I have the International Original N7000 Note. It is unlocked and I have used it on ATT since it came out. I'm rooted and have Rocket ROM on it
Since it was always my phone, I never worried about ATT giving me a hard time about it being Rooted.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the new Note 3 from ATT.
I'm sure ROMs will be developed for it.
What are the pitfalls with ATT if I root the phone? Other than they wouldn't support it if I bricked it.
Will they Brick it with an Update?
Will they detect it is rooted and give me a hard time?
Looks pretty sharp and I can sell my Unlocked International note for some pretty good change still. But I know I'll want to root the phone.
The AT&T boot loader is locked. It will need to be cracked before a custom ROM is possible, and the S4 hasn't been cracked since the original vulnerability was "fixed" .
You may be out of luck with AT&T.

Hmmm, so none of the ATT branded notes could be rooted?
I'll have to look into some other LTE version perhaps.

They may sell the international version, but I don't know if that's unlocked/ rooted. Keep in mind, carrier unlocked isn't the same. e as bootloader unlocked

I see on youtube about Custom ROMs being loaded on ATT Note I and II.
So I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about here.

Haha youtube is littered with fake videos man...you need a better source
I'm thinking of getting a 'fully unlocked' S5 from an auction site. The seller has AT&T (SMG-900A) and T-Mobile (SMG-900T) versions available. Which is best? How do they differ from the international version apart from the printed logo and some carrier specific apps? Can they both be rooted?
The T-Mobile version has more bands of LTE support in the US. I am on ATT, and I bought a T-Mobile S5 a few days ago. I am loving the phone so far, and plan on getting it fully rooted and unlocked shortly. The international version that is sold doesn't have LTE band support. Both the ATT and T-Mobile versions can be rooted.
After using the G900A with AT&T (twice lol) I decided to pick up T-Mobile's S5 last Friday. Already running a custom rom and kernel. Love it. Only wish LTE reception was better optimized for AT&T's band 17.

That's incorrect. the ATT version cannot be rooted as of right now and has a locked bootloader. Definitely go with the Tmobile version if you want rooting and flashing ROMS

Alright guys I'm in need of some help. Recently went back to my Note 3 (was messing around with a OnePlus One on straight talk for a bit) and realized I'm totally rusty and generally clueless on what to do with my Note 3. I'm thinking about selling it or trading it off so I wanna return it to stock. I'm currently running Hyper Drive rom right now, modem is MJE. My Note 3 is an N900V. If you guys need more info I'll gladly get it done. I appreciate it! Thanks

Flash these in Odin and you'll be back to stock. Make sure you're using retail if you're on retail edition. If you mix retail and dev edition you could possibly brick your phone.

Yes, put your phone in download mode and flash in a slot. Get anything you want to keep off your internal storage as that might get wiped too.

Hey guys. I just bought a Verizon S7 Edge today and I've read online I can convert it to a full T-Mobile version with wifi calling, get updates, etc. Is there a guide to do this anywhere? I searched, but couldn't find it.
I wouldnt recoomend it. Once you flash the T-Mobile rom, you cannot go back to Verizon due to different bootloader versions, which means you will lose your warranty.

Wouldn't you be able to flash back to Verizon after? I'd like the wifi calling and upcoming updates for better lte speeds on T-Mobile.

No you will not be able to flash back to Verizon because T-Mobile is on bootloader v3 and Verizon is on v2. You cannot go down versions. It's entirely possible, in fact it's exactly what I did but I do regret the move. I would recommend flashing the U firmware which is the US unlocked version of the s7e. That will unlock pretty much all of the bands and you should be able to get wifi calling and you can flash back to Verizon.

Thanks, do you think the u firmware will get the updates for the 4x4 mimi etc that are coming to T-Mobile shortly for faster speeds? Also, is it possible Verizon will eventually go to a v3 bootloader and thus be able to flash back again? Do you have a link to the guide to be able to flash the U firmware?

Yes 4x4 mimo should be twice as fast as Tmobile. There's a chance that Verizon and U will be updated to bl3 but there's no way to know. Honestly I would flash U and stick with it.

I don't think U will get mimo but do you realistically need it? I dont know about warranty, but it will not trip knox.

Not really, but faster speeds are always good in some slower areas.

Fair point. Just know that if you do this, you cannot go back and it will void warranty. If you want to do it, just download the tmobile version firmware, download odin from that post that I linked to and flash using the instructions from the post.

No. It won't. 1 S7 has had issue and the story had very little details. Also, almost 30 of the 92 Note 7 issues reported in the states turns out to be bs.

Where do I turn on wifi calling? I couldn't find it in the settings.
-edit- Nevermind, I turned off the phone, put my sim card in, and restarted and it popped up. It wasn't showing up due to the fact I put the sim card in while the phone was on I guess.

Hii,
Sorry for the questions, but it would be really nice if you could help me.
I recently got a s7 edge verizon model as it was way cheaper. I wanted your inputs on flashing either the unlocked or tmobile version. i understand that U version is better as there is chance to revert to verizon ROM.
Sorry i do not know certain basic things.
Does verizon model have all bands and just verizon did not open them up??
Do u get all bands on U version that tmobile uses once you flash with U-version
Can u get tmobile wifi calling HD voice features on the U-version
Any other advantages and disadvantages of either version?
other than the bootloader v2 vs v3.
will i get get updates with tmobile and what about samsung pay and android pay?
will samsung pay and android pay work on flashed Unlocked ROMS, i do not intend on rooting the phone.
If i flash the tmobile version will it be tmobile sim locked ??

I have the U verison you do not get the video calling but you get HD voice, wifi calling, and etc. You get all the bands that each carrier uses on the U model.

Thanks, what about samsung pay and android pay, will they work?
Hello all,
Apologies in advance, I have been away from the flashing scene since Nexus 4 days. I recently purchased a US unlocked S7E from Best Buy. I am wondering if:
1) Can I flash the AT&T firmware so that I can gain wifi calling, and other at&t features like HD voice?
2) Would there be any drawbacks to doing that?
I purchased unlocked since I am considering switching to T-Mobile soon. I heard that T-Mobile wifi calling and HD Voice work out of the box with stock, unlocked firmware, but apparently AT&T doesn't work without the ATT firmware... Is that correct?
Thanks,
Flashed the AT&T firmware on a TMobile S7e to get those features and have had no down side to the change.

That's good news, are you able to use Samsung Pay, or does flashing trip KNOX? Also, do you know if it is possible to flash back without issue?

I've gone back and forth a few times no Samsung pay issues either. This does not yep Knox. If you are on the U phone make sure you flash the correct version of the att firmware. Not sure if the U phone has V4 bootloader or not yet.
