I have a Tmobile branded Galaxy Light and am switching to Metro PCS. Two part question:
1. Will my phone work without any modifications, including unlocking, on metro?
2. If I flash the metro rom to get KK am I going to brick?

Hello, I've already got my HTC EVO 4G root, now What steps do I need to follow in order to install a ROM that will allow me to use METRO PCS as my wireless provider?
Also, will flashing a ROM such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385783
MetrogenMod 7.1 FOR METROPCS FLASHED EVO 4G
Will that automatically put me on Metro PCS signal/network? or Do I have to do something else?
I have a SM-G360T1 on 5.1.1 from Metro PCS. I don't need root access or want to flash a custom ROM but I want to remove the Metro PCS splash screens on startup/shutdown and I want to remove all of the Metro PCS bloatware...
I'm told that an option would be to flash a factory firmware to my phone (like the one you'd get if you bought the phone directly from samsung?)
How would I go about doing this? Can I use Kies or do I need to use Odin? Will this still trip Knox?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
when I look up firmware for the SM-G360T1 it only comes in the T-Mobile variant... Meaning it will almost certainly have the Metro PCS crap on it.
There are many version of the Galaxy Core Prime that are the same hardware, but they each have a different version of android it seems and are for different carriers and countries. Would flashing one of their firmwares kill the phone?
Hello if anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.
Basically I unlocked an At&t s5 900a to Metro pcs yesterday, everything seems like it's working but the phone is still on the 4.4.4 stock At&t rom, can I root / put a different rom on it being that it's originally from the At&t network / phone? If so, would I need to put a metro pcs rom on it or at&t rom? I really just want to de-bloat the at&t apps and have it rooted so i can tether it. Anyone have any insight on this?
I own an unlocked Samsung G920A which I actually flashed to a G920AZ (Cricket Wireless (who is owned by AT&T)). I now want to flash to T-Mobile as I want to be able to 1. get Marshmallow. Cricket may never. 2. Be able to use WiFi calling and you can only do that with the TMO image (from what I read). I downloaded the G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_G920TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar and using Odin tried, but it fails.
Is it possible to flash to the T-Mobile firmware/ROM ?
If it is impossible, then I think I would want to go to the G920A again to get Marshmallow 6.0.1, then simply pop the T-Mobile SIM in, update APN, etc. Unfortunate though as the LTE bands all work. Seems sh***y it wouldn't work to use their firmware.
I was able to save a ton on my monthy bill by moving from AT&T to T-mobile.
The rest of the family all had iPhones so the move was relatively smooth for them.
I have a Samsung S7 Active (G891A). I have been able to get it to work on T-Mobile network,
However, there are still tons of AT&T only settings and apps and stuff still hanging around.
I am looking for advice as to what to do ...
Live with it?
Use a custom ROM? If so which?
What are ramifications of custom ROM (the phone is obviously unlocked)?
Thanks
If the active has an unlocked variant, you could flash the unlocked firmware via Odin which has no bloat.
Custom ROM's won't be an option if it's a Snapdragon/Qualcomm SoC since they have locked bootloaders.
I was only able to find S8 active firmware from the usual sites (updato & sammobile) but there was an S8 unlocked variant so there has to be an S7 unlocked variant.
