We were given a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE by one of our customers. But we can't use it, as it is apparently locked to their mobile company, so it can't use a sim card for danish carriers.
I am told that the only way to fix this, is to root the phone. But what is needed and how do I do this? I don't need any extra features at all, just the lock removed.
I hope someone can help.
Ok, so im on sprint, have a note edge. My work phone is att. Can I just swap the sim in my s4 active into a att gear s and not have the phone anymore? I never use it, its turned off and forwarded to my sprint phone.

Yes, it's that simple. You may have to cut your Sim down to nano size.... But that's about it. Use the S4 to do the initial set it up and install any apps, but once you move the Sim to the S, it will do all the functions you need to be a standalone device... And carry one less phone.
For me, not having to always carry and worry about 2 phones, has been great!!!
Good luck
Sweet! Ill get rid of this verizon model and get an att or unlocked one.
Thanks
sorry I'm confused by that - can you elaborate?
note edge + work phone + S4 active + Gear S = 4 phones?
kill the S4 active, put the sim in the gear S and use that with the note edge - now = 2 or 3 phones ??
optimum number of bikes = n+1 where n is the number you currently own
optimum number of phones / devices = n-1 where n is the number you currently own
thanks
Ill only have the edge and gear s. Edge is my personal phone, gear has my work phone sim in it.

Not confusing at all
OP has a personal Note Edge on Sprint. A work phone (S4 Active) on AT&T. And currently a Verizon Gear S watch. So, he is going to ditch both the S4 Active and Verizon Gear S and purchase a new Gear S to use his S4 mini's SIM card.
There isn't any unlocked Gear S for sale that will work with US carriers with the exception of Canada models (but those are rare). International versions won't work in US at all. So, your only choice is AT&T or T-Mobile version. Since T-Mobile version is locked (and not easy to get an unlock code) and costs more than AT&T version, it seems a no brainer that only AT&T version fits bill.

I was able to unlock my AT&T Gear S by buying it off contract and asking AT&T for the unlock code. I'm a customer of them so I don't know if that helped.
Hey, Wanted to know if there was a way to flash the software on my Galaxy s9+ from xfinity to tmobile so that I can get all the tmobile features.
what feature of tm are you looking?
Honestly all. I just wanna remove all the Xfinity logos and stuff.
Different question but as you have one, can you get yours to connect to xfinity wifi secure? Can connect to sfinity open but not secure.
Should be able to flash to the U1 unlocked firmware. I heard things like VoLTE, WiFi calling, etc. will work on that with T-Mobile. You could flash to the T-Mobile firmware as well but you need to flash unlocked first.
After using an Unlocked S8 U1 on AT&T for the past few years, I decided to get the S9+ (since I don't care for the S10).
I order two S9+ (renewed) from Amazon: the AT&T S9+ model (G965U) and the Unlocked Model (G965U1), since I wanted to see if VoLTE and WiFi Calling would work on my Pre-Paid plan.
The AT&T G965U does work fine with VoLTE and WiFi Calling, but the unit has some nasty fall marks on it, and the volume buttons don't work well, so it's going back.
The Unlocked G965U1 only has a few minor screen scratches, but overall is in better condition than the AT&T G965U, but VoLTE and WiFi Calling doesn't work.
So I'm not sure what to do.
I can clearly hear the difference in Call Quality between the model with VoLTE and without (HSPA calls).
It's too bad AT&T still won't allow VoLTE on non-AT&T Branded Samsung phones.
I have read countless posts on S9/S9+ Firmware and CSC flashing with ODIN (which I'm familiar using) but I can't find a definite answer on if there's way to take an Unlocked S9+ U1 and flash it so that VoLTE will work. I know WiFi Calling won't work, since the IMEI has to be on AT&T Whitelist.
As of right now, the S9+ is on the latest firmware G965U1UEU7CSJ3.
Just to give an update. I was able to flash the S9 Plus G965U1 Unlocked model with the AT&T CSI5 firmware as shown in the Guides section. After that, the S9+ was able to use VoLTE and WiFI Calling on my AT&T Prepaid plan.
I had also ordered a (used/renewed) Note 9, and when I got it, it had Verizon firmware on it. So with it I had to flash the Note 9 first to the U1 Unlocked firmware and then to the AT&T U firmware.
So with both the S9+ and Note 9, I can get VoLTE and WiFi Calling to work.
Now I just have to decide which one I want to keep, as the S9+ was $348 and the Note 9 was $390.
I like the S9+ since it's not as heavy and more comfortable to hold, and it seems like the (smaller 3500mAh) battery lasts longer (not sure why). But I like the features of the Note 9 (S Pen) since I had the Note 2/3/4/5 years ago and miss those features.
I have an unlocked S9 and am on AT&T Prepaid.
I am playing a video about Odin right now.
Okay so I plan on switching to T-Mobile Within a week from now and I want to get a new phone when I switch. I want to get the international version of the S9 Plus but I'm not sure how compatible it is with the T-Mobile network. Will the international version of the S9 Plus work with the T-Mobile network? And also I want it to be able to root the phone because I know the Snapdragon version of the S9 Plus has a locked bootloader. Any advice?

all USA model Galaxy phones with snapdragon processors have locked bootloaders. The F variant is what you want and yes, they work just fine on t-mobile. at&t too.
