I mentioned in my earlier thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466088, my dilemma, and now I'm using the GS3 ToolKit
Method to try and recover. My problem is I don't know which device model and build I should use. My phone is an SGH-T999N (a t-mobile variant) but my carrier, from which I purchased the phone, is MetroPCS. I've tried several times with the T-Mobile builds, and they haven't done anything to help me. The MetroPCS build that I see listed is SCH-R530M, I'm hesistant to use it cause I'm afraid it will further damage my phone. Which build should/can I use to help?

O Man, Don't ever do that, go here this is the thread and guidance you need to follow. Its difficult to get the Original MetroPCS ROM, it came with T999NUVAME4, if you can find this ROM by googling, searching anywhere and everywhere well and good, if not understand this.
MetroPCS SGH T999N, and T-mobile LTE variant is SGH T999L, Thier FCCID is the same ending in T999L, which means its the same phone. But you you may need to change APN settings for you to connect to MetroPCS
Open APN and change settings to
apn carrier="MetroPCS LTE"
mcc="310"
mnc="260"
extraid=""
apn="fast.metropcs.com"
user=""
password=""
authtype="0"
server=""
proxy='"
port=""
mmsc="http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc"
mmsproxy=""
mmsport=""
type="default,mms,supl"
preferapp=""
so read the above link, it has all the details you need to recover your phone, thank the developer and ask any question you may have in that thread. Do not post everywhere, its important to stick with one thread that is meant for your phone.
or, you can even ask help on that thread with regards to your concern.

I have just started to use android. Galaxy S 2 is my 1st ever android device gifted by my wife on our 2nd anniversary. Even though it was bought in Lahore, Pakistan; it is 3 mobile UK branded gs2. I was about to root it watching this video: youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=KNVE0UDe-bQ
I realized that since this is branded and I cant even update it (which could mean that it is locked), I may not be able to root the device following this video. Also, I am confused since my device's build number and kernel number are pretty different (screen shot attached).
Can someone guide me easy to follow exact steps to root this device safely? If I mess up, my wife will use the brick on me .
What software would I want?
Where will I download the software from?
Where will I get the insecure kernel from?
I so want to use WIFIKILL at office

There is only one issue here.. I do not know what the ODS is as I am new here. It would be nice of you, if you would guide me with links?
You can remove network lock AFTER rooting. You can root using cfroot but ChainFire has only released cfroot for stock firmware not branded 3 firmware so you will need to flash to stock firmware, root, rhen use the network unlonk in the market. I found the CF one didnt work but the other one in the market works.
After you have done this then you can use ClockWorkMod (added with cfroot) to flash the gtalk with video.
There is alot to learn...

can root i9100G not? coz i having a problem on it
Thanks Rajesh. Let me show you the crap apps I am dealing with. The guide you are have referred to; will it work for my branded GS2?
I have another question. Can I de brand the device and get rid of all these apps without rooting it? I will not be able to use wifikill, but then if this is more complicated then rooting a non branded S2; I guess I will have to live with this! HATE IT!
Phone is now rooted!!!
Thank you everyone! My phone is now rooted and I am all set!

Dude, do not spoon feed. All you're doing is making it more likely that he and others will just post more duplicate topics instead of searching.
People like you are just as bad as people like the OP.

I have a problem. I flashed a Huawei Ascend 2 cyangenmod 10.1 rom on my Huawei u8650 and the flash went fine and the rom works perfectly all except the network from T-Mobile is not recognized.I have searched Google and been through numerous forums and threads and have yet to find the same issue or a solution. Most of the solutions ive seen say to switch CDMA Subscription from NV to Ruim/Sim but when i try that i would select Ruim/Sim but it will just switch back to NV without even trying to switch. I really need help. I can make calls but i cant txt or use my mobile data plan and i cant figure out whats wrong. someone please help, i want to keep android 4.2.1 on here but i want the phone to be able to connect to te network too.
Thanks to all those who help, i greatly appreciate it

EDIT: I just switched roms :/
As the title states, I bought an AT&T S5 for my wife for christmas. She likes some of the stock apps that tmobile offers and I was wondering if i could just install the tmobile rom on the AT&T phone with minimal risk.
Thanks for the help.

Usually people buy the t-mobile S5 to use on at&t. You could always just download a Tmo rom and pull the apks from the zip.
As for flashing a Tmo rom not to sure. Barely learned tmo S5 supports international roms.
I want to do the same thing.
I have restored 900A to old AT&T stock firmware with odin, towelroot then worked.
What is my next step now?
I want T-Mobile softcard and T-mobile call-over-wifi to work and also simply removing all the AT&T default apps.
So I want my phone to be like it came from from T-Mobile store.
A at&t and t-mobile S5 phone should be in hardware the same?
Quote:
Important Note: You may only download and install the specified stock firmware according to your Galaxy S5 phone model number. As you may not know, there are numerous versions of the Galaxy S5 in each and every countries. Each of these Galaxy S5 versions uses different firmware build, flashing a non-specified stock firmware to other Galaxy S5 variants may result into bricks. Meaning it will also causes damage to your phone and you cannot recover it by your own.
Solved my issue, not the overall thread, sorry for the confusion. (please delete this post, I can't do it from Tapatalk)

Btw I decided against trying this out for now, and am just using Hangouts as a wifi calling solution
Ok, I am trying to get my vzw galaxy s4 of1 5.01 (lollipop?) working with the tmobile sim. So far everything but voicemail and sms has been successful. After multiple long chats with the people at Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung I have concluded the only way to do this would be to to flash a new ROM. I am a total noob to this. I got root access with Kingroot, but I still need a custom recovery ( no idea what to use for my phone). Also, can I only use certain types of roms? Can anyone tell me how I install Odin? I have so many questions and wish there was a step by step for noobs. Please help, Any suggestions or info would be helpful and appriciated.
Unfortunately the route you're wanting to go isn't successful either. I stumbled across this link and it works, however with no LTE

I have adjusted and re-adjusted my APN with hopes of getting this issue resolved. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. I find it weird because others have had success. I can not get advanced signal status phone info option to work for this particular build and have read that others have the same issue. I know from what I have read that flashing a ROM is risky but I saw this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555 and am curious if this could be a viable option.
I was able to use the phone properly after installing the app that let's me turn off LTE. I can turn on the LTE if I need faster speed, but if someone texts me while I'm on it, I can't respond to them. I can however send MMS.
