[Q] AT&T to T-Mobile S3

Hey guys. I couldn't get AT&T to unlock my s3 so I downgraded to android 4.1.1 to do the free unlocking method. It worked, but my phone has AT&T apps in it, and when updating it says crap like updating from AT&T server or w/e.
When using ODIN, was I supposed to install the AT&T or the T-Mobile version of the 4.1.1 android?
I figured since it's an at&t phone I have to reinstall the at&t so it doesnt mess up the drivers or anything (I totally made up that conclusion myself).
Also, I don't get 4g LTE now and only get E internet. Do I have to do some settings so the phone cooperates with T-Mobile?
As always, thank you very much for the helping hands.

You're probably going to need to setup the apns for Tmobiles network to work for your phone fully.
It automatically made one called tmobile but I dont know if I have to edit it.
Was I supposed to install android 4.1.1 for at&t or tmobile?

As far as i know you should be fine on the at&t rom, You're just going to need to edit those apns probably.

Well, how about this? I install the T-Mobile rom. Shouldn't that have the proper apns?
Now another question comes to mind. Since this is originally an at&t phone, will installing the T-Mobile rom mess it up?
Anyone? Help plz

[Q] Help! HTC one m7 at&t not updating

Hi guys,
I need your help please. I bought my htc one m7 a year ago in USA. the phone is at&t branded but internationally unlocked for any SIM card. I went back home to Serbia and phone works fine with my Serbia SIM card but the problem that I'm having is that phone is not updating at all. I still have 4.3 android. In the settings the option is not saying software update but it says at&t software update, just to give you a clearer picture. So I don't know if I need at&t SIM card for it to be able to update the phone or what. Is there some other way to clear my phone like its not bond to any carrier?
Thx

at&t phone can only be updated using ot aupdates if they are connected to the at&t network.
To de-brand your phone you will need to s-off and flash the dev edition ruu.

Update from outside USA

Hello.
Is there a way to update my G5 H820 to Nougat from outside USA ?
I got AT&T working sim, I tried with it - not working...
Thanks !
there's a few thread who discuss this, it seem that some people need to insert a sim of the same carrier the phone is branded on, in my case my phone is Tellus and I have used a different sim but the update I got was the telus OS update for an H831
Not sure there's an update for H820 and pretty sure H820 are not AT&T
This site is pretty good at listing available update https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h820pr-firmwares/
I'll say it again, you have to have a working att sim and be in the US to get the update. Att can suck a fat one

S9+ Model SM-G965U need help flashing T-mobile to Sprint

My Baseband version is G96USQS7DTE1 with a Carrier configuration 2.3900001 It is on T-mobile but I want to move it to Altice Mobile. I was told the easiest way is to flash it to the Sprint Firmware first. How do I do this?
you probably just have the wrong csc. if the phones paid off why doesn't the carrier handle it?

Why not just try installing a sim card from Atlantic Mobile. When I purchased my S9 plus it was for T-mobile.. After installing the Sprint Sim and having it activated, it turned into a Sprint phone.. Even the T-Mobile, splash screen was replaced with the Sprint Splash Screen.. No need to root or even flash Sprint firmware.

Esim functionality on unlocked AT&T version?

I was curious if anyone that had unlocked the AT&T version of the duo has been able to use the esim functionality.
The AT&T version does not support esim. I am trying to get an unlocked rom to test but so far did not find a copy of the image yet

If you could give a heads up if/when you do, that'd be great. I'll do likewise.
My other question is, there shouldn't be any issues flashing an unlocked stock ROM on an unlocked AT&T device should there?
Hardware wise, are they identical? With the differences merely being the preinstalled bloat, and it being (software) locked to a network?
