Hello everyone i need help with my N960U ...
I have n960u at&t ... i bought it from china it was used then i have made it with factory unlocked ... then i flashed it with stock pie and it was work great without at&t logo and features then i try to insert sim card at&t that was came in the box with my n960u so everything magically converted in the phone and at&t logo started in boot up and i lost my Arabic language...
How to fix all of this?...
Try to take your SIM out and then do a factory reset from the boot menu.
Hope this helps.
If not, try to reflash generic firmware using Odin making sure your at&t SIM is out

Yes, you should be seeing a "enter code" sim lock screen. T-mobile uses a unlock app. if your phone was unlocked before on t-mobile it can be unlocked after you flash back to t-mobile firmware.(and may need to run the unlock app).
I have gone back and fort on 2 of my SM-G920T phones between t-mobile and other firmware including the metro PCS SM-G920T1 one so it should work to go back.
Sounds like you need to re-download the stock t-mobile firmware and flash in odin.

99% sure will be locked again once you go back to t-mobile as they use an app to authenticate.

If it was unlocked before on t-mobile you should be good. most you would need to do is run the t-mobile unlock app. just make sure you have a twrp backup just in case you need to go back to the rom that is working.
I bought yesterday a at&t branded Note 5(N920A). Since I live in Greece and I don't have an at&t sim, I can't receive ota updates and must flash every new version via Odin. Can I use an unbranded official rom from another model number, and which unbranded rom do you suggest to flash; Thank you very much in advance.
I don't think you can use other official roms, because the AT&T model has a locked bootloader.

Can I unlock the bootloader; Is it easy to unlock it;
I thought another solution. If I buy from ebay an at&t sim card and put it whenever a software update release for this phone, it will work right;
I recently purchased a supposedly unlocked note 9. The back of the phone reads SM-960U which appears to be the factory unlocked model. It seems to be locked to sprint because anytime I try to flash over to a Verizon firmware it is successful but still reads BST/BST/SPR in the software menus. Do I need to find a way to unlock the sim from sprint or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem, but in unlocked t-mobile. mine is now XAA/XAA/TMB. works like a charm so.......

u1 is unlocked not u.
I have a fully unlocked Samsung Note 9 (N960U model) that I was using with Ultramobile which uses T-Mobile. I popped in my Simcard and phone rebranded it's self as a T-Mobile phone which is typical. I switched carriers and now with Straight Talk and using a Verizon simcard. Phone is still showing up as T-Mobile when it reboots and even has the T-Mobile bloatware.
I went on Sammobile and flashed the Verizon firmware using Odin and that did nothing as the phone still is showing as T-Mobile. I tried flashing the Unlocked firmware (XAA) and same story, once phone reboots, still shows as being T-Mobile. I even brought it to BestBuy and had them flash the Verizon firmware to no avail....
Is it permanently locked to T-Mobile even though the phone it's self is unlocked? HELP!
When you had the T-Mobile SIM installed, did you check to see if the T-Mobile Device Unlock app was installed & if so, did you run it to check the unlock status?
I know phones don't re-lock themselves, just considering the possibilities.....
One other thing:
When using ODIN to change firmware/etc..... if you didn't before, try changing the firmware w/o the SIM Card installed.
Outside of the above, I'm out of suggestions.
I have a T-Mobile Note 9 & used to test unlocked betas of Android 9 w/o any issues.

Funny you say that, the T mobile Device unlock app did install it's self. It tells me the device is network locked (Obviously isn't since it was originally an AT&T phone) and when I click continue, the server is not responding and that would be expected since this isn't even a Tmobile branded phone! My issue is Some of the APN settings on Verizon are different than TMobile and I can't get VolLTE. Any ideas...?
Interesting, never tried Odin without Sim card...When I did flash the unlocked and Verizon firmware and phone rebooted, the phone recognized there was a different carrier sim and rebooted (It did this when I first unlocked it from AT&T and went to Tmobile) but instead of re-branding or switching to a Verizon phone, it just reboots and still stuck with T-Mobile firmware. I want to be clear also, phone works fine with the exception of MMS and VolLTE which I believe I would get back once I switch to a Verizon firmware
I know this doesn't solve the SIM Unlock issue, but, have you manually changed the APN for the SIM Card you're using?

I did, I changed it to Straight Talk Verizon APNs settings. I just don't know how T-Mobile can lock my phone....
Some of the MNVO's Sim cards don't have all the data as the man brand in my experience I would get a Verizon Sim I've had the same problem use it to do the carrier change then install your regular Sim
[/COLOR]I have a T-mobile sim card in my Unlocked Verizon note 9 and it says its locked as well but it isn't. Just change the sim card and it will work just fine. If there is tmobile software left on it you will may have to flash your firmware to get rid of it. If there is T mobile software left you will have to flash your firmware to get rid of it.
My Verizon branded Note 9 is SM N960U. How is yours unlocked?
Hi, i have a t-mobile G973U unlocked (but not the officiel way bought it locked) i flashed the G973U1 firmware on it with patched odin everything went smooth and the phone booted without t-mobile bloatware but i can't make phone calls may sim can't register on the network and in software info csc code is TMB/TMB/TMB i used G973U1UEU3DTC9 firmware with USC code
Where did i messed up ?
PS : the phone isn't blacklisted
Try doing a data factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't work then reflash the U1 firmware.

Thank you for your suggestion but i've found that it's not unlocked in a permanant way and now it's locked on T-mobile network
You will need T-mobile to unlock it then or contact the forum user on here by the name of iBowtoAndroid he has an unlocking service.
