Nope. If you are using a Droid then you need to flash a Droid ROM. They are NOT compatible because of many different software differences.
If you can't flash the baseband for ATT, you can try and enter the APN settings manually.

They are not the same if you checked the milestone is a GSM version of the droid, and has a locked bootloader, you can not flash these roms to your droid just like we cant flash the droid roms

Can I switch between CDMA and GSM custom ROMS?

Is it possible to switch between CDMA custom ROMs (and use Verizon) and GSM custom ROMs (and use AT&T/T-Mobile)? I'm assuming that the answer is yes, since switching between CDMA and GSM is a software thing?
Yeah it's just a radio flash and a build.prop change. Some people have played with CDMA Workshop and gotten parts of CDMA on the 883 radio to work with Verizon but they haven't been to specific on the steps. The only true way I know how is to switch between 883 radio/build.prop and 862 radio/build.prop.
are all roms safe for use after flashing the xt883 radio for gsm use?
Yeah you just gotta replace the build.prop. Most of the ROMs I've made an 883 prop for but just use Root Browser Lite and start reading through them and study the differences and you can quickly learn to edit your own.

do you have a link to the roms you have made?which one would you recommend.I would just like something that isnt bloated and is fast and still works with the xt883 radio on at&t.
Thanks for any help.
Minimoto is really fast. I can't find the link to the build.prop since I'm only on my phone but maybe later I can.

when i flashed minimoto to a phone that had been flashed to 883 it would not pick up verizon and the prl shows unknown. I'm pretty sure you still have to flash the radio too.

Right. You have to flash a radio from the AT&T/T-Mobile thread.
I saw the stock rom but never saw just the radio for the vzw side. Maybe I'm overlooking it. I found both build props and the att radio but no vzw radio only

You just use the SBF and pull the radio file out of there.

[Q] ATT Note 3 SM-N900A flash to Tmobile

I have an unlocked ATT Note 3 SM-N900A, can I flash it to the Tmobile rom? Do I need to root first? Where can I get the Tmobile rom?
thanks,
I dont think you can do that. It would not work properly.

My understanding is that you can flash other note 3 Roms, just not the Canada/Mex/international Roms. Also, with safestrap, no aroma support, so there are limitations. If you flash a vzw/spr/usc rom, there is no way of editing APN settings, however there is a flashable zip floating around loaded with gsm APN settings.

Honestly I can't say. When I had my at&t note3 safestrapped, I only tried xnote. Since switching I've yet to flash any custom roms. I've been waiting for my white phone to arrive for an exchange so I've been patiently waiting to trip my Knox flag and have some fun.

Do not flash the stock ROM with ODIN.
You can only use custom .zip flashable ROMs.
I've read numerous people flashing the stock one with no issues

I read some one that did it and had no issues works fine
You never flash a stock ODIN ROM from a different carrier. Only custom ROMs and even some of them can lead to a brick.
Is there instructions on how to flash T-Mobile rom on AT&T N900A?
You cannot flash a T-Mobile stock ROM to an AT&T n900a as the boot loader is locked after 4.3.
It might work with SafeStrap or Flashfire but you're gonna end up with crappy cell signal and bugs galore. I wouldn't recommend it.

Moto X Dev question

I just received my Verizon Dev edition and was wondering if I'm limited to Verizon based Roms only?

Once you unlock the bootloader (via Moto's web site), you can flash custom roms and such.
That being said, if your question is.. Can I flash a ROM for the XT1053 to my Verizon XT1060, I would say, try not to, but if you do, only flash SYSTEM.IMG, nothing else. I've seen issues of flashing roms meant for other carriers and trying to revert to the original carrier's rom.

You may wanna start by putting this in the T-Mobile LG G2 section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g2
Usually you need to stick to roms that are marked for your model number.

Sorry I missed that part, if it's a VS980, any rom marked to work on a VS980 should flash fine. Just keep an eye on what baseband is required, some still only work on the older JB baseband (certain AOSP roms), I'd avoid those personally.

You call also flash other variants to the vs980 there is a thread on xda about it. There's a patch that needs to be installed first though
