I'm currently using an unlocked AT&T G2 on the T-Mobile network, but all these AT&T specific features and apps are really bugging the crap out of me. Has anyone tried installing a T-Mobile version of the stock firmware on this Model? Really didn't want to just jump in and mess up my phone without asking first.

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.

You just have to follow the guides.
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.

As far as I know, the SM-G900P is the US variant. That might be why youre having issues with service. There is an international variant of the the S5 I believe. You could try an international ROM. I've never used one and don't plan on it, so do your homework. Thats a hard one. Maybe someone else will chime in. This should probably be posted in the "General Discussion Forum" though, not to mention if it was youd probably get more help. Just saying. I don't think this is the forum for you.

I have a G900P in India we anyways dont have 4g but 3g seems to be choppy anyways.
I have installed a International rom on the G900P via a rom compatibility patch by jrkruse which is available in sprint forum here it self. ENjoy

Thanks for chimming in. As I said, I've never used an international ROM, so I really couldn't tell you where to find one. However, I know @jrkruse has a bunch of stuff concerning those types of ROMs. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts by him concerning international ROMs. I may be wrong. I would imagine though, that if you are using a US variant of the S5, regardless of what ROM your using, you will still have issues with connections being slow simply because youre not located in the US, where the phone is meant to be used. I could be WAY off, but thats just my guess. Check out @jrkruse, I'm sure youll find something to play around with.
Here's an international rom from him http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2986433
remember the 4g is for sprint band

I recently received an AT&T G3 from a friend and would like to use it on T-Mobile, with T-Mobile's wi-fi calling enabled since I get terrible signal inside my home. The phone is currently sim locked to AT&T. I do have it rooted but that's as far as I've gone.
I have two questions:
1) what is the best way to sim unlock? does anyone recommend a service? I'd like to get this done quickly so that I can begin messing with it on T-Mobile.
2) will I be able to install a stock T-Mo ROM on the device to access T-Mo specific features/apps, and how would I go about doing that? I am familiar with flashing ZIPs and reverting back to stock, but I've never gone cross-carrier before. Does it even matter?

If the phone was fully paid off you can unlock it for free on att website.
No you cannot. You'll run into big issues and or soft brick you can only flash what your model is. You may flash a custom D851 based custom rom if that's available if someone's built it for the D850 but you cannot flash other models stock roms.

Thank you hyelton. Have you heard of any D851 based ROMs with wifi calling enabled that will work on the D850?

Sorry I have not, never had to do so but I have seen it around before. Check out the development section for the D850 you may find something there custom rom wise.

So basically as the title states, can you flash a tmobile rom on the Verizon s3? i got my tmobile sim to work, and id like to use the tmobile software as well. Can it be done? if so, what ported roms are available?

I wouldn't. Even though it's the same device basically it will cause issues. Only flash specifically for a universal d2 or d2vzw

Hi guys,
I got an ATT S8+ from a friend but I am in Canada. It has a bunch of ATT default apps which I want to get rid off. I wanted to know if it's possible to flash the default firmware for our version here 955W.
If yes do you think I would be getting future OTAs from bell or still from ATT.
Thanks
