No problem...just a simple question - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently ordered a “new” (ha, ha) Note Edge (AT&T unlocked, SM-N915A) as a gift. I'm planning on letting it automatically seach for an update over the AT&T servers through Net10.
So...Is this worth doing? Or will the update be buggy and I should just leave it running KitKat?
BTW, the friend is my wife so I would appreciate any advice to keep me from screwing this thing up.
Or, after looking closer at this forum, should I just flash the 5.1 from sammobile and be done with it?

Samsung's update should be higher than 5.1.
With that said, I would leave it on KitKat.
The phone's hardware was designed to use it and anything above that involves a lot of bloatware, in my experience.

This being the case, where could I find the Kitkat firmware download? I know there is a thread filled with the firmwares but what is the file name for it?

I believe in your original post you said the phone was already running KitKat.

I'm pretty sure bootloader is locked up pretty tight, so rooting it will be like rooting AT&T note 4 no root as of yet.
I too will be eagerly waiting for root. I can live without changing ROMs/kernels but until I got the Edge I never really knew how much I needed root for everyday things.
Yes, Please I am also looking for a root to the AT&T Note Edge N915A.
Also I hear the new OS lollipop is coming to the Note 4 & edge around the first of 2015.
I'm looking for a root for the AT&T note edge as well.
+1 hell I'll throw down some money to the person/persons that get us root.

It may be worth pledging for root (just note that it has to work for ATT note edge in your comment) in this thread. I assume if it worked for the note 4 it will work for us
It says Verizon in the title but the thread is for both ATT and Verizon variants.
(If there is an ATT specific thread for bounty please link it)

I'm willing to put in $100 towards getting this rooted.
.I bought mine as an AT&T and not even knew it it said T Mobile in the ad it takes my tmobile Sims but its the AT&T version so its locked up I guess but hasn't it been unlocked to put T Mobile on it that's what I don't understand. anyways I still have my note 3 and its rude if I love it I use everyday I spent $800 on the edge and I want it rooted bad I'll put $100 towards getting it rooted if we can figure out a way
Does anybody know how to get a pledge going let's get up let's going for the AT&T note edge please I need root I can't grow without roots
I'm really suprised that no one has made a root for this version of the note edge.
They already have root for the note 4 and edge for AT&T and Verizon. It's supposed to be released soon. Go look in the note 4 thread

SM-N915A Android is Upgrading
Sorry to change the subject, im all for root as well. Just need some advice. At&t variant seems to be the only one without any support for the firmware, Im going through hell trying to get mine out of a boot loop! It says android is upgrading, optimizing apps, and only goes to 102 sometimes. it says 267 apps and shuts off at 30, 40 50 and 102 is the closest it got. It keeps re booting and staying in the same cycle. Ive searched high and low through every site and forum for a fix. The down side is I am not a At&t account holder so they wont help with any support. I bought it off of craigslist to use it with straight talk and it worked great for about a month and then this update for lollipop and now stuck!!! Can anyone advise?
where is an official rom
where is an officil rom of sm-n915a and how can i unlock the wifi to see others wifi but at t?

The issue is AT&T says we will buy it if you lock it to us so we can keep our customers and make it more of a chore to leave our company. Samsung says ok because we want the sales and that's why it's done... Samsung can care less once they sell you the phone what you do with it and they already built ways to know what you did to the phone for warranty returns. (So they can deny the claims that are caused by you not listening.)
If you want to get mad at anyone get mad at AT&T just like verizon they play every trick in the book.
That's why if you buy a phone full price you always go international version

I have heard of that happening from people that buy online but I don't know much about them I believe someone in one of the threads (that was an at&t or samsung source) said they were at&t branded internationals (meaning they were to be sold through at&t for corporate or maybe coverage outside the US?, though I don't know much more because I only stay up to date on the US versions
If you just bought it you might want to check your buying source (example amazon will give you a new phone if you buy the international that's meant to be used with several carriers), if you have owned it for awhile then you're in the same boat as the rest of us.
I don't think the bootloader will ever be unlocked unless..
A law requires them too...
Someone finally finds a exploit (which because less likely as more people switch to newer phones)
They have a security leak like Sony where the key is discovered.

Or at the very least stop the store worker from updating it when you first activate it. When I bought mine she took it out of the box, turned it on and immediately accepted the update notification and installed it after it downloaded when she put the screen protector on..
@Apoplectic1
You should have made her give you different one. I do not and will not allow a store clerk to setup or mess with a phone I'm buying. :good:

I would have had I known that AT&T locked their bootloaders. This is the first phone that I have owned that had one, and until I tried to mess around with it I had no idea that one could lock a bootloader.
Sadly, I won't be able to get the Lollipop update unless I want my phone locked down forever because I am one of the few people that is still on the MDL firmware which can use the LOKI bootloader bypass to boot custom ROMs.

Viral phone need to flash stock firmware

My girlfriend bought a S7 off craigslist which she was told was for T-Mobile.
It kinda works but is very slow and she gets these random popups with half naked chicks, and you cannot close them until you click on them it takes you to a webpage that never works and then you can back out of it.
I ran virus software and factory reset multiple times. the virus software will keep the pop ups at bay for about half a day.
As a last resort I am going to reflash back to stock with Odin.
In my search to find the stock firmware looks like the software on it is European or something.
Should I try to flash the USA firmware? What version should i flash?
That's NOT the T-Mobile version, that's the international version. T-Mobile's is the 930T, not F.
Keep in mind that that model will not get wifi calling or VoLTE on T-Mobile, nor access their extended range band (LTE band 12) for voice calling, which could potentially be pretty bad depending on your location. You also have no warranty whatsoever in the US.
Your about device should look like this. Also download "Genuine Galaxy-Phone Info" from the play store. It looks like you got a clone.
Thanks for the replies.
First things first i want to fix the virus issue. Should i just flash back the firmware version it has?

A clone has different hardware, flashing something from Sammobile which is believed to be the correct version could hard brick your device. Flash anything at your own risk.

How do i know its a clone with that app? It says its a Galaxy SM-G930F
Well dude, sorry about your luck. That is definitely a clone aka fake galaxy S7. A real galaxy 7 has 4 gb of ram, not 500mb and definitely not a 32bit Mediatek processor which is why is so slow. Also your device has a modified version of lollipop android, a real one come with marshmallow out the box.
-edit-
The "F" model should have a Xynos 8890 Processor in it, not a Qualcomm like mine.
I even went a step further you you . Here is the firmware page!!! Good luck, your on your own from here.

Wow that sucks. How much you pay

complete android noob, looking to flash and root oneplus 6

hey guys,
im looking at buying a Oneplus 6, i started searching the forum on how to flash the phone to a 'global rom' (i think thats what its called) but i cant seem to find a straight forward answer. it could be the terminology but i just want to make the phone work in australia and also root the phone.
when i look up the ROM guides theres a bunch of weird stuff ive never heard before
i come from an iphone background. ever since the iphone came out ive been jailbreaking, it was all pretty straight forward for me and easy. so im not a complete computer illiterate. i think theres something im not understanding with the names of the guides.
i just want to make sure its easy to flash the rom to work in australia and root the phone before i buy it.
do i even need to flash it or does it come ready to use in english??
also do any future updates etc affect the flash and i have to redo it?
i hate asking the newbie questions but i really couldnt find the answer!
thanks in advance

I got my phone from Kogan and works fine in Australia. It is the A60003 version with OOS. i know there is another version A6000 Which has a few less radio bands that I'm pretty sure only USA uses. Also there is a Chinese version with hydrogen OS. Root is easy just follow the guides of flashing twrp and magisk. Unless your thinking of getting the Chinese version that come with hydrogen OS your good to go. Future updates have to reflash twrp and magisk but it's easy to do.
I know a few people in AUS that have the OnePlus 6 from the US website and its the same A6003 version. Where are you thinking of buying the phone?

Looks like the A6000. Just make sure it has all the band's Australia uses. Pretty sure they still come out with OOS which is the international ROM. I see what your saying, some say A6000 and some say I ternational spec. Maybe send them an email? Just make sure you look into it before buying.

Unless the software is specifically designed for a particular device, like a ROM or kernel, rooted apps will work on the OnePlus 6. That covers just about anything you'd likely want to use. So apps you'd find on the Play Store, along with the non-phone specific ones on XDA with root required features or that require root will be as fine on the rooted OP6 as they would be on a Pixel, Nexus, or whatever other rooted device.

(Revised 3/2/21)
If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!

Welcome to our humble, yet well informed niche!

I read Samsung already started rolling out out this update at the beginning of the week(2/15)
to include this handset. I'm TMB and that's a
no-go (so far) and Sprint hasn't rolled it out either.
Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

Yeah...what's up with that samsung? You shoot the new update to our traded-in or sold devices first, after we spent more money with you to be last on the update list again?! wtf...
having 986U, T-mobile unlocked from the included app, I already received the update UI 3.1 here in Africa where I am with my job. The SIM card /carrier is Africell.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.
Finally got mine today. I am with AT&T

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
Got it today. U1 XAA running on visible.

Are you based in USA, and if so which carrier do you have wireless service with?

Yes, Texas and not impressed with it. Much ado about nothing!
