As the title states, I bought an AT&T S5 for my wife for christmas. She likes some of the stock apps that tmobile offers and I was wondering if i could just install the tmobile rom on the AT&T phone with minimal risk.
Thanks for the help.

Usually people buy the t-mobile S5 to use on at&t. You could always just download a Tmo rom and pull the apks from the zip.
As for flashing a Tmo rom not to sure. Barely learned tmo S5 supports international roms.
I want to do the same thing.
I have restored 900A to old AT&T stock firmware with odin, towelroot then worked.
What is my next step now?
I want T-Mobile softcard and T-mobile call-over-wifi to work and also simply removing all the AT&T default apps.
So I want my phone to be like it came from from T-Mobile store.
A at&t and t-mobile S5 phone should be in hardware the same?
Quote:
Important Note: You may only download and install the specified stock firmware according to your Galaxy S5 phone model number. As you may not know, there are numerous versions of the Galaxy S5 in each and every countries. Each of these Galaxy S5 versions uses different firmware build, flashing a non-specified stock firmware to other Galaxy S5 variants may result into bricks. Meaning it will also causes damage to your phone and you cannot recover it by your own.
Solved my issue, not the overall thread, sorry for the confusion. (please delete this post, I can't do it from Tapatalk)

Please do tell what solution you came up with! I'm in the same predicament. I would love a Tmobile rom that supports wifi calling on my att s5 900a.

Another option, but beware, homie in the thread said Wifi Calling not working for him
Btw I decided against trying this out for now, and am just using Hangouts as a wifi calling solution

Yes, a noob (very cool noob video!) with first question. Yes I searched - be gentle with me :angel:
Brand new I717. Never had an ATT SIM in it. Took it out of the box, network unlocked it, put a USA Tmobile SIM in it, and rooted it. Nothing else done yet. Works fine, with expected lack of 3G/4G data. To get that I have to flash a modem - Blaze or similar. This much I know. Questions:
1. I travel a lot. Mostly UK, Iceland, New Zealand. Are there any gotchas with using a custom modem overseas? Which is the best all-rounder for good data performance in USA and overseas?
2. For avoidance of doubt, is there any dependency between ROM and modem? Can I flash a custom ICS ROM e.g. Goldie and worry about modem later? Are they entirely independent? (ok that qualifies as a real noob question lol)
Thanks!
Mike
Roms and modems are independent.
I suggest your next step is to Odin flash CWM recovery.
When traveling overseas most carriers use the same frequencies as AT&T. US T-mobile is pretty unusual with their dual band set up.
So in the US follow the T-mobile suggested modem (blaze) and keep the UCLF5 modem and blaze modem on your sd card. Then you can flash either one depending on the carrier you use.
Have CWM and a few modems in cwm zip format so you don't need a pc.
Many thanks ranger; Seraphim ICS & Blaze modem installed and working and looking like Android is supposed to. Had to go in and manually select carrier before phone would show a signal, but then it came up 4G right away.
Thanks again!
Mike
You might look for the local carrier in the countries you intend to visit now and take a screen shot of the local carrier's APN settings.
Example for Canadian carrier:

That way when you get your sim you can input the APN info and get right to business.
Its easy. Just google for example "vodafone iceland apn settings".

What's the real difference and should the ATT version work better on their system?

It should. Any chance in you backing up that radio image in your ATT 4.3 screenshot and sharing the img?

I would, but unfortunately I don't have the AT&T version on a phone...I just seen that screen shot. I love the Dev Edition, but maybe would try the AT&T radio if I could get it.
I know a friend with the new ota, maybe I can get a hold of his phone and snag a backup. If I do...I will post it up.

It's not my doing! Enjoy!:good:
After trying the AT&T radio for a day, I can see no difference over the Dev Edition radio I been using for a couple weeks. They both work great for me. I am using Straight Talk LTE on AT&T towers and the coverage is great throughout the city. I get excellent voice coverage and 16-25MB download speeds in most locations...a couple spots I have seen speeds under 10, but very rare with either radio. Personally I don't think there is much difference in the 2 radio. Of course based on your location, you may get different results.
i want to to know if i can get help making a rom or will someone willing make a rom using the T-Mobile System image but keep the recover and the modem i guess i want to see if there is really a way for me to make my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 be a t-mobile note 2 i would like to find a way to get the LTE to work i looked at Samsung site and Verizon uses one(LTE: Band 13 (700MHz)) of the 2 LTE that is on the T-Mobile SIII uses which are LTE: Band IV(1700), XVII(700) so i was wanting to know if the modem from the SIII on tmobile would work and if the roms from the Note 2 would work with the Verizon Recover so that the Bootloader doesnt kick on i have flashed the full t-mobile note 2 rom on mine and got to where it was about to start up into 4.1.2 and verizon kicked the bootloader on can anyone help me find a way to set this up for me and all who are taking there Verizon Note 2 to T-Mobile

Ok, I am trying to get my vzw galaxy s4 of1 5.01 (lollipop?) working with the tmobile sim. So far everything but voicemail and sms has been successful. After multiple long chats with the people at Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung I have concluded the only way to do this would be to to flash a new ROM. I am a total noob to this. I got root access with Kingroot, but I still need a custom recovery ( no idea what to use for my phone). Also, can I only use certain types of roms? Can anyone tell me how I install Odin? I have so many questions and wish there was a step by step for noobs. Please help, Any suggestions or info would be helpful and appriciated.
Unfortunately the route you're wanting to go isn't successful either. I stumbled across this link and it works, however with no LTE

I have adjusted and re-adjusted my APN with hopes of getting this issue resolved. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. I find it weird because others have had success. I can not get advanced signal status phone info option to work for this particular build and have read that others have the same issue. I know from what I have read that flashing a ROM is risky but I saw this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555 and am curious if this could be a viable option.
I was able to use the phone properly after installing the app that let's me turn off LTE. I can turn on the LTE if I need faster speed, but if someone texts me while I'm on it, I can't respond to them. I can however send MMS.
hi,
i have a verizon galaxy s4 (sch-i545) with android 5.0 made to say its a i9505, every data icon (H+,E,G,H,3G) was modified to show 4G and the battery drains in less than a hour after a full charge
is it possible to flash a stock verizon s4 jelly bean on this phone? its unusable with the "stock rom" it has.

This is not possible as the bootloader is locked up and cannot be unlocked.
If you attempt to flash another devices stock firmware, or even an older stock firmware, the security feature (aka Knox) within the bootloader will perform a check of the Firmware and immediately reflect an error message via the Odin software.
Also, the I9505 device has a slightly different architecture/hardware than the I545 variant. So... even IF the bootloader was unlocked, it wouldn't work and create a huge mess for you.
Ultimately, if you attempt any of the above items, you'll be taking a very high risk at Soft/Hard Bricking your device.
I wish you the best of luck!

i tried flashing 4.3,4.4 and 5.0.1 (newer), none worked
it just soft bricks, nothing terrible happened so far
Try flashing the latest official stock Verizon firmware. If that doesn't work try flashing the latest i9505 firmware. If you have root, grab a copy of flash fire v0.53 or 0.52 I think it is and try flashing a custom Verizon ROM like stang 5 liter.
