[Q] Flash Sprint ROM to Boost Mobile S5 G900P to enable GSM - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to Flash a Sprint ROM (particularly G900PVPU1ANK4 ) to my Boost Mobile Galaxy S5 G900P in order to enable GSM Radio. I have already tired to do this using Odin, however, I have exactly the same looks and feel as the Boost Mobile ROM. I also don't see the GMS radio in the selection or GSM/UMTS.
As you can see my idea is to use this phone on a GSM network internacionally.
Will flashing to Sprint ROM help?
Is there any other way to do this?

[Q] about LG ls970 sprint GSM rom?

hi every one just want to make my sprint phone support GSM network like this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043604
but i need to make sure if there custom Rom for GSM network for this phone

What can go wrong flashing a modem file from another s6 variant?

I have a USCC Galaxy S6 (SM-G920R4), and all of the ROMs here don't have any support for it as far as I know. I was able to flash XtreStoLite and everything was working fine with the exception of the mobile data and voice. Is it possible to flash a modem from another device to get this to work? What are some options for getting the mobile data and voice to work?
Nope. The bootloader has to match the modem for it to work.

so there are no options
You could try the Sprint section since your network is CDMA and not GSM.
Sent from my SM-G925F
so I would need to flash the sprint bootloader and modem with odin?
No just try the rom. It may fix your data issue since its CDMA too and if you're lucky sound may work too.
They may even be identical models!

[Q] Virgin Mobile Conversion

Hey guys. I kinda have a question.
I was wondering if I flashed the stock Virgin Mobile firmware on the Sprint S5, would that convert it to a Virgin Mobile S5 and allow it to use a VM SIM card?
Thank you
Well, flashing the VM firmware would not do anything, I have a VM S5 and flashing the Sprint firmware doesn't do anything so I think it would be the same for you. I am curious to see if using the SIM card would though.

LG G3 AT&T D850 3G not working in Pakistan

I have recently bought a used LG G3 D850 AT&T model. The problem is that I'm only getting GPRS or 2g network instead of 3G. I have changed the "Preferred Network mode" to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode but still to no avail. The phone is unrooted atm. I'd be grateful if anybody can help me!
I also have att d850.3g works great.make sure you are in 3g coverage. Because 3g in Pakistan is awful.and if c you are in 3g converge ,walk around your area to check again while using 2g.it will automatically switch to 3g.
Btw which Network are you using?

You can't upgrade it to stock marshmallow.as firmware OTA requires AT&T sim card to upgrade.
You can have coustom marshmallow.first root your phone and then flash any Rom for d850.

If someone brings AT&T sim for you.It would not solve your problem.As there is no service of AT&T in Pakistan. You can use Custom Rom like Fulmics till someone releases flashable Stock Marshmallow.
And yes,3g and 4g works on marshmallow.
My 3g is working on at&t g3 clody rom 2.5. Go to setting/Tethering&Networks/mobilenetworks/acesspointnames. And set up a new apn. Every SIM has it's own apn.

Well a few days back i got a used LG G3 AT&T showing software version D85010n in settings . It was already rooted (checked from root checker) with Kitkat 4.4.2. But when i rebooted it yesterday in recovery mode, it showed LS990ZV6 under Android System Recovery.
That means i got a converted G3....... Is there a way to install any custom rom in it? If so, which rom should i choose, D850 or Ls990? or should i avoid installing any custom rom in it?
I installed CM 13 rom in my LG G3 850 (020F) (from stock lollipop to Fulmics 6.1 and then to CM due to no data connection in Fulmics).. all is fine but the data connection only keeps to 'E', it never goes to H or 3G. .. the settings are right (APN set right for service provider, preferred network set to 3G) .. what could be the reason ? do i need to change the modem of 3G as wel ?

if u got ls990, cloudyg3 is the best rom i tried so far
1) first u need to root ( no need to if its already rooted).
2) then flash twrp via flashify or autorec.
3) download cloudyg3 (u can search for it here on xda)
4) wipe system, cache, dalvik, data partitions.
5) install cloudyg3 (make sure u check ls990 in aroma installer otherwise u will stuck in a bootloop)
thats it, all your problems will be solved, data will be working fine with H+
signals are good as i have tested on many ls990s.
i m using CM13.1 (android 6.0.1) on my LG 850 .. So far its doing good ... it shows E logo when data is enabled but the internet speed is good and reasonable ... so, i consider this E as 3G here in Pak.
The performance of this ROM is good / speedy and battery is reasonably well.
I hav lg g3 850 and my cell fon not shifting on 2g network if 3g network not availing and remains offlin to network iam using jazz and updated to 6.0
Any one tel me slution

How did you convert your D850 to 3G because I don't have option to change preferred network it's working only 2G please help. Its AT&T phone and I'm using zong.
I'm currently on 5.0.1 unrooted in Lahore and I don't have that network mode option in the setting so I'm stuck with 2G. Can anyone help please?

It automatically converts to 3g where 3g coverage is available. Btw you should try fulmics ROM. It's the best out there.
