Hi everyone,
Is there a way to flash the AT&T or any other Stock ROM to a T-mobile phone ?.
I'v tried ODIN (version 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10) .and I can´t manage to get it flashed.
Tried by TWRP too, and it says thet the zip isnt good.
Thanks in advance.
Not directly, no.

You mean inderictly is it posible? (dont know how is inderectly ).
Yes, but it requires a seasoned developer to make the modifications necessary. I'm not sure why you'd want to do this though as the AT&T version is far more bloated.

Thanks for your reply.
I absolutely have no that kind of skill.
Anyway, the real reason I came up with that idea is because I cant unlock my T-mobile phone, and I live outside the US.
I've heard and read that sim unlocks by code are having problems.
Unfortunately, flashing firmware will not aid you in unlocking. Have you already tried buying a code for your device?

He said flashing a rom not firmware. Someone over in the s6 forums flashed a metro pcs rom and was able to unlock the tmobile s6.

ROM = Firmware. They're interchangeable terms. Also MetroPCS is owned by T-Mobile, so I don't see your point. Flashing software does not unlock the SIM card slot.

There is no MetroPCS firmware for the S6 Edge as they do not sell it.
my bad this works only on s6...didn't realize you had an Edge
Im living outside of usa .
I have flashed my t mobile s6 using metropcs and unlocked my s6 using a code purchased online.
I reflashed my t mobile software and its still unlocked.
Can i update to stock 5.1.1 using odin and have the device still unlocked .
Once phone unlock is done using a code is it a permanent unlock ?

Your phone was unlocked by code. It is permanent. It is not rom dependant. Just like you flashed a different rom than the metro pcs when you originally unlocked your phone, you can upgrade too.
Flash unbranded rom
I have an unlocked G920T (came locked from amazon, but unlocked easily via device unlock app preloaded)
Is there an unbranded firmware I can flash, even if its from a different variant?
Im also interested to know if i can flash a at&t firmware on my tmobile s6. Not for unlock but because the person i gave it to wants to use the ohone on at&t and feel like its an at&t phone. Whatever right? But can i do that? Or would it have to be a custom rom? Orignal firmware would be nice.
If you have S6 from Tmobile unlocked with metropcs , can you please post a screenshot of "abour device" ?

Baseband with the Metro ROM is G920T1UVU1AOCH, but the problem is, I flashed both of the S6's I have here to the Metro ROM to unlock them so I have no idea what the original baseband was lol I hope you do!
Any luck on the S6 Edge unlock? I scour the internet everyday for developments but I havent seen anything I feel like this S6 Edge I have is either going to sit here forever or Ill have to sell it as a blacklisted phone because its financed and I KNOW its going to get blocked.

the fact that baseband has a G920T1 means that it did changed the radio , while every damn firmware i tried never change the baseband ., is good to know though ... and if you have an S6 Edge try this before selling it .. ask to borrow someone's tmobile sim card and try to at least do a temporary unlock if that doesn't work then download the app VyprVPN select germany (i did) with the tmobile sim still in and try temporary unlock again,,, doing this at least it bought a month's use of my phone , maybe a solution will come up later on.

So youre saying that when you flash the Metro ROM to it, its not changing your baseband? I used the one posted by UnlockBase. Were you able to successfully unlock yours?
And yeah, Ive tried the TEMP and PERM unlock on the S6 Edge. I put my TMobile dealer SIM in it hoping that would help as its a free $80 monthly demo line I get for selling TMobile service. I would gladly try that method, but since we sell these phones, a TEMP unlock wont help me I need a permanent solution so once I sell it, Ill know the customer wont have any issues down the road. I have both of the S6's up for sale now that they are unlocked, but I have always wondered if Samsung REGION LOCKS these phones. Ive tested my personal ATT line in it, and it works great, but alot of my customers on eBay export these phones overseas, so Im hoping these new Samsungs arent region locked :/

when you try to flash any firmware with odin it ends on FAIL.. you can flash rom with twrp but baseband remains the same ,, so i dont know if the unlock app from tmobile is tied in the bootloader or radio or something else ... so far i'll just enjoy the 30days left and see what happens after that ... cause after it accepted my att sim card a message will appear reminding me the unlock was to end on Jul01 and if i wanna to do permanent unlock, so i flash a firmware from a canada version G925W so the reminder went away but i dont know if that means that in 30 days i'll be locked again

I gotcha. I did something similar. I flashed the international ROM on the S6 EDGE via TWRP and it told me the code is incorrect. I know the code is correct because if I ever it in with no SIM and the #7465625*638*# and put the code in it says successfull. This is SOOOOOO frustrating. The lock has to do with the radio or the bootloader/baseband.

I am interested to see if that works which it may as the app is not there to retrigger the lock. You never know.
I currently have metro pcs and I bout an unlocked Samsung galaxy s6. My original Sim is too big so I have to go to metro to get a new one but the phone is not reading the new sim in order for them to program it. How do I fix this or get around this? Should I not let metro try to activate the phone?
My playstore not working said. " cant initialize...."
I know the cause of this is the freedom. I used freedom when im in kitkat official. Im also rooted that time. Then i forgot to delete the "host" file before updating. Now my "at&t galaxy s4 is 5.0
1 official" can someone help me root this device pls. To fix this problem ? Or any fix/method to this problem without root ?
I also dont know what is lock and unlock bootloader, even how to check if i have lock or unlock bootloader. What does it mean if i have lock and unlock bootloader
Note: my galaxy s4 is at&t 5.0.1 not rooted.
My galaxy s4 at&t can read any sim card because its already factory unlocked.
Hello. So, I was using an unlocked Tmobile S6 Edge Plus on AT&T. I was psyched to give the S8 Ported ROM a try, but since flashing the device is now network locked. Rom is awesome, but now cant use as a phone. Is this normal? Any help is appreciated. Also, I figured I could just restore from original backup, but now still network locked.
BOOTLOOP --> unlocked edge plus (G928F) firmware on a at&t edge plus (G928A) ?
hey guys,
My brothers unrooted at&t s6 edge+ (SM-G928A) entered an infinite bootloop on at&t's crappy software. We live in europe, so we can't get a replacement or get it fixed, even thought it's still eligible for warranty.
It started bootlooping again today after doing a factory data reset and manually installing last month's security updates
I read somewhere it's impossible to install the G928F's stock firmware or any other rom made for the unlocked s6 edge+ on the at&t edge plus.
Is this true?
If so, why? The hardware should be exactly the same (except maybe for some bands missing), right?
In the past I have flashed stock firmware on various samsung phones bloated by carriers, so I don't get why it wouldn't be possible now.
Thanks in advance!!
PS: I'm quite experienced when it comes to rooting, flashing and modding. So by installing a new rom I mean through a custom recovery. I understand it's not possible to install G928F firmware on a G928A via odin, as the model numbers aren't matching.
bump?
