I'm thinking to buy the note 5 dual sime sm n9208. From ebay cause i do not found the normal 64gb white version. Now my main question is if it will have updats in the future as the normal note 5 will get? Or ill have to always wait? In the other hand will it be able to install an 920 normal updats to it? Will it function as normal note 5 9r not? Tjanls for the help!!
.....???
Without realizing sprint will run on Verizon, I sold my Verizon Note 5 to buy a T-mobile one
I purchased a T-mobile Note 5 (to root) and realized Sprint Note 5 can also be rooted (and also runs on Verizon)
Did I make a mistake buying T-Mobile Note 5 if I have Verizon service and Sprint Note 5 is compatible with Verizon?
Does the T-Mobile Note 5 have any perks at all over the Sprint one? Or no, because the kernels and ROMs(possibly) will work on both devices?
If the T-mobile note 5 superior to the Sprint Note 5 in any way? or did i make a bad buy
Please answer
Hello All.
I hope this thread will help myself and others in a similar situation.
I went to extreme lengths and procured myself a N950N (SK Telekom Version) to be able to have TWRP and root and all that good stuff.
Problem was using that device on T-Mobile USA left me handicapped in terms of cell quality, LTE speeds etc.
I wasn't the only one either, a lot of folks who bought the F or N versions weren't getting the same Carrier Aggregation combinations or band\frequency usage that the US versions were accustomed to.
Should we expect the same moving forward with the Note 9 Exynos version?
If so, then the obvious inquiry will be related towards snapdragon -, it was months before samfail ever hit SD835 samsung devices, and even then it was handicapped until 10 months after release where it got slightly better.
IS the situation going to remain the same ? What are the developments on the S9\s9+ snapdragon in that aspect?
Just trying to make the right decisions as root is non negotiable for me... and i'm certain it is for many others..
and most importantly, will we have the OEM unlock issue if we buy the int'l model?

Yes of course it will.
Much better than having a locked BL and never having root, the snap s9 still has nothing and its been out since April.
OP i would look into the HK or latin America snapdragon versions, they are not locked and would likely have similar frequencies

Agreed, it's why i went with the Korean Note 8 , to avoid the unlock wait period, but then i suffered because of band incompatibility

@force70 , good to see you around these parts.
Wanna give me the resellers that would sell HK or Latin American SD versions with unlocked bootloaders?
All i know are the EU\UK Resellers & Wondamobile (not dealing with ebay again :\ )

Yeah bro, i skipped the Note 8 but will be here for the 9! How you been?
I know pda plaza will have the unlocked snap, they are already doing pre orders and have them posted. Swiftronics.ca will have them also (both sites had the S9 unlocked snap when i got my exynos).
Kinda bummed no silver or gold but the copper looks kinda cool

Has nothing to do with network unlock, you have to wait 7 days for OEM unlock to appear.
Search for more detailed info please as its readily available.

the note 8 was 15 horrible days.
I'm on the oneplus 6 right now, i'm happy with it, but as you know, being a tech-slut it's hard to keep my desires under control.

I might be wrong, but i thought i read somewhere that ALL Note 9s were going to be using the Snapdragon. Is there still going to be an Exynos version for international?

I purchased my S8, Note 8 and S9 Plus from CLOVE in the UK - (the F varient) and I NEVER had OEM Unlock issues in any of those devices. Never. I purchsed my Note 9 from CLove on the 9th - and look forward to getting it when it ships later this month.
To be honest, I don't know why some people have OEM Unlock issues for devices they buy on EBAR or other places and why I never have for the Samsung Devices I purchased at CLOVE - but it's enough that I will always buy new Samsung phones from CLOVE to help avoid having to deal with that.

I really want the snapdragon unlocked bootloader Note 9. Didn't really enjoy the exynos experience on the note 8,
Do you have link for the note 9 snapdragon unlocked?
Also, i doubt rom support will exist... or anything at all so what would be the point ? lol

That same site has the unlocked snap also! They sell both so you can pick your poison. The N9600 is the snap you want

Pretty much the question in the title.
I've got a note 3 that's dying rather quickly and has been mostly a pain.
The final price is 500 euros via carrier so the deal is massively good.
Yes / No.
Here i describe if you are going direct through Samsung and the below is taking from the UK site T&C but most likely be the same worldwide
If you have not rooted and not tripped Knox then yes if you put a stock rom back on it. If you have tripped Knox then most def No as its stated in the T&C's
Trade in terms n conditions

Shop Samsung app or Samsung's website. Select trade option then it gives you a list of phones and the rebate amount.

I'll look that up. I want to be able to root if that is ever an option but Verizon is offering a BOGO deal as well. The unlock version would be a better bet for rooting or no?
I don't see the Note 3 as a trade in option.

Lol... your not going to see root on the US snapdragons. Unlocked or carrier, BL is locked either way.
Root hasn't appeared on the S9 yet so unlikely the note will get it either.
You want root you either go exynos or the N9600 unlocked snapdragon (it should get root at least)

Hello everyone I live in Canada and I use a Koodo network (part of Telus wireless). I am Interested in trying a oneplus phone because I came from a samsung galaxy s8 and in Canada mine is boot loader locked. My s8 model # SM-G950W and it seems like many sources say its not possible to root. I am interested in a one plus 10 pro 5G (https://www.oneplus.com/ca_en/10-pro) or a newly released oneplus 10T 5G. Are either of these phones rootable? And if so, has anyone done it? Is rooting stable? Does it have many failures/bugs/errors? Can anyone confirm which oneplus device is best for rooting and is rooting partially done or fully rooted?
Many thanks!!
skip oneplus. it's not worth the hassle. buy a s22 or pixel instead

You seem to support oneplus in your signature and also, in north america s22 ultra, s22+ or s22 seems to be bootloader unlocked, alot of them are im not saying all of them but most are. Should I wait for the next pixel 7, pixel 7 pro or revert back to pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro ? Thanks for the info

Get the Motorola p90 pro.
I'd even look at the nothing phone 1 if you could get it, looks great, uses a 788 SOC I think, plus it's cheap and that glyph lighting is brilliant.
Rooting shouldn't be a problem but there won't be many if any custom ROMs.
The pixel 6 does have a couple of custom ROMs but they're far and few between the days.
I couldn't recommend a Sammy device as the bloat and weird convaluted OS is just horrific.

Dont you mean Huawei p90 pro ? I dont really care about custom ROMS, i am okay with staying at default roms. Is the nothing phone even bootloader unlockable ?

my op 10 pro and samsung tab s8 ultra are both sd 8 gen 1 and both rooted
from what region did u buy those devices from ?
Also what is the model version for your rooted oneplus 10 pro ?
