Can it really be this easy?
This works on International...I have all downloaded and am waiting for my TMobile Version from UPS... it's out for delivery now now. When he gets here I'm going to try it ....there's a lot of the debate on whether it will work or not ...nobody's tried it yet though

The other website is called androidinghow.com and they have SU, TWRP ,and Odin all ready to go... I have the file loaded on my desktop. Use Odin flash Twrp and then use Twrp and flash SU. They have Rooted the NOTE 7 thus far. We just dont know if the Snapdragon ones here in the States will...

Some countries had note 7 already but I read Canada carriers have the root so waiting on leak and/or this community to provide it. FYI Canada getting same type as US
I can wait for it to shake itself out. I won't be getting one until T-Mobile goes live with their new unlimited plan next month.

Fully functional TWRP should be available for the Note 7 Qualcomm tomorrow or the 20th, depending on when Samsung uploads the N930W8 kernel source. (only thing I'm waiting on)
If you have an N930T, you can try flashing https://idlekernel.com/twrp/a2017/twrp-3.0.2-0-b10-ailsa_ii.tar.md5 which is for the Axon 7 but only to see if it accepts the flash. If Odin succeeds to flash it, then it's quite likely that it is indeed unlocked. (you'll know for sure that you're unlocked if it says Set Warranty Bit when trying to boot recovery IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASHING!!!!!!!)
If Odin says FLASH FAIL, then it is bootloader locked and John Legere Kenobi is your only (clearly unreliable) hope.
You can then boot up your system and it will reflash stock recovery and you'd be back to normal.
If it is locked, trying this will not trip knox warranty bit.

Did not work.
Sad day...?
did you unlock the oem bootloader, there is an option in the settings under developer settings may have to click that on before you can attempt to flash anything.

The new "T-Mobile One" Unlimited Plan starting Sept 6th is really a bad deal. First off it is $70 per month before the other stuff. $25 to get the "Bing On" turned off and be able to enjoy true HD video on their network. You only get unlimited 2G speeds of tethering with the $70 plan. You will only be able to purchase 5gb of 4G/LTE tethering per month for $15 per month. $70+$25+$15=$110 You add insurance and you are at $120 per month before tax/fees.
No more 14gb of 4G/LTE tethering per month. Pay more just to get HD videos and only getting 5gb of 4G/LTE tethering. Or get throttled to SD videos and 2G tethering. That is the new plan.
You would be better off getting the plan now before the changes.
Just saying.

yeah i got a grandfather plan with unlimited high speed and mine is average 50 per line so i refuse to leave my plan for the new over priced stuff i already have.
That guide looks like it's for the Exynos version...

There is nothing wrong with that. I did. There aren't really many options, are there? If I bought the international variant then I'd get no LTE.

I did mine on the next plan... all it is is a monthly payment plan to pay the full retail price of the phone, $650... so it's $32.50/month for the plan that lets you upgrade every year ($32.50/month x 18 months = $650). when you want to upgrade in a year (or 18 months and the phone would be paid in full), you either trade the phone in for the next one or just pay off the remaining balance ($260) and then sell the old one online and get the new phone on the NEXT plan
I don't know much as the next program. I don't like it from what I've read

What is your bill if you don't mind me asking. Mine is $79 plus the 32 would be like $113-114. I think I might wait till it gets a little older and the next price would be a little cheaper than I'll get one.

well, I haven't received a bill yet that has the NEXT upgrade on it... so, my bill is $125 now, will be ~$158.00 with my SGS 5 on it.
$100 -> 10GB data bucket (shared between my wife and I)
$15 -> wife's line cost (for service)
$15 -> my line cost (for service)
$32.50 -> SGS 5
23% off national account discount
taxes
=$158 ish with the NEXT plan added
if you have a 10GB or higher mobile share plan, your lines are just $15/each if you are 1) financing a phone through NEXT; OR 2)pay for the phone upfront

If you're on the newer Mobile Share plans (especially 10GB+) it will save you money over a new two year contract. You do see a little bit of a higher monthly bill, but you save quite a bit over time. Make sure to get AT&T Insurance or Squaretrade, though. And the 20 month Next is better than the 26 month Next.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
If your going to spend $600+ you better invest that into a international version that supports AT&T LTE bands. You won't benefit anything from the AT&T version far as root, roms, etc since our bootloader is "locked"
Also AT&T Next is great if your into staying up to date with the latest devices like most of us here. Like the users said above but with more detail you can choose to lease/finance the device for either 12 months or 18 months. You pay $0 deposit down and depending on the terms of the lease/finance you can either pay $22 or $32 a month.
Your plan and everything decides on how much data you need. i have the 20GB plan with 6 lines. my bill is around $200-$250 a month. 3 of those lines are on the Next program
That's new to me. Wasn't sure the international version could support ATT

meh.. same difference for me.. I'll likely pay it in full in a few months anyways when the iPhone 6 comes out and get that too... in the end, I pay full price for the phone regardless.
The "Next" plan is a ripoff unless you're the type who is scared to sell a phone on Craigslist. An absolute ripoff.

exactly what i have, i coupled my $25 phone payment plan (18 month instead of your 12 month) with the new 2GB data value plan
What if you get it on contract. Its $199 down payment and $320 as ETF.
Total $520.
Is there any catch? You can cancel the contract after 1 month, pay the ETF and keep the phone??

Yup, that's the same thing I did. My contract would have ended this September, but my previous phone (iPhone 5) was one drop away from being completely broken. Because of that, I said screw it, bit the bullet and did the early upgrade to the 18 month Next plan with the 2GB mobile share plan. I would have much rather the traditional 2-year contract plan, but oh well...no way my phone would have survived another 6 or so months.

Yeah, the phone is yours if you choose to go down that path. Personally, I try my best to avoid the ETF, simply out of principle.

This is SO SO SO true! Basically with next you are still paying around $650 in 2 years for a new phone BUT you don't get to keep it.

You can keep the phone on the Next plan. You don't have to trade it in if you don't want to. The phone is still yours no matter what...you just have to pay it off either way.
If i was gonna pay full retail I'd have gotten the Tmo S5 which apparently has an Unlocked BL, it is compatible with ATT LTE. Which is why I asked why the OP paid so much for the ATT version which is locked down as tight as fort knox...Still hoping a root exploit is found for ATT at the very least, if not not a big deal to me as its going to my GF who has no use for custom rom/kernels.

i currently have unlimited data with vz, im grandfathered, and going to the 2 lines for 100$ with unlimited data (only tethering is throttled, and for those who root t-mobile won't be able to differentiate between on device data and tethered right?).
Service, how is it? I live in phoenix, don't travel much but if i do i'm never in rural areas. I do go to NYC\Queens are about once a month.
Customer service, How is it?
Billing expectations, how is it?
Thanks for your input guys, i'm ready to make the jump just need some input-
Should try prepaid T-Mobile first. Service might suck and then you will be mad. Or it could same or better and wonder why you did t switch as fast as you could.

I live in DC but travel back and forth to my hometown which is (Brooklyn, NY). The service is great within any major city. I've had bad service in West Virginia (which is pretty rural).
I honestly think T-Mobile's customer service is great and if I'm not mistaken they work 24/7.
Right now my girlfriend and I are on the "2 for $100" family plan that you speak of and it would of been 2 for $100 but we both have financed phones (she has the S5 & I have the Note 4) and we both have insurance. Our bill is roughly $180.
Conclusion, its not a bad deal and what I love is no contract and we have JUMP which allows us to switch phones as many times as we want (for a fee of course).

I was a long time VZW customer for 14 years living in Chicago. I recently moved to Scottsdale in August. The recent Galaxy S4 OTA from VZW rendered my phone useless. Twelve to twenty reboots daily. After 6 replacements Verizon refused to switch out to another model phone. Tech Support had the balls to suggest that I buy a phone on Craigslist even though my current phone was still under factory warranty. I made the switch to T-Mobile in November and couldn't be happier. Faster and better LTE coverage than VZW. Plus unlocked bootloaders and more affordable plans. TMO just announced their Data Stash program effective 1/15/15. Another win win for the Un Carrier...... Go for it my friend

the answer i was looking for, you've made my decision. Getting two Note 4's ,, was considering Nexus 6 but na, i have the note 4 with vz and i hate it because of the locked bootloader too.
I worked for vz corp in chandler for the last 9.5 years up to November 1st. So Yeah, you're experience sounds about right, and i def don't wanna be treated like a VZ Consumer so I have til the end of the month before i'm converted back to a consumer account with consumer pricing..
Thank you all for your opinions...
I will be going for the 2 for 100$ with the monthly payments and insurance i'm also about 180$
Q: can i pay the phone off sooner if i wish?

These guys all hit it spot on... I might even go as far as to say try the test drive program. Yes yes its an iPhone, butttttt, its a no strings attached way to test coverage for seven days.
Moral of the story:
You want to be sure of your coverage over everything. If coverage is good where you live/commute/reside/work/whatever, then you probably won't have a better experience than with T-Mobile. And the network/coverage/plans/deals just keep getting better and better, with no signs of slowing down.
i'm on t-mobile...
couple of questions, i have wanam ,but i don't see the option to change the mapping of our recents\back button ( want the recents to be menu and long back button to be recents)
oh also, is there a dropbox offer for T-Mo note 4 buyers?
also when wifi calling is enabled, sms fails immediately in hangouts when trying to send (can receive though)
turn off wifi calling and boom it works. any ideas?
narrowed down sms via wifi issue (kernel related)
So does anyone know about dropbox offers? and swapping recents for menu? thanks.

Sooo just went to a T-Mobile store to buy a note outright to use on ATT but the sales person I got said they no longer allow buying the phone without at least a prepaid plan. Anyone else come across this?
Going to check out other retailers to see if I can get by without paying for 2 months of T-Mobile service on top of ATT :/
Try best buy.
Swappa.com and save some cash while your at it. A lot of XDA guys selling their stuff there.
Yeah looks like swappa+an unlock code would still be cheaper in most cases.
Seems that best buy only carries sprint Verizon and att?

You should be able to sign up and just cancel if you have no other options. The fine print reads that if you are using the Electronic Installment Plan and you cancel then the remaining balance on the phone immediately becomes due. Does it say there are some other fees you incur if you cancel early?

I'm always amazed by this lol, do you go in and say I just want a Note 4 or do you go tell them all your business?
I just think it depends on other factors, but idk I didn't have this issue but I heard others have.

+1. That is how I acquired my T-Mobile Note 4. Will eventually be putting up my "Excellent Condition" Verizon Note 4 as soon as the ETF get's billed and I either get it payed off via payments and/or my 6-8 week T-Mobile "debit" card comes to cover the costs. :good:
Has this been started for the ATT version of the S5? If not I'll start it.
I want to root mine too. No luck yet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using XDA Free mobile app
There is a pre-lollipop root available. However, there is not one for anyone who has taken the lollipop OTA or got the S5 with it already installed. I am not sure if anyone is even working on it since this phone is almost 2 years old now.
I sold mine and got a unlocked tmobile s5 rooted it on 5.1.1 with no problem. I can use my at&t sim in it and with a few APN adjustments. My son still has the at&t s5 and it automatically took the 5.1.1 update. We still want to root it as soon as possible. Im sure sooner or later it will be a way to unlock the bootloader and root. Maybe at&t will soon unlock because I heard Verizon did

I sold mine and got a unlocked tmobile s5 rooted it on 5.1.1 with no problem. I can use my at&t sim in it and with a few APN adjustments.

In the mirror universe maybe...
I don't get the impression anyone is even working on it. I think the world has moved on from this phone.
Any news?

yeah I'm in the same boat my S4 that was rooted decided to not see the SIM anymore and I had warranty on it so when I called to get the replacement they didn't have any S4's left so they sent me a S5 ***BUT** the S5 came with 5.1.1 on it and now I'm f00ked......no more tethering with my grandfathered unlimited data plan I dun use it that way much MAYBE 5-6 times a year when we go camping and have no interweb access and I can't see paying $60/mo to use it tethered that infrequent.
If they wouldn't b1tch I'd throw my sim card in my laptop Wi-Mo card and use that for internet.

I have an Samsung S5 on ATT with 5.0 and I can tether with grandfather unlimited by using pdanet+. I think it was about $8.
Root yet?
Give up on root. Devs have moved on from the this phone. ( at least the AT&T version)

how do you tether on an At&T unlimited data plan and KEEP your UNLIMITED data plan?????
DirecTV customer who can come to AT&T for $140/mo, 2-lines Unlimited Everything. Fine print gotcha is no tether/hotspot.
Is there a work-around since I guess my rooting days are over with this phone?
Thanks.
if you have root you can flash the hotspot hack and this will get your hotspot to work, now if you dont have root.
what i did was download clockworkmod app on your galaxy s6 from play store and then follow the instructions it gives you to tether to your computer.
if you need detailed info i have it, i just wrote down some basic stuff to not waste my time
I don't think the S6 is rootable anymore?
Bumping this as I'm thinking about jumping on the unlimited data deal and getting an S6 edge during the BOGO free deal coming up. Any update OP?

unlikely that any newly purchased device will still come with rootable firmware.
