Basicly there is one overclocked kernek and a few roms from the same guy. Look in the development section for cdma roms

I see several cdma roms but the all say vzw im assuming that means Verizon wireless. Will those work for Sprint cdma?
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.

i have a t-mobile tab with a shattered screen, and i bought a European Tab to replace it. Question is is there anything in the T-mobile Tab that i can put in the Euro model to get it to use the T-mobile 3g network?
Thank you

It will work - you won't be able to use 4G though.
What about AT&T Note in europe?

More correctly, no 3G since TMo's 4G network is Faux-G!
Basically you'll get EDGE at best.

Hey guys, just curious, as I'm having withdrawals from actually having a decent phone that doesn't make me want to use it as a hockey puck.
I have access to a tmobile Samsung galaxy s2, for a cheap price, if I were to unlock it, would it be capable of running on the Verizon network? Obviously with owning a d3, I have a sim card, would it work? Also, again out of pure curiosity, would an unlocked att phone work on our network?

It all depends on if the phones are capable of running on CDMA/EVDO. Do some research on the phones sorry I'm not much help

Google (your phone model) specs and see if the radio bands are ones that are supported by verizon.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
No the SGS2 uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA. Maybe someone would trade you phones?
Even if the phone has CDMA hardware like any Sprint phone, Verizon will only allow devices on their network if they are authorized for use on Verizon.
What is the model number of the AT&T S5? And what is the international version number? Does anyone know the difference? (example : the s4 is a SGH-i337 and the International is GT-I9505) they had the same hardware. Is this true in the s5 too?
Basically I want an unlocked version but the same hardware as the AT&T.

It will NOT get AT&T LTE unless you buy the T-Mobile version. Just FYI.
Hmm OK so a Tmobile and then Sim unlock it huh? Not afraid of doing it, just want to make sure. I bought a GT-I9305 and found out the same thing, had to sell it and get a GT-I9300. The S4 ATT just happens to be the same as the GT-I9505 but has locked bootloader. Looking to buy out if contract for the S5.

Yes. They will probably charge you more than the $660 on their site. Be prepared to pay over $700.
Cool thanks, that's about what I paid for the GT-I9300 at that time.

I bought a T-Mobile phone for $660 in a company store and bought an unlock code online, took 30 minutes to get it. Works like a charm on AT&T. Rooting and installing a custom recovery takes a couple of minutes, and all the international ROMs I've tried so far work fine.

When I purchased the T-Mobile Note 3 and used it on AT&T, I found my LTE signal to be extremely weak. It would often switch down to H+ when AT&T branded devices would maintain a solid signal.
While the G900T (T-Mo version) supports band 17 for LTE, it is not optimized for this frequency. Performance will be better on the AT&T variant.
So, are they all G900's? It's just the T, or F, or A etc. afterwards that distinguishes it?

Did you have to buy the new special Sim card? Also if you wouldn't mind, can you PM me the site you got the unlock code from?

No, I'm using the same SIM card I used in my S4. I forgot the name of the site, it was cellf something.
Well, as it has been with just about every phone prior to and since S2, ATT/TMO/etc US carrier put that crappy LTE supporting chipset instead of the glorious international guts. So IMO, if you're gonna pay full ~700, you might as well get the unadulterated phone off the bat.
International has 2x quad core cpus, our stateside retards all have same old single quad snapdragons.

So far I've had really good LTE signals. Seems at least as good if not better than my AT&T S4.

Yes but what model is that? That was my whole point in this thread. What international model is most similar to the ATT? (like I said before, the S4 GT-I9505 is the international version of S4 SGH-i337)

-*SM-G9009D_CHN_CTC (China)
-*SM-G900A_NA_ATT (AT&T)

Now I just need to find the right international one to match the AT&T

SM-G900H is the only true model. All others ones are potentially/definitely crippled just like ATT one from what I gather via GSMArena.
9505 was the crappier version of the S4, vs the true 9500.

So? Better hardware and overall performance vs a bit faster Facebook on the go?
Well I just like to match the hardware closer to what I would get here at the store, but just get it unlocked. I have the AT&T S2, the international S3 GT-I9300, the AT&T S4, and now looking to get the international S5. I buy in contract when my upgrade is available, then the international in between.

Don't care really about how Fb loads or not. I like to have the options whether they work or not, thus case being LTE

Shouldn't really be much debate on the international version vs at&t's model. Only thing you would loose is LTE. The international model is fully compatible with AT&T's HSPA+ network. No one seems to give that a thought anymore. Fact is - it performs the best it ever has. Very easy to achieve 9-10mbps down, which is more than efficient for anything.
