No you will not be able to flash anything else as of now and you will probably not be able to use 5g until we get root

All,
Wondering what is the general rule of thumb about flashing the international firmware(think they on M version now?) and flashing the 855 Roms? How badly will this effect my 850 At&t G3? Can I even doing it without bricking my phone?
Thanks for any opinion.

Unless said otherwise, you should never flash a ROM that was made for a different version of the one you own.
Also, chances are that it won't even let you flash it cause of the updater-script (fail safe).
Got it! So I'm pretty much stuck with waiting for AT&T to update the firmware of my phone. I'm more concerned about firmware rather than ROM's since the AT&T version is still on the 'D' version of LG's firmware and the international version already on 'N'. Would like to update the firmware ASAP to fix some bugs.

You can try the modified international stock ROM from AndroidUser00110001, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-poweruser-edition-v1-modified-t2930038
I'm backing up things to try it :fingers-crossed:
Hello everyone. I have a Verizon M8 (unlocked/S-off), and I have switched to AT&T.
In order for my phone to work, I loaded ARHD (great ROM, btw), as the ROM I was using while I was on VZW did not want to play nice with the AT&T SIM card.
Everything is now working except for WiFi and LTE.
Based on what I've read, LTE on AT&T ain't happening on my device due to lack of frequency band support. But the WiFi problem is likely related to firmware, and therefore (I assume), fixable.
Here's my question: is it possible after I SuperCID my phone, to install the WWE firmware to fix the WiFi problem? Or will this brick my phone?
Thanks!

If your phone is from V you should stick to Verizon firmwares and kernels. There may be exception, but as far as i know Verizon and Sprint phones have other differences from GSM variants, not only firmware and/or kernel etc. Yes, your device can be used WW, but i'm pretty sure you cannot convert to full WWE. I went so far that i used QPST configurator and RFNV manager to unlock all the bands of my phone and yet i can't get LTE to work. I do hope someone here prove me wrong, but for now i'm happy i can use my phone in eastern Europe.
Thanks for the input. I was afraid of that. So I guess I'm stuck until new VZW firmware gets released, and then maybe my WiFi will work?
I guess I could look for a ROM that is using a different base and try that.

WiFi not working could be kernel related. What kernel are you running - stock or something else. I'm using lunarkernel+viperrom.
When i read carefully, you didn't mention on what firmware you run ARHD
3.28.605.4

Well, it's the right one for the job. My guess is kernel is causing non working WiFi, but i could be wrong. Did you tried some custom kernels?

Rogers is a GSM carrier .. nearly all the roms in the M8 international forums will work fine on your device
it's a good idea to update the software OTA fully before you begin the bootloader unlock / custom recovery / Rom flashing
Would that be the same for the samsung galaxy s5? If it's from rogers cause it seems like s5 has alot of models etc

The s5 has locked bootloader
So does that mean if I want to get back to flashing Roms and having the most opportunity, I should get a m8?? Cause the compaptability of Roms with s5 is limited with model??(GONNA assume that's what locked boot loader means)
Aside from ROMs specifically intended for CDMA variants (Sprint & Verizon) and dual SIM variant (if there are even any ROMs) any ROMs meant for the M8 can be flashed on your Rogers variant.
Aside from the exceptions listed above, the M8 versions are identical in hardware, aside from minor cosmetic differences like carrier logos.
You might need to update your firmware to run the current ROMs (s-off required).
Anyone confirm that you can unlock the ATT variant and flash it to be fully functional on all Tmobile bands?
Going to pick one up but need to be sure it will work. Thanks!!!
Consider it confirmed...plenty have done it including me. You may not be able to change the kernel, but there are custom touchwiz roms you can use. Just read read and read some more before making any changes.
Sent from my i747 on T-Mobile that's getting awesome LTE speeds.

if you ever updated to kit kat or newer basebands+modems, you are out of luck with Loki or installing ANY aesop custom roms or Cyanogenmod. They have towelroot but that's enough for some people, but you are stuck with laggy Touchwiz. It's worth paying extra for the Tmobile version
Please reply cause I'm thinking to buy htc one

Stock means Google play version?
Stock means either the HTC Sense (official) Based ROM
or the Google Play Edition (GPE)
It depends on what version (CID). For the vast majority, yes you will get OTA as long as you are on a stock HTC ROM (not custom, or any system files altered in the stock ROM) and have corresponding stock recovery.
But for some US variants (AT&T, Verizon, maybe others) the OTAs are sent via the carrier's network, and you will not get them if you aren't connected to that specific carrier. This can be circumvented on the AT&T version with s-off if you change the CID and MID to "convert" the phone to another version (not possible with Verizon CDMA version).
