Hi! I have really mysterious problem with my Moto G. I have Global GSM (because I live in Europe) , 16GB model purchased in US. Of course I'm running stock US ROM (4.4.2). Yesterday I purchased mobile data bundle from T-Mobile, then enabled it and everything was working fine for ~20 minutes. After that mobile data icon disappeared. Now every time when I try to enable mobile data icon does not appear and for example Chrome shows me that I'm offline. Is that because I'm running US ROM in Europe? Also if this is important I have little homescreen lag with stock launcher on US ROM but my friend with UK works really smooth. If so can i flash my US model to UK ROM without problems? Sorry for such dumb questions but I'm new to Android (I was running iOS before). I was searching whole Moto G forum but didn't find any familiar problem. Is there any reason or I need to flash/wipe?
I have a similar or maybe the same problem.
My mobile data drops every now and then. Most of the times it happens when I leave home in the morning. Somehow the switch from wifi at home to the mobile data does not happen and I am offline.
I did not find a solution yet other then rebooting the phone which brings back connectivity.
I found some threads in the internet where Kitkat users with different phones face similar issues, but no solution yet.

I believe this must be a KitKat SW issue.
Or, maybe it is a Moto G issue, because I also ordered the international model in the US and use it in Malaysia, similar to what you did. Still I tend towards a SW issue in KitKat.
I will monitor this problem and post as soon as I have a solution.
The problem is you didn't just flash the US 4.4.2 ROM, you also flashed the US MODEM firmware which is included in the Stock Firmware Images. I was having something similar happen on a UK handset with US ROM / MODEM firmware. Flashing the UK 4.4.2 Firmware Image here solved it. I suggest you don't flash another region's Modem firmware.
FYI: Custom ROMs don't normally change the Modem firmware.
Just for my understanding:
In the US there are two versions to purchase, the "US" and the "International" version.
Since I live in Malaysia I ordered the "International" version, I suppose the thread starter did the same. Would this problem still affect us??
Since I doubt Motorola will do anything, you could experiment yourself. There is a Retail Asian Stock firmware image you could try flashing and see if things improve. Also there is now a 4.4.2 Stock Retail EU firmware image.

Just flash a new radio. You can download radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763
Since the galaxy s6 edge has the exynos 7420 cpu does that mean international roms will work on US carriers? just have to change the APNs?

I have been wondering the same thing. Have you gotten any further with this?
I'm in South America and would like to flash an INT ROM hoping to get LTE working here. LTE Band where I am right now is 1900 mhz. Would flashing an INT ROM "unlock" the phone for that? Are there other "consequences" that one should be aware of when flashing an official International ROM? Any comment on this is appreciated :good:

no i haven't found any information on it sadly :/
Im searching information about too. I tried install some 925F roms then flash 925p kernels but no luck. GPS not working, data/voice not working, even no mobile operator setting in setup.
You would need more than just download and flash!!! You need to port libs, xmls, framework, apps etc to make it compatible with Sprint
Anyway of getting a sprint compatability zip?

Thanks for the info. In my case I don't need to make it compatible with Sprint since I'm in South America. Any suggestions on how to flash an official International G925 Rom?
I think that will happens only when somebody write unified kernel for F/I/*/*/*/and P version of this phone. I researched this and found that noone from kernel makers want not do this. In nearby thread one programmer offer to try modified bootloader for 925p (to be able rollback to 5.0.2). He can't even find testers(. No one want brick their phones.

Not true..... People have been testing bootloaders. Still more work done to be done to it. There have been about 5 testers

S6 G920F roms on S6 G920P?
Dear users
I would like to have S6 International roms on my S6 Sprint but I can't,
is there a compatibility for sprint file to fix the other touch screen and other processor (exynos and snapdragon)?
Please, can anyone reply if you know it?
PS: Sorry for my English, it's not good.
Hello (I have nothing)
This is to discuss Sprint porting with data/ Introducing myself/ A few questions
Please don't reject this (my) project. I will reject my project if I find out it's impossible or absolutely not worth it.. Please also don't tell me to just do it, I would need more research time.
Of course this would be great. Any request for Sprint support posted in other models Rom sections get rejected quickly. But it's been done. Not with this phone, but anyway...
About me:
I had built an AOSP Rom for A Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 816.. And coded A few Apps, so I know A bit around the Android system. Different hardware, I know. With that phone I could just flash A universal APN fix that fixed mobile network when using any rom for any world model. There are close to 20 or more variants. I'd like to create A flashable fix like this. Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint Network.
I have A github (same username), and A fast ((can use over 500GB RAM!)) Microsoft Azure remote server (Ubuntu Server, Windows, free for me) which I use for development which I may be able to "donate" access to for A few people.
I'm new to Knox systems
A few questions:
It's really that secure?!?! I can't even directly "sudo" in A rooted Linux install on the S6 edge. I've been searching the internet everyday for A Samsung Pay workaround/alternative use for the magstripe. But I highly doubt Samsung will open an SDK/API for the Magstripe.
This is possible right, simple porting procedure? Though I've been unsucessful with porting since Lollipop.
You can flash and boot apparently any rom for an S6 using A sprint kernel as well. Just it doesn't know what the SIM card is.
I would like to link porting resourses such as [Guides] from the Galaxy S5, S4 for reference.
For now I will check on gsmarena.com for the supported bands and whether they are GSM/CDMA of the different models.
Anyone working on this, knows what to change, or has more resources than incompatible guides please let me know. If there's any enthusiasts on this subject.
Not much is happening with the S6 not even with AOSP teams. I see that all the news was the way to go and NOT root it because people want Samsung Pay.
I've actually tried flashing a G925F rom. It booted etc. But it showed baseband unknown so I changed some system files etc. but it still shows baseband unknown. All other things were working perfectly.
There isn't a whole lot involved in porting for the s6. But From what I understand, the issue with porting to sprint is with how many files sprint has places carrier specific files into. I was planning to do a port from sprint to other carriers for Dazed and I after full oh1 builds are completed.

Actually the real problem is reading sprint period with the s6..will not read anything sprint whatsoever
Modem, data, efs, iccid anything. Ive been porting roms for sometime. Not happening here

I had taken advice from A site which I was sure would work, but didn't.
Backup partitions efs, modem, carrier, everything that seemed to be storing "carrier stuff" to restore IMEI. Then restored the partitions in the G925F ROM. Using TWRP and the Partitions Backup app by wanam.
Interesting that when flashing Sprint ROMs that are based on A previous build/baseband version, the latest OH1 baseband version shows within those roms.
When using global s6 roms, baseband version shows whatever that rom is for.
Any files in the system noticable that are required to replace? Then change where the port rom looks.
Also the sprint basebands are in OTA's. I'll check those out by comparing update tars. Maybe they're found more easily.
But when flashing G9250 roms (Hong Kong/China) basebands shows and it works fine except making calls (can't talk or hear the person).

did LTE work?
I live in europe so the sprint s6 bands are not supported but I think it will support 4g/lte in the usa.

You were saying the Europe S6 is similar to the China version?
I had starting looking for Hong Kong Roms to flash to my Sprint one. Lol.
A quick search showed that the European model is the G295F, or at least similar. No?
Apparently no bands are the same accept us cdma carriers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
No, I mean the sprint g925p is similair to the g9250 from china. If you flash a g9250 rom it'll find the baseband etc. And no the g925f is not similair to the g925p nor the g9250.
Why doesn't' someone contact a developer like @AntaresOne or @Alucard24. @AntaresOne is the maintainer for International CM 12.1 on the Galaxy S4. He is also the developer of the Optimized CM 12.1 builds. The optimized builds run on any carrier variant of the S4. One ROM, all variants! @Alucard24 is the kernel developer for same. They would both have tremendous knowledge into carrier independence.
I know AOSP, but should be useful.
I had gotten no futher on this.
The steps I had taken were moving any Sprint CSC files into other roms, as well as following porting guides dealing with gsm->cdma porting, and the other way of moving system apps/files from other roms into Renegade ending up with force closes or not booting.
Also A popular kernel for those Roms, Arter kernel had become less and less likely to work. It booted with no data at first, now it doesn't boot.
Sorry that was just A lot of file picking and I'm not good with xml and everything else.

Try this, A good place to start at least. (edit) http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...-patch-flashable-call-audio-fix-t-w8-t3121957 T-Mobile's patch. Probably would not work at first but it can be looked in to from there
Have you found any good 9250 Roms? I used to find A lot of AOSP on this site for an HTC:http://m.muzisoft.com/special/s6.html

Thanks. I noticed that some roms here http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1619&filter=typeid&typeid=12037 claim to support the G925P sprint. I haven't tested yet but plan to. They could possibly have everything working.

Hey, what's up guys?
Need some info please....please don't bash me...lol
I will be getting my Note 5 soon and would like to start tinkering with it, I would like to know if i can install another firmware on the device? I did some research and to my understanding, only corresponding firmware can be flashed. e.g. any other country N920i firmware can be flashed on a N920i variant.
I will be getting a T-Mobile variant soon and would like to know if i could somehow wipe the device and flash another variant's firmware?
I know it could be done with the HTC M8 so i'm a bit curious if it can be done with the Note 5 device too.....
p.s. I chose the t-mobile variant because of all the attention and development its been receiving compared to the other models. International variants usually have the most developments, roms and especially faster software updates....but t-mobile seems to have the lead for now with roms etc. Feel free to enlighten/correct me please......
Guys may I know which version u have? This is the first time I'm going to try op phone so I don't want to make any unnecessary mistake.
Is there any difference between the two in terms of custom rom and rooting availability(such as samsung's exynos is easier to get custom rom and root than other version) ? Or any custom rom will fit to either version?
BTW I'm living in Indonesia, do both will work just fine on my country or do I need a specific version in order to use it here?
Thanks people.
need the answer too, some people said using A6000 outside india or china the 4g network may not working.

I have a6003 here in the u.s..
I have A6003 here in the UK
6003 here in Australia - this is the official International version.. There is a 6000 version going around, which seems to be India based - but is being sold as a "flashed OS" version and sold internationally. I would highly suggest getting the 6003 - it seems the most compatible
6003 is for europe/us.
6000 is for chinese/india.
The difference is just the supported bands (6003 supports much more) and the rom, the rom can be replaced easily.
6003 for US/EU/GLOBAL
6000 is for China/India (no play services, few bands missing etc)
