Sir I purchased a new unlocked S6 Edge ( 925A) at&t device from abroad to use in india.
The guy told it's fully unlocked and it support any sim card. Buy when I checked with Indian Sims I am getting only 2g signals .. I am not getting 3G and 4g signals..
When I checked for network selection mode settings it's missing in the settings.
No software OTA update is available. . I think it's also disabled.. when I checked the device status it is in "custom"..
So if I flash a stock ROM with Odin will it lock again ?
Do I need to unlock it again.. ??
First check the model from bootloader, if its actually a att variant then you can flash a stock rom too make it work as normal, but if its some other variant then get back to this thread again.
Its surely an at&t Variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.. its model number is 925A.. which is only available for ATT..
Its baseband version is G925AUCU1AOCE
I purchased this phone as fully unlocked from UAE but in india when i start to use it i came to know that its not taking 3G and 4G signals .. but 2g Signal and Data services are working fine..
I got the phone in rooted condition without any Boot animation of At&t. Since its rooted i am not getting any official updates.
I am also facing many software bugs.. from different apps..
So really want to flash the phone with a new stock rom for using it..
I have some doubts about it please clear it..
1) if i flash it with an official att stock rom will it lock again for att network ?
2) can i remove the att boot animation after flashing with stock rom ?
Sent from my SM-925A using XDA Free mobile app
Providers in India use bands 3, 40, and 41 for LTE. The AT&T S6 Edge is only compatible with band 3.
I doubt you'd be able to flash a different ROM, and even if you could, you still wouldn't have compatibility with bands 40 or 41.
Firstly Thanks for your reply.. i know that S6 Edge at&t only support Band 3 LTE cuz it's a FDD LTE supported device.. in my country here providers are using both TDD & FDD LTE bands for LTE..
In my region "Kerala" at presently all the providers are using Band 3 which is compatible will my phone. But i am not receiving any LTE and 3G signals..
My friends have different unlocked phones from T-Mobile they are not facing any problem..
I am still doubt the flashing ROM.. i am going to flash the stock rom for at&t.. it's the only official rom available for my device.
It could be an APN issue. Make sure the settings are the same as your friends are using. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Nothing Wrong with the APN.. cuz i am using 2G data without any problems.
We have same APN for all 2G ,3G & 4G..
I think its the problem with my software..
I can't switch between LTE/WCDMA/2G because that network mode selection option is disabled or not available..
I am compelled to flash a new Rom..
I don't have any other options.
I own a good phone but i can't use it . Really sad about it..
for sure people here can help you more on this

So my cousin bought me a note 5 Verizon model from U.S , the thing is I think I get "software update is temporary unavailable"issue. a quick google concluded that I need a Verizon sim to get OTA updates . I was wondering is there any way I could update it without a Verizon sim , since I could no way get a Verizon sim in the U.K
Thanks

Take your current sim out and try Samsung Smartswitch. Download the one for the PC or Mac and give it a try. If that doesn't work manually update with Odin using these files. You might be out of luck for the monthly security patches but it's not a huge deal as far as I'm concerned.

Hi all,
Just got myself a HTC One a9 from htc.com. Although I got it for a good deal of $200, it only came as a Sprint model. I am using T-Mobile. Reading some posts here and there on XDA, I did myself the following:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Rooted phone, sim unlock'd using NV-reader-writer
3. S-off'd using Sunshine
4. Changed CID to MID to that of US Unlocked/Dev
5. Flashed to either the latest 6.0.1 or 7.0 Unlocked RUU
6. Flashed Sprint's radio.img from its firmware package
7. Added T-Mobile's APN settings
And although I am getting 4G LTE and text works, calling doesn't work. Trying to call doesn't make a dial tone, and when people call me it just goes straight to Voicemail.
On 6.0.1, if I go to Settings and try to disable VoLTE, it will freeze up my call settings page. It will then say "com.android.phone is not responding", and I have no way to do anything until I pull the sim card from my phone. I have another friend with the same setup and it's also not working for her.
Anyone with T-mobile service + Sprint phone getting any luck with this?
hey guys sorry to spam if this is being posted in incorrect section.
I live in UAE. I bought used american note 4 sm-n910p unlocked network. the person who sold me this phone already had it unlocked to use GSM sim. UAE sim used to work perfectly untill i flashed lineage rom to it. lineageos is awesome i loved it everything works fine but cannot get any sim to work in lineage. it always says no service. i tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* and changed to gsm only but that was resetting as soon as i reboot so i modified build.prop ro.radio.networkmode=3 to unable GSM on boot but that shows my network name and emergency calls only. i restored my previous backup rom in which GSM sim used to work but now after restoring sim doesn't work in backedup rom too and *#*#4636#*#* is not working in my backup rom :crying:
and if i reinstalling lineageos rom *#*#4636*#*# is not taking any effects
i flashed stock sm-n910p rom from sammobile that locked the network and shows "Hands Free Activation" so i reinstalled my backup rom. in this rom network bar shows but network always shows (searching)
Please Help:crying::crying:
BTW i cam across octoplus on youtube but soon realised it needs dongle or octoplus box to unlock sim. and saw some hacked videos it says octoplus can work without any box or dongle. Is This True or just haox to download their trojan virus?
It was originally an unlocked model straight from Samsung. I flashed AT&T firmware so I could use some features. I figured this build number would receive OTA updates.
i never got ota updates on my unlocked phone. I've installed 100% at&t stock firmware.

Someone told me if I register my imie and sim number with AT&T I should start getting updates. Not only did I not get the update after giving them the info, wifi calling doesn't work anymore.

imei and sim is registered maybe that's why wifi calling never worked on mine. lol
Current stock is N950USQU5CRG7
You can dl the update.zip file HERE, copy it to your ext SD card and flash it from recovery. This WILL factory reset

Haha yes, that's exactly it. I found my old Note 7 box, grabbed the sim from that and told at&t I need to update it. Wifi calling working again.

Got an error, I'm on CRF6 currently.
oh wait so if we got the unlocked version straight from SS and if we give ATT an ATT phone, we can have wifi calling? O_O?

Do you have ATT Rom on it or it the stock Rom from Samsung?
Also, can I ask what you told them to change the IMEI?
I called and they were telling me I can't change the IMEI and that even if we do change it, it would only work on the previous phone... which seems bogus...

Was originally unlocked direct from Samsung, I flashed AT&T software.
I just flashed the update on my own, I don't know if I'll ever get OTA.
I had no problem changing IMEI. It had my old S7 edge IMEI, I used chat to change it to my current Note 8. Then quickly had them switch it to Note 7 IMEI once WIFI calling wouldn't work. They asked no questions both times. Just told them I upgraded phones and need to update my IMEI. I've never called them, just used the chat feature.

Thanks Stalker...
Now I have to decide if I want to flash ATT firmware or not...
Hate having to re-setup my phone haha.
So you just used Odin and the ATT firmware correct?
FYI I have been getting ATT OTA updates on my stock SS direct Note 8.

Yep, used Odin and the ATT firmware. I just back everything up using smart switch external storage feature and backed up my Nova Launcher settings. Only thing I don't like is I have to tweak all the settings over again.

One last question.
Did you need to give them the old SIM#?
I have info in my email before returning my Note 7 but nothing on the SIM card # and wonder if that might give me some trouble later on for wifi calling.

Cool... I am going to give them the IMEI for my old Note 7 with stock Unlocked firmware.
Just to see if that works... if not I am going to have to flash
Thanks for the info Stalker
You won't get AT&T OTA unless you're in AT&T network with MCC 310 MNC410 (Red pock GSMA has this so it can get AT&T OTA update).

Could you explain this a bit? I don't know what any of that means
You need active AT&T sim cards or AT&T MVNO (Red pockets(310 410 but not Freedompop 310 170) sim card in your phone to get AT&T software update.

My sim card is direct from AT&T. I've been using the same one since I purchased and activated the Note 7 in an AT&T store
Did you flash your phone with AT&T firmware including home CSC or just part of AT&T firmware?
You have to flash complete AT&T firmware to get AT&T OTA.

Flashed it including home CSC. Wanted everything so I could use wifi calling since that was the whole point in the first place.
