Is there a CM12 Rom for are T-Mobile Galaxy S5? I have looked all over and with searching I found lots of CM12 roms but they are not for T-Mobile and I don't want to Brick my phone so I don't want to change it. I don't see any at all in the T-Mobile section of XDA.

You can run ANY of the CM12 based Roms in the unified development section. As long as they say they are for the "KLTE" they will work on the T-Mobile version.
I run Temsek's CM12 rom on mine.

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G for TMobile. Im interested in rooting it and using a custom rom. But most of what I'm seeing if for the WiFi or LTE version.
Anyone know if the TMobile 4G version can be rooted and which custom rom I can used on it?

this question should be posted in the Q&A or General section bro. There are no Roms for that version tablet that I know of yet.
no roms, but you can flash my kernel on your stock rom.
_tmo in filename.
Oops, my bad. Can a mod move this to the proper section?

I've been looking in the dev section and see some recoveries and such but everything seems to be for the international model. Not new to this stuff, have rooted Epic 4g with many different roms, but considering getting this phone and want to know if I'll be able to install different roms and kernels.

Go to the US forum for the S3, this is the thread for the International S3
There you find a toolkit by Mskip to root your phone.
Hey to all. This is my first post here, even though I have been using the wonderful advice of XDAers for quite some time now. My questions is this. I am looking to flash a custom kernel to my phone, but have not been able to figure out if I would require a specific kernel for my phone (techinally a T999V, but flashed with TMO rom, so a T999) or can I use any kernel from any Glaxy S3 variant? I know with ROMs you must ensure the correct one is used or you end up with a paper weight. Would the same be true for kernels as well? If I did happen to have a bad flash, would ODIN/NANdroid save my bacon?
Mmmmm...Bacon...
Thanks in advance guys and gals! Looking forward to being a contributing memer to this site, and helping out wherever I can!

Just like when flashing ROMs it is even more important to make sure the kernel your flashing is specifically meant for your device. That being said I would recommend taking a look at this guide that's lists available Touchwiz and AOSP kernels for the T999 Galaxy S3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36426656&postcount=2. Only flash kernels for your version of the Galaxy S3 and never flash an international version Galaxy S3 kernel on a US/Canada version Galaxy S3. It is sometimes possible to recover from a bad flash through a NANDROID backup, oftentimes a ODIN restore will be needed.Let me know if you still have questions .

Awesome, thanks! So in other words, I need to ensure my kernel is specifically for the T999 or T999V model of GS3, I cannot use one for ATT or VZW or anything, dtrictly TMO T999 or T999V...
Thanks!!!
Part 2 - I dont quite understand the difference between TW and AOSP, as during my learning days AOSP and AOKP were explained to me in a false way...Thanks!

Yes, you need to ensure the kernel you are flashing is specifically for the T999 or T999V model the of the Galaxy S3. DO NOT use one for ATT, SPR, VZW, etc. only for the T999 or T999V. In answering your second question, TW stands for Touchwiz which refers to the proprietary skin and features Samsung includes in it's ROM it is what the stock ROM that ships with your phone is based on. When browsing ROM threads, the threads title will indicate whether the ROM is based on Touchwiz (TW) or AOSP. AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project and refers to ROMs that have been compiled from source using the Android Open Source Project source code and guidelines ROM thread titles will mention if the ROM is based on AOSP. Many popular ROMs such as Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Paranoid Android, and others are based on the AOSP. AOKP refers to the Android Open Kang Project it is based on a combination of AOSP and Cyanogenmod source code but includes it's own set of unique features and enhancements, you can learn more about AOKP here.
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been posted before but I haven't been able to find my answer by searching.
I am considering an S5 and am hoping to be able to run custom ROMs and have a real recovery. I would like to get service with Cricket as they are significantly cheaper than ATT or TMOB. Will ROMs work across carriers, or do they have carrier-specific code?
Also, I am hoping to run a vanilla Lollipop ROM, do these use a custom kernel or are they based on stock? I have always had issues with non-stock based kernels and tend to go for 'GPE' type ROMS.
Thanks!

If you want an AOSP ROM for the S5 you must buy one that isn't the G900A. The ATT one has a locked bootloader and can not run a custom kernel. The only option you have is a touchwiz rom on the G900A. If you get the tmobile one you can use whatever you like I believe.

I'm sorry, originally I put G900T in the title, thought I had specified that. I definitely don't want an AT&T phone unless I go with an active. Hoping to find out if the vanilla lollipop kernels for this phone are stock or not and if any/all custom roms are able to be used on Cricket with a simple SIM swap or if there is another procedure for it.

Buy a T-mobile one, then you can run whatever you want. Make sure you get it SIM unlocked so your Cricket SIM will work. As for Carriers, there is no difference what SIM you have in there. It will still work.

I'll ask a mod to move this to the tmobile forum for you. I think they may be more helpful. We are strictly touchwiz here on the G900A whether we like it or not sadly.
Thread moved to T-Mobile Q&A forum as this is what the OP is looking for.
Hello everyone,
Let me preface this by saying that I have googled this extensively and used the search feature on XDA but so far I have come up with no clear results. Apologize if this has been asked before (it probably has). I hope you guys can help me by providing me with some definite answers.
Background:
I've been researching about getting Lollipop on my device (I had it on my rooted sprint s4 and I miss it dearly). I've heard that the MetroPCS S5 is the exact phone as the T-Mobile S5. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to confirm whether that's the case or not. I have a MetroPCS S5 (SM-G900T1), and I would greatly appreciate it if you guys took the time to answer these questions for me:
1) Are they really the same phone?
AFTER SIM-UNLOCKING THE PHONE
2) Can I put T-Mobile S5 custom recoveries on the Metro Version?
3) Can I put T-Mobile S5 custom ROMs on the Metro version?
If the answers to question 2 and 3 is "NO" then where can I find a place where people are developing for the MetroPCS S5 or that place doesn't exist?
Thank you all for reading and for any help.
1) They are mostly the same as they do use the same network.
2) Any KLTE recovery will work.
3) Any KLTE rom SHOULD work, check the OP of the roms developer. Any KLTE AOSP rom will work.
Here is a site showing the recoveries are the same. -->HERE<--

You can actually flash the stock firmware and have the new modem and everything.(won't have metro bloat anymore but will have tmo which you can delete all that and grab metro bloat if you wanted it) But yes firmware, recoveries, roms, etc

Thank you for your reply. It's cool to hear everything is compatible although I'm still very nervous about trying it lol
Can you expect in the distant future a way to install a custom recovery without tripping the knox count (I believe that's what it's called)? As far as I know there's no way to reset that.

Doubtful that Knox will be figured out anytime in the near future. And you are correct, you cannot reset it once it's tripped.
But if you look around at the Knox threads, the vast majority of users that have tripped Knox have not had any problem getting service or warranty work. So for the most part it's a non issue.
Of course YMMV
