Hi all. I am new to all this and the more I read the more confused I become! I bought a T-Mobile T999 with a bad IMEI. I unlocked it and am using it with my Mobilicity SIM card.Everything is working fine except for the wifi hotspot. Also the T-Mobile bloatware is getting in the way. Iwas on my way to rooting the phone when i thought to myself... would it be possible to flash the Mobilicity stock firmware from the SamMobile sight onto the phone. If this doesn't work would I be able to flash the stock TMobile firmware back to the phone? So on the T999 can I flash the Mobilicity T999VVLDMF2_T999VYVLDMF2_MCT firmware from SamMobile
Thanks to any and all who might help.
No to all.

Sorry if this has been asked already but i have a t-mobile s7 that i want to use on verizons network.
I know that the usa s7 will work on both gsm and cdma
My phone is unlocked
My question is if i flash vsw nougat will that be all i need to do to use the verizon network and will i have to manually update
Also is rooting required to flash firmware
Thanks in advance
Nobody as done this?
I have a Sprint Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) which has been unlocked domestically and internationally. I currently use Total Wireless (a Verizon MVNO) and my Verizon SIM card works fine in the unlocked Sprint Galaxy S6, though it displays the ROAMING symbol all the time when it is on the Verizon SIM.
I'd like to flash the SM-G920V firmware (Verizon) on to the S6 phone so that it will be Verizon native. Will this work?
I have done the same thing using ODIN on a Galaxy S7 and it worked flawlessly. I have read that all Galaxy S7s are all the same, just each has firmware than unlocks different radios. Is that also true for the S6?
Thanks in advance!
great quetion i also have sprint s6 and i live in europe and i also wanteed to flash stock g920f firmware but i am afraid of bricking it so idk,

If your device has been UICC unlocked then all the radios should work. The Sprint S6 is a "Global" device. I am running mine with a GSM sim card without issue. Flashing anything to a sprint device that isn't made for sprint usually will brick your device if it flashes.If you do some research you will find how to remove that annoying roaming indicator. I know I've seen something about this in the HTC One section before. By the way are you getting LTE with your verizon card installed?
I successfully went to 2ARF4 on this and it's now a G960U1 but I'd like the AT&T wifi calling, is it possible to flash the AT&T software to gain that or does it have to be a AT&T branded device for their system to register it? If it's possible which OS version should I get, I don't see a ATT version of the one that's on here or anything that would be the alternative.
You can get Sprint S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay:

Also can do Bad IMEI devices also.
After you're unlocked should convert to ATT software when you insert sim.

It hasn't converted to AT&T software on the U1 firmware I flashed. That's why I started the thread to see if anyone else has been able to

First SIM unlock the phone...
Then, Use an unlocked and generic firmware like g960usqs3brj6 and flash with newest Odin.... Use csc NOT home csc and do NOT insert a SIM....
Factory reset, boot phone and setup to home screen... Then just pop in an AT&T sim and click restart device. It should install everything you need for att. I am running att video calling and all other features on my g960u with the above firmware and have no problems... Lists ATT/ATT/SPR under service provider now... Good Luck!
Has anyone had success with installing carrier firmware on an unlocked phone from a different carrier? I am able to flash XAA (unlocked) software to the phone but haven't had success with verizon software. After installing the unlocked software, I lose the original T-mobile screen when powering on along with all the bloatware. However, if I try to flash verizon firmware onto it, it reverts back to T-mobile screen, bloatware etc.
I've tried the following:
TMB-->VZW (fail, stays TMB)
TMB-->XAA (success, even changes phone info to SM-n975u1)
TMB-->XAA-->VZW (fail, reverts to TMB)
VZW software used was for SM-n975u as that was what people had success with when I looked through forums.
I'm going to leave it with unlocked firmware for now but would appreciate any tips with flashing verizon firmware. I'd like to get all the verizon features if possible.
Are you trying to use you T-Mobile SIM card with it as Verizon? If so, newer firmwares will prohibit that due to the SIM detect function.
Thanks for the response. No, I'm using my Verizon sim card. The call, text, web actually work fine. I was just hoping to get functions like Verizon Voicemail, call filter etc.
Did you boot your phone with the VZW SIM after flashing XAA? You have to do this before flashing the VZW firmware. That's worked for me when I went from ATT --> XAA + boot with VZW SIM --> VZW

No I havent tried that yet! Will attempt it when I get home from work and update the post. Thanks guys!
I flashed xaa and put in my vzw sim, restarted the phone and then tried to flash vzw. Unfortunately that did not work. Still comes up Tmobile.
I'm trying to get my unlocked att Note10+ to Verizon. I hope flashing will get this to work
As of now, I think just using the unlocked xaa firmware is your best option. Download the xaa firmware using samfirm or sammobile and flash it with Odin. It seems to be working fine for me currently. I cant get all Verizon functions like Verizon Voicemail but I haven't noticed many other issues.

Are you flashing the Verizon Userdata as well in Odin?
do anyone have stock firmware for SM-N975U trying to remove the frp on it it a verizon version dont care about erasing the data on it
Out of curiousity why did you want to got to verizon? I have found a software issue with the n976V firmware that locks out verizon MVNO sims. Seems to bypass the sim data per my carrier.
Was looking to go the other way.
