My wife and I have unlocked (Sim not Bootloader) ATT Branded Note 4 and S5, can we move over to T-Mobile and successfully receive OS updates through T-Mobile. Are there any other issues that I need to be concerned about?
Thanks

Can this be done? I currently have Verizon, and a Verizon Note 3. Unfortunately, we can't get aosp because of the locked bootloader, which so far hasn't been unlocked, that's if it will ever get unlocked. So I was considering trading my Verizon Note 3 for a T-Mobile note 3 if it will work on Verizon's network. Sorry if this had already been answered.
Thank you
No tmobile note 3 is GSM where Verizon uses CDMA cellular technology. Two different frequencies.
I understand that, I just thought since they use a SIM card it make work lol
In a word, no.
[Q] Is there a way i can use my sprint note 4 on T-mobile or AT&T and atleast get 3G?
Hi, I have sprint and a sprint note 4. I wanted to know if i switch to AT&T or T-Mobile Will my note 4 work? it has a sim slot and is unlocked. Any input is appreciated.

No, unfortunately the GN4 is not unlockable in the U. S. It can be unlocked for international use but not in the US. Your stuck with sprint.
Not possible
No, sorry. Sprint phone's are CDMA locked, so, they can only be used on CDMA networks. This includes the Note 4. Hope I helped. :good:
Sorry, the Sprint Note 4 unlocked can run LTE on the TMobile network? Apparently it can be rooted and flash custom roms right? Sorry for obvious questions but Im ready to buy one and need to be sure.
Thanks!!
It can be unlocked, but will only work with 4G, not LTE, check the Note 4 questions tab on the sprint section, there was already a thread started a while back ago. T-Mobile will tell you it won't work though, but there are ways around it.

I was under the impression that you'd actually have to change the modem firmware in order to get a domestic GSM unlock on a Sprint device, if the S5 was any indication. That's where it seems to be locked out.
Since the Note 4 was launched prior to Feb 15, 2015, it's very unlikely Sprint will ever bother with permitting any sort of domestic SIM unlock for it (international is another matter entirely), and that's before we get into the missing LTE bands for full T-Mobile compatibility.
That said, if someone does pull off a working DOMESTIC unlock (T-Mobile, AT&T, MVNOs thereof, etc.), I'd sure like to know about it!
How do you unlock it though?
I know this thread has probably fizzled out or not, but THERE IS a domestic unlock for Sprint Note 4 and all others. It is NOT FREE. However, if one would search and read you will find it. Full data and SMS works perfectly. I have 3 Sprint Note 4's on T-Mobile US.
Brother is getting a new phone and I'd like to buy his AT&T Note 4. However, I'm on T-Mobile. I unlocked the AT&T Note 2 via radio flashing to work on T-Mobile and it seems that LTE works. So what about the AT&T Note 4?
Yes, as long as it's unlocked, I bought mine off of craigslist already unlocked. I'm using mine on metro pcs network and have lte service. I wish I would have researched and got an Tmobile note 4 seeming they have root available.

I've never gotten an answer, even though I asked it a month of Sundays ago. But my question was if I took my AT&T 4 over to TMO, could I use WiFi calling through. 3rd party app like GrooveIP? I heard that WiFi calling wasn't an option if you take your unlocked phone over to them, though it was never confirmed.
My Note 4 was purchased outright, so I can get it unlocked with no problems.
I know they are two diffrent networks with CDMA & GSM. Some phones now cover both. I've read the note 4 was working like this. I'm curious of a couple things.
1. Is it really possible? To go from at&t to verizon with a note wdge.
2. If so, could you flash a verizon rom onto the at&t note edge to have all the verizon stuff?
Well I haven't been looking into this
But from first-hand experience, if you do
Only talk and text messages will work
Anything data-based will not work as the AT&T Note Edge does not have the correct radios to actually get data
You need the CDMA radios to actually use data
and secondly, the AT&T Note Edge (Same with the Note 4) has been bootloader locked since the release of the phone
Meaning the AT&T Note Edge cannot be modified system-wise
We are still trying to get stable temp-root
Not a good sight
And the Verizon Note 4 (Edge as well) have been bootloader unlocked since April of last year
Meaning customization level is higher than the AT&T variant
Now thing is, the Verizon variant is bootloader locked by default
and you need to have a good amount of knowledge of ADB to actually unlock it
and a lot of patience
but the community is there to help you out with any of your questions
As long as the phone has the Samsung eMMC
So why bother with the AT&T variant and just go get the Verizon variant
Bootloader unlocked, and correct radios
Seems like a plus to me
and the Verizon variant has GSM radios so it can work with AT&T and T-Mobile, and yes
It is unlocked by default so you don't need to contact Verizon to unlock the phone

All you need is to first of all
Find the APN settings for your specific carrier
After you do, place the SIM card in and then go to the settings, Mobile Networks, APN settings, and then set it up how it is intended to be
