I want to get rid of the AT&T updating process and their branding on the phone entirely. I am running MJ5 4.3 JB, and from what I was able to do with my S4, I can flash an international version without the branding. Is this correct with the note 3?
no you cant the boot loader is locked. youre stuck with the at&t

Hello I need to update only the boot loader as I am on Tmobile now and use safestrap. I would like to put a tmo lollipop ROM on my phone but the boot loader is 4.4.2 and my baseband is G900AUCU1ANCE . any help would be great. I no longer have att so I can't do an ota update to fix this
Thanks
Just use the muniz_ri upgrade thread. Regardless of what service you use you have an att model and is only compatible with att software, you can run other model's roms(im running a tmo lollipop rom now) just as long as it doesnt use incompatible firmware.

Since the att sm-g800a boot loader is locked and we can flash any custom roms on it, can u just flash the unlocked version's firmware on the the att phone converting it to the unlocked version? Any ideal, thoughts, or comments. Thanks
I need some help. I have a Verizon S8. I flashed the unlocked firmware and am running the phone on T-Mobile. The problem is, I cannot seem to flash the phone back to the Verizon Firmware. It's also not acting like an unlocked phone, but rather a T-Mobile phone (complete with T-Mobile splash screens, even though I never flashed the T-Mobile firmware). No matter how many times I flash the Verizon Firmware using Odin, the phone still boots up as a T-Mobile phone. Any ideas?
I flashed my Verizon s8 with the files from this page, everything works flawlessly, no bloat.

I have an AT&T unlocked S10+ that I've been running the T-Mobile firmware on since day one. Now I want to go back to the AT&T firmware and I have downloaded multiple AT&T firmwares. Each time I try to flash the firmware using Odin, it fails.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The phone has the latest June update for T-Mobile. I wipe the device in recovery and then boot into download mode.
Anyone here please tell me what I am doing wrong.

What fail message is it giving?
If the T-Mobile firmware is bootloader version 2 the att firmware has to be bootloader version 2. You can't go back to version 1.
Hi i am new here and need help with updating my Samsung note 9 i still have a baseband N960USQS1ARI5 but will like to update to the latest firmware. i'm using an unlocked AT&T phone. can anyone guide me? I'm not sure if updating the firmware will lock the phone and the process to update, do I just update the firmware in stages as the updates were released till i get to the latest update or can i update straight up to the latest? I am thinking of using Odin, is that a safe way to do this? any help will be appreciated. Lastly, can I change from the AT&T firmware to lets say a none carrier based firmware so as to stop seeing the AT&T logo on boot up? Maybe switch to a firmware that supports global or international? Does anyone have links to an unlocked firmware update i can use, as well? Please help!
I must state that the phone never updates automatically as it always says the software is up to date.

to your last point, at&t phones are notoriously bad at updating
factory unlocked phones will remain forever unlocked and phones unlocked that are bespoke to a specific carrier will also remain unlocked even with Odin flashes providing that the method employed to unlock it was legitimate. Some unlock methods employ root and only trick the phone into thinking its unlocked. Well, once you remove root, and thusly the trick, the unlock is gone. I have ran across rare examples where the person swore up and down that they unlocked their phone with a legit unlock code and that it relocked to a carrier once the sim was inserted and initial programming completed, but i dunno. Sounds weird to me, but every person who said this also said that the phone locked to a carrier other than the one it came from originally. Take that for what its worth, but i still mostly stand by the first couple lines of this section of my diatribe
If you want the at&t crap gone, get the N960U1 firmware and flash it in Odin. You will need the modified version of Odin to flash it so it can ignore the 255 errors the phone throws up from flashing firmware for a carrier (or, in this case, no carrier) on to a phone that it wasnt originally designated (not designed) for
go to sammobile.com/firmwares, get the info for the firmware you want to d/l, get the Frija tool or Samfirm and download the firmware thru one of those as theyre literally 5x faster and flash it
