I have an unlocked Tmobile Note 3 (running on AT&T network) and I would like to know if I could install roms from AT&T version on it? If so, do I need to do anything special for it?
In my opinion it would be a downgrade. At&t packs it's devices with bloat.
Any particular reason you want an at&t rom?

I've been watching the market for a decently priced 32gb version of the Moto X for use on any of the ATT MVNOs (ST/net10/AIO/Red Pocket/GoPhone) and I'm wondering what the experiential difference is between the Dev version and the ATT. Is there bloatware on the ATT model vs the Dev? Does the ATT model receive updates around the same time as the Dev. version? I'm gonna need the 32gb model no matter which I choose.
I know the bootloader is locked on the ATT version, but both can be rooted. I don't care about kernels or roms on this phone; just want to root and install Motoexposed or something like that. I presume I'm going to need the phone (if I can an ATT model) unlocked for use on the MVNOs? Not sure on that one.
Cheers!
Hello all! So I current have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3, but I will be switching over to AT&T soon. I know that T-Mobile will unlock the phone for me, and I am assuming it will work on the AT&T network. My question is when I switch over to AT&T, I will be able to receive the OTA updates for my Note 3 from the AT&T network without a problem, correct? Also, are there specific AT&T apps that I will be able/need to download?
Thank you!!

You have to use Odin to flash the t-mobile firmware after you download it, or grab a Sim from t-mobile. Our you can always grab the update.zip if someone is nice enough to package it and flash in the stock recovery.

Specifically... the booloader will be unlocakable (or at least easier than carrier restricted versions) and I can falsh roms etc, correct?
I would be bringing this to my T-mobile plan.
Is any of the process made easier by the fact that its an unlocked version?
Thanks in advance

The process would be the same to root and/or unlock the bootloader. Seeing as T-Mobile allows the bootloader to remain unlocked, it's neck and neck with the International variant. I just bought the 920I and that was just because I want to be able to flash custom roms & kernels as soon as they come out, and that's really the only benefit is the dev support. You get wifi calling and LTE advanced calling with the T-Mobile variant so I think if you will be on T-Mobile then I would stick to the T-Mobile S6.

If you have tmobile you're already lucky enough to have an unlocked version. If you buy an international variant then as of now there's a call audio issue regarding using cross variant roms.
If you use a TMO rom on the international variant, you lose call audio and vice versa: using an international rom on a tmo variant. Everything you think you'd be getting as a benefit from purchasing the international variant is actually already included in the Tmo variant.
Verizon and ATT are the ****ers here when it comes to locking their bootloaders.
Buy it from TMO you'll likely save money seen as they're your carrier and it will function properly too.
I'm on xtrestolite with custom recovery root obviously and ktoon kernel if you need proof haha. Tmo S6 here
I have an At&t Note 4 that I am using on ting, which piggybacks off of T-Mobile here in my area.
I am wondering since I cant find much of any custom roms for the at&t variant of the Note 4, if I would be able to install T-mobile Roms? Since I am on T-Mobile towers?
Thanks in advance.

Your AT&T phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader?
is there any way to get a stock at&t 5.1.1 rom on my t mobile note 4?

Oh, no, I'm not rooted or anything yet. The phone will be here in a few days.
So I take it the reason why there aren't any at&t roms, is because there is no root and unlocked bootloader? Crap!
OK, Nevermind to this thread. I just sent a return request for the at&t note 4 and I ordered a T-Mobile Note 4. Problem solved.
Hello I have a verizon note 4 and am using it on tmobile my question is this, Now that the 910v can be rooted what happens if I root it and download a tmobile rom and install it on the phone? Will it work or will it brick the phone? I have no idea if there is any real difference between the verizon note and the tmobile note besides the carrier. Any input would be appreciated as I cant stand the verizon bloatware and would love to have my tmobile stuff back
thanks in advance
As far I know not possible
Tmobile is GSM model and verizon is CDMA frequency bands different.
I did something similar with AT&T G2 and loaded a Tmobile ROM on it. First you need root and TWRP or equivalent. and then some developer have to created a modified bootstack that are tailored for your phone model to work with the rom. Once you load the bootstack, then you load the rom without the radio. Not for the faint of heart.
