Is it possible to use ROMs from other note 5 variants, and if so will the phone and data work. Also is there a fix for the data and phone to work.

First, I have installed a ROM on my phone before and I followed very specific instructions. I am a developer in the land of microsoft so I recognize I am very much a newbie here.
Now, on to what I have now and what I want to do.
1. I have a Note 3. The SM-N9005. The baseband version is: N900W8.... suffice to say it is a canadian phone. If the rest of the baseband numbers are important I will post them, just ask.
2. I want to install the Alliance ROM, it seems to have what I am looking for.
3. When I rooted and ROMed my phone years ago I used the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614772
4. Currently my phone is running a Jedi ROM from the vintage of that thread. However I must have made a mistake back then because the Hotspot feature does not work. Making the hotspot feature work again is my primary reason for undertaking this operation. The 4G works, I can use the Internet on the phone just fine. The wireless works I can connect to a wireless signal and use the internet that way (with mobile data off). The hotspot will allow a connection, but no data passes between the 4G (with Mobile Data On) connection and the connected computer. I have tried this with multiple computers to confirm its not the computers fault.
Back when I did this before I had to be careful to get the right CSC file and modem file and a few other steps.
With that background, my questions are below (if you need any more info to point me in the right direction, just ask):
Do I need to worry about CSC files, modem files and so on to Flash to Alliance ROM and still have everything work? I ran across a thread that said that some ROMs have all the CSC files in them, but I cannot find any direct information (or I missed it) about the Alliance ROM with regards to CSC files and the like.
I have TWRP installed on the phone and was planning to use that.. that install of TWRP is over 2 years old is there an update to TWRP that I should do or would it still work since it worked last time?
Last, but not least, the instructions say that if I am not installing from stock 4.4.2 or stock 5.0 that I should install stock first, then install the alliance rom. I visited the sammobile website and there are no ROMs for the USA or Canada there... am I missing something or should I just use the UK ROM from that website?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me on this endeavour.

Hi guys, I have a G900p on 4.4.2 rooted with Phils recovery. My goal with this phone was to be able and use data internationally once it was unlocked, data didnt work on stock software. So I flashed Shohat Rom v5 and that made my data work, but my fingerprint scanner was unusable. What rom can I flash into this phone to have functioning data and functioning fingerscanner. Please consider that I am in Mexico which is international and I need data.
Thank you
the newest stock rom now has international data working

Hi, I also have a G900p sprint S5 on 5.0 software - G900PVPU3B0G1, but it also picks up no data at all here internationally. It picks up signal calls and all, but no data and I cant find the way to downgrade it to 4.4.2 since every time I try with Odin it simply fails. I wouldnt want to upgrade it to that new version, since then I think it would be even harder to downgrade to 4.4.2? hope you can lend a hand and let me know.
Thanks

well you cant downgrade the bootloader to anything below OG1 if your on stock. but if you root it you can install any custom rom through the custom recovery you added when rooting.
including flashing a 4.4.2 rom as long as your rooted with custom recovery.
when you flash a rom in the custom recovery your only flashing the rom itself not the bootloader. so you can go back to whatever rom you want but it must be done through a custom recovery. so to break it down
even if you upgrade and it doesnt give you the data your looking for you can root and flash an old rom.
one old trick that used to reset the data was a dialer code ##SCRTN# (press those digits in the dialer pad) it resets the entire data profile for the phone . so good luck the rest should be in the forums
If I'm on OG1 and rooted I can flash back to 4.4.2 ? Do I need to flash modem and kernel from the older version I'm flashing ?
So I have a note 3 sm-n900p I want to flash if needed to Assurance Wireless that is through Virgin Mobile through Sprint. The phone they gave me is a ANS UL40 that takes a sim card. I don't know if it is a GSM hybrid or what. If I do not have a sim installed in it, it says no service. So here is what I have tried on the note 3. Stock rom installed MJ4 modem sim unlocked. TWRP and rooted. Also tried ssu.apk region lock away.apk. ssu crashes and region lock says ok. Also have tried custom rom's (many) with or without MJ4 modem. Also did the *#0011# and changed settings to menu > key input > Q,
menu > back,
menu > key input > 0000.
Wait for about 20 seconds then a menu will appear. Once the menu appears go to:
>UE SETTING & INFO
>SETTING
>PROTOCOL
>GCF
>GSM/(E)GPRS/WCDMA GCF ON
Either way I still get on any of these changes no sim or sim card not detected or sim card has locked reboot phone.
Also have tried DFS tool and change all info to what I get off the other phone Like IMEI and such, still same. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the note 3 to take the sim card on assurance wireless? I have tried so many roms and so many ways of flashing with no luck. I have sim unlocked this phone before and it worked on Tag Mobile which is through T-mobile. Please give me any suggestions on what to do, will try anything. Thanks
Also forgot to mention I have used HLTE and HLTESPR roms and modems still no luck
Hope u figure out. I have same exact two phones. Even versions are same. I will be trying a few things later today keep you posted.
Assurance Wireless sux. Need I say more. Going to another carrier.......
Did you ever find a way to root your ANS UL40? I have one myself, & haven't found any way to do so.
HELP!!!
is there a way to flash assurance wireless to samsung galaxy note 4/ android oreo 8.1/lineage OS version?
I tried installing both the Pixel Experience and Lineage OS 16 and in both cases my sim was detected but the data doesn't work. I'm able to make and receive calls but I'm not having any luck getting data to work. I'm using T-Mobile (USA) and have checked the APN to ensure that it's correct. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
I recently got a G7 power T-mobile variant and was trying to get it working on safelink wireless a Verizon mvno. I have it network unlocked and bootloader unlocked and have been able to flash custom roms and my sim is detected but I can't seem to get any calls texting or data on it. I've been perusing the forum here reading everything I can on the issue and feel like I'm 90% of the way there but missing something. For anyone that has gotten Verizon working on their T-mobile G7 please help with how you managed to do it.
I flashed RR and then the Verizon modem but that didn't work. I'm going to try flashing back to stock T-mobile to see if I can get some connectivity.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
I have already flashed a custom rom to my phone that hasn't had connectivity and the issue is that the custom rom you flashed to your phone doesn't have your regional code for ur area and the tz.mbn file needs to be updated with your area's cod or just re-flash another custom rom because it's rare on how many times I have had to erase completely re-installed new and different Operating Systems to my phone just to learn and try different Roms and only twice have I got a Rom that doesn't support my data.
So just try a different rom from RR and it should be able to work? Should I do a comletely clean install like, wipe system then flash or flash stock rom, then do custom rom over the top?
