How are we supposed to flash this if this is quincyatt?

From what I understand they are cross compatible. I flashed the T-Mo stock rom onto my unlocked At&t Note since I use T-Mobile for my service which allows wifi calling.

1st post after years of lurking:
My i717 is an unlocked ATT and rooted - to run on Tmo. I wonder if the rom (bloated as it may be comparred to the ROM I'm using) will install well on my 1+yr old ATT model. I suppose only one way to tell. (crossing fingers).
Anyone tried to see if nfc beam works by default on this updated / stock rom?

It will work on either unit. I currently am using an unlocked and rooted I717 and have run successfully both T-MO and AT&T ROM's.
I just need to get one that's not stock T-Mo to get the Wifi Calling working because I need it for my new place where I get NO reception LOL.

How do I know my Note 4 is a T-Mobile phone?

I bought a Galaxy Note 4 and the seller said it is a t-mobile phone.
He said it is unlocked and I am using this phone with AT&T.
However, I am having doubts that this is actually a t-mobile phone:
1. When I startup phone, there is no T-Mobile logo screen.
2. There are no T-Mobile apps preinstalled on the phone, except for Mobile Hotspot app.
3. I do not see Wi-Fi Calling feature in the settings list.
I am confused because of this info:
Model Number: SM-910T
Baseband Version: N910TUVU1ANIH
Build Number: N910T-RAC-CONVERSA-ITEP.2014.10.10.1645
Based on the above information, can anyone help me determine which carrier this phone belongs to? Thanks.

Also I used an app to check if the phone was rooted. It says NOT ROOTED.

Boot Animation can easily be removed/changed... then unrooted...
N910TUVU1ANIH is the original rom...
then comes N910TUVU1ANJ7...
and finally the newest N910TUVU1ANK4...

Only 3 options in More Networks:

Could it possibly be hidden or something because I am using AT&T service or would it show up no matter what service is being used?

No, you don't need root in order to flash stock rom...
If you want root and everything, someone did this awesome guide here: (who ever did that guide is awesome!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733

BAD ASS NOTE 4

I have this same phone. Got it brand new from rent a center. My theory is rac gets different model number phones then flashes a conversion rom to unlock the phone and remove carrier bloatware ect. It uses Net10 service which in my area runs off ATT towers. The carrier name on my status bar is ATT. The device status also says custom not official. My question is. ..what root method and which roms are compatible with this phone and will I still have service after I flash a rom?

Why is his missing the "N" in front of 910T ?

Mine has the N

Question about fastboot flashing.

Alright guys, so I have a quick question I'm unsure about. So I bought a Nexus 6 off of the Google Play Store, and I am using it on T-Mobile. So for the wifi calling feature, I understand that I would have to have bought the device from T-Mobile themselves for the feature to be built into the OS correct? And if that's the case, is it safe to fastboot flash the T-Mobile firmware to a device bought off of Google Play? Or is that a bad idea because of a different chipset of some kind? Thanks!

Yes, you can flash the t-mobile img and get the features they offer.

Just to clarify:
All N6 are the same. What build you get in an OTA is decided based on your sim-card (if you have a T-mobile sim, you'll get the T-mobile build).
In other words, if you're using a T-mobile sim there should be no reason for you to flash an image. Unless you've been tinkering with your phone (root, custom recovery, custom kernel), then you have to use the images to update since it'll be impossible to install updates through OTA.

So it doesn't hurt to flash any of the builds that's on the Google developers site for my nexus 6? None will brick the device somehow? And also, I have a T-Mobile sim in my nexus here, but my phone still updated to LMY48M not the T-Mobile build. I have tinkered with the device, yes. It is rooted right now and I have flashed images to it before. I have flashed LMY48I earlier on and just last week flashed LMY48M. But I did an OTA update from stock LMY48I and it took me to LMY48M. Sorry if this is confusing.

Yes, it is safe to flash on any Nexus 6. North American or International. Every Rom works on Every Nexus 6. Regardless. The only difference is if you are on T-mobile or Verizon, if you want WiFi Calling or VoLTE (respectively) You'll need their specific builds.

Oh yea, it's definitely confusing haha When it comes to flashing anything Android powered, there's almost always a possibility to brick so I had to ask. Alright! Thanks guys! I'm gonna flash the T-Mobile image today because I am on T-Mobile and this phone is still on the US International image.

Unlocked S8 -> Tmobile

Hello, I'm a tmobile customer that just purchased an unlocked galaxy s8 from the Samsung website. I'm wondering if going to the store and getting the tmobile firmware on it installed is really necessary. I mainly want to do this because of the software updates, but then I thought the the unlocked version might get updates from a different source? Am I right? I'm sorry about this being such a general question, but I just want to do what's best for my new phone. Would you recommend me installing this firmware? Or should I just keep the stock unlocked firmware it came with? Are there any drawbacks associated with not installing the tmobile firmware on it?
EDIT:
To start, will Tmobile even do this in the first place? I'm totally clueless whether they offer installing their software on customer phones or not.
Thank you.

Hi there. Unfortunately, you are going to be really hard pressed to find a T-Mobile rep anywhere that could/would flash firmware w/ Odin. Not saying that there aren't some reps out their that don't know about this stuff (there are a lot that really have no clue though), but this is well outside of what most of them are trained for, plus Odin is only supposed to be used by Samsung. Also, historically (at least the last couple of years), for whatever reason Samsung's unlocked US models have been getting updates slower than the carrier versions, which really doesn't make any sense because there is less to go through to get them updated. That being said, there are several threads in the T-Mobile S8 forum here as well as the general S8 forum dedicated to carrier switching, which can guide you in turning your unlocked model into a T-Mobile model, for all intents and purposes.

The guy that replied first is really correct! T-Mobile store won't flash any phone, don't go beyond simple troubleshooting. It is easier to fly to Mars, than talk about flashing a device with rep. I do hope there are some T-Mobile reps that do really know about flashing, but I just haven't seen one yet.
I am with Unlocked S8 and use it on T-Mobile. I don't have any signal specific issues for example and features such as WiFi Calling, Band 12 and VoLTE all work well. There are few thing that flashing to T-Mobile firmware could give you:
Video calling(to specific phones only)
Advanced Messaging(believe other phone needs to support it)
DIGITS service will be built into the phone dialer.
I was also debating about doing it, but all 3 mentioned features are not wildly available and don't work across all devices and networks. On top of that you will get few T-Mobile apps pre-installed + Lookout app + T-Mobile logo when booting up the phone.
We can flash practically anytime we want, so I would suggest you to wait and see how Samsung will treat unlocked devices and how fast updates will arrive. If T-Mobile will do them much better than Samsung, then I will flash myself or when those 3 features above will work across all devices.

Sorry for reviving this thread, but my unlocked s8 gets slower upload and download speeds than my friends tmobile s8, we are both in NYC and he's getting 100mbps and I'm getting 30-40mbps. I assume they also have specific settings hardbaked in their rom that allows for optimized carrier usage?

the t mobile firmware comes with 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. which leads to better signal and faster download speeds.

Can I flash just the modem or CSC to get the benefits without flashing the whole tmobile rom?

This is a question I'd like the answer to. I'd like to keep all the Samsung default software features but get RCS, which is the most important thing, and one of the main reasons I'm still using my LG G6.

i think you'll need the whole firmware to be able to use RCS and the tmob features. i personally think the tmob firmware is better since it has 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM enabled. so better signal and service

I don't care about any of that. I value the Samsung unbranded experience more. All I want from the Tmo FW is RCS.
Alternately, if they ever support it using the unlocked S8 FW, i'll switch back to my S8 in a heartbeat. My G6 seems to get tons better battery life anyway for some reason.

Can someone provide a link to a thread for flashing the Unlocked s8 to T-Mobile?
Thanks.

I believe you have to use the "flashing unlocked firmware" because the prince's version of the ODIN will bypass the ROM checksum and let you flash any variant you want. if you use the normal ODIN and you are going from unlocked to t-mobile (950U1 to 950U) ROM it will fail.
I used to be on the unlocked but now I'm running t-mobile rom to have multi-line baked in to the native dialer. and my service provider SW ver. shows TMB/TMB/XAA
All is good and I'm happy with the ROM after few days the battery life seems the same as the unlocked version.

i just want to know if i can keep the bloatware free and just flash the modem from tmobile firmware.
i just want wifi calling, volte, 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. i dont care much for the multi line feature cause not useful on my end and idk about rcs because the person on the other end needs to have it and i dont really see it as useful.
lol s7 bloatware free firmware was so easy to flash compared to this xD
im running the att variant but im sure all the hardware is the same. so i dont see why the unlocked firmware wouldnt support this out of the box.

When I had my S7 Edge I was able to mix and match different ROM with different modem files ie I would be on the unlocked ROM with the tmobile modem and was able to use the unlocked firmware with t-mobile radios. This is what you want but I have not tried it with the my S8 you can try if it dont work use the prince's ODIN to take you back to stock.

Isn't "flashing unlocked firmware" means that you have a carrier provided phone and want to flash unlocked firmware on it?

Correct, but it also works the other way around. Anytime you want to change variant you must use the modified version of ODIN as it bypass the checksum or the flash will fail.

Still waiting on root to change the CSC. I have found a Chinese forum that has successfully rooted the 9600, but I'm still waiting on the files to download.
Apparently the only way to really change a CSC (especially from a different model) is to have root and to place the files. I'm fairly certain Volte can be enabled then. It seems all of that info is in the CSC files. Still, other than Volte, everything else is working perfectly even with stock.

Does that mean there's some sort of recovery to be able to flash root? Twrp maybe? One other thing do you get band 13?Thanks for the update

No, it is a modded Odin file. After using Crom (which is required for bootloader unlock) it accepts modified Odin files via Comsey Odin. Nobody has made a twrp yet though unfortunately.
I'm sure I get band 13 as it is pretty much my only option where I live. Again though, you can't know for sure what band you're on without root as far as I know.

The file is located at: Here
You have to join the site to be able to download, but there is a workaround using a chrome extention: Here
I was finally able to download the file and everything (2.1 GB) and it definitely looks legit. You basically Odin the China rom so that you can use the Crom (bootloader unlock) app. Then just sign out of your Samsung and Google accounts, reboot into Download, Load the modded AP file and flash. It has screenshots included as well. It is apparently rooted with Magisk (Preinstalled) and there are screenshots showing Xposed working as well.
All of the instructions are in Chinese, so I just cut and paste everything into Google translate and got a rough translation. I'll try my best to upload the downloaded file to Mega or somewhere, but the only internet that I have right now is Mobile. I am not at home right now, so I can't give it a try (Plus I'm a little nervous!!! haha). So if anyone wants to give it a go, please let us know how it goes. The guy that uploaded it has been a member of that site for a long time now and has a reputation on the site. I'm guessing the site is like the Chinese version of XDA or something.

Awesome! Just remember you have to Odin the China ROM from Sammobile. It has OEM unlock available right out the gate.
