I'm trying to convert my verizon phone to MetroPcs. I tried this link to get it to T-mobile since they're now the same,

but it doesnt's work. Phone just boots to bootloader now.
My M8 is unlocked, rooted, and s-off. I have TWRP 3.0.2 installed and working. The custom ROMs will install, just not start.
The reason for this whole debacle is that the wifi hotspot wasn't working at all.
Should have found a t-mobile phone from the start...

Recently, I messed up real bad and I accidentally installed the firmware of a Verizon GS3 on a T-Mobile GS3. Now it is a Verizon phone :c I already rooted it so I can replace the firmware with a T-Mobile TouchWiz Stock ROM. All I need is the last step: to unlock the bootloader. Can someone (or anyone) please help me remove it? I am currently mentally constipated by the problem and I just have only a couple steps until I return it back into a T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Now that's the question. Here's the story of how it is what it is right now.
So one day, I was rooting my phone to install CyanogenMod because I wanted something similar to 4.2.1 Jellybean. I did everything except I didn't delete the Dalvhik Cache. So when everything was loaded, I see that my phone cannot open the PlayStore. In my mind, I reflect back a couple minutes in the past just to remember I didn't clear what I needed to. Idiotic me goes off and attempts to erase CyanogenMod 10 and I get stuck in a boot loop. I am in a state in which I call "mental constipation". I then accidentally and foolishly install the Verizon GS3 ROM and BOOM. I am in a worse situation. Fast forward today, I root the phone but as a Verizon Galaxy S3. I am almost done but I need to just unlock the bootloader and I am set to return it back into a T-Mobile GS3. So, can someone please tell me how to unlock the Verizon GS3's bootloader?
tl;dr turned T-Mobile GS3 into a Verizon GS3 and I need to unlock boot loader
Hi guys
i just wanted to ask if flashing CM10.2 on my unlocked relay would still enable me to use any network and would not lock the phone back again?
That's correct. Once the phone has been unlocked using the stock ROM, it remains unlocked from there on out. It's only rooting that is lost when reflashing, but our CM rom comes rooted.
Just rooted the h81010o. Ive got xposed and the root cloak method doesnt work nor disabling su. Im not gonna flash back to stock just for android pay i just like making everything work. And as far as the bootloader unlock. I seen that the only version capable is the h815 int.. can it only be unlocked by lg or can a dev. Find a way? Last thing, custom recovery. Can be done with tmobile variant but is there a way for the att h810 to have a custom recovery without the bootloader unlocked or is that necessary?
I am about to port this line over to at&t, is there anything special I need to do to get data working correctly when I put the new att sim in? I'm asking because I have heard of data issues when using the sprint u11 on at&t. Phone is sim unlocked with the stock sprint rom.
Nevermind, looks like its an att issue.
S-off and flash to US Unlocked firmware. That *may* help.
So what I want to do is switch this phone to straight talk but want the att bloatware off this. If I install unlocked firmware and root the device would that make it unlocked? Like not carrier locked. Straight talk said I can already use a Sim despite it being locked but I wanna unlock it myself.
I don't think att will yet and not sure if they will at all. I'm converting my chapter 13 bankruptcy to a 7 on Tuesday and att bill is rolled into it so the phones will be mine once that is discharged but not sure if they will unlock them right after or if it will take months,that's why I'm asking this. I already reinstalled att firmware on this phone because I tried to install a custom room and messed up due to the bootloader issue of it being v5 I think.
