It has to be on AT&T to be updated.

Its realy rave! Many people need firmware Nougat for H820 AT&T, really need KDZ or TOT File.
If i have AT&T sim, but i am in Ukraine, can i receive OTA?

I just did it!
I went to ebay and bought an ATT Go! phone sim card. Was about $2 shipped.
I then went to ATT Go! phone website and activated the card. All you need to enter is an email address and your zip code. You also enter in the sim card number (on the sim card) and the IEMI of your phone.
Then it will ask you to pick your plan. It doesn't matter which one you pick because you're not going to pay for it anyway.
SUBMIT! and it takes a few minutes, but then it will say you are activated. Then you can put the sim card in your phone. Wait about 5 minutes before you try to "check for update" on your phone. If it says "no update, please check in 24 hours" just change the date on your phone to tomorrow. Check for update again, and it should work.
After 25 days, the sim card will deactivate, because you didn't put money on the account. When this happens, the sim card is trash, no longer will work ever. Just use it as a tiny coaster.

Ok, you did it in USA, or in another country with ATT roaming?
Many people says for update need be on AT&T native network in USA

It was in the heart of America yes and not roaming.

An you check OTA via AT&T internet or via Wi-Fi connection?

How can this be done by folks outside the US?

Can someone (that has the OTA notification, but hasn't applied the update yet) try to capture the OTA URL with this simple trick:

AT&T unlocking the phone

Just did a chat session with ATT to unlock my Note. I was expecting a unlock code but all they asked was for my IMEI number. After a couple minutes the rep came back and said my phone was unlocked. I was expecting an unlock code but apparently they can unlock the phone on their end. Is this right? Can someone confirm this is how ATT does it now?
I can't test it until later tonight, so I am hoping if any members can confirm this method through ATT.
They should have given you a code to enter when you put an non-AT&T sim (into STOCK Firmware) into your phone and re-boot.
The unlock takes place on the phone, like almost every other GSM phone except the iPhone.
How did you come by the Note? Did you purchase it New In Box from AT&T, from AT&T's refurb store, or second hand? If it had a previous owner, they might have unlocked it before returning it to the store or simply forget to let you know that they had it unlocked.
New in box from day one of release. I really was expecting a unlock code, ill report back when i get a hold of a friend t-mobile simply.
They probably just unlocked your account to do international calling Gotta love CSRs!!!
Used the chat method to unlock my Note last weekend, but in my case they did give me a code. Put in a different SIM, rebooted and then it asked me for the code. Worked great. I bought my Note for retail on release day from AT&T, and they never asked me any questions, just gave me the code.
Finally got a hold of a T-mobile sim and it still asked for an unlock code. Called back to ATT to show my frustration but was still respectful to the ATT rep since it wasn't his fault. After i explained my situation he ended up giving me the unlock code. So at least I know now; they cannot unlock your device on their end and you must physically enter an unlock code to unlock your device. Thanks guys.
Now with the unlock code in. .what kind of speeds does it get for TMobile.. is it only edge? or does the Hspa work with it?
Im thinking only edge.. but the ATT rep told me otherwise..

When I unlocked my Note I am on Edge 2 and get dial up speeds. I have tried to use different radio versions but all of them kill my imei... So I am stuck with dial up speeds. lol
I've only had luck with the ICS blaze radio. Make sure you are already rooted and etc. What I do is flash a ROM, flash the baseband, then choose my ROM. You can do it stock rooted, just make sure you have a stock rooted ROM, then flash the baseband, and it'll say unknown, but works

If you're in a 1900 MHz spectrum, then you'll even get 4G! I can prove it!

I'll bite. How do we know what band the phone is running?
It depends on whether the market you're in is one that ATT transferred some spectrum after the failed merger.
In any case, I tried this a couple weeks ago with a coworker's t mobile sim and got 3g without having to flash another modem in socal.

I finally able to get an unlock code from AT&T - it's an 8-digits unlock code.
I have an old T-Mobile SIM card, put that into the Note, but I receive no prompt to enter the code. The phone just said "Insert SIM card".
Am I doing it right?
EDIT: NVM - I inserted the non-AT&T SIM card the wrong way... LOL!

[Q] Using the Galaxy Note without a data plan?

I just got an unlocked galaxy note that I want to use without a data plan so I tried transplanting my AT&T flip phone sim to the note but I get a message saying "sim not allowed mm#3". So of course I can't make any calls other than emergency. Does AT&T restrict smart phones to use only sims that have data plans? Do I need to root and use cyanogen to get this to work? Does anyone if that will even work?
Thanks
Hish
U sure it's unlocked? That message usually means it isn't...
Use the free unlock available, I used it without issue on my note. You'll should be able to use ANY Sim with an unlocked phone, regardless of data or no data.
The Amazon seller advertises it as unlocked. That's all I can say for sure. Does the unlock you refer to require root? Would you happen to have a link to the unlock?
Thanks for the help.

A little searching goes a long way sir. Googling "i717 Sim unlock xda" would have got you what you needed.
You don't need root, but you do need a custom recovery. Twrp is easily installed via Odin.

Yes, at&t won't let you use any smart phone without a data plan. They will just add it to your bill.
But this phone won't connect to the network without an updated sim card.
You don't need root access or network unlock to run an at&t sim, you just need a sim made for a smartphone.

I'm fairly certain you are incorrect. Its your sim card and you can put it in whatever phone you choose.
With that being said I am in Canada and on Rogers, so I can't very well confirm this. Maybe someone else can weigh in?
If an unlocked phone uses another carrier sim you get a screen to enter unlock code.
He is using an at&t sim so its going to connect to the voice/sms network automatically in an at&t branded phone if the sim is compatible.
That old flipphone sim won't work in a smartphone. The OP either needs to upgrade the sim or call at&t and have the sim reprovisioned (if they can).

And when the OP calls at&t they will tell him to use that phone he will have to buy a data plan.

Yes that's true, I'm not disagreeing with you here on the connectivity.
The later however is false. I know for a fact LTE capable smart phones are backwards compatible with "3g only Sims" aka his flipphone sim, so what you're saying is incorrect. I work with this kind of equipment on a daily basis at work.
The later is also false. All he needs to do is go to a corporate store and say he lost his old phone and sim with it, and needs a replacement. They'll provide a new one, and link it to his existing account and merely charge him a replacement fee.
I thought Canadians were polite . . . Amigo, you're just offering your opinion, but I just went through this with at&t for my sister-in-law. She had an old HTC flipphone and wanted my HTC smartphone with a great keyboard. We put her old sim in and got that error code. We went to an at&t corporate store, and they gave us a new sim and we left with a working phone. After a day of using it she got a text message saying a two gig data plan was required. When she didn't acknowledge that, they cut off the account.
The sim was free. Don't tell me I'm wrong when you don't really know what you're talking about.
I can sim swap between my work phone which is a flip phone and an iPhone 3GS both are on at&t without any issues so I'm not sure what you guys are having trouble with. I believe what the OP is asking for would require spoofing an IMEI of a flip phone aka dumb phone.
There should be some info on how to do that in the at&t Galaxy Tab forums.
Good luck

You can use an old flip phone sim card in the Note. I have an older Cingular 3G Sim card (now at 8yrs old or maybe older) that I have been using in my last few smartphones. Including the Note. Worked perfectly fine. And because my phone was Canadian I was able to add the MediaNet unlimited data plan for only $10 a month. Been using it that way for years without an issue. I have even tested it in AT&T branded smartphones briefly and never had any issues.
Edit: Searching the web, that error may mean there is an outage in your area. If you physically look at the Sim Card what color, words, and pic is on the card? Sim could be worn out also. But in the end ATT will not let you use that plan with this phone for long before charging you.

The two posts following yours confirmed what I was originally saying sir, and quite frankly I do know what I'm talking about. I work ICT for a North American wide company and regularly travel to the states supporting events that require this kind of connectivity.
As for you're sister in law, she probably got that message because a background app was attempting to use data, and it wasn't disabled on the phone, thus the text. This I have also encountered.
Back on topic, I agree there may be a network outage in your area. But if all else fails a visit to the AT&T store can't hurt. Worst case scenario just sell the note on Craig list
Lol here in the US we dont have kijiji, but an alternate called craigslist. I do believe using the sim unlock method plus deactivating data might work. Try using the phone in another area to confirm ices theory of an outage.

OnePlus 2 and AT&T LTE Fix

After getting my Oneplus 2, I went to the store to get my nano SIM as I still had my micro SIM from my OPO. When I went to the store to get my SIM the CSR scanned my OP2 IMEI. Since this is not recognized by AT&T as a known device, you will be unable to get LTE. If you simply swap the IMEI back to a supported device (can be just a demo phone on the floor) and LTE will be restored. Hope this is helpful to some!

So if I just go ask for a Nano Sim and don't let them scan my lmei my lte will work? Which version do you have?
They don't need your IMEI. Just tell them you need a new nano sim.
Then do this: Go to Settings and under Wireless & networks select "More". Then go to Cellular Networks->Access Point Names and change your APN to "ATT LTE / pta". Press the back button on the top left, reboot and walla.
How about if you currently get LTE on your OPO with AT&T, when you receive your OPT shouldn't it be as easy as cutting your sims to a nano size and putting it in the OPT and receive an LTE signal?
Yup, just make sure you have the correct APN selected.
I'm on AT&T and got LTE with no issues. It just took like 15 mins after first installing sim card.
I got LTE just fine as well when I got my OPT. The APN it's currently set on is "ATT Phone".
I got LTE no problems removing my sim from my nexus 6 to the OP2.

I had the same issue coming from the OPO to the OPT. I just went up to the AT&T store and the guy immediately recognized my OPT and got me set up with a new nano sim in less than 5 minutes. He didn't need to look at my phone or old sim. They have everything they need in the system to activate your new nano sim. After installing the new sim it only took about a minute to get an LTE signal and start making calls. Hope this helps!
I'm on Cricket, which is owned by ATT. I got a new Nano, called up Cricket to activate it and I've had LTE since. They did require the IMEI for the OPT however. I did a speed test and managed to get around 6-7MPBS which is normal since Cricket is throttled to 8MPBS on ATT's network.
Out of curiosity, are you guys not getting the LTE icon? Or just not getting LTE speeds?

I strolled into the AT&T store, told them I go back and forth from OnePlus to Note 4 (for work) and that I needed a new Nano Sim. They don't say a word, NOR CAN THEY, so tell them to walk off a bridge if they do.
I got LTE immediately, but I also am trying out the ATT LTE and PTA APNS if anyone has any experience with either let me know which they think works better.
I just cut down and sanded my micro sim from my OPO, then I did the same with my AT&T Hotspot from work. Now I use my sim for voice and the 2nd sim for data since it's on a 100 GB pool that's hardly used.
Got my OPT last week and needed a new AT&T sim card, as my previous phone's was too large. They did scan my IMEI at the store to enable the device on their network. I have been unable to get LTE and I just wasted an hour on the phone with AT&T with a guy that kept putting me on hold to speak with his supervisor. At the end he told me that unlocked devices are not compatible with the AT&T LTE network.
I am waiting for a call back from a supervisor now.
Any suggestions as to what I should ask AT&T to do to enable my LTE at this point?

That's crazy. I bet your outcome would be different if you call back and talk to a different rep. I walked in and had them give me two nano sim cards without any hesitation. The guy did say he thought this phone was China only, but that's it. Took about 5 minutes.

LG V10 H901 not working on Freedom Mobile

Hey All.
So, I purchased the LG V10 (H901) from eBay. It doesn't work on Freedom. The specs say that it has the 1700/2100 AWS bands.
The phone is NOT blacklisted, as I made calls from it while roaming.
The phone is NOT locked, as I used sim cards from 2 different carriers (Telus / Rogers), and it connected fine.
When I tried to use a Freedom Mobile sim card, it didn't connect, other than roaming.
Before I purchased the phone, I called Freedom tech support, and asked them if this phone will work. The tech said that it should, and to confirm via the website, which I did.
I thought I had a bad sim card, so I changed it, and tried several sim cards, and still, no luck.
I don't know what's going on, but if anyone has any ideas about why I can't use this phone on Freedom Mobile's network, then I would really appreciate all the help I could get.
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem. Right now it's just a paperweight.
This so called h901 was in fact a refurbished f600s (South Korea). So everything shows 901 (box, sticker under battery), 5.1.1 t-online firmware installed, but the board is from a f600s. You can install the proper firmware for the f600s, but it will come with some bloatware from a Korean carrier.
I have the V10 t mobile version. It works on Freedom Mobile. I also get LTE. Have you texted to 41111 and texted the word Setup. This will send the proper apn files to install.

I'm not sure whether it works in roaming I'll be able to know for sure only with the next patches because I am not 100% sure.
as far as I understand so far that the inserted sim card activated service and linked up to the IMEI and phone number and must be located in the US and be connected to ATT towers and done one android update, the first time if the phone is upgraded in the US every next one it should able to in roaming with the same card.
so it’s a little tricky for us who aren’t in the US and expensive, so it's best for someone to picture updae url who is in the US at least it's not hard for someone who have v60.

well, i bought a att prepaid card month ago, from US to China Mainland still shipping.
If there is someone who has the ATT sim and is in the USA and has not updated so far on android 11 please contact me.
Would it work if I had a VPN and the prepaid AT&T card? My thinking is that the update comes across wifi anyway, so if I VPN there's no way AT&T servers would know I'm not in the US.
