Hi All!
I really want a note 5 rom. I have the att note 3. Curious, if I unlock my att to be able to be used on tmobile, will I be able to use the note 5 rom made for the tmobile note 3?
TIA
Does your phone have a locked bootloader? If it does, you cannot install a rom unless it is installable via safestrap. A lockd bootloader rules out cm and aosp based ROMs too.
How do I find out? I bet it is locked.

What rom is in the phone? If it is 4.4.2 or newer, it's locked.

I have an unlocked ATT Note 3 SM-N900A, can I flash it to the Tmobile rom? Do I need to root first? Where can I get the Tmobile rom?
thanks,
I dont think you can do that. It would not work properly.

My understanding is that you can flash other note 3 Roms, just not the Canada/Mex/international Roms. Also, with safestrap, no aroma support, so there are limitations. If you flash a vzw/spr/usc rom, there is no way of editing APN settings, however there is a flashable zip floating around loaded with gsm APN settings.

What rom do you recommend for SM-N900a to use for Tmobile?

Honestly I can't say. When I had my at&t note3 safestrapped, I only tried xnote. Since switching I've yet to flash any custom roms. I've been waiting for my white phone to arrive for an exchange so I've been patiently waiting to trip my Knox flag and have some fun.

Do not flash the stock ROM with ODIN.
You can only use custom .zip flashable ROMs.
I've read numerous people flashing the stock one with no issues

I read some one that did it and had no issues works fine
You never flash a stock ODIN ROM from a different carrier. Only custom ROMs and even some of them can lead to a brick.
Is there instructions on how to flash T-Mobile rom on AT&T N900A?
You cannot flash a T-Mobile stock ROM to an AT&T n900a as the boot loader is locked after 4.3.
It might work with SafeStrap or Flashfire but you're gonna end up with crappy cell signal and bugs galore. I wouldn't recommend it.

Is this possible to install a tmobile stock rom on the at&t note 3 or will the locked bootloader prevent this? just curious as i'm gonna be moving to tmobile for the unlimited LTE and would like to use the stock apps as well with it. Does anybody know if this is possible? I looked around a little bit and couldn't find any information on doing this.

1. This should be in the help section
2. I've flashed verizon roms on my note 3 without a problem so it's possible. All you'll have to do is update your APN settings. It can't hurt to try it, that's the point of safestrap!
Yeah I'm not rooted so was wondering if the tmobile rom via Odin would fail or not

Hi everyone,
I just recently bought a galaxy s4 active which as we all know is on the att network. Im new to att, safestrap and the s4 active ..im not new to android ive been mostly on t mobiles samsung phones and network. this is the info I have on my phone currently
Android 4.4.2

SEPF_samsung-sgh1537_4.4.2_0011

So far I rooted with towelroot and installed safestrap and made a backup of the rom thats on here already.
At this point im not sure what direction to go in? Is my bootloader locked? I know there are more current versions of firmware out there should I odin to the latest? Can we install custom kernels? I would really prefer to stay on touchwiz and would be looking for a rom somewhat stockish. So far im a little lost but im learning a little. Any help, guidance would be greatly appreciated

The bootloader on the i537 cannot be unlocked yet. Work is being looked into on the Verizon/ATT standard S4. You're on the newest firmware right now, however there was an update released today (I don't recommend flashing/installing it yet until we know how it affects us).
With the locked bootloader we cannot use custom kernels. You can however use ATT S4 rom's on it that are touchwiz and safestrap based.
I can give you more information on flashing touchwiz/safestrap (SS) rom's if you'd like, and provide links with working ones.

Soooo, here's two ROM's I know that work.
Google Edition S4 / Pure Nexus Edition
Hyperdrive 18.1
Both of those ROM's work. Follow the steps in the first posts. However, with one change. When it tells you to flash modules for your phone, use these.

Hey guys,
I am a bit confused about all that branding stuff. I live in Germany and I got my phone from "Telekom" with branding.
Is Telekom = T-Mobile Branding ? And yes I get this ·T··· Logo on Bootup.
Also if it's T-Mobile Branding is there anything specific I have to look at ? Because I want to root and unlock my phone and remove the branding.
Also I want the posssibility to switch to a custom ROM. I saw there are two sections for Galaxy S6, one normal and the other one t-mobile.
Can I also just use the ROMs and rooting methods from the the normal section or do I need to stay in the T-Mobile section ? I am really confused with
all this branding **** and the differences between the devices.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 (Bought from Telekom with Branding in Germany)
Modelnumber: SM-G920F
Android-Version: 5.1.1
Even though your device may be T-Mobile, your section is actually the normal S6 section, this is for T-Mobile USA branded devices G920T

You can't flash Roms with Odin, you need a custom recovery. You can flash firmware, kernel, modems or recovery with Odin. There are no aosp roms for the S6, they will all be based off samsung firmware

Wait ONLY TouchWiz roms are available for Samsung Galaxy S6 ?! why ?
Another thing. If I want to flash recovery on my branded phone, do I just flash a recovery or do I need to root and unlock first ?!
Also what happens with the branding and the simlock ?!
Yes only TouchWiz. Has to do with some Samsung sources being closed for their chips I believe.
Depending on what firmware, all you have to do is go into developer options, turn on OEM Unlocking, after that you can flash custom recovery.
Branding will stay the same unless you flash another rom.
Sim lock will stay the same. So if it's locked to T-Mobile it'll stay locked

It will not unlock by just flashing a debranded rom, you need another method. If you couldn't find that option in developer options then you have an older firmware and the option is not needed. I recommend you search your section for more info. There is a lot of things to learn about this device

That happened to me... I could not find the option "OEM Unlocking"
It was changed places.
Now it is in "Lock screen and segurity" -> "Unknown sources"
I do not know if it is really equivalent, but must be active if you want to install software from the same phone or sdcard.
I have an At&t Note 4 that I am using on ting, which piggybacks off of T-Mobile here in my area.
I am wondering since I cant find much of any custom roms for the at&t variant of the Note 4, if I would be able to install T-mobile Roms? Since I am on T-Mobile towers?
Thanks in advance.

Your AT&T phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader?
is there any way to get a stock at&t 5.1.1 rom on my t mobile note 4?

Oh, no, I'm not rooted or anything yet. The phone will be here in a few days.
So I take it the reason why there aren't any at&t roms, is because there is no root and unlocked bootloader? Crap!
OK, Nevermind to this thread. I just sent a return request for the at&t note 4 and I ordered a T-Mobile Note 4. Problem solved.
