Hi folks,
I have an American T-mobile factory unlocked Galaxy note edge (SM-N915T) that I use in the UK on Three's network.
I would like to flash an official unlocked international ROM, preferably with a Marshmallow, so I get faster updates (Tmobile is very slow at this) plus no additional Tmobile's widgets and apps.
Any suggestions? I tried flashing a BTU region N915FYXXU1DPC3 via odin but got an error, I imagine it is not compatible with my phone?

I own an unlocked Samsung G920A which I actually flashed to a G920AZ (Cricket Wireless (who is owned by AT&T)). I now want to flash to T-Mobile as I want to be able to 1. get Marshmallow. Cricket may never. 2. Be able to use WiFi calling and you can only do that with the TMO image (from what I read). I downloaded the G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_G920TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar and using Odin tried, but it fails.
Is it possible to flash to the T-Mobile firmware/ROM ?
If it is impossible, then I think I would want to go to the G920A again to get Marshmallow 6.0.1, then simply pop the T-Mobile SIM in, update APN, etc. Unfortunate though as the LTE bands all work. Seems sh***y it wouldn't work to use their firmware.
Is there any way to wipe at&t and write stock bell mobility on the s7
Thanks
The model # for the Bell and AT&T models are not the same so it would not be possible to use Odin to flash a stock Bell ROM over the AT&T ROM as the process would not pass Odin's security check.
The S7 from AT&T has a locked bootloader which means unsigned AT&T software cannot be loaded onto the phone without tripping Knox.
All canadian models use the Exynos model. Bell's software wouldn't be compatible with your snapdragon version
Thanks guys
I was able to save a ton on my monthy bill by moving from AT&T to T-mobile.
The rest of the family all had iPhones so the move was relatively smooth for them.
I have a Samsung S7 Active (G891A). I have been able to get it to work on T-Mobile network,
However, there are still tons of AT&T only settings and apps and stuff still hanging around.
I am looking for advice as to what to do ...
Live with it?
Use a custom ROM? If so which?
What are ramifications of custom ROM (the phone is obviously unlocked)?
Thanks
If the active has an unlocked variant, you could flash the unlocked firmware via Odin which has no bloat.
Custom ROM's won't be an option if it's a Snapdragon/Qualcomm SoC since they have locked bootloaders.
I was only able to find S8 active firmware from the usual sites (updato & sammobile) but there was an S8 unlocked variant so there has to be an S7 unlocked variant.
Hello, I'm selling my old Galaxy S7 to a friend of mine and he plans on using Straight Talk or any GSM compatible pre-paid network. Using Straight Talk on an unlocked Galaxy S7 wasn't the best experience for me since I'd have issues reconnecting to cellular data and reliability was shaky compared to non-Sprint branded phones.
Someone suggested to flash either AT&T or unlocked firmware on my S7, but I'm not sure if it's safe to do. If so, what it is the most stable firmware?
EDIT: I tried flashing the unlocked firmware and Odin failed. Using v3.13. also got a rev check fail: fused 8 > binary 4
EDIT 2: Downloaded a newer version of the unlocked firmware, was able to flash successfully
Have an unlocked tmobile s8 active I'm using on the AT&T network that I'd like to be able to use wifi calling on cause i get lousy cell reception at my place, is it possible to flash the AT&T fireware onto the device? ive already tried using odin and the stock AT&T 8.0 android oreo firmware i found in a different thread but it fails.
