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.
I will be purchasing a Verizon prepaid service and was wondering if I go to my local best buy and buy the unlocked galaxy S6 will it work for Verizon? If it does what does that mean with the available roms,if I were to flash a rom would it still read my Verizon SIM or would I need to flash a modem or some sort prior to flashing a rom?
I recently switched my S6 from Verizon to T-Mobile. Can I flash the T-Mobile firmware on this phone?

In short no. The closest to what your thinking is like having a s7edge and instead of running your providers firmware, in your case (T-Mobile) but you got a Verizon phone, you could download and run the "unlocked firmware" for the phone. In this example it'd be SM-G935U if say you had a SM-G935R4(U.S. Cellular), I know you can also flash other providers to the s7edge like verizon to a us cellular phone. Don't think it flys with the s6 like that though.
That's what I kind of figured. Verizon has their phones extremely locked down but figured I would ask before I tried and bricked it. Thanks for the imput and help.
Has anyone successfully able to get the beta for Android 8.0 on unlock firmware?
yes ! hurry!!!!
i signed up at 355pm PST. with unlocked ATT s8+ plus (i bought the unlock code on ebay). i bought the att s8+ from samsung dot com, i dont know how to get the code from them, so i bought it on ebay.
UPDATE: try some online unlock service (instead of ebay). some give you the unlock code instantly.
How did you get it?? I have a att unlocked s8+ on stock firmware and want to use it on Verizon

you CANT use att unlocked s8+ on verizon, it only works on GSM carriers. if you want to use verizon, sell the att s8+ and get Verizon s8+
i have unlocked att s8+ when i put in Xfinity mobile simcard which uses verizon towers. my unlocked att s8+ got no signal.
Oreo is out for at&t users anyway, look in the guides section. Apply update from SD. Easy and smooth.

How to upgrade AT&T S8 G950U AQEF to Oreo?
I have ATT s8 g950u device which have AQEF(may17) fw. I have some questions that do i have to install every fw one by one by odin (i couldnt find all the fw) . Or do i have to skip all the fw and directly install CBR9(march18) by odin?
Plz answer me.
I recently received my j3 Luna pro from Walmart and checked the specs, of which seem to be the exynos.
is there a legit free way to get this unlocked so I can use it on tmobile, and if there isn't can I flash the j327t or j327u firmware onto it?
any help would be appreciated!!

Look at the Build number, specifically at the letter after J327(?) which would identify what state your device is in. The t stands for T-Mobile (GSM a global phone) the U and the W are I believe from Canada and are carrier unlocked. You should be able to call 1-800-T-mobile and they may unlock it if you will use their network.
