I just inherited an ATT Note 4 N910A from a family member. It has Android 5.0.1 on it. I was able to unlock it (thanks ATT!). I would like to use it on T-Mobile. I have the TMo SIM installed. The phone hasn't been activated yet. From what I've read so far, the ATT bootloader is locked, so I can't install any CM ROMs - is that correct?
Some questions for those with much more experience than me
- I assume that the phone will update to 5.1.x. Will it install the ATT software also, even though it has a Tmo SIM? If so, is it possible to delete bloat (ATT specific stuff, etc)? What specifically is the bloatware (which apps)?
Thanks much for any help/guidance.
ATT 910A- No root, no unlocked bootloader, no roms. You can run it on T-Mobile, but without an ATT sim, you won't get any OTA updates. You can Odin or Kies the 5.1.1 update.
You won't have root but you can still freeze Bloat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2998294

I got my wife an AT&T a few years ago with my upgrade credit (I'm on AT&T). She's been using it as an amped-up PDA without a phone plan. This weekend, we unlocked it and put it on a T-Mobile pay as you go plan (because it's cheap, let's not get side-tracked with the why's, please). The phone hasn't been updated since she got it (it's still on 4.2.2), and I've convinced her it's finally time to let me do it. We're going to reset the whole thing, anyway, so my question is, will the unlocked AT&T version of the GS4 function properly with the T-Mobile GS4 firmware?
You want to flash T-Mobile firmware to the att s4 or do you want to know if an updated att s4 will work on the T-Mobile network?
I don't think you can flash T-Mobile firmware to the att s4 as this could brick the phone.
Since T-Mobile is transitioning off their aws system, the unlocked att s4 may work without any modification of the phone's modem software.
I recently activated my SM-N910A on my new T-Mobile account. The phone was out of contract, so I asked AT&T to unlock it, and they did. The phone is working properly with my T-Mobile SIM card, albeit on the AT&T firmware.
Is it possible to replace the AT&T firmware with a stock Samsung Firmware, or, at the very least, with the T-Mobile branded firmware (for SM-N910T)? I understand that the bootloader is locked on these AT&T devices. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and load a different firmware onto the device?
AT&T firmware has SO much bloatware, and I've not had any luck finding a way to root the phone on this firmware, so I'm stuck with all that bloat. What are my options here? Thanks!
EDIT: The phone was updated OTA to Marshmallow (6.0.1) when it was on the AT&T network. Build number is MMB29M.N910AUCS2EPH7
We are thinking of switching to TMobile from AT&T. I see the devices are compatible. (Band 2, 4 and 12) And since I'm rooted, I don't have to worry about the OTA updates.
I assume if I take the H910 to TMobile, I will still keep on using the H910 ROMS, or at least the kernel, and if I want tmobile apps, I can prob just flash the bloat apps I would want from a tmobile ROM(apps only, obviously, not kernel etc..)
Is that correct? And what about any carrier specific features? Is it worth spending the $480(v20 on sale) for a new V20 from Tmobile? or would I be happy with an AT&T H910 on TMobile(Basically what problems can I expect)
Thanks!

What you want to do is totally possible. I have a (unlocked) H910 on T Mobile. Everything works fine. Running the NRD90M rom.
I don't have any of the T Mobile apps installed nor will I ever install them.
You sure you getting the right band 12? There is a, b and c I believe.
I'm asking for someone, as they bought an AT&T V35 that is carrier unlocked, but still can not use the hotspot feature. If you have an unlocked AT&T V35 and using it with a different carrier, and have flashed your phone with an unlocked firmware, such as the GoogleFi, is hotspot feature working for you? Thank you.
It works for T-Mobile based MVNOS on ULM software.
