I've just been informed our organization is switching to T-Mobile. We don't get new phones (darn!!). We do get our old Sprint phones unlocked. My phone is a Note 5 (N920P). I understand it to be capable of using T-Mobile once it is unlocked.
BUT.... I could use some pointers to the newest Samsung-based rom - I hope an S7/S8/N7/N8 (aka Note 7 or 8 or even later) touchwiz-based rom - that is stable and would run fine on my (unlocked) N920P with T-Mobile as carrier.
ANY help welcome. I've flashed a lot of roms, but would appreciate a little help and saving myself from having to try every rom I find here.
THANK YOU.

I've been using my N920P unlocked Variant for about 1.5 years now.
But i have it on 6.0.1 still and i do not plan to upgrade it to N. Because after upgrading to N i cannot go back to 6.0.1 anymore.
How's the battery life on android N?

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?
Haven't had a note in a while and thinking about picking up a note 4. I am with T-Mobile and would purchase the T-Mobile version, I read about different variants and just wanted to make sure they could all be rooted, custom recovery and flashed without issue. In some of the threads here when people have issues, others ask what variant, etc.
Thanks

Get the sm-n910t (t-mobile version). Very mod friendly.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
The T-Mobile version comes with the bootloader unlocked out of the box. You can do whatever you want with/to it.
I just purchase a T-Mobile Note 4 on 11/17/15 from one of their store. The model that I got is the SM-N910T3 and not SM-N910T. It comes with Android 5.1.1 installed instead of 4.4.4. You will probably end up with this model. Does anyone know if this variant is still bootloader unlocked? I also read that the TW 5.1.1 rom has root blocking enabled by Samsung, can anyone recommend a custom kernel that can override this to prevent a bootloop?
T is better for ROM Support VS. T3. T3 may be smooother

You want the T version for more ROM compatibility. The T3 version can be rooted and has a few ROMS but supposedly Samsung changed something in the phone so it has alot less ROM support. It does have root and 1 or 2 good ROM's though.
Root for T3
More info on T3

Did you ever end up buying this phone? I have been thinking about picking up a used one on Swappa to use as my daily driver until Samsung releases the S8 or Note 8. I currently have a LG V10 and even though it has an unlocked bootloater and root, there is zero ROM development for it due to issues with LG firmware/drivers.
Apologies in advance if there's a thread for this i can't find it.
--Situation:
I have galaxy note 4 verizon 910v
I switched to tmobile, just swapped Sims everything is fine
---Now what I want to do and is this possible:
Root phone
Put tmobile rom on this device
If this is possible can someone help me I been rooting and flashing Roms for years this is my first time doing it like this
The N910V has its own Roms thread, changing the Sim doesn't change your phone to a N910T from an N910V. Do NOT use N910T Roms unless the Dev specifies that it works for the N910V as well. Enjoy

There is no root method for the 910v I have 1 along with the tmobile version. It's only a root method for the dev edition vzw N4
Thanks guys. There's no root yet for the retail n4 910v??

I quit Verizon and traded my Verizon Note 4 for a T-mobile Note 4. Best purchase I've made lately :highfive:
Verizon locked up their Note 4 'til doomsday.
Hello I have a verizon note 4 and am using it on tmobile my question is this, Now that the 910v can be rooted what happens if I root it and download a tmobile rom and install it on the phone? Will it work or will it brick the phone? I have no idea if there is any real difference between the verizon note and the tmobile note besides the carrier. Any input would be appreciated as I cant stand the verizon bloatware and would love to have my tmobile stuff back
thanks in advance
As far I know not possible
Tmobile is GSM model and verizon is CDMA frequency bands different.
I did something similar with AT&T G2 and loaded a Tmobile ROM on it. First you need root and TWRP or equivalent. and then some developer have to created a modified bootstack that are tailored for your phone model to work with the rom. Once you load the bootstack, then you load the rom without the radio. Not for the faint of heart.
Hello everyone!
I got the sprint note 5 running android nougat a few days ago but i'm having a problem... I doesn't let me use 4G Lte and that is a must for me. (Because of how data plans are here). I did some research regarding this device and it seems like its identical to the international note 5 which made me assume that the only thing blocking me from the 4g is the system installed in this phone. What i want to know is: Will i have 4G/LTE if i flash twrp and install a custom rom? The band i need is B7 (2600).
Your help would mean a lot.
Thanks!
PS: If I can't get this to work with 4g ill have to get a verizon note 5 which, from my past experience with verizon devices should have a locked bootloader and pretty much i'll be stuck to android 7.0 :crying:
-Configure your APNs and reboot
-Get your phone unlocked by Octoplus box
-Yeah, you could try a custom ROM
