I'm not positive on this, so don't take this as the definitive answer, but from all the reading I've done, flashing a rom from one carrier onto an android device of another carrier is a really good way to brick the phone. I'm not saying it CAN'T be done, as maybe someone out there has found a way, but at the very least, I'd imagine you'd run into all kinds of issues (freezing, apps not loading, crashing, etc.) if you were even able to do it without bricking...

This was from the thread I linked above:
he said not to flash other carriers software in odin...he didn't say you couldn't flash another carriers rom via zip file in recovery. Long as you don't flash the att bootloader or radio you should be fine! Roms flashed via a custom recovery only replace the system/kernel.

Well, I just flashed the JellyBeer v3.35 for the ATT note2 and it booted up just fine. was a bit surprised to find no data. wifi works just fine. was gonna play around with the apn info, but wasn't sure if it would make a difference.
thoughts?
BTW, GPS seems to be working fine. 12/17 sats with an error of 13ft. Took about 60 secs the first time it tried locking up. After that, instant!

you will have to edit apns, there is a thread for that in dev section.
While it's not something I would suggest the average user to attempt... it sounds like they are onto a solid method...but of course it would be at your own risk. Most would probably be better off waiting for the ROMs to be ported over though.

Okay so I tried using the main SBF tutorial on the dev forum here and that SBF file didn't work for my Milestone X2. I'm pretty sure the main problem is that I'm on ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) and they're using 2.3.6 and probably some strange baseband versions. I got some "boot error 1" or something.
Anyway, I can't find a .sbf file for the ACS version of my phone. I was able to get the phone to boot again using this nTelos sbf, but I wasn't able to make calls or anything and saw a flashing triangle on my status bar.
So I guess a few questions I have are..
1) Does anyone know of a .sbf file that would work for this?
2) Can I somehow edit the nTelos ROM to work with my carrier?
3) If I take it to ACS will they be able to flash the sbf file for me? Or at least supply me with it....
4) Have I voided my warranty by doing this?
Any information is helpful. Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------
Figured I'd give everyone a quick update. I got the phone replaced. I went in and played dumb. She asked if I tried to root it and I said "what's that? I think I've got a virus!!" She had no idea how to fix it so she just gave me a rapid replacement.
I would really like to get the SBF files so I can at least try the 2.3.6 root and not worry about messing it up this time, but any company in Alaska is pretty hard to deal with for anything at all.
Thanks for your help XDA! I miss my Skyrocket
I'm not sure if flashing a sbf file voids warranty. I imagine that it does because if done improperly or the sbf file is bad it could brick the phone. You're most likely going to have to take the phone to them.

you probably have to flash your phone in a similar method as a flash to cricket or metropc wireless except with your carriers information.

Not sure I fully understand, could you give a little more information please? Kind of nervous about taking it in.
was it just the flashing triangle that means you have to activate the phone?
maybe that's all you need to do?
SBF files are given to us by Motorola. I wouldnt think you would void your warranty by using them unless its a leaked version or something. But even then, you could play stupid and just say you didnt know. They might buy it.
I mean if all else fails ask for an sbf from your service provider.

Many thanks I shouldn't have made the attempt to downgrade first in the first place. This time I think I'll just attempt a simple root, which I've read worked for another ACS Milestone X2 2.3.6 user. After a root I can install ReRecovery and make a NANDROID backup right? Just in case anything goes wrong again? I haven't fully looked into it since I'm not rooted yet, but I'm assuming ReRecovery is just another thing similar to ClockWorkMod, which I have experience with. Too bad there are no 2.3.6 roms that I've seen :< I really hate this stock ROM and all its bloat.

yes, I do not blame you. There are parts of the stock rom I like but generally I do not like it. I just rooted my phone 2.3.6 method and it worked. My only advice is to download Super user from the market before you start the process.

I do want to help, but do not want to risk anything until I can get my phone setup to a point where I can always flash back to this ACS 2.3.6. Is that essentially done once/if I get ReRecovery on the phone?
Yea RR should be flashed whenever you leave cwr!
You could test on your acs.

Our phone is crippled, cwr restore does not restore bootloader & other stuff.
I'm a new user I can't post on that thread until 10 posts I guess. So I'll try it out here.
I'm having some trouble flashing this ROM it looks amazing and I'd love to try it. I am rooted and I know how to flash but still a rookie. I followed the flashing steps and it says att users to flash loki patch and I did. Phone booted up and seemed to be working fine. My problem is that I had no Data connection 3g 4g or LTE. Am I missing something? Any steps I am missing something else I should have done that isn't listed in the guide provided? Going to bed I work nights hopefully someone can give me a pointer or two.
Thank you

Did you change your APN like the OP states. The rom is actually the tmobile version. Thats why you need to flash the att swag zip. Try setting your apn the exact same as the op says
I know there are not alot of us around here, but I know of a few guys that are running a Verizon S4 with A T-Mobile SIM card.
I have been running Verizon ROMS and getting 95% functionality. Service is weird, but works most of the time with a few area's that I have to manually go into gsm mode to keep data. BUT I may have found a work around for all of it.
I am running a the i9505 4.4.2 TW ROM GoldenEye, nothing was changed in the ROM to make it work better with Verizon. I posted a thread to let other people know about it here and it is working for some, and it is failing for others with APN problems, but it was/is 100% working for me with no changes to settings at all. I installed, Loki-Dokied, and booted up to 4G automatically running. I got LTE by changing one word in the APN.
SO I need a couple guys who are running a T-Mobile sim in their i545 to test this method for me and see if I just got really lucky or if we have a winner here.
I will put the how to in the next thread.
***I take no credit for the work on this ROM or the Loki-Doki fix***
**I take no responsibility for you phone becoming a paper weight**
*You preform this at your own risk*

#1 You must be on the MDK boot loader, radio's don't matter but newer radio's seem to have a more stable connection.

#4 Flash GOLDENEYE VERSION 24 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629 (The ROM)
DO NOT REBOOT (you will get an unauthorized boot loop)
#5 Flash http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577109 (The Loki-Doki)
#6 Reboot and let it sit for 5 or 6 minutes
#7 ????
#8 PROFIT
Report back here with any info or updates you guys have. I have tried a couple other i9505 ROMs with limited success but working together we might find some other ROMs this method works with. Also in the ROM thread iB4STiD has included links to remove a lot of bloat and additional mods.
To get LTE go into your APN settings adn change "epic.T-Mobile.com" to "fast.T-Mobile.com" The data icon wont change to LTE, but I am getting 26 Mbps
Give credit where it is due:
The ROM was created by: iB4STiD
Loki-Doki was created by: TheAxman
Both cool guys who gave me the go ahead to post their work.

I'm aware of what the bootloader is, yes. But this is an i9505 ROM so it won't boot with the i545 without getting the unauthorized Verizon software screen. It was to my knowledge that the i9505 bootloader was removed to avoid this.
And I am on the MDK bootloader in case you were wondering.

If you read the thread for the EagleEye ROM in the OP's second or third post he mentions that the bootloader is not included. That is why I origionaly had it in my OP my lack of sleep and my smoking habits didnt allow the info to sink in right away while I was typing. I was in the process of editing my OP when you posted originally.
ROM's do not include the boot loader. Your bootloader if MDK will stay MDK no matter what ROM you flash.

Roms do not have bootloaders, your phone does. Which was my point. If you have an mdk phone you have an exploitable bootloader. They are not packaged in the rom nor can they be removed from the phone. I just find it interesting that someone posting a ROM for testers ( as well as you, the tester ) doesn't seem understand this....

No worries. Before you stated you were on mdk I thought you may have been on an older build, thinking you could flash it because "the bootloader had been removed." Just didn't want you to brick/trigger warranty flag from misunderstanding

Haha, my warranty is nonexistent as I bought the phone outright from swappa and am now on T-Mobile. I understand the gist of what having the MDK bootloader means along with how great it is to have the exploit djrbliss made available to us. Just never knew that bootloaders weren't attached to ROMs lol, but now I know. Again, many thanks for giving this noob some much needed insight .

I am by no means a developer, I am just a dumb ass who stumbled onto something that works for me through trial and error and listening to other dumb asses who tried stuff on their phones, and I was hoping it would work for others. Test it, don't test it, what ever.
To be honest I have no idea what a boot loader is, I know what boot loader I am on and I know that some smart guy exploited it to allow us to replace the software with something some other smart guy came up with. I know that the newer ones haven't been exploited like mine and that's why they can't do as much as MDK guys can. Hell I don't even really know what safestrap does but from my razr days I know it allows people to install different ROMs.
Bottom line, I am just a guy using other peoples work to try to help some other people not "error" as much as I have and enjoy their device a little bit more...

I'm running on TMobile. I actually have been since we first started discussing the 4.4 TW roms on the i545. I've had no issues and didn't have to enter any APN settings.
The ROMs we are flashing, Goldeneye for instance, do not include the bootloader. If we were flashing Samsung images then bootloaders and modems would probably be included, and would probably brick the phone since we'd be flashing incorrect sw. That said, as long as you are on the MDK bootloader, exploited by Loki, and running a custom recovery, then following the steps in the OP should work for you. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's probably a kernel error. Loki-doki should solve that for you. If not, that's why you have your Nandroid back right

I am going to DL and flash soon as I get off work.
Seems to be working for me...
I am using a t-mobile SIM and am still on MDK. I followed the instructions in the OP, and the phone appears to be working. No other mods, themes, etc. other than the OP. SMS, MMS, Data all appear to work. Speeds seem consistent with LTE, but no way to know.
On initial boot, however, I always get this message: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". However, after accepting the message, the phone appears to work normally. It may have something to do with the dark dialer theme that appears to be part of this ROM. I have seen that message before...

[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I Root my LG G3?[/SIZE]You should revert to ZV4 using Flashtool - see below.
OR
You can root ZVA using THIS Thanks to @l33tlinuxh4x0r - But be aware that most ROM's/Kernels are made for the ZV4 bootloader!!! You will have all ZVA partitions, so you may have issues.
On ZV4:
1. Your phone must have NEVER been Rooted before. Even if you've uninstalled SuperSu and removed all the files IT WILL NOT WORK!! It MUST be installed on a clean phone. ie Never Rooted, LGFlashtool - see below about this.
2. Root for us is in this thread. HERE
Version 1.2.0 is the most current - Hit "Grind" it'll more than likely say not supported, then hit "OK" and it will "Bruteforce" root to your phone, then reboot when told and it'll reboot again on its own.
Let it bootup, then install SuperSu, reboot and then uninstall Stump Root.
Version 1.0.0 was made specifically for the Sprint G3.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I unlock the bootloader?[/SIZE]You must Root first with Stump, then we use BUMP
HERE is another option to install BUMP.

Nope. We're good to go on this one. Just be careful what apps you remove. Don't cut too deep.
What a lot of people are doing is freezing/disabling apps before they remove them.
Added questions Q5 - apps, Q6 - modifying build.prop and system files
Updated rooting instructions. Just made it more thorough.
Here's an idea for q8.
How do I get my QHD preloaded videos back?
The answer is... Restore your G3 with flashtool!
I accidentally deleted my QHD vids awhile back when I did a factory reset from stock recovery. I couldn't use someone else's vids because they have some kind of protection and can only be viewed on the device they came on.
I restored with flashtool the other day and when I was going through my gallery this morning I noticed that they are back.
I searched and asked everywhere trying to get them back with no luck.
---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

These are common questions that someone would search Google for. It would be great if this thread popped up when someone searched Google for the answer.
My suggestion is to make each question specific to the G3 or LG G3.
Example.. Q3: How do I restore my LG G3 back to factory stock condition?
Just think about what you'd type into the Google search bar.
Excellent faq, please don't think I'm trying to be critical.

It's all good. I was the one asking for suggestions, so I don't think that at all.
The way XDA wants these FAQ's is to try and find the most common questions so as to limit the amount of new threads. I tend to take it a little further by providing links and other info that I think is helpful.
To answer your suggestions:
1. So far, I think you're the only one who wanted the QHD vids back. So I'm not being rude, but for now I'll leave it off. You, me and others that actually read these threads know how to fix this. (and this IS on the first page now). If it becomes a common issue, I will gladly add it.
2. I'm not positive about this but I think the tags at the bottom serve that purpose. I added a couple and I think anybody can do the same. I'll edit the OP just to make sure.
Thanks for the suggestions, and please don't think I was being critical. I was just explaining my position.
Added link for question #5 APPS removal list. Thanks to stas333
Q#7 Added EFS Backup info. Very Important that you do this or you could be in for a lot of work and luck.
Q#3 Added info on getting MSL
Wow. Super surprised at how dead this forum is. Just picked one up today cuz specs were amazing. Hoping I didn't make a bad choice. Just checking XDA now, but looks like no custom recovery and ROMs. I pray I'm mussing something something. Device seems fantastic.

All the G3s ( except T-Mobile ) just got unlocked like a week ago. Plus we're all waiting for the Devs to release their Bump tool so AOSP Roms and custom Kernels can be flashed.
Just be patient, it's all in the works!

Wow. I'm new to bump AMD some other terminology. Always been an HTC user. It seems there like 4 different ways to get root (according yo YouTube tuts). I'm more interested in boot loader unlock to get custom recovery. Looks like I have a lot if reading to do lol.

If you're on Sprint, Stump is our root method. And to unlock the boot loader, we all use Bump.
Stump and Bump are the names of the apps/methods.
Almost sounds like a new song, which we're all singing now.
Edit. New from autoprime

OP updated
Just wanna say thanks for the one stop shop. Makes it easy to find stuff when I need it.
Well I didn't want to start a new thread so I thought I would ask here. I hope that's ok. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone uses a cpu governor? I'm on stock and rooted through stump and bumped. If so which is a good one to use and what settings are best? Thanks
Op updated with ZV6 info - There is no Root for it yet.
Flash one of the zips in Development.
Hey guys thanks for taking your time and reading. I have a Verizon Sch-i545 Galaxy S4 with a OF1 bootloader. I really and when i say really i mean it, really want a deodexed rom. I literally have been searching for days, bricking my device, and much more. All you tech savvy pros out there could you possibly help me i really wanted a deodexed rom just to download xposed and other modules. Please help, thanks again!
Either of Stang5litre's roms work and the Albe95 ports are nice too

Well the thing is I've tried stangs 3 times and got a black screen after booting past the Samsung custom bootlogo
I tried stang's, and I could only get one to connect to the network, but it kept giving me a security warning every couple of minutes. Albe's s6 rom works great after turning off the edge features.
@hooks024 @ConfudentialGUI Did you figure it out? I'm trying to figure out why some have trouble and others don't. There has to be a common connection. Let me know.
Nah I didn't even try
recovery kernel to flash on an OF1 build
So if I'm understanding this thread correctly, there is a rom I can install even with an OF1 build? I'll check these suggested roms. Big question to me is flashing a recovery kernel, what is it, where to download and instructions to install flash process.
instead of making a thread to ask i figured id just ask in this one....my girl has an i545pp with 0h7 baseband...... i've been retired from the game for a few years now but wanting know what i could do to unlock it and get here on a custom rom.... her ex has some **** on here i want wiped but though unlocking it and hooking her up would be better than a factory reset
thanks in advance

Finally got it. The first time I used Flash Fire the rom I downloaded was for the MDK build Stang rom. Working back through it I realized what I'd done, checked my download list and flashed everything correctly. I'm going through set up right now. It is so refreshing to not have to look at that damn Verizon boot image! Once again, thanks to all the collaborators and usual suspects that put all this together.

OK. It's a mystery. I have the same device, but I can switch roms freely. Can you pm me with a description of how you rooted and what you did after. Also, I have tried installing xposed on stang5litre... the result was a reacquainence with my old friend Odin. I would like to figure out why some can flash stang and others cannot.
Thanks.
I have had no trouble with stang's ROM on my phone or my friend's s4... Albe's ROM had some problems that I eventually solved. Still running Stang's ROM
