Hello everyone,
I recently got my hands on a Verizon Note 7 and was trying to use a T-Mobile sim card on it. The person I received it from stated that the phone was unlocked and when I put in my SIM I do see T-Mobile is available as a network. The problem is that I do not get any connection to the T-Mobile network, no calling, no data.
I did some research and I was wondering if I have to input the APN settings manually. Also, from what I understand, T-Mobile and Verizon use different bands, so would my data connection speeds be technically slower on this mobile vs a T-Mobile model?
I am also open to flashing the ROM on this Note 7, but is it possible to flash a Tmobile ROM to this device and basically make it a T-Mobile Note 7?
Yes enter APN settings manually. You can Odin the TMO firmware if you aren't squeamish.

Considering the crap that Verizon does to their phones I highly recommend flashing the T-Mobile from if it's possible. I was shocked to see how much bull**** they did on that phone.
I entered the APN settings, but still cannot connect to the T-Mobile network.

T-Mobile fw can be odined to a vz phone??? Can someone verify this?
Yes there are threads. The phone hardware is exactly the same for all carriers. Just click on my profile name and I posted a recent link on how and where. [emoji3]

That's great news. One more question. I f I have a sprint, or vz note 7 buts its not sim unlocked, and flash tmo fw, will my tmo sim work without unlocking?
VZW is always sim unlocked. Not sure about sprint so somebody else has to jump in for assistance.

I'm thinking of going back to Verizon from AT&T.
Would I only need to root with towelroot & get a new Verizon SIMS card to achieve this?
Any help appreciated,I have asked a ton of people and haven't gotten a straight/helpful answer yet.
I know the Verizon s3 works on att so it might be possible

As far as the device goes, as long as it supports the LTE bands your good, you'll need the APN settings to configure it. Plus the phone will need to be sim unlocked first

Thanks allot.
So the APN settings would come from Verizon,correct?
I saw the lock when I tried to insert my old Verizon SIMS card just to see,would Verizon also give me the SIMS unlock?
I have to call AT&T and request them to unlock the S5.
No Verizon is CDMA and At&t is GSM
You can use Verizon on either because it has both radios built in last I checked they were the only one that did
Title says it all. I'm looking to buy a Note 4 but I need wifi calling. Do I need a locked T-mobile one or can I get any unlocked phone?
It would need a TMOBILE ROM. Also unlocked bootloader

In order to have wifi calling you need the following:
1: Tmobile branded phone N910T model or any other tmobile smartphone.
2: You need to be on the Tmobile network using a tmobile sim card.
3: You need to use Tmobile stock firmwares or Tmobile custom roms.
You don't need to have an unlocked phone, wifi calling will work whether
your phone is locked to Tmobile or sim unlocked for other carriers.
Wifi calling WON'T work on international Note 4 unlocked or locked phones
regardless of the network, carrier or sim card you might be using.
Good luck!
Thanks for the quick responses!

Why cant the international note 4 with tmobile custom rom use wifi caling? I had the international note 3 and it worked.
I've been searching for a thread to talk about this on.
I just recently purchased an SM-N910T from rent a center. It's a t-mobile phone with a wacky RAC rom. Can I put a stock t-mobile rom on it to enable wifi calling with my t-mobile sim card?

So I just got my Moto X pure edition that ships with a tmobile sim, I connected to wifi and I am downloading the OTA update but I left the tmobile sim in. I am going to be using this phone on AT&T though, so that is why I am asking. I notice in some of the baseband and other labels I see the letters TMO which to me means tmobile but it may be unrelated.
Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid question.
It is the pure it will work on AT&T fine. It supports both networks just fine. The baseband does have the TMO name in it but does not matter. Just keeps it different from the AT&T version.

Thanks, I figured as much but just wanted to be sure.
keep that tmobile sim. AT&T hasn't even released Lollipop yet, so if you throw that tmobile SIM when everyone else is starting to get updates, you should get the update too. If you try to update with the AT&T SIM in, you're going to be waiting quite a while.

With the pure edition it does not matter what Sim you have in the phone. You get your updates from Motorola not the carrier.

Hi everyone,
Im thinking of getting the T-mobile Note 4 because its the most "usable" model since its bootloader is unlocked, it has different roms to choose from and can be used with LTE globally. I know there is an international model (N910f) but it seems it has trouble with LTE in the US.
So the question is, can I use the N910t (T-mobile) with another carrier right out of the box, if unlocked? Meaning the phone never touches a T-mobile sim card.
Thanks in advanced!
It will need to be unlocked, then it should work on most networks. The LTE will Not work on Verizon or sprint though.

Be careful with the LTE network. If you want to use it internationally you better check the frequency of the local LTE carrier. Most international carriers use a different frequency. Use this page to guide you en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Hey guys,
I currently have the SM-N920i and my phone won't connect my carriers LTE network (ROGERS), I was wondering if I could flash the canadian firmware on my device, is this possible without rooting?
If so could you guys please leave the link or version name that would work for me. I'll leave some more information about my phone below if that helps
Note 5 32GB GOLD
Model number: SM-N920I
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: N920IDVU2AOJ3
Build Number: LMY47X.N920IDVU2AOJD
Any help is appreciated, thank you very much !

Yeah, APN settings are correct
Yes you can if they both have same model number (920I)
And no knox wont trigger.

Flashing the firmware would not enable bands that are not there in the beginning. It's strange you can't get LTE. It has almost all the bands for LTE that Canadian carriers use which is majorly 1700/2100 bands aka AWS

Have you contacted your carrier and ask them if your device is setup on their end for LTE?
I have the international version and it works fine with Bell... No LTE-A though.
Hi Kingpin12, i ever faced the situation here in Indonesia when i first bought the Note5, what I did is go to the provider office and change the sim card into a 4G simcard. Maybe you should try to change the simcard first then give it a shot. Hope it helps.

Hey,
i've tried that, still doesn't work.
Was the last device you had on your line LTE capable and activated? You should be getting LTE unless you're in an area that uses a different band that the n920i doesn't have.
