I picked up my Note 9 from Rent A Center, it said "duos" on the box. It says sm-n9600, build number ends in hu1arg6. I'm asking because the way rent a center has their phones configured, set up is kinda weird and I may want to root, etc. So I want to make sure I don't have compatibility issues. One thing I did was run a program that shows it has a sd845. Not sure how accurate that program was, forgot the name.

1) On your phone,go to SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE. That should tell you everything you need to know. Go ahead & explore the sub-settings there (Status/Software Information).
2) D/L the apps Phone Info & AIDA 64 for more detailed information for your device:

Thank you. First app let force closing but the second one basically just said codename crown, n9600, sd845. So I don't need to worry about compatibility issues as long as ROMs etc are for a 9600, even with it being dual SIM and all that? Or are they all basically dual SIM?

I can't be sure,but,I believe so.
As for compatible ROMs,I think there's currently 1-2 for the SM-N9600,check w/the developers for info on single/Dual SIM compatibility.

Thank you for all the assistance
You have the HK/Latin america snap version, your bootloader can be unlocked!
There isnt as much development for this version typically as on the exynos but at least your not stuck with a crappy device thats locked down tighter than a drum.
Yo, I have a note 9 from rent a center as well and was hoping to get a little help here.
I have the N9600 ending in JHDF
I do believe that its unlocked but rent a center did a few modifications that I can't gain access to developer options. I did find a way in by stopping the set up process and get into developer options but I couldnt turn on usb debugging which is where I am.
How can I get into that to root? Can I flash the original N9600 to see if I can remove rent a center setup? Or can I straight up flash twrp and root from there? I probably have to flash some other file but I'm unsure. Any kind of help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's probably restricted in some way due to the terms of agreement they offer when you buy the phone from them. If it's paid off they should be able to remove it for you.

From what I understand, they do a rent-to-own. Not sure why they have 9600s? I would have assumed they would use N960U.

My guess is they probably buy those because they are more easily able to install their tracking and lock-down software on it. They probably have the bootloader unlocked, a custom rom with their software installed, and then re-lock it all.
There was a fella on the note 8 forums a while back with similar questions with a renta center device.

Yup. They use the 9600. And if you pay it off in 6 months, then the phone costs $1,871. But if you use the full 78 weeks to pay it off, then it costs $3,119. That's insane.
My concern would be the original owner would stop making their weekly RAC payments, and you get locked out of your Note 9. I believe that's what happened to the guy in the Note 8 forums.
I would assume that the prices from RAC are different depending on the region because in California right now the 6 month buy out cost us 1400 and at the long term is about 1900 which us still extremely high but some people have very bad credit or no credit at all and have to resort to something like this. The only other reason I did get us is because it has an unlocked bootloader and will be able to root it and start moding it to my preference etc. But I will have to wait till I pay it off now. I was hoping someone had already found a way around RAC type of lockdown.
Oh my god... How do they convince people to pay over three times the price for this phone?

I can go on about credit, interest rates and over pricing for a smartphone, you dont know what I need this smartphone and its definitely not not all for pleasure.

Its noobs who think that if you unlock the bootloader you'll void your warranty... YOU WONT... HTC will still replace the phone if there is a reason to that is the phones fault and not one of your own. Don't let the noobs scare you into thinking other wise.

There are 2 ways of modifying your phone.
1) Root it. You get the benefits of being able to run apps that require root but don't have to unlock the bootloader.
2) Unlock it. Unlocking it lets you run different ROMs. Something other than the stock android. Example, Cyanogen Mod. It's a modified custom build of android with lots of nifty things. But it might void your warranty by Unlocking it.
I'd suggest just going with ROOTing it. It's easier, less fuss, less to worry about and it doesn't void the warranty.

Are you on skype?
I got it from Negri Electronics and it IS unlocked already but NOT rooted.
I need to root it to get this font size program installed 'cause my eyesight sucks. That's really the main reason.
Yeah, I like nifty things too and I hate being tied down by locked stuff and so on so I'd like to open it and do whatever I want with it.
As for the warranty, I understood from Negri that HTC/Google covered the warranty and I THINK, that I could buy insurance through t mobile but checking on that.
Also, for those of you who are interested, Negri also sells t mobile contracts/by month contracts or whatever you call it.

NOpe, no skype and I don't have microphones on my computer anyway but I'll be happy to call pretty much anywhere.
If it's international, it's dirt cheap through google phone/voice
For those who haven't tried it, go to google.com/voice but before you do, ask me for a few pointers first. Bitc*in' service from Google and it's free.

It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..

Would you be happier if someone here just guided you through it step by step? There are some awesome devs here who I'm sure would be happy to try and help and Gove you steps along the way. Also, there are some very well written guides on here that you can follow, asking questions here along the way and get some info if you are stuck
So if you would be happy doing it that way, we can guide you through it here!
Make sure you have a working laptop and a good USB cable, using 2.0 ports and preferably Windows 7, with working/up to date drivers and adb files
Well 2 problems. I've read the tutorials, watched the videos, and am still not confident lol. The main concern is getting s-off. The other issue is I only have a macbook working at the moment. That's why I figured I'd give in and have someone do it for me. Its not worth risking IMO, I'd rather pay someone with the expertise to do it.
I genuinely appreciate the offer however! I just don't have the confidence. Sometimes things just seem beyond skill level, and you have to swallow your pride lol
I have no problem guiding you over the phone or skype! It is a piece of cake ! If you read the tutorial and just scared to brick your phone, i dont think itll happen! Done it to 5 HTCs!

FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5.

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Did you delete the other post that I quoted you on? I tried loading it and it just said "fetching page" forever.
None of my PM's are going through. Would you please message me so I can provide you with the name and number.
Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Hey everyone!
So I did not realize how much attention this would get. SO, in an effort to help out everyone but keep this a little more low key PM me your phone number and last name! All of this info will be sent to the user for the unlock to go through.
This is both to benefit those with the Tmo variant of the device and keep the user responsible a little more safe and secure. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and ask away!

My pms aren't going through

Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.
just did mine, literally look an hour.
Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
having trouble figuring out how to do a frp bypass using odin can someone please help me out!
Hey, ODIN is only for Samsung Devices. Not a Pixel..
Android phone's also cant bypass FRP, unless there is an SD card slot on the phone...

Why do you need to bypass FRP? It's used to prevent theft of your device so why would you even want that?

Perhaps OP bought a pixel second hand and the phone was shipped via carrier instead of in person? That's nothing unreasonable.

Then go back to the seller and either get a refund or have them remove their account, no?

What if the seller ghosted OP? Have you heard about scams? Although, if @shawnbro4 believes he/she was sold a stolen device, go to the police. They'll go after the seller hopefully.
There are ways to bypass FRP on a Pixel, but I feel like it violates forum rules by providing such information.

No, police can't do anything unfortunately. This type of thing happens thousands of times every single day, all over the world. In the US at least, it's considered a civil matter - not criminal. They'll take down a report if you insist on filing one, but they can't - and won't - get involved

Uhhhh, "(model) FRP bypass" seems like a great place to start

I know that Samsung built this phone for Google, but it's not a Samsung phone and you cant use Odin to update firmware or anything else. Feel free to try, if you dumb enough.

I couldn't care less about "odid".
But you directly contradicted yourself with the rest.

You are right. I hve not had to think about bypassing frp since my old Galaxy s8, the process is now a little vague.
After reasearching, It is much easier to do now.
You can absolutely bypass FRP. Using Wifi and Google Assistant, you can reset the phone via settings to bypass. Worked on my Google Locked Verizon Google Pixel 4a 5g.
