Good afternoon all. I am thinking of switching my phone from AT&T over to TMobile. When I do this, will I then be able to install custom roms on the phone? Thanks in advance for your help.

I will be getting a new phone on the Rogers Network. What phone would you recommend and why?
Thanks for your help!
Ok guys, i've posted in the Verizon section to no avail and I really need help. I have a month to figure this out. I need my verzion lg g2 to work on tmobile network. I understand it is unlocked, but I suppose I need to install a tmobile rom in order to get wifi calling and unlimited tethering. Any idea guys or help would be appreciated. I have read that if I install a tmobile rom and then install the flex rom, which I can not find it will work. Appreciate the help.

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.
Hi guys,
I got an ATT S8+ from a friend but I am in Canada. It has a bunch of ATT default apps which I want to get rid off. I wanted to know if it's possible to flash the default firmware for our version here 955W.
If yes do you think I would be getting future OTAs from bell or still from ATT.
Thanks
Hello
If you just have a problem with the operators applications, look here:

Hello,
What is the difference, other than carrier bloatware, in a carrier-unlocked Galaxy S7 (G930[A,T,V...etc]) vs a factory unlocked S7 (G930U)? I am planning to buy a T-mobile S7 at full price and then get it unlocked by T-mobile customer rep because it is cheaper for me to do that than buy a factory unlocked version.
The following questions are what I have thought to ask so far:
Installing custom ROMs -- can I install custom ROMs for the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
Unlocking bootloader -- Can I unlock the bootloader for the carrier-unlocked version?
Factory Image -- If I just want to get rid of T-mobile bloatware but keep Samsung's factory image/ROM, can I install the factory image of the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
What other limitations are there, if any, between the 2 unlocked versions?
Thank you for all your feedback and time.

You can't go custom or any other fun things with any US model S7 (Snapdragon)
You need the International S7 (G930F)
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about getting the international but I heard it has poor reception with US carriers

Can't help you with that one I'm afraid, hopefully people in the US using International S7s can reply
Maybe make a new thread titled:
"Anyone in the US using G930F?"

I have a factory unlocked s7 and I'm using it on T-Mobile. I am having some issues though. I am not getting LTE in places where I had LTE with my S4. I also get 3G a lot when I am supposed to have LTE and no data goes through on 3G for some reason. Not sure if it is an issue with the model I have or if it is a common issue. The factory unlocked one has the bands for T-Mo USA though.
Also there is a thread about this in the tmobile specific galaxy s7 subforum https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/using-sm-g930f-t-mobile-t3335753
