im confused... which one is better to get between the n9005 and the n9000? which one will run faster? im using red pocket mobile in the u.s. and want to flash roms... obviously im not getting the att version! so which one is better?
Probably the T-Mobile version. Things aren't looking good for an unlocked non branded version either.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to take the rooms and source from the UK version and use it on the att version? I know it will have different chips and chip sets. I'm just trying to get ideas to help me decide which one to get.

No you won't be able to put ROMs from int'l on att
So if you want the best possible dev community, go with int'l

yea. im pretty dam sure pewpewbanbang is correct.
Just look at the SGS2 and it's US counter phones on T-Mo, AT&T, and Sprint.
Look at the Note and AT&T's Note.
I Have the AT&T S4... should I switch to T-mobile S4? (bootloader issues)... I want to make the move before I can no longer return my AT&T S4... any thoughts? I know the AT&T S4 would tend to have more going on in terms of roms and development, but even well known devs are saying stay away from this version... seems like they dont think it's gonna happen soon at all.
From what I read on the T-Mobile forums they are still trying to figure out if the bootloader is locked like ours

right there with you, i've got 13 more days to return-no-questions-asked, just a little butt-hurt i already traded my lovely GS2 in :crying: should have kept that little sucker around until all this washed over. I would go over to HTC One, as it is developer-friendly, but i just can't bring myself to a non-reparable design as these USB ports at the bottom go after time, no swapable batt, and missing micro SD card (love having my pics there in case phone dies, while it's not the ultimate in security, it's at least a small form of backup). Also, the added screen real estate i think is the perfect phone size.
Really hoping the TMob version can be SIM swapped, might not make it to my return date to get confirmation on this....boo
I am thinking of going HTC one. Cant afford to wait a year for potential screw up where Samsung releases an unlock. There will be no unlock for boot loader u less Samsung or somebody working there leaks it.

Figures... now to see if I can buy the T-mobile version without having a t-mobile line. At&T and Verizon dont allow it. Anyone know if they will let you?

This site claims to have the unlocked US T-Mobile S4 available for pre-order. I have no experience with them, but they are mentioned several times in the S4 forums.
http://negrielectronics.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=s4#.UYDASknD_IU
...and for $70 cheaper than the AT&T unlocked S4!

Nice, thanks! My concern is that they are probably talking about sim unlock which is possible on At&T already, I wish we had someone who owns a t-mobile S4 and can confirm an unlocked or unlockable bootloader.
EDIT: Looks like according to the t-mobile forum theirs is unlocked bootloader. Im hoping we can just get the bootloader unlocked by then but if not.. plan B!

Wasn't your original question about where to buy a T-Mobile S4 without having a T-Mobile line? If so, that site claims to have them. If you are planning on using the T-Mobile S4 on AT&T networks it will need to be sim unlocked. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you are looking to buy a T-Mobile S4 without having a T-Mobile line. As far as the bootloader goes, AT&T is locked, T-Mobile is not, but that has nothing to do with a T-Mobile phone on an AT&T line? Maybe I am just not understanding what you are looking for?
So the s6 sucks, gonna get a note 4 note instead. I've been reading all these threads but I'm not sure what variant I'll be getting. I'm on att and want to know if I'll be able to root it and if I'll be able to use custom roms, preferably without using safe strap. Any help/advise would be appreciated.
How about if you go and browse/search Note 4 forums? All this has alrdy been said
I've been, but there's too many forums for different models. The one I think is for the phone I'm gonna get has nothing but a kernel.
AT&T and Verizon variants are not rootable unless you have the Google play developer editions of the phone.

Get the T-Mobile version to run on at&t. There is several threads about why this is your best option.

That's probably not gonna happen since I'm getting it thru my upgrade on att and I'm not switching because I'm grandfather'd in for unlimited data. I can't afford to pay for one out right.
Then there is obviously no question about what Variant you will be getting, it will be the Att one which is as of now unrootable. You will need either a TMo one look in craigslist or an international version.

If that's your only option and want to root I would buy it, sell it immediately brand new in box, and then turn around and buy a T-Mobile version off of CL or eBay as the previous person stated. The at&t version can't be rooted. It has a locked bootloader and it doesn't look like it'll ever be any better.
So I have searched the internet and found no good/complete answers for this, I apologize if it's been discussed.
I purchased an ATT V20 while I still had ATT. I've since switched T-MOBILE. My device is carrier unlocked but plenty of T-MOBILE features seem to look for certain software (i.e. mobile hotspot) that is ATT branded and nonfunctioning. Since o am operating fully on T-MOBILEs bands and what not, is there any way to flash my OS/kernel/etc to essentially make this phone T-Mobile branded. I am aware I will probably need to root if possible during the process, but im not looking for a relationship phone (right meow). Just a better functioning T-Mobile V20.
Thanks!
(Also I know all of this comes with risks, but I am out of the country and unable to get to a store should I brick it, so a good recovery option would be nice, but I think we are still stuck for ATT variant.)
What's a relationship phone? And are you a cat?
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
It would probably be cheaper to see if you can trade the device in to T-Mobile, get the credit for it, and just get a V20 from them.
Possibly sell on Swappa and find a us996 or h918 for around $400 or cheaper on sale.
Was really hoping you all were gonna tell me I could just flash TMobile to it... It seems that's not happening

I don't think it would let you, and if you managed it, you'd be probably dealing with an irreversible brick.
You could TRY to use a Tmo rom but if you flash a Tmo KDZ(somehow) then you will 100% brick with no way to recover.
I did not want to make a whole new post, so I'm asking my question in this thread because it seem to be close to my question. I am getting a AT&T LG-V20 and I want to root it. is there a good reliable root out for this phone?

This only works if your Rom version is under ZV6 and security patch before December 2016 I believe.

ZV6 is Sprint. I think ATT is on 10N.

What? My sprint phone came with zv3. Never heard of 10N either because atnt uses the same version format.

ATT doesn't use the same version format. Look at opensource.lge.com: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H910
I have a sprint galaxy s8, I know already that flashing the firmware of the unlocked version isn't going to unlock my phone, but is there any benefits if I did flash it?

Yes there are. There's some cons too.
Many individuals claim better battery with the unlocked firmware but I saw a small hit tbh. Maybe it's because of the lack of 4x4 and 256QAM.
I personally only use the unlocked firmware because it has a better locking LTE icon that tmobile lol
You can switch SIMs between any carrier
S8 experience
Looking for help on deciding what to do about the note 8. Looking for words of advise from you s8/8+ ppl since you already have experience.
Did not have the note 7 long obviously and honestly did not even realize it was locked down tight. Soooo now i am thinking about buying the international note 8 instead of the us one since i hear it will be able to be rooted. Soooo my questions to you guys
1) what do i lose by buying the international version?
2) what do i gain (other than flsshing) by buying the international verdion.
3) will the international version work on both sprint and tmobile should i decide to switch.
4) what's the best way to buy the international version and what do i beed to look out for. All the s8's on amazon i have seen only appear to work on tmobile.
Thanks for any and all help
