[Q] Intl Snapdragon Firmware Update on Tmo N4?

Instead of waiting on this firmware to be pushed to the Tmobile specific N4, is it possible to use the intl snapdragon firmware available on the sammobile site?
The international snapdragon variant is SM-N910F. The Tmobile variant is SM-N910T.
My battery life isn't horrendous. But its not what I was getting on my OnePlus or 6+. Before returning/waiting for Lollipop to be pushed, I just want to see if this firmware update will actually help.

Not possible to install a stock rom from a different variant. The only way you can install it, is that if you can cook it and make a custom rom out of it then install it via custom recovery(which is not yet available for tmobile)

Well damn. Thanks for the quick response though.
Guess I'll hold out for a few more days to see if it hits the Tmo variant.

Strangely enough, I have a German T-Mobile SM-N910F

I thought custom recovery was available. Don't we all have the ability to root or are developers using a different method?
Both devices are virtually identical, software being the exception.

Custom recovery is available now. Back when I posted it wasn't abaikabke.

through custom recovery prbly yes. You have to look in the custom roms section. But you cant install n910F rom through odin, it will simply fail to install

Sorry for necropost but... any differences between different variants hardware wise?
My previous phone was a Vodafone Xperia Z2, then I flashed a Generic/Unbranded Z2 rom without problems, and I even received OTA updates to the latter, like it was a Generic version. Isn't this possible on Samsung's?

sorry for bumping up a old thread but is it possible to flash this on my n910t?

Hey my man, so the note 4 is backwards compatible like the note 3 was?? I used to be able to flash an international ROM (X-NOTE, my favorite)then flash BT/NFC FIX along with a T-Mobile kernel before first boot and it worked great!

Does the SM-N9600 have a unlocked bootloader

Recently bought one with a dual sim, it is international unlocked but has the Snapdragon 845, from what I heard only exynos has a unlocked bootloader? Aloha !

That is correct from what I understand as well, I wouldn't try it and wait for someone to develop a root hack workaround

I was under the impression that the HK 9600 snapdragon was bootloader unlocked.

What region fw is on your phone? We probably will need China, or Hong Kong fw flashed, then crom will work. Then any n9600 fw can be flashed, and bl will still be unlocked. Unfortunately my n9600 still isn't here.
Edit, I forgot, after you enable developer options, you have to wait 7days for oem unlock to appear.
Or try the attached image way. Ugh, wish I had my phone.

China fw. Flash it in Odin, use crom to unlock bl, then flash whatever fw you please as long as it's for n9600.

Any luck? Once we get bl unlocked, we will need someone to work on twrp., Then root.

Question about firmware

Hi everyone, i have Note 9 t-mobile but now it's open and i use it now in the Philippines, my question is can i flash another firmware that doesn't come from t-mobile? Sorry for my bad English, see the screenshot from sammobile if that firmware is compatible with my device.

You could flash the Stock US Samsung OS onto your device, which will get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware.

Do not try crossflashing before taking a proper backup via Qfil first, just to keep u safe if things go wrong.

Then yes, you can flash the european rom, I've seen other post that they have been able to do it without any problems.
