Hi all you probably already know about the locked bootloader im sure. Was hoping if anyone had any information on how trades work with at&t. I see there is the n910c which has the unlocked bootloader. Does anyone know any ways to trade in my att note 4 for a refurbisheed n910c? I don't think is n910c is sold by att but I see it is GSM. Sorry if this similar to someone elses question or contains any bad information.

I've searched around for a definitive answer on this, but haven't found one.
I see a lot of N900T's advertised as unlocked with a bad IMEI. Does this mean that since it's unlocked I can use the phone with AT&T in the USA, just not with TMo? Does it depend on the specific N900T at hand or is there a uniform rule?
Thankful for any and all help.
Yes, you can use it on AT&T without issue. I am doing this for a few months. But, there is a chance AT&T and T-Mobile will someday share blacklists and it could be blocked by both networks.

What this means is the imei is block by tmobile. It will not connect to its network.
Now att and tmobile have started to share networks. So its possible that it will be block by att also.
Over sea carries dont share the same list. (at lest not for now.) so there good to go,
Also note that there is no way to remove the device from the blacklist. Also just because its fine right now on att it doesnt mean it wont get updated down the road.
Then you will be left with a phone that you cant use.
I stop buying phones online because its harder to trust people and when something goes wrong you get the bad part of it.
I know for a fact they have been sharing the same list for atleast a year or so if im correct. You might be able to use it,but chances are it wont work. sorry to burst your bubble. just sell it on ebay and you might be able to get more money off it! good luck
I'd like to find a bootloader unlocked Note 4 while traveling in Korea over the next few weeks. They obviously won't have much VZW selection, but I was hoping someone here might know the model number for a similar CDMA+GSM unlocked phone that I could try.
As the title implies, I've tried my own research and came up with nothing on the matter. The Verizon model does not work with a Sprint SIM though it is claimed to be unlocked off the manufacturer so I'm leaning towards compatibility being the problem, is there any way to solve this? Maybe something can be done if the phone is rooted and using TWRP? Thanks for any help.

Nope and there won't be at least through legal means because Sprint won't attach Verizon's IMEI of the device to their SIM in order for it to accept and use Sprint network, unless if it's an apple product... (lol really). Funny how devices come unlocked or can be unlocked upon request due to law but loophole comes to play now SIM's can be locked to a devices IMEI rendering anything you try the SIM on useless other than it's original device. So much for having an unlocked device...
Just wondering -- have y'all tried any of the solutions mentioned in these threads:

(I know both of these are for putting a sprint phone on verizon, but maybe the NV/RUIM trick works in the other direction as well?)
Hi all,
I recently purchased a galaxy s9, model SM-G9600. I have never flashed a phone before so I'm quite new to this all. The problem with this phone is that it has no wifi-calling option in the settings. I currently have my t-mobile sim card in it. I've tried looking all over for an outside solution to this or if it is possible to just flash the proper t-mobile firmware to be able to get the wifi-calling option in the phone. I cannot seem to find a concrete answer/directions as to how to solve this. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a concrete answer and/or point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance!
Hiya bud. Well the answer I'm gonna give is one you probably won't enjoy much, but no one else responded sadly.
I'm pretty sure that the wifi calling option will only work if you're on the correct calling network (I believe only tmobile branded for that software ).
I could be wrong though and the calling may work for other carriera, but I just thought I'd warm though ahead of time on your quest for the holy grail in case anyways.. If things work out better for you, then definitely let us know!
Cheers bud!!
Did you get it to work?

I have the same model and am on the t-mobile network. Did you flash your phone with the t-mobile firmware?? If so, did it work??
Thanks!
Been using Moto X (2013) for 6 years, finally decided to upgrade. As a fan of smaller phones instantly fell in love with this on amazon. Does anyone know if I can unlock it to work with a local carrier (in Azerbaijan)? Looking at question and answers on Amazon got me really confused.
Edit: Also, how much would it cost to unlock it?
Edit2: After "researching" what unlocked means (haven't used carrier plan phones ever), seems like it can get locked after an update. Does anyone have experience with the phone I linked? Also, I found this which says "T-Mobile GSM Unlocked". Wth does that mean? Is it usable worldwide/any carrier, or only with T-Mobile, or is unlocked by T-Mobile officially and is somehow more reliable or something? Sorry but I'm completely uneducated in this matter. Hope I'll get some help before it runs out of stock.
Thanks!
