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.

Where can i get the international rom ?
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

The only ROM I know if is a European one that you'll find in the dev section which as you rightly pointed out, is no good for our devices. I have not seen any news yet on a stock USA ROM. I think many of us here with ATT, Bell, Rogers, etc would like to get our hands on it but it just does not exist as of now. Considering how popular the 8X is supposed to be, it's surprising but unfortunately the reality.
Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe something soon...

There are some unbranded Asian ROMS that have leaked as well. Perhaps those will work better? They are over on the Dark Forces Team forums.

I would love the stock TMOUS Rom v1532.20.20010.531 or later! This ROM enables Wi-Fi Calling for us T-mobile customers!
Anyone here could help us?
I Have an HTC 8X, Model C625a. I want to know if is posible to flash it, beocuse i am thinking about release it, so i can install applications that are not from the windows online store. I could try by the Microsoft way (Registering it as a Developer/Development Phone using a Windows Live ID) or by the other way, using an application to Jail Break it.
If is the case, and the Jailbreaker Application breakes the Windows Phone System, i want to know what posibilities do i have of repair it. Could I do a hard reset to the phone to restore the original system? or Do i Have an other way to install applications.
The Carrier is Rogers Canada, but is unlocked working with Cubacel
Sorry if the message has some spell errors, I am cuban and I am learning english now
AT&T 8X, looking for HTC stock rom
Hello,
I'm also looking to unbrand my ATT HTX 8X, the model is PM23300. I couldn't find any rom for it. I'm using the phone in Canada, so i need a north american rom.
Thank you for helping!
Dear friends. I believe there's a lot of people having STUCK IN GEARS problems with their phones. Is it possible for a good soul to dump the stock rom so we can play with and try to fix our phones???
Hi guys,
So I know it is super specific but I was wondering if anyone has used their Verizon GSIII in Portugal. I know theoretically it should work but I was looking through this thread and noticed that user Beemer533 wasn't able to get SMS and data to work even though he has used the same method in many other countries. Do you think the new update that Verizon launched a while ago should have fixed it? I know Beemer533's problem was before that update.
Thanks so much!
It should work fine, use a custom touchwiz rom though, if you are gonna be stock then you dont be able to get Data working

I'm using CleanROM V6. That should work, yeah?
Also, I just wanna be absolutely sure, should this work by just putting in the sim card or should I still use the method described in the OP of that thread I linked?
Thanks again!
Buy tomorrow this exact model
Tomorrow i go buy a cousin this exact model...
I read all the posts and my question is simples. This Verizon model works in Portugal with GSM to make calls and sem text messages, and with 3G?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say but I will be arriving in Lisboa on Monday, I will let you know if I get it working!
I am here in Lisbon now and voice, sms, and data are working perfectly. This is with the latest CleanROM R6 based on Jelly Bean. I believe you need a custom ROM like this to get data to work properly.

Did you automatically get the APN? or have to install a apn manager app?
Before I arrived I did install an APN manager app and I put into it all the possible APN's that Vodafone might use. But when I put in the SIM card it picked it up right away without me having to go into the app or anything. So I think the APN manager is not needed, but you may want to set it up before hand just to be safe.
Cheers!

Yes the hardware is the same so go ahead and brick your phone. You fail to comprehend the fact the ROM has to be ported for us cellular for it to actually work.

Sorry I didn't get what u mean
I want flash a Verizon ROM onto the US Cellular Galaxy S3 , Is it will working coz it same hardware
The fact it is the same hardware doesn't change the fact that you have to alter the software/ROM to work on another carrier. That is where porting comes in and lucky for you there are some ROMs here that are multiple carrier ROMs .
I am going to try this rom Galaxy S3 Verizon (I535VRBLK3) for my phone
You are still not getting it. It will not work it is meant for those with Verizon as their cell phone carrier. Plus it is stock version not a ported custom ROM meaning it isn't altered and made to work on another carrier. Let me put it in caps "DON't FLASH IT AS IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE" I hope you got that. See you are on US Cellular and must flash ROMs for that carrier so you can't flash the ROM you want to flash but that same ROM I can flash because I HAVE VERIZON so i won't f**k up my phone.

In all 3 of my posts I stated that it won't work and why it won't work and yet you are still asking the same question. Either you are trolling the site or you are really are lacking intelligence as I stated that it won't work and it doesn't help that your posts make you sound like English is your second language. If you are using it outside the US then a different ROM won't help you but unlocking the SIM card can.

Yeah, you posted 4 different times in 4 different ways he shouldn't flash the VZW ROM, and he still wasn't getting it. So I spelled it out as plain and simple as possible. I figured like you did he is either trolling or English is a second language, or not even a second language. I also figured with as many times as you responded, you might actually bypass the bottle of scotch and go straight to hitting yourself over the head with a hammer
Sorry to make u angry
I just looking for way to use my phone
Because I can use Verizon for GSM in my country but US Cellular I can't
I was thinking like that because both of them has same hardware
Sorry again
My pet peeve is having to repeat myself which makes me angry despite being a mellow person. I just got through blowing the heads of zombies in Dead Island so I am back to being mellow. You will have to SIM unlock your phone if you're going overseas and insert a Verizon SIM card onto your phone.
Im gonna try to tackle this in a certain way:
There is a thing in mobile phones called firmware. It is like a combo of hardware and software. One thing it allows is software updates to how the hardware works. You know how you can update your bios on your desktop computer? This is a firmware update.
The firmware on US Cellular and Verizon versions of our phone are different. When you flash a verizon rom to your phone, it writes information to the firmware in a way that verizon phones are designed to work with. The US cellular firmware is different, so flashing a verizon rom on your phone will corrupt the firmware and make your phone dead.
Basically, even though the hardware is the same, the part that updates the code within the hardware is different, and verizon roms are not compatible with us cellular roms for this reason.
You can only flash roms designed specifically for US cellular phones. Some roms on the forum have the tag D2USC. These roms will work with your phone.

I will also add that ROMs that are multi-carrier compatible are compatible with US Cellular just make sure you choose your current carrier.
Thanks sfetaz for elucidation
So is there any ROM Supports GSM & CDMA as ROM Verizon , Can I use it with US Cellular
Just go into the development section and download Axis. Make sure that you root your phone, unlock your bootloader, make a nandroid of your current image, back up your IMEI, and choose US Cellular in the options screen for carrier. You will then have flashed a custom ROM to your phone.
READ everything about all of the steps and UNDERSTAND what you are doing before you start or you will brick your phone!

Okay, just happened across this line of interesting conversation. But, I do have a question. Is there any way to change a phones firmware to allow it to expect another carriers ROM or is that simply a pipe dream?
This is strictly a mental excersize....

Darkhlmt I'm not sure what you're looking for, but I know people with the Canadian variants can edit their build prop to accept d2att ROMs, but they share model numbers (Canadians add an m at the end)
APAs, there are a few ROMs compatible between vzw and USC and I mean few. You're better off hitting the forums at teamuscellular.com for your device, rather than risking bricking your phone
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.

It is likely you will brick your phone if you do, so try with caution.
If you do try it, I would love to know how it goes. I haven't seen of anyone actually attempting it in the past year or two.
