I realize the Note 4 just shipped and only a few people already have theirs (I am in that group - awesome phone)
Wondering if anyone has found a Sim Unlock that works with this phone? I have no patience and want to unlock so I can use the TMOBILE PHONE on my ATT Network - and none of the online sites for unlocking mention the Note 4 - so I was wondering if anyone has successfully found a site that works? or a Method that works?
Suggestions?

these guys replied to me question about unlocking t-mo note 4 when I asked them the other day, saying they should be able to do it.
I have ordered it already, i'll post back if it works out.

Thanks - l got the same kind of answer from http://www.cellfservices.com/ I used them on my S5 - but it is taking longer this time than it ever has in the past - so I got nervous and put up this thread to see what anyone else had found.
I seem to remember there was a way to unlock your Sim Card using Samsung Secret Codes - but I didn't know if that would work for the Note 4?
I am trying cellunlocker.net. They said they should be able to do it, but no unlock yet since I just put it in.

Not to be funny, but did you choose SM-N910 as the phone model? I only ask because technically the tmobile one is 910T, and I didn't see that one listed. I assume I'm just being overcautious. Can't wait to get this baby unlocked to ATT.

I selected SM-N910 and I sent them two emails telling them the model number that shows up in settings is SM-N910T. As soon as I hear one way or the other I will post here, in case you want to wait and see if some other vendor comes up with it first (or cheaper).
EDIT: I just got a note from them. They said to use model SM-N910 on the web site to order. Still no unlock yet. Patiently waiting...
Second Edit: They are having trouble getting an unlock. They are looking for a secondary source

The result of your journey will dictate whether or not I purchase through t mobile or shoot myself in the foot and buy AT$T note 4. Hang in their man I'll pray for you.

And rekman are you taking it to AT&T? If so once it's unlocked can you tell us if there are connection issues that others have reported?

What about other options? I seem to recall seeing a thread about unlocking using Samsung Secret Codes - I have searched and can't find it - not sure if anyone else has seen this -
Another possible option worth looking into --when the NOTE 3 came out - REGIONS were a problem for people who had bought phones outside of the region they wanted to use the phone in - Chain Fire created a REGION AWAY flashable fire and we discovered that Flashing the REGION AWAY from Chain Fire had the additional benefit of unlocking the sim card - that is how I unlocked my NOTE 3 - but I am not sure if REGION AWAY would work on the NOTE 4???

If there is no unlock within a couple of days, I'm canceling and returning. I cannot get a TMOB signal inside my house. Outside, I can get one bar. I am sure someone will eventually unlock it, but I am not going to suffer under their 2 year contract for crapulant service.

I went ahead and gave it a shot and unfortunatelly it did not work. I don't know if there is something Chainfire could do to make the ap more compatible with the NOte 4 or even if that would make a difference.
When I installed the ap and ran it - it seemed to work correctly - said to reboot - but on reboot it was still locked.
more suggestions are appreciated -

I first tried to do it with the TMOBILE sim in place.
when that didn't work, I tried it with the ATT sim in place.
no Go
I am sure someone is going to figure out how to unlck this phone - I have unlocked an S4 - Note 3 - S5 and while some had issues initially, they all got unlocked eventually - hopefully it will be sooner rather than later...

I dont have two of the same devices - but I do have a note 4 and an S5 right now -
When I do a speed test from my hone on the S5 (Att) I get about 8MB down - and 4 MBup (I get much faster in other parts of the city - but at my home that is pretty typical)
When I do a speed test on TMOBILE at my home - I barely get 1.5 MB up and about the same Down -
There could be a lot of reasons why Att is better for me than Tmobile - Tower location is a big one - but for me - I don't have any data issues using a TMOBILE PHONE on ATT.

If I want to activate a Nexus 6 on Verizon, do I buy the Sprint Nexus 6 or can I buy any carrier model. Thanks in advance!

any US nexus 6 is the exact same model, no matter where you buy it. the only thing is that the att version comes sim locked.
So which one is the best to buy if I want to activate it on Verizon (in terms of feasibility of bootloader unlock, rooting, etc)? Which would you recommend?

best options are google play or motorola. then the other best option would be tmobile. but if you buy it through google play, they will replace the device one time if you break your screen.
I am thinking about trading my unopened Verizon Note 4 for one. Due to the lack of ROM support and a locked bootloader/non-rootability, the note 4 is virtually worthless to me at this point.

well, the note 4 is rootable, the verizon version though might not be. i own a sgs4, verizon version, and i rooted it using towelroot. but 50% of the time, it wont boot. i get a message that its running unofficial verizon software, and to take it into a verizon.

There is a bounty for both root and bootloader on Verizon Note 4. But you are correct in that other carrier models of Note 4 are already rooted, unfortunately I have waited too long for this phone and need to move on.

Good luck, the VZW Note 4 unopened can barely fetch $600 on swappa. You'd have to settle for a used Nexus 6 I would think with current values. You might have better luck on Craigslist but it's going to be hard getting a straight trade.
It's not worth getting a carrier version N6 until you verify it's been fully bought. And I thought the N6 users on Verizon were having data issues?

Nope, works perfectly fine. Have to jump through a few hoops to get the SIM working (VZW doesn't recognize the Nexus 6 IMEI as compatible) but after that it's great. In the beginning certain ROMs weren't working natively with Verizon, then a simple text edit fixed it, and now I think it's fixed out of the box for all custom ROMs.
I have a google play store N6 running perfectly on Verizon. Had to cut down my micro sim card to nano, popped it in, unlocked bootloader and on custom ROM number 3 so far. No data issues or any operational issues at this point.

Just pop in the sim and go. Might take a few minutes to get the Verizon signal on the initial boot, but afterwards, everything should be good to go.

Yup, it was that easy. I read a ton before I made my decision. I bought the Aerb sim cutter from amazon, unboxed my GPS N6, cut my micro sim and had to sandpaper it a little bit to fit, popped it in, 5-10 minutes later I was up and running with zero issues. Happy customer, love this device!
A problem people have had is the IMEI of a device not purchased from Google, Motorola or Verizon will not be in Verizon's database if you have to activate a new SIM card. An already activated SIM will work.
Which device?
A Sprint employee told me to get the Tmobile Nexus since Sprint customers were having pretty bad issues with the nexus 6 on the sprint network. Does carrier specific Nexus 6's have better or worse service on the VZW network? I thought all the phones were the same more or less with the same hardware.

all US versions are exactly the same device. google play, tmobile, sprint, etc.. they are the exactly the same device.
I've been doing research for the past couple of days and I have seen that when the Nexus 6 came out that there were basically just 2 different models out. The International and the North American models. I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 from Verizon and I honestly can say that I just find TouchWiz ugly. I have rooted it but it was too late, the damage Verizon has done already left a huge enough impact that I am too afraid to put a rom on it in fear of the consequences. It was my first smartphone and I was happy with it when I first got it and now I am not to fond of it any longer. With the way Verizon's new plans are, I'm hoping of buying the Nexus 6 from them and slowly paying it off.
I apologize for long intro so i'll get to the point. I am curious about the differences of the Nexus 6 straight from Google and the Nexus 6 straight from the Verizon store if I buy it from them. I would prefer to buy straight from Verizon since I'm a college student and money is very tight and the slow payments seem to work out better in the long run even though I will be paying more if I buy it straight from Verizon. , but if getting the "clean" Nexus 6 is worth the better investment then i'll save up more money and pay for it all right then and there.
I've also read that there have been issues in the past where people have bought a Nexus 6 elsewhere and when they came to Verizon to activate it, that Verizon turned them away and that it wasn't possible. Is this still happening ?
Lastly, if any of you have a Nexus 6 straight from Verizon:
- How has it held up to this point ?
- What are the different things Verizon has done to the phone that weren't there in the past ?
and any other advice you can give to me to make a good purchase decision.
I just want a smartphone that I can root, put roms on, experiment with on XDA, has near-vanilla android but also works with Verizon.
I apologize for such a long post and this is my first ever thread on XDA and i'm new so I hope you may bear with me. I just want to make sure I am giving enough information to where some of you guys can help get my questions answered so I won't resent purchasing a Nexus 6 straight from Verizon if I do.
Thank you very much for reading and helping if you choose to.
P.S. I'm unsure whether to post this in the General Forum for the Nexus 6 or the Help and Troubleshooting forum of the Nexus 6 . I apologize if I posted this in the wrong forum.

I have a N6 I bought in March from Verizon and I love it. Other than the small Verizon branding on the back, and two Verizon apps pre-installed (My Verizon Mobile and Verizon Visual Voicemail), I don't believe there is anything different between it and a Google bought Nexus.

The preinstalled apps can likely be uninstalled as they were probably pulled in automatically based on your SIM card. From what I've read, the shipping firmware is the same as the Play Store/Motorola model.

That's great to hear honestly. If there is no difference other than two Verizon apps then this is officially my first choice for when I get a new device with Verizon. I'm hoping I am smart enough to root it, flash Pure Nexus and make it my own.

That's also great to hear. Definitely going to get the Nexus 6 soon then once I can get a new phone. Getting really tired of my Galaxy S4.
I just bought a new 32gb unlocked blue nexus 6 at best buy today for $350 + tax
It was the best deal I could find. I traded in some games and got the total down to $317. The phone is amazing, I came from a verizon S5 and it was well worth the purchase not to see that TouchWiz **** all over my phone
Thanks for starting this discussion. I have a GS5, and I'm fed up with the Verizon crap but it's the best network around where I live.
My question, can you root the N6 purchased from Verizon?

Service meaning repairs in case you have to send the phone in for some reason. It will work fine on Verizon. You can either activate it through Verizon and get a new SIM card or just switch an existing (already activated) nano SIM from an existing Verizon device into your new Nexus 6. Either method works fine.

$350-399 the going rate now. They on clearance for the new ones probably in November. Best Buy will match Internet price. So as long as Amazon and others have that price can just tell them and they will look it up on their PC. If you have a Verizon nano sim can just pop it in. They have the IEMIs now so they can activate for you. Shouldn't have a problem. I cut down my micro sim to fit before they would activate them.

Forgot to address your first question. There are 2 unlocks. Carrier and bootloader. Previous poster was referring to bootloader unlock. They are all carrier unlocked except for ATT. ATT requires to pay for the device in full and be active on their service for 30 days before can use another sim. Bootloader unlock is for modding. We unlock the bootloader and if need to send for warranty we put back to stock and locked.

You can use any on any carrier unless it is the ATT carrier locked. Also has to be NA version. Not International. I got Google version on Verizon. Everything works including tether on my Unlimited Data Plan.

North American. US and Canada. I looked on Swappa. They need to adjust their prices as the Market price decreases. They too high if can get new in box with full warranty for $350.

You can use any on any carrier unless it is the ATT carrier locked. Also has to be NA version. Not International. I got Google version on Verizon. Everything works including tether on my Unlimited Data Plan.

Wait, so the International one's won't work with Verizon? The one Best Buy is selling on clearance is the GSM International model. So even though its an amazing deal, It won't work with Verizon because its the International model ?

The US model is XT1103, which is what Best Buy should stock, and it will work on any US carrier. The XT1100 is the International model and would only work on AT&T/T-Mobile in the US (or any carrier that uses their network) as it doesn't have all the necessary bands for other carriers. Most places don't even carry the International model for sale in the US.

Okay, that helped clear up some questions I was having. Thank you. I guess its time to go buy that sweet Nexus 6 once I get my check. Ugh, i can't wait.
If you had to recommend a phone for a beginner who wants to root, put roms on his device and experiment with it, what would you recommend to them ?
JUst wondering if i can root my international note 5 thats on att network. Its N920G i think im ok but i need some reassuring from the bright minds of XDA. Thanks

I do not know if there is root for the G version but a rooted phone worked just fine on AT&T last time I did it. Personally I have not really found a reason to root the 5 though.

If you are in Canada have you thought about having your Note 7 sim unlocked and using T-Mobile Service. They are free in both Canada and Mexico. You should see if someone has already tried this avenue. Buying a prepaid T-Mobile sim and using it. It would not be blocked on T-Mobile's network.

That is so unfortunate. This whole ordeal is crazy. Out of all the instances there has been no definate explanion. What's even more suspicious is the fact that after the 2 recalls there have been no new reports...just doesn't add up....smh...they can go to hell, can't have mine.
I went as far as threatening Samsung in November about sending the 60% update. I told them that I would buy an iPhone 7 Plus if they did so. Well I had them blocked so they couldn't send it to me. At that time they said there were not going to do it, well at least that's what the people I spoke to thru the Samsung + app told me. I even called T-Mobile that same day threatening to sue if they intentionally bricked my phone.
I purchased an iPhone 7 Plus, and guess what, all it's good for is a hotspot for other devices I have. It can barely do simple task that my original Note did easily. Hell iPhones still can't edit letters in words, that is extremely annoying.
With that being said they will only get my Coral Blue Note 7 the day it burns, explodes, or any other manner of self-destructing...lol
Well most of the F and FD versions are usually unlocked anyway...at least my note 7 (current note 7 is a W8) and S7 were/are.
What we need is to be able to unlock the NA carriers versions...W8, T, A etc..

If you're trying to sim unlock the tmobile version of the phone, why not use the tmobile app that lets you unlock it? Device Unlock app...
I used it on mine and my phone is sim unlocked.

I don't think t-mobile will provide unlock code via app anymore for note7
Have you tried?
