I got a hold of a verizon GS5 and am on the Tmobile network.
I am searching everywhere to see if it is possible to unlock this phone and flash Tmobile Rom/Kernel/Modems.
I am under the impression that the hardware is the same for tmobile and verizion versions of the GS5 and the phone is "SIM unlocked", however there are features that cannot be accessed with verizon software on the tmobile network. This would require the bootloader to be unlocked I think.
I would be wiling to use my phone as a test project to see if this is a possibility.
If this is something that is already in the works, Here are the details of my phone in question.
Model# SM-G900V
Android Version 5.0
Baseband Version G900VVRUZBOK3
Kernel Version [email protected] #1
Build # LRX21T.G900VVRUZBOK3
Configuration Version J13.SAM.SMG.900V.1
I would even be wiling to Flash a Stock Tmobile ROM so Tmobile features all work.

I rooted and unlocked my Sprint Note 3 so I could use it with T-Mobile. To unlock the phone I had to flash N900PVPUBMI3 modem using the steps found here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305
I am travelling through Europe and I have very unstable data, and I think it is because of the modem. I am running AICP 5.1.1 lollipop ROM, and I want to know what modem I should flash. I believe the modem file needs to be paired to the service provider, not the phone model, but I am not sure.
Any help determining what modem I should flash will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

I have a Samsung Galaxy A300FU UK Version which has come from EE Network. I wanted to know how i can download the factory version of Android Lollipop because Lollipop has not arrived yet on the EE network. I have also unlocked my device so i can use it on any network. Also to download and install with odin, what would be the process of doing that and would i need to root my device. Also would it affect my warranty.
Device is currently running on Android 4.4 KitKat. Sim-Free versions have already been updated however some carrier variants have not. I also did not want the carrier bloatware.
Many Thanks!!!

Hello guys, I'm new to this community. I need help to unlock my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
The phone was a gift from my friend since my nexus 4 broke. I'm currently on MetroPCS and I need
to activate my new phone, but since it is Sprint I havent been able to do it. I downgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2
and root it to install SSU. Since SSU was not working on Lollipop 5.0
So now SSU says that it is unlocked, but I'm still having the same issue with "invalid sim card." I read some forums
and they said that SSU works only for international, not sure if it works in US carriers like Metropcs. Lastly, I tried looking for unlock codes from paid websites, but they don't have offer any unlock codes.
I need some help with this, if you have a tutorial or know how to please help me. Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Hello guys i'm new here and did look for my problem but didn't find much
i brought a galaxy S5 sprint G900P the guy that sold it to me told me it was a non-contract phone
i check the imei back then and it was clean even though i coudn't activate it.
still i used SSU to unlock the sim on 4.4.2
i wanted today to update to the 5.0 version i checked the imei again just by luck and i found it Blacklisted --
my question is if i update to 5.0 will i still use it or will it get blocked and will i be able to use the sim
i live outside the US.
thank you.
