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.

Question - I have an unlocked SM-N915T that I'm going to use with AT&T. To get Lollipop should I use Samung Kies or will it OTA ?

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.

I have the Rogers SM-N915W8 that works perfectly on AT&T LTE.
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,
What is the difference, other than carrier bloatware, in a carrier-unlocked Galaxy S7 (G930[A,T,V...etc]) vs a factory unlocked S7 (G930U)? I am planning to buy a T-mobile S7 at full price and then get it unlocked by T-mobile customer rep because it is cheaper for me to do that than buy a factory unlocked version.
The following questions are what I have thought to ask so far:
Installing custom ROMs -- can I install custom ROMs for the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
Unlocking bootloader -- Can I unlock the bootloader for the carrier-unlocked version?
Factory Image -- If I just want to get rid of T-mobile bloatware but keep Samsung's factory image/ROM, can I install the factory image of the G930U on the carrier-unlocked version?
What other limitations are there, if any, between the 2 unlocked versions?
Thank you for all your feedback and time.

You can't go custom or any other fun things with any US model S7 (Snapdragon)
You need the International S7 (G930F)
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about getting the international but I heard it has poor reception with US carriers

Can't help you with that one I'm afraid, hopefully people in the US using International S7s can reply
Maybe make a new thread titled:
"Anyone in the US using G930F?"

I have a factory unlocked s7 and I'm using it on T-Mobile. I am having some issues though. I am not getting LTE in places where I had LTE with my S4. I also get 3G a lot when I am supposed to have LTE and no data goes through on 3G for some reason. Not sure if it is an issue with the model I have or if it is a common issue. The factory unlocked one has the bands for T-Mo USA though.
Also there is a thread about this in the tmobile specific galaxy s7 subforum https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/using-sm-g930f-t-mobile-t3335753
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.

Hello
I currently have a note 5 verizon and I want to know if I could just flash stock Tmobile OR International Firmware to it so i can get more support for wifi calling etc...
If possible which version should I go with I know there isnt a SM-N920(u) like other newer models that is unlocked firmware but I have seen international fimrware
Or should I just go with Tmobile ( but will bootloader be locked after flashing)
thanks for responses
Not possible. If you want WiFi calling on T-Mobile, buy the T-Mobile version. These phones are not cross-flashable.
