[Q] L9 metro pcs to Tmobile bootloader - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

I just bought an L9 P679 metro pcs
at my local best buy for 99 bux
i carrier sim unlocked it so it can accept a tmobile sim chip and lock in to the network
i will plan to use it as my main phone
current android specs as follows
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1305.00
Kernel Version 3.0.31
Build Number JZO54K
Software Version LGMS76910e
Questions
1
when it boots you see the LG logo Followed by the metro pcs splash screen then the home screen
Changing the bootloader to Tmobile will make the METRO splash go away and instead see the Tmobile splash creen ?
2
I saw Tmobile US bootloader and Some Euro version that many people looks to love
What is the diference between the 2
3
Do i need to Unlock the bootloader to i can install CWM and the install CM10.1
or i need to root only
4
I saw a Tmobile Radio update file
do you need to apply that patch to your phone so it works better, like having better reception ? or
i just leave that alone
the method of rooting and boot unlock the L9 , seems to be more complicated than when i installed CWM and
Flashed my Samsung Exibith 4G with CM10.1
btw
altough the L9 is not a snapdragon dual core, the dual core TI chipset churns nice
i was playing with it and there is night and day speed increase between my Galaxy exibith 4g ( 1 core ) vs the L9 ( dual core )
not to say the bigger screen
but for 99 bux is the poors man Galaxy S2
Thanks for your time guys
Max.
Thanks

[Q]Completed Verizon S3 SCH-I535 Root & Unlock, Question About Different Carrier SIM

[Q]Completed Verizon S3 SCH-I535 Root & Unlock, Question About Different Carrier SIM
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 running Android 4.1.2.
I just completed the xda-dev installation "Root, Custom Recovery, and Unlocked Bootloader for Jelly Bean OTA (4.1.1 or 4.1.2)" showing as updated 3/5/[2013]. I completed all five steps. [Note, I chose to install the CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.2.3 instead of TWRP Recovery 2.4.3.0].
Regarding Step 5 - Restoring your Jelly Bean Bootchain, does this do anything to undermine the unlocking of the cellphone?
When I go to "System Settings" ... "About Phone" ... "Status", at the bottom under "Device status" it says "Modified".
My goal of course was to be able to take this cellphone, install a new SIM card from a different carrier, then use it either on either the "Global", "LTE / CDMA", or "GSM / UMTS" basis.
Before I go tramping around popping in different carrier SIM cards, I wanted to pose this question to the community.
Thanks much.
Remember a Verizon i535 only has Band 13 LTE, so it won't work on many other carriers, (like ATT, TMobile, Rogers, most outside the US).
Band 13 is Verizon only. ATT is Band 4 and 17, Rogers is Band 4, not sure on TMO yet, haven't honestly looked.

T-Mobile Accepts Unlocked Verizon S3 Phones
In going online and speaking with T-Mobile, they do accept unlocked Verizon Galaxy S3 cellphones on their network.
In fact, T-Mobile has a link set up directing potential customers to a website where you can purchase the unlock key for $29.99. I believe once you have paid you can unlock and relock as needed. However for change of carrier purposes, T-Mobile does accept unlocked Verizon S3 phones.
Also, Straight Talk states they accept unlocked Verizon S3 phones. I believe Straight Talk may be using the T-Mobile Lte network.
I would appreciate comments on the above after anyone researches out what I found above, and to correct any errors.
Thanks, Bruce.

[Q] At&t S4 simunlock help

Hi all
I am newbie to the android world, i was gifted an at&t. S4 i337 model for new year. It was purchased as an unlocked device so it can work in india, but it wasnt,when i load my indian sim ,s4 always prompts with simunlock code.
I read lot of the xda thread to overcome this , intially s4 was in 4.2.2 MF3 build, i was able to root the device but i wasnt able to unlock for international band. So i updated to 4.3 using the thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080" since most of the reviews had positive feedback for unlocking. My software version got updated to 4.3 mk2 build But to my notice after this s4 loads with custom unlocked padlock symbol and rooting dosent work, it always fails when i run the supersu app in disabling knox step.
I followed every step as it said in the thread ,but failed every single time, the thread says it will work only with stock rom, since it boots with custom is this the reason for failure. How can i recover from this. Ur help will be appreciated, i have my s4 unused for past 1 month because of this.
Thanks

Unlock for TracFone SIM?

Ok, so today is my mom's 52nd birthday and she is currently using a TracFone running (I think) on Verizon's network but her phone is a P.O.S. Galaxy Core Prime and she hates it.
I bought this phone (Model: LGLS990, Android ver.: 5.0.1, Build #: LRX21Y & Software ver.: LS990ZVE) I just want to know: Can I unlock it for her SIM (As in stay on her current plan but on the LG G3 with those system software)?
She does not care for root so if I have to to unlock, I will and, if so, could I revert back to stock and still keep the network unlock otherwise what she don't know won't hurt her.
Please help, this is gonna be her b-day gift (I hope, if I can do this)
I'm going to assume that this is not possible since there have been 50 + views but not a single reply....

No you cannot. If it was on Verizon's network defiantly no. If on AT&T/T-Mobile then possibly if you run a custom rom for GSM.
