I have a rooted telus fascinate 3G+ and unlocked. I am currently running it on Bell Mobility canada. I have flashed a variety of GB custom ROM's and its a happy camper although the phone thinks its I9000 now. Here is my question, i have tried xxJVP modem, TLJL3 modem, UGKC1 modem ( bell's) all of them work no problem. But when i flash the T-mobile Vibrant Modem ( KB1, KB5) etc and enable all four WCDMA bands ( 850,1900 (PCS), 1700, 2100 ( AWS)) it picks up no signal. I guess this would mean that this modem FW is not compatible with my hardware? Any thoughts.
anyone with some insight?
I had the same problem (I am on a VZW Fascinate flashing a USCC ROM) and the solution was to change the APN.

change the APN to?
Hi,
I have a Verizon S4 (SCH-1545) MK2 running Android 4.3. It is rooted and I flashed Hyperdrive 13 via SafeStrap. Then, I switched carriers to AT&T, but I am using the same Verizon S4. I am still running HD13.
I was wondering if I can upgrade to HD 16. I have to upgrade my base to NC5 KitKat 4.4.2 before I can flash HD16. Will me switching carriers have any effect on how I upgrade/root/flash HD16 and all roms in the future?
Thanks

Verizon uses CDMA and AT&T uses GSM, you may be able to get Voice working, but I highly doubt you will get an LTE connection since they are different frequencies.

Recently, they unlocked one of the bands of LTE to allow traffic in the Verizon S4. If you check the bands on phonescoops, it will show that is is compatible with one of the LTE bands. In theory, it should get LTE in the major cities that have that band. However, Verizon likes to be stupid and lock their devices.

You will be able to get GSM working on your S4 with EDGE or even 3G data, but LTE is unlikely. Voice and SMS will work fine. You will have to get the APN settings for AT&T and set it up in your phone.
I'm trying to flash a TMobile ROM on the i545 to use on TMobile. I have Insane 4.4.4 Hybrid v6 working, but the cell radio is not. I've tried flashing modules (which made the wifi work - I assume that is the module's only function). I have flashed 2 different i545 KK kernels to no effect either. I have it flashed in rom slot 1, should I be overwriting the stock rom slot? I'm running the latest NG6 (came with it updated), but can downgrade to NC5 from my understanding, if needed. I'm not sure what I'm missing to get it working, as I know others have. Thanks.
You don't need to flash a T-mobile ROM, just insert the T-mobile SIM and set the APN.
Edit: just to be clear - the i545 will work on T-mobile, but only on bands that VZ and T-mo have in common.
Flashing some other carrier's ROM won't change what frequencies are supported by the radio hardware.

Thanks. I know this, but I need the wifi calling feature that is only in tmobile ROMs.
I have a Galaxy S5 that was on the Verizon network. I now have it on the T-Mobile network with a T-Mobile sim but I still have all the Verizon crud.
I have it rooted and the bootloader unlocked. Can I just flash any T-Mobile stock/rooted rom and have it be a full T-Mobile phone?
I've rooted several Sprint & T-Mobile phone but have never done a carrier change. Currently it is on Verizon PB1 Lollipop.
Thanks to all.

I'm in the same boat.

Did you ever get it working?
No. It wasn't my phone but a friends. His main compliant was that it did not do location searches correct and I fixed that by adding the T-Mobile info. He said he would just leave the rest alone.
doesnt verizon lock its bootloaders? the device is different, it's not a G900T
slight success
i have flashed my Verizon s5 to the T-mobile based Twisted lollipop ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../rom-twi5ted-lollipop-5-0-v1-deviant-t3037766
i used this process because i had a stock 6.1 Verizon ROM which was crap.

jrkruse, guide is really helpful along with the link above.
However, i have problems with the lock screen not loading and when i turn the brightness all the way down my screen flickers with a yellow hue until i turn up the brightness. I am lead to believe that the screen flickering yellow is a hardware problem with the screen. Nevertheless, i am trying to move to a stock T-mobile Rom now even though i don't have a t-mobile kernel.
I have verizon s5 I'm attempting to do the same too... If only we could change the baseband from verizon to tmobile? I have cid 15 chip and have done the unlock. Could there be a way?

This working well? I want to convert my old Verizon S5 to T-Mobile. thx!
Flash Verizon S5 to T-Mobile
I was able to get it working! I have unlocked my Verizon S5 boot loader following the directions from the Verizon S5 page under XDA. I then flashed the sm-t900 pg2 firmware with TWRP. Everything seems working fine.

So I bought V30S from B&H a few days ago. I flashed this H930-based ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-boombox-v30-t3765275 without backing up my original one (dumb, I know).
I'm on T-mobile and don't have WiFi calling and Volte settings. Am I correct in assuming that ROM is the culprit? Can somebody help me find the original Oreo ROM that the V30S would come with (don't see it on the LG website)?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, the rom is most likely the issue. Tmobile wifi calling and volte works fine on my v30s stock unrooted rom.
As for returning to the original rom, I haven't seen any kdz for the v30s (the us998 kdz might work since the v30s is us998r, but idk).
It's possible that you'd need to have branded phone for that. I have Samsung S6 on T-Mobile PL and i've got both VoLTE and VoWIFI working.
So..there is a risk that on phone you bough from the store might not work at all. Also make sure that your sim card has activated VOLTE and WIFI Calling.

I thought others have VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling on non-T-mobile branded bootloader unlocked and rooted V30/V30+? Maybe I'm confusing it with Sprint and Verizon.

I know the stock unlocked V30S from b&h supports tmobile wifi calling and volte, but I don't know if unlocking the bootloader and rooting it would make it not work with tmobile wifi calling and volte (I think it should still work since magisk should pass safetynet)
I have since restored to the us998 oreo stock ROM and WiFi calling along with VoLTE are back. For any US998 owners I would suggest to not flash 930h based ROMs.
I just play with my recently upgraded on EE UK contract V30 (not branded EU version), and when I perform factory reset with EE sim card I checked in hidden menu IMS settings and all values was there, so I finish other settings in hidden menu for Volte and Vowifi to get them enabled and nothing happen. I decide to reboot phone to see if that will get settings appear in menu but after reboot all configuration from IMS menu gone.
I did think about and I get my wife phone to play with (she got G6 with EE software and wifi calling works on her phone).
Basically what I found so far there is no any special apps for this, only some settings in few files need to be changed.
Files which need to be changed are : cust.prop, ims_conf.xml, mapcon_conf.xml, vo_config.xml.
I'm happy to play with this but can't do much at the moment as my phone is not rooted so I don't have permission to change these files on my phone.
Does anyone know any "root only" method for latest oreo update on V30?
