Yes they pulled it. Could have posted in T-Mobile firmware thread.

We need carrier specific forums like the s8 and all previous Galaxies. I Wonder why no carrier specific forums for s9? It would for sure help with stuff being posted in the right places. I heard there was an ATT RC6, Where might one find that? Also need a U1 Unlocked section as well. At Least separate the exynos from the snapdragon since NOTHING is interchangeable. Two completely different phones.

I can see having forums for different model numbers, but from what I understand, all of the US carrier versions have the same model number, which means you can interchange the firmware. For instance, I'm running the ARC6 (TMobile) on my ATT device.
While I've had no luck on all of the other firmware out there, whether it's a Google Pay or Samsung Pay issue (I need both), it's nice to have options.

Then there should be a G96XF/N and G96XU/W/U1 sub forums.

How can I flash 2ARC6 over 1ARB7 on my S9 on T-Mobile?

Yes, but you will be stuck on v2 bootloader. Once you go to ARC6, there is no going back.

I have seen other threads but my question is a little different. On my T-Mobile Note 3 using on ATT it would not connect to the Free ATT Wifi hotspots. Will the TMO S5?

It will if you flash a AT&T rom. I don't know exactly what AT&T checks. It could be the model number, IMEI, sim card, even an app installed on the phone. But the best bet would be to install an ATT rom.

Considering the ATT device isn't rooted I'm not sure what you could flash. I don't see anything in the ATT rom sections. They would have to flash an international one.
I have one and haven't tried it yet. I do have the AT&T Hotspot app installed. I'll try it when I get a chance.

Hi Guys,
I was looking to purchase this phone off of ebay for my mom. We are on the t-mobile network but since VZN Note 2s are supposed to be unlocked I was looking at them too. However, I'm looking at them and there are quite a few Verizon Note 2s around/under $200 on Ebay. Is that where the phones value is now? I thought they would be around $250 at least. The one thing all of these have in common are that they are the Verizon models. The tmobile models are still pretty high. Is there something wrong with this model? Are these like those fake chinese clones? Or is the value just at that and I should buy it ASAP? I don't want to throw money down for some random clone

Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob, Does that just mean that custom software can't be installed on it? Like I said my mom is going to be using it so it will probably stay on stock.
Correct, no custom roms or root...depending on what version the phone comes with. What did you mean in your op when you said 'unlocked'?

aren't they unlocked to use sim cards since they are world phones? I know i have to change up the APN to get tmobile data but I don't need to put in random codes or anything right? I'm getting my info from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449

Step one in that guide says 'ensure your phone has root' That is game over if the note 2 has the latest update. You can't root it.

What about Method 1? Or is that not possible at all cause its a custom rom?
Method 1:
See Adrynalyne's post below (Post #2) for a flashable mod (via custom recovery) that will enable the Add APN menu by removing Verizon's block. (For deodexed roms only)

That requires a deoxed rom, so the note would have to be bootloader unlocked and had a deoxed rom flashed.

Yes they are sim unlocked all you have to do is pop the sim in and add the correct apn's although you'll only get 3g and H+ (no 4G lte)

No offense to that guy but he's wrong bc I and many other put their Verizon note 2 on other carriers with no issues (see forums like note 2 on other carriers there plenty of them)
Now as far as the whole bootloader deal goes for custom rom and root depending on the android version but just to use it stock on another carrier it's sim card unlocked out of the box no root or custom rom needed
I had my Verizon note 2 with a locked bootloader android 4.3 on straight talk (att sim) for months no problems

If you unbrand your phone, does that network unlock it? Sorry for the newbie question, but I genuinely don't know!

Nope. Just removes the branding and network provided bloatware.

As long as the firmware you want to flash is bootloader version 2. Look at the last five digits of the version. You're running 2ARF7. So you can run anything that also has 2 there. For instance, 2ARBG.
Hi, I've noticed that PhoneMore lists all the same bands for the G9650 as the US issued G965U, including the CDMA bands that are not present in international variants. Does this actually mean that the G9650 will work on Verizon in the US?

Curious as well, looking at this model and unfortunately im stuck with Verizon
Yes it will work. Just needs some fixing up to work. I know a guy that has done this on the s8/s8+ and the note 9 models.
I plan to get this model very soon as well to start working with.
I know several guys that will be getting it including @stang5litre

More like carrier versions have started receiving the update, whether the carrier versions are sim locked or unlocked has nothing to do with it.
And yes, US unlocked version still hasn't seen the update as of yet.

Forgive my ignorance I have been team Pixel for many years. I am using unlocked phone on Verizon. So I am waiting for unlocked update correct? The carrier is not relevant

Yes you will get when Samsung pushes the update for US unlocked model. Which carrier you use the US unlocked model is irrelevant.
Received on Snapdragon AT&T last night. Not seeing much of a difference though.
