Verizon Note 10 plus switching to ATT How do I which firmware will work properly and make all features avaible.

I've been Note 1 user since March and love the device and additional functionality, not to mention screen size. Thinking about switching to Note 2. But I need to make a decision on whether I will go with International Unlocked or with AT&T Branded. I am not all that interested in having LTE speeds, though if it is available I will use it. The question that I have is that I do like to have updated firmware available to install as it comes out, which is often enough with International version. With Note 1 International and AT&T were different devices with different hardware, so firmware for International would not work. What about Note 2? It's hardware will be the same, sans LTE radio. Would International firmware work on AT&T branded version?
So, to summarise, I am trying to decide on:
1. International with no LTE speed but better battery and quicker firmware update availability
2. AT&T Branded with LTE speed and probably lesser batter life and possibly usual carrier firmware upgrades slowness.
3. Since all Note 2 are the same hardware with exception of LTE radio same international firmware will work across all versions.
Anyone has suggestions?
Thanks,
Hey folks,
I was originally considering purchasing the Note 3, as currently T-Mobile's Note 3 is the best to use on AT&T's LTE network since it doesn't come with a locked bootloader. However, I figured I'd purchase the less expensive Note 2 since I can't justify the $700+ price yet.
Which Samsung Note 2 version is not only the best to use on AT&T's LTE network but comes with the least bloatware? Is is the AT&T version, International version, or one of the Canadian versions? Will Android updates through the AT&T version come out as soon as it's available, or will it be anything like the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket where updates were released 3254320512 years later?
I'd also like to be able to use international sim cards when traveling abroad.
Much appreciated, thanks.

I cant talk too much on the first question, although I would guess that the ATT version will be the best, but if any of the others can operate on the same LTE bands they should work as well, although I would be careful with modem versions/etc,
As for the updates, ATT is usually slow, but then again most carriers are. Only way to get the fastest updates is to get an unbranded international Note 2
I got an AT&T Note II and had little difficulty rooting it and installing CleanROM, which got rid of a lot of the bloatware. More recently I went to CyanogenMod-based ROM, and now there's no Samsung software at all to worry about. That also takes care of the update issue since I don't have to wait for the carrier to update.
Yep, the best version will be the ATT version. As far as the updates go, it'll be getting the 4.3 update around mid-late November per all the leaks. Otherwise you can root it and flash a ROM that has no bloatware.

Hi everyone,I am new here, I have a verizon note 4 and i am outside of us,
I have updated to marshmallow and saw my friend who have a marshmallow sprint note 4 that many features and many apps where not there in my phone
So is there any way i can install a stock sprint rom on my verizon note 4
Even if i unlocked the boot loader
Why don't you look for a VZ Note 4 ROM that has the features you are looking for?
Hello,
I recently changed to T-mobile. Is it possible to flash T-mobile firmware for ATT s6, edge+ and Note 5 ? Noticed not very good signal using ATT firmware. Please let me know.
Thanks
I don't believe so, due to how locked up tight Samsung and AT&T have their variants. I use an AT&T S6 Edge Plus on T-Mobile and get fine signal... Not sure what the issue is with your end.
I have a Note 10+ 5G from T-Mobile and was wondering if it would be at all possible to enable NR Band n5 for use on AT&T's low band 5G network. Because both of the devices hardware is identical would it be theoretically possible to enable that band?
maybe flashing the ATT software with ODIN, but with ATT if the IMEI# isn`t in there database as a ATT branded phone, they wont let you use the wifi calling and 5G, I just sold a oneplus 8 pro thats suppose to work with ATT 5G and I have the elite plan with 5g and it would not work, so I think if it`s not a ATT branded 5G phone you won`t get the 5G, I have the 10 plus 5g right now but its ATT one, Tmobile is more flexible with unlocked phones, I regret going back to ATT, and it will be the last time I go back to them end of the year I plan on going back to Tmobile.
