i have owned a us cellular note 3 for about a year and i got rid of that one got a verizon note 3 and got rid of that one and am going to be getting the ATT note 3 today.
i know the tmobile is the one to get if you like flashing but i was in #cyanogenmod channel and was told the ATT is 2nd best to get if you like flashing.
can anyone confirm or deny is the ATT note 3 good for flashing?
i mean can someone give me a quick run down on what can and cant be done?
from what i been researching myself in this att note 3 forum is alot of problems with flashing custom kernels and flashing the recovery or bootloader.....
basically i leave in about 2hrs for a 2hr drive to get this att note 3.
hope im not making a mistake.
i currently dont have cell service with any carrier just to throw that in there
i hope its sim unlocked like the verizon note 3 was.
The AT&T variant is no good for flashing anything other than roms that use the stock kernel. The bootloader is locked. The only means we have of flashing is using safestrap. If you're getting this phone in the hopes of flashing anything other than touchwiz based roms, then you're making a mistake.

most likely not, you have a locked bootloader
Any way to unlock the bootloader?

no devices from ATT are basically big locks
I called tmobile and ask them if they could flash my unlocked att samsung galaxy note 4 to the tmobile software. They said that they could not and i have to call samsung. I called samsung and spoke to level 2 tech support. Level 2 told me that i can go to a bestbuy store and visit the samsung shop inside of bestbuy and they can reflash the software. I ask the level 2 person again that i did not want a reflash of att software but i wanted the att software fully removed and tmobile samsung note 4 software flashed. He said again that it could be done because the att and tmobile versions of the phone are same hardware wise only thing that is different is the software. I can not say for sure of this works because i have not gone to bestbuy yet to have it done. I wanted to see first what other people here thought about what i was told. Then i would go and get it reflashed.

Doesn't work that way.
The only Note I ever seen that was crossed flash was the OG AT&T Note 1. There is a literal T-Mobile Rom for the AT&T Note 1. It even lets you use a T-Mobile sim on a sim-locked AT&T Note 1. Problem is it's buggy. and sometimes you would lose a signal, or get random freezes and reboots.
For your AT&T Note 4 to work in that fashion, they would have to make a TouchWiz rom from a stock T-Mobile Note 4 ported to work on your phone. A straight flash or even using ODIN to put the T-Mobile Note 4 Rom to your AT&T Note 4 will brick your phone. Modification would have to be made. Don't worry about the locked bootloader as with previous AT&T Samsung phones flashing TouchWiz roms can be done, you just cant flash Cyanogenmod or ASOP roms that's all.

Is not the tmobile software touchwiz based? I thought it was.

It is, but they can't completely strip your phone of the AT&T software. and dump T-Mobile on there. Someone has to create a modified ROM for it to work on your phone.
Why?? Can they not flash baseband and modem and rom to my phone without brinking the phone?

Hey, man from 2017 here.
I stumbled upon this post while I was trying to figure out what the hell I just did to my phone. I've spent the last 4 hour of my life trying to unbrick my Galaxy S7 Edge; just installing firmware after firmware hoping that it would post with Odin. Right when I was about to give up I noticed something happen on Odin that I had never seen before: a green box that said "pass!" rather than "abort!". I looked at my phone to see if it had actually made it out of this boot loop that I had been dealing with for the last four hours, and to my surprise I saw a T-Mobile logo. This stood out to me because the Galaxy S7 Edge that I own is an AT&T device. I don't have the energy to figure out who I unknowingly managed to bypass the Qualcomm Snapdragon's locked boot loader, I just wanted to share my discovery with anyone who was curious. If anyone is wondering: the device is running perfectly with no lag, I now have all the T-Mobile bloatware (lucky me), I can still connect to AT&T cell towers.
One final note that I feel like I should mention: When I initially bricked my Samsung, it was because I forgot to turn on OEM Unlock and turn off SafeBoot. It's puzzling to me how I was able to unknowingly do something that few have ever accomplished and doing so with all of Samsung's security measures still in place.
Update: Wanted to also mention that knox never got tripped however so far Samsung Pay is not useable.

I think you can cross flash with certain phones and carriers. I flashed tmobile galaxy s7 software onto my girlfriends sprint s7 and it works perfectly gets even better coverage then my tmobile note 4.The phone jst has to be unlocked by the carrier that it!
Wait.....so your saying you took full tmobile (gsm) software and flashed it to a sprint (cdma) device?....and it works perfectly?...and by flashing you don't mean swapping of motherboards?.... Common mistake I'm sure
Hello all,
I have a VZW Note 4 but on T-Mobile network. Any idea how I can go about getting 7.1.1 installed? I am currently on 6.0.1
Beuller....Beuller....??
Anyone have an idea?
Not possible. First off, Verizons version of the Note 4 has a locked bootloader so forget the idea of any custom ROMS on it. Just cause you are on T-Mobile does not make it a T-Mobile Galaxy note 4. Also 7.1.1 has not been released for the Note 4 and 99.9 percent sure it will never see an official release of the Note 4. Suggestion. Get a Note 5 or a S7 Edge. The S6 as well got 7.1.1 recently.
I want to flash tmobile rom onto Verizon Note 4 too. Seems possible now that Verizon Note 4 bootloader is unlocked, just need some gurus to show some detail steps.
This post (https://www.quora.com/I-have-a-note...t-Is-this-possible-or-will-it-brick-the-phone) mentioned something like having Verizon Note 4 kernel with T-Mobile ROM. Anyone has experience to share?
One thing Verizon does not tell you is that you are not able to get LTE bands on a Verizon phone yes they are network unlocked but you will never get anything over 3G... ditch the Verizon
Thinking of taking my Sprint Note 8 to Verizon. Anyone have any experience doing this? Any issues with the phone? Hoping it'll be a smooth transition.
Mine works fine. After a few days it pushed an update that re-branded it as Verizon. From the splash boot logo to the bloat-y Verizon apps. But it's working fine no issues at all. It sometimes can take around 10 seconds for the "dialing..." to lag before the call actually goes through, but, that's the only thing I've noticed so far.
How did you do this? Please help? I payed to have my sprint note 8 unlocked for what i thought was every carrier. Only to be told no it can only be GSM unlocked.
what revision of f/w are you guys on?
I unlocked the sprint note I have and flashed the US unlocked f/w on it, but I am still on revision 3.
I purchased a Galaxy note 8 from Verizon years ago. After being with Verizon for a year I switched to TMobile to save some money and I brought my Verizon note 8 with me. I used the note 8 on TMobile for another year then I switched back to Verizon and got the pixel 4xl. I sold my old note 8 to a friend who was using straight talk as his carrier. The TMobile boot screen still pops up and he still get messages from T-Mobile and he doesn't have data when he is talking on the phone. Is there a way to fix this? The phone is unlocked and paid off. TMobile says they don't know how to get their stuff off the phone. Any help is much appreciated.
