My last Samsung phone was a note 3, 2 years ago. After that I went through some other non Samsung phones so I wanted to check if this was still the same:
I had bought it through my carrier and then downloaded and flashed the factory unlocked firmware via odin to remove carrier bloat.
Does this still work?

Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.
My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"
Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms
Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.
As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

Me too. I have flashed no carrier firmware from SamMobile (NK6). I am waiting for a custom made ROM.
I have heard Android 5.0 update at the end of this month.
note edge doesn't support 4G
My galaxy note edge doesnt support 4G network..
in mobile network only show wcdma/gsm. Wcdma only. And gsm only.
anybody know the solution ?
Ok so I bought this note 8 from Samsung. Unlocked. I'm currently running android 7.1.1 When I look at rooting it do I still look @ the AT&T version root method or do I look at another method.
Thanks in advance
I don't believe that you can use the carrier version unless your Note came from one of them. You would run the unlocked version.
Current Mods feel free to correct me if I am wrong...........LOL

Some unlocked phones weren't unlocked properly and actually Sprint models. Essential fixed this recently which caused those phones to be relocked.
Best bet is to get a hold of Sprint or wherever you bought it from. Sounds like that unlock "bug" was there for a very long time.

not sure why you're still asking a month later.
You have a different issue. Your phone is not sprint locked. Your phone is not sim locked, period.
Again, the modemst images used to unlock spr variants were dumped from openus devices.
Hey everyone,
A year ago my store changed the retail phones to the newer s9, so -after I asked my boss- I took one with me home, but it's just unusable with the factory retail mode..
Saying first this is a SM-G955X phone, do you think that I could flash the SM-G955F firmware over it to at least use it as a tablet?

Yep it is possible, but sim part still not working because there is no modem hardware inside
The solution was pretty easy at last
I needed to just flash the SM-G955F version in there, and everything works as a charm -well, nearly everything. Samsung account gives me error when I try to login-
I want to install the international rom for my FOLD2 machine, the model number is SM-F916N (korea). I want to wipe the Korean carrier apps like an international version. Please guide me. Thank you . I will donate if can help me .
Hope I didn't get your hopes up with this reply. Only want to say that I too am in this situation, except mine is from China. I'm hoping there's a way to flash or mod it so somehow get the normal international version (or US), as the galaxy store is locked to China, which cripples the phone. Here's hoping someone has figured this out...
Download the Samsung firmware for the Galazy Z Fold 2 from https://www.sammobile.com.
And flash your device using Odin

Have you actually done this or know anyone who has, or are you simply assuming it's that easy?
I have done several times for many of my devices like Note 9, A50, J7...
It is easy. You have to keep minimum 60% battery to do this
