Custom recoveries and custom rom are not possible on the AT&T i527 mega due to a locked bootloader only root is posible on this version of the mega. .unless the bootloader can be unlocked this will stay the same to not flash custon recoveries or roms.

Depends on the exact model. AT&T (G900A) and Verizon's S5s have the bootloader locked, but T-Mobile's (G900T) is not at this point. With TMO's S5 you can root and even install some ROMs without tripping Knox if you are careful. But if you install a custom recovery then Knox will trip. Although some say tripping Knox is not a problem. I tripped it when I installed Phil's touch recovery and have flashed many ROMs with no issues. I'm currently using Omega Rom and have no issues at all. I'm using a G900T on AT&T. The G900T has all the same frequencies and LTE bands as the G900A, plus a few special ones for TMO, but most importantly, no locked bootloader.

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.

You will not be able to flash a recovery. Only people with the old MDK boot loader can.

My recommendation to you mate is that you root using the desktop version of king root, replace it with SuperSU, install flash fire beta, then install Strang5Litre ROM. Probably one of the best most stable Roms (and the only one out there at the moment) Everything you need is in the general section
