I want to convert my T-mobile (sm-g925t) to the international version so I can get OTA updates faster thatn T-mobile users. I know I can just flash International ROMs but I'd rather have the stock firmware instead. Does anyone know how to convert from T-mobile to International? is it even possible on Galaxy devices? I've done a tone of research and I haven't found anything that can help me with this. It is possible to do this on HTC devices, for example I converted my T-mobile HTC One to Developer Edition HTC One by changing the MID and CID, but I don't know about Samsung devices.

Hi all.
I have one of the AT&T Atrix phones, and was wondering whether, when my local carrier (Telstra) bring out their own branded version, it will be possible to install the Telstra firmware over the AT&T one. Perhaps when they bring out the update to 2.3?
I know the bootloader will only allow signed firmware, but I'm wondering whether they also check whether you're trying to install firmware from a different carrier or not. If not, it could be a way to get both localised features as well as remove some of the AT&T restrictions.
Any thoughts?
For anyone interested, it turns out that this is possible to do (but may cause reception issues because their firmware will be for the international version of the Atrix, which has different radio capabilities).
Thanks for the info. I was wondering the same thing. Could you keep us informed if you hear anything else?
I was wondering if I purchased the SGSII from a US carrier when it finally comes out then root the device and install the rom for the international version of the phone, would that basically convert the device to the international version and allow you to install updates and patches from Samsung when they are available in Europe instead of waiting for your carrier to get around to releasing it?
Hi all,
On the Note 2 they were able to flash 7105 rom, which is a LTE EU rom, on the AT&T version.
Don’t anyone thinks it will be able to do the same thing on the HTC One with the 801n and the AT&T version?
I'm brining this up just because of the updates and the bloat ware.
Thanks,

On the One XL, we've been able to flash ROMs with both European and Asian bases. The ROM base doesn't really matter as long as it's the same phone hardware.
You can as long as they have the same dev name. Easiest way to check is to look at hboot and see the name. Just know that flashing AT&T ROMs/801n ROMs will not unlock any new radio bands.
Hello, i have a Tmo HTC One
so i want to convert to Developer edition or International version (UK) to receive OTA updates quickly and directly from HTC.
So from where i have to start?
I didn't do anything before (still noob )
No one can help me?
Hey!
Its been a longtime that I've had a android phone!
I know its a silly question but can somebody let me know if I can flash a T-Mobile ROM on a AT&T HTC One?
I know hardware wise they are same, but just want to make sure.
Also, I know there is nothing as best ROM.
But can anyone suggest me 2 ROM's with minimum issues?
One Stock ROM, other themed ROM.
PS: - I like the HTC Sense

Any gsm(att, tmobile, international) rom should work on your phone. Just make sure, when flashing, select the att files if applicable. Also when flashing, use the kernel that is compatible with you device. So Elemenalx or teamm7 kernel.
I would suggest flashing ROMs from the international HTC one thread because there are a lot more ROMs avaliable. I am picking between insert coin or the viper one rom. Both are stable and on the latest version of sense and Android. Insert coin has a theme if you install the kustomizer. Another rom that is not as stable is the RENOVATE rom. It has a full theme and amazing battery life.

The ATT One and T-Mobile One are NOT the same.
The TMO unit has a different radio chipset to be able to operate on T-Mobiles 1700 / 2100 paired set. The ATT unit does not have these.

As your phone is SIM-unlocked, it shouldn't turn it locked when you flash the new update. At least, it didn't so to my SIM-unlocked AT&T HTC One.
