[Q] Intl Snapdragon Firmware Update on Tmo N4?

Instead of waiting on this firmware to be pushed to the Tmobile specific N4, is it possible to use the intl snapdragon firmware available on the sammobile site?
The international snapdragon variant is SM-N910F. The Tmobile variant is SM-N910T.
My battery life isn't horrendous. But its not what I was getting on my OnePlus or 6+. Before returning/waiting for Lollipop to be pushed, I just want to see if this firmware update will actually help.

Not possible to install a stock rom from a different variant. The only way you can install it, is that if you can cook it and make a custom rom out of it then install it via custom recovery(which is not yet available for tmobile)

Well damn. Thanks for the quick response though.
Guess I'll hold out for a few more days to see if it hits the Tmo variant.

Strangely enough, I have a German T-Mobile SM-N910F

I thought custom recovery was available. Don't we all have the ability to root or are developers using a different method?
Both devices are virtually identical, software being the exception.

through custom recovery prbly yes. You have to look in the custom roms section. But you cant install n910F rom through odin, it will simply fail to install

Sorry for necropost but... any differences between different variants hardware wise?
My previous phone was a Vodafone Xperia Z2, then I flashed a Generic/Unbranded Z2 rom without problems, and I even received OTA updates to the latter, like it was a Generic version. Isn't this possible on Samsung's?

sorry for bumping up a old thread but is it possible to flash this on my n910t?

Flash the rom, and use a tmo kernel, no problem. Go for it!

Hey my man, so the note 4 is backwards compatible like the note 3 was?? I used to be able to flash an international ROM (X-NOTE, my favorite)then flash BT/NFC FIX along with a T-Mobile kernel before first boot and it worked great!

How do I update PingPong Rooted S6 Edge?

Model Number: SM-G925V
Android Version: 5.02
I know I can't use the OTA update, so how do I update?

This totally depends on what your build number is.
If your ROM version is G925VVRU1AOC3 then follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...nt/trailblazer101-lightlycleaned-rom-t3128758
If your ROM version is G925VVRU1AOE2 and you desire the latest build (which breaks root), I recomend you manually update after you follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
Let me know if you had any issues

Does any one know a way to root with current update in place? To be honest I don't much care about the Knox trip. I want to install new roms and I never want to see samsung music player

As far as I am aware, there is no way to root the latest build, and likely never will be. If you read many of the threads, they all say the same thing, namely the OF1 build breaks root, has a kernel date that patches the exploit used in PingPong root, and makes it impossible to downgrade the firmware. There are plenty of ways to trip knox, yet none of them will root the latest build of the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge. On the plus side, the latest build does have radio improvements.

Will there be any rooted ROMs after OE2?

Unless the bootloader gets unlocked chances are nil

Flashing the international ROM is not possible for the T-Mobile device.

Well, It appears we wont be able to flash the international ROM. I assume this means there are some kind of optimizations on the T-Mobile version that we wont get on the international.
This really is a shame, i'd like to have dual sim + faster updates. But i need better support for my carrier (T-mobile) as i have enough issues Signal issues and MMS not working over wifi on my 3t, while my other unlocked phones Motorala x4, Samsung s8+ work without issue.

I'm planning to buy the TMo version and trade my original OPO for the $300 credit. Pay it in full, wait 40 days and request SIM and boot unlock. Then go to the official or beta branches of the OxygenOS and receive all OTA directly. I hope this can be done.
icantbreak said: ↑
No Beta versions because the bootloader is initially locked, or no Beta versions at all ever on the t-mo version?

Is this "specific modem signature" the optimizations for the T-Mobile network that have been mentioned? And what exactly are the optimizations?

Thanks!
I reached out to a few staff members and got the answer that the TMO hardware will not be able to receive direct updates, this puts it out for Beta at this time.
The truly detailed optimizations I cannot speak to, I do know they went with a specific variant that works best with their network.

We'll see about that.
If the best we end up after unlocking the bootloader are frankenstein firmwares, so be it. Or wait for the rumors of a 845-wide PBL exploit.

Give it some time. Any customizations, such as the T-mo modem, will be pulled and released. It shouldn't be too long before we can flash an international rom and the T-mo modem. I wish we could find out more about the other customizations, though. For all we know there are significant changes to system RPC or kernel

We won't know any of these specifics till we can root the tmo variant and start pulling things more system level things.. shouldn't be too long now tho just gotta wait on OnePlus to send out the unlock.bin files.

N960U1 in the UK

Hi all,
I bought an unlocked note 9 from eBay which arrived today. I got it set up and went to begin installing a different firmware to be able to get the one UI update - only to find out it's a N960U1! I'm in the UK so was expecting/hoping for a N960F.
It's all working, calls work, I've pulled over 3GB of data today all nice and fast, texts working etc. If I was the 'average user' I wouldn't know that it's not a UK one...
My question is, am I likely to hit any road blocks? As long as the radios all work I can't imagine there being any and the play store has all the apps I use available. I'm just wondering if I'm at any advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks

I'm on the same boat (I mean, a similar situation because I'm not in the UK I'm in El Salvador). When I received my phone I started looking for the new UI, but I noticed that I had a very old android build version (I was in September security patch, I received my phone February 11) I started reading about and found out that N960U is the branded version of the note in the US. I wanted to update by Odin to one UI but I was afraid to get my phone carrier locked so after reading a lot more, I found that you can update using the right firmware for the phone (N960U) you don't lose carrier unlock and in my case after installing updates, I don't even have any bloatware.
Now, after this context history, I can tell you that the only thing that will affects is any "radio band enhance" or "carrier feature" and that's because you will not be able to install any UK carrier software to that version because N960U and N960F are different hardware, not just software.
Maybe there is another road block that is about updates, I'm on 9.0 but with January security patch, I have not received any new update. To be hones I'm not sure if there is a new one, so I need to wait to confirm that OTA updates are working for me, if not I will take the time to update by ODIN again haha so that's not something that will drive me crazy, and also related to this I think that N960U android versions are coming faster than I thought, some of my friends with N9600 are still stuck on 8.1
If you want to upgrade go to the following thread, there you will have enough information to update.

Awesome, nice one dude
I used Odin on my previous S8+ to be able to install the one UI beta and that worked fine. Though it did come with a couple of apps that were a part of that carriers firmware (three UK)
I'm aware that the F uses an exynos processor whereas the U is Snapdragon and have seen a couple of guides already. Though they use AT&T firmware and, from what I've seen, have bloatware that would literally be useless to me.
I'll have a look at the guide you linked.
I'd like to have one UI again, but can happily live with the Samsung experience UI if I had to.

Option1:
You can flash the Pie beta since you're running U1, there isn't an official release of Pie as yet.
Option2:
You can switch your device to the U firmware and flash the latest OTA however you would have to manually update each time because you won't be getting an update automatically.

How come the U firmware wouldn't get OTAs?
My S8+ was flashed to get the beta and that received OTA updates.
If I'm to go onto one UI I'd want it to get OTA updates still. If that means waiting for an official release then so be it
On a different note, I installed an app to get the FM radio working today. Can't do that with the UK exynos version ?

Because on the U most OTA comes from the carrier (ATT & VZW) while the rest comes from Samsung.
U1 all updates come from Samsung but U1 updates are months behind.
Advantage of running U firmware is you always get to be on the latest OTA as one is available.

So correct me if I'm wrong but to simplify what you're saying:
The U gets the latest updates sooner but comes with carrier bloat
The U1 gets non bloated updates but Samsung doesn't release then until months later?
I'll leave it and wait if that's the case. I'd be more bothered about having bloat than One UI

Well yes the U comes with bloatware but the amount varies according to carrier, but since you're in the UK. Your CSC will read as XAA/XAA so therefore I doubt you would have any bloatware.
I know this because I myself had own a US device while using in the UK.

Right so even if you switch to U firmware it would still remain XAA/XAA because that would be the default CSC code for Unbranded for American model. F model is normally XEU or BTU

When I did the S8+ I had to go through a pretty big list to find the BTU firmware so assumed I'd have to do the same for the N9
I might give it a go if I get a chance this week

Seeing as you have the US variant of the Note 9. You may have issues receieving connecting to certain networks outside the US. As most US Networks use a different LTE band from the EU/UK

Looking for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Official Stock AT&T Rom for my unlocked phone

I bought a Note 9 from Amazon I thought it was an official AT&T phone but it is the unlocked version. My unlocked version does not support a number of AT&T's features I would like to have access too. I have read how to flash the Rom and I know how to do it. I downloaded a Rom which I thought was the AT&T stock rom but it was actually the same Rom I had the unlocked version. So when I flashed it it was the same as before. I think it is possible it flash the phone so that it is like I bought it from AT&T. I have seen people do this on youtube with their Galaxy note 10's. I am unable to find the Official Stock Rom or maybe I have and am unsure if it is the official one. So if anyone knows where I can get the dang official Rom so I can flash my unlocked phone and turn it into an official AT&T phone that would really help me. Thank you very much.

in sammobile, you could find your "carrier" rom version as you want, which is U, not U1 (unlock version).
then use samfirm or frija to download the rom with max speed.

I'm looking to convert my SM-N960U1 (unlocked) to the AT&T version as well. I'm seeing the following as the lastest firmware I should be downloading to convert to AT&T. Can anyone verify this because the N960U does not have AT&T firmware available?
...firmware/SM-N960U1/ATT/download/N960U1UEU4DTC7/335086/

All the U firmware is the same. If you have At&t sim you can flash any Note 9 U firmware and it will provision to your sim. If you are coming from U1 you will need to do a factory wipe. Was your device purchased as unlocked or was it U?....
Oops never mind I see its unlocked.

For some reason i feel that Sammobile its more about selling firmware software to buyers of samsung instead of helping people take the best out of their phones. Some of use pay over the 1000 dollar for a phone and dont get easy help while samsung should atleast give us the freedom to get the firmwares for our devices for free. Sam mobile has ablot of information on their website,but ofcourse nothing for free. Even signing up their websites is an issue,and to get support thats another issue. So i most say Sam mobile its all about selling Samsung software,while you and me who buy the phones,not sammobile! Resell it back to us. Seriously its discrimination in my eyes. Maybe am wrong, but thats how i feel about. Now i dont know what business relation sammobile has with samsung,but i know the founder is not a. Chinese, but a Holland guy. Thank u.
