The only options i saw on lg-firmwares for my device (G820UM) were US cellular, verizon, or CAN.
I flashed the CAN version and it’s great except I can’t make calls. Is there a certain version you guys recommend for limited bloat that will also allow calls?

Yes, if you're in the US, flash the version that says USA. And, the firmware you're looking at is the G820QM not G820UM. They are interchangeable, but the UM is carrier specific.
So just to be clear I can flash the USA G820QM KBZ on my G820UM and it will work fine?

Yes it will work. Many, including myself, have done it many times.
The hardware of these devices, the QM and UM, are the same. It's just that the QM rom comes on unlocked devices, whereas the UM comes on carrier specific, usually locked, devices.
But if your's is carrier unlocked, then you can flash the QM and essentially have the exact same thing, except for one thing, your imei will always identify the device as Sprint, or ATT or whatever it was originally. So be sure to only use a carrier that doesn't care about that.

The US variants wont have the multitasking bar. Can we root then flash the cooked international ROMs which provide this instead?
I've been meaning to ask this as well.
just picked up my Note 2 for T-Mobile and would like to know as well. i'm assuming yes since internally the US variants and international are the same except for the modem. i'm itchin to flash a rom on this...
i read post one thread they try flash G7100 rom over G7105 and got stuck in boot loop. You can search in general thread and find out
i specifically want to know about using a TMOB variant on AT&T

just don't flash the radio (modem). probably needs some RIL fixin' and what not. then i think these roms will work across most variants.
I believe it has something to do with isis. The rep told me that all SIMs are isis now.
To maintain security, I am guessing it has to be the TMO baseband.
I could be wrong.

Is is possible to flash back just the stock kernel and keep the international ROM, or will that reinstate the T-Mobile lock?
Also, I went ahead and filed a complaint with the FCC that I believe T-Mobile is violating the new unlock law. Essentially, T-Mobile is making customers who buy the phone outright get service and I don't think this is appropriate. I got an email today that the complaint was served to T-Mobile and they have 30 days to reply. Let's see what happens.

Yeah , i'm really hoping this works.. i hate that Tmobile came up with this **** app ,, why are we at fault cause their customers sell phones
Hi guys!
Did it worked?
Cheers!
This is happening with all new T-mobile phones. They have a eligibility requirement where the phone must be used on a T-mobile account for 40 days before it can be unlocked through their "unlock device" app. Which is honestly... a piece of ****.
SOLUTION: 1. unlock code. 2. Non T-mobile rom. 3. ??? 4. profit! (jk on 3.)
What many have been doing on other phones: m9, z3, etc, you flash a non t-mobile rom! that's pretty much it. You flash a non T-mobile ROM and put in your sim card, it should ask for the sim unlock pin/code. After you do that ONCE, it should be completely unlocked, you can go back to stock or any other rom and it should be sim unlocked!
I have not tried it on the s6 edge myself. BUT it should be the same thing.
GOOD LUCK!
I with for code
I'm ready, I bought the code but I don't received yet.. I have my phone rooted, with twrp. I download the ROM and the kernel..
I think the code arrived in two days... But if somebody haves news.. Please.. Tell us.

The thing is though, what had made me go ahead was that I'd read somewhere that Lineage supported g960F/D.
I'll try and find the link but, in case you're reading this now, does that sound impossible?

SM-G960F/DS

I've flashed roms many times before but not for ages and I've forgotten what oem unlock even means.
Does the fact that Lineageos is supported mean that in fact there IS oem unlock? And does that mean that I can use most other roms too and basically have the same flexibility that I would have if I had a g960F?
There's this too, PoochyX: Putting LineageOS on a Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F/DS)

That sounds better. Once you are able to SIM-Unlock, you can Bootloader unlock and flash the Global firmware.
It's doable. The Global/EU ROMs will break your modem, so you'll have to re-flash your TMO modem back in order to get connectivity. I will not be making a guide until MSM is available.

You can ask the same for why they removed dual sim support on Global that's not opened up when you flash another region.
At a minimum, the T-Mobile ROM has device_policy.xml set explicitly to ssss single sim. Replacing it with dsds enabled device_policy.xml from another region crashes the modem. Flashing another region's modem.img does the same thing essentially.

But I am still wondering why this would break if EU and Global work perfect with T Mobile. That is so weird.

Like doesn't make sense if EU and Global work with T Mobile so by switching it would stop working. That makes no sense to me.

It's not that the modem doesn't work on the carrier, it's that the modem itself crashes. I'm referring specifically to T-Mobile branded device where the model number ends in 7
If someone on an EU device want to send me their redacted qxn or trust me with their full qxn, I can test somethings out
That is crazy... Cause guaranteed T Mobile users have done this but I haven't read of modems crashing. Truly interesting.

I can almost guarantee you I'm one of the first LE2127 owner to unlock the bootloader and do this.

Hey shorty I bought it used with U firmware and just to be safe to make sure it's stock and the fact U (and W) versions didn't get much updates, I flashed with the U1.

I only as Cuz I have AT&T and I'm trying to figure out why mine has a completely different firmware then what sammobile shows what the at&t firmware is and my zfold4 is saying it's on the current firmware witch clearly tells me it's not!! oh does yours show the oem unlock btw
At&t z fold 4 SM-F936U or SM-F936U1
Hello all now I'm just confused so my zFold4 says it's the SM-F936U and I did the updates sense i figured if the US varients are not rootable as of now im just going to update it to the 13 update and after it up dated twice last night and it...

Hey I'm not too sure if you mean this, but yes mine is factory unlocked (actually a dev/demo device). And yes on Canadian network. You can always flash with the newest ATT ROM if yours is from ATT but hasn't gotten updates. Just make sure it indeed is the right model.

Hey I have a question, in order to update to the W XAC, did you have to delete user data? Or were you able to update keeping your data. Thanks

I did not keep user data so not sure if you can or should. But I think if you're switching model/CSC, the general consensus is to do a clean flash. If you just want to enable Canadian bands that are disabled on a US device, you can search up a way to do so I think using engineering mode.

Okie dokie sounds good I'm just looking into it and noticed all varients have a similar codes and my pituitary one has the firmware matching the MetroPCS firmware but the only firmware that I have found for at&t comes up as the smf936u1 at least on sammobile I suppose I'll have to check other firmware sites thanks for the reply hope you are having a wonderful day

If you're on any of the U or U1 firmware, I think you can safely flash to any other U/U1 without any issues. I usually cross reference with samfw and Frija too. Have a wonderful day too friend.
Would this enable Sim for phones without it? The SM-F9360 does not have esim support, could be software, I hope.
Can i go from U to W and then root? Or not possible?
Can I go from ATT and flash TMO variant if the model number is the same? SM-F936U? The phone is unlocked FYI. [email protected]
