My Galaxy s5 Came with Zero Bloat ware and unlocked. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

OK so I have a tmobile S5 and it came with zero bloat ware and unlocked. I also noticed it had no T-Mobile apps or T-Mobile Boot Screen. Crazy right. I'm wondering how this can be. Any ideas? I got it from a Friend at Rent A Center. (They have Android phones now)

Alliance is a custom ROM. Someone flashed it, then put it back in the box.

It's a used device that someone had and they rooted it,unlocked it there's no mystery. Lol

I just did it today, May 13th. I didnt have to take a picture or anything, he just asked what was wrong and what color phone i had and i said white and he got my information and it should be here by the end of the week. BTW my phones battery cover really is messed up so thanks for the post informing me of this, because i was about to buy one on ebay for $20-$30.
are white ones sold in germany at all?
guess it wouldn't work then.
will see if I can find out. I really like this white cover.
Btw the white one looks AMAZING on the phone. The phone looks so much better w/ the white cover haha its like having a whole new phone again. Makes me contemplate actually buying the Evo LTE b/c I actually like the look of the EVO 3d w/ the white a lot better
How does it look with the rest of the black housing? Pics on the phone?
you guys are lame. I LEGALLY got mine white when I bought it from radio shack.
Well this is also LEGAL because it's from HTC

I found a leak of the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note III. Here is an image of it. I think they could do with some more branding

I have one of these... The picture doesn't show it, but the Verizon logo is carefully etched in the lower right of the screen as well, giving that TV transparent logo effect.
is it for Verizon or At&t?

Guise. Keep this ON TOPIC please. Verizon Note III only.
Add a "Verizon 4G LTE" wallpaper and a widget that accrues your account balance (like the U.S. national debt clock) and it will be perfect.

My Galaxy S4 Love Story

Guys not sure if this is the place to post this but all I see are a lot of what's wrong with this phone but today I managed to find the Samsung Video Editor and made my wife a video that brought her to tears. Happy tears. All you see in the video are all captured by my S4 and the video editor made it even better.

Life isn't perfect. This is my 3rd marriage. Just found the first two in the wrong places but if it wasn't for those mistakes I wouldn't have found my new life and wife. Just gotta keep moving and eventually it will lead up to something greater and better than what you ever had.
I didn't believe it at first and it was a painful process but it got me ready for hopefully my last search for love.
It made me who I am today and wanted to share this with everyone here searching for love.

I was in one of the AT&T Corporate stores yesterday evening and they still didn't have a display model ordered one anyways! lol
verizon has them on display
Went into a store and they were setting the demo up.. said should be ready by the afternoon.. gonna go check it out tomorrow
Display is up in Bowling Green, Ky.
Paramus NJ AT&T corporate store on Route 4 has the display model. I had already ordered because I'm so frustrated with Samsung, but as soon as it was in my hand, I knew I made the right decision.

That's the main reason I sold my note 3. Samsung has all the same stuff. The M7 I really liked and missed it after I sold it. I had the black 32gb version. Loved it but got offered an S4 and 200 and I said ok lol

I stopped rooting for a while, so the locked down nature of Samsung didn't bother me too much. I feel like getting back into it, but the fact that the bootloader on the Note 3 still can't be unlocked is killing me.
