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.

Have you tried it. Then dont post on my thread what am I spamming a work around that will help ppl. Your sad my friend

so, where is your work, i have note 3 sprint and i want activate 4g in europe

OK so first off...Wow try to help ppl out. You guys r a bunch off asshats, I believe I explained in the first post how to do it. And the last guy that made a post did I say Europe international unluck. My obvious answer would be just follow the one of the other post because unless your staying their I don't even know what carriers they have. But to domestically turn your sprint phone into lets say att or tmobile ir verizon. All notes have same hardware inside the only different is the locked bands you can't use. So I am going to try and make this simple as I can.
1... ROOT
2.... INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
3.... DOWNLOAD A ROM WITH AN AROMA INSTALL AS THIS WILL LET IT BYPASS THE CHECK FOR THE CORRECT PHONE BECAUSE AS OF THIS POINT YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY IS SUPPOSE TO ONLY FLASH 900P ROMS.. THE AROMA BYPASSES THIS.
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
NO SIM CARD ERRORS AND FULL 4G
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.
FLASH WHATEVER ROM YOU LIKE AFTER THAT .
PLEASE STOP ACTING AS THOUGH I DID SOMETHING WRONG TRY, RECORD IT I JOHN BEIL WILL BUY YOU A NEW PHONE IF IT DOESN'T WORK. BUT WHEN YOU FIND THAT I FOUND THE EASY WORKAROUND SECRET DONATE THANK AND SHARE TOY STORY PLEASE & THANK YOU

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

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.

FYI T Mobile rom works fine on ATT G2

Not responsible for damaged phones, use at your own risk!
I installed the Stock rooted T Mobile rom by Scrosler posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459677
After flashing that rom from recovery, I used Scrosler Stock loki'd ATT boot img found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45755689&postcount=3
After booting, you have to setup an ATT APN. I used this one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41717915&postcount=9
APN settings are found under System settings / tethering & networks / mobile networks / access point names / "menu soft key" new apn. Be sure to save when done.
After this you have a completely functioning T Mobile rom with theming for the home launcher on your ATT D800
Of course build prop will need to be changed to ATT settings, but will work as is.
Thanks to Scrosler for all the need files and his time to do this!
Edit, you can load the build prop from clean Rom 1.1 to get it back to ATT.

Does this also Enable tmobile aws hspa bands?
Not sure what issues Scrosler was having porting it over then. I think I'll wait for his port though, CleanROM is just running too well for me to make a change.

i might try this out myself. don't know what it does for the bands, but i unlocked my at&t G2 when i first got it and i've been able to get T-Mobile 4G and 4G LTE service with my T-Mobile SIM. coverage and speeds are not as good as at&t in a few spots.
@op - what other benefits (if any) have you seen with the T-Mobile ROM? thanks.
The roms are basically the same, however the T-Mobile Rom has launcher theming built in. Hopefully in the future this will help developers build for more than one carrier.

Any adverse affects of running this ROM? You have me tempted just to have themes and the option to opt out of carrieriq.

looks like you forgot step 2 in the original post (flash the att loki'd boot image). reboot to recovery using the hard keys (see this post for steps, copy the att loki'd boot image to your phone and flash with TWRP and you'll be good to go. or, you can restore your backup from TWRP (assuming you made a backup).
thank you so much I am back in to recovery and flashing my nandroid backup. I am going to give this another try but want to just clarify that I am doing it correctly. If I understand properly I need to flash the T Mobile firmware. where I need the clarification is do I just simply put the boot image as the second file to flash so that they flash one after another, instead of what I tried the first time which was to flash the firmware first then go back into recovery and then flash the boot image which is what screwed me up first time. Does this sound like I have it under control this time
Why did you do this? The only plus so far I see is you got rid of the att on the left top corner?

yes, that's what i did. flashed the ROM and the boot image one after the other.
good news!! I have the ROM up and running the only thing left to do is the new APN setting for AT&T but the file you indicate to use is the same exact file for step 2 am I missing something? Also if that is the right file do I just simply flash it like normal, or is there a different method to apply it? thanks again for all of your help sorry to be a pain in the butt

IM porting. This is not a porting. What I am doing is a but more complex than flashing another ROM and changing the boot image.

Nope, I can post a launcher later, I have them working fine on my AT&T G2 running CR 1.1
Also, just an FYI, you can use the Korean version and the Verizon version as well...
But on the Verizon version the kernel is built to read the sensors different and you will need to swap the kernel modules because of this.
Also, you can swap the APN file too before you flash and yo wont have to worry about APN's.
Just sayin....
Oh and one other thing...
I accidentally deleted the boot.img so maybe OP can upload it please?
Otherwise I will make a new version when I get home.

[Q] att note i717 on tmobile

So I was given an galaxy note i717 att version the other day and I'd like to use it on tmobile. Anyways I unlocked the phone and flashed tmobiles radios/modems on it but I want to use a different rom on the phone. Will I mess up the phone if I put a rom on it because i changed the network modems?, and if not which rom should I use with my att note i717 on tmobile?

You can run any rom you like if you've flashed the right version of recovery. There are several 4.4.2 roms available if you want to run the latest. Depending on your area, you may get as good a signal with an att modem. Personally I'm running the BlownFuze 4.4.2 with the UVLG3 modem, with no major issues.

Yes, make a CWM backup first in case something goes wrong. Also, make sure you're running CWM 6.0.4.3 before you flash a 4.4.2 rom

Any JB and up roms, you will need to flash gapps again, but your apps will come back when you log in your gmail. Just read the OP for rom you use and there will be a link to appropriate gapps, though many are the same.
If your new though, I would advise you to read up a bit. Nobody is going to replace your phone if you dont understand and as far as I know, nobody has invented a time machine yet.

Same here - never changed a radio. I have rooted and customized a few of i717 and the previous radio seems to either stay on or in some cases such as BeanStalk Rom it replaced my radio. Either way they are all on target with TMO.

How do I install CM11 on MJ9 firmware?

Hello all. New to the Verizon note 2 but not the forums. I have a Note 2 that I used odin to get up to MJ9 from the 4.1.2 firmware. I have safestrap installed but when I go to install CM11 it just hangs on the boot animation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
You have to wipe system, data and cache before flashing (installing) CM 11. Also make sure you have the correct CM 11 because its different for each carrier. I personally have the US Cellular Note 2, it will let me install Verizon things because the physical device is the same but things like calling and data doesn't work or it might boot loop or get stuck like yours is doing. I know I got confused when I first started flashing things to my phone by trying to flash the international model files and they wouldn't work.

Thanks for the quick response!
I got the one for the i605. I actually have AT&T and would like to use AT&T service on this note 2. I just wasn't getting service where I live for some weird reason unless I use an ATT phone. I created a second slot did a complete wipe and install, then restart and now it's just black. I can reboot and get into recovery though.
You cannot use the Verizon Note 2 on AT&T because the Verizon is CDMA network and AT&T is GSM. There is a hardware difference.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then as I understand things with SafeStrap, you have to use a Samsung-based ROM as you can only change the ROM and not the kernel. Trying to install CM11 will not install the CM-based kernel, so it won't boot. If your bootloader is unlocked, you shouldn't be using SafeStrap as it's only a workaround for those of us who can't unlock our bootloaders.

How do you unlock bootloader? D:
If you're on MJ9 or anything newer, you can't... Verizon locked the bootloader down so tight that nobody has been able to unlock it, and from what everyone has been saying around here, it may never happen. This is exactly why this will be my first and last Verizon phone... every other carrier's version is unlockable, but Verizon feels the need to dictate what we can and can't do with the devices we paid for... unacceptable.
Since I'm on US Cellular and they don't lock the boot loader I didn't know about that. Sorry. I don't understand the whole reason for locking it in the first place. Plus with the law changing they should allow it to be done.
Maybe I can find a gsm note 2 board lol. I built this note 2 from like 5 bad ones but should have thought about the Verizon being a doucher thing lol
I'm not entirely sure what safestrap entails. What I do know is the Verizon note 2 is a world phone and you should be able to use at&t on it. I'm currently running beans rom and I'm on straight talk with it. I am unlocked though. But the Verizon note 2 does support gsm bands (not the lte bands though)

Unfortunately that law has to do with unlocking the phone for use on other carriers, not unlocking the bootloader to allow the installation of custom ROMs and kernels.

Safestrap is a workaround that allows the use of a custom bootloader, but it's somehow running alongside the existing one without actually replacing it (or something like that... I'm not a developer, so I'm hazy on the details), so it is very limited in what it can do. Since the kernel can't be changed, it will only work with specific ROMs that use the stock Samsung kernel, and even then not all of those ROMs are guaranteed to work. I also don't know if it can be used with Android 4.4 KitKat as I have not tried... there may be some information on that in the Safestrap thread.
I swapped to an ATT board lol thank you guys. I'm an ATT customer anyways but could only find the Verizon board at the time. I got dn3 on it now (So amazing!) Thanks for the help guys. I hope soon someone cracks open the Verizon bootloaders!! It's your device! You pay on it every month! Well really just for their service... The device is yours.

Not correct Verizon 4g LTE phones use sim cards and are world phones so they have both a CDMA and a gsm radio I've used mine on straight take with att service you won't get 4g data speeds only h+ just have to put in the new dim and correct apns
And as far as the op's questions as one response stated if ur boot loader is locked safestrap is only compatible with 4.3 touchwiz based Roms and ROM slots don't work either you u have to flash over stock ROM slot

I Googled it and you are correct. Though the us cellular model has a Sim card it is only for data.

international rom fully working on Verizon Note 3

So I went ahead and risk to flash this rom. The developer said it support all note 3 models.
It is a S5/ note 4 rom. I like it. Using it as driver until jasmine updates to 2.5.
Anyways there some things of the note 4 s note that I can't use because of Knox. Here is the rom and some screen shots from me. By the way I have t-mobile service. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-t2891226
Thanks. I might give this a shot myself
?Galaxy ?Note 3?
I tried to install this on ROM slot 1 to give it a try, but it wouldn't boot. How did you install this?
I tried it on stock slot and it booted but no 4glte and lotsa bugs. . Sticking to JasmineROM 2.4.1
?Galaxy ?Note 3?
Yeah flashing a rom on slot 1 doesnt seem to work. I get lte on tmobile service. But the only bug I found was the after a reboot I loose cell connection and cant get it back.... But I'm testing roms from other variants without a kernel and so far im getting them working. We do have the same motherboard so there shouldn't be a problem on porting these roms. As of right now im porting hyperdrive from tmobile variant since its more updated than ours. Once I get it all working fine. I'll ask the developer if he let me take the porting of that here since he doesnt have a verizon note 3. Me and a friend also trying to port the sprint rom 4.4.4
What I really really really want is the liquidsmooth rom for retail edition. . Why won't they just unlock the bootloader already lol ?
do you guys know if their will be any lollipop ROMs for the Verizon Note 3? (non-dev)
Flashed on slot 1. Was pretty smooth for me, but no SMS/4g obviously. I'll try flashing NC4 radios to see if that does anything. Thanks for the find!

Thanks ,; I will try it again after work. I am using kernel NC2. I am also going to try unmodded version. First I tried v10 modded.
Can anyone link to a working kernel for this rom? Nc2 or nc4 flashable zip if available. Thanks. Found only odin versions

Still don't have an option to change the Apn . Frustrating because seems like a good rom to try out[emoji20]

If it's such an easy task why don't you unlock the bootloader? If you really really really want liquid smooth, perhaps make a more informed purchase next time and buy a dev unit or a phone whose manufacturer supports unlocking like HTC or Motorola.

You can access the apns by using voice dialer and saying APN or use *#*#4636#*#* :thumbup:

With a locked bootloader you will not find a flashable kernel. You can only odin flash it.

[SOLVED]Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T1(MetroPCS) HELP!

In my attempts to root this device my boot was damaged. I can get into stock recovery and download mod but of course I can not find any roms including the stock for this device. Can someone PLEASE send me there boot.img. If you have the full stock rom for this model SM-G360T1, that would be awesome too. THX!

Ok so I should have more faith in myself. So by the end of my nightmare I messed up my boot AND my recovery and could only get into download mode. On a hunch I got ahold of the stock rom for the SM-G360T which is the T-Mobile version of this phone and being as they run on the same network(Same company now) the boot.img and recovery.img WORK ON THIS MODEL. Im back in my phone and everything is running perfect. So for those out there that know WAY more about making roots and roms you might be able to use this stock rom to finally root this monster. Or at least if you soft brick your device you can use these files to get back into your phone until we are able to get the stock rom for this phone. The link to the stock rom for the SM-G360T is below. Hope we get a root for this phone soon. THX!
Im a noob poster on Xda so I cant link it but just go to sammobile.com and search for SM-G360T and make sure you sign up and activate ur account its free you just have to do that or the download link is broke. Have fun.
Did you have to do any unlocking?
im currently downloading the tmobile sm-g360t image( i also have the metro sm-ge360t1) which i had soft bricked by flashing a root for the h* model. I just wanted to know after odin the tmobile imagine were you just able to pop in you're metro im and go? thanx

Ya bro I did the extact same thing with the H root. Just put the boot.img in a tar and flash it like u did the H and it will fix it. You might get a security message after but u can just go to Kies and update back to stock if you dont mind losing all your data. Cheers.
The whole rom isn't tested

I extracted just the boot.img and made my own tar to flash just the kernel, which was the problem. Flashing the whole rom isn't what you need to do in this case. Just make a mental note that you can you use the boot.img and recovery.img to get back into android.
Hello this is androidadmirer
i recently bought a samsung galaxy core prime from metro pcs
out of the box lolipop 5.1.1
i have an idea how to break this phone loose
but i need some input from you all to see if i'm wrong or if this is possible
so my plan is to use odin to flash the samsung core sm-360hu version firmware and they have a working twrp recovery
then make a rom with the t mobile firmware and insert su in bin and xbin (the t mobile firmware works perfect because it's the same network and same android 5.1.1 o.s
this sounds really good in theory but i don't know if i am totally right
can someone chime in on this please
any help will be very appriciated
Let me know

Let me know if that custom recovery works if not u can use the sm-g360t (t-mobile) to get back though if I remember right the phone has to be rooted for twrp to work right not sure....also you should be able to get the stock rom from smart switch if you force the update that way you have the rom that was made for it as a base...I will try and get the rom and post it I was just checking and there is an update. Let me know

im gonna try and flash the galaxy grand prime rom and then use odin to flash a recovery on it because its only 4.4.4 so my thought was to flash the "downgraded 4.4.4" then flash the twrp and then make a rom from the t mobile odin firmware
where is the link? thanks

Hi. Can you post the link to download the firmware ? Thanks
SM-G360T1 "boot.img" And "recovery.img" Files
I just uploaded the "boot.img" and "recovery.img" from the latest stock update for the SM-G360T1 on this thread here if anyone needs it in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62457159&postcount=42
EDIT: Updated this post today with ODIN flashable boot and recovery files. Be sure to read the whole post before flashing. Thanks!
I tried the F, H, & "lte" versions firmware, still no positive results, I keep having to flash back to the stock boot.img and recovery.img that bogarty has just linked above.... we need to find a way to unlock this bootloader on this devicez firmware... TWRP seems so close to working.
Huh?
TEFjLONjDON said:
Ok so Unlocking the Phone for use on other carriers is not the same as unlocking the bootloader. thank fully our bootloader is not locked... But it is always a good idea to completely free your device.. SO
As long as you own your device out-right and it was purchased >90 days ago, then Metro cant say no.
This post is just for those that don't already know, (make sure you do this first before you flash a recovery or try a root method)
The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime comes locked from Metropcs by default. But after you buy it and its yours..
just call them @ (+1-888-8METRO8) or (1-888-863-8768)
1. Ask for tech support
2. Ask for the unlock code,
3. Tell them you leaving the carrier.. or the country.. and they will give you the unlock codes (plural 2 codes one for the Device and the other for the Sim card if you say your leaving the country).
4. Put in the code and your good to go..
PS... Its your device.. Bought and payed for...... They really can't say NO..........

so i did the root on my phone.... Can i still unlock my phone?
send from hdx 7 using tapatalk
I didnt found a way to unlock my sm-g360t1, i made the root and tryed several boxes that told me "device unlocked" but wasnt true. Have to pay 24 bucks online to whitelist imei and unlock it trought the device unlock app. I flashed the stock rom from sammobile before but maybe works with the rooted phone too. Problem solved for me
so i got the frp message. odin flashed stock recovery and boot now it gets stuck on the metro pcs screen..... FML can anyone help me fix this problem ?
I had to flash the stock from sammobile SM-G360T1 is what you have to search for then start over but make sure the oem unlock is switched to in that causes the frp (factory reset protection)
---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------
Or just wait If I remember correctly it took my phone several minutes to boot after flashing stock
