OPX is a retail variant, so it's possible someone flashed a retail fw to get rid of bloat. Look by your charger port on your phone to confirm that you have an -04 (TMO) variant. If so, then search for "How to return to Stock" and you'll find everything you need to flash stock TMO fw. If you have anything else besides -04 then reply back with what you have.
As for installing lineage, as long as your device is bootloader unlocked, you should be able to get it sorted and install lineage.

Yes its -04 variant. now its confirmed that its tmo variant can i go further to upgrade it to PPX version? because i found out that there is a pie update for this firmware which is "NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-24_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml".
also as you said someone flashed a retail fw in my device so i can consider that bootloader of my device is unlocked, right?

There is no pie firmware for the TMO variant. If you flash any pie firmware you can kiss your baseband goodbye and enjoy your calculator. I don't know for fact that someone flashed a retail fw, I just know that TMO fw is OCX. To see if your bootloader is unlocked, reboot to bootloader and look. You should see flashing_unlocked if it is.

Well to be fair, I did install pie retail on my tmo and, after God only remembers how, I managed to comeback to life with imei and wifi. But yeah, I don't reccomand anyone to flash pie stock, unless I really hate that person ???

I don't have my phone rooted and I'd like to upgrade it to 5.0.0 lollipop. I see Samsung only put out the update to other countries and not the US, how nice of them.
Would I even notice a difference using it or would putting the Aussie version of lollipop on my US t-mobile phone be a no no?
Thank you
You cannot flash an Australian stock LP ROM to the USA T-Mobile phone via Odin.
There is a T-MOBILE Australian lollipop upgrade on Samsungs website for the m919. For verification, It won't work on my m919? Would u mind to help me understand why?
Thank you
The bootloader in the rom will be compared to the hardware being flashed. If it's a match, it will flash but not necessarily function properly.
If the Australian m919 is the same as the hardware as the USA variant, it will probably flash but I don't know if it will work n properly.
Ok thank you for the explanation
Why don't you install Lineage which will put you into >7.0

Sorry for this if it is answered elsewhere but I didn't see a specific answer in my search.
I'm looking for the unlocked international version of the S9 because I want to root it, flash ROMs, etc..
I see the international SM-960 models that have the Exynos chip, which I know can be unlocked.
I also see the international SM-G9600 models that have the Snapdragon chip. Can the international variant with Snapdragon also be unlocked, or is it Exynos only?
In some strings I've seen mention of getting an unlock code from Samsung after 7 days. Is that for the 9600 (snapdragon), the 960 (Exynos), or both?
The SM G9600 has an unlocked bootloader like the exynos variants, but since there is no TWRP for the g9600 you kinda can't do much with it. There are no custom ROMs out there for the snapdragon version. But there are GSIs that can be installed thanks to Project treble. But like I said, without twrp you can't do much.

Hi, I've bought an 960U in the USA, and looking to flash the Brazilian ROM, but the variant used here is the 9600. Can I Flash It?

No, the SM-G960U (AT&T carrier locked version, IIRC) has a locked bootloader. I do not think you can flash any new firmware to it, unfortunately.
EDIT: Maybe you can, follow the guide in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/how-to-flash-u1-firmware-to-device-t3765200
I'm not sure, but it may be worth a try.

Hi
I have the 960u unlocked, I bought it in a best buy.
This makes a difference to flash or not the 9600?

Carrier unlocked is not the same as bootloader unlocked. One let's you use any carrier SIM card the other let's you flash stuff.
I can buy the N9600 but I am not entirely sure if it will be able to get fully twrp working and root
I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie
There is no pie for nash xt1789-04 (att) but there is pie released for other z2 force. Will it break my phone if I flash pie stock over ATT stock rom? If so, can I have a link to the pie rom?
There's no stock 9.0 for any model. GSIs and custom ROMs are available, but an unlocked bootloader is required for either route. Users of the ATT & VZ models must wait for Moto to rollout Pie officially.
If you're interested in those things I'd strongly recommend selling your ATT Z2.

Oh, I thought pie was out because on gsmarena it says it's upgradeable. I guess it's wrong.
But when this does come out, for let's say, Sprint, is it possible for me to flash a sprint rom to my ATT MZ2F?

Moto released their update rollout. Among the phones slated to receive Pie you'll find the Z2 and Z2 Play.
Sure, you can try to flash the official build on your Z when it's out. Just keep in mind that the phone will probably lose LTE, and possibly other functions.
Ok thank you for answering

Normally, yes you can flash from a different model (i.e. Sprint FW on TMO model), with the exception of the AT&T/Verizon variants, which are bootloader locked, and you cannot flash anything (not even official firmware) on them.

That's wrong because I was able to flash android 8.0 att over 7.1.1 because it wouldn't let me update normally. I'm pretty sure you can flash images with the same stock signature, but I'm asking if it's possible to flash stock firmware from another model on to att phone with bootloader locked

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant official firmware of a different model.
Hey guys, i'm about to buy an Moto Z2 Force for a good price, but i have a doubt, the model number is the Xt1789-04 from at&t, so i was watching some post here about the phone and theres another z2 force with the same model number, the Tmobile and another model, the Xt1789-05 global, i'm the kind of person who love flashing things, roms, kernels, so i can flash roms, kernels, gsi roms and others with the at&t variant or i will be limited to keep the stock?

ATT and TMO are both -04 but only the TMO is bootloader unlockable, not the ATT. However, both are stuck on oreo, no official pie, but there are pie roms for the TMO.
The -05 is bootloader unlockable and has pie officially, plus can run roms.

Right. As of now there is no known way to unlock the bootloader of an ATT model.

Hey,
I've got an att locked S22, and att have gone and done a bunch of dumb stuff like locking rcs to their implementation and installing a bunch of stuff as system that I don't want etc. I'm wondering if it's possible to flash a non carrier-specific firmware to the NA S22?
Thanks
Yes, you can flash the unlocked software to the phone and it will convert it into a U1 model, with OTA updates and everything. Every S or Note series subforum has the instructions listed, except for this one for some reason.
You can follow the instructions here, just substitute the S901 for the S908 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s908u1-versions.4400511/page-56#post-86785943

do you know if it's possible to dirty flash from U to U1 firmware?
I believe it will be a full wipe. Just back everything up to Samsung or Google.
@truemetro , were u able to successfully flash the global / non-carrier ROM to your phone?
I own att mobile s901u. Couldn't flash s901u1 xaa firmware.
What an I missing?
