Firmware question. Run n920w8 firmware on a sprint n920p - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys quick question can I run any Canadian firmware for my note 5. I've got a sprint n920p note 5 that i purchased as a refurb and I'm looking to run fido Canadian firmware so I can get access to all my fido options. Is it possible to run Canadian firmware for the note 5 on the American sprint n920p note 5.
Thank you
Jeff

Can a N920SK (SK-Telecom, S Korea) be flashed with N920C (International) FW?

I've been looking high and low for an answer to this question before posting this. I bought a 64gb N920S Note 5 version because it handles both the 800mhz and 1800mhz LTE bands that my UK carrier Three uses. I'd love to get rid of the SK-Telecom ROM customisations though. I understand that the N920C also covers these 2 LTE bands so would I be able to use my N920SK Note 5 on the Three network running N920C FW??

Definitely NOT the kernel
Thanks for the reply. I did try flashing the latest N920C stock FW (Turkey) via odin but it failed immediately. Is this due to the kernel then? Do I therefore need to flash a custom recovery then USE that to flash a different kernel before attempting to flash the N920C fw again?

Would flashing TWRP recovery using this to flash arter97 kernal alllow me to then flash Turkey N920CXXU2AOK6O onto my N920S?

Anyone?
Just bumping this.
Does anyone know a way that I can flash my N920S with N920C stock firmware but NOT the N920C Kernal ?
I'm guessing the Odin flash is failing because the 920C Kernal is incompatible with the N920S?

Is root possible? Note 4 N910A AT&T 6.0.1 Marshmallow Build: MMBM29M.N910AUCU2EPK1

Is root possible? Note 4 N910A AT&T 6.0.1 Marshmallow Build: MMBM29M.N910AUCU2EPK1
I've had my Note 4 for about 2 years, and have been patiently waiting for a root to be possible on it. Can anyone tell me what the latest word is on this? I love my Note 4, but am ready to consider any and all options to get a rooted AT&T phone. I'd be willing to downgrade the firmware, or purchase a different version of Note 4 which is rootable, and is unlocked for AT&T. Please advise!

Its a dream that never became true to root AT&T note 4.
I suggest you swap with T-mobile note 4 because AT&T sim works just fine with T-mobile note 4 including 4g LTE.
And of course T-mobile note 4 is very easy to root and there are dozens of custom roms available.

Flashing Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - G955W (Canadian) to a G950U1 Note 8

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and could not find a clear answer, and am hoping someone can help.
I just purchased a US Samsung Note 8 (SM-950U1), my question is, is it possible for me to install the G955W (Canadian) firmware on this device?
For Canadian users is anyone currently using a US Note 8 (SM-950U1) Factory unlocked?
Thanks.
Made a typo I meant can I flash SM-N950W Canadian firmware to a SM-950U1 Factory unlocked Note 8
Thanks,

not yet, North American models are all Snapdragon with locked bootloaders. If someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you could get a flashable zip version of a Canadian ROM and use that but as far as I've seen nobody has been able to do much with the Snapdragon variants yet.
I have been reading the s8 plus thread where users have flashed the s8 plus Canadian (sm-g955w) firmware to the Us s8 plus (sm-g955u) is it not the same process?
Thanks for your help

If you follow the s8 + guide...if available it would be the same for u...I am working on a guide for carrier switching but it is for U.S. snapdragon models...but it uses the Canadian XAC home_csc...I say pm the poster of the s8+ that you mentioned for details and then flash at your own risk....you can always flash back to your original....before you do, though, insert your Canadian carrier SIM and see if you can activate it...when I was testing the carrier switch there were options to change to Canadian csc's....good luck
Any update? I also bought my note 8 from USA. With the US firmware, we do not have access to certain features like VOLTE or caller ID and spam protection.
Check out blue fox's thread. I just flashed US firmware on a Canadian unlocked XAA device(not sim locked to Rodgers, bell etc). long as your flashing stock Samsung firmware, youll be fine. The Canadian and US Note 8 phones are basically the same.

Flashing firmware on USA unlocked device with a twist.

Can I flash the T-Mobile firmware on my unlocked note 9 snapdragon? I believe I can. The reason I'm saying this is because I had a note 8 on T-Mobile working well on Sprint before. It was originally a t mobile device that I had unlocked. when putting in the Sprint sim card the device auto configured itself. Will the same thing happen if I flash the T-Mobile rom and use my sprint sim?

Possibly. The note 8 and 9 are similar in that it is really only 1 US model and just the firmware changes. Basically with a US snapdragon you can flash any official firmware from a carrier and it should work fine, the only difference being something unique to the note 8 tmo rom that did something special when you put it on sprint. Also , because this way of flashing really isn't rooting or anything, you would have nothing to lose and could always flash back.

Would like to know if anyone with the U1 device flashed to a carrier specific firmware and got their other features back like RCS and video calling functionality?

Rooting a Galaxy 9 SM-N960U (AT&T)

I have a Galaxy Note 9 that was originally an AT&T Phone in USA. I purchased it unlocked in Canada and I use it on Fido Network. The Baseband version is N960USQU1CSAA. It is running One UI 1.0 and Android 9. Is there any way to root this phone? Do I have to use same baseband version?
