[Q] Bought an Unlocked Verizon Note II - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

My question is...should I get it activated on Verizon so I could get the KitKat OTA? Will I lose the unlock if I do that? I'd rather have the phone activated on Cricket Wireless...it'll be cheaper!

If the bootloader is unlocked you do not want to take the OTA it will lock the the device and you wont be able to change roms not sure about being able to change carriers. There are stock roms available with KITKAT running via TWRPor CWM.

Thanks Vernox! I've been over in the Apple world for a while...so I'll have to get caught back up on Android what TWRP is! I'll do some searching. Is there a good stock rom with KitKat that you recommend?

Sorry I can't recommend anything at this point. I am new to the Note2 as well. bootloader is locked but I did manage to root so I'm content with modding and getting rid of the bloatware

[Q] Need stock rom 3 Sweden

Hi
I need stock rom, Three (3) Sweden.
I would like to downgrade but I don't think you can do that from 4.3 right?
Found a link to one version but link was broken.
Problem is that I removed the provider lock a long time ago. But for some reason it came back when I upgraded to 4.3.
Then I bought a sim unlock code from my provider but that won't work now. Probably cause the stock rom I use now is international.
Any tips?

You need to quote the original poster not me.
Also don't go giving the post when you don't understand it.
Read up on pit files and why they are a last resort. Theres a reason its called rescue or emergency firmware. Only used when the phone is soft bricked and all else has failed.

Thanks. Yes it's Tre. But as I understand it I will brick my phone if I try to downgrade from 4.3 so I'll probably just stick to 4.3 unless you know something I don't?
Anyhow, I think I will have to have the shop fix it. I managed to find the stock rom now and reflashed it but the unlock code I got from them still don't work. So I don't see any other option, I need to have it unlocked and I allready paid for it.
Thanks anyhow.

Difference between SM-G900T3 and SM-G900T and ROM compatibility

Hi,
I have been having trouble with Odin on my T-mobile S5. Only now I realized that my model is SM-G900T3, not samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900T. So I can't flash ROM posted as they are for 900T, not 900T3.
Is there a repository for T3 ROM?
Or is there a way for me to use T ROM instead? The developer option has "OEM unlocking" but I am not certain what it does.
Thanks

That's probably why you're having so much trouble trying to get on KitKat. The SM-G900T3 was never officially on KitKat, just lollipop (5.1.1)
It has only 5.1.1 ROM -- I guess the model came out later than G900T and only has 5.1.1 ROM
Is the bootloader locked?
I've seen post that people installed CM ROM for G900T on G900T3 successfully. Does anyone know if I can flash stock rooted deodexed G900T ROM on G900T3 with TWRP?
Thanks

Yes you can. I'm in possession of a g900t3 and I can install any and all of the t-mobile TouchWiz roms. It's the same firmware as the g900t, I guess it's just a newer manufactured model.
Edit, bootloader doesn't seem locked, but there is an option in developer options to unlock bootloader anyways

It seems 900T3 will fail to boot up with 900T ROM. Have you tried it?
Thanks
Yes. I'm actively running vison-x OL1 rom. Was running the de-odex stock rom till I f'd it up messing with permissions. Both work no problems
---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
I got my replacement phone from tmoible store, backplate has AT&T logo.. lol. So much for that. I switched with my old sprint backplate so it has no company logo. But yes, I've worked it with tmobile roms, no problems at all. No reason to goto kitkat unless u r trying to unlock all frequencies. Tmobile works in the basement where I work, sprint s5 didn't get s*** for signal there
What are the steps to install the G900T ROM? Thanks
Sorry for such a delay, I've been having serious health problems. Before changing roms or rooting, enter developer settings and click he "unlock" bootloader option. Then you can use the same rooting techniques as the g900t. Use Odin to flash TWRP 3.0.0-0 recovery, then reboot to recovery and make a nandroid backup. Download whatever g900t rom you would like, and flash away. I am personally using the Vision-X rom from 3-4-16. Once you have the recovery installed and have a backup of stock rom, you are good to go. And you can Odin flash any g900t baseband, modem and it will work. Even kernels from the g900t can be used, flash them thru recovery. When TWRP asks to help root your phone, deny it at all times. It seems to f up the root on the custom roms that come pre-rooted already
Sorry for necro bump but is it confirmed that the T3 version bootloader is unlocked? And you can simply load CM/Lineage as you would a regular G900T? Thanks.

if Odin fails during the Custom Rom Install and you have a ROM that is compatible with the T3 model from sammobile, then yes it is locked, if it proceeds and passes, then no the bootloader isnt locked. bear in mind it is normally that AT&T and Verizon who lock down their bootloaders to prevent downgrading

you can find G900Ts on Amazon.com (better priced than the GS7 for sure).
Mine is carrier unlocked and brandnew as of last year. I compared Specs between G900T and G900T3, same phone.

Can't find any new non refurbished ones. The t3 version seems like only new ones out there.

As far as flashing roms goes, there's no difference between the G900T & G900T3. If you're flashing firmware, however, there is a difference, Odin won't let you flash a G900T firmware image onto a G900T3, and vice versa. I own both a G900T & a G900T3. If you're buying a used/refurb, you're better off with the T3 because it's newer. When new firmware is published, I flash both phones with their respective firmware (V1 for the 900T, V3 for the 900T3), then the 900T is rooted but otherwise stays stock, and the 900T3 is flashed with a deodexed rom, all of which seem to be built from the V1 firmware and which work fine on the T3. Whatever the difference is, it seems to be in either the modem and/or the bootloader, and it's minor enough that it doesn't effect the booting of the rom.

I don't know how to make it any clearer. You can run any rom on a G900T3. I've yet to find one that doesn't boot. I'm currently running the G900T3UVS3GPK3 firmware on a G900T3 with the Resurrection Remix rom which is based on the official Lineage OS 14.X.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I don't know why anyone would bother with the S6 or S7, although I do have to say the S7 looks pretty sexy.
I got mine new from B&H Photo directly at their Manhattan store since they sell the T-Mobile model new and unlocked (they open the box, unlock it, and put it back in all without touching the battery as I was explained). Only difference I notice is that the battery door is now truly plastic for the black model instead of being a rubber type material as they originally were (I owned one when it was first released, so I remember). Heat seems to be another difference, and it is more easily felt with the plastic back. Battery seems to also suck alot more than the first ones, but I read that this is a Lollipop and Marshmallow problem, and the heat it added.
Other than firmware, does anybody know any OTHER differences? 3DMark fails to recognize it.

Well I got my T3 but couldn't root. I get a message that says FRP lock when trying to root via oden which is same process I've used on other S5s so not sure if this means bootloader is locked. Any thoughts? Thanks

Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

Has anyone been able to get WiFi calling or VOLTE to work on the U firmware? I haven't been on it in a while.
Edit: not sure why i quoted you for this question. Lol sorry.
I have been trying to get it working as well. I wish that att would support wifi calling like T-Mobile does I only get 1-2 bars and sometimes no signal when I'm at a certain spot in my workplace and when I had the original att software on my phone I loved wifi calling, I don't particularly miss VOLTE though
Thank you so much for doing this. I was using the wrong Odin to flash.
Quick question on this. Now that I am running the U firmware, will I get OTA updates? I'm using a Cricket sim card.
I hated the AT&T firmware so much. I'm so much happier with this.

Need to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for at least wifi calling to work.
after flashing this firmware.. I noticed a huge gain in performance.

I like the clean appearance and the smooth responsiveness, I used the AT&T firmware and I used PDP to disable a ****load of bloat, but nothing like this smooth.
not to mention I'm getting updates, which I'm more happy about.

As long as you had att unlock the phone you are fine
I bought it "factory unlocked" so I'm not sure who did it. What would happen if att didn't unlock it?
Please help me understand
I see some forums on this site that says, " G930UUEU2APEH flashes to g930a" then you have this post that says G930U firmware on SM-G930A. It seems as if one is saying to take the G930U and go to G930A and the other saying G930A and go to G930U. I thought the advantage is to go to the U and get off the A. Please confirm if this is the case. Granted then if this is the case... then, what are the advantages of going to the U? From what I understand it gets rid of the bloatware, and makes it so you can tether?
Also once I go, are there any negative reasons for me not to go from A to U?
Does this give me the current version of Nougat?
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Thanks in advance,

None, unless you like the ATT bloat.

Unable to update after unlocking bootloader & rooting

Anyone else not able to update via OTA after unlocking and rooting? The updater just crashes on applying update step 3 of 4. And if so is there any way to get the updates back, even if it means losing root?

Ok thank you. I have been looking around and I have not yet found someone who has been successful in unlocking the bootloader on their Verizon Moto Edge+ in USA. I will keep searching.
Hope you find the solution to your problem.
Hmm, this looks promising. Just bought an unlocked S10 (Snapdragon) and will be returning it since it cannot be rooted. Thinking of grabbing the unlocked version of this phone to use on T mobile. It is the same price as what I paid for the S10, so I would only be out the $50 restocking fee. I need root, Adaway, and of course Viper4Android. As of right now, my old rooted Galaxy S4 with Viper4Android absolutely KILLS the S10 in the audio department.

Yes and yes, but there's an easier way.
When an OTA update arrives uninstall magisk (this is only temporary)
Install the OTA and make sure to not restart
Go back to magisk and install but select install to inactive slot (After OTA)
Now you can restart and you're done!
Here's the guide where I got this from
When I tried to restore the back up image for the uninstall step, it says "Stock backup does not exist". Where can I get a stock boot image? Does it have to be Racer xt2063-2 or can it be xt2063-3. This page has variants of xt2063-3, but the Google drives they're stored on have "reached their quotas" so you can't download the images. Those images being stored on a Google drive has me suspicious of motostockrom.com.
What are the variants about? That site not explaining that also makes me suspicious.
Edit: l found a stock boot image here. What is the name of the file Magisk needs to see and where do I put it?

Hmm, this looks promising. Just bought an unlocked S10 (Snapdragon) and will be returning it since it cannot be rooted. Thinking of grabbing the unlocked version of this phone to use on T mobile. It is the same price as what I paid for the S10, so I would only be out the $50 restocking fee. I need root, Adaway, and of course Viper4Android. As of right now, my old rooted Galaxy S4 with Viper4Android absolutely KILLS the S10 in the audio department.

How is that unlocked Edge+ working for you on TMobile?
