My buddy has a Hero CDMA from Open Mobile (identical to the Sprint Hero) I wanted to know if i can use the same custom roms on this one
thanks

Yes, I have one on nTelos. It works perfectly fine. Depending on the ROM you may have have Sprint headers everywhere, but that's easily fixed.

+1. Search the Eris theme and apps forum for Carrier Change Name app to change the Sprint headers. Works wonderful.

Possible to use unlocked Hero on T-mobile network.

Just wondering if it is possible to use the Hero cdma on the T-Mobile network. If yes, would it be able to work on the 3g network?

Im 99.99% sure it's a no because Tmous is a GSM network while the Hero is CDMA

By unlocked Hero, do you mean the European version? If so, then yes it will work with Tmobile but no 3G, only 2G EDGE data.
If you mean the Hero from Sprint, then no, it will not work. It's not a GSM phone.
Go for the legend.

GB Cellular South and MMS

Right now I'm rocking the latest version of AOSP's Gingerbread ROM. I'm really impressed with how it runs but I the same issue with every nonstock Rom. MMS won't send! I've searched high and low and tried editing apns-conf.XML a hundred different ways. What am I missing and how do I fix it? Any Cellular South user's had success?

wow, you are running gingerbread without any problems on CS? i was thinking about doing it but was concerned that it would be unstable/unreliable since i use my phone for work and depended on it to work when i need it to.
Its actually pretty stable on these here heros lol at least for me. Everything works fine, way better than stock IMO

Thanks!!

Nope. Only the ones that say sprint. Or a few that say verizon/sprint.

Ok Thanks for the info! I may have to return my GT and wait for the HTC Flyer.
I got the GT thinking as long as i have the hardware i can flash whatever. But we are all at the mercy of the DEVS. No development no flashing..

I called sprint and had them to cancel my contract! Plus $75 off! Now its becoming a fun toy! The 3g sucks on this tablet on sprint network, the tablet is laggy, and etc......But it's now the greats gadget ever for $130 "for now"
hey what method did you use to root your GTab, and what firmware are you running ?
flash my sprint tab
I have a sprint galaxy tab that is out of contract and w/o service.
is it possible to flash it with a verizon rom and then get data service from Verizon? Does 3D use the same frequencies?
Just brought back life to sprint gt. Awesome rom out icontact.check it out.im loving it

No, the hardware between sprint and vzw is different. You can flash your sprint tab to boost mobile (info in the dev section)
And as far as flashing VZW vs Sprint roms, 90% of the time, the VZW roms work just fine on a sprint tab, as long as you aren't needing 3g. So if you're using the Tab wifi only, don't let the VZW bit scare you away from running a rom (CM7 etc say VZW only but still work fantastically on my Sprint tab.)
Yea the contact rom is great for sprint tab. Overclock and undervolt kernel to use with it.

I am using my Sprint GT as Wifi only permanently. (I have phone service with Pageplus).
I am currently running the 1n1tia|C0ntact_V_1_6 ROM and its great.
Can I flash ROMs that are built for GSM GT's?
I won't ever need 3G service for this tab. Wifi only
Dont think that would work buddy.I hope more Roms come out like honeyccomb or icecream sandwich type so I can download the apps I actually want
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
ICS should be coming to the cdma tabs. If you notice in the dev forum the GSM tabs got all the work on them and our tabs got left behind.

Hero - Metro PCS What lastest ROM can I use?

I'm running Damagecontrol 1.1 right now. I would like to go to 2.2 or 2.3 I can't seem to find a answer for which ROM I can use that will work with Metropcs. I've burned up the Search here! So if someone could point me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
Rick
I really don't think the carrier has anything to do with it but the brand of phone.. as long as u get a rom for the hero u should be fine..

Looks like there's two different hero versions in the forums. Cdma and non cdma. I don't know whether or not PCs is cdma or GSM but pick a rom for whichever service ur running.. hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Metro PCS is a CDMA network. AFAIK, you'll only brick if you flash a gsm radio, not roms. I flashed a gsm rom once. It didn't work, just bootlooped, but I fixed it. Any of the roms in here should flash fine to your phone.

Anyone got a write up on how to flash These? I was able to flash me OG DROID to cricket but I don't know how to do these 4G phones
Sent from my ICS flavored DROID4
I was under the impression that the Verizon LTE phones had their CDMA authentication modified to use the SIM card for authentication as opposed to the IMEI as in non LTE phones. They also modified their 3G network to use SIM based authentication for 3G data as opposed to IMEI. If this is true it would prevent you from accessing the 3G CDMA based data network because the phone would be passing SIM based authentication for data and the network was expecting IMEI based authentication. In theory you could flash a different radio firmware if you can find it to correct this... but currently as Verizon is the only carrier of this phone I do not believe there are any alternative radio firmwares available. Community....please correct me if i am wrong but this is my understanding.

You can use QPST to set it to NV only.
You can attempt to use QPST, however it would not accept the change. I did it using cdma workshop 2.7

the droid razr and droid 4 are basicly exactly the same phone. I used the info in this post (and the links in post #5) to switch my droid 4 over to pageplus. I have had 3g data, MMS and talk all working fine for a couple months now.

Need Help
Is everything the same on the Droid 4? I'll pay somebody to do it for me! I'll pay to ship the phone or whatever. I never have too great of luck with the CDMA Workshop or QPST. I DO know how to access the User activation and everything on the phone with the ##PROGRAM then press send and put in the 000000. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody. I just got my Droid 4 in the mail today and called Page Plus to activate only to have them tell me LTE couldnt be flashed to Page Plus. What if I called them and used the IMEI and dropped off the last number? Would that work if I just called them and gave them that? HELP! LOL!
