You can but not by using this software. If you have the tmobile variant you would have to get it network unlocked by tmobile to be able to use your note 8 on other carriers. This is the samsung version of the software. All it does is provide users with a firmware that's not bloated by carriers. It doesn't really unlock anything.

I forgot to mention. It doesn't unlock the bootloader either.[emoji39]

S9+ G9650 on T-mobile US for WiFi calling/VoLTE + Root?

Trying to decide whether to get G965FD or G9650 to use with T-mobile US. G9650 will have unlockable bootloader for rooting the device, correct? I realize the device is too new and there is no root for Chinese/HK variant yet but it will be there soon if it has unlocked bootloader.
Will flashing T-mobile US CSC give the VoLTE+WiFi calling features while preserving the unlocked bootloader and root?
The only reason I ask is because Exynos S7/S8+ modem download speeds suck on T-mobile US(10Mbps vs 60Mbps on Qualcomm in same location at same time when I tested). And then G9650 may support band71 as G965FD does not for 600MHz LTE on Tmobile.
Bump...
damn, does S9+ SM-G9650 have or not unlocked bootloader ?
would awesome to have 256gb vs low 128gb on S9+ SM-G965F
It has an unlocked bootloader from what others have posted so far. In fact there is first version of TWRP being tested on it looks like. Not sure if we can flash US CSC on it though. Also the modem on it probably is missing band 71 like international Exynos. There won't be many ROMs out for it but at least you can get root, dual SIM and Snapdragon advantage(as mentioned in reviews) I guess....
I think I'm only going to root if there is a way to go back to stock if I want.
I had an LG V20 on Sprint and I rooted it. Which is fine. All worked well and I was able to uninstall LG related crap I did not want. But with that I could not receive Android updates. I wasn't running a custom ROM, I just wanted root to remove LG installed crap.

Sprint galaxy S9 plus SM-G965U no OEM Unlock toggle

hi i have a galaxy s9 plus from sprint i show up the Developer Option but there is no toggle for OEM Unlock
how to fix that?
Android 8
Model number : SM-G965U
Software version : G965USQU1ARB7
Hardware version : REV1.1
Build number : R16NW.G965USQU1ARB7
i haven't install the system update yet
Bro, this question was asked for like 100 times. SNAPDRAGON VERSIONS DONT HAVE oem unlock option in developer options. Bootloader cant be unlocked in Snapdragon version.
does that mean I can't root my sprint galaxy S9 plus?

For now, That is exactly what it means.
Apparently I am a spammer (couldn't register), so I'll try here. I notice the G965F and G965F/DS run Exynos 9810 and the G965U the Snapdragon. I want to unlock by bootloader, flash ROM, etc etc so is giving up the bands available to the G965U that big of a deal? Or should I wait for some smart ppl to figure out a way to unlock the Snapdraon ones (is that possible or just not done yet?) ? Thanks much!

And 100 times it's been answered incorrectly.
All snapdragons are not permanently locked... There absolutely are unlockable snapdragon s9/s9+s, just not 96XUs. The SM-G9600 and SM+G9650 are both snapdragon and also have unlockable bootloaders
Are you... ‘The One’?
Ah man. I’ve been searching for an answer since I got this SM-G965Uxxx. I’m kinda frustrated about this. Either way, wish I could help. I’m a developer but I’m not sure theirs much I can do but ya never know. I would love to hear of a savior that unlocks this s9+. Thanks for even pursuing it. The first one to do this will be looked upon like a savior of the snapdragon(G965U) people.

the g965u version of the s9+ is unlockable but complicated. the combination rom has OEM unlock available in the Dev options.
im working on a permanent patch, its very much so still a work in progress. any devs willing and capable of helping please PM me or you can start on your own
hope i put someone on the right direction.

This was also available on the S8 It has nothing to do with bootloader unlock all oem unlock does in Combo roms it shut off FRP If you can get the toggle to stick properly as with S8 you had to turn it on and off like 50 times to get the security popup to popup....
We have been researching this for a while now

All G965U and U1 models have locked bootloaders. There is no way to enable OEM Unlock.
You can't use G965F files on it since the hardware is completely different.
Always check for VoLTE compatibility before buying. The G965U/U1 is intended for US markets only.

Can I install US unlocked firmware on Canadian Note 10+ ?

Canadian Note 10+ N975W is unlocked, it is the Snapdragon 855 version.
The US Unlocked Note 10+ model is N975U1, it is also the snapdragon 855 version.
But, recently, the US unlocked model is getting frequent software updates. So, I was wondering can I install the US unlocked firmware to CA unlocked Note 10+?
Has anyone tried that?
Yes you can
