I have a T-Mobile e5 plus Hannah. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I require another device to fix an issue with the SIM card not being detected (I have tried doing a adb reset, and factory reset). I have a chance to purchase a new Metro PCS version cheap. My question is, could I successfully perform an adb reset on the Metro with the T-Mobile stock firmware ? I need to know for sure.

I want to know if I have T-Mobile service with a rooted phone and I switch to straight talk can I still flash T-Mobile roms? If there is a thread that always explain this please point me in the right direction thanks!!!!!! I did a search not sure if I was putting it in right but couldn't find anything.
You can flash via ODIN without issues.
If the device is factory unlocked then you shouldn't have any issues using another provider , as long as it is sim-based of course, in any case you might need to look up the proper APN configuration for said service in order to get it working properly; worst case scenario any T-mobile based MVNO will work with it.
Yes, you can still flash roms via TWRP recovery, or stock .tar's via odin. I have a N910T on AT&T Cricket & still got the 5.1.1 ota before I rooted.
Is there a way to do a FULL Reset of the Note 8? Not just a Factory Reset which doesn't seem to be enough - I want to try to reset my Note 8 to how it was when it first came in the box. Removing the Region lock - CSC and whatever else is retained in the phone that is not erased when I do a factory reset.
Right now, when I do a factory reset, when the phone is booting up - it goes into a Android Update/ or system update and it essentially resets the CSC to the same settings it was before I did the Factory Reset. I am trying to circumvent that or prevent it in some way without bricking the device of course...
I am guessing that if I can do this, I can go thru a limited setup of my device and ultimately be able to do an OEM unlock in Developer Settings. This is just a guess for me right now, but that is my thoughts any way -
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Samsung support is no help at all - I contacted them and they will not help me because it is an International Variant. They gave me a number in Europe to call - tried calling, can't get thru .
Flash factory ROM with oden. Have you removed sim card?
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Samsung smart switch for PC or MAC will download and install whatever the ROM supposed came from factory.
There's probably the option in Recovery. Older Samsung phones was to hold the Power and Volume UP til it booted.
I have done quite a lot of searching and it appears that what I am trying to accomplish should be possbile but I have had no luck.
I am trying to move an SM-N960U from AT&T over to Verizon using my Verizon SIM. As far as I can tell this model is compatible on both networks, but if someone could clarify why I am having issues, I would be grateful. Here is what I have going so far:
The SM-N960U is unlocked. I can confirm this on the AT&T site as well the phone as the unlocked animation plays every time.
When I insert the Verizon SIM (which is the correct SIM format, brand new even), the phone sees the number but will not connect to the Verizon network for data/calling
I have Odined the latest stock official Verizon ROM onto the phone, but this changes nothing for some reason. The AT&T software still persists after I install all of updated Verizon files through Odin (The AP, BL, CP, userdata etc). The install is always a success, and shows the loading bar etc, but nothing changes. It's as if nothing is installed.
I have used both regular Odin and the custom 3B Odin
I have factory reset the phone after the install as well, but the AT&T ROM remains.
I am out of ideas on how to get the phone to work on Verizon. Does anyone have an other ideas or see something I missed? Or is it just not possible?
thanks for any help
Hello,
I have an SM-N950U from TMB which was purchased direct from Samsung when it was just launched after the whole debacle of the Note 7.
Phone has been working fine on TMB this whole time. Today I switched to VZW and attempting to have the phone unlocked.
I tried to use the Device Unlock app on the phone, with no luck. It fails when I try to Permanently Unlock the phone.
I called TMB for assistance, they said that the manager has tried to process it manually and has been unable to do so after multiple attempts. Escalated to higher support who got on the phone and said she's unable to help and does not know why it is not working. Said she will be escalating to a higher support group, but as of yet, nothing from anyone.
Is there any way of unlocking this phone without TMB?
I've attempted to flash VZW via ODIN, both U and U1, with no luck. I also tried the U1 XAA and still the same thing, I get a message "Network locked SIM card inserted".
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a total loss and want to continue using this phone as I've been, just with VZW now.
Side note, maybe it's failing because the phone is already unlocked, just doesnt work with VZW? Not sure if thats a possibility, but is there any way to check to see if the phone is in fact unlocked or not?
I received a free Samsung S6 Edge from some friends. The phone had a busted battery which I fixed. The phone is still on the original 5.1.1 that the phone was released with.
When I try to do updates it says DM initialization not ready. Check network or SIM card. When I received the phone I was told it doesn't work with cell service. I checked to make sure and it definitely doesn't. There are no options for cell service in settings or the drop-down menu. This phone is missing IMEI numbers, IMEISV numbers, and baseband versions too. The only way I found out the IMEI number was it was printed on the back of the phone.
I am fairly certain the problems are software-based and not the motherboard but I don't know enough about phones to be sure. Do you guys know? I also want to remove AT&T from the phone to install a custom ROM on the device. (There is no OEM unlock in the developer options) Can I flash SM-925F firmware on the device to make it factory unlocked or will this brick the device? Will flashing the original SM-925A firmware fix the problems with the device? Please let me know if you need any more information to answer my question.
I found this: //G925A\\ Nougat 7.0.1 Latest Stock ATT Odin files G925AUCS7ERC1 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com) Should I flash this on my device? Will it fix any of the problems I had on it?
Can I flash the SM-925F firmware? Is the hardware of the factory unlocked phone and AT&T versions the same or will it brick this phone if I flash it?
Since the phone is AT&T you'll have to go through AT&T for the unlock codes before you can flash anything other than an AT&T ROM. To my knowledge there are no custom ROMS for the S6 Edge, but I could be mistaken.

I know this phone is old news however, I actually have the S6 and S7 edge lying around and so i got bored lol...here is my dilemma; Evidently the phone (S6 Edge G925A) had an abnormal factory reset, which is a load of BS, and now I can not get that security detail, which you know calling Samsung always ends to NO AVAIL!! I have flashed with Odin the firmware that my device is on the ERC1 firmware and still I get stuck @abnormal reset. I've searched numerous sites, different forums and still to no avail. Something told me inside that you was the man to drop a line to, any leads or info will be more than appreciated brother...Thanks for your time....
PSSS....
I got my unlock code from AT&T some time ago but the code is 16 digits long and code only takes 8 digits, and of course to hear AT&T tell it, " I simply must not putting the code in correctly"...lmao
