I am ready to buy a t-mobile note 3 on swappa like right now but i need some questions answered....
ive been using the note 2 for a long time with a custom rom so i want to be able to put a custom rom on the note 3 and use it with AT&T
from what ive heard the AT&T one is locked and cant install twrp or cwm but that the tmobile one is okay,
so can i get ANY t-mobile note 3 and be okay? or do i have to make sure it doesnt have a locked bootloader. and it will indeed work with at&t when i change the APN right?
Thanks for a quick reply

Hi Guys, I'm considering purchasing a Note 3 that's currently on ATT and having it unlocked to work on T-Mobile. Once I unlock it, when I am looking to have it rooted, do I follow the steps for T-Mobile root, or for ATT root? Also, when flashing roms, would I use a T-mobile or ATT kernel?
I have a lot of experience rooting devices, but have never tried rooting an unlocked device from a different carrier. Thanks for your help.

Follow the steps for the N900A (ATT variant). By following the directions for another device you're asking for a brick.
Rooting a locked or unlocked device is no different. The only difference may be differences in the EFS/NV items after a unlock which are completely separate from the system.

You'll need to use everything from the AT&T section.

Same here. Just bought an unlocked ATT Note 3 to use on T-Mobile.
To confirm, follow all the steps for ATT only yes?
Anyone have step by step instructions? Best ROM's to use for this scenario (Att Note 3 on TM), kernel links etc...
Thanks.

If you want your Tmobile phone to work on the AT&T network then here are the prerequisites:
1: Your phone needs to be carrier unlocked
2: You must have an AT&T activated sim card
3: You have to change the APN settings in your phone
4: You need to odin flash the proper AT&T modem.bin for your phone.
Rooting is not a requirement for switching from tmobile to at&t networks.
Good luck!
I currently have a t-mobile note 3 stock rooted with two installed.
My question is, can I take a Verizon pre paid Sim and put it in the t-mobile note 3? I've tried flashing custom roms with different modems. Doesn't work. I tried region unlock, no go. What else can I do?
Is there even a way to do it? Oh yea, it's my sisters phone. It was Givin to me cause she got the note 5. T-Mobile will not give her the unlock code either. I've scoured the web. Nothing on the matter except Verizon note 3 with a t-mobile sim...
Any ideas? Thanx guys
Unlock my mobile.Com or unlock my blackberry Com should work. You'll pay for it, but get the code within minutes.
Hey guys, just had a question. I have a SM-N920A phone. Will it brick my phone if i flash it through ODIN with "N920TUVS5ERC1" thats meant for the SM-N920T Tmobile Note 5. I hate the AT&T bloatware and would like to have the Tmobile Version of the Note 5. Just not sure if the Tmobile Firmware will brick my AT&T phone. Will it work ?
Thanks guys

It will not work. Locked bootloader for AT&T signed software. Maybe it will flash but virtually no chance it will boot. Even if it did boot, there most likely won't be any cell service.
Oh ok, i see. Yeah you problaly need the same basebands or something for the firmware to work. Well, thanks i appreciate it
If you did get it to boot, using an unlocked modem firmware would be the trick to getting cell service again.
Please, please, don't flame me if I bumped this as it's been inactive for a while... but I wanted to know if there was any progress with this?
I also have a Note 5 N920A that I'd basically like to make into a N920T. I understand that the bootloader is unlocked, but where keys exist, is there not a way to unlock it? I've been out of the development community for quite a while and will catch up a little but I hope someone would have time enough to explain a little.
I unlocked this phone and use it on T-mobile but it doesn't get service where the almost identical T-mobile version of the phone does...
What if I left the bootloader alone and just wanted to take full advantage of T-Mobile's LTE bands? Can I just flash an unlocked modem from _____?
What're the workaround options for this?
Please and thanks in advance
I've been searching for the answer to the same, if not similar, question. I'm trying to find a way or work-around to get T-mobile wifi calling to work.
Can someone please help - FLASH UNLOCKED NOTE 10+ TO AT&T (TO GET WIFI CALLING)....
first I have read and read and read.....and I still am unsure if flashing to a carrier firmware (ATT) on my unlocked Note 10+ gives me WIFI calling.....yes or no?? I flashed to ATT firmware and the icon is there, but i keep getting the "OOOPS" message, saying that it cant be activated. I called ATT and was told even though I have ATT firmware, they still cant get WIFI calling to work..
any ideas? what is the latest...is it possible to get WIFI calling on a flashed unlocked Note 10+?
thanks
Yes, can , but need change csc to att, Currently changing the csc for note 10 is currently unavailable, the only way is to use it to change it
Hell I'll trade you my AT&T version for an unlocked one. I have the 256gb 12gb ram note 10+ in black. I want to root because every single phone I've ever had (except this one) has been rooted and I miss that ****
