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.

So I currently have an att sims card in my device. And I'm noticing a ' T-Mobile update service Update postoned' message. Is it safe to take the update even though I'm using att with this device?
anyone's input how this may affect an at&t user appreciated.

I don't think it should be any problem to update the phone with the att SIM on... at least in theory. I unlocked my T-Mobile Note 4 and it's working flawlessly on att at full LTE speeds, minus Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE of course, but I don't really care for those features on AT&T.

I'm going to root/custom recovery later anyways so I'd probably over write it with a custom rom. Probably doesnt pay to update.

It will update your baseband (modem) and a few other things that are inaccessible to the user, so yes, update it. In fact, the update does update the modem to version NJ7 (you're probably on NIH).

I am on N910TUVU1ANIH, So updating the baseband is needed to be compatible with custom roms? I'm just worried about bonking my signal since its not a tmobile sims.

with no problems using the t mobile one with an att sim, have been connected to 4G LTE all day.

I'm on the latest update with latest modem and I have absolutely great reception on at&t with my T-Mobile Note 4. Better than my Nexus 5 for sure.
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, does anybody know how to do a carrier switch with snapdragon like Samsung galaxy S8?
There is a how to in the S8 sub forum. Wonder if it is done the same way. Anybody tried?

We will need eng kernel before that happens. I'm sure it will be doable in the future, not now though.
Edit.....looks like note 8 could be different than the s8...

Flash to all and all to flash...no prob
So if I flash AT&T firmware on Tmobile Note 8, it should work fine on AT&T since there's no Tmobile Unlock App in it? Right?
Just bought a Tmobile Note 8 and am trying to make it run on AT&T

Yes...if you look into the s8+ forum for carrier switch there is a guide that should also work for note 8...the main focus is to change the csc...however, you may just be able to flash the ATT firmware and it work when you put in the ATT SIM. It may be better to flash the unlocked firmware first...and then to att...but to get the device to be csc ATT, instead of ATT, ATT, TMB, You may have to follow the S8+ guide...
So try the easiest first, flash ATT...If activation does not work, flash Unlocked then ATT, if that is no good...follow the S8+ guide with Canadian firmware to change csc code of device to ATT...you might pm the op of the S8+ guide about what Canadian firmware to flash to change the csc...I am going to make a guide for us when I have a chance to test it myself...if just flashing to AT&T works...awesome, good luck
Oh yeah...the device must be unlocked first to change carriers...you can get it unlocked by T mobile or by paying for it
Is anyone working on a carrier switch process for the Note 8 like the S8/S8+ ? I have a Verizon Note 8 that I would like to run the T-Mobile firmware on.
Thanks!

I found that the Canadian file has to be the XAC version and following the S8+ guide does work...follow it to the letter...still, if the device is unlocked...you should be able to flash the other carrier firmware and insert carrier SIM...I can't test beyond Sprint though and since my device is the XAA version my results may be different...if you are successful with the S8+ guide...let us know

Make sure to use the Canadian XAC when at the step...let me know how it goes and whether you had to modify any steps so I can incorporate the info in a guide...

I have a Verizon S6, Im on Tmobile. I keep getting problems with calls going to voice mAIL. cAN SOME ONE POST A LINK TO THE MOST recent firmware for the TMobile variant that I may be able to flash?
Also, is it possible to root this verizon s6 and run it on Tmobile with no problems?
Thanks in advance.

Pretty certain that if you flash TMobile firmware to a Verizon model you will end up with a brick. Available root for the Verizon Galaxy S6 depends on the build number but root shouldn't be required to run on TMobile if the device is unlocked. The forum is here:
