I am looking for the unlocked firmware for the galaxy note 9 bought us cellular by mistake from Samsung luckily it’s a unlocked phone but need want unlocked firmware

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I used to have AT&T as a carrier for the phone, now I do not have a carrier. I want to unlock my phone and preferably not pay for it I tried the method outlined at android and me and several other site, ( it involves using the number *#197328640#)
I was unable to use this method because I could not find a UMTS menu.
The only other way I found to unlock the phone was to root it. I wanted to use Odin and CF Auto Root to do but I could not find a version for my device, (Samsung-SM-N900A).
Do you guys have any suggestions for me?
Sir,

Im in the same place need to Root At&t galaxy note 3 5.0 N900a where can I find the files
You can only network unlock the phone with a code.
As far as I know, all of the note series is carrier unlocked. if it's not, you have to call your respective carrier and ask them to unlock it. Rooting your phone is another story. I just got off live chat with Samsung and they can't remove the bootloader lock on my OC2 N900a. This will prevent me from buying any other samsung product in the future, not even considering the note 7 b.s.
The n900a is an at&t phone and pretty much every at&t phone is carrier and bootloader locked. Same goes for sprint and Verizon.
Didn't realize oc2 also had the n900a as I thought the U.K. And Europe had the n9005.
Most of the note phones sold by a carrier are network locked.
I use AT&T and at the time I bought my Note 4, AT&T variant was not rooted (i have no clue if it ever was), do you think the same will happen this time around with the Note 5? Purchase the T-Mobile variant and unlock it for AT&T?

Nope, still locked tighter than a drum a year later. The closest anyone has gotten is temporary root but it is lost/crashes the phone as soon as the write protection finds it.
My advice is to wait for verification that the bootloader is unlocked on the tmo variant like it was on the Note 4. If it is, then you are good to go, for the life of the phone with nothing to worry about.
ATT Note History:
Note 5: ????
Note 4: Still no permanent root.
Note 3: Took 6 months after release for root. No AOSP. Locked bootloader.
Note 2: Unlocked bootloader
Note 1: Unlocked bootloader
Tmobile Note History:
Note 5: ????
Note 4: Unlocked bootloader
Note 3: Unlocked bootloader
Note 2: Unlocked bootloader
Note 1: Unlocked bootloader
Hello all,
Super confused by my newly purchased amazon renewed note 8. I was under the impression I was buying a refurbished unlocked device, but upon powerup I get the ATT logo. My previous device was an unlocked Note 8 (I destroyed the screen) which I was running on ATT, but I never had anything other than the Samsung logos on boot up, this phone is loaded with ATT apps and stuff, it basically looks like a carrier phone.
My question is what exactly is this franken phone:
From About Phone:
Model Number: SM-N950U
Baseband Version: N950USQU5ARF1
Android Version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience: 9.0
Build number: R16NW.N950USQS5RID
My desire is to get this as close to a stock unlocked Note 8 like I had, or some other debloated rom. What are my options, or how should I treat this device? Just like an unlocked Note 8 or an ATT Note 8?
This is the snapdragon version too correct?
While we're at it, anybody want to suggest a lightweight/good battery rom for this device?
Thank you so much, I've never had trouble doing root/roms but this phone is confusing, heck even getting adb working kicked my ass for a few hours.
Thanks
So my note 9 has been unlocked finally. I was curious can I load the stock "Stock" rom from samsung or am I still stuck with Sprint's stock rom? Will it trip knox? To put it simply I want to remove sprints branding as much as possible.
Thank You,
Bubona
Hi I just wanted to ask if I can flash a SM-N960U firmware on my Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960U1) Device so maybe I can unlock my bootloader and flash a Custom ROM.
and if I can just unlock the bootloader without flashing a different firmware because I don't see the OEM unlock option.
US Samsung phones have been bootloader locked since the S7. U and U1 models are both bootloader locked.
