I have my T-mobile Galaxy S5 that I love, but my buddy offered me his Sprint Note 3 for $175. It's in flawless condition. Now, I can root and install a custom recovery myself. The phone is bone stock right now. Will that unlock it so I can use it on T-mobile? I'm pretty sure it will.

What's up guys I'm a noob to this whole android community but already I prefer it over the iPhone community. I have a Verizon s4 with the latest update. It has a bad esn, do I have to wait for an unlock to connect it to cricket wireless or is that possible now. Wasn't sure if that update affected the unlock process. Forgive my noob ish questions. But thanks
S4 unlock Bad ESN 2 CricKet?

Lol, thanks for nothing.
So the phone is stolen or something? I know you can use it on gsm network?
Sent from my VZW Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4
Umm, I'm pretty sure why no one answered is because it's not possible. Just a thought. Typically if someone has a way to do it, it will be in the development section. I think you can only use the device with an operator that has sim cards. (except for sprint, I haven't seen any confirmation there.) since, Iirc, cricket is all cdma based there is no way to get the S4 on their network. Someone can correct me if my understanding that is off.

Yup. The S4 is GSM unlocked, but carrier locked to VZW on CDMA. Of course, there's a chance a custom rom could overcome that, but since I'm on MDK I can't run any custom roms.

Ok cool. I came across a really good deal, so i was wondering if it was worth it. Thanks guys.

Try this thread, I'm not sure about cricket but pageplus uses Verizon's network and the s4 can be flashed to work. PM viper who posts in that thread and he can help you. Guy is completely legit.
i understand that the sprint n2 data partition is different, but if we changed that mount point within the install script could we feasibly install it and it work after we flashed the config file as well? i know this is probably a dumb question, but it was one that came to my mind after venturing off into the sprint n2 forum. thanks!
Not unless you intend on using your device... I think developers can help put those features on another device, if it isn't for your model, don't flash. You'll save yourself tons of headaches.

i figured so.. damn, i was hoping it was possible by pointing the data mount in updater script to where the i605s data partition is located

Actually, I was reading up this morning about AT&T ROMs on the Verizon Note 2 and it is not only doable, but also works pretty well. When done from what I just said (Flashing AT&T to Verizon) you are obviously locked out from Verizon and 4G LTE but if you have an AT&T or any GSM SIM for that matter it will work. The only real issue is GPS not working, for some reason our devices don't like the GPS setup from any ROM's other than Verizon's.

Some of us have not switched to att from vzw.
Gps not working happens on some unlucky T0ltevzw roms,also.
The end user doesn't want borked modems on lte.
Yes, I know it has an hspa+ modem...

same thing happens with t-mobile too. somehow there has to be a way to get the att/tmo roms working on the i605. the t0lte roms work on the i605, so why the hell won't the att/tmobile?
So can someone confirm or disagree that flash a T-Mobile or International Note2 CM ROM to the Verizon Note 2? Is a good idea if I want to completely shout off the Verizon Radios and only use GSM?

Ok, just checking in here, I have roms built for this device, TMO and the International flavor.
I see root has been established as well as a recovery method, am I right here?
I will need a couple testers. PM me if anyone is interested in getting VisionX rolling here.

I really appreciate it, umm we need to get this rom posted very soon, so lets run it up the flagpole and see who salutes, VisionX s4 turned out to be successful, I see no reason why it can't be done here, I will start with the official TMO release, followed by the international one.:good::good:

these are really great Ax. you should definitely think about building the S5 for the note 3. also the S5 will most likely get a software update tomorrow as at Uncarrier they said it will be added to the list of voLTE capable phones.
I'm with Verizon and looking to get a new phone with a unlocked bootloader . I am currently on s4 using safestrap. Any suggestions would be appreciated
If you want an unlocked boot loader, don't use Verizon...
Hmm, buy from Google play store?

There are security measures on the phone through knox to stop us from rooting this phone. Carrier specific I think to Verizon and AT&T looks like we might have to wait a while

Yes 5.02 had the exploit which was patched in the 5.1.1 update. And to add insult to injury if you flashed to 5.1.1 there's no flashing back (even using ODIN with stock builds) to 5.02. A lot of people permanently lost root this way.
I read that Verizon and AT&T will not boot anymore if rooted. It will show a black screen and message that the phone was rooted.

I have had 6 different Samsung devices and rooted all. Never had a single issue. I love rooting. So far I am surviving without it. I figure it might take a month or two til it's obtained. Canadian variants usually get root with T-Mobile.
