Hi, I would like to buy an unlocked (carrier/region) Note Edge. Can some one suggest the variant I should buy that will work with AT&T 4g/LTE bands in USA.
SM-N915F
SM-N915G
SM-N915T
Etc?
I don't think that is possible, as each countries have different band. That's why most international/factory unlocked phones don't have 4g/Lte capability. 3g and some lte is the most you are going to get with an international SM-N915F
Best bet would be to buy out an Att phone, and request them to unlock it so you have the 4g/Lte in the states.
I believe its a 30day period or so when the account is open before they give you the code. I know t-mobile policy is 3-4 weeks.

go with the 915T (tmobile)
tmobile edge is the only one that has an unlocked bootloader (you can flash any rom, etc that is made for the EDGE)
the ATT, Verison, Sprint, etc are bootloader locked, and you cant unlock them as far as i know
Tmobile one, once its unlocked, thats it,, a world of possibilities in your hands.
Thanks. But why not SM-N915F the european or SM-N915G Asian version? are you saying those are also boot loader locked?

I am an att customer currently in Kuwait and I purchased the 915F because the LTE does crossover to them. I looked at the LTE bands and 2 out of 3 of them are the same. You just need to ensure you put the correct apn in.
I hope this helps.
The Note edge 915G will work with ATT LTE/4G
I have that model on Tmobile 4G LTE and it works fine. Since the update they took out the Lte icon and replaced it with 4G. But when you check the status menu it says LTE connection Type.
Is there a root for the Verizon note edge? If there isnt ...could I use a different model number with Verizon,and if so which one could I use. I would like to be able to root and bootloader unlock. Thanks

The only root for Verizon Note Edge is with the developer edition. And no you can not use any other Note Edge variant on Verizon.

Question - I have an unlocked SM-N915T that I'm going to use with AT&T. To get Lollipop should I use Samung Kies or will it OTA ?

To get the AT&T lollipop update on a tmobile phone you will need to use Kies or Odin 3 to flash it as it won't recognize the tmobile Sim when attempting to look up AT&T servers for the update.

I have the Rogers SM-N915W8 that works perfectly on AT&T LTE.
Hey guys i got a galaxy s5 from sprint, there's a domestic unlock on ebay, but it requires the phone to be on 4.4.1, i was wondering if there was a way to downgrade to 4.4.1 so i can unlock it?
thanks
I wouldn't trust a domestic unlock from eBay. If it were possible, it'd be here if anywhere... But all you'd need to do is install the stock tar. I'm not sure where it'd be, I like the newest version possible
Here's 4.4.2 I don't think there is/was a 4.4.1 for the gs5

I dont think there was either. Mine came Out of the Box 4.4.2 then updated to 4.4.4 then 5.0 now

Were you able to domestic unlock your Sprint S5? Please advise me. Thanks.

ive domestically unlocked 2 of them. @stifilz does them on here for donations or idoneapps does them for $35. I unlocked mine via idoneapps, and they both worked like a charm
I ordered a SM-N915T unlocked and looking to get Lollipop OTA and want to know what my best option is.
AT&T is my carrier.
I saw someone said they bought a SM-N915G and they said out of the box it was ready for OTA for Lollipop but didn't state what carrier.
I want to make sure that I am getting 4G LTE but without the bloat ware.
Should I send it back and go with a SM-N915G or another model ?
Appreciate your help !
So I followed the instructions here and was able to get my phone working on At&t network. But I have a question about the upgrade. I was just sent Lollipop. Do I even bother doing it? Will it stop my phone from working on At&t network since it was a sprint phone. Im new to alot of this.
Hey guys so i got the verizon s8+ and i was wondering if i flashed
Galaxy S8+ SM-G955U 07.06.2017 7.0 USA (T-Mobile) (TMB) G955USQU1AQEF
Galaxy S8+ SM-G955U 01.05.2017 7.0 USA (T-Mobile) (TMB) G955USQU1AQDE
would i be able to get WIFI CALLING, HD CALLING, BAND 12 working by just flashing this? i dont care about bloatware.
I saw a thread about switching to carriers however you need ENGBOOT, FACTORY BINARY, 955W firmware and stock and modified odin.
however the issues with this is i dont understand what this engboot and factory binary are and why i would need them. I also do not know where to get those and the stock odin.
Can anybody help?
