This bootloader is locked down. U need safestrap recovery to flash ROMs.
Thank you for the helpful kind reply
I am currently on AT&T obviously.
I am looking for a replacement, I am currently looking at the note 9 or pixel 3.
I do like my s-pen and headphone jack as I do like my headphones.
Any suggestions on phones so I don't end up in a jailed state again?

How about the note 9 through tmobile?
Better size, micro sd card slot and headphone jack. Don't know what Samsung was thinking.
Anyone know the model of note 9 tmobile sells and if it's bootloader is unlocked?
How about the note 9 fron tmoble?
Earphone jack, Micro SD card slot, great size. Thru say unlocked bootloader.
Anyone confirm that tmoble note 9 is unlocked?
Thanks!

So I wanna know if there is anyway to use safestrap on out devices...I understand it was originally made cause att and Verizon have locked bootloader but I kind like the idea of duel booting ny phone with custom roms... that way of one is messing up I can switch to another....seen a thread were the att one works on the note 3 but what about the note 4???

I wouldn't recommend a safestrap, just get a spigen neo hybrid case and your phone should be pretty safe. At&t note 4 is not locked. I was able to pull off the back cover on my brother's At&t note 4, it's not locked at all. The Rom here are pretty solid, no dueling what's so ever. The same Rom boots up everytime. If your Rom ever messes up then Odin is your best friend. Hope this helps.

Just kidding. Most user here on the Tmo fourum don't know what safestrap is. I do miss the option to dual boot with safestrap though. The bootloader is unlocked for Tmo note 4 so no need for safestrap. I believe the At&t note 4 still to this day has not gotten root. No root = no safestrap development. That was the main reason I ditched At&t and switch over to Tmo. Keeps getting better for Tmo customers with this jump on demand program coming up.

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.
Ok quick question, will the Unlocked Note 8 (N950F) work on the Sprint Network without any issues and if so what would those be?

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.

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

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?

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): ?

That is the US version? If so development is very, very limited due to the locked bootloader.
