I bought a note 4 on AT&T from eBay I was stupid and didn't read the advert properly my fault. Am wondering would I be able to flash my note 4 to UK unlocked rom at all? So basically it would work exactly the same as a note 4 bought hands free in uk. I have read there is difficulties in flashing international versions to work on AT&T due to network frequency but not much detail going the other way around
You can't flash anything on the AT&T version. It doesn't even have root at the moment and the bootloader is locked so you'll probably want to sell it.

If it's network unlocked it will work in the UK with your sim. Don't know if lte will work.
Yeah lte works and currently on ee phone works fine but just wondering if am able to flash it and install custom rom or original Samsung rom
I gurantee the AT&T Note 4 will NEVER see its bootloader unlocked. At this point in the game, it probably won't even see root.
I've read somewhere the android L will make it difficult for att to look bootloader and also android L will allow Uninstalling bloating software.

I don't know if my method works all the time and if it's safe, but with GalaxSim Unlock, an app made for SG S3 (S3 has a very similar hardware it seems), my Note 2 N7100 is unlocked....
Maybe contact the author of the app on the market.
My carrier branded one was unlocked already. Worth a try.

Unlocking NOTE 2 GT-N7105 -APN issue-

Here is the thing.
I had N7105 unlocked by a box(no other unlock suchs has APK unlock was able due to a diferent knowe arquitecture, i have been told) (not even GalaxSym ..--emailed the programmer--..)
The problm is that 4G doesnt work in other operator than the one that came with the card (they both support 4G and are 4G sim card)
The phone came with TMN operator, i am OPTIMUS(aka orange) user....in TMN instantly 4G boots up...change to OPTIMUS sim...NOTHING...3G or 4G.....have to go to APN, choose one and activate manually(if i dont activate it wont work), then....set APN to standard setings(if not it wont work)......all those steps just to get the 3G working......reboot phone and all those steps all over again to get AGAIN 3G.....4G forget....
And the TMN APN is editable if i choose to....OPTIMUS no...greyish settings uneditable....
The phone is stock rom rooted.
Any help?
(the phone is in Portuguese...) I described the steps has more similar has i could.
Tried using GalaxSim just recently myself. Says, "Unable to read NV data" and all of the details are undefined. Using an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-i317).
I flashed the fully stock rooted ROM posted by MrRobinson (doesn't trip the flash counter or interfere with OTA, just adds root). Checked and confirmed I'm rooted (TI Backup and GalaxSim both report root). Also installed BusyBox from the market, just to see if somehow that wasn't quite right. Nothing seems to have helped.
Would love to use GalaxSim rather than one of the services like SIM-unlocker.net. Anybody have any ideas?
Unfortunately, it won't work with your model which has a Qualcomm chip for its radio part. I7100 is supported as its full exynos
Check n7105 development section.

Yes it has to be unlocked. Once you have the device paid off you will have to wait 40 days for an unlock. You can't just go buy the phone and go straight to AT&T with it.
dang, i already prepaided 1 yr in advanced from straight talk on att's network.
i dont want their phone from what i hear they have locked the bootloader.
Yeah unfortunately preventing your plan is why they have these 40 day windows in place. I'm sure you can understand - they aren't pure retail and there are operational expenses involved with getting that phone to you that the N3 margins alone can't sustain.

negrielectronics is advertising an unlocked Tmobile Note 3:
http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-32gb-lte-t-mobile-unlocked-black.html
Here is their statement on the unlocked status:
http://negricare.negrielectronics.c...056725-question-about-a-galaxy-note-3-tmobile
It doesn't have Tmobile warranty coverage and some ppl say it doesn't have samsung warranty either. So you might consider getting their warranty package if you get one of their phones. Might be cheaper in the end since you won't pay tax and you have to pay for an unlock service. Never used them myself but others have posted on their good standing.

I highly recommend you don't try and root the phone, it could significantly alter your phone in a negative ways (some irreversible) even if you unroot your phone. Note 3 is a phone that highly relies on its original Samsung software. I have it, so I know. And especially when you're downloading unknown software onto your computer to root or alter your phone, you're putting your computer at risk of being compromised with malware and viruses. And a lot of these people who root phones for a fee often won't tell you the dangers your phone will potentially face after its rooted. DON'T WASTE $800.00 ON A GUESS.

Hello guys,
I am actually just starting to post here. So sorry in advance for anything wrong I do. I recently bought a Samsung Note 3. It is a phone locked to T-mobile. What I want to do is turn the phone's software into factory software (what I mean with that is the software that comes with factory unlocked phones). I really want it to be no different from an originally unlocked phone because I will use it abroad as well and I don't want all the software that comes with T-mobile. Is this possible? If yes, will it be any different from a factor unlocked phone?
This phone is the same as an unlocked note 3 except it has some extra tmobile apps.

Hey guys, since T-Mobile has unlocked bootloader, are you guys able to flash other carriers roms like at&t?
I'm only asking because im on an AT&T model, but eventually want to flash T-Mobile roms once our bootloader is unlocked for wifi calling.

It would require some tweaking, but in the base idea, yes, they're all the same (with different radios and likely different kernels). You'll want to just wait a little bit and have devs port to the other models. However, your goal of getting wifi calling likely won't work. Maybe I've been out of the loop, but last I checked the app registers your phone number with the T-Mobile network so it knows where to forward calls/texts to. So it more than likely won't work for AT&T/Verizon. I believe Sprint has it now, but same method.

hi sorry, i left out a big important detail. I'm on t-mobile lol. so it would work for me. This is my first lg phone, and i've been on many other phones where we can easily cross flash carriers without the need of porting the roms. I was under the impression that the at&t model was slightly different? i should revisit that again just to be sure.
I was hoping if there was any hard evidence or experience that someone did flash an at&t rom without any hiccups. That'll mean we can do it vice versa.
Thanks for the info.
On other phones this has been possible, I would wait for a definite answer, or make sure you have a backup ready just in case you do try it...
I am on Verizon and I was also wondering if I can flash a T-mobile rom without the risk of an hard brick. I can take the risk of a SW brick.
Why would you want to do this
I'd be careful, there are probably significant differences, you can't use a vz phone on tmo network.

I'm pretty certain that all Vzw phones come unlocked and can be used on t-mobile. Might not get all the bands to work correctly, but will still work.
Vz runs a cdma network for voice and data, t-mobile runs gsm. Some phones can do both, eg Verizon's world phones, but by no means all of them. YMMV

If it is 4g it should be a "world" phone.
Here's the details: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6991
While the G3 isn't listed, the G2 is so I would assume it will work.
I have flashed a Verizon rom on my T-Mobile phone and almost everything worked fine. You'll need to adjust the apn and delete Bluetooth apn as it fc. The OP stated that he will most likely make a patch to fix the problems

Does anyone know when the unlocked variant of Note 7 N930U will be available? I am just not buying a carrier branded one because of a lot of reasons...
I'm keeping close watch on this as well as I want to get the rom from it and install it on my TMO purchased Note 7. It's a good way to debloat and to get updates outside of when TMO says yes or no to them. I can't wait.
What reasons? If it's because of root, AT&T and Sprint variants have root.

I've had root on Android phones since the G1 but since the August patch to 6.0.1 it's just become to much of a pain in the ass to keep root and to have Android Pay. So the unlocked version of the rom doesn't come with a majority of Samsungs bloat ... it asks if you want to install the various apps during the first boot and you can say no. It doesn't come with the carrier bloat. These are the reasons. The only reason I've kept root on my Nexus 6P as long as I had was for greenify and with the Note 7 they've basically given that ability to the user without root. Folks have a lot of reasons to keep rooting ... I just don't. The OP might feel differently.
If you want the phone now, get the carrier Note 7 and then Odin flash the OS when Note 7 Unlocked is released.
For example, I bought the S7 Edge through AT&T but was able to Odin flash Unlocked software so phone is identical to unlocked version. I even got OTAs from Samsung directly. No root required and you can flash back to AT&T firmware and build if necessary.

Yes, identical phones only difference is build and firmware. On AT&T, you lose VoLTe and HD Calling. On T Mobile, you still get wifi calling and VoLTE.
I Odin flashed my AT&T S7 Edge with no issues. No it is unlocked version.

Wow, I didn't know that. I was planning to sim-unlock TMobile locked Note 7 via some third party online service, but I guess I will now wait for the official ROM for SM-N930U and flash to SM-N930T. Thanks!
Update: Apparently this is not true. Some research helped me to understand that flashing ROM does not sim-unlock your device.
The Big IF being if Samsung releases a US unlocked version like they did with S7 and S7 Edge.
