Any downsides to installing this hack? I assume this hack will be overwritten by the official ICS upgrade which has GSM enabled as part of the ICS ROM? Does anybody know whether the official droid 4 ICS Rom will force a SIM lock to only use verizon branded SIMs or can we still use other SiMS?

Does anyone know if i can flash any t-mobile rom onto the att note 3? I am rooted and have safestrap !
I thought I could flash the rom onto one of the rom slots. Any advice/links is greatly appreciated
I would also like to know this, gonna help my buddy switch from att to tmobile
Unfortunately it won't work... to the detriment of everyone except AT&T executives.
Besides the n900t stuff not having the proper signatures to run on the n900a, I believe there are hardware differences, like physically removed or disabled frequency capabilities on the transceiver.
Yes! I am using this and works MUCH better on T-Mo

Make sure you pay attention to the Modificatinator file and add the T-Mobile carrier file after installation. Works fine and much better than stock ATT junk rom.
If I have the n900a from AT&T with a locked bootloader due to upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, can I still use the phone on Tmobile or am I skwooed? Will moving to tmobile allow me to use custom roms (without safestrap) again?
You will have to network unlock it to use T-Mobile.
No. It will still have locked bootloaders.
Hey,
I just recently moved to the USA and I am trying to set up my Note 3 to work with AT&T but I'm not sure how to do that.
The phone I currently have is a Rogers Galaxy Note 3 N900W8 (Already knox 0x1), and I'm curious what I need to do to make it work with my AT&T sim card.
I was hoping to stick to ViSiOn-X but from what I can see that is not available for AT&T, so I'll probably just stick with the stock ROM, whichever that is.
Though, I do still have a phone plan in Canada and would like to switch between the sim cards so that I can check my voicemail if at all possible.
Is it possible to set up my phone to work with both Rogers Canada and AT&T USA? Or am I required to purchase a factory unlocked phone to do that?
If it is possible, how?

You need a factory unlock so you can switch carriers now as for the rom I'm not sure if the rom will work on AT&T, you should check the rom forum an see if other AT&T users used it an if don't already know the Model for AT&T is SM-N900A, also you could always try the rom once you get an sim unlock, an try it with that rom but if it don't work flash a rom that you kno will work

Ive got my phone unlocked now, but I think there may be some issues with the ROM. When I first unlocked it I was getting the 4G connection to AT&T. Now I just have the regular phone connection, no 4G. Data is on.
Well im thinking on converthing this phone to XT1095 and use lollipop or use a custom rom with lollipop.
The question is, if i flash any other rom, will i be able to use on cdma still?
bump
As long as the ROM doesn't contain any modem files you'll be fine. I believe that most custom ROMs are only /system and some /data, which means they'll work fine.

Actually, you'll only be able to activate it on US Cellular, not just any CDMA carrier. Sprint doesn't carry the phone and Verizon won't allow you to use it on their network. US Cellular won't let you use it on any other network either, as evidenced by their inability/unwillingness to provide unlock codes.
Edit: in the US, that is. Globally you'd have to get the carrier to modify the phone for you, which may be possible but I don't know about that stuff.

I think you don't understand im already using this phone (xt1093) on another cdma carrier... i live in dominican republic and switched to tricom, sadly can only use 3G in cdma since 4G LTE is gsm.
Can you write some details how can downgrade from OTA updated system 5.1 to 5.0.2 ?

check it out. That guy got it working. Also, US Cellular isn't supported on XDA, hence why we have our own forum.
So here is what I want to do: buy a new Unlocked Note 4 from WIND mobile (canada), to use it for T-Mobile (when I move back to the US later this year).
Here is the problem: The WIND note 4 comes with the LTE disabled. So if I were to bring it back to the US and use my Tmobile sim card, LTE still wouldnt work, correct?
Is there anyway to flash an original T-mobile rom on the unlocked WIND mobile and convert it to a Tmobile device with LTE activated?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
You cannot odin stock tmobile firmware. But you can flash any tmobile stock/custom rom via custom recovery. You will also need custom kernel when flashing tmobile roms. Lte will work fine.
Alternatively you can buy Rogers/bell/telus Note 4, sim unlock it, they will work fine on wind.

So, is flashing the tmobile stock rom necessary to get LTE? or does it automatically activate LTE once I insert my tmobile sim card?
Also, do the note 4's from Bell/Rogers have locked bootloaders?
thanks in advance!

anyone?
I have a N920P sprint note 5. It is unlocked and rooted....i want to know if i could install a att rom on it. Im tired of seeing that sprint splash screen and i cant get 4g on it
I have sm-n920p and flashed the darthstalker rom which has several options for device selection during the install. I installed the tmobile version with no issues besides my network not working, it even listed device info under status as sm-n920t. Mine is not network unlocked but is rooted. If yours is unlocked and rooted I wouldnt think youd have any issues as I did not installing a tmobile rom. Maybe try a rom that has several or a few device compatibility. May or may not be a issue but I would feel safer with a rom that supported a few different models rather then a rom that was specific to a device that's not mine.
I understand exactly what you mean. Hmm i may try this later on today.
It didn't work

Didn't work at all or what did you run into? The first bootup took awhile but worked for me. I was on the noble kernel before flashing in twrp and had oem unlock enabled in dev options. I did the sm-920t choice and worked. Here is official pagehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/development/rom-darthstalker-note5-version-1-aroma-t3212091
The sprint note 5 has different radio hardware than the other note 5's so to get phone calls and data to work you need to run sprint roms. Thats just the difference between CDMA radio hardware and the GSM radio hardware. ***SIM UNLOCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CELL RADIO NOT WORKING ON A NON SPRINT ROM***You can use gsm service with a sim unlocked sprint note 5 as long as you are running a sprint rom. At&t has no root or roms for the note 5 so just stick to the sprint forum and you will be fine.
Right, my data did not work once I flashed the sm-n920t version but everything else seemed ok. I tried using a tmobile sim card and could not because my phone was is not uicc unlocked. He was saying his is unlocked and was wanting to flash a att rom which shouldnt be a problem from my experience unless 920p and 920t are compatible while the att version is not. I think the note 5 is capable of most networks gsm, hspa, cdma, lte, just need the right sim and the phone unlocked.
