I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 off of Swappa, but when I received it, it had the damned ddi: mmc read error problem that I have read up on and found is a hardware issue. My question is if anyone know a place to buy this phone that is new or at least refurbished by Samsung. Preferably the T-Mobile Carrier version because I want to keep an unlocked bootloader. Especially looking for people who ran into the same issue and were able to find a seller with a phone that didn't have aforementioned problems. I am just really unsure about places as I really want to have the Note 4, best Samsung device IMO, and hoping someone can help.
If Gazelle sells them, I would trust them. I'm just about to send my Note 4 back to tmobile for trade in. Not sure exactly what happens to those phones. My 4 is on excellent condition so they shouldn't have to do too much.. excepting I of course tripped Knox. Not sure what they do about that.

I know for a fact that tmobile sells refurbished note 4's for 400 bones
Should be a ton of them out there somewhere, along with spare parts, considering n5 was never released in Europe.

Hi I purchased last week from swappa. So far no problems and it includes a 30 day money back guarantee... Check out the seller MyteCell LLC. If they have any problem they will let you know. Response is very quick. Hope this helps

eBay? Many trusted sellers do that. Somewhere around 300 quite a few where there, Brand New.

There are at least two T-Mobile stores in the Atlanta area selling what they say are NEW Note 4s, one had them on display, the other said they had them in the back, but they weren't on display. Call a few in your area and ask.
I would only by one recertification with a warranty!

I'm buying a note 4 today and its for sprint but its unlocked. I'm on Tmobile .
When I root and ROM it does the ROM need to be sprint ROMs or can it be Tmobile ROMs ? Or can I flash any ROM since its unlocked?

The order page currently states that the AT&T compatible version is unavailable. Does state temporarily. But has this happened before?
I mistakenly ordered a T-Mobile version but actually really think something malfunctioned in the order process since I clearly clicked the AT&T model and double checked it. The receipt stated the T-Mobile version though and I caught that too late to cancel it before it shipped.
It's going back to Google now. But I am now unable to order the AT&T model. Has this happened before? How long did it take to receive more? I'm curious because they've stated they're closing the web store and I'll be disappointed if I missed out because of a crappy mistake or technical glitch.
Edit: Post on page 2 gives confirmation that they aren't gone yet but are simply out of stock.
wow, that's interesting. its certainly new, as I ordered one thursday and got it today.
Sadly, I don't know if this has happened before though... :-/

This really bites, because I REALLY wanted to buy one today
If anyone knows anything, please do share... I sent off a message through the contact page, so I'll see if they get back to me.
It will be really hard to get one in Canada if they stop selling it...
First I heard of it being unavalible since launch. Could be because they are hashing the inventory getting froyo on shipping phones.
AFAIK google is taking down all N1's minus ones on contract, i heard that from one of the news sites a few weeks ago. Could be wrong tho.
I ordered mine Sunday evening and got it this morning; I hope they're not taking them down yet, I'm definitely enjoying this phone. Just afraid to flash ROMs and brick my phone. >.<

It is true. But they will not be taking them down yet. They said they would run the store for a long while yet, until the Nexus One is with carriers and in stores around the world. And still they said they would keep it up a while after even that happens.
Don't worry, the store is not going away for a long time.
hey OP, could you update this when you find out if this is permanent or not?
thanks

Now flashing radio or SPL. That can brick your phone.
Yea, once I get solid info I'll update the original post to reflect what I find.
I still plan to order one if they become available as a development device. Was hoping for an AT&T version so I could swap sims with my iPhone and use whichever device fit my needs for the day.
I've been looking in to this as well. My girlfriend went to purchase one this evening after trying playing with mine for a few weeks and they are unavailable. I was aware Google was going to cease selling them online, but their blog post said the would first establish a presence in third-party retail outlets, then pull them from the store. Hopefully this is just a temporary shortage or something and not the end of the at&t Nexus One.
Edit: OP, I just stumbled across the answer to this on the Google Support Forums. A Google employee responded to this question saying they would have more in stock in the next few days. I'd post a link, but I'm too new lol

Bought mine last Wendnesday $500 shipped xD.
Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!
yes yes we know all about the fakes for months. they are pretty good and not going to blow up on you.
also they are a good deal at $160 incl shipping from china.

you dont get random vibrations from it. the clone is a normal HDC manufactured 3G stock android phone with a note 4 "skin". You can root it. i've bought both a clone (910Fake off dhgate) and real (910U off ebay). they are both good.
Your clone is defective if it gives you random vibrations. Get it exchanged or replace it.

Sounds like you are describing a soft brick.
The only way I was able to recover from such thing is by performing a hard factory data reset,
yet this is usually only used as a last resort.
Hope my tip of the day (or night) helps.
I had this issue since 1st day I use this phone, I have used all 3 different firmware released by Verizon. Before I update to latest firmware. I performed factory reset and wiped all data. then install the firmware by Odin.
still phone is restating randomly, even few minutes ago.

Since you have always had this issue, I am thinking it is just an annoying bug.
I remember having a similar issue with The Droid Ultra. Nothing I did would fix it.
I brought it to Verizon and they replaced the phone no questions asked.
I suggest you do the same.
Thanks for the reply! I bought this phone off the ebay and it is UNLOCKED and I'm using UltraMobile right now.
Do you think Verizon will give me a replacement?

Ten months after I bought the Droid Ultra from Verizon the phone bricked. I brought it to one of Verizons corporate stores and they replaced it no questions asked. Eight months later it happened to me again; they replaced it no questions asked. Since your phone is still under warranty I believe they will do the same for you (especially if you let them know how upset you are).
If it's unlocked you can try, but it would depend if the ESN originated from Verizon I would imagine. They aren't obligated to warranty a phone you didn't buy from them or from a partner store on their network. Your next course of action, I would imagine, would be to send it to Samsung and be out of a phone until it's repaired (if Verizon doesn't work out for you).
Thanks for the reply from both of you! I already contact the Verizon and they said they will NOT provide support since this was purchased from a Third Party.
They suggest me to Trade the phone and get a new one. I bought it for $600 and Trade value is $510.

Sucks that they only want to do a trade-in. I am rather surprised. Losing 90 bucks through a trade-in sounds better than using a phone that doesn't work. It also sounds cheaper than paying a guy to repair any hardware or software issue.
I agree, $90 isn't a bad loss at all. I'd go for it right away before the possibility of a value drop. Best of luck and keep us posted!
Ok my 2 options are
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...%3Aaadc43d715b0a9c9732abbe7ffffe9dc%7Ciid%3A1
Excellent condition-32day money back-£176
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...%3Aaadc43d715b0a9c9732abbe7ffffe9dc%7Ciid%3A1
good condition-1 year warranty-£190(unlocked)
Which one is better guys?... Also does the first one have 1yr warranty as i read somewhere that in uk law electric goods must have 1yr warranty?
If you wish to install a custom rom, FORGET about the first one! The ATT variant's bootloader is locked and no one has figured out how to unlock it! Not sure which variant the second link is though.

I'd go with the second one if I were you... on instinct.
Just make sure it has 4G.
The Note 5 is also worth it if you can find one around the same price.
The note 7 refurbished will also be online also.
Hi, the first one is an American variant, if you are in the UK best to forget it, you need to know the model number of the second one, the best model for thre UK is the 910F. Phil

Thanks for the help guys, but i've decided to get a lenovo p2 as the note4 is quite outdated
I live in the US and the phone works - but it's a Snapdragon, not an Exynos ( so ... better?) and I'm not really sure what to think now that I see the hardware model of it.
The only noticeable differences I could find are that handwriting defaulted to Chinese and the Chinese calendar seems burned into the Samsung Calendar app.
Anything I should look out for? Should I pursue a return through Amazon?
Samsung pay?
Try hard reset then immediately sideloading Samsung Pay 2.7.03 (apk from apkmirror) and Framework 2.7.51 see if spay will work.
If you have problems with language options in general, you can factory reset and set up your languages defaults from the very beginning (on the very first page, you will have a language selector, possibly showing Korean as a default choice, type the Korean writing and choose your favorite localization; this happens on any model by Samsung). This is highly recommended if you do not trust the vendor.
As far as I can tell, the main limitation of N9500 is localization of hardware-secured features: if you plan to use the (awesome) Samsung Pay, apparently you can do so only in Hong Kong so far (with N9500). As I understand, Samsung uses/experiments a more advanced system in Hong Kong, which you will not be able to use elsewhere. I have a N9500 and I want to try to spoof the model number in build.prop to see if one can cheat the phone to have Samsung Pay work everywhere.
Snapdragon vs Exynos is a mixed bag, depending on your workload. Exynos performs slightly better, Snapdragon will offer a faster web experience. In my opinion, no noticeable difference at all. However if you:
-Have a 64GB model
-Have a write heavy workload (quite rare, for instance you do some video-editing on phone or backup GB of data TO the phone every day)
exynos will perform noticeably better in these tasks since Samsung uses different NAND on the two models. For reading workload, again the difference is not noticeable.
Also, my guess is that you got N9500 for a better price: these are usually imported models from Hong Kong or UAE, with no official support. Importers likely got a much better price than the local Samsung offer, or maybe they avoided some import taxes via shady practices. If you paid the same as the official listing in your country, you may want to ask for a replacement regardless of the hardware.
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------
Just to clear out, in the message before I meant that both the conditions (64GB AND write heavy) need to be satisfied to have an Exynos preference.
I haven't run into any actual problems yet (4 hours of use?) and I'm trying to avoid any modifications while I decide how to handle this... The whole thing seems shady, there's a promotional coupon stuck over the model number on the box. I feel like it was done intentionally for some reason.

Well if you were sold a model different than the listing description and you are worried/not happy about it, get your money back and make sure you don't lose even a penny (teaching seller a lesson in the process since a lot of this purposeful shadiness seems to be happening even when seller knows).
Don't be upset. You might have gotten the only Snapdragon variant with an unlockable bootloader out the box. If you don't mind double checking this, go to developer options and see if there's an OEM unlocking toggle. Then download Crom and run it, it should unlock your bootloader.

I don’t recall anything of the sort, but don’t hold that against me. My last Samsung device prior to the Note 8 was the S6 (which I despised). The S5 was Samsung’s last great and true user/developer/mod friendly device. Even though the design got a lot of hate, I quite liked it. It went to eight different countries with me, and never gave me grief even though I used it as an underwater camera countless times.

Hey! That’s amazing news for OP. I believe HK/CN does require that by law. I remember when the S7 was released there, it looked so sleek without the Samsung logos.

Yep it would be if it applies to Qualcomm variants and if it does it may only apply to HK/CN variants.
Maybe someone that has already had this model for 7+ days can confirm it for him.
The company I purchased it from refuses to advance-replace this with the phone I ordered and seems to expect me to pay to ship it back to them. This is probably going to turn into a dispute with Amazon, so I'm out another $900+ as I have to get into a new phone ASAP, and leave this one with zero wear.
I'm pretty convinced that I want the N950FD/S Aus, Europe & Lat edition of this phone despite living in the U.S. I don't want to suffer heavily locked bootloaders even for a Snapdragon and it seems there is more development for Exynos.
Please, though, tell me I'm wrong and that I should keep this phone that I dumped hours into configuring before catching on to the damn Chinese calendar embedded in the Samsung Calendar app :|
Damn yeah I would return it and get the exynos model you want oem unlock for sure ! I love my deep sea blue 256gb N950N its a work horse things were a pain at first but most the issues have been sorted out and its the best 1200$ i spent.

If I were you, I would keep it. I’m 92% sure TWRP will pop-up for your device in the upcoming weeks. I don’t know if Samsung has released the kernel source yet, but once they do, I’ll be more than happy to compile it for you. I remember the same thing happened with the HK/CN variant of the S7. Holding out a week to see if OEM Unlocking shows up will be worth if it does.
Dont want to start a new thread so hopefully someone can help on here.
I ordered a N950fd but have received a N9500. It's currently sat in dubai waiting for a friend to bring back to UK.
Should i stick with it or get the N950FD instead? I would like to use Samsung pay but it's not a deal breaker as dont use it that much now anyway. Is there anything else i should be worried about?
thanks

If you were at Macca's would you complain and want the right order? I know I would...
