Also thanks for any and all help
Hey guys I have tried searching the forums but I can't find a clear answer, if I was to get a tmobile galaxy 4 that doesn't have 4.3. Is it possible to root it and get it to work on Verizon's network?

Well I answered my own question , I'm assuming it's not possible. I just bought a galaxy s4 running 4.2.2 and I'm going to try and root it, been reading like crazy but if I run into trouble and need help, I hope someone will help me.. Trying to do the right thing but no one seems to answer me.

Looking at the bands on gsmarena, I would say that isn't going to work. That variant doesn't have CDMA bands. The reason Verizon to Tmobile/ATT works is because the Verizon phone has the CDMA/GSM bands.

Is there anyone who can answer my query. I bought an unlocked samsung galaxy note 3 sm n900p from eBay India. Everything is working fine but the main thing calls are not working properly.. The other person can't hear my voice 4 out iof 5 times. Signal cuts off all of a sudden to no service and then again gets the signal. What should I do. I tried factory reset, cache partition wipe and what not but nothing worked. Can anyone help.
Any viable suggestion Wil do. I want it to work perfectly in India. I am in love with this phone
I spoke to a smartphone repairer who has great experience about what I am facing about signal strength. I clearly told him that the best networks are not able to hold the strength and signal strength falling from - 89 dbm from 0 dbm at once and gaining again.
He said this is a problem with sm 900p sprint lte model and it's a bad choice on my part. That I made a mistake by buying it. I asked is there any way I can get it repaired and he said it's not a problem in hardware or software but compatibility in India.
Should I just take his word as final or should try better sources?

Still on the grandfathered unlimited data plan with Verizon, so no tethering in my plan without Foxfi, etc., which was blocked a while back. With the S7edge, we could do that trick where you eject the sim and enable tethering if you time it right when you push the sim back in... Going to need to find a way to get tethering again... sigh.
I could tether fine with my unlocked Note 8. No FoxFi was required. I just started hotspot from the settings. I am on the grandfathered unlimited plan as well.

If you order thru Samsung website and get the unlocked version there is no WIFI hotspot check so it works right out of the box, plus its cheaper than ordering thru Verizon.
Yea, I'm aware of the unlocked option, though I have heard some reports of some carrier specific features such as VoLTE, voice of wifi, visual voicemail, etc. not working on the unlocked version.
Anyone w/ grandfathered umlimited data on Verizon that has their S9+ that has tried this trick? Picking mine up on Friday...
I've got gUDP with an unlocked s9+ from BB and tethering worked today.
Unlocked S9
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but just confirming I understand what you guys are saying. With an unlocked Galaxy S9 you can tether right out of the box if you still have the grandfathered unlimited data plan? Is all you do is swap sim card from your old phone? How do you get future os updates and are they going to be updates that won't affect this tethering access? Thanks

That would be updates pushed to unlocked S9/S9+ phones. Those are generally a bit slower than carrier updates, but they do come from Samsung.
Thanks for the info
S9+ unlocked on the way
My S9+ unlocked is on the way, is there anything special I need to do with it after unboxing or just insert sim card, power up and open hot spot? I really appreciate the expert advice from you guys since my knowledge about this stuff is very limited.

Yes all i had to do was insert my verizon sim, and open hotspot and it worked. Now the only thing im missing from the Verizon model is wifi calling, i never used that anyway so its no big deal for me.
Thanks again, just wanted to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Really appreciate the quick response.
Returning S9
Cannot get Wifi to work on the new S9 from verizon. I did a quick search before buying which said foxfi worked but alas NOPE.
So I am going to return the phone to verizon and just wait I upgraded from s4 which was nice for a week!
I have grandfathered unlimited data so my options are limited.
Bought an unlocked s9 plus straight from Samsung and my hot spot worked right away like the guys on here said it would. I don't believe a Version version will let you unless you pay for one of their tethering plans.
Verizon - Samsung S9+ - Unlocked?
I'm picking up my phone through Verizon but they said they would unlock it. I currently have the Galaxy S7 and was doing the sim card trick. Has anyone else tried with the S9+? But if I get "unlocked" I'm wondering if it will work as you guys have mentioned here. So clutch to have your own hotspot when there isn't one or its slow.

Use the unlock version or flash the U1 firmware to get hotspot working
Side question...
I see a stock firmware collection website at www . getdroidtips . com / samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-stock-firmware /
and wondering if it is possible to install stock firmware (without unlock) on a carrier-locked S9/S9+ so that can enable tether on a grandfather unlimited account?
Note: I am on AT&T grandfather unlimited plan and AT&T does not allow me to tether.

All firmware are carrier branded,
To bypass AT&T tethering you can either use an APP or use the U1 firmware.

Hi Kevin- I verified with verizon that i have an unlocked phone but they said with my old grandfathered plan (been with verizon over 10 years) I would have to pay $30 for tethering. Is this a good tutorial to flash the U1 firmware to U?

What firmware are you on? Is it bootloader v1 or v2?
I have read through many threads and I cannot find a direct answer. As it is stated in the title I have the Galaxy unlocked s9+that I bought from Samsung. I am currently on AT & T network because T-Mobile is terrible here in North Carolina where I am currently living. Can I flash ATT firmware on this unlocked version of the S9 plus and use Wi-Fi calling and volte? If there is a definite yes to this question then I will try to find the ATT firmware the flash on this phone.

The answer is yes.
The firmware can be found pretty easy by looking in the forums or by looking on sammobile.com
Also, make sure you are flashing the same version of firmware. So if your device last digits are ARF4, then you want to flash the ARF4 AT&T firmware.
I have a question for this unlocked version from samsung.com. i I use it with Tmobile is the wifi calling, Volte, will work out of the box? or i have to do the same thing as flashing tmobile firmware? and also if I flash do i have to root? TIA. and also if there is already a thread for this question kindly post the link.

Yes if you use it on T mobile, the wifi, Volte will work out of the box. I was on T Mobile but because of coverage I had to switch to Att.

FYI Sammobile requires premium account for fast download and with free account download speed is throttled to 15kbps. Try https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model for the firmwares with fast download.

Since this is an unlocked phone not purchased from ATT, WiFi calling and other features wont work even on a regular post pay account. I had to call ATT and give them my IMEI from my previous ATT branded s8+ before wifi calling and smart caller ID and other features would work. I told them it was an ATT phone that i purchased at Best Buy and i read about WiFi calling problem in a forum and that using a different IMEI worked for others. The tech said it's worth a try and she changed it and ive been good to go ever since. I fumbled around the question of "is this an unlocked phone?" i said no, it has ATT logo (it does at boot, but not on the back lol) and i purchased it for ATT. That was good enough for them.
Many others with unlocked U1 phones have done the same thing and ATT has changed IMEI on their side. It doesnt change your phones physical IMEI, just their end. I saw a post where one operator said they wouldnt or couldnt do that. If they tell you no, call back you'll likely get a different person and they might change it. Main thing is you have to have an IMEI from an ATT branded phone that supports the same features (s8,s7,s6, etc) Luckily for me i have a like new s8+. It's worth much more than what they offer for trade in so i kept it. Glad i did.
Yes, I saw those posts as well but currently I do not have an ATT branded phone. So, I went and put the unlocked firmware back on the phone and I will just keep it the way it is. If the new iPhone that is coming out has the T-Mobile band 71, I probably will jump back to the iPhone. This was my first Android in about 4 years. I am kind of disappointed that it won't work.
