nope

JeffreyCoffman45 pretty much nailed it. You can't do that without root, and even if you had root, you probably wouldn't want to do that anyways. What you can do is unlock your phone and it should work in India with a different sim from a local network.

He won't get OTA updates unless he's using an ATT sim though.

No OTA but he should still be able to get updates via Samsung KIES software for Desktop or Mac.

Get N7105 back to stock...

I'm trying to help a friend with his N7105 and I am lost.
He has been rooted running custom roms for a long time so that he could get group messaging. Now that the Hangouts app is available for download I'm trying to get him back to stock unrooted and he can do his own thing from here out. In doing so I realized that 4.3 was released for his model. I have looked for FW files on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the right file, but don't see anything for the US or AT&T. But, there are sites all over saying it was released in a roll-out back in December like Android Police.
I've read from the forums on sammobile that you can flash another countries firmware package, but then you'll only get OTAs from that country. Also, if the package you use is carrier specific you'll have to unlock to phone again. Is there no AT&T US package available? If not, what are my best options?
Any help?
Don't know if this helps or not

Will that work on a N7105? Looks promising, just not sure.

The US ATT version of the Note II is the SGH-I317, does your friend have an ATT branded phone or an imported N7105?. Sawdoctor's link will work if it is an I317. Flashing a rom from a different country won't SIM lock the phone, but will install the default apps from whatever phone company's build is used. I have an N7105, live in Belgium but use the German TMobile build on my phone, I had no issues going from CM11 back to 4.3 (I actually did this on Tuesday).

That's the hard part. The phone is branded as AT&T and the sticker under the battery says SGH-I317 but if you boot it into bootloader it says it's a N7105. He bought the phone used from a local classifieds site to use with AT&T, he broke his screen after a few months and sent it into Samsung to repair it. I'm not sure if he was returned the same phone he sent if or if they just sent out a phone a different phone. Not sure if it's a N7105 that was imported (or in this case, refurbed and sent to him).

Update Notes 5 AT & T Unlocked , outside the US

Hello everyone. I hope some of you can really help me . I bought this model phone UNLOCKED and it works great with any SIM . The problem is updates. Not being in the US territory do not get it OTA updates via Smart Switch ( really strange thing ) . BUILD are still the old , the first relase . Sorry for the English difficult to understand . I really hope someone can help me . Is there a way to install it manually by Odin ?. Also it can be made ​​available for downlaod the latest update ?. Thank you in advance.
try downloading samsung kies in your computer, i believe you can update there manually even you're outside of the united states, only IF at&t pushes an official update, this device is different from international galaxy note 5 which is always getting the update first before this AT&T version,
but correct me if im wrong. the latest update version of at&t is 5.1.1 Baseband N920AUCU2AOI6

Hello , sorry to say just now . However it is the latest version that you wrote but I'm still the first. Smart Switch does not detect any updates to this day ; I do not know if you can flash via Odin but this relase is not yet available for downlaod .
I got an Note 5 64 gb AT&T, I live in Mexico City and I had the same issue, I solved it activating the SIM included via Internet, I putted into the phone and voila! I was be able to do the update via WiFi. Hope that helped you!

Hello , thanks for the reply . I think you 've succeeded because you're in the US territory ; Europe could never engage the AT & T server .
Have you tried? I was in Mexico when did that, through Telcel roaming, not AT&T I found a tutorial to activate the SIM through AT&T portal, you should try it, maybe it'll work

convert n910v to international variant

hi
I recently got a verizon note 4 (n910v) and I want to know if i can convert it to an international variant such as n910F if possible. does the recent bootloader unlock make this possible?
thanks all
I don't think so but you can run N910F roms on N910V but there is only one problem is about data service will not available I personally tested some 5.1.1 based roms and worked great !
But I hope that we can do something like that
To run the F Roms, all ya gotta do is flash the data fix listed in most of the OPs. Can even do MM Roms as well
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah i know about the data fix but i was hoping to run official samsung n910f firmware. Im not in US and i dont like the verizon branding. I guess rooting is the only way.

Even if you could just convert it, as you say, you'd need to root and then unlock the bootloader. There's different hardware, so that's why the data fix is needed.
i also need n910f rom for n910v

Wich firmware is compatible to odin on verizon

Trying to enjoy the note 7 at full extent and i ve flashed AT&T it seems to be more responsive ..

You can flash tmo as well.

I'm pretty sure you can flash any firmware as long as it's from a snapdragon device. I mean, I have the Verizon note 7 and flashed the sprint ROM to get root. With a few tweaks everything is fine.
Waw i will try sprint as soon i get home thanks for letting me know

If you flash another carriers firmware does it come with said carriers bloat? Like at&t does it come with all the at&t apps?

If we flash another carrier's firmware without root, how do we get the apn setting for verizon set up for data?
Canadian firmware?
Has anyone tested the Canadian firmware (N930W8) to see if it works with Verizon? I know its not root, but the Verizon changing the Note 7 makes me want to change to AT&T.

Doesn't the firmware block certain bands (such as ATT firmware blocking Verizon bands) regardless of APN?

That's what I thought but I read posts from others on the forum who said they flashed the firmware from other carriers ( ATT or TMobile or Canadian) onto a Verizon Note 7, , and were able to set the apn so that they had verizon data. I'd like to know how they did it.

Me too. I have until Friday to switch to another carrier. I heard of they release the unlocked firmware, n930u, then we could flash it and be good to go.

Question CAN F936U FLASH F936U1 Firmware?

hello,I want to F936U flash F936u1 Firmware,how can I do?
I'm absolutely sure that you can do that.
I have tried it yesterday and successfully changed the model.
But, you can't flash it via ordinary Odin. You have use a patched Odin which can be found in XDA and flash the u1 firmware in it.
1992595365 said:
我绝对确定你可以做到这一点。
我昨天试了一下,成功换了型号。
但是,你不能通过普通的 Odin 来刷机。您使用了一个可以在 XDA 中找到的修补过的 Odin,并在其中刷新 u1 固件。

Ok I just flashed from U1 to a W ROM, specifically F936U1UES1AVJ1 (Android 12, XAA) to F936WVLU1BVK3 (13, XAC), and it all seems like it works fine. I'll update if I run into anything in the next few days.
Just a note that although it doesn't matter, it was originally a SM-F936U (updated to U1 then W)

Hey shorty I bought it used with U firmware and just to be safe to make sure it's stock and the fact U (and W) versions didn't get much updates, I flashed with the U1. Android 13 was released first for unbranded Canada XAC and since I'm actually using on Canadian networks, might as well. So far ok. No issues to report.

Hey I'm not too sure if you mean this, but yes mine is factory unlocked (actually a dev/demo device). And yes on Canadian network. You can always flash with the newest ATT ROM if yours is from ATT but hasn't gotten updates. Just make sure it indeed is the right model.

I did not keep user data so not sure if you can or should. But I think if you're switching model/CSC, the general consensus is to do a clean flash. If you just want to enable Canadian bands that are disabled on a US device, you can search up a way to do so I think using engineering mode.

Okie dokie sounds good I'm just looking into it and noticed all varients have a similar codes and my pituitary one has the firmware matching the MetroPCS firmware but the only firmware that I have found for at&t comes up as the smf936u1 at least on sammobile I suppose I'll have to check other firmware sites thanks for the reply hope you are having a wonderful day

If you're on any of the U or U1 firmware, I think you can safely flash to any other U/U1 without any issues. I usually cross reference with samfw and Frija too. Have a wonderful day too friend.
Would this enable Sim for phones without it? The SM-F9360 does not have esim support, could be software, I hope.
Can i go from U to W and then root? Or not possible?
Can I go from ATT and flash TMO variant if the model number is the same? SM-F936U? The phone is unlocked FYI. [email protected]
