GSM ROM on CDMA Nexus?

[brian.kuo1]

Hey guys,

I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and was wondering if anything will happen other than my cell radios breaking if I install a GSM ROM. You know, crashing and burning instead of running or something.

Thanks!

There are other hardware differences besides JUST the radios. It probably won't even install, and if it does, it certainly won't run.
There are plenty of awesome roms designed FOR the CDMA model, was there something that you were looking for specifically that's only on GSM models for now? I'm sure whatever it is, a dev over at XDA is probably already working on it

Unless it's physically broken, the rom and radios won't affect the ability to recover via ODIN. Very, very difficult to "brick" a Nexus. Like the Epic 4g slider, to truely brick it, you need an actual brick to hit it with.
