I am trying to send S4 to Europe, and idk what rom to put it so it will work the best over there since phone will stay there.
So I was thinking.
Can I put rom from that country on my galaxy S4 from Verizon? or would that made I bunch of problems?

First thing to check is the model of the phone. Look on the label under the battery. If it says "GT-I9100", then you're in the right place.
HOWEVER, since you say that the phone was modded to work on Verizon, there is about 0.001% chance that it is an I9100, since the I9100 is a GSM phone, and Verizon is a CDMA network.
The phone could possibly be an SPH-D710, which is the Sprint GS II, (aka Epic 4g Touch), or maybe an SCH-R760, which is the US Cellular GS II. These are the only two CDMA versions of the Galaxy SII that I know of. If it is one of these, for SURE DO NOT USE any firmwares or kernels from this (I9100) forum.
The Epic 4g Touch has a separate forum, and the SCH-R760 doesn't have a forum on XDA at all, at the moment. But I did find related threads for this model in the Epic 4g Touch forum.
how do i flash my phone
i have a samsung galaxy s2 sch-r760 that i bought on ebay. i was told it was flashed to verizon, but it didnt work. it is currently on u.s. cellular which is cdma plz help
Hello wonderful people!
I have a question for you. I have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, rooted, with Team Win recovery and Carbon Rom. On my old S1 and S3, I could run Verizon roms without any issues. However, I've noticed with this phone that i have run roms labeled as being specifically for USC or my phone won't fully boot. It seems like about half of the roms here also have a USC version, but I'd love to be able to run all the roms
Does anyone here know a workaround for this problem?
This information is just from my own experience. Does anyone have any more intelligent insight?
Does anyone know why the S4 is more picky about roms than the S3 was? Is there something that can be unlocked?

Bump?
Have you checked the Sprint forums also? I would read around, now that Sprint "owns" USC, things might be better for you over "there"
I recently got a galaxy note buts its the tmoble version t879, and i wanted to know if i can run these roms on the t moble version, there are no roms on the tmoble version of the note's page. I mean that page is beyond dead. i did some research and found out the i717 can run t879 roms because the phone are about identical, only the i717 have lte. so if this page is alive can someone tell me if i can run these rom on my t879, you would be great help.
Another question im using a att sim card in the t879, and it was working fine when the phone was stock, but after a put a new rom i no longer get service at all. sould a flash an att modem?
Thanks in advance:laugh:

As far as I know, they are 100% compatible. Many folks rum them on Tmobile. I beleive you other issue is the same as everyone else too.
You will just have to flash away with different modems to find one that works in you area.
I am not the modem master, but I saw this post a couple days ago and still no answer for you.
Flashing the different modems will not hurt you. They either work or they dont.
Good luck. Run a search

Hi i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Sm-G925R6 that im trying to return back to stock firmware.
The phone is from a cell phone service provider called CellCom out in Wisconsin. Cellcom uses Verizons towers to get LTE out in rural areas of Wisconsin
I purchased the phone and thought it would be an easy fix returning back to stock. The previous owner did not know what he was doing as he loaded the rom and forgot to make a back up of his Stock Firmware
The full model number of the phone is Sm-G925RZWALRA on the back sticker of phone with imei
on the box sleeve model number: SMG925RZWAL
which from my understanding the last 3 letters "LRA" stands for LTE in Rural Areas
The Fcc ID:A3LSSMG925V
Baseband Version G925R6WWU2AOF2
I am currently running CleanROM 1.5-Edge OE2 for the Verizon S6 edge with no issues besides having to sign back into my wifi
and all other Verizon Roms work fine on the phone as well.
Im currently using T-Mobile in Chicago on the phone with no issues and full LTE speeds working
But i would like to use The android pay app as sometimes i am forgetful and tend to forget my wallet. And with custom roms the android version can not be verified
I have tried using the stock firmwares for verizon both 5.1 and 5.0.2 to try to return the phone to stock but it fails in odin.
I have also tried using US Cellulars Stock firmware since theyre model number the galaxy s6 Edge is SM-G925R4 pretty similar to mine as mine is Sm-G925R6 but that has also failed in Odin.
I do like the debloated Rom but would rather have Android pay just in case of emergencies .
Thanks in advance for any help.
Omg glad that I'm not the only one with the cellcom version, I have been looking everywhere for what to do since I didn't want to install the wrong firmware and brick my s6 edge I have the same model number but I updated mine the day I got it which didn't change the android version. Finally, 5 minutes ago found a stock rom it's for a appellation wireless, same mode number "smg925r6wwu2aof2" as me. LINK

Where did u find ur rom? Can i just use any rom for s6 edge? I want to ask before I take my chances and mess up my phone, since I see you are more brave than me, I rely on having a phone.

i think so are they able to use g900f roms then yes
Anybody actually do this? I have a G900W8, but I'd like to put a T-Mobile ROM on it so I can use their Wifi Calling feature.
But proceeding cautiously. Might have to use a different modem? I don't imagine you can just flash a G900T ROM onto it. But I haven't played with this stuff since I tried a T-Mobile ROM on an ATT i747 years ago on an S3.
From scouring the forums, not finding much in the way of people trying this.
