Non T-Mobile SM-920T ?

I've just purchased a new S6 with the same model number as the T-Mobile version but it's unlocked and unbranded. Does anyone else have this phone and when do you think it may get marshmallow?

You will get the update anyday now. It would be awsome if you could get a system dump for that firmware youre running. we could reallydo some development witg that and be able to get marshmallow along with you.

I have the same phone, also purchased unlocked though Best Buy. Will we be getting a separate software update from T-Mobile? Once released, how can I get that system dump? I can see how it would be usefull for development. Haven't rooted because I don't want to trip knox and loose warranty. Impatiently waiting on the update. Didn't know if I had to wait for the T-Mobile update to roll out first.

To my knowledge our phone is just a different CSC under the G920T variant... For G920F, which is the international version, mostly European, different CSCs mean different regions and/or carriers. Likewise, for G920T, there are two CSCs: TMO (which is T-Mobile) and XAR (which is our bloatware-free version). That said, if the TMO firmware comes out first, we'll be able to flash it manually with Odin but we'll not receive OTA. The downside is that we'll have to bear with the bloatware until we flash back to the XAR Marshmallow after it's released. As for Knox, as long as we're flashing official stock firmwares from Samsung Knox won't be tripped.

Can I load 920F firmware on 920A phone?

I currently have 920A with newest OTA 7.0.
I downloaded 920F ILO 7.0 from sammobile, but it has only one file. I'm using Odin 3.12.7 and when I put the one MD5 file in the AP section (I leave the rest of the sections blank) it fails.
What am I missing? I'm wanting to use a stock unlocked firmware to remove the ATT bloatware.

It wont work cuz the firmware you are trying to flash is not for the device you are trying to flash to. att s6 has a locked boot loader and only tethered root options available last time i checked.

Is this true across the board? I also have a 920V with verizon's bloatware on it. So I won't be able to flash to an unlocked firmware like 920F to get a 'clean' OS?

idk on the 920v. i dont have one so i have not followed the forum for that device. as far as flashing a different devices firmware to a device not meant for it. its generally a bad idea. id look for answers in that devices specific page.

Doesn't this thread prove otherwise?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...m-tar-gs7e-unlocked-model-rom-update-t3412265
I realize that is for an S7 edge on Sprint network but isn't the concept the same?

its not for att. it wont work on an att s7 device. Att devices dont get love for most part. its a stock firmware from samsung that doesnt have carrier bloatware. for vzw, spr or tmo from the thread itself based off the unlocked usa model.. your device has a locked bootloader. so even finding the (6920f) firmware and flashing anything but samsung firmware for that device (6920a) is going to a. fail in odin or b. brick that phone. its your device. what you do is on you.

Possible to convert N920A to N920C?

Hello XDA!
I'd like to buy a Note 5 to use on AT&T but I'd like to have all carrier logos and bloatware removed without rooting. I found that the N920C has no carrier branding or any applications, however it has some LTE issues on AT&T.
I know this post is under the Note 5 but here's what I experienced with an S7.
I wanted to acheive the same goal on my S7 by flashing the unlocked firmware, and it worked. I installed G930U firmware on a G930A by flashing CP & BL from the A firmware and AP & CSC from U, given that they both are on the same version. (I downloaded the G930U firmware off Sammobile which said G930U AT&T, so I'm assuming it contains the AT&T modem and bootloader, since it mentions AP and CSC to be G930U). I've been using it since, and I get LTE just fine, even LTE+, though I lost a few carrier features like VoLTE and WiFi calling.
I read that the reason why this worked is because the hardware is identical across all S7s, and that the software is what enables certain radio bands. Is this true? I've always had the notion that different carriers have different hardware. I also read that the bootloader is locked. Would that be a concern while flashing official firmware? It's worked for me so I'm a bit confused.
Anyways, my main question is: will this work on a Note 5? Is it possible to buy an N920A and flash N920C AP & CSC with CP & BL from the ATT firmware? Will the modem inside the N920A designed for the AT&T frequencies be enabled while under the N920C + ATT modem & bootloader hybrid?
On the subject of hardware, if all Note 5s are the same internally, could I do this to any other carrier phone like a N920P instead of an N920A?
Apologies for the wall of text. I wanted to provide as much information as I can.

Update
I ended up buying an N920i as other users here have reported compatibility with AT&T.

Question about Verizon Note 9 on AT&T

Hi guys,
I recently switched from iPhone to Android, and I love it.
I purchased a carrier unlocked Verizon Note 9, and I'm using it on AT&T. I was wondering if flashing it to AT&T firmware would require rooting the device and would that trip Knox hence disabling Samsung pay and other features?
I have also heard that rooting Samsung phones voids warranty and I'm just trying to avoid that.....
I love the phone the way it is, but I want to use WiFi calling and other AT&T apps. I have done my research regarding whats needed to flash the firmware, but nowhere it says the method is actually "rooting" the device. I just want to double check before I flash.
Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You don't need to root it. Download the ATT firmware with the SamFirm tool, then use the patched ODIN 3.13.1 to flash it.

Well, I don't know. You have to provide more info. How is not working? At what point does it fail? What firmware did you download? How are you trying to flash it. What steps are you taking?

Can I flash a S10 G973U with G973U1 firmware please ?

Hi Folks,
I have bought a G973U samsung S10 but it is not receiving any updates and I am obliged to flash it with ODIN, I heard that I can technically flash G973U1 XAA firmware on it and it will update via OTA, is this true please ? I have the SPR firmware on it. Thanks for your help.

Depends on the carrier. ATT (I assume you're in the USA?), for example, won't do OTA updates unless the IMEI also matches (and maybe some other switches at ATT that we can't change).
XAA should update on some carriers, at least. My XAA updates on TotalWireless (VZ MVNO)... I've actually blocked them because I want to stay on A11 for now.
I believe you can upgrade via ODIN yourself without using an OTA - just be sure to use the HOME_CSC file because the non-home CSC will wipe your data. Any reason you're not doing that? This way, you can control your own updates and timing.

Hello Sofiene.Saidi, look at the official US firmware here for your model, the best thing for you is to take a model for your European region.

I bought a G973U in Switzerland and it has XAA firmware on it. I think it is an ATT unlocked device but I have never had a single Software Update.

Thanks for your anwser Schwinn, actually it is fine with ODIN but each time I need to flask aprroximately 6Gb of firmware, it is somehow risky isn't it ? Can I flash USC firmware and get OTA updates please ?

If you're in France, I don't think you'll ever get OTA updates.
No, flashing the ROM a few times over the phone's life isn't going to affect the device that much. If you did it every day, then sure... but a few flashes over the life of the phone won't make much difference. I recommend you just do the updates yourself with these files and don't worry about the OTAs, because you are unlikely to get them.
