I have a carrier unlocked TMOBILE S8+ , not rooted, Is it possible to flash firmware of verizon or an unlocked firmware and move my service to VERIZON? please help! thanks, do i need to root?
Why would you need to flash anything other than wanting certain carrier apps? You just said that your phone is carrier unlocked. Which means you can take it to a different carrier.

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'm sorry but I have some questions. Hope you guys can help me out.
1. Can I flash the U1 firmware(unlocked) to get sim unlocked on my T-mobile S8+?
Because I'm not American, I need to sim unlocked my phone to use my country's carrier.
2. If the first one doesn't work, can I flash the s8+ sprint firmware on my s8+ T-mobile and after that can I sim unlock the T-mobile s8+ with buying the Sprint unlock code?
Because in my country, T-mobile sim unlock is much higher than the others.
Forgive me if my worse Engish bothered you.
Thank you so much.

From what I know it has to be unlocked through tmobile. Flashing different firmwares won't do anything and in the case of the u1 firmware all it does is remove carrier apps it does not unlock the phone to be used on other carriers.

Thank you so much for your clearly answer.
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!
Hi
I have been able to flash the unlocked non carrier specific firmware on several Verizon Samsung phones over the past few years. Through my employer, I was able to get a free Motorola One 5g UW that I want to take and use on ATT. I know it has the antennas. I can put my sim in, and it shows cricket, but it is locked through Verizon. Is it possible to flash a Motorola from one carrier specific firmware over to another like the Samsungs ? Verizon says it will unlock after 60 days, but even still, it will have Verizon bloatware on it. Thanks in advance.
It doesn't work
Radio in AT&T and VZ versions are different.
Moreover, both bootloader are dead locked and there's NO WAY to unlock
I have a verizon s20 plus that was carrier unlocked by verizon and I want to give it to someone with T-Mobile. If I flash it with T-Mobile or unlocked firmware will that enable lte band 71?

Yes, it should. IF your VZW S20 is already updated to android 11 you'll probably have to downgrade it android 10 , at least I did. To get to TMobile flash Android 10 unlocked on top of the VZW firmware. Let it boot all the way up, insert TMobile SIM, you should get a pop up saying carriers settings need to update or some such, and ask you to reboot. After you've rebooted power off, boot to download mode and flash the TMobile firmware.
You could probably leave it on the unlocked if you wanted. I've just had better signal strength with the TMobile firmware.
