Hey everybody,
Switching back to Android from my iPhone and would like to know if it's possible to flash T-Mobile ROMs on VZW S6 Edges. I've done this in the past with my VZW S4 (unlocked bootloader). I know the bootloader is locked for the S6 and all but wouldn't T-Mobile ROMs have the same TW signature?

I have an unlocked Tmobile Note 3 (running on AT&T network) and I would like to know if I could install roms from AT&T version on it? If so, do I need to do anything special for it?
In my opinion it would be a downgrade. At&t packs it's devices with bloat.
Any particular reason you want an at&t rom?
Can this be done? They recently had an update and I wanted to know if I can flash a Verizon ROM on my s6.
Thanks
Hi Guys, I'm thinking about switching from my Nexus 4 to S6 Edge. I can get cheap S6 edge [email protected] version which is unlocked for all providers.
Does [email protected] version comes with any additional bloatware? Is possible to flash non ATT branded firmware instead? (Or put there e.g. some europpean ROM?). I just would like to make S6 as clean as possible without any [email protected] Thank you!
the att s6 edge is heavily bloated. Also the bootloader is locked, so you cannot flash any roms not specifically made for the ATT firmware.
If the kernel was updated past May 15th (i believe), you will not be able to root either, and you cannot downgrade from that.
The sprint s6 edge has very little bloateware. It has about 5 uneeded apps unless you dont use most of the google apps then its around 10-15.

G925A is bootloader locked so you will be unable to flash anything other than TouchWiz Roms for ATT.
That being said there's a couple very debloated Roms for the G925A. I love my S6 Edge it's a great device in my opinion.
I have hunted around for an answer, but couldn't find anything that made sense.
I switched carriers (At&t to T-mobile) and have unlocked the IMEI, but I run into metric F--- Tons of issues.
So is it possible to load the Galaxy S6 Tmobile stock rom, or even a custom rom onto my At&t Galaxy S6? If so how do I do it?
Thanks for any help!

Given our AT&T version has a locked bootloader and is also the only derivative still on 5.0.2, there is quite literally nothing you can do. Being on T-mobile now, I would sell that G920A for G920T in a heart beat.
You may be able to root and install XtreStoLite rom v1.5 for increased performance and battery life, but that will never get you things like wifi calling. (which you'll probably need on T-mob)

Thanks for replying. What do you mean it has a locked bootloader?
i have an unlocked 920t (t-mobile) on att network. should i be using the att section for rooting and roms?
No. Roms are based on your phone model. Stick to the TMobile forums. I know with the S4 the international roms are generally compatible as well so you may check in the General S6 forums, too. Most custom roms list which models are compatible in the OP.
Besides, you won't find much here since the att phones have locked bootloader and no root currently.
great, thanks.
