You forgot to tell us what ROMs you are referring to?
Find out if your bootloader is locked. If it isn't, then most custom ROMs should work for you. If you have a locked bootloader, then you can probably emulate some ROMs using the Safestrap program that is popular on Verizon.

Gsm ones can cross-flash roms.

Hey guys, just a quick question. I am coming from the att s2 and I know you had to have a process to convert the s2 international roms to work on the att version. Do we have to do that on the htc one att version?
Can I flash international roms and have everything working ok? will i need to install any different modems or any other fixes?
No just flash

Is it possible to flash a sprint tw rom with safestrap as long as I use the right kernel?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
No, safestrap does not touch kernel and the sprint kernel is different. Safestrap can only run roms using the stock vzw tw kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
This is not entirely true. The kernel from a Sprint ROM is still a TW kernel, and it is possible to use other carrier ROMs, but there's possibility you'll run into many issues.

I know, but it is still possible. The kernels are not entirely different, and so there's a pretty good possibility it will run. Just like i said, there will be issues. Safestrap can still run cross carrier, it's possible to run international and people with AT&T phones on safestrap have reported using VZW roms, so it should still work.

Yes but the rom needs the stock kernel that they are running in his case he needs the mk2 kernel to whatever rom he's running already ported into the rom.

The ROM does not need the stock kernel in it. It just needs to be compatible with the stock kernel. Just like on unlocked bootloaders how you can run different ROM's with just the stock kernel, we can too. It does not need to be made specifically with the MK2 kernel, it just needs to be compatible with it which is different and much more possible.
Any word of a recovery coming out soon??? Or roms being developed?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Not until the bootloader gets unlocked unfortunately, whether or not that's being worked on is unknown to me. At the moment the only variant that has an unlocked bootloader by default is D851 "T-Mobile"
Sorry but if you wanted a phone you could run custom roms on you unfortunately picked the wrong one. If you want stock with xposed tweaks then you got the right one.

Are we to assume an LS990 since you're in the sprint forum? If that's the case, share your successful unlock method.

I believe you cannot since different variants have some differences between them. You would have to flash sprint based rom and then reunlock it.

What are the differences ? Boot img or bootloader

I thought there was a hardware difference to, but I believe it's the location of things on the file system is different too.

Some have successfully used the Cloudy ROM which is based on an international variant, but you need to read up as the LS990 requires some additional detail. Check out the non-carrier specific forums and the Sprint specific Questions and Troubleshooting.

sold my G3 now i've got note 4.
You could try cloudy g3 (on the international thread) but IT ONLY WORKS ON GSM NETWORKS NOT SPRINT. ITS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE(S).

Minor hardware differences exist even between ls990's. But mainly the boot.img, kernels are definitely different between g3 variants. Not by much but enough where they each require a different config file when building. Modems play a role as well but I'm not sure to what degree if yours is unlocked. However I know from trying that if I flash another variant's rom, I get a secure boot error, no matter what I wipe before flashing - which is the kernel. There isn't any harm in just trying as long as you have a nandroid to restore but I was never successful getting international or even verizon roms to boot on the ls990.
Different variants use different Bluetooth chipsets, too, so even if you get an international ROM to work BT might not work.
