Just got the phone, unlocked it, works fine on T-Mobile, but I was wondering if we can debrand this or rebrand to another carrier like most G9xxU phones out there. I know this is a P and probably isn't simple, but has anyone tried yet?

what csc are available on your device/firmware? for example my N976V has VZW and GCF.. i switched to gcf and its basically unbranded.. at least in my case..
problem with the carrier specific models they might have slightly dif capabilities such as network so putting csc on that doesnt go with the device might not work right

so u took full tmo firmware for a g975u and flashed it to g977p without unlocking the bl or anything?
can u take a pic of ur about phone and software info and post it so i can see what its reading as?
this is very interesting since it would mean that the regular U versions are signed with same keys as the 5g sprint version which is unlockable.
also, did u flash everything? BL AP CP CSC etc?
I flashed the G977tuvs2ash_8_tmb_[www.unlockguy.ca]. I have since paid my sprint bill, refreshed the sprint firmware, and it is good as new, with the OEM unlock button now showing up. You want me to try it again without enabling oem unlock and see what happens?

Well it has only just been released, and verizon is notorious for their security
So can someone summarize what can be bootloader unlocked? Not sure why there is no thread dedicated for this, maybe it wouldn't be asked 1,000 times over and over.
SM-G977P: Sprint 5G, can be bootloader unlocked like Exynos and other Android phones easily and rooted.
SM-G977T: TMobile 5G....????
SM-G977U: Verizon 5G, not unlockable or flashable?
SM-G977N (Exynos): ?

It said accepted.
Rebooted with new AT&T SIM, still asks for network unlock.
I wanna unlock the device to use here in Brazil with brazilian carrier sim card. Sugestions? I have a G925T.
I already bought a unlock code on eBay, just waiting for the code to test it.

This whole issue started when tmobile started testing the Samsung Galaxy Avant (SM-G386T). I had bough 13 of these phones (I'm a reseller) but unlock code did not work. But this same phone was released on Metro PCS that works on Tmobile networks. The model numbers was same with Tmobile except the roms was different. What i had did was flashed the Metro PCS roms entered the unlocked codes from 3rd party (It worked)
Now with the S6 and S6 edge, these phones are not yet released on Metro PCS and i am not sure they will even release them. But if they do i think it will be good to try. I am not sure if the international Roms will work since as there might be a slight hardware difference.

Wondering if anyone has been able to flash the unlocked firmware onto the T-Mobile Note8.
Previous to my Note8 I had a Galaxy s8 which was flashed with the U1 firmware using Odin...

No bloat from carrier, no boot sound, "stock" Samsung. You'll lose Wi-Fi calling depending on your carrier, you'll lose rcs, 256Q, and 4x4 mimo.
Overall I found the tmobile firmware better with just disabling the bloat through adhell.

For me that's too much to lose.
@all I appreciate the responses. I'm gonna try it I'm about an hour and report my experience.
I can't find much T-mo bloatware on mine. What else besides T-mobile, T-mo TV, visual voice mail and device unlock is there? I think carrier IQ is gone for good, anything else?
Will I trip Knox if I flash the unlocked firmware on my T-Mobile? or will anything change in the download menu showing unofficial status?
it will not trip knox and its reversible if you don't like the unlocked firmware. I went back t mobile firmware and used bk disabler to disable the bloat and crap running in the background. all in all you'll have about an extra GB taken up on internal storage which isn't much on a 64 GB device IMO.
With unlocked tmobile N8, if I flash unlocked fw, then device should work on Verizon?
hello - i also have this question. (sorry noob here).
I got my tmobile note 8 unlocked by paying off the the pending amount and followed the Tmobile's device unlock procedure. But even after that the phone did not work with Verizon's network.
Reading BlueFox721's post for carrier switching (link)
Is my understanding right that, first I have to follow the Carrier Switching procedure and then I can choose between 2 options
(opt 1) flash a specific carrier FW or
(opt 2) i can choose to flash the phone with the unlocked firmware.
Am i also right that flashing the phone with a carrier specifc FW provides some advantages that are specific to that carrier's network setup (features such as wifi calling, 4x4 mimo) and that also adds some of the bloatware from that carrier.
appreciate your help in advance.

Yes
Dumb question. If the device is carrier locked, say to tmobile, will flashing unlocked firmware on it unlock it as well? or is it based on imei?
Nope, unlocked FW won't sim unlock the phone. And if you want to use Tmobile's unlock app you need to use it with Tmobile stock FW.
Doesn't unlock firmware support 256 qam and 4x4 mimo? It has band 46
I have both and want to sell one or just return it.. I've activated the Sprint one, but wondering if the Unlocked one is that much faster without the bloatware.. Any comparisons/suggestions are appreciated.

It's really all personal preference....but both devices can be flashed with either firmware...same...I have flashed the SPR, XAS, and ran the unlocked firmware XAA...I'm sticking with the unlocked firmware XAA because of the download booster but either device can do any of the firmware for you...
Can you show me the link for the Unlocked Firmware download ? It was recently taken down.. So I can basically keep the sprint and debloat it with no problems ?
Just registered with Sammobile and downloaded the Unknown XAS for my Sprint (SM-N950U).. So the Sprint bloatware automatically will be deleted, per following the download instructions ?

If the bloatware is all you're trying to remove you can do that with either Package Disabler Pro or BK Disabler. I use the latter but either gives you the ability to debloat or disable pretty much anything on the phone whether it be on the system side or the installed side. Most people get Unlocked for the freedom to take their device to any carrier without having to use their branded phones or for going overseas and not getting killed by carrier overages. But if it's just bloatware that can easily be removed with either of the options above and you won't need root either. I removed a lot of mine and between that and changing my animations to .5 in Developer Options my phone FLIES.

If you use the modified Prince Comsy Odin you should be able to.
Make sure you edit the Odin config file's UMS/Patch setting from 0 to 1.
Load as follows:
BL file in BL slot,
AP file in AP slot,
CP file in CP slot,
CSC file in CSC Slot (not HOME_CSC),
UMS slot empty....the userdata file is in the AP for the Unlocked software.
Hope this helps,

I want to get the note 8 unlocked from bestbuy and use it on sprint as well. I've been away from android for 2 years. If I flash the sprint firmware will I get regular sprint updates or will I have to manually update the firmware when it's released. I mainly want to do the sprint firmware bc of the visual voicemail(I didn't like google voice with my unlocked nexus 6) or what other options do I have? I've been reading around and the unlocked version has wifi-calling built in correct? Sorry for so many questions didn't know if I should start a new thread or not.

Use the same method all the other s10+ users use lmao..
I mean all you need really is patched firmware then flash in ODIN.
If you want to get adventurous you could try the closest models twrp.img but if it blows up then it's not my fault.
Theres also twrp threads and multiple twrp groups on telegram that you're probably better suited to get your help there.

Oo Yes please. Do you have a download link somewhere?
I'm guessing the process would be to update to stock Q first and then OEM unlock, flash twrp, etc?

Is there any other sprint phones out that have custom development out. I miss rooting and can't find one. I'm about to switch carries, been w sprint for 10yrs. What's the best service provider that has custom development for rooting.

is there a root method for my device? Like the title describes, this is the model of my phone and yes the OEM unlock option is available. If one of you lovely people could point me in the right direction please, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey op could you post a link for the correct phone for the sprint 5g, I'm assuming it needs to be unlocked. I just can't find anything on rooting sprint phones anymore. I'm considering switching carriers. What the best carrier for rooted custom development for phones?

I'd love to hit you up on telegram, your considered a master on these forums. What's the best phone available for sprint with custom development? I uauallly choose a phone for that reason but I got the sprint gs10 and the bootloader is locked. Thanks for your reply. I'm even considering switching carriers since sprint sucks in PA. Which carrier has best custom development and what phone? Like the one plus or something?

i have no idea.. it doesnt really matter since all the same phones are typically locked on other carriers.. i.e. u cant get a unlocked g975u on sprint or any other carrier..
i also have no idea what the "best carrier" would be for you..
All Great Minds,
Sorry for posting a question unrelated to rooting here, but I assume those who can root this phone would know something about its hardware well.
I was so excited to learn SM-G977P's bootloader can be unlocked until I realized Sprint is a CDMA company. My carrier is T-Mobile, which is based on GSM. Then I came across several guys on eBay selling this model and claiming it would work with T-Mobile/AT&T.
When a phone is built for a CDMA company like Sprint, how does it even work with a GSM network like AT&T or T-Mobile, even if it is carrier unlocked? Unless of course the hardware on this phone supports both technologies. Can someone please confirm if this is a dual band phone?
Secondly, if the hardware to support GSM is there, after it is unlocked from Sprint, do I have to flash a new ROM for T-Mobile in order to get on their GSM network?
Thank you
