Crazy Theory / Idea [VERIZON]

When someone can get ahold of a sprint galaxy s3 odin (or the verizion developer edition odin though i'm pretty sure sprints will leak earlier)since the two phones are the same, can't some flash (Sprint) odin on the verizon unit, root it, unlock bootloader, then add verizon libs, rils, etc files (And eventually make it into a flash able zip) to make it actually work on the carrier. Is this just a crazy idea.
I hope this makes sense xD

Wouldn't the us cellular sg3 be better for this as it is the same phone? Don't us cellular run off Verizon towers

I think the partition table is diff, I would not odin a diff carriers tar file.

If you could do that why wouldn't you wait for the unlocked Verizon version from samsung and save your self all the work of getting rid of sprint stuff and adding in the Verizon stuff.
But don't think it will be that easy

Cuz i don't know if or when its gonna leak :/

This is already being discussed. IIRC flashing the sprint software bricked the phone. Only time will tell but I'm guessing the VZW dev software will have the same effect.

Am I wrong, I hope not? xDD

They may have changed the partition tables, thus flashing the sprint Odin could irreparably damage the phone. Esesially if the efs partitions were different.

When do you think that the vzw developer edition odin would leak.
Also I heard a rumor that sammy's gonna send out an ota that would make it unlockable

Yeah, I'm curious. Best to wait. I bet they patched Bump.

Hmm i wonder if we will hear from someone who took it. Of course, being cloudy's 10n base makes me laugh at finally getting 10f.

Cool! How does it run compared to 10d? Can you install bumped twrp? Root? I imagine it's possible AT&T included aspects from later builds, so theoretically you could get a decent jump in performance if they have.

Tried talking to AT&T to see what the update brings, they said that they couldn't see an update available, they tried looking for it for a while. But they did confirm Lollipop is coming in 1 to 2 months.

@thecubed did say that the 5.0/L update patched bump. Per this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56646539&postcount=356
I wouldn't be surprised if it's patched up here as well.
Not sure what this update is, but i'll personally be skipping it.

No doubt. They could have pulled a Samsung trick (I'm thinking the4.3 update that prevented downgrading)

Yeah the only thing is. This isn't Android L. It's a 4.4.2 incremental update. My guess is they caught on to bump. But as someone has said we can downgrade with the flash tool right now. But that might not be the case when lollipop is deployed.

since I know we can downgrade and re-root, I just took it and I'll use it for a while before reporting back in a few hours.

Unfortunately there's never been a way to convert the Verizon addition to a developer edition as far as I know. But with S OFF there is really no difference because the device is completely unlocked and you can do whatever you please with it.

Can you link me to the exact one that you are running currently? I installed the 1122 build yesterday and everything was fine until I rebooted the ROM and I lost data completely and was unable to get it back. I heard of a few others complaining of the same issue. Have you tried to reboot your phone and see if data still working with wifi off? If so and it is please link me to it exactly which version you're running thanks

I installed it a hour ago. No problems yet

I have been wanting to convert mine to a dev for a long time, and there are two different posts out on the m8 forum for this but they only work for the gsm versions such as international, tmobile and at&t. And I"am sure there has to be a way for our verizon m8 its just finding it, as ours is a world phone being both cdma and gsm, even if it had to only run on the gsm side it could still work if they get the volte update pushed out as part of L then there would be no need for cdma for us and we could just totally run off verizon lte which is actually gsm.
So this may be a possibility in the near future especially. I myself not only want the updates directly from htc which are faster but I would prefer to never ever again have to run verizon software / firmware because all verizon wants to do is lock us all out.
At least all the other carriers allow htc dev to unlock the bootloaders but verizon just likes to be total asses about this, I guess they think they are too big for there britches, for this exact reason I really wish I could switch to at&t but I dont have coverage for them at home with zero bars maybe some edge coverage 1% of the time never enough to use the phone on, and verizon is not much better with only getting 1x data and no plans to upgrade.
So I"am with all of you on this I would like to convert my verizon m8 to dev also and ditch verizon having any control over my phone ever again, as I pay them for service and not to try to lock down my phone which I"am supposed to legally own with honoring my side of the their 2 year contract.
But for that matter you can buy a phone at full retail price and they still try to lock you down.

lost Software upgrades

Hello All,
I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 phone which I used with AT&T number till April 2015. Later, I left the country and now using it with Airtel.
After I left AT&T, there were 2 software upgrades for the phone, I received none.
I checked with AT&T, they said they will not support now, contact LG.
LG said, I will get updates when it is available, but no luck.
Can someone help ?? Thanks.

@KAsp3rd is pretty much the main reason it happened. I basically just sat there and ran it because his vm is lame. It's not finalized, but yeah.
T-Mobile LG-H901 used, this might help open them all up hopefully, but no idea yet because of all different bootloaders.

Great work !!!

I'll get a good build up for it within a day or so (depending on how real life treats me)
FYI this does require fastboot unlock. So yes you will lose all of your data and yes it will only work on T-Mobile
Oh and in case you didn't catch it... After this you'll be able to root

Make sure you do backup before doing fastboot OEM unlock, and restore after that.
