Anyone know if you can flash the China Mobile firmware on the T-Mobile hardware? I have a friend in China I'm giving my phone and I'm wondering if this would be the easiest way for her to use it.
I could just leave the T-Mobile firmware on it, but I don't know how all that stuff there works since they don't do Google.

I was wondering if anyone knows if we can flash stock T-Mobile onto the AT&T G925A? Main reason I am trying to figure this out is for WIFI calling.
Maybe if its possible to odin the tmobile stock rom and the odin the at&t kernel?
WiFi calling only works on tmobile branded phones far as I know
thanks for the commenting..
can I flash Canadian firmware (SM-N920W8) on a SM-N920T from t-mobile?
I find it hard to believe nobody can answer this question.
I am with Rogers but purchased the phone outright as a refurb and would like to take advantage of their wifi calling but cannot with t-mobile firmware
How about changing the CSC and if that is possible, how to do?
guess not huh?
I'd love to get an answer to this question. I bought a Note 5 that was originally TMobile and now I'm using it in Canada on freedom mobile. The phone was working great until a few weeks ago when I tried to remove the root that was on it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I've tried to flash the N920W8 firmware from Canada but it fails... the backof the device says N920W8.. but when it connects to twrp it says its a N920T.
Guess I should try the 920T firmware with odin... ?

Did you wipe system?
i would like an answer as well. have a note 5 bought here in Canada that was branded tmobile. but unlocked. tried flashing a rom and have had nothing but problems with imei/csc/service with sim card ever since. flashed stock n920t firmware 3 times with 3 different up-to-date firmware files and it hasn't fixed the issue. oddly enough i found out the number on the phones back is actually n920v so it's been rebranded once already. apparently because all phone info and twrp say it's n920t . will flashing Verizon firmware fix this? also if it's already been done once why can't i make the system n920w8 instead of n920t? how was it done than? or can i flash international rom ? really need to get service/imei/baseband/csc in working order. i can't afford a new phone .... so many questions...
I've been thinking about buying a Note 9 from my operator, Telenor (Norway), but don't want their build of the firmware... I remember on older samsung devices, swapping that used to be as easy as to flash another image through Odin, and it didn't trip knox or anything... Is that still the case with the N9? ?
Ya, pretty much but let someone chime in that has that phone. I moved my s9+ from one us carrier to another. Just had to find the right firmware to flash.
Yes thats easy for you as you have any exynos device, you can flash any 960F firmware.
My device is from singapore bit i just flashed a newer build from taiwan In odin last night.
Im trying to change my sprint note 9 into tmobile carrier to get the most out of my device. Its unlocked using it with tmobile but just wanted to get the full potential. Ive read on the forums ive used odin before but want to know if i have to first flash tmobile or sprint ui then flash tmobile u. I understand i have to used the patched odin. But do i need to flash sprint or tmobile ui or just go straight to tmobile u.
You shouldn't have to install the T-Mobile version of the Note 9's OS just to get the most out of your T-Mobile Plan. As the T-Mobile version of the Note OS just has additional T-Mobile Bloatware. If you are having issue receiving the VoLTE reception on your device then I would suggest you speak with a T-Mobile Representative, who would be able to assist you in getting that feature on your device.

I'm guessing you're still on Oreo, otherwise it would've just automatically switched to the T-Mobile firmware.
There's a thread here with the T-Mobile firmware (N960USQU1CSB3). Flash it with patched ODIN.

Well the thing was it was a sprint note 9 and when i made a call it would switch to 3g. It wasn't tmobile it was just the fact that i needed to flash firmware u to get the tmobile radios. I ended up flashing sm-n960u1 no bloatware and now i get hd calliing, full signal, better downloads and uploads. So far so good only thing i was in android pie so i kinda downgraded to oreo i have a ota update security patch but not sure if it will mess up my phone.

Glad that it all worked out for you. I am surprised that the unlocked OS worked so well on a Sprint device as in the past Cell Provider Branded devices had hardware restrictions so that they could only be use on their network.

Yeah me too. I was a bit skeptical about it at first so i started doing sum research and found out about flashing firmware. Ended it up buying it and flashed the firmware and so far everything is good. Only thing i downloaded the oreo u1 idk if they have pie. But using sammobile to download firmware was just slow on my wifi.

I was actually in android pie with sprint software and it didnt change boot logo. Still showed sprint well eithery way i downgraded to oreo u1 the downloaded tmobile u1 android pie and got everything working better. No more bloatware or boot logo which is fine. Now i get full signal outside, wifi calling, and hd calling works perfect. Better downloads and uploads too on lte.

That's really weird. Pie has BYOD firmware which automatically does the carrier switching for you. Not sure why it didn't work for you when you put your T-Mo SIM in it.
I had a note 8 from verizon before i got the note 9 and on the 8 it switched from verizon boot to tmobile. Idk maybe just sprint doesnt have that. Another thing when i had the 8 i used it with metropcs even though its under tmobile network no metro boot logo but as soon as i put the tmobile tmobile bloatware downloaded automatically.
Help

How did you do the flash, I am in the same situation. I need to flash my unlocked Note 9 to ATT firmware so I can use the HD features. Please share me a link to steps.

The thing about at&t is that they have a strict policy about hd calling i believe so the only way to get their hd calling and wifi calling is purchase a at&t note 9. Unless u wanna try flashing it with odin patched i used on mine. Dont have a note anymore but their is allot of post on odin flashing u can look up. Do ur research cant stess that enough
I bought an S10+ from Amazon renewed and they sent me a SM-G975F, which is on Claro mobile. I've never heard of it and I don't even think its from the US, but it works fine. I just wanted to flash the phone to Tmobile or unlocked so it can get updates from Tmobile. I'm completely new to this and I looked up how to do it and got completely lost. I found a guide on how to use Odin and Prince cosmy but it still didn't work. I've been through all the guides I could find but nothing seems to work. Could someone help guide me on how to do it correctly? I'd even be willing to venmo someone $10 if it works.
Well you're in the S10 forum, not the S10+ forum. Anyway, you can't flash G975U firmware (which is t-mobile in this case) to a G975F phone. You might can flash the International Samsung firmware using the patched version of Odin, but I'm not 100% on that.
