So I followed the instructions here and was able to get my phone working on At&t network. But I have a question about the upgrade. I was just sent Lollipop. Do I even bother doing it? Will it stop my phone from working on At&t network since it was a sprint phone. Im new to alot of this.

What did it take for you to get mms working?
I have tried everything I can find and I have gotten it to work momentarily but then it will automatically revert back to the Sprint settings.
Even Go SMS Pro will reset to Sprint settings.
Hi everyone.. I need help.. I have galaxy s3 verizon running android 4.4.2. I want to unlock it for any GSM network all I found is for android 4.1.2 or below Kitkat and unable to find any solution for Kitkat 4.4.2. Please help me to unlock my phone to use any sim.
Newer vzw phones don't actually have a sim lock. You just need to put the new sim in, and add APN info. Not sure if this is the case with the gs3.
I'm using a vzw phone in Spain right now.. Didn't do anything to it.. Inserted new sim, added APN.

For future reference, VZW gs3 works fine with a tmo sim, just add apn's for your carrier, as stated above.
Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a HTC M8 from ebay thinking it would work perfectly with any GSM network . My phone is currently in android Kitkat and i want to update it to lollipop. I tried to update the firmware from phone's system update but failed as it is asking to try with CDMA network.
Can anyone suggest how can i update it to lollipop still staying in GSM network please?
Thanks

Let me tell you, simply put, DON'T! if you have followed the instructions on how to get 4g, or if you are out of the country (i.e. US) you will lose 4g, you will also lose the ability to s-off and root. My M8 was awesome before I did that... now even my girlfriend (who is not even remotely familiar with cell phones and has an iphone of all devices) is making fun of me.... Before you do it, ask yourself if you want to be that guy?
I have a Galaxy s6 from Verizon on Metro PCS network. I have noticed people who have a Metro PCS phone get service in areas I don't and Im assuming this is due to the fact I am unable to update my PRL being as it still is running on stock Verizon firmware. Is there a manual way to update my prl or a rom that will work on my verizon phone that is set up for metro pcs? Ive searched all over to no avail!!!

I recently switched my S6 from Verizon to T-Mobile. Can I flash the T-Mobile firmware on this phone?

In short no. The closest to what your thinking is like having a s7edge and instead of running your providers firmware, in your case (T-Mobile) but you got a Verizon phone, you could download and run the "unlocked firmware" for the phone. In this example it'd be SM-G935U if say you had a SM-G935R4(U.S. Cellular), I know you can also flash other providers to the s7edge like verizon to a us cellular phone. Don't think it flys with the s6 like that though.
That's what I kind of figured. Verizon has their phones extremely locked down but figured I would ask before I tried and bricked it. Thanks for the imput and help.
