Anyway to do carrier swith with snapdragon model?

Hello, does anybody know how to do a carrier switch with snapdragon like Samsung galaxy S8?
There is a how to in the S8 sub forum. Wonder if it is done the same way. Anybody tried?

We will need eng kernel before that happens. I'm sure it will be doable in the future, not now though.
Edit.....looks like note 8 could be different than the s8...

So if I flash AT&T firmware on Tmobile Note 8, it should work fine on AT&T since there's no Tmobile Unlock App in it? Right?
Just bought a Tmobile Note 8 and am trying to make it run on AT&T

Yes...if you look into the s8+ forum for carrier switch there is a guide that should also work for note 8...the main focus is to change the csc...however, you may just be able to flash the ATT firmware and it work when you put in the ATT SIM. It may be better to flash the unlocked firmware first...and then to att...but to get the device to be csc ATT, instead of ATT, ATT, TMB, You may have to follow the S8+ guide...
So try the easiest first, flash ATT...If activation does not work, flash Unlocked then ATT, if that is no good...follow the S8+ guide with Canadian firmware to change csc code of device to ATT...you might pm the op of the S8+ guide about what Canadian firmware to flash to change the csc...I am going to make a guide for us when I have a chance to test it myself...if just flashing to AT&T works...awesome, good luck
Oh yeah...the device must be unlocked first to change carriers...you can get it unlocked by T mobile or by paying for it

Sprint Note 8 on T-Mobile

Can I flash a T-Mobile Rom to my Sprint Note 8 with Odin? I currently have it unlocked and working on T-Mobile but it keeps trying to configure the network which is draining my battery. It also doesn't get VoLTE.
Anyone have experience doing this? If I can't do a T-Mobile ROM, can I flash an unlocked ROM to get it to stop the network configuration and get VoLTE back?
Thanks in advance!

cj.lyon21 I'm in the exact same situation, and I'm wondering what you decided and how it worked out? Did you flash T-mobile, or did you flash Unlocked on your Sprint phone. Thanks!! Hope to avoid pitfalls.

Check out the carrier switching threads. Not only is there a detailed step by step guide on how to accomplish this, but people also talk about how it worked. HINT: If you flash the TMo formware, it will be exactly like buying a TMo branded Note 8.
And speaking as someone with T-Mobile, there's really not much difference between the T-Mo firmware and the unlocked U1 firmware. TMo doesn't really add much bloat. Just the TMo boot animation and some apps you can uninstall. You gain RCS calls with TMo, but lose the U1 spam filter. WiFi calling and VoLTE still work with the U1 firmware.

Can i flash the sm-g977b firmware onto the sm-g977n device?

Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.

Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Hi, did he unlock the phone or was it factory unlocked already?

Was already factory unlocked. I didn't have to insert Telstra SIM to activate it.

Thanks. Is this the exynos or Snapdragon version? I'm planning to buy the 256gb version and use in India. So wanted to check before I ask my sister to buy.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.

Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.
Thanks

Use all the files in the KOO firmware including the userdata.

Before I attempt this, Will this trigger knox? Void Warranty ? Will I be able to have OTA later on?
Thanks

I have done it several times but it seems to fail. Nothing will be triggered.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.

I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.

Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.

Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance

I have a T-Mobile Note 9 SM-N960U. Can I flash it to AT&T to use on Cricket?

I want to take my T-mobile unlocked Note 9 to Cricket. Can I flash the firmware to AT&T before doing so in order to take full advantage of the AT&T bands?

^^^^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^^^^^
but so far, everyone has neglected to mention that it required a modified version of Odin to allow for cross carrier firmwares to be flashed. I had to do the same with my S9 when i wanted to flash the U1 (unbranded) firmware on the S9 i got from cricket

Correct, but that's typically something the person wanting to do the process of flashing firmware on a $1k phone should research or ask about here on xda. As much as I love helping to provide information, it is best for the user that is wanting to undergo the process better educate themselves on what they are about to tackle.
If it had the likelyhood of causing a brick, I would definitely tell them straight away. But other than that, we all get a nice sense of accomplishment when we do flashing that we weren't too sure about. At least I do.?

Looking for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Official Stock AT&T Rom for my unlocked phone

I bought a Note 9 from Amazon I thought it was an official AT&T phone but it is the unlocked version. My unlocked version does not support a number of AT&T's features I would like to have access too. I have read how to flash the Rom and I know how to do it. I downloaded a Rom which I thought was the AT&T stock rom but it was actually the same Rom I had the unlocked version. So when I flashed it it was the same as before. I think it is possible it flash the phone so that it is like I bought it from AT&T. I have seen people do this on youtube with their Galaxy note 10's. I am unable to find the Official Stock Rom or maybe I have and am unsure if it is the official one. So if anyone knows where I can get the dang official Rom so I can flash my unlocked phone and turn it into an official AT&T phone that would really help me. Thank you very much.
My Model Number is
SM-N96OU1
My Baseband Version is
N96OU1UEU4DTC7
My build number is
QPA.190711.020.N96OU1UEU4DTC7

Will this one work on my phone?

in fact that DID answer your question.
in sammobile, you could find your "carrier" rom version as you want, which is U, not U1 (unlock version).
then use samfirm or frija to download the rom with max speed.

So If I want to flash it too the official AT&T I should look for SM-N96OU instead of SM-N96OU1, correct? I am nervous about bricking the phone. I have read that the AT&T version and the unlocked phones are exactly the same they just have different firmware. Is this true?

I'm looking to convert my SM-N960U1 (unlocked) to the AT&T version as well. I'm seeing the following as the lastest firmware I should be downloading to convert to AT&T. Can anyone verify this because the N960U does not have AT&T firmware available?
...firmware/SM-N960U1/ATT/download/N960U1UEU4DTC7/335086/

All the U firmware is the same. If you have At&t sim you can flash any Note 9 U firmware and it will provision to your sim. If you are coming from U1 you will need to do a factory wipe. Was your device purchased as unlocked or was it U?....
Oops never mind I see its unlocked.

For some reason i feel that Sammobile its more about selling firmware software to buyers of samsung instead of helping people take the best out of their phones. Some of use pay over the 1000 dollar for a phone and dont get easy help while samsung should atleast give us the freedom to get the firmwares for our devices for free. Sam mobile has ablot of information on their website,but ofcourse nothing for free. Even signing up their websites is an issue,and to get support thats another issue. So i most say Sam mobile its all about selling Samsung software,while you and me who buy the phones,not sammobile! Resell it back to us. Seriously its discrimination in my eyes. Maybe am wrong, but thats how i feel about. Now i dont know what business relation sammobile has with samsung,but i know the founder is not a. Chinese, but a Holland guy. Thank u.
