I just bought a G4 for my wife from Amazon. Given I read it was an unlocked model I naively assumed that it would be fully TMo compatible.
I don't see Wifi/VoLTE options on US991 model. I don't see any USCellular LG G4 sub-forum, so asking here..
Would s it possible for me to install any of the TMo ROMs to get that functionality on US991 ?
Thanks in advance!

Specifically... the booloader will be unlocakable (or at least easier than carrier restricted versions) and I can falsh roms etc, correct?
I would be bringing this to my T-mobile plan.
Is any of the process made easier by the fact that its an unlocked version?
Thanks in advance

The process would be the same to root and/or unlock the bootloader. Seeing as T-Mobile allows the bootloader to remain unlocked, it's neck and neck with the International variant. I just bought the 920I and that was just because I want to be able to flash custom roms & kernels as soon as they come out, and that's really the only benefit is the dev support. You get wifi calling and LTE advanced calling with the T-Mobile variant so I think if you will be on T-Mobile then I would stick to the T-Mobile S6.

If you have tmobile you're already lucky enough to have an unlocked version. If you buy an international variant then as of now there's a call audio issue regarding using cross variant roms.
If you use a TMO rom on the international variant, you lose call audio and vice versa: using an international rom on a tmo variant. Everything you think you'd be getting as a benefit from purchasing the international variant is actually already included in the Tmo variant.
Verizon and ATT are the ****ers here when it comes to locking their bootloaders.
Buy it from TMO you'll likely save money seen as they're your carrier and it will function properly too.
I'm on xtrestolite with custom recovery root obviously and ktoon kernel if you need proof haha. Tmo S6 here
Haven't had a note in a while and thinking about picking up a note 4. I am with T-Mobile and would purchase the T-Mobile version, I read about different variants and just wanted to make sure they could all be rooted, custom recovery and flashed without issue. In some of the threads here when people have issues, others ask what variant, etc.
Thanks

Get the sm-n910t (t-mobile version). Very mod friendly.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
The T-Mobile version comes with the bootloader unlocked out of the box. You can do whatever you want with/to it.
I just purchase a T-Mobile Note 4 on 11/17/15 from one of their store. The model that I got is the SM-N910T3 and not SM-N910T. It comes with Android 5.1.1 installed instead of 4.4.4. You will probably end up with this model. Does anyone know if this variant is still bootloader unlocked? I also read that the TW 5.1.1 rom has root blocking enabled by Samsung, can anyone recommend a custom kernel that can override this to prevent a bootloop?
T is better for ROM Support VS. T3. T3 may be smooother

You want the T version for more ROM compatibility. The T3 version can be rooted and has a few ROMS but supposedly Samsung changed something in the phone so it has alot less ROM support. It does have root and 1 or 2 good ROM's though.
Root for T3
More info on T3

Did you ever end up buying this phone? I have been thinking about picking up a used one on Swappa to use as my daily driver until Samsung releases the S8 or Note 8. I currently have a LG V10 and even though it has an unlocked bootloater and root, there is zero ROM development for it due to issues with LG firmware/drivers.
i have an unlocked 920t (t-mobile) on att network. should i be using the att section for rooting and roms?
No. Roms are based on your phone model. Stick to the TMobile forums. I know with the S4 the international roms are generally compatible as well so you may check in the General S6 forums, too. Most custom roms list which models are compatible in the OP.
Besides, you won't find much here since the att phones have locked bootloader and no root currently.
great, thanks.
Hello I have a verizon note 4 and am using it on tmobile my question is this, Now that the 910v can be rooted what happens if I root it and download a tmobile rom and install it on the phone? Will it work or will it brick the phone? I have no idea if there is any real difference between the verizon note and the tmobile note besides the carrier. Any input would be appreciated as I cant stand the verizon bloatware and would love to have my tmobile stuff back
thanks in advance
As far I know not possible
Tmobile is GSM model and verizon is CDMA frequency bands different.
I did something similar with AT&T G2 and loaded a Tmobile ROM on it. First you need root and TWRP or equivalent. and then some developer have to created a modified bootstack that are tailored for your phone model to work with the rom. Once you load the bootstack, then you load the rom without the radio. Not for the faint of heart.
Most posts I am seeing about unlocking bootloader and custom roms are for XT1921-5. I cannot seem to find this phone anywhere. Is this the USA variant? The closest I have found is the XT1921-3 (Boost Mobile) variant here
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/boost-...mory-cell-phone-black/6221728.p?skuId=6221728
Would I able to bootloader unlock and install custom roms on this? I'm looking for a backup phone that has LTE 2,4,5,12,13,17,25,26,41,66 bands and this one is perfect but I need to know if I will be able to unlock bootloader and install custom rom.
I can't find any good information about the different variants and what models support what bands and which models can be rooted.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks

I'm just doing "get a free phone from MetroPCS" due diligence so I don't have the phone in hand, but it looks like the XT1921-3 is actually the T-Mobile/MetroPCS (USA) version, which has been problematic for ppl. Good news is that it now has a factory image available (see thread here, although no clear reports on that yet . . . one seems to imply there was a problem with it, but I'm not totally clear).
So I'm not by any means an expert on Motorola firmware, but I'd be surprised if Boost (CDMA, right?) had the same model # as T-Mobile (GSM)--and I'm a little overtired but didn't see any note of the Motorola model # on the Best Buy link you provide.
In any case, not sure about bands and such, but hope that tidbit helps a little, in case you do in fact need something for the T-Mobile variant (-3), or if it's the same as Boost and I'm just a moron.
