Hello all,
Please help a newb on switching networks! I currently have T-Mobile with my Note 3.
Is it as easy as just switching out the SIM CARD? Or do I have to do something special to use it on AT&T?
If so can you please explain how hard or easy this would be to do?
Thank you!

More information is needed. Which specific model of Note 3 do you have? N900T? N9005? If you have the TMobile branded version (N900T) you will need to get the phone unlocked first before you can use an AT&T SIM card.

I have the T-MOBILE BRANDED version N900T.
I started making payments on it a few months ago. They won't let me unlock it until phone is paid off.
Is there anyway around this?

You are actually in the International Note 3 forum, this question would be better suited in the T-mobile N900T or AT&T N900A Note 3 forum. Luckily for you, I'm running a N900T on AT&T :good:.
Anyway have a look at this thread and it should answer your questions. Don't forget to hit Thanks!

Are there only two of three Korean variants which are unlocked yet? Can the F800S not be unlocked later?

Are you sure that the H990DS Korean variant can be unlocked in couple of month. If H900DS can be unlocked I will buy it in Germany now. But I must be sure that it can be unlocked later.

I'm NOT sure 100%
H990DS is NOT KOREAN
It's Taiwan Dual SIM & S_H_I_T
LINK :
https://www.techwalls.com/lg-v20-model-numbers-differences/
I advice you NEVER DO NOT buy :
H990DS ( DUAL SIM = F_U_C_K it )
BUY BELOW INTERNATIONAL MODEL NUMBER ONLY ( SINGLE SIM ) :
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR
LINK :
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/O81Jn/lg-h990-v20-td-lte-h990tr/countries
I think it will launch in South Africa and Turkey in November

Ok I think you adviced me the Single SIM variant for better custom ROM community here in xda?
Then I will by a Single SIM variant where it's possible to go in fastboot and fastboot command work. I think H918 T-Mobile US version is the best for custom ROM community, right? Or are other Single SIM variants if rooted as good as the H918 variant?
Anyway I will not buy the Dual SIM variant.

Yes you damn right
Single SIM is for developers ONLY
If you can wait one or two month then,
1st and best option is :
International Single SIM :
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR
If you can not wait , then
2nd option :
H918 T-Mobile US
both can be rooted in the near future
do as you wish
I must sleep now
The notion "wait a couple of months" is the most optimistic statement I've read on this topic. Dev's aren't big fans with LG and the ones who are, are typically working on the smaller market SINGLE sim phones like the T-mobile in the US. Root may never come along to the dual sim variant/s and that is just one of the reasons more of the "in the know" type phone users probably WON'T buy this phone. The dev community for LG dual is dead...yet I'm not sure why, this is where more of its USERS are.

Unfortunately I found this thread too late recommending against the dual sim H990DS.
I have one now and it's too late. I needed a dual sim phone as I carry a work phone and a personal phone and was tired or carrying two phone the whole time. I've had my eye on V20 for quite a while now and was excited to see it had all the specs I wanted including dual sim and MicroSD.
Does anyone think there will be a root for this device? I've always rooted my devices and for a number of reasons. Hearing that there may not be root for this model has made me reconsider my purchase.
Any idea guys?
Soon or Later LG will release unlock method for H990DS, I dont care about yet, lets Cyanogen mature on single sim V20s then move to dual Sim when Unlock is available.

Thank you for the quick reply AcostaJA. That is very reassuring.
Once I know there will be an unlock eventually I can live with that. I don't upgrade my devices very often so the idea of being stuck on stock for that duration was making me crazy.
I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod and look forward to their V20 release.
Thank you again!

I'm not too sure where you get your optimism from. LG do not have plans to release the boot unlock for this model...

Interesting list there. The F800K shipped with an unlockable bootloader like the H918?
"Dirty Santa"'s contributions are the F800L, H910, LS997 and VS995 currently. The other V20s are likely to be cracked open soon.

My my, you dislike dual-SIM phones so badly? Currently the H99DS has a AU$2015 (roughly US$1450) bounty, but there isn't yet an organized bounty for the H990 (though there are some disorganized folks who are offering). I imagine both will get broken in the same timeframe (not much more difficult to break both at the same time than just one).

They may in fact do that. So far Dirty Santa has only been applied to 4 devices, but most of what was done is pretty general and I imagine the rest of the V20 devices will follow soon. My fear is someone in LG management will say "Hmm, that merely encouraged them, don't be so lenient this time!" and they won't do so and be a PITA.

Hello. I have been on the forum for days searching for answers for the sprint variant, which is hard to find solid proof of it working completely on gsm. Now for the verizon variant. If I buy a verizon variant will it work fully on GSM carriers like at&t?
Plus can it be fully converted? Including radio, to the US unlocked version? I have done it in the past with the at&t m8, converting it to unlocked variant with s-off, cid change, and ruu. I see tutorials saying to flash unlocked version to then reflash verizon radio. Will it work with unlocked radio? Or is it the same as with the sprint variant, where it always needs sprint radio?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I had read that forum, but since the guide posted says to flash verizon radio, I was wondering if you could leave the unlocked radio. After reading various posts afterwards it seems it is posible to not flash the verizon radio (keep the unlocked radio).

Correct, you can fully convert to Unlocked without flashing anything Verizon afterwards. Im using my Vzw 10 on a gsm network, converted to unlocked.

Thanks. I will look into buying the verizon variant. Did you also have to sim unlock? Or will flashing the unlocked version ruu take care of that? I truely doubt it, but I can not find any verizon unlocking service. And the only 10's I can find are locked to verizon.

Verizon 10 is not sim locked. You can take it, in stock Verizon form, and insert a gsm sim card and it will work. The real benefit of converting to unlocked is to have direct updates, have access to more lte bands, and best of all not have Verizon's bloated OS.
Hey guys long time lurker here. I bought a One Plus 6t from T-Mobile and right after I bought it I did the international conversion.
Now I'm trying to sell the phone and the only way to get it sim unlocked is by using the T-Mobile Device Unlock app for what I personally know.
I downloaded the apk file for T-Mobile Device Unlock but it says not compatible. Is there any way to flashback to T-Mobile software version? Thanks!

Guys,
I have read the whole forum and my understanding is:
My phone is Model HD1925, purchased in B&H.
- there was no option to flash international / stock non t-mobile firmware in 2021 at least. Is it possible to do now?
- if flash international/non t-mobile firmware/rom is not possible, is it a way or need top get rid off from T-Mobile soft ?
- is it another custom ROM which can be installed?
There are several sites, I have found which provide an instructions to flash international firmware, but this is really opposite to xda forum and makes me suspicious.
The phone will be given to a kid, so I prefer to clean it up from unneeded SW and also keep it up to date due to security reasons.
I'm not living in USA and not care about 5G.
The phone is SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked using OnePlus .bin file.
Current version is 11, April 1, 2022 Update.
Really appreciate your help.
Hey, there. I'm sorry to tell you that you can't do that, because the hardware of 1+7tpro International Edition is very different from that of McLaren special edition. Before your release, I have tried to use the 9008 after-sales firmware of Chinese Version (hd1910) to brush into this phone, but unfortunately, this phone can't work, and even entered Qualcomm's crash mode. My suggestion is to use ADB to freeze all programs related to T-Mobile, so, You can enjoy 5g and later OTA updates.
