Thinking of getting a note 4 but confused with different versions. What is the best unlocked to root? Is it the n910h? I'm in US on t-mobile network. Or can I root a 910t or 910a versions but the H should be faster?

The h is an exynos version, which I recommend not for rom development and testing. The 'a' version is att and cannot be rooted or modded in any way.
The 't' version works with most F/G ROMs given a data fix and kernel.
You would have a purchase the N910T model if you want to have 4G/LTE Connectivity via T-Mobiles network.
Thanks sounds like the T version is good to root and run on t-mobile.

Has anyone tried installing the international rom on the AT&T version? Aren't the phones both the same? Or can anyone make a port of the international rom like for the Note II? Thanks!
Not sure if it would work. specs are similar though the LTE bands show some differences.

The AT&T version has a locked bootloader so no.

I'll keep this short and simple without being rude. The AT&T Galaxy S4 has a locked bootloader, which means we currently cannot install any ROMs whatsoever. The Canadian variants have unlocked bootloaders, so they might be able to answer your question, but otherwise check back around the end of the month (when we anticipate that we'll have an unlocked bootloader, thanks to djbliss).
Hi,
I have a Note 4 (model N910A) that I was using with AT&T. Recently I moved over to T-Mobile and kept the same phone.
So my phone is 'unlocked' and working fine but I noticed I have a lot of AT&T bloatware still on the phone so I was thinking
of flashing it with a custom ROM; my question is this.....
Should I be following the instructions for a T-Mobile Note 4 or for a AT&T Note 4? Or perhaps it doesn't matter?
Thanks in advance, any help appreciated....
As far as i know if you have n910A model you cant flash custom rom beacuse thier bootlader always comes with lock

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend flash a custom ROM onto your device. As it's specifically design to work on AT&T's LTE/4G bands, so even if you do flash a custom ROM onto it. You are not gonna be able to say put a Verizon SIM into your device and be able to use their LTE/4G bands on your device.
Hey guys, I recently broke my s7e and got a check from Samsung to replace it. I'm looking for try cheapest way to do it and saw a deal on slickdeals with a comment that said:
The Sprint galaxy S7 edge can be flashed to be the 935U version, not sure about the non edge version. All S7 and S7e sold in the US have the same hardware though, so the Sprint version does already have the hardware for the 4x4 MIMO, flashing it to the U version if possible should be enough to put it on parity with the T-Mobile version on most things software wise (including Wi-fi calling I believe) and 100% on par hardware wise.
Yes just root, install custom recovery, download a tmobile rom that has built in aroma installer and you then own a unofficial ALL bands and services for tmobile s7
Is this at all true?

Well you could probably ODIN to different firmwares, but we have a locked bootloader and therefor no custom recovery. Could also try different ROMs on the exynos versions of the phone. But since they're different hardware versions I doubt you would get 100% functional software like wifi calling and VoLTE.

I thought that was the case. It was just really cheap and would be a great way to get another one if all I had to do was Odin the tmo firmware.

Yeah that would be a great idea. I know the phones are identical hardware wise. If I were you I'd do some more research to see if you could flash the sprint phone to tmobile through odin. I think it SHOULD work but having never tried I can't confirm.
I just flashed my Verizon 7 edge to the t mobile firmware and was able to use band 12, WiFi Calling and carrier aggregation. Should be the same for sprint.
Only thing I was told in the Verizon thread was that the firmware for t mobile is baseband 3 and the U firmware is baseband 2 so there is no going back until Verizon or U firmware is undated to baseband 3

Someone told me that Verizon was now in v3 with the latest update, is that not actually the case?

I believe you mean the bootloader v2/v3... not baseband. Baseband is referring to modem.

I've been searching and can't find a definitive way of flashing TMobile firmware to the unlocked s8.

I assume you have US Unlocked S8....
Normally you don't need to flash it with T-Mobile firmware because most of features are supported such as: VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling. If you do decide to flash here is the tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3625817
Yes US unlocked. The TMobile radios are better and utilize the new tech that TMobile uses. I'm assuming I can use just the radios, but there aren't any definite answers.
I am trying to get figure out the same answer.
I also have the G950U1 and would like to flash the T-Mobile firmware to obtain the 256qam and 4x4 radio.
I'm still searching for an answer.
There is also T-Mobile firmware that doesn't have bloatware, but I don't know if it is missing any feature that you guys are looking for. I do have an unlocked S8, but haven't flashed it yet.
I've attempted using both Odin, and the modified PriceComsy Odin to flash the T-Mobile G950u firmware onto the Unlocked G950U1, and it results in FAIL! (DeviceInfo).
Ended up just flashing the modem. Just need to see how this thing works now
In case anyone wanted to know how the T-Mobile modems work on the unlocked variant, I'd say quite well with all TMobile features working

But what kind of speeds did you have before that?
I am going to go off the limb and suggest that flashing the 950u T-Mobile Firmware doesn't give us the 4x4 MiMo Radio and 256QAM. I've not seen a difference in call quality, data speed, or signal strength. Can anyone let the community know what the three TMB/TMB/XAA mean?
This should be a big decision differentiator when selecting between the S8 unlocked and S8 T-Mobile branded device on the T-Mobile network.

The fastest speed that is in the screen shot, half of that. Also I've noticed I don't get random lte to H drops anymore where I normally would in weak TMobile areas.
So i ordered oneplus 6t off ebay fairly cheap it was us version is it compatible in uk and also will the roms work on the us version as good as the global version

You should be fine for the most part. The only difference will be the network band support. You can flash the International ROM. As long as it's not a locked T-Mobile variant.
You'll need to check your network bands of your network provider and the compatibility of the model A6010.
Conversion is easy if need be.
