I read in a thread where someone told a person to try and flash another ROM, although it wasn't a sprint variant. Can we do this? The ROM in question is this one:

It says it supports other Variants, but does it support Sprint?

I would say probably not:
"FULL MULTI-CARRIER SUPPORT FOR T-MOBILE/ATT USA VARIANTS, T-MOBILE/ATT CANADIAN VARIANTS, AND THE INTERNATIONAL SM-N9005!"
All those are very similar GSM phones.
I thought so......but I think this was directed to a sprint user from someone else.

At the thread everyone keeps linking for stock ROMs, http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 there are NO US stock ROM's, let alone for my carrier, T-Mobile.
What's up with that?
Also, when I try to dial the *#1234# it from that post, my phone says Unable to Process Request, so I can't do that to help find the right ROM.
None of the US carriers use the original I9100 hardware, so they have their own ROMs and their own forums. For example, the Galaxy S 4G forums are for T-Mobile USA's variant of the Galaxy S II; you should be able to find ROMs there that will work on that device.
Got it thanks!
I'm wondering if anyone has done this and what it does (if anything) to the available frequencies. I'm hoping that an unlocked international variant with the developer ROM will allow access to the 1700/2100 frequencies, so the device could be used on TMo USA. Is this possible, or are the available frequencies simply not affected by the installed ROM?
Thanks.

As of right now, you will likely brick the phone if you flash a firmware not designed for your version of the phone. I don't think anyone has figured out how to flash the radio separately from the firmware yet. I'm holding off buying the 920 until someone figures it out

Bummer. Thanks anyway.
May have to go with an unlocked Rogers, but the branding and lack of colors beyond black and (eventually) yellow is disappointing.
I have the verizon vs985 and alot of the roms I see are for the international verison. I mean its the same phone minus the baseband/apn. I would like to try out miui but its not for vs985. Seems the carrier variants are to lock-dow maybe? If I new how to build a rom I would. If this is in the wrong thread then please remove.
Probably been answered somewhere, but for the life of me can't find it spelled out anywhere clearly.
I have a Note 2 SCH-R950 (US Cellular) and I want to try a lollipop rom. I don't see any for my particular device. I'm hoping that another version's ROM might work. The phone isn't activated so I don't need the cellular radios to work anyway. Can it be done? Extra steps needed?
I was curious if anyone that had unlocked the AT&T version of the duo has been able to use the esim functionality.
The AT&T version does not support esim. I am trying to get an unlocked rom to test but so far did not find a copy of the image yet

If you could give a heads up if/when you do, that'd be great. I'll do likewise.
My other question is, there shouldn't be any issues flashing an unlocked stock ROM on an unlocked AT&T device should there?
Hardware wise, are they identical? With the differences merely being the preinstalled bloat, and it being (software) locked to a network?
