Has anyone heard of using a comparable rooted 5.0.2 T-Mobile rom on at&t hardware or is it a locked bootloader thing preventing it? I'm unlocked on T-Mobile with at&t hardware but was wondering if it was possible.

Does anyone know if i can flash any t-mobile rom onto the att note 3? I am rooted and have safestrap !
I thought I could flash the rom onto one of the rom slots. Any advice/links is greatly appreciated
I would also like to know this, gonna help my buddy switch from att to tmobile
Unfortunately it won't work... to the detriment of everyone except AT&T executives.
Besides the n900t stuff not having the proper signatures to run on the n900a, I believe there are hardware differences, like physically removed or disabled frequency capabilities on the transceiver.
Yes! I am using this and works MUCH better on T-Mo

Make sure you pay attention to the Modificatinator file and add the T-Mobile carrier file after installation. Works fine and much better than stock ATT junk rom.
If I have the n900a from AT&T with a locked bootloader due to upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, can I still use the phone on Tmobile or am I skwooed? Will moving to tmobile allow me to use custom roms (without safestrap) again?
You will have to network unlock it to use T-Mobile.
No. It will still have locked bootloaders.
I have a N920P sprint note 5. It is unlocked and rooted....i want to know if i could install a att rom on it. Im tired of seeing that sprint splash screen and i cant get 4g on it
I have sm-n920p and flashed the darthstalker rom which has several options for device selection during the install. I installed the tmobile version with no issues besides my network not working, it even listed device info under status as sm-n920t. Mine is not network unlocked but is rooted. If yours is unlocked and rooted I wouldnt think youd have any issues as I did not installing a tmobile rom. Maybe try a rom that has several or a few device compatibility. May or may not be a issue but I would feel safer with a rom that supported a few different models rather then a rom that was specific to a device that's not mine.
I understand exactly what you mean. Hmm i may try this later on today.
It didn't work

Didn't work at all or what did you run into? The first bootup took awhile but worked for me. I was on the noble kernel before flashing in twrp and had oem unlock enabled in dev options. I did the sm-920t choice and worked. Here is official pagehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/development/rom-darthstalker-note5-version-1-aroma-t3212091
The sprint note 5 has different radio hardware than the other note 5's so to get phone calls and data to work you need to run sprint roms. Thats just the difference between CDMA radio hardware and the GSM radio hardware. ***SIM UNLOCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CELL RADIO NOT WORKING ON A NON SPRINT ROM***You can use gsm service with a sim unlocked sprint note 5 as long as you are running a sprint rom. At&t has no root or roms for the note 5 so just stick to the sprint forum and you will be fine.
Right, my data did not work once I flashed the sm-n920t version but everything else seemed ok. I tried using a tmobile sim card and could not because my phone was is not uicc unlocked. He was saying his is unlocked and was wanting to flash a att rom which shouldnt be a problem from my experience unless 920p and 920t are compatible while the att version is not. I think the note 5 is capable of most networks gsm, hspa, cdma, lte, just need the right sim and the phone unlocked.
Hi. I am new on this forum and don't know much about rooting and the requirements of such high complex stuff. But I have an ATT unlocked phone which I use on t mobile. It's lacks WiFi calling, whxih I want, and the signal is probably 1 bar lower than it should. Not to mention I can't update my software since ATT servers for the update won't communicate with my phone since I'm no longer and ATT customer and they are generally very slow with their updates
Anyway is it possible to put a international ROM, say the new marshmallow ROM, or even a T-Mobile ROM on my phone? How would one do that? I am aware of odin as I use it to update my software from time to time. Do I just get the international or T-Mobile ROM and flash it?
Thanks.
No way , at&t have a locked bootloader, ):
international..any day..dont even think abt it
Been trying to do this forever. Still no luck.
Anyway to unlock the bootloader? Would my best bet to sell the phone and just get the unlocked one?
AT&T no way , yes get the 925f
I'm afraid to try, but assumed they're both the same device. Anyone tried or can confirm?
The n900a has a locked bootloader so it is not possible.
I have the opportunity to pick up an AT&T unlocked S20FE, and was wondering if it is fully compatible with T-Mobile specifically for 5G/LTE Band 71?

The answer is, but you must flash the unlocked U1 firmware first and that will work or you can flash the T-Mobile firmware after.
You can stay on the unlocked firmware or flash the T-Mobile afterwards, no real difference. The only thing the AT&T version (flashed or not) won't give you is unlimited roaming on US Cellular. You need an actual T-Mobile branded phone for that.
