Verizon Galaxy S6 edge plus w/ T-Mobile sim card

[carlost24]

So I am currently in possession of a Verizon branded S6 edge+ which I am planning to use with TMo, as far as the XDA community I've seen this subsection as well as subsections for the different carries ex. TMo S6 edge+, Verizon S6 edge+ etc I was wondering what the difference was, also was wondering which ssection, my guess is the Verizon subsection as the phone's innards are specific to Verizon's version but I'm just asking before I get Into the rooting (rather be safe than sorry)

Also has any one else done this? Is there any discrepancy with the signal or anything else?

Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks

You can't root the Verizon variant of the Edge +. It's impossible. KNOX will hard brick the phone if it detects the /system partition is modified in any way.

The thread could possibly stay, the next thing that should be answered is, how well does it work on tmobile's network

I don't think it will work. T-Mobile uses GSM technology and Verizon uses CDMA.

working absolutely fine.
Only issue is Verizon S6 edge+ doesn't not use Band 12 which TMobile uses.
So in other words, if you using DATA and phone call comes in, you will loose data, once phone call drop your data is back again.

and you can use 4G not LTE on tmobile network.

Thats my experience.

Thanks,

I have the phone on my hand with a t-mobile sim card on it and it doesn't work... how did you get it to work on tmobile?

Did you add T-Mobile's APN in the settings?

All I did is added the Tmobile APN settings to get my data back, but my voice call works as soon as I put the SIM card IN.

Hmm that's really weird... I've tried everything and nothing... If I put the verizon sim it picks up signal bit if I put the tmobile one I get no signal at all... I have the tmobile apn set and everything but nothing happens... Can you tell me what build number you have on your edge+?

Right now I have AOJ2. The updates for me anyways, have to be done manually. I get both wifi and t-mobile 4G service. What t-mobile APN are you using? I have the fast.t-mobile.com one set.

Does the tmobile sim your using work in any other phones for tmobile or any other. You may need to reactivate the tmobile sim because all verizon phones come with the gsm part unlocked for voice from Verizon so If the sim is valid it should work on voice right away.

Check your advanced calling settings. Im on vzw so i use the advanced calling option for hd voice and hd video over 4g lte so you might have to disable that. Also is the sim card your using work in tmobile lte service or just 3g?

To date has anyone figured out a way to root the Verizon variant of the s6 edge+? I'm currently using on net10 with android 5.1.1

It's impossible. KNOX prevents root. Locked bootloader. Even if you enable "OEM Unlock" in developer options, it still bricks the device and tells you that you warranty is void and you need to buy a new phone.

I know this is old, but you sir have been lying under a rock for the past four years?

Wifi Calling
