I have the n976v and would like to flash it to the T-Mobile network to get 5G. Has anyone successfully done it?
You need not flash anything to get 5G working. An unlocked N976v works with TMobile 5G when Verizon unlocks the phone. But the device supports one of TMobile spectrum band which is 28GHz mmwave band, available only in few cities (this was the first 5G band used by Tmobile). Hence as of now, in order to get 5G working you need to be in one of those cities and stand few feet away from the antenna to get the 5G reception. You need not do anything, with default settings your signal icon change from 4G LTE to 5G automatically.

I have just grabbed one from ebay and it's supposed to be unlocked (so many calls with verizon and still can't use a sim that is not verizon -.-) , so I was just wondering to try the combo to tease around but I can't flash the combo file with odin so far xD.
Any tip or hint or instructions that you can share?

If it still hasn't been SIM unlocked from Verizon, then no amount of flashing is going to change that. When you insert a non Verizon SIM, do you get the popup at the bottom that says "Sorry, you can't use this device on another carrier at this time" and gives the 1-800 numbers to call?

Yes, and always that I call to verizon support always the same thing "your device is not locked" or "please check your provider or samsung"
There's no way yet find a tech that knows about it .
EDIT: and I was thinking very serious to pay the 90 bucks for a 3rd party unlock

I know about it ;)

You need to either contact the seller about having it SIM unlocked, or contact a professional business who can do it, or return the device for a refund. I can give a recommendation if you choose the middle option

It's telling you you already have it. did you look at my post a couple of posts ago? was it not listed there? Accounts and Backup>Accounts>samsung>It should be here, in the list.
Nope. Did NOT already have it, and in fact it was absolutely NOT even available until I changed the CSC settings from VZW to GCF.

However, be aware that if you change this setting, it will reboot your phone and YOU WILL LOSE ALL EXISTING DATA WITHOUT WARNING!!!

I have a Canadian Note 10+ here in the UK, still has factory firmware meaning my CSC is Canada, can I change it to UK for Samsung Pay or is it not possible because the only UK firmware is for Exynos?

I have this version of Note 10+ I am in Mexico, I am not really interested in 5G, I can change the firmware for a verizon free one without affecting the other functions of the phone.

I've been off the forums since I got my note 10, but recently encountered an issue, can I get a little help? My N976V took the most recent update and has had continual problems with cell signal, the baseband version is: N976VVRS3WTB3 , can I download the linked firmware and Odin flash it? I've already tried the normal fixes ie. toggle airplane mode, restart, and even factory data reset. Thanks!

Nope. The update that you just did brought a new bootloader version, so you're stuck on it until an OTA fix is issued
