Hello, I frequent the CDMA Hero boards several times a day and the subforum lacks active moderation. Control of stickies, keeping threads on topic and maintaining the general peace.
Here is a thread from the subforum that several users have mentioned, requested an active moderator.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598677
Yes, we desperately need some help over there. It's a bit of a mess right now but has the potential to be a great forum!
Thank you obelisk79 for spearheading this.
I don't use the device nor am I familiar enough with Android to be effective there. However, I'll bring it up to the mods and see if we can't get someone to take a closer look. I'll check things out now and see how they look too.

Thanks, the subforum has needed serious attention for a week or so.
Glad to help however I can. If you do see something that may need some attention, please send me or another mod a PM and we'll take care of it.

Thank you for paying attention to this. The threads you have stickied will be a great help to people looking for info or ROMs.
There is one ROM thread you overlooked though:

Please sticky it.
Thanks again!

Hmm.. didn't see that one last night. It's stuck now, thanks.
You can request mods?
Sorry about asking.
Our subforum was just feeling a bit neglected. We were just looking for someone to come in and clean things up a bit. The mods have taken care of things for us which his greatly appreciated by all the CDMA Hero users.

As the title states, I am using my unlocked Verizon galaxy S4 on T-mobile. The problem I am having is that because it is loaded with all of Verizon's software it doesn't function the same way as an S4 from T-Mobile would. I get edge, 3G and, H+ Data connectivity but, it is spotty and more edge than anything.
My question is:
Is there a way to basically transform this Verizon phone into a T-Mobile phone by flashing T-mobiles radio firmware, Kernels and, OS? I cannot find this question being asked anywhere and I have been scouring the internet for 2 days. I am rooted and running CWM recovery. I have been an avid modder since the release of the first Cyanogen mod for the T-Mobile G1. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't care how technically complicated it is. If it is AT ALL POSSIBLE,,, I just want to do it.
I am not trying to be mean in saying what I am about to say next so please, no one take this the wrong way.
If you do not know the answer to this question please do not post one. Do not post a response of NO just because that's what you've heard or assume is correct. I am posing this question to experienced developers NOT modders like myself who simply use others work for our devices. I did find in a Google search where someone posted a tutorial on how to do this but, for reasons that I am not aware, the thread was discontinued.
Thank you for any help. I refuse to give up on this. I've made it my mission and I will not quit until the phone explodes.

This paragraph is unnecessary. If we are posting in the QnA section we are either providing our knowledge or telling toy that this question has been answered already. There is rarely any trolling on here. (At least in this section) If we are replying to your question with an answer than it is probably the beat answer we can provide. if we reply with a few word response than take it. We do this on our free will. Take any reply you get seriously no matter how long the post.
Now on topic, you can only flash an m919 ROM on any other s4, besides the i9500. Not sure about radios, but DO NOT flash an m919 Kernel* on your Verizon s4. Only do it if you want a fancy paperweight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am here to help and provide knowledge to help others with there problems/issues. If you do have a question don't be afraid to shoot me a PM and I will help you and put you in the right direction to the best of my ability and will get your problem and/or issue solved.

I have been on here for years. there have been many times over the years that I have helped others do something that some said to be impossible and there are time when people have helped me do things that were said to be impossible. that paragraph was not aimed at you so do not take it personal. I've just been on here long enough not to be irritated by trollers but, rather by people who do not have any clue what they are talking about answering questions they do not know the answers to simply so they can attempt to look smarter than they are. if this does not apply to you then ignore that paragraph but, you cannot say that it wasn't necessary. You say, "we are providing our knowledge" this is a broad statement that you cannot make because you can only speak for yourself and those that you know personally. unfortunately there are many more than you and your friends on the internet. So if you understand that that wasn't directed at those that are helpful, there there is no need for debate
Thank you for the info though.
Not asking for debate not was I taking it personal, just informing that you don't need to add that extra paragraph. If you feel someone is trolling you then retort them

Verizon is CDMA, T-Mobile is GSM. Different radio hardware required.
There are both GSM and CDMA radios in the galaxy s4. That is how I'm using it on t mobile now. This has been a topic of discussion since the phone was released and responses have been back and forth as to whether it was possible to use it on a GSM network at all. then it was discovered that it is in fact a world phone.it is simply carrier locked which under normal circumstances would make you right however, mine is unlocked and able to utilize both. Thank you for your response.

Hi all,
Was over the moon to learn that the p20 pro was treble compatible, then when I visited a thread I find tonnes of people all with different devices asking questions in one thread, none of them caring about anyone else, everyone basically coming from a completely different angle, kind of a mess.
Would it make sense to have an issue list Vs each ROM to device?
Getting it to work is one thing but any real FAQ or bug list per device is completely absent.
I actually haven't ever got a treble ROM to boot but feel free to post your device, ROM, base and issues here.
Perhaps with a single location to visit we can isolate the issues per device and work out the kinks.
Treble has so much potential but I think it requires some refining in regards to each device.
Device:
Treble ROM:
Base:
Issues:
Yes it's getting ridiculous. To be fair, a lot of people put almost no effort in understanding what they are even doing, just flash and then spam threads with issues they run at. Almost every thread is so hard to follow because of a lot of questions. The problem also is that people put no effort in looking what they can try themselves to fix their issues. It also seems like a lot of people don't understand how Project Treble works and ask questions at totally wrong places. I do understand it might be difficult but i think getting some guidelines in place will help decently and makes moderating probably better, too.

Well I have a p20 pro. If I could get it to boot (and I have tried) I'd list the bugs here for all to see, I'd also write a guide so it's easier for people to flash.
Other people should make similar threads so like minded owners can contribute.
I'll get round to flashing at some point.
Which is better exynos or snapdragon version?
And is stable root and twrp available for snapdragon version?
Although is fine to ask when not knowing about something, it is better to seek ane read before posting questions, what you are asking has been discused at lenght in this note 10+ forum, do a search, and read the whole threads

im sure you can figure out how to use the search button, if not you probably shouldn't be rooting anyway lol.
but to answer your question quickly exynos is better for development as most developers have that version. there is some stuff available for snaps but not near as much as exynos.
Sorry it's being made hard on you.
Honestly look up the development section of this device. You'll get a better idea which phone will work for you, snapdragon rootable or exynos.
I prefer the snapdragon version, but you might like the all in ones baked for the exynos. That's where I'd look to see what development I'd get with which.
Just hard to believe that this question still comes up. The 1st thing I do before I buy any device is check what development is available for the device im looking at. I done bother looking when getting my carrier device because I know there is never anything..lol

You know instead of snapping back at me with the same old use search button, you could have given me a am actual direct link
You do realize that I am not a noob, that I know what search button is for and that I have used it to no avail and the purpose of creating this post was to find a direct link to or solution to the problem.
I know exynos development is active, but I was interested in snapdragon and that's why I created this post.
Please be nice and respect others. If you at having bad day, I wish, whatever God you believe in help you, but don't make others secondary victims of your frustration

I did and didn't found anything substantial for snapdragons.
My country sells both variants and rooting and development is important to me.
But exynos seems perfect for development even though exynos variant performance is weaker than snapdragons and I prefer snapdragons

That's what I am doing.
Checking for rooting and development before buying the phone.
Like I mentioned I prefer snapdragon varient but I am having hard time finding anything substantial for snapdragons on note 10 + forums.
There is lot of active development for exynos.
That's why I created this thread so that if I am for whatever reasons not able to find rooting solution for snapdragon then maybe someone else may have seen a post and point me in right direction
Chinese variant N9750 can he rooted.
USA models N975U and N975U1 can not be rooted at all yet (no time frame for when either, refer to bounty thread for more details).

well since you asked... in general and in real life lazy people who want to be spoonfed are the source of my frustration and also why i hardly ever bother coming here anymore since that had become rampant. Im not saying you are that guy based on one post but because you were so defensive it makes me wonder.
now....its not so much that exynos development is active...its more that development for even rootable versions of the snapdragon has historically been maybe 10% of what it is for exynos. You would get root and sometimes twrp and a couple of roms but it was very limited unfortunately.
years ago the exynos was a better device but of course as we all know the tables have turned and it's nowhere near the performance of the snapdragon devices. you would think that due to that the development for unlockable snapdragons would have taken off but for whatever reason it hasnt.
its a tough call which way to go but for me personally these days i refuse to pay the same or more money in my country for a subpar exynos version even if it means im locked down on the snapdragon. And most who know me here know I was a huge exynos guy for years and years lol.
the Note 9 was my last exynos samsung and likely will be for awhile until samsung can fix their crappy chip issues lol
here is the twrp thread for the note snapdragon

I asked an honest question after trying to find the answer myself and failing, which you, sir misinterpreted and now your mind is also stereotyping me.
Can you please stop jumping to conclusions.
And find other ways to dispel your frustration and anger. We am not your punching bag.
Yes i accept that questions like this on every device forum are very common and at times can frustrate certain users, but social media platform is not an outlet to blow your steam or troll someone.
I reacted defensively because I felt disrespected.
If you don't want to come here, then don't. No one is forcing your hand to contribute. But if you do decide to type a reply, then maybe write a productive one instead of a sarcastic one.
Thank you for the link.
And thanks for your input on exynos and snapdragon. I feel the same as you. If we are shelling out dollars then we should be getting the best the manufacture has to offer instead of subpar device
But unfortunately with the direction things are going unlocking bootloader, rooting and twrp recoveries are getting harder,let alone custom roms.
This is not exactly "a social media" Site, but, everyone must be respectful, yes, I agree, For the other part, it was apparwnt that you wanted answers that have been already given in already old threads, I began viditing the note10+ forum since it started, even before having the device, which occurred 1 month later, That is why I can tell you thet the advice you are seeking, has existed since months ago, I really can not undersatnd why you could not find it, when I first answered your post, I just told you to search diligently, but, well

Social media is any online community where people can come and share ideas, guides, give advise or contribute to the community.
Even if xda is not labelled as social media website, it by its very essence is one. Thus all members should by respectful of others. If you don't like what someone wrote, then dont reply them back to give fuel to fire.
I don't know why, maybe it's the xda labs app or wrong search keywords or something else.
Anyways I am thankful for those who positively contributed even @force70 for sharing the link.

Respectfully I disagree on a few things..
First a discussion board and social media website are two different things. As a discussion board we discuss a specific subject via threads placed into specific topics. We are not microblogging on all sorts various subjects with the implied goal of creating a virtual network.
Second the direction the thread took at first is what happens when rule #3 is not followed and rule #2.1 is overlooked.
What I am submitting in the rest of this reply is only a couple observations on the thread progression and a few suggestions (with explanations) on how this can be avoided in the future.
Rule #2.1 states "Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street."... It is important that when one reads a post here a bit of indifference has to be given to the wording used by others. Yes we all will use different context when replying, but our replies are also shaped by what someone wrote that we are replying too.
Your original post consisted of 2 questions (related to snapdragon/exynos root and Snapdragon TWRP) and your subsequent post just asked for a thread link. It was only later on (after force70's response) that you included the details over what you were really trying to find (your interest on snapdragon root) and that you have searched but couldn't find anything substantial on it.
If you had been forthcoming with a more clear image of what you were seeking, what you had done and what problems you encountered the outcome of the discussion would have been much different... This is also why rule #3 is an important one for the best results.

Thank for your observation.
I agree with you that my OP wasn't very clear.I'll keep that in mind with my future post(s)
You just stated that tolerance is a two way street. If someone can't tolerate what they believe is a noob question then isn't it better not to reply back with a nonproductive generic comment that neither helps or resolves OP question?
Moreover stating that "lazy people aggravate me and although I am not stating you are the one but your reply makes me wonder the same". Tell me isn't this blowing off your steam and frustration. Also isn't this stereotyping someone you barely know about, let alone judge from a single post?
I have no personal beef with force70. Infact I thanked this member for their provided link. I am not trying to pick up fight. Just stating the obvious... To respect others and to helps others positively.
I didnt wanted to have this thread take such toxic turn. Apologies on my part..

This is by no means toxic.. not even close. So no worries, stuff happens. Important thing here is you got some info you could use.
Though I did say I was only posting my observations and suggestions so you can avoid situations like this in the future.
In no way was my reply an indication of intent to get into a discussion over why someone replied a certain way. With respect I will not be engaging on the subject matter.

I'm not here to get into the Gray Zone when it comes to what is tolerated in a certain forum, so I will keep it short and sweet. Does anybody know if the S-N975W note 10+ Snapdragon can be rooted and point me in the correct direction. I've been searching and attempting for days now and have not succeeded, despite some of the Articles i followed stated that root with this model is possible but Odin fails before completion every time. I finally broke down and decided to ask a question as I'm hoping somebody can you give me an answer or share a link 2 the steps of rooting my phone before I use it to kill myself? I have rooted many devices but cannot seem to get this bootloader unlocked despite following instructions that tell me it is possible and I used the correct and suggested firmware and bootloader files and odin versions and all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Now.... As for the person asking about the Samsung exynos or snapdragon I would recommend Samsung exynos if you are looking for a phone that is easily modified and best for development. If you are into gaming or filming I would suggest the Snapdragon but you are limiting yourself if you cannot unlock the phone..... in that case you would be in my situation LOL.

Only snapdragon model I know of that can be rooted is the N9750 (Chinese variant).
If you can't find a root tutorial or Rom development here on XDA (whether using the search function of the forum or just by looking through the pages) for the N975W it means no root is possible at this time.. If it was possible then something would have been posted here on XDA for sure.
I used the search function on the forum and searched the Note 10+ individual topics using different keywords and just the model number N975W.
I found zero root tutorials or custom roms for the N975W.
also when there will be some custom roms/twrp avaible for this device?

Let the phone spread a bit, it is brand new
If you want to mod as soon as you buy, you need to buy a phone that has been out on the market for a few months already
This said, i have this phone for a week now, and i love it....but i'm really afraid that it wont be selling a lot, crushed by his 5G brother and redmi note 10 pro and others. Thus we won't have a lot of community, and therefore modding
What does everybody think about it?
I think its gonna sell a lot bcs thickness and weight,
