As mentioned in the title, i am wondering if this firmware is safe to flash. The model and carrier I have is sprint xt1526. Yes, the bootloader is unlocked. The reason for my concern is because i don't want to end up with a brick. Also, if it did successfully flash, would i still be able to use sprint? Or would it be limited to specific us carrier or carriers? I really want to know, so any answer related to the original question is appreciated!

I can't give you a 100% sure answer on that but I am on VM phone and I was going to try to flash the ret us ROM but got cold feet at the last second and flashed superR's Boost 5.1 ROM and it correctly labeled me VM right of the bat with my LTE texts calls etc and downloaded my vm apps automatically. What version are you using right now? Look in settings>about phone>sim info

Build number is LPI23.29-18-S.11
System Version is 25.11.25.surnia_boost.boost.en.US.Sprint
Flash the Boost ROM. We sprint + vm piggy back from boost. I highly recommend starting with the 5.0.2 Boost ROM and then update to 5.1 like that. Just follow the directions in his thread. The stock or debloated both work for us

OK. Thanks for the response! I will assume that the retail us is not flashable. Anyway, I am not willing to chance it.

No problem. The retail US version probably is flashable, I just don't know what the end result would be

If anybody wants to volunteer to flash the moto e 2015 LTE retail version, please let me know the results. I would try it, but my computer is currently not being very cooperative.
The most recent update breaks the Wifi and cellular on my Virgin Mobile Moto E (XT1526). I tried it through three methods. 1) flashing SuperR's ROM 2) unrooting, pushing the S.11 firmware, as a fresh install, and 3) unrooting, going back to S.2, and then allowing the OTA updates to work their way up to S.11. Once I get S.11, I appear to lose my ICCID, so cell signal shows an exclamation point, and while the phone sees Wifi (it connects to my router), it also has an exclamation point and no IP address or any other info.

I've spent the weekend trying to make a safestrap rom out the newest update from T-mobile. As far as I can tell everything is working the particular steps I did were
Disabled Wi-Fi in stock ROM before flashing
I'm not sure if this does anything but someone suggested this for fixing wifi not always coming up. I'm not sure if it matters but if you don't disable WiFi in the stock slot and WiFi in the SafeStrap slot doesn't work then mention it in the comments.
Create new rom slot of at least the default size
Flash vzwupdat.zip
Flash root, whatever other mods you may want
The kernel is still the old one, I just added the wifi drivers to the original rom to try and alleviate the issues that kept people from being able to turn on WiFi. I also added the build.prop and eri.xml from the stock Verizon ROM to fix T-CDMA64 showing as the Mobile Network.
Will you update now that the OTA for Verizon has been released?
The short answer is no. The Verizon update is the same software wise as this version. The modems were updated and some of the security binaries are updated. If you use this you are essentially using the newest software you could possibly use. Trying to modify Verizon's OTA to work with safestrap is going to be counterproductive because there is so much carrier specific branding and dependencies. This does include all the same camera updates, but to alleviate some of the problems that people have with call quality I will look into a flashable radio if someone else doesn't do it 25/10/13

Excellent, thanks!
What does the eri.xml file do? I'm just wondering if i need it for anything. I have a vzw dev edition and am running the T-Mobile rom. I just added the vzw build.prop and made sure to switch to the right network type lte/cmda auto(prl) every time I boot the phone. No issues so far. Is the eri.xml just for people with safestrap?
Working great. No issues so far.

On most ports from GSM to CDMA the eri is missing an entry to tell the phone "Hey, this network is called 'Verizon Wireless'." It keeps users from seeing the T-CDMA64 as their network provider. If you do flash it on your dev edition I just warn you that this was designed for being used as a SafeStrap ROM. It doesn't contain a boot.img and may not boot on the dev editions.
Does this have a wifi tether enable override so that VZW doesn't get checked?

Only one question before I flash this gem.
Does this cause any problems with safestrap??
I only ask because I flashed the tmo ROM the other day with no issues. Had data and WiFi working great. When I rebooted to get into ss I bootlooped like a son of a beotch. Had to fxz back to stock. Saw a few other users with the same problem flashing the same tmo ROM.
Can anyone comment on this??

I've had no issues with reboots. I've turned off and on, rebooted to recovery and regular reboots and working great.
My only thing, and I'm new to SS so I know it's something I'm doing, is when I switch to stock slot and then back to where this ROM is, I've lost data on the custom slot. Like I clean flashed. Is there a way to maintain all my user data on slot 1 while switching to stock?

Backing up to a new rom slot is really just to have your stock rom on that rom slot. All that is needed is to create the rom slot and then flash this zip.

Theoretically you should be able to use it the same way on AT&T but it may just cause your network to say "Verizon Wireless" in the notification shade and the quick settings tile.

I do not believe this should occur. I would post over on the rootzwiki forum on the SS page because it is probably an issue with SS. Certain user data is getting stored differently because of how the Moto X is set up from what I have gathered. I know Hashcode just change in the new SS where he was storing certain things so that might be part of the problem. Make sure you are on the newest SS and post what occurred over there so hashcode can look into it.

recoveries no, roms maybe, mods probably.
I am willing buy a US990 and flash the sprint GSM rom. I should only need to modify the boot.img right?
No, you would have to modify a lot more. Although the boot.img is a good start you are also going to have to modify the kernel and and maybe wrong but some lib files. I have no idea how close the ls990 is to the us990 hardware and software wise. Here is a whole site dedicated to develoment for your device, now I have no idea if these roms are any good but here is the link: http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/429-lg-g3-development/

In my attempt to unlock US990 for GSM I did folowing so far:
1. I flashed Cloudy 1.3 while selecting the model as LS990.
a. Phone got stuck in boot loop.
b. Lost access to TWRP.
c. Download mode was still accessible, device info showed as LS990 but SWV was still US990.
d. When tried restoring to stock LS990 ZV4, flash tool failed and gave error that device model is different.
2. Restored a LS990 Nandroid Backup.
Results were same as flashing Cloudy 1.3
3. Installed the newly available CM12.1 Unofficial(Thanks a ton to @Seoyne) :
a. Modified telephony on the build.
b. No GSM access yet.

you can flash kernels. but you have to decompile them and use a new dt img. the one specifically compiled for the us990. i found that out when trying to use a dt img from a ls990 kernel.

I am currently running a G900A (AT&T branded galaxy S5 with locked bootloader) i am in the process of buying a used S5 but not sure if the bootloader is locked. Here is the phone info that the guy provided to me.
Sm-g900f , g900fxxu1anc9 , 4.4.2
Like i said I'm on AT&T S5 so i am not familiar with the F models and i know T Mobile is the T models but didn't know if anyone knows anything about these phones cause I'm wanting to flash some T Mobile roms. Any info would be much appreciated.
Is it rootable through towel root? Can i use TWRP or CWM with this device. It is carrier unlocked and he is using it on T mobile (gsm) so I'm guessing it will work on AT&T since they uses GSM as well. Thanks for any help.
That's the international version. So should be fine. I'm not sure about lte bands.. U will have to check that info out. The phone should work fine though.
The g900f is probably the most desired s5.. As its not carrier branded.
If I had to choose one I'd get either it or the g900t (T-Mobile)

Ok thanks. I got lucky and found it for $200. The only thing that worries me is that since it's not carrier branded can they report it stolen in any way after i buy it and have the IMEI blacklisted. Normally I'd just meet at the phones carrier store and have everything documented but not sure how to go about it without it being carrier locked.
I'm not sure about that. You can ask for the imei number and check it on swappa.com
If it comes back clean that may alleviate some of your worries

Muniz stock rooted and debloat a bit if you want stock touchwiz. Or.. If you want more plain android, aosp, try cm12.1 currently in nightly stages but I think its stable enough for daily driver.
Some ppl like twisted Lolipop....

Ok i got the phone, so now onto rooting. Do i need to take it down to 442 to root it can i root straight from 5.0 thanks for the help getting me started
U can root from there.
Find a guide. Make sure you use proper files. (Measure twice cut once)
Do not update to of6 threw normal ota updates or flash the factory of6 firmware as it can't be downgraded I think. If you want to goto the latest which is of6 follow muniz guide
Take your time make no mistakes.
I would recommend installing a custom recovery. Twrp. After that you can easily move back and forth to whatever roms you want, trying different ones.

OK this is very very simple. No need to unlock sim. Download a rom from whatever service provider ie... att tmobile. The only thing you need is for it to have an aroma installer format your memory put your new Sim card in flash then go and download new recovery for the phone ie.. 900t as your recovery is 900p after then find a stock rom flash new recovery then your new stock rom and poof profit 4g. New phone. Fckn magic and I am a novice who messed with everything everyone else said with no luck best was hspa. But it would always jump towers roam no signal blah blah. Now I feel like I have a new tmobile phone 28mbs download .is the lowest I have pulled.

4........INSTALL THE ATT...TMOBILE... ROM IT PROBABLY WON'T BE STOCK BUT ONE
5...... REBOOT.
6.....Now YOUR PHONE Is T-mobile or att.
Nit finished though
7..... Download a CUSTOM recovery for the company you switched. to I.e....twrp 2.8.7. 900t
8..... Now you can stop or what I did just to make sure things went smooth when completing the switch I installed a stock rom called the company bam

AS YOU ARE USING THEIR SETUP UNBLOCKED THEIR BANDS THE ONLY WAY TO TELL THIS WAS NOT THAT COMPANY PHONE IS THE IMEI STARTING wITH 99 and the frame under the battery Haz it mark.

Ok, re read again your instructions.
Flashed the stockish lollipop T-Mobile rom.
I am all ready Sim unlocked, so can't address the sim unlock.
It seems the T-Mobile rom shows the 4G icon when connected as UMTS.
Speed test shows the same 2.5 megs. I get all ready, on any other Rom.
My Verizon phone with the same Sim gets 4 times the speed on LTE.
Thanks for working on this!

First off, thank you for this thread! I have two questions. What about getting it to work with Straight Talk? Also, what 5.0 ROM did you use that had the Aroma installer.
Just pick onone you like they will tell you if he use aroma on the first page. And yes it will work for straight talk

Yes but the only one I can find is 4.4.2 and I am on 5.0. Is it okay to downgrade to kitkat? Didn't know if it might brick it or not. Just flashed a Tmobile ROM N900TUVUFOB6-frequentc, ROM for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 frequentc but it didn't have AROMA installer.

Just don't mess with the bootloader and you'll be fine

Yeah so I've been flashing ROMS for quite some time. In fact I use multiboot on my Nexus 6 but anyway. I have 2 Note 3s and just bricked one of them when I flashed the wrong recovery in Flashify. I am going to try and restore it with ODIN and I hope it works. I flashed Darklord's Note 5 port which was absolutely stunning till I killed the phone with the wrong TWRP recovery. The phone had the SIM not valid in another language so I'm guessing flashing the right recovery would have made it work for T-mobile. Anyway, this will be my first brick after all of these years. My other Note is booting now and I hope the T-mobile and Straight Talk sims work. If per chance it does, I can then flash the Darklords ROM and still have service? I ask because you said you can go ahead and flash any ROM you like. Edit: I am having a hard time getting this to work. Is there any way you could just tell me what particular ROM you used because now I tried the Kitkat ROM and it will not boot. Please help. Thanks!
Ok follow the directions next time I don't know if you can Odin because of adb, but Samsung has an app, don't use flashify for this use twrp don't download a T-Mobile recovery till after u flash the aroma ROM then flash T-Mobile recovery then any T-Mobile rom

I completely understand that but can you please link me to the ROM you used or any Lollipop ROM that works? I ask because I cannot find ONE with Aroma installer for T-mobile that is 5.0. The kit kat ROM I just installed is stuck on the Samsung boot animation and won't boot.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S9+ that was originally on Sprint, but I unlocked it with them after paying it off and moved to a different carrier (Mint Mobile.) However, it is still full of the sprint bloatware and always prompts for carrier updates that never work. I'm assuming this is because it is trying to get Sprint stuff still?
I was thinking of flashing to the unlocked rom, but I am a bit puzzled with this phone. It seems tricker than other phones I've flashed. I've flashed all my other android phones previously, but I'm nervous and don't want to brick this device by flashing the wrong file! Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
Model: SM-G965U
Software Version: G965USQS3BRK3
Hardware Version: REV1.1
Thanks in advance!!

It doesn't just download the firmware from the new carrier? My bought the unlocked model couple days ago and it downloads the carrier firmware

Mine didn't... We left sprint about 4 months ago and it still has all the sprint bloatware and the splash screen, etc... I can't get it to go away! Sprint confirmed the device is completely unlocked on their end.
I thought it was going to switch firmware automatically with the new SIM but it didn't.

I have seen phones to that. I tried metro PC's and some Sprint stuff stayed on my S8 at the time. Then when I when back to Sprint some metro stuff stayed. I even put a vzw Sim into it and vzw stuff stayed to. Even the unlocked S9 gets the bloadware when you add your Sim. It sucks

You could flash the U1(factory unlocked) firmware ending in 3ARK5. It was recommended to me to use the one with product code XAA, which I guess is purely carrier-free. When you flash it you'll want to use the patched Odin and use CSC rather than HOME_CSC, so that it will fully wipe your phone and set everything all up to work properly according to your sim card.
@YrrchSebor, I couldn't find 3ARK5/XAA. I did find 3ARJ5/XAR here:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=111A0940FA9A11E89F15FA163EE8F90B
Will that do the trick?

That may well work just fine, but I used XAA from Updato just the other day!

I actually flashed over from Verizon over a month ago, and I got a string of OTA updates up to ARJ6, but for some reason I got no update to ARK5, so I just flashed it manually. The main thing is to use a firmware with the same bootloader version, which you have by chosing one with a 3. I will say I couldn't be happier since switching to the unlocked firmware.
Ok, thanks! I'll give it a try this evening since you've already had success with that version.
I have Odin3 v3.12.3. Would you mind sharing the Odin version you used? I want to make sure I don't mess up this device.
Thanks again!

Hmm, that Odin might be an official one? You want the one with patcheD in the file name, looks like you can get it in the first post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Reason for this is that official Odin will not flash a firmware that doesn't match up with what is already on the phone, so the patched version ignores that check.
Awesome. I'll download that one, then.
Thanks again for your help!
Sounds good, good luck and keep us posted.
Sorry, one more question to clarify- should I just clash the CSC or would you recommend I do BL, AP, and CP as well?

No problem, you'll wanna do all of them. Definitely AP because I believe that's the system with the apps(or lack of) and everything else. I did all four of them and that way my phone is fully as if it was a U1 out of the box.
Sweet. And I should just leave USERDATA blank right? So it is a complete factory reset?
Yep, you won't find a userdata in that download anyway. Just use CSC instead of HOME_CSC and it should all be good. Back anything up first if you really need it later. after the flash it will boot up and then shut down again so that it can configure everything according to your sim, so make sure and let that happen.
Success! Working better than before now. Thanks for your help.
Arright, glad you got it working, enjoy! One of my favorite things about the unlocked firmware has got to be the free built-in caller ID
