Development seems fragmented between all the different carriers.. even with a deodexed stock rooted rom are things "designed" for other carriers not compatible with my Sprint device?
Is it a matter of n7100 vs n7105? Or gsm/lte?

You will probably brick your device flashing another carrier ROM. I say probably as I know of no one willing to experiment on our rather expensive device.

There are some "ports" that have been done between carriers. Know your carrier and flash only roms designed for or ported to that carrier.
All will run on sprint's variant. The radios may be compatible with the ROM with a few mods here and there. You can flash other stock ROMs. Just flash sprint's kernel with another carriers. You'll see a mostly functioning ROM. Only issues are radio related.

I'd proceed here with caution. I've heard of borked boot/kernel image or worse hboot damage requiring either replacement or j tag service. YMMV.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like it's only a matter of radio compatibility when flashing ROMs. If I flash stock sprint radios and a kernel made specifically for the L900 (stock or otherwise) I should be okay based on what I see here.
So it's only ROMs that are in question here? If there's a .zip mod for status bar, camera, gallery, etc, I shouldn't need to worry about what model it's for? Including n7105 international variant .zips -- I see no reason why that shouldn't work. These are all essentially the same device sans connectivity.
I don't mind flashing sketchy things, been doing that for years and haven't had a hard brick yet -- it's actually hard to do. I just want to know what the facts are about what is known to work or not work.

NOT TRUE AT ALL...........if you flash an international variant rom, while you may get it to boot (doubtful), you will not have service and your IMEI/Baseband will be gone d/t the fact that the partitions are slightly different between the variants. the only fix for this is flashing a stock tar that will re-write your partitions and restore to stock. and it simply isnt as simple as just changing the partitions and kernel either.
so no, DO NOT FLASH other carrier variant roms to the Sprint variant
I flashed a att rom and a tmo theme to mine with success.and by success I mean didnt brick. Now as far as booting thats a diff story. The tmo theme booted with problems and the att rom just bootlooped. But as far as I know the partitions layout is the same(not counting the intl'. I havent looked yet) so i think ur safe to experiment with the average rom. I would check to make sure theres no radio or bootloader and you should be fine.

Open the zip and be sure the only things you see are boot.img, META-INF, and system. If so, flash and reboot. If it bootloops, plug in and use adb to run a logcat to see why it won't boot and attempt fix it. A kernel is not enough to brick you unless it gets flashed over the wrong partition. Which I don't believe is a concern here since the partitions are the same across all the note ii's.

The CSC data needs to be replaced. The kernel should be fine. Some of the etc files should probably be replaced. The build.prop needs to be edited for Sprint/cdma.
Check the install script and compare it to sprints to make sure there arent any partitions being formatted differently. I have used a few different at&t roms on mine by doing the above.

i was referring to the international versions as was specifically stated in the post. even if you change the boot.img to the proper one it will not flash properly to the phone because the partitions are different on the INT version.
the US variants all have the same partitions and will flash properly with the carrier specific kernel minus a few bugs here and there. and doing what shiftr182 said will usually get rid of any other bugs.

I had expected the Verizon ROMs would have incompatible radios, but will the root methods and other recoveries/mods work?
Yes I did but it got wiped on accident while flashing roms. It happens and I am sure there will be a fix soon. But quite a few other people have done this.

That doesn't help because the modem is irrevocably flashed to Verizon's version, and we don't have any Sprint radios to recover yet.
If you did flash a Verizon ROM on your Sprint Galaxy Nexus, flash the TWRP recovery, then place this in your Nandroid backup folder and restore.
When Android boots, update Profile & PRL in the About screen, reboot, and data should be working again!

Roms do not contain radios, so yes it would help.
Umm you can flash a nandroid of stock. But the thing that also breaks this is the kernel.
OK , but still a reflash of the rom (every rom includes a kernel) should set him back to good. Period. Needs a stock rom to flash then will be be fine. This is much ado about nothing.

I seen a post where the 4.2.2 Google edition rom was available to flash onto my tmobile S4, I was wondering if I can just flash it after wiping, or if I need the ktoonz kernel? I'm not even sure what the ktoonz kernel is, I've flashed ROMS before, just not on my s4. I'm rooted with twrp. And my build is the UVUAMDL one where I needed to get past boot loader lock thing. Sorry, I'm using my phone and I don't have the right links with me. Any help would be nice

I Highly suggest you don't flash anything until you read up on the forums and figure everything out. Read up on kernels, roms, gapps, bootloader, recovery etc. Then when you get that stuff down read about the roms you want to flash. If you flash am incorrect file you can hard brick your phone.

I want to know if, with a stock rooted tmobile galaxy s4 (UVUAMDL), can I just flash the Google edition rom from twrp, then I'm good to go? And will I lose my root? It looks pretty straight forward, I just want to make sure my phone is Ok for the rom, and if I need the ktoonz file, cuz some people were mentioning it...

I was looking at that, so I wipe everything in twrp, and flash it like normal, but I'll lose root? Download the chainfire zip and install it in twrp as well to get root again?
Quick question, if I ever wanted to send my phone into get serviced, I can completely wipe my phone back to stock by flashing that back on the phone using Odin, correct? That would do the root as well, so when I sent it in, they would be none the wiser?

Will there be completely stable versions of the Google edition s4 released sometime in the future? I'm just seeing way to many different versions of the same thing where some things aren't working properly, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as just flashing the rom. All sorts of other stuff needs to be done like changing build.prop and whatnot. I just want to be able to flash the rom and be done with it... Is that possible right now? Or no. I guess I'm not as familiar with all the terminology as I thought. I still don't know what a kernel really is, I flashed one once and it just made my cwm recovery menu different... And I know I needed a specific kernel to flash specific ROMS.. Is that the case here with these Google edition roms?

on the cm 10.2 instructions it says this to install a modem
do you we need to install this exact modem after each rom install (not just cm) or are there other stock att modems that should be flashed after a rom? I'm pretty new to rooting/flashing on LG. I had an optimus L9 but it seems things changed a little or maybe it's just the lingo. any help would be appreciated. I have decided to stick with LG from here on out so if you have a beginner's tutorial or guide that would explain alot of these things that would be very helpful. one more question I have is that on a roms OP it says to wipe data/cache/dalvik in addition to your system, is this good practice when installing any rom? would wiping the system erase cwm and any root files or am I wrong on that one?
As far as I can tell flashing modems doesn't actually do anything.

Probably because they are operating under the same misconceptions as everyone else. No shame there, because on other devices, it does work, but we have to deal with reality, and that reality is clear: flashing modems on the e980 via CWM/TWRP for reasons yet unclear does not actually change the modem.
Flashing via LG's ancient and super-crappy tools does.
I agree 100% I have tried flashing countless modems every which way possible... and never had it actually change my modem.

Just checked for updates as described in other threads and it found the latest 4.3 update. I have read both positive and negative responses to the update. Some found things they used in 4.1.2 that are being taken away. Some like the new features in 4.3. It will vary from person to person whether the ROM is better for them or not. Fact is, all devices (current and future) are moving forward.
Should I just install the update? Should I make a copy of my current setup with one of the recoveries, then odin back, and run triangle away?
Strange. I went ahead and updated. Even after doing two complete resets, I still have SU app from 4.1.2. I guess it carried the program during the upgrade process?

yes the boot loader is locked. I don't believe there's a workaround it yet. but I'm even sure. you can scroll around through the threads and see if there is. what I did was just update it anyways and tripped my KNOX boot loader to ox1. I didn't have warranty anyways so I'm not tripping over it. and then I just rooted it, flashed cwm and started to flash ROMs.

I think what he was getting at is that you can flash AOSP ROMs, however since they contain a custom kernel it will trip KNOX. So if you are trying to avoid that, then no AOSP.

I'm not sure TBH, very little experience with safestrap.. If you are already 0x1 why not just install a full recovery?

I like the rom slots... Its way nicer to be able to have the current rominstalled and build one on the side... Or i can have a tw and a aosp both installed
Any ideas ppl?
People with unlocked boot-loaders that want to be confined to a bootstrap........ hell hath frozen over.
I just paid a final Verizon bill of almost $1k (including ETF's) because of locked bootloaders and being confined to SafeStrap. I am forever grateful to Hashcode for the freedom we have been given but you guys do realize that safestrap partitions up your internal memory into 2GB blocks for system partition and 2-4GB blocks for data partitions for each slot. If you really use your phone you are going to be plagued with out of memory warnings. Plus you cannot flash kernels meaning no AOSP roms either and no more Aroma installs among other things.
When I had my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and my AT&T Note 3 I always flashed everything to the stock slot and forgo the ROM slots alltogether. Then just backup and restore everything to the stock slot exactly like it was a real recovery. SO you might as well just do the same on a real recovery on the T-Mobile Note 3. Just backup and restore different ROM's (including AOSP!) at will. It may take a little longer to switch betweens ROMs this way but at least you don't have to jump through all those hoops or worse yet really mess up your device using a Safestrap not meant for your device.....all IMO of course.
