Hi, I'm looking at a MetroPCS GS5 at a pretty good price. However, I use T-Mobile, so I want to know if I can flash the T-Mo GS5 firmware through Odin onto this MetroPCS GS5. They are identical in almost every way, including LTE bands. The MetroPCS model is SM-G900T1 whereas the T-Mobile model is SM-G900T.
Thanks in advance

That one will not work since it's a n7000. Any i717 model will work so AT&T, Telus, Bell, Rogers will all work if you're willing to flash a custom radio (mine's a Bell).
. Could someone please help me find the correct settings to make A Verizon LG g3 work on AT&T 4G LTE in Birmingham Alabama. I have already gotten a SIM card that is supposed to work on unlocked phone from AT&T however for some reason I cannot get 4G LTE only H and when I use speed test it only runs a maximum download of about 6.5 mb/s where is the same sim card in my htc m8 will run an average of about 25 mb/s I have tried various APN settings obviously I'm doing something wrong any suggestions will be greatly appreciated thank you in advance
You Must be on 10b or 11b radio with a non stock (Cyanogenmod or AOSP ROMS) to get LTE working on AT&T. That's the only way I've ever been able to get LTE working on my VS985 on Cricket Wireless (which is owned and operated by AT&T). If I use a Stock 5.0 or the recent stock 5.1 ROM with the newer radios (12b and up) I will only get H+.
There is no fix for this that i'm aware of other then running Cyanogenmod and 10b modem.
The Verizon LG G3 (VS985) only contains LTE Bands 4 and 13 (plus the unlockable Bands 3 and 7). Band 13 is only used by Verizon, while Band 4 is used by T-Mobile and somewhat by AT&T in major cities. Outside of those major cities, you'll be on 3G (H+).
If you plan on sticking with AT&T or an MVNO of them, you should pick up the AT&T model G3, as it has AT&T's primary LTE Band 17, and Bands 2 and 5 that they use in some markets.
I currently have an AT&T Galaxy S5 on the Vodafone network. I want to upgrade to the V10 and also use it on Vodafone. Does anyone know the differences between the 2 variants?
They arnt out yet so no one could confirm.
So I'm switching from verizon to T-Mobile after this month and I was wondering what would be the best way to flash the T-Mobile firmware and get rid of the verizon firmware?
Firmware is not the problem. TMO & ATT have GSM radios, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA. Your Verizon S5 *will not* connect to the t-mobile network no matter what firmware you are running. T-mobile probably still has a very generous trade-in program.
Actually the Verizon S5 should work as it contains an LTE radio, meaning GSM functionality is present. Furthermore, the Verizon model comes unlocked as per FCC regulations. You will need to set the proper APNs to get connectivity on the Verizon S5, however.
Short answer: The S5 works on TMO.
I just made the same switch two months ago. I had two S5s and an S4. My dad is still using his VZW S4 on TMO and I used both of my S5s. However, the coverage seemed to be less than optimal and I wanted the WiFi calling options so I bought two used TMO S5s and my dad is getting a Kyocera Hydro. Even with the cellspot extender my dad's S4 won't make a call at his house.
I guess I got it wrong. DOH! Thanks for setting me straight. So what about going the other way, would a TMO S5 work on the Verizon network?
I am currently on AT&T and using a Galaxy Note II.
If I buy an LG V10 phone from T-Mobile, can I use it on AT&T or do I have to switch to T-Mobile?
It is possible to unlock it, but I have read that it is a bit of a hassle.
