I received my samsung s6 edge plus but it was sim locked to Tmobile and since I stay in Africa, I had to root the phone to unlock the sim but now I will like to update to the latest version of the software and even the latest version of the edge screen too. I tried using smart switch but it said unsupported device. Kindly help. Thank you.
I bought a new AT&T Note 10+ from someone and then unlocked it. I have T-Mobile as carrier. I can use it with t-mobile for general use. But I am reading there are some features that wont work even with this generation of phones. Such as VoLTE and Video Chat and may be small other features . Also Voice mail default T-mobile app wont work either.
When I search I find many people have Flashed their phones with T-Mo firmware on Samsung unlocked devices. But i could not find any reference to T-Mo downloaded on a AT&T unlocked phone.
Any suggestions. If it is possible to wipe out AT&T from it and make it a T-Mobile operating system.
Thanks.
I have a At&t Note 10+5g and running latest update from T-mobile using Frija to find the latest firmware and Odin to flash the firmware to the phone.
Download manual samfrew.com or change csc

I am thinking about doing this. Just to confirm you have a galaxy note 10+ N975U from ATT and you're getting 5G through Tmobile on Band 71?
U might want check ur model numbers as n975u is not 5g.

It's wierd because T Mobile isn't mm wave 5G, it runs on Band 71 which e n975u supports. So I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get 975u to do 5G on Band 71.

Thanks for the fast reply!
You'll need to flash the combination firmware and use Realterm to change the CSC from ATT to TMB, I think I saw instructions for multi csc device changing, should work for your device as well.

Try *#272*imei# to change your csc.

Tmobile uses a mix of mmwave and band n71.
And the band 71 thing is a bit more then that. They list it as band n71.. which (after reading on it) is not setup the same as band 71. Guess you can think of it like how wifi 6 works.
The n975u and n975u1 just don't have the hardware support for accessing/using band n71
I got frustrated searching for T-Mobile SM-N976U but just got AT&T unlocked SM-N976U. Thiniking of flashing T-Mobile firmware. Thank you OP for the forum, else I would have been stuck on AT&T firmware.

Please how did you get this done? I have the same AT&T Note 10+ 5G and I'm trying to install TMB firmware on it. Can you please guide me though how to do this or if there's a thread with instructions ?
So what I did chronologically is:

Flashed using Odin and used CSC.. Did pot use HOME CSC
**Phone gets wiped out**
I searched and found user @tyrone1 who listed the followings.
Phone still booted with AT&T logo..after skipping all stuffs..I wrote down my IMEI number.
used *#272*IMEI NUMBER# the screen gave me two choices
Sales code and Network Change or
Only Network Change
I chose Sales code & Network Change
Next screen I was able to select TMB.. ( It also showed different carrier)
Once I select that the phone restarted.. I popped my T-Mobile SIM in
The screen splashed with T-Mobile..
I check the video call and worked like a charm!!!
Good Luck..
ATT Locked phone to work on tmobile

First of all, you are a gentlemen and a scholar!! all this worked
AND i like to add the following to carrier unlock your phone.
the *#272# imei # thing does work to switch back and forth from att to tmo to att.
I got att locked phone and want it to work on tmobile. A lot on swappa going for MUCH cheaper than the tmobile phone!
went here to follow link to ask att for carrier unlock code
https://www.usmobile.com/blog/how-to-unlock-your-phone-from-any-carrier/
it says you'll get the unlock code in 24-48 hours. I got it in 15 seconds. well took me longer to log in and check status!
I flashed everything per @visualpro instructions. everyhting worked except the pop...i'm on tmobile. it said invalid sim. to me that said FU, i'm carrier locked and you on tmobile. so i did the *#272 thing went back to att. rebooted and it asked me for carrier unlock code. inserted carrier unlock code that i got instantly.
it unlocked and i did the *# thing and went back to tmobile and everything is all good to go!!
This was originally a att note 10+ 5g, as you can see it's now a TMobile unit!!
That's great it all worked out!!.. My mistake that I didn't specify mine that it was already unlocked AT&T phone. That was cool when you use *#272 imei and went back and unlocked it Credit goes to user @tyrone1 for that tip!
I was simply frustrated with higher T-Mobile prices on Swappa and after searching XDA many time, got the AT&T variant. On Samsung page it would show was Galaxy Note10+ 5G 256GB (AT&T) MODEL NUMBER: SM-N976UZKAATT.. but as long I'm getting fully T-mobile features, I'm all set

That's what I was saying too. On swappa they a premium for the tmobile version. Almost 100 bucks more. I got mine for 100 less than the cheapest tmobile one and it had 2 cases and a 512 SD card for 600 bucks. I saw the regular note 10 going for 690 lol.
Love xda!!!
Do I need to enter developer mode and enable USB debugging or anything before I do these steps with the 10 plus 5g? Also got the 10 plus non 5g can I do this to skip going to u1? Can I just flash from u att to u tmo and then do the IMEI trick or do I still need to go u1 first? Thanks
Can anyone confirm which 5G bands they have got working with this switch, also looking to bring AT&T SM-N976U over to T-Mobile.
Thanks.
I have a note10+ t-mobile carrier. I bought it in china and still living here. It works fine, but on android 9, one UI 1.5 SM-N975U, the phone keeps asking me for an update which I did once and blocked my sim card after, so I had to return it. They back for me android 9 . my question is if I want to flash my phone to another carrier, it should also be t-mobile or USA, and can I do it with an open carrier, which I can use with any sim card?
and before flashing, what the most important things, I have to be careful when it comes to firmware or the phone model?
if someone can share with me the link of firmware I can use with the newest android I can install that would be awesome
my CSC is: N975USQS2ASJ8
service provider SW ver
SAMOC_SM-N975U_OYN_TMB_PP_0008
TMB/TMB/XAA
I'm sure it's been asked already but I can't find any threads on it.
Seems like every carrier is getting Android 12 on the S20 line EXCEPT T-mobile.
I have an s20+ that is still under contract and carrier locked.
Is there any way to use the VZW firmware on it? Co-worker has same phone on VZW and has same FW version base (G986USQS2).
His full version is G986USQS2EVA4 which is android 12. My current firmware is G986USQS2DUJ7 which is obviously android 11.
Can I download and flash the files from VZW from samfw.com? Would I need to change CSC?
Or could I just pop in a VZW Sim (even though it's locked to TMO) and it would just download the FW?
Thanks for any help.. It's REALLY frustrating that even Xfinity and comcast are getting it already but not Tmobile............
There is a REASON I bought a flagship from a major carrier.. Updates... But seems like tmobile is in last place to get it figured out.
I bought a network unlock code, phone is now on verizon, works with no issues.
Android 12. Is an official update for this? I am still on android 11. Can not even do the beta via samsung members.
