1. I wonder what is the differences between global and Att firmware?
2. I purchased pixel 4a 5g from google store and use it on Cricket wireless. Can I flash Att firmware to have more benefits?

Cricket Wireless is owned and operated by AT&T so that is the firmware you should always be using when flashing your monthly updates if Cricket is your provider. You get the same benefits that go along with any monthly update for our device as far as that goes.

I have an unlocked Tmobile Note 3 (running on AT&T network) and I would like to know if I could install roms from AT&T version on it? If so, do I need to do anything special for it?
In my opinion it would be a downgrade. At&t packs it's devices with bloat.
Any particular reason you want an at&t rom?
Hi Everyone,
I've searched and could not find a clear answer, and am hoping someone can help.
I just purchased a US Samsung Note 8 (SM-950U1), my question is, is it possible for me to install the G955W (Canadian) firmware on this device?
For Canadian users is anyone currently using a US Note 8 (SM-950U1) Factory unlocked?
Thanks.
Made a typo I meant can I flash SM-N950W Canadian firmware to a SM-950U1 Factory unlocked Note 8
Thanks,

not yet, North American models are all Snapdragon with locked bootloaders. If someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you could get a flashable zip version of a Canadian ROM and use that but as far as I've seen nobody has been able to do much with the Snapdragon variants yet.
I have been reading the s8 plus thread where users have flashed the s8 plus Canadian (sm-g955w) firmware to the Us s8 plus (sm-g955u) is it not the same process?
Thanks for your help

If you follow the s8 + guide...if available it would be the same for u...I am working on a guide for carrier switching but it is for U.S. snapdragon models...but it uses the Canadian XAC home_csc...I say pm the poster of the s8+ that you mentioned for details and then flash at your own risk....you can always flash back to your original....before you do, though, insert your Canadian carrier SIM and see if you can activate it...when I was testing the carrier switch there were options to change to Canadian csc's....good luck
Any update? I also bought my note 8 from USA. With the US firmware, we do not have access to certain features like VOLTE or caller ID and spam protection.
Check out blue fox's thread. I just flashed US firmware on a Canadian unlocked XAA device(not sim locked to Rodgers, bell etc). long as your flashing stock Samsung firmware, youll be fine. The Canadian and US Note 8 phones are basically the same.

@black96ss how did you do this? this would help us a great deal if you can help us out.
Specifically the SM-N960UZPAXAA model that I'm looking at on eBay. I have clicked on numerous links that say it doesn't have both of these bands or only band 66.
The phone will be on the Metropcs mvno which uses T-Mobile.

Yes. All the N960U and N960U1 devices are the same exact hardware. They all support band 66 and 71. For the best coverage and support on Metro PCS, you'll need to either be running the U1 firmware or the T-Mobile firmware.

Thanks for the reply! I don't have much experience using Samsung devices and I heard you can't root the snapdragon models; so is it just a simple flashing of the firmware? If I don't run the firmware, will all the LTE bands still be available to me?

1. Correct, you can NOT root the US Snapdragon models.
2. Yes, you can flash any U or U1 firmware through ODIN without root or tripping Knox.
3. As far as I know you will have all bands available to you, though some people have said they get better coverage and signal on T-Mo after flashing the actual T-Mo firmware.
I'm currently running the U1 firmware on an unlocked ATT Note 9 and using it on the T-Mobile network without any issues.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to flash U1 firmware on a carrier locked device?

There are a few threads with instructions on how to flash to the U1 firmware from the U or W firmware. Flashing to the U1 or W firmware will not SIM unlock your device from the carrier it is locked to though. It is highly recommended that you SIM unlock your device first, if you plan on switching carriers. For example, T-Mobile uses an app that is included to unlock devices sold by them.
I wanted to ask I have galaxy note 9 model is SM-N960W. Using it in India and I want to use volte services which firmware will be suitable for this model. I have downloaded one but I am getting confused that it is right or not

You can't use VoLTE on N960W in India.
VoLTE requires Indian CSC which is only available on N960F (Exynos).
N960W (Snapdragon 845) is intended for Canada only.

No, you can't use VoLTE on any Indian carrier.
You can however make voice calls using 3G and use LTE for data only.
Curious for all you pros out there. I purchased an ATT branded note 9 directly from Samsung running on firmware N960USQS1ARH6 and am now switching to Spectrum (Verizon).
1. Can I use the verizon firmware N960USQS1CSD1 android pie 9? or
2. Do I have to stay on 8 and use the verizon firmware version N960USQS1ARH6 instead of the ATT firmware?
3. Do not want to brick my note 9 and would like to dbl check before flashing.
4. Went down to the spectrum store and they verified my IMEI number is compatible..
Thanks for the help...
