (Samsung Galaxy S3). Someone in the forum provided the Tmobile bootloader, modem and platform and att CSC. It ended up being what T-mobile used to tested their LTE network using ATT i747. Works great get 4G LTE. Figure will need the same type of code for the LG-E970 bootloader, modem, and platform. Still having to use ATT CSC.
On the other forum they offered up a bounty to get it done.
Could do the same thing.
You're the millionth person to ask. No, it won't work. Not going to bother pointing out why anymore. No tmo version of the lgog exists.

I have the Sprint LG Optimus G and I want to flash it to Boost Mobile because I don't like Sprint itself.
I would like someone to kindly provide me with detailed instructions or source that could aid me in flashing over the carrier. I don't have big bucks to offer someone to help me out, that's why am looking to learn.
Also I am looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy Prevail off Craigslist to do the swap of ESN, but can I still have 4G with LTE? Boost confirmed there's LTE here in NYC, so someone help me please!
Have you tried the Sprint LG Optimus G forum?

I can't actually can't use the website, it constantly auto-refreshes and keeping off from posting or searching for something. The "Candy crush saga" ad ruining my internet experience on this phone.
And I can't enter a specific thread using the xda app.

Hey guys, I am having a bit of a problem.
I had a Motorola Atrix HD, before I got the LG Optimus G(E970). I always had LTE here at work, matter of fact, most everyone else still has LTE here.
Since I got the Optimus G, I can't seem to get anything but HSPA+, on any rom/stock I have tried. I've tried a lot, and none seem to work.
I have a question. While writing this out, I thought of something. When I first got the device it was on 4.04. I don't have ATT, so I couldn't get the OTA, so I flashed a 4.1.2 stock rom through CWM. I swear I had LTE When I first used this phone, as it's pretty obvious on stock (4GLTE) next to signal.
Would me flashing that rom, instead of upgrading it via OTA, or that LGNSP program cause issues?
I also would like to point out, no matter what radio I flash, it never actually changes.
I've tried all the "tricks" to get LTE to work for T-Mobile, the service menu change, the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Nothing seems to change it.
If anyone has any insight on this, I would definitely appreciate it.
A lot of people have talked about having problems getting LTE to work on the T-Mobile network...have you tried hybrid modems ? The thread is somewhere around general subforums I believe...

Yea, I think that may be the problem, they don't seem to be flashing, as my baseband isn't changing at all. Is it safe to use a factory image after unlocking the bootloader?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I've never done that so I don't wanna tell you yes. Than you screw your phone up. I (think) you'd be safe doing so but I doubt that will change the fact of you not getting LTE...
