Like the question the asks, I have a rooted TMO G3 running custom roms and looking at moving over to ATT and trying to see if I need to ditch the root and custom roms and go back to stock condition before sim unlocking. I have posted same question my TMO G3 forum. Any and all help is appreciated.

You shouldn't have to you. My att D850 is sim unlocked and used on TMO. I still have to use ATT roms.
All you do is shut off the phone, put in a sim from another carrier and boot up. You should then get prompted to enter the unlocked code and walla.

thanks for the reply but since I have a t-mobile G3 and been running root and custom roms since the very first days, I am a little wary about doing this for going to ATT
I rec'd a SM-G920W8 model from my cousin. Its on Fido but I have a Rogers SIM card. I would like to simply unlock the phone and use it on Rogers instead and if possible, update the phone to a newer ROM/Android version but to have it still on Rogers after the fact. The phone has following details:
Android Version: 5.1.1 (stock)
Baseband: G920W8VLU3BOJ7
Im sure there are a guides for this on here, I did find one for a bootloader unlock from Mr. X on here, but I wasnt sure which bootloader file to download and thought I would ask if someone could please point me to the right direction as I simply dont want to brick a phone.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated by this newbie!
Thanks!
Are you sure it needs to be unlocked? Telus and Koodo phones as well as Bell and Virgin work on either network without unlocking.

You are right!
I just did what you suggested and its working now. I didnt think this was possible as the last Fido phone I had I had to unlock it.
Thanks for the suggestion! Much appreciated. I guess if I wanted to now just install a new ROM or update the Android platform on it, I can do that.
Yes. I'm running stock nougat on mine. It still receives updates ota without issue despite being a telus phone on koodo. I can root it and install a custom Rom anytime but it works fine and I don't want to wipe it right now. Too much important data. Online dating and texting several different girls I need to keep all my texts for future reference lol.
i am too on the quest to find a way to unlock this dang bootloader. I am curious as to if anyone has successfully swapped out their complete phone with carrier and everything to another carrier. We all know we can swap rom with TMO but couldn't we just transfer out the whole internal software with that of TMO and would it be able to be rooted like all others through ODIN? Or would it still be locked down by the .com.carrierconfig that ATT has signed to the phone? This forum is so dead it's unbearable. It seems as if all has lost hope with AT&T s8+. If anyone knows about the question above please answer. Thank you in advance

AT&T, it's stuck on the May security patch.
I had an att s6+ before and used it oversea. I never got any ota updates. Only hope is Odin. You may want to att s8 forum to confirm.
Looks like it is my only hope. What exactly is Odin and do I flash a carrier one or a stock one. Then if I do the stock one do I get normal updates.
Possible for anyone to link me to a guide on how to flash this unlocked AT&T s8+ to a factory unlocked one or a Three-UK one? Also by doing this will over the air updates start working.
I think att locked the bootloader so no you can not flash other carriers rom. Sorry.
I am about to port this line over to at&t, is there anything special I need to do to get data working correctly when I put the new att sim in? I'm asking because I have heard of data issues when using the sprint u11 on at&t. Phone is sim unlocked with the stock sprint rom.
Nevermind, looks like its an att issue.
S-off and flash to US Unlocked firmware. That *may* help.
