[Q] Question about buying unlocked Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want a N3 and found a guy selling one and is unlocked. I am with VZW so will an unlocked N3 work on their system and function 100% with 4G and all?

[Q] Sell or return my ATT note 3 for T-Mobile version?

I am currently debating whether I should return or sell my AT&T Note 3 and get a T-Mobile version to be used on AT&T network. The fact it is bootloader locked really bothers me. What is the chance of root ever be available for this device?
Also, Can I walk into a T-Mobile store and purchase a note 3 without service?
There are so many people doing it and lots of discussion.

[Q] Anyone here bought Unlocked Note 3 for Tmobile/Metro

I'm on MetroPCS and I want to move from an S3 to a Note 3. Now I've heard there are problems with KNOX so I don't know if this should be a deciding factor or not.
Should I settle for a Note 2 since it would be cheaper or should I move on to a NOte 3. It seems finding one that's 4G and region free is impossible these days.
Has anyone here successfully used an unlocked Note 3 on TMobile for LTE. If so, can you link me the store.

[Q] Using Unlocked Phone

first, sorry if i'm questioning same/similar type of question, but had to ask!
if I buy UNLOCKED S5 or NOTE3 phone,
could this be used in VERIZON WIRELESS (USA)?
seems like NOTE2 and S3 has SIM card in it for Verizon.
(http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/Samsung/6056.html#)
wondering if i could use them with unlocked phones.
Thank you for your help.

Unlocked bootloader?

Does anyone know which carriers will sell the edge+ with unlocked bootloaders? Will it fall along the same lines of TMo & Sprint unlocked, AT&T & Verizon locked? I need root, so I would like to understand this up front.
I have been buying TMo phones & taking them to AT&T because of this.

AT&T and Verizon have not released a Samsung superphone in a few years with an unlocked bootloader. The Edge+ and Note 5 will not be any different.
As of today, I don't think Verizon or AT&T Note 4 have permanent root for Lollipop.
So I wouldn't suggest buying this phone if you think you'll have root within a few weeks of release.
Though Verizon does often release a "Developers Edition" version of these phones within a few months. These are phones you pay full price for and can root/ROM.

Will this Galaxy s5 work on gsm networks/

Hi there friends , i see on amazon.com that there are new galaxy s5 verizon phones that are unlocked and for only 200$. So after i broke my s5 sprint variant i am planing to buy one on verizon.

Anyone got any info?
I've used my G900V with a couple different MVNOs on ATT and it also worked on T-Mobile. It will get LTE if you have the coverage for it. Should mention that I did mess around some with unlocking bands but I don't know if that was necessary in the end. Here are a couple band unlocking threads if interested:

The Verizon version on Marshmallow is more difficult to work with than the Sprint version when it comes to rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
I've used a carrier unlocked g900v for about a year now it works on at&t networks and t-mobile networks just fine I get edge through 4g lte service connectivity on cm based roms
Bootloader unlock method by getex works on kitkat through Mm firmware and only Cid 15 devices can get bootloader unlock oh and check out Groupon for carrier unlocked Refurbished g900v there normally cheaper than amazon for Refurbished phones
