Hi,
I want to buy a note 9 that I can root and use in the US. I have the US version right now and I can't live with it (without root). I need the headphone jack for my car and for getting OTA radio - so the note 10 is not an option for me.
From my reading it is either the N960F, N960FD (exynos for t-mobile) or the N9600 (snapdragon for Verizon)
What I can't figure out is if I get one with the 8/512GB if all the country versions are equivalent for working on US networks
With the 960FD are all the versions the same for using with T-mobile in the USA? Do I need to worry about the country it was intended for/came from?
With the 9600 are all the versions the same for using with Verizon in the USA? Do I need to worry about the country it was intended for/came from?
Do you have any suggestions about how to make sure I get a decent one (an actual new phone instead of someone trying to cheat me)?
Do they all still ship with Oreo? I don't want to go to pie.
Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
I've got the 9600 single sim. the boot loader is unlockable and u can root custom install if so desire. new on Amazon for around 500ish

Are you running it on Verizon? Thank you for your help.
when i originally bought the phone it came loaded with Android 8.1 all I did was pop in my sim card and go.. nothing else needed to happen. I'm on cricket wireless which is also ATT

one more thing to note my phone was from latin America. when if when you start getting into that I will find something like this in the settings.
TGY/TGY/PCT <---> Hongkong/Hongkong/Puerto Rico
these are also known as CSC. little bit of googling and ur understand a bit more
basically it equates to country codes
I changed mine to Hong Kong, because I've been messing with custom firmware and rooting. still on cricket and living in KY.

The N9600 is a dualSIM device. Are you sure that you purchased a N9600?

Been doing some searching on the Moto X. Two questions that I need help with ASAP.
1. Can the GSM unlocked version be put on AT&T wihtout issue?
2. Since it is the carrier unlocked version can I unlock the bootloader?
Can't find anything out there.
Also, is there still an easy root exploit out there?
I want to pick up a wood backed companion for the Nexus...
Which model?

So basically everything but band 5, if I want to use it on AT&T. That may be worth it to get an unlockable bootloader.
So I am not new at this. Owned several Nexus devices all rooted within hours of ownership. But this multiple versions is confusing the **** out of me. I am ordering the XT1053. Can I just unlocked the bootloader through Moto's site and then go through ADB and flash TWRP or CWN and install SU?

1. Yes. I currently use an at&t mvno and pick up LTE with my unlocked X.
2. Yes. You will void your warranty if you request a code though. Unless you buy the developer edition. Unfortunately the Dev ed is not available through motomaker.
Don't know about easily rooting though. This is the first android I've owned where I haven't felt the need to root yet.

Just wondering if we can start up a discussion about the International Hong Kong model N9600 regarding the One UI / Pie Beta.
Is there any information on the pie for the N9600?
It started in Germany and US. Wondering why Asian versions didn't get it before.
Waiting or the room for N9600 too. Maybe they'll release soon a Hong Kong version
I asked that too ... seems we will have to wait for official SW
But isn't our model usually gets official updates first ? Before Europe and US?

Hi.
Has anyone tried to install the China version of Android Pie (9) with a CSC of android version 8.1?
I mean, taking out the China CSC and putting the ASA6 CSC for example.
Hong Kong version is out!
Fresh off of the presses, The LG G8 has an Android Q Beta! Beta 3 to be exact.
It is ready to go as soon as you unlock the bootloader. Also you will need to have a windows install to run the EXE.
If you dont like it you can roll back with the same app.
All Info and how to do it can be found here. LG G8 Android Q Beta
I shall be doing it as soon as I'm done with my review!

I will certainly be following this project as of right now there's too many limitations for me as this is my daily driver phone but I'm certainly going to be flashing this on my OnePlus 6T.

Unfortunately it says my device isn't supported. I guess only the Korean models are eligible.

Oh this is interesting. Which model do you have? What carrier? Did you unlock the bootloader first?

Oh well... Looks like the OEM unlock option is not only grayed out on my Verizon model. It is just nonexistant! LG still bending over for Verizon here...

I'm on Sprint but I can't even access the bootloader. Using adb reboot bootloader or the recovery menu option just makes the phone reboot normally.

Might be possible to flash Korean firmware for it but I haven't tried and would probably lose support for some bands.
The yellow warning sign in the article says it will only work with Korean phones, and the best way to ensure compatibility is to buy a phone in Korea.
I have a feeling LG will lock bootloaders on all US consumer phones for the forseeable future. I hope I'm wrong.
So no US support?
Hi I have just been gifted a note 8 which is the snapdragon model from the U.S but I'm in the UK. My device is a greatqleue, is there any root method or custom roms for this model. I don't even know if it's a Verizon, sprint or other u.s carrier and far as i can tell it's running the XAA csc and the n950U1UEU7DTC3. Hope some one can help clear some things up.

You have a locked bootloader on the SM-N950U1. No custom roms, kernels, and No TWRP recovery.
You only have root for Android Nougat! No root for Oreo or PIE!
Do a xda search for "safestrap" for putting Oreo or nougat back on using Bootloader version 7 and "Extreme Syndicate" for Nougat ROOT (it doesn't UNLOCKED bootloader)!
They're in the "Note 8 Rom section".

Wow. How come there isn't any root method for newer os and how come bootloader cant be unlocked? For this specific device
There are to many things to consider to answer the "how come" question..lol. There hasn't been an unlocked bootloader on a US Snapdragon device for many many years.

Ah, I understand! Shame really, I know of some "soft" mods that work without root like theming etc but it's a shame. And when I got the dtc3 update I noticed it's still on the March security patch instead of april?
Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked, but i can't seem to find the same question anywhere else.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A715F/DS (vietnam) branded International Unlocked Phone, but i live in the USA... I see many firmware updates for this phone at SamMobile site, Is there a firmware i can use that will allow the phone to be more compatible for the USA use? and is it possible to flash a different country firmware with the same model number on this phone instead of using the Vietnam version? i'm well familiar with flashing firmwares, i'm just not familiar with different county firmware updates. Help please any suggestion or advice would be appreciative. Thank you

And what exactly is "the USA use"? You use it sideways over there?
Have the same version of the phone with XME (Malaysia) firmware installed. Try out the firmware TGY (Hong Kong) and no problem encounter. The only different is that different countries have their own type of software packages. Hope this help.

Samsung apps are based on the country code of your firmware. I'm interested in changing Samsung Pay so MST works because right now I am on UAE firmware and MST did not work when registering with the UAE version of the app. My rewards/offers for SPay are also in their currency, not US, so for now I am using Google Pay because I don't want to wipe my phone and try a bunch of different firmwares. Samsung's country codes make all this very complicated.
If someone has found a firmware compatible with USA Samsung Pay and US Samsung apps, please share.
Good day! Could somebody help me with my A715F/DS? After I updated via OTA, it bootloops and all other firmware from SamMobile is not working though ODIN - PASS but after reboot, the bootloop issue still exist. I attached all the firmware I used to flash via ODIN.
