Around 6 months ago I had my phone flashed over to Pageplus cellular. I am now looking for a ROM that I can use and need some guidance on what my options are. I understand that some ROMs could mess up my flash, so I need to definitely avoid those.

AS OP is trying to change from an small carrier rom into a more common one, please DO NOT make this a best rom discussion. Thanks all.

Hi there, I am helping my girl upgrading her line. I am able to root and flash the ROM, but have no idea what phone she should get, then what ROM I should flash.
I have T-MO GS2 and I have flashed more ROMS than I can think of. For her, I don't mind doing all the work but need a phone to start and then a ROM. As I don't have Verizon, can you assist in pointing me in the right phone and ROM direction?
(As I would only flash her ROM every so often, I am honest and have not read all of the Verizon forums to educate myself on those phones, but would appreciate your personal preference)
So I'm hearing that the international version and the US T-Mo version are different, and it's easy to brick the T-Mo version if you use the intl guide for rooting.
Can someone please be clear about what needs to be done for rooting the T-Mo variant? This is serious business, messing with a brand new phone on a 2 yr contract.

Anyone know how to root the T-Mo HTC One S yet?
Personally, I'm not looking to install ROMs, I just want root, so I can use Titanium to back up apps and appdata and maybe a couple of other things that require root.

Same here. I'm not ready for ROMs quite yet, despite coming from daily flashes of CM9/AOKP on my Nexus S, but I'd sure as hell like to get root and get rid of all this godawful T-Mo bloatware, at the very least.
how can using root for international version brick the tmobile version ??
its not possible, the only way you brick your phone is by not following the instructions

I read a post in the developer section where someone said it was a different process. Maybe a bit more clarification is all we need. Coming from a T989 if I tried to use an international root method this would not go so good..
I just got my t-mobile one s.. Unlocked bootloader- flashed the recovery- then installed su... No problems.
I'm wondering the same. How different is different? I got the GSII for tmobile and buyers remorsed when I quickly realized there was hardly any rom support because of how different it was from the International version. I'm coming from the Vibrant community where variants were heavy but most things were relatively similar in the end. This makes me wonder if each different One S needs its own thread like the Galaxy S series.

Can you please outline the exact process that you used?

I think you must have read something different. It's absolutely not any easier to brick the T-mo version. You must be mistaken. It's actually hard to brick (as in impossible to recover) a phone if your not messing with the radio.

Unlock the bootloader using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
After that I used the superboot file found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577831
Now your phones rooted.
If you want to install a custom recovery I could only get the "Interim Touch (Custom CWM)" found in the all in one tool to stick.
Well, I just spent 6 hours trying to root my .629 droid global 2, I did it. I was wondering where can I get a list of kernels I can use with stock 2.3.4? OR can I even do this? Sorry I spent hours looking online for kernels and I couldn't find anything. I did own a optimus 1 and have some experience with this stuff but is it much different than going into recovery and flashing the kernel?
In fact if someone would be nice enough to convince me to get a rom, this would be much easier. but after looking into it, it seems ridiculously hard to put a rom on these things unless someone can tell me different? I'm looking for something like CM 7 because that was what I was used to on my LG O1. Unless the stock rom on this right now would get me better battery than the CM 7? Thank you in advance.
Nowhere.
There are no custom kernels.
The bootloader is locked and encrypted.
You cannot install a custom kernel.
There are custom ROMs though and they don't really need a lot of work to install.

isnt the bootloader bypassed by boostrapper/rom manager?
I was just about to install CM7 after reading your post and another member was saying it won't work because I'm on GSM and I need to flash to froyo and then to cm7?
if you need to band unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...d and Band unlock Droid 2 Global with 629 ROM
if you just need a rom that works well, with gsm

Ok so i have a new samsung galaxy s5 and i am a noob at flashing and everything but i flashed alliance rom for my phone but then i dont get any data signal or anything. so i restored my stock firmwire and everything went back to normal. then i tried flashing the m.o.a.r rom it works perfectly but i like alliance way better but i cant use alliance because i dont get any service at all. i am using SM-G900P with virgin mobile as my carrier. idk if i am doing something wrong here but it doesnt make sense that i dont get any data service at all,no data icon,and no first time set up like i get with the m.o.a.r rom i flashed. i would appreicate it if someone would point me in the right direction thank you.
that rom isn't made for your phone model, meaning its not a unified rom and doesn't have the right apns for your carrier's data connection. best thing to do is stay with a rom made for your phone model or find a unified rom.

it does show there but, if you really want that rom on your phone you'll need to read and search that rom thread for your phone model (g900p or try searching for sprint) and see if and how anyone got it to work on theirs. from my trys with that rom in the past i couldn't get it to work on my g900p phone. as for a rom to try , go with m.o.a.r. (lots to customize) or try a cm/asop unified rom (can customize allot with those roms too). or try all roms and become a flash-o-holic like most people on here including me. but i would say honestly, stay with any rom from the sprint galaxy s5 section as this is your first time flashing roms till you get the hang of it and really know what you are doing so you dont end up with a paper weight good luck and have fun!.

Hi Everyone!
I was hoping someone with more experience could answer something for me. Does anyone know if we can flash international roms on the n920W8 canadian note 5?
I remember back when I had a t-mobile note 5, I could flash international roms as long as i flashed a working kernel and flash audio call fix.
I would love to try international roms, but I can't seem to get them to boot up.
Any help would greatly be appreciated and I will certainly remember to hit your thanks button!!!
Yes you can.
Spend some more time reading around for w8 specific content/how to so I don't misinform you.
I use the n5 express version 5 from rmarinella http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/development/rom-n5-express-1-0d-t3326638
I've tried some others that require doing some extra stuff to get working.
But that rom I install it and it works how I like with almost nothing I do not like.

Awesome and thank you for the reply. I did get that rom to boot up, but for whatever reason I can't get any of the other roms to boot at all.
