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.

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.

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.

Nope, as of now there are no de-bloated firmwares available for the US versions.

I do have a G930P and I did flash it with a G930U FW which doesn´t have any company bloatware, phone works better than before, mine was unlocked since I bought it and I'm using it with a Mexico SIM with no problems.
Please check this post in the S7 AT&T section:

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.
Hey guys,
I am thinking to buy a Galaxy S6 At&t unlocked version from the local shop so there's no chance to go to the BestBuy to update the phone because they don't operate in my country and the same thing goes to Samsung, Samsung has a sales offices in my country, not the help centers. I want to know If I buy that phone, I can get the latest nougat update from At&t or If I flash the latest At&t ROM from the SamMobile, does this affect my unlocked phone? Like after flashing I can still use any carrier network?
Hope you got it what I'm trying to say.
Edit: is Smart Switch will help me to update to the latest firmware?
im 90% sure you can use any sim if its already unlocked on any other carriers firmware but i know some of the U.S variants are locked down to carrier specific

My friend owns the same phone and He can use any network sim but that was not the question. I want to know about the update, If I manually flash the firmware will it break the unlocked functionality as the model firmware are only specific for the network.
no it wont break it

Hello,
I live in France and I just bought from USA this phone : T-mobile - Galaxy S7 - SM-G930T- Android 6.0.1 - Baseband G930TUVU4APK1, to use with my european sim card.
Sorry many questions, I'm lost completely, between all the forums and different answers.
It seems even if I buy an unlock code it will not work, with T-mobile the only way to unlock is from the T-mobile device unlock app?
Do you think I can root it or flash a rom to remove all the T-mobile things and maybe I could unlock with a code?
If yes I can only install the roms of Sm-g930T I can find on sammobile website? (looks like only Tmobile firemware) or others for galaxy s7
Or what could I do to unlock my phone?
I'm looking on the forums and I tried to root it but didn't work with CFroot.
It seems more complicated with my usa version because from what I understand the bootloader is locked
Thanks a lot

If you install G930U firmware from sammobile it will still lock the SIM. I have done this with my G930T phone. T-Mobile got the patent of their SIM locking technology which they introduce in Qualcomm phone S7, S7E, S8 & S8+. It is completely different method from other carriers' locking method. Till now there is not unlocking method other than server unlock which cost you $150.
I was afraid about the server unlock, so expensive..
I was hoping if I put a firmware with nothing about Tmobile, and then maybe it will ask for a normal unlock code like on other phones and that is like 20or30$.
Thanks for your reply
