Not that I know of yet, sorry.

Has anyone tried ART? and does the Canadian version support 64 bit?

Beautiful work with these stock files and posting all the rooting/recovery info and links in one thread. Looking forward to the ride on the GN4.

Which Rom section Can I use then to flash the Canadian version ? Tmobile, Att, ?

you say that
"It is also sim unlocked, so it can be used with any Canadian carrier."
I have a roger version, seems to be locked. So if I root and flash this will unlock the sim carrier?
thank you

Odd my Bell one is unlocked, I popped in my buddy's Rogers sim with no issue.
Also says it's unlocked on the box.... I'll post a picture when I get home.

Nice, at least we know now that Bell version is unlocked! I had to pay around 15$ to get it unlocked!

very odd, my bell was locked.....had to unlock before poping a rogers sim...

Rooting will not Carrier Unlock your device - Flashing a Custom Rom will not Carrier Unlock your device - Either pay Rogers $50 after 3 months - or go to sammobile.com - They offer a Carrier Unlock service.

I had problems with a tmobile rom so i used your steps with the stock NJ3 Wind rom. However the file turned out to be a Bell Rom. My csc even says BMC when i check it. My signal hasn't been as good on this stock rom.
Any chance you know where i can find the actual Wind rom that came with the phone?

Check on sammobile.com - You'll have to register / sign in if you want to download it

Its All Just N910W8

Mine definitely is, and came out the box that way. I've adjusted the OP to omit the sim unlock given that its inconsistent.

Firstly getting them from sammobile wont change a thing; the files provided are the same.

Now to clarify, unlike the US or the rest of the world; all the carriers in Canada use the same rom.
Meaning no matter if you have wind, bell, telus, rogers etc its all the same modem, kernel, recovery, and system.
Its all N910W8, so there cannot be a modem/signal difference.
And for proof here is a list of MD5's checksums for the files I provide and what sammobile provides:

It was the exact same with the Note 3; we only get one ROM.
So I am going to change the OP to reflect this fact and only provide 1 set of files with instructions on how to change your CSC.
Boom done problem solved.

So this confirms that any bell, Rogers or tells phone can be unlocked to work on the AWS networks such as wind or chatr? I have done a ton of research and could not find the AWS bands on bells info but have seen both model numbers on bells, winds, etc. As N910W8
Has anyone had luck unlocking even though a company?

I'm going to say yes given that they are all N910W8 and all running the same rom.
But I haven't tested it personally; buddy at work has wind, I will try his sim in my phone next week and report back.

[Q] Telstra firmware on AT&T tab?

Hi,
I'm in NY at the moment but I'm headed back to Australia later in the week. The AT&T Galaxy Tab is $649 and the Telstra version is $840. I gather that SIM unlocking either version is not a problem. I spend a fair bit of time in both places. As the Telstra version has voice enabled, I was wondering if it's possible to simply flash the Telstra firmware onto the AT&T Tab? Would this cause any issues? Would it then be essentially an identical device to the Telstra sold tab?
Thanks.
It looks like you will be the first to find out. Sorry couldn't help mate

Find us Telstra firmware and we can at least test that the phone works here in some way.
I posted a similar Q a while ago. I want to flash my T-mobile Tab into a generic Euro (GT-P1000). After that I would like it to work with upgrades through Kies etc.
If I just understood the risks or pro/cons I would go.
I bought the telstra tab. It is unlocked out of the box and has voice enabled. It uses the same bands as att. So I am guess ing this firmware would work fine on an att tab.

It should, but please follow my backup thread and backup your existing firmware before you flash the Euro firmware. Someone, maybe even you, may need it someday.
I don't think I will need to flash any other firmware. The telstra firmware has voice calling and side loading enabled out of the box. It is also sim unlocked. I should be able to put my att sim in, change the apn and go!

How do I know my Note 4 is a T-Mobile phone?

I bought a Galaxy Note 4 and the seller said it is a t-mobile phone.
He said it is unlocked and I am using this phone with AT&T.
However, I am having doubts that this is actually a t-mobile phone:
1. When I startup phone, there is no T-Mobile logo screen.
2. There are no T-Mobile apps preinstalled on the phone, except for Mobile Hotspot app.
3. I do not see Wi-Fi Calling feature in the settings list.
I am confused because of this info:
Model Number: SM-910T
Baseband Version: N910TUVU1ANIH
Build Number: N910T-RAC-CONVERSA-ITEP.2014.10.10.1645
Based on the above information, can anyone help me determine which carrier this phone belongs to? Thanks.
Also I used an app to check if the phone was rooted. It says NOT ROOTED.

I do understand that part. How come there is no t-mobile logo screen on startup, no pre-installed t-mobile apps, and no wi-fi calling feature in the settings list? that confused me.

Settings -> More Networks... no Wifi Calling?
Boot Animation can easily be removed/changed... then unrooted...
N910TUVU1ANIH is the original rom...
then comes N910TUVU1ANJ7...
and finally the newest N910TUVU1ANK4...

Only 3 options in More Networks:
1. Default Messaging App
2. Mobile Networks
3. VPN
Could it possibly be hidden or something because I am using AT&T service or would it show up no matter what service is being used?

No, you don't need root in order to flash stock rom...
If you want root and everything, someone did this awesome guide here: (who ever did that guide is awesome!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
If you just want to flash stock rom and nothing else...
Just download the latest rom:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8fn4xr6hu1mctwo/N910TUVU1ANK4_N910TTMB1ANK4_TMB.zip
and flash it using Odin (use the root guide above as reference on how to use Odin)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
If you just want to flash stock rom and nothing else...
Just download the latest rom:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8fn4xr6hu1mctwo/N910TUVU1ANK4_N910TTMB1ANK4_TMB.zip
and flash it using Odin (use the root guide above as reference on how to use Odin)

I bought a Galaxy Note 4 and the seller said it is a t-mobile phone.
He said it is unlocked and I am using this phone with AT&T.
However, I am having doubts that this is actually a t-mobile phone:
1. When I startup phone, there is no T-Mobile logo screen.
2. There are no T-Mobile apps preinstalled on the phone, except for Mobile Hotspot app.
3. I do not see Wi-Fi Calling feature in the settings list.
I am confused because of this info:
Model Number: SM-910T
Baseband Version: N910TUVU1ANIH
Build Number: N910T-RAC-CONVERSA-ITEP.2014.10.10.1645
Based on the above information, can anyone help me determine which carrier this phone belongs to? Thanks.

According to your Build Number your phone is a Tmobile phone with a Rent A Center Rom.

That means that whoever brought that phone brought that one from a Rent A Center store. Hopefully they paid the phone in full.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
I have this same phone. Got it brand new from rent a center. My theory is rac gets different model number phones then flashes a conversion rom to unlock the phone and remove carrier bloatware ect. It uses Net10 service which in my area runs off ATT towers. The carrier name on my status bar is ATT. The device status also says custom not official. My question is. ..what root method and which roms are compatible with this phone and will I still have service after I flash a rom?
Why is his missing the "N" in front of 910T ?
Mine has the N

Has anyone tried installing N950W firmware on N950U1?

I bought an unlocked US phone and was going to give it to my dad who lives in Canada (and uses rogers).
I was thinking about installing the 950W Rogers firmware to get all of the carrier-specific features like volte, wifi calling/sms, etc. Alternatively, maybe I could just install the CSC?

Not 100% sure, but the s8+, China fw was needed to unlock bl. Not sure about the s9 though. What carrier you plan on using it on?

Yep! CDMA works as well! I did a test call and even the intelligent caller ID works. Volte does not work on this firmware, but I'm sure it does on the Puerto Rico one. I'm going to wait out the OEM unlock before flashing it though.

Still waiting on root to change the CSC. I have found a Chinese forum that has successfully rooted the 9600, but I'm still waiting on the files to download.
Apparently the only way to really change a CSC (especially from a different model) is to have root and to place the files. I'm fairly certain Volte can be enabled then. It seems all of that info is in the CSC files. Still, other than Volte, everything else is working perfectly even with stock.

Does that mean there's some sort of recovery to be able to flash root? Twrp maybe? One other thing do you get band 13?Thanks for the update

No, it is a modded Odin file. After using Crom (which is required for bootloader unlock) it accepts modified Odin files via Comsey Odin. Nobody has made a twrp yet though unfortunately.
I'm sure I get band 13 as it is pretty much my only option where I live. Again though, you can't know for sure what band you're on without root as far as I know.

The file is located at: Here
You have to join the site to be able to download, but there is a workaround using a chrome extention: Here
I was finally able to download the file and everything (2.1 GB) and it definitely looks legit. You basically Odin the China rom so that you can use the Crom (bootloader unlock) app. Then just sign out of your Samsung and Google accounts, reboot into Download, Load the modded AP file and flash. It has screenshots included as well. It is apparently rooted with Magisk (Preinstalled) and there are screenshots showing Xposed working as well.
All of the instructions are in Chinese, so I just cut and paste everything into Google translate and got a rough translation. I'll try my best to upload the downloaded file to Mega or somewhere, but the only internet that I have right now is Mobile. I am not at home right now, so I can't give it a try (Plus I'm a little nervous!!! haha). So if anyone wants to give it a go, please let us know how it goes. The guy that uploaded it has been a member of that site for a long time now and has a reputation on the site. I'm guessing the site is like the Chinese version of XDA or something.

Can i flash the sm-g977b firmware onto the sm-g977n device?

Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.
Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.
Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?

I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.
I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.
Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.
Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance
