So i was curious if i could flash my AT&T samsung Galaxy s6+ edge sg-928a with another model such as the T-mobile or sprint network version? Would that be possible ？
Only if you care to turn your expensive phone into an expensive paperweight I would not advise doing.

ok my question is this,
I am trading up an old iPhone 4s for a T-Mobile Galaxy Note II, is it possable to debrand or install AT&T rom on this phone to make it an AT&T phone?
or any kind of work around to get it running on AT&T LTE network
let me know
Thanks
P.S. i do not have the phone in hand yet so i am asking if it is worth the trade

I know the tmobile note 2 is capable of lte but.it's not enabled in the default firmware, and I'm not sure if the frequencies will be the same as tmo hasn't even started rolling out their lte. My guess is it's the same hardware, but I would do as much searching as possible before doing the trade. If it's possible, I'm sure someone here at xda will get it working if it's possible, but it hasn't been out long enough for any definitive info. (At least nothing I've seen)

It should run on the AT&T HSPA+ (3.5G) network with no problems (as long as it's carrier/SIM unlocked) as the phone should have the 850/1900 GSM bands that AT&T uses. I'm not sure about LTE...but I don't think it will work.

Hello,
I recently joined Sprint's network. I am aware that their phones are CDMA-based, unlike T-Mobile's and ATT's, which are GSM-based.
My mother has a Note 3 in good condition that she is getting rid of, and I'd like to keep it; but it's a T-Mobile model, and have been trying to find info. about whether or not the phone can be made to work in Sprint's network after unlocking it.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
No, 2 different types of radios. work with any GSM based carrier like T Mobile AT&T etc but not sprint
should work in 2020 as sprint is now owned by tmobile
Hi guys!
So I have been stuck with my AT&T S5 since it first came out in 2014. Now it's wearing off..... (very slow, crashes a lot). I am a root/flash junkie so the only reason why I want to upgrade to s6 edge now is because it's possible to root! I am planning to upgrade to a S6 edge but using a Tmobile device and unlocking the sims to AT&T carrier (I am using AT&T). I have done my research and the S6 edge for AT&T is too difficult to root/rom customize with 5.1.1 (or not possible at all). With that being said, I am planning to purchase a s6 edge running on 5.1.1 with T-mobile.
Anyone with AT&T service have tried this method and works successfully? Few questions to ask.. how is it any differ from AT&T service? Does it matter? Any changes? Text/call/4G LTE works flawlessly just like a normal AT&T phone?
I'm also planning to unlock the sims by the method that senior member, stifilz, posted in one of the other thread, "Sim Unlock - Intl' and Domestic".
Once it is unlocked, you put an AT&T SIM in and you are good to go. Did it on my T-Mo Nexus 5 and on my wife's T-Mo iPhone 5S.

I have a pretty good deal on an AT&T Galaxy Tab S4 T837, and I was wondering I if get it unlocked, would it work with a T-Mobile smartphone sim? I know it doesn't have a dialer or native texting like the international model, and I know it wouldn't work with an AT&T smartphone sim, but since it would be a different carrier maybe it wouldn't know the difference? I happen to have a smartphone line that I'm not using on T-Mobile, and I don't want to buy a separate tablet plan.
We currently have GS7s
So I had put this there also
But I thought better chance of people here having done this already...
My family has been with sprint for decades.
We have never done a carrier switch.
Family plan.
All phones carrier unlocked.
We have 3 GS7s with sprint firmware.
Two are sprint hardware
One is U hardware
PHOENIX market. Tmobile 5G.
Looking to change all 3 #s to tmobile family plan
Replacing the two sprint GS7s with GS20+
And keeping the GS7 U (sprint firmware)
But changing the GS7 U to tmobile.
Not worried at all about the new GS20s.
Concerned for what to expect of the kept GS7 U (sprint firmware).
Will tmobile flash new tmobile firmware to it?
Will tmobile turn on the proper tmobile radios?
Will the sprint specific bloatware remain and not be uninstallable?
Do I have to do the tmobile firmware/radios myself?
Thanx

Does GS7 "U" mean it's unlocked? If you purchased it unlocked you can put a T-Mobile SIM in and it will work.

i mean im not a gs7 owner for years assuming hes talking about a galaxy s7 which might have issues on tmo if it doesnt have much gsm capability since sprint is of course cdma..
im just gonna stick with sprint and get a sprint s20 ultra 5g seeing as how sprint and tmo are now the same company and sprint users are already able to roam on tmos network and s20 5g owners can already use tmos nationwide 5g as well as they currently have 0 down for new lines and upgrades and sprint is usually the cheaper option (although im on an employee swac acct)
to add tmo wont do anything to the device firmware or anything of the like.. if its unlocked and capable they could probably activate it.. if not then it wont work or u might have some stuff work n other stuff not..
good luck on the switch.. we'll all be under the new tmobile soon enough lol
