What is the unlocked G920T?

Best Buy sells an unlocked version of the G920T - http://goo.gl/bk4ukE
It's not T-Mobile. It's unlocked and has no carrier bloat - just the usual Samsung stuff. It shows "4G" for LTE. (Edit: Correction - after the OTA referenced below, it shows H+ and LTE)
It came with 5.1.1 out of the box, build ending in COG3.
It had a 272mb software update immediately available that took it up to the build ending in COK1 and added the Android Security Patch Level line showing 2015-11-01.
Just curious how this model fits into the other unlocked models (f, i, etc.). Did Samsung simply take the T-Mobile model and sell a variant unlocked with no T-Mobile influence?

Sorry to bump this but I'm seeing a few more of these in the wild now and trying to figure it out. It's gotta have the same internals as the T-Mobile variant since the model number is the same, I'm assuming anyway? The full model is SM-G920TZKAX, but the packaging and phone just shorten it to T. The T-Mobile model is SM-G920TZDATMB. I guess knowing what the letters after G920T mean would be helpful.

From what I've read it appears to be a unlocked version of the T-Mobile variant. Can't find much information about it.
I purchased the unlocked version from Best Buy yesterday for $450. Rooted it and could not be happier.

What method did you use? I'm concerned about doing any mods due to not having the right software to flash back to (which we don't have right?).

I used the follow root method:

As for going back to stock, you can always use smart switch, or ODIN back to stock rom.

It's been so long on a Samsung device... no idea what smart switch is. Need to do some reading to get caught up. Thx

Smart Switch replaced Samsung Kies, which replaced Odin. Welcome

I just bought this yesterday as an open box for $380. I was worried that is wouldn't have LTE band 17 for AT&T as the normal 920T is listed as missing this band. The Best Buy version does have band 17 and I'm connected on it now. Very happy with the phone so far.

you can also see the specs for the phone on Samsung's website. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920TZKAXAR
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900),B3(1800),B4 (AWS),B5(850),B7(2600),B12(700),B17(700),B20(800)

Firmware?
Love the phone with no carrier bloatware, would have preferred 64GB but I can make due. I would like to root it but not without having factory firmware to fall back on. Even though it's a 920T it's has no T-Mobile apps so I'm pretty sure I can't load a T-Mobile ROM on it. If anyone runs across formware for a SM-G920TZKAXAR PLEASE let us know. TIA

Does this work with Samsung Pay?
Has anyone tried getting this to work with Samsung Pay? I saw on a Slickdeals thread that it will not work ... would love confirmation.
Also, and I know this is a very, very slight chance anyone will know this, but -- will this work with my old, granfathered T-Zones data plan?

Yes. You can load T-Mobile firmware onto it. You just get all the TMobile extra stuff. Thats the same "unlocked" model sold by Rent A Center.

I dot think will start up, there is a tutorial in XDA developers about installing a kernel so you can flash roms made for other models of Note5 and did not work for me..
So so far we are stuck with sprint original firmware and OMR rom which i think is the only rom available for Note 5 SM-N920P

Sorry to bring you bad news but what you trying to do isn't possible,

I'm on the same boat and am really upset that Samsung makes things harder
every year and this time around CSC is totally different now.
Please let me know if you find any good news.

Switch to the canadian model and you'll have everything but root, i'm sure theres plenty of people that will do a straight swap.

download the rogers firmware from sammobile and join batstock rom telegram support channel. The OP can help you out. All you have to do is upload a file from the download there and he'll add the csc to a flashable twrp zip that you can install to fully enable all rogers features.

I got bad news for you. VOLTE and Wifi calling only works on android phones that has been bought from Rogers. I have the unlocked version from Samsung.ca and it still didn't work.
Correction: The only unlocked phones that work on Rogers VOLTE and Wifi-Calling are the iPhones.

i see.
next thing you want to try, make sure your build.prop product name matches that of the rogers phone.
also, my carrier disables feature if it detects root such as wifi calling. if you have magisk hide and an app for wifi calling uou may want to try hiding those apps from root.

I already called Rogers tech and VOLTE and WIFI Calling don't work on Android phones that was not from Rogers. No matter what you do, its the IMEI number that triggers their system to enable it on their end.
Unfortunately all carriers including Bell, Telus, Fido, Virgin and Freedom Mobile do this.

if it trully is incompatible, it is more likely to do with the difference between th band availability between the international model and canadian model... a quick google search will allow you to compare band availvility between phones and what bands are used for the carrier.
i don't believe it though, that just makes it hardee for them to aquire clients with existing handsets.

Any chance you can upload just userdata if you haven't? I have the BRJ5 files from tmobile. So it would be less to download.

Then either you can choose to use the home_csc and wipe, or not use any csc, and keep your data. I typically just leave it blank to be honest when I want to keep data.

Yes and no. WiFi Calling and all of the bloat will be there and it will work as long as AT&T doesn't realize you are using a device you didn't purchase from them. Once they realize you didn't buy your device from them, they will disable your line from using WiFi Calling.

I'm not sure. I was never an AT&T customer.
After giving my girlfriend my S9 Plus and her fighting with AT&T over the WiFi Calling b/s, because they would keep disabling it on her after switching back to her S5 Active to get it re-enabled. I finally got her to switch over to T-Mobile.

I can't complain about the service I have had with T-Mobile. In Virginia, it is better than most other providers. Blacksburg now has band 71 deployment and Hampton has pretty good band 12 service. In upstate New York and Canada, I haven't had any complaints either. Going up and down the east coast earlier this year, I didn't have any complaints, even after traveling through West Virginia. Obviously, other areas may vary.
On AT&T though, my girlfriend had no service in her Hampton apartment, no service inside of NASA Langley, and no service at her parents home in Itmann, WV. However, on T-Mobile, she at least has good service at home and at work now, including inside of the buildings.

Well I flashed this ATT on my unlocked 650U1 and nothing ATT showed up, not even boot logo. It showed the correct model as G965U and version BRJ5. Loaded everything in odin. Any suggestions?

The latest for the G955U is DRL7.
The ZSAB update is for the G955U1.
You will need to flash over to the G955U1 CL2 firmware in order to get to ZSAB. You will lose wifi calling and voice over LTE if you do so. (on AT&T)

No, AT&T requires its users to be on their branded phones. T-mobile is a lot more lenient when it comes to phones.
