[Q] SuperCIDing from Sprint to Verizon

Since Verizon is CDMA, would using SuperCID to write a Verizon CID allow me to flash a Verizon ROM?

How would I go about doing this? Do I need to flash a Verizon RUU or custom recovery?

First off, why do you want to do this?
Second, flashing ROMs/Recoveries/Kernels for a different device will not work and can possiblly hard or soft brick your device.
Thirdly, If you want to use the Sprint Phone on Verizon that's a tottoally different issue than flashing a Verizon One ROM.
So in short, Do Not Do It.

Alright, thanks for the reply. Just thought that it was possible due to both carriers being CDMA

Where did you find the file? Do you mean you flashed the tar.md5 to the phone and it works? I'm suffering the same issue. Can't get the S5 to work with an ATT Straight Talk sim even though it's an ATT phone, clean IMEI and the ATT card works in an S4.

Possibly?

Possible to
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Flash supersu
Soff
Change cid and mid to T-Mobile
Run T-Mobile ruu
And eject it to work?

No. the Sprint phone and Tmobile phone are totally different. You will screw up your partitions if you try changing you CID/MID and running the TMO RUU.
Why are you doing this, may I ask? Why not just SIM unlock and use the phone on TMO's network?

Really? I've heard people were able to use this phone on Tmobile. In fact, I was going to do that. I talked to a TMO rep, and she said there shouldn't be an issue.

If you want call and text on other devices to work on a Verizon branded device you will have to convert it to an unlocked U1 device by flashing the unlocked firmware. Call and text on other devices only works with unlocked devices. The conversion is pretty stright forward and is explained in other threads if you search.

yeah... I just didn't want the hassle of having to root this phone. I hear the snapdragon version isn't as simple as it was in the past...

It has nothing to do with rooting. You convert a carrier branded device by using Odin to flash unlocked firmware on the device.

I see. so the only thing that I will not get is further updates from Verizon? all updates to security and software is manually done at that point ?

You will get all the updates the unlocked gets. No need to manually update.

got it. btw. put the stock one in like you suggested. works perfectly. thanks again. i will wait and see if updates notify me. also now I'm curious if leaving it stock will ease up on battery consumption as well.

if it's a US or Canadian model you can't unlock the bootloader.
