Yes the hardware is the same so go ahead and brick your phone. You fail to comprehend the fact the ROM has to be ported for us cellular for it to actually work.

Sorry I didn't get what u mean
I want flash a Verizon ROM onto the US Cellular Galaxy S3 , Is it will working coz it same hardware

The fact it is the same hardware doesn't change the fact that you have to alter the software/ROM to work on another carrier. That is where porting comes in and lucky for you there are some ROMs here that are multiple carrier ROMs .

I am going to try this rom Galaxy S3 Verizon (I535VRBLK3) for my phone

You are still not getting it. It will not work it is meant for those with Verizon as their cell phone carrier. Plus it is stock version not a ported custom ROM meaning it isn't altered and made to work on another carrier. Let me put it in caps "DON't FLASH IT AS IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE" I hope you got that. See you are on US Cellular and must flash ROMs for that carrier so you can't flash the ROM you want to flash but that same ROM I can flash because I HAVE VERIZON so i won't f**k up my phone.

Your phone will not work if you install that ROM. Do not install it.

In all 3 of my posts I stated that it won't work and why it won't work and yet you are still asking the same question. Either you are trolling the site or you are really are lacking intelligence as I stated that it won't work and it doesn't help that your posts make you sound like English is your second language. If you are using it outside the US then a different ROM won't help you but unlocking the SIM card can.

Yeah, you posted 4 different times in 4 different ways he shouldn't flash the VZW ROM, and he still wasn't getting it. So I spelled it out as plain and simple as possible. I figured like you did he is either trolling or English is a second language, or not even a second language. I also figured with as many times as you responded, you might actually bypass the bottle of scotch and go straight to hitting yourself over the head with a hammer

Sorry to make u angry
I just looking for way to use my phone
Because I can use Verizon for GSM in my country but US Cellular I can't
I was thinking like that because both of them has same hardware
Sorry again

My pet peeve is having to repeat myself which makes me angry despite being a mellow person. I just got through blowing the heads of zombies in Dead Island so I am back to being mellow. You will have to SIM unlock your phone if you're going overseas and insert a Verizon SIM card onto your phone.

Im gonna try to tackle this in a certain way:
There is a thing in mobile phones called firmware. It is like a combo of hardware and software. One thing it allows is software updates to how the hardware works. You know how you can update your bios on your desktop computer? This is a firmware update.
The firmware on US Cellular and Verizon versions of our phone are different. When you flash a verizon rom to your phone, it writes information to the firmware in a way that verizon phones are designed to work with. The US cellular firmware is different, so flashing a verizon rom on your phone will corrupt the firmware and make your phone dead.
Basically, even though the hardware is the same, the part that updates the code within the hardware is different, and verizon roms are not compatible with us cellular roms for this reason.
You can only flash roms designed specifically for US cellular phones. Some roms on the forum have the tag D2USC. These roms will work with your phone.

I will also add that ROMs that are multi-carrier compatible are compatible with US Cellular just make sure you choose your current carrier.

Thanks sfetaz for elucidation
So is there any ROM Supports GSM & CDMA as ROM Verizon , Can I use it with US Cellular

Just go into the development section and download Axis. Make sure that you root your phone, unlock your bootloader, make a nandroid of your current image, back up your IMEI, and choose US Cellular in the options screen for carrier. You will then have flashed a custom ROM to your phone.
READ everything about all of the steps and UNDERSTAND what you are doing before you start or you will brick your phone!

Okay, just happened across this line of interesting conversation. But, I do have a question. Is there any way to change a phones firmware to allow it to expect another carriers ROM or is that simply a pipe dream?
This is strictly a mental excersize....
Thanks,

Darkhlmt I'm not sure what you're looking for, but I know people with the Canadian variants can edit their build prop to accept d2att ROMs, but they share model numbers (Canadians add an m at the end)
APAs, there are a few ROMs compatible between vzw and USC and I mean few. You're better off hitting the forums at teamuscellular.com for your device, rather than risking bricking your phone

[Q] SGH 1497 (at&t 4g version) help updating

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10 .1 inch AT&T 4G SGH 1497 I am unable to use several features because of the 4.1 .2 apk update but more importantly I was curious if anyone was successful in installing a 4.2 .2 to this version of the tab 2 and if anyone was able to get everything working solid? I am very interested in getting this rooted but I don't want to screw up the 4G capabilities and take it off the AT&T network if anyone has any tips links or maybe I missed it in the forums on how or if its possible I would be greatly appreciative. also if you know anything about the WiFi Bluetooth problem I have another post that is directly related to this? thanks for Reading

I had no issues rooting and installing twrp/cwm, but I hard bricked one trying to install AOKP. CyanogenMod gave me the dreaded error 7. From what I understand, this hardware is nothing like the other TAB 2's. It's not looking too good lately. Imight get impatient before long and do my own de-odex and mod the systemui as well as other things. MY tab 2 is just not my main device so I haven't put allot of effort into it as yet. Someone is going to need to soon or we'll all just upgrade to something else that is better supported by dev's. I wish us luck on this device. I have googled to high hell and haven't dug up anything. Couldnt even find an odin file for 4.1.2, so I captured that one while i could and put it up for d/l. Maybe that will help someone dev on 4.1.2 at least.

Hello,
I'm glad I found this post. Can either of you provide a link to the file needed to root the AT&T 4G SGH 1497, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks for any help.

I too am in this dilemma. I just purchased a Tab 2 and want to root to remove the AT&T bloatware. SGH-I497. I found this post:

But since I don't know when 4.1.2 was rolled out for the Tab 2, I don't know if this root method is valid. Help please.
SGH-I497, 16 GB AT&T running 4.1.2 build #J2054K.I497UCBMF2

Please help: Newbie with T-Mobiles Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L Newest build
Please forgive me if I've over looked any other post about this. I am definitely, a complete infant when it come to phones. I did manage to root a Motorola Atrix 2 (MB865) which I paid to have unlocked from AT&T. I never did anything to the phone other than root it; didn't know what to do after that. I did install Titanium Backup, Superuser, and froze some apps but that's it.
I now have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Lte SGH-T999L with Android Version 4.3; Baseband Version: T999LUVUBNF4;
Build Number: JSS15J.T999LUVUBNF4.
I would love to root this phone, install mods, kernels,etc. but the main thing I'm worried about first is removing bloatware and apps that I don't use but I cant find anything recent that shows how to root, remove bloatware,etc.on a Galaxy S3 Lte with this newer Build Number.
Please, if there is anyone that can point me in the right direction, give me a step-by-step.....I don't know how to downgrade a phone to stock (whatever that means,maybe the way the phone came out of the box???) I want to learn badly and I know every phone is different but I can't afford to mess up the only two phones I have; especially the Galaxy S3 LTE. I would greatly appreciate ANY HELP just remember, I don't know much of anything at all. I can take and read directions...might have to read them more than once but what the hell.

As far as I know, the SM-G900P is the US variant. That might be why youre having issues with service. There is an international variant of the the S5 I believe. You could try an international ROM. I've never used one and don't plan on it, so do your homework. Thats a hard one. Maybe someone else will chime in. This should probably be posted in the "General Discussion Forum" though, not to mention if it was youd probably get more help. Just saying. I don't think this is the forum for you.

Thanks for chimming in. As I said, I've never used an international ROM, so I really couldn't tell you where to find one. However, I know @jrkruse has a bunch of stuff concerning those types of ROMs. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts by him concerning international ROMs. I may be wrong. I would imagine though, that if you are using a US variant of the S5, regardless of what ROM your using, you will still have issues with connections being slow simply because youre not located in the US, where the phone is meant to be used. I could be WAY off, but thats just my guess. Check out @jrkruse, I'm sure youll find something to play around with.

[Q] Advice plz Re flashed ROM on S4 (baseband problem)

I'd like some advice please on what to do next. I rooted then flashed my Samsung S4 with a new ROM named Imperium v16.1. Everything is fine except the classic issue of having little to no data connectivity. Wireless is fine and when people try to ring me it's fine. I try to ring out though I have to go into and exit airplane mode.
This is the first time I've flashing an android handset so I definitely put myself in the n00b category.
I'm at the stage that I just don't care what ROM I have I just need data connectivity to work again. Yes I was probably stupid it try it but you know what it's like. We all want to experiment!
I guess I have two questions. If I install another ROM will I just have the same problem? Also, from my research, I get the impression that the problem is that my handset's modem drivers/baseband(?) don't match the ROM. Is that accurate/likely?
Any advice or simple background into what's going on would be grand!!
Thanks community!

Your stock firmware was the outdated Jellybean 4.2.2. Flash latest stock firmware from HERE and you'll be able to use newer custom roms. And free user can cload with 300kb/s, don't be scared by the 15kb/s.

Thank you. I've got the download.. I'll give it a go this evening after work.
(wow the copy of Odin I picked up is full of bloatware.. Wonder if the source I got it from was a bit dodge)

That has worked beautifully! Thank you very much.
Gosh, I had forgotten how bloaty and boring the stock ROM is.
