Hello, I have a quick question... I have an HTC M8 verizon and I am s-off with supercid. my carrier is metropcs on gsm. my question is, when installing a rom, do I install for verizon since my phone is originally from verizon, or do I install as t-mobile since my network is t-mobile.
thank you
oops, I just realized I put this thread in the wrong section.. I guess it should go in Q & A troubleshooting. maybe someone can move it? thanx

i'm unlocked and rooted on my htc inspire 4g. and i'm running virtuous unity ROM.. is it possible to use Straight Talk on my already rooted phone?
Please post all question in the Q&A forums. We have gone through this already. A little research would have told you what you wanted to know. This being that once a phone is unlocked as long as you have the proper settings/apns and the phone supports the network bands that you want to use then yes you can use it on just about any GSM network.
Closed this one to.

Metro as in MetroPCS? If so, MetroPCS only works with CDMA phones. The Glacier/MyTouch 4G is a GSM phone.
so basically there is nothing to be done lol....well anyways, i have the MAXX for VZW and originally it was CDMA but as of last month the ICS ota came through and now its GSM capable...so can i swap my sim to the mytouch just for ****s....if so, how do i unlock it and root ?

Mod Edit: Do not flame..
If you are on Gingerbread, you'll need to downgrade to FroYo to root. Go here.
Once on Froyo, use this to attain S-Off.
Then flash a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or 4EXT (my favorite) and flash away.
If you ask what the best ROM is I'll find you and stab you to death It will be out of kindness, I assure you.
The above statement is probably against the rules and may get me an infraction. :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!

Ok, I posted a question here yesterday which a mod locked and I'm not sure why since my questions asked two questions and the thread was locked only with the response we don't really do best roms here.
I was more concerned about the unlocked portion of the question. I bought an Inspire 4G unlocked. I am able to insert a SIM from another provider into it and it works; however, I want to root it and install a custom rom on it. In rooting it am I going to lose it being unlocked and have to unlock it again?
Also having problems finding a simple link to all the ROMs like I did when I flashed my thunderbolt.

No, simunlock has nothing to do with root. Once your device was unlocked by IMEI you do not lose that.

Hi,
I have an HTC One M7 Sprint (m7wls) or (m7spr) and after my contract runs out, I was planning on selling my phone to them (becuase I own it), but they have AT&T. I know that AT&T has a different partition layout, and I read something about having to change the MID, but couldnt I just download and flash the AT&T RUU? Or do I have to do anything else?
I read an article and found out most of everything, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.
Sorry I'm a noob,
Wesley

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! You may be interested in this thread: [Q] Unlock Sprint HTC One for GSM carriers.. If that doesn't help, you can post your question here: Sprint HTC One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Good luck!
Ok so i have a G955U Verizon unlocked S8+. I want to use it on AT&T but i was told that verizon had disabled a few of the AT&T bands. I dont care about rooting, but if i could root and get all the AT&T bands and no bloat ware that would be above and beyond. I would mostly be happy with just having the capability to use all the bands. So i saw PartCyborgRom had a custom rom that has just recently been updated to work with the v3 BL. Would this rom give me access to all of my AT&T bands? Sorry im a newb haha 15+ year forum creeper, first time poster. Need some help guys this new stuff is over my head! Cheers and thanks!
EDIT: So i have found bboii86's thread on the AT&T S8+ Stock Oreo G955USQU3CRD4 Odin files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...g955u-stock-g955usqu3crd4-odin-files-t3789751 and because im already running the same baseband version somehow but with Verizon bloatware im going to try flashing it. I suppose having the AT&T bloatware rather than verizon would just make me feel better lol. So new question with parts of the old still in place: will running PartCyborgRom give me access to all the bands on the AT&T network and will I be able to use it being on the 8.0 (oreo) Android Version? Much appreciated my friends.
