Hello community,
I couldn't find any info through the Search, so I was hoping someone could let me know if a rooted Nexus One for T-Mobile would work on AT&T. I have the unlocked bootloader, custom recovery image and ROM, the whole 9 yards, but what I don't have is the understanding about GSM networks and how the modifications I made to my phone affect the cross-network compatibility.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
The two models operate on different gsm bands. An unrooted t-mobile n1 will work on att, but only on edge..

They are ALL sold unlocked in the states.
True but there's 2 different unlocked versions and what the guy above you said is true.

Rooting should have no affect on it.
And if its the TMO version of the phone you will only have 2g (edge) on ATT. Seeing as both networks use different frequencies. And the cellular antenna will only be tuned to pick up 3g+ signals from TMOs frequencies.

I think..
But AT&T doesn't allow apps to be installed via apk files. So no 3rd party stuff.
If I'm correct.

You are so painfully incorrect. At&t has no presence on this phone. Get your facts right before you post here.
a T-Mobile Nexus One wont work on at&t's 3G network. Only on edge. Rooting has no effect.
Now close the thread.

It will work - you won't be able to use 4G though.
What about AT&T Note in europe?

More correctly, no 3G since TMo's 4G network is Faux-G!
Basically you'll get EDGE at best.

I want to purchase a unlocked Galaxy note 3, which version should I purchase that supports AT&T LTE and has Snapdragon processor?
Will this one work? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&qid=1387909957&sr=8-4&keywords=Galaxy+Note+3
That will work but you wont have LTE connection on ATT. The only variant that will give you LTE besides the ATT version is the Tmobile version SM-N900T

What is the model number of the AT&T S5? And what is the international version number? Does anyone know the difference? (example : the s4 is a SGH-i337 and the International is GT-I9505) they had the same hardware. Is this true in the s5 too?
Basically I want an unlocked version but the same hardware as the AT&T.

It will NOT get AT&T LTE unless you buy the T-Mobile version. Just FYI.
Hmm OK so a Tmobile and then Sim unlock it huh? Not afraid of doing it, just want to make sure. I bought a GT-I9305 and found out the same thing, had to sell it and get a GT-I9300. The S4 ATT just happens to be the same as the GT-I9505 but has locked bootloader. Looking to buy out if contract for the S5.

Yes. They will probably charge you more than the $660 on their site. Be prepared to pay over $700.
Cool thanks, that's about what I paid for the GT-I9300 at that time.

I bought a T-Mobile phone for $660 in a company store and bought an unlock code online, took 30 minutes to get it. Works like a charm on AT&T. Rooting and installing a custom recovery takes a couple of minutes, and all the international ROMs I've tried so far work fine.

When I purchased the T-Mobile Note 3 and used it on AT&T, I found my LTE signal to be extremely weak. It would often switch down to H+ when AT&T branded devices would maintain a solid signal.
While the G900T (T-Mo version) supports band 17 for LTE, it is not optimized for this frequency. Performance will be better on the AT&T variant.
So, are they all G900's? It's just the T, or F, or A etc. afterwards that distinguishes it?

Did you have to buy the new special Sim card? Also if you wouldn't mind, can you PM me the site you got the unlock code from?

No, I'm using the same SIM card I used in my S4. I forgot the name of the site, it was cellf something.
Well, as it has been with just about every phone prior to and since S2, ATT/TMO/etc US carrier put that crappy LTE supporting chipset instead of the glorious international guts. So IMO, if you're gonna pay full ~700, you might as well get the unadulterated phone off the bat.
International has 2x quad core cpus, our stateside retards all have same old single quad snapdragons.

So far I've had really good LTE signals. Seems at least as good if not better than my AT&T S4.

Yes but what model is that? That was my whole point in this thread. What international model is most similar to the ATT? (like I said before, the S4 GT-I9505 is the international version of S4 SGH-i337)

OK so I found this on Sam Mobile.
Here’s the list of model numbers of the SM-G900, or the Galaxy S5:

-*SM-G9009D_CHN_CTC (China)
-*SM-G900A_NA_ATT (AT&T)

Now I just need to find the right international one to match the AT&T

SM-G900H is the only true model. All others ones are potentially/definitely crippled just like ATT one from what I gather via GSMArena.
9505 was the crappier version of the S4, vs the true 9500.

So? Better hardware and overall performance vs a bit faster Facebook on the go?
Well I just like to match the hardware closer to what I would get here at the store, but just get it unlocked. I have the AT&T S2, the international S3 GT-I9300, the AT&T S4, and now looking to get the international S5. I buy in contract when my upgrade is available, then the international in between.

Don't care really about how Fb loads or not. I like to have the options whether they work or not, thus case being LTE

Shouldn't really be much debate on the international version vs at&t's model. Only thing you would loose is LTE. The international model is fully compatible with AT&T's HSPA+ network. No one seems to give that a thought anymore. Fact is - it performs the best it ever has. Very easy to achieve 9-10mbps down, which is more than efficient for anything.
Hey guys,
Is it possible to flash a international firmware onto an AT&T phone? If so, what's the best firmware to use? The BTU one?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The bootloader hasn't been unlocked yet and there's no root...my guess...no...unless you want to brick it.
You can't flash anything until the bootloader is unlocked. If it even gets unlocked

Thanks! Just trying to understand how this all works. I was able to do that on my HTC M8 so I thought I'd be able to do it on the Galaxy S6 Edge as well.
Thanks again.

If you like custom ROM's I'd go back to M8 or get an M9 dev edition. Going off the past Galaxy models on AT&T you are likely to never get the bootloader unlocked. Unless Samsung does something similar to what HTC did but I doubt it.
I really liked the M8 but the camera was one of the worst cameras I've had on a phone. The camera on the S6 edge is awesome and I'm happy with the phone. I may end up returning the AT&T version and getting a T-mobile or international version instead.

A word of caution, the International versions won't support carrier aggregation or VoLTE or HD Voice...Unless you have a specific need for root, you can disable 98% of the AT&T bloat. I ended up returning my International model because of these reasons and due to the fact that the signal was noticeably worse with the international version.

Thanks for your input! I'm really not sure what to do. I love this phone and I want to keep it. I have disabled almost all the AT&T bloat now and it's working OK. There's some interesting stuff happening here at XDA and maybe we'll be able to unlock the bootloader on the AT&T devices like the Chinese version, so I'm at a dilemma right now. I have until May 12 to return my device so I will decide by then. Although, after what you said, I may not want to get an international version after all, especially if the signal is not as good as the AT&T version...
So...
Did you flash the international firmware to your AT&T edge? If so how'd it turn out? Do you miss those features mentioned?
Thanks in advance.
No. I don't believe it's possible to do so until the bootloader is unlocked. I'm still using the AT&T version and haven't decided to trade it for the international version yet.

I was about to purchase the International version but there are tons of posts
on not all of the ATT LTE bands being supported. The ATT version even has the
2 brand new bands that will be rolled out so add those 2 bands to the unsupported list.
98% of the bloat can be disabled and you will get the Voice over LTE. I cancelled my
International version and ordered the ATT version. I am not looking back.
Also if you paid full price for the the phone you will get unlock code after 60 days.

has anything changed with this issue?
