[Completed] Galaxy note edge sprint roms? (N915P)

Hi I'm new to the scene so I might just not be looking in the right spot ,but there aren't many roms to choose from. I did see an interesting rom for N915T ,but that is the t-mobile version. My main question is can I use a rom from a different phone? i.e. the N915T rom I found or another rom that is for a note 4 or can i only use roms designed for my specific version of the phone, Thanks

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Since different Note models use different hardware (for example T-Mobile uses GSM while Sprint uses CDMA) you generally need a ROM specific to your model. Fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge at http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the Sprint Note Edge Development forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/sprint-note-edge-android-development where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good luck!

LG G3 model lg-d582 WIND MOBILE

Hello all, I recently purchased a lg g3 model # lg-d852. I'm currently with wind mobile and would like to get the device working on their network. I have been told from people that it's possible and others that it's impossuble. Figured I would ask the experts before I waste anymore time or money. Will the device fully function? Will I have to flash a modem? Also would this be possible to myself? I have installed custom roms and rooted many devices before by following tutorials.

So did you figure it out ? cause i have an LG g3 aswell and i want to go to wind

[Q] Is the Galaxy J1 similar enough to use S3 mods and roms?

I'm considering picking up a J1 prepaid from verizon, but it doesn't look like there's any development for it at all. The model number is sm-j100vpp if that helps.
Cheers

No. You can't use roms for another device on another device. This includes other S3 variants unless it's been ported over.
Do not even attempt to try anything to unlock the bootloader. Its a VZW device and unless someone has already unlocked it which I highly doubt it may never be unlocked

Flash Samsung J700T ROM on J700P phone? Possible?

Hello,
Is it possible flash J700T(Tmobile) firmware onto a J700P(Spring-Boost Mobile) phone? Would it need to be rooted to do this? Kind of new here, but if anyone has any terms or search suggestions, I'd gladly look through the large knowledge base here. Just wondering if anyone thinks its remotely possible.
Broke my Tmobile phone, have access to a Boost mobile model, but want the wifi-calling feature on the Tmobile (who is my carrier).
Thanks everyone

I didn'the understand any thing except for the first two questions
So yes it will work but you need to root your device and to install Twrp

Im rooted and have twrp. Have flashed different verions of J700P firmware on the phone. Hadn't tried J700T as of yet. From what i can tell phones have same processors, etc. I will give it a try. Thanks

Anyone know a way that my girlfriend and I could swap phones? (s7's)

I purchased the Galaxy s7 Unlocked USA (SM-g930u with AT&T). I quickly found out that the bootloader is locked down and you cannot do very much with it. I did root it, but didn't like it much. My girlfriend has a Galaxy s7 (SM-g930p with Virgin Mobile). She said she would swap me phones so i would be able to customize the device. Does anybody know if this is possible? I've read a couple of posts about swapping firmware, not sure if that is a route, since my bootloader is locked. I bought my sm-g930u 5 days ago from best buy so I can still return it if there is no way to swap phones, or numbers or anything.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? All USA models have a locked bootloader, so even with the 930P you're still on a locked bootloader with just root access like your 930U.
You can use Odin to flash stock US firmwares from different providers, but nothing custom.

Wait, so there are no USA Galaxy s7's that you can add custom recoveries and roms to? I thought I read on a forum that there were custom roms and recoveries for certain s7's.

Correct, all US models are Snapdragon 820 SoC's with locked bootloaders, because only Qualcomm has the modem tech for US telephony networks.
There is the international model which has a thriving ROM and recovery development community, because they use Samsung's exynos CPU with an unlocked bootloader and not the Snapdragon.
There is also a Hong Kong snapdragon variant which they have gotten TWRP onto, but afaik no custom ROM support.
You can use the international model in America, but your ability to get mobile data may be spotty depending on what bands your provider offers and if exynos has them.
For reference here's the R&D thread for trying to unlock the US variants: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/discussion-unlock-bootloader-rd-t3582800
And here's the development forum for US variants (no ROMS, just root): https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nels-recoveries--other-development-snapdragon

Yep, all US snapdragon S7s are bootloader locked, there is root but that's about it, no custom ROMs / Recovery, you need international S7 for that (G930F etc) with Exynos CPU
