Need Help With Android 8.0 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I have an Verizon Note 8 that was unlocked for any network. I am using it on Page Plus network but the advanced LTE calling features are disabled. The phone has N950USQS5CRI4 rom. What I would like to know is it possible for me to downgrade to a version of Android 7 Nougat by any means even if it includes rooting or turn on the LTE features. I would appreciate any help and step by step details.

No you absolutely cannot downgrade back to Nougat and it will not work if you try.. All Verizon phones are already unlocked and do not require you to unlock it since they don't lock it to begin with! You should check your APN settings..

AT&T NOTE 3's Bootloader is LOCKED so for now there is No CUSTOM ROM OR CUSTOM RECOVERY. So NO Tmobile Rom will not work Until somebody find a way to unlock At&t note3's BOOTLOADER.

Thank you for the information. I'll just wait til someone unlocks the bootloader.

[Q] Stock Android for Note 4?

So we all know that Samsung is not gunna release the Android L update for note 4 anytime soon, and I'm getting sick of touchwiz already. I mean, no release date and no news for this update, its disappointing. And honestly, I like stock android so much better
So
Is there any kind of rom, or anything I and many other could do to really get stock android on the Sprint Note 4? I'm dying for stock android on my note 4.
Samsung released L to the carriers a while ago. Its the carriers that are holding everything up.
If you are on sprint then just root and do whatever you want to it. Sprint is not locked down like Verizon and ATT.
You may want to check out the Sprint Note 4 forums.
But is there a way where I can get Stock Android on the note 4?

Yes, if you have an unlocked boot-loader with sprint or T-mobile for example, you can install CM12 which is lollipop.

I've seen this, but how does it work? For example, I don't exactly know how it works when it means to install "GApps". Is there a tutorial on Cyanogen 12 that shows how to do all this? And also, how does the nightly system work? Isn't it a lot of work to reflash Cyan 12 every night?
I'm new to the whole Cyanogen mod, so any help will be much appreciated

Globally sim unlocked n910p, looking for a good unbloated/unbranded/fast minimal ROM.

I'd like to first point out that I use T-Mobile as my carrier.
I had a Sprint S5 unlocked with the same method (Idoneapps global sim unlock) and I was able to flash my gn900p with gn900f ROMS, and it worked great. However haven't attempted to flash my Sprint note 4 n910p with a n910f rom - I read it would brick my Note 4 so havent tried. I did however flash my sprint note 4 with ROM][AOSP][UNOFFICIAL][RESURRECTION REMIX v5.6.5] TRLTESPR MM 6.0.1 [03/23/16] and I couldn' get a network signal and was unable to get into the hidden menu no matter what I tried. Is it possible to flash my Note 4 n910p with a n910f or even a n910t ROM (since I use tmobile)? Or if not possible, how would I get RESURRECTION REMIX v5.6.5 to work with my tmobile sim?
As it stands now I have my sprint note 4 running the latest OBAR ROM, and honestly every thing works pretty good with my tmobile sim. Id just prefer a more minimal Rom, I dont care about s-pen or heartbeat monitor etc., I never ever use that stuff.
Thanks for any input
CM 13 with Slim G-Apps. Daily driver, zero issues. Make sure you use the recommended baseband.
How did you get you n910p globally unlocked?

At&t note 5 and band 12

Hey I'm using an at&t note 5 on tmobile and I was wondering if there was any way to enable band 12? Possibly a root and flash of a tmobile rom?
I'm not sure about enabling band 12, but you will not be able to root or flash a T-Mobile rom to the AT&T note5. The bootloader is locked. This has been talked about a lot on here. Search for more details of you need.

AT&T 8.0 Oreo OCX27.109-47 available, plus a problem

Well, I've been waiting for this to help fix my semi-borked phone and it is now available:
Android File Host Courtesy of the Motorola-Firmware-Team.
I know quite a few have been looking for it as well.
Now here is my issue if anyone can help -
Before I knew what I was fully getting into (this AT&T Z2 Force is my first bootloader locked device) I mistakenly flashed an oreo modem from the retail image to my 7.1 device. This gave me a missing baseband and IMEI, with no wifi or sim. In my attempts to fix it I flashed the modem from Tmobile (oreo) and eventually got wifi back, but not sim. I hoped going to the AT&T Oreo image would give me back sim/cell, but alas it seems the AT&T baseband version is lower than the current TMO on my phone, and both wifi and sim service are gone.
I feel like I need a way to roll back the baseband, but can't with the locked bootloader.
I can flash back to the TMO modem and get wifi, but that is all.
Any insights?
What was the ROM Oreo that you installed before installing the Tmobile?
The ROM that you downloaded is for moto z2 play not for moto z2 force
It is for the z2 force (Nash), just listed under the z2 play on Android file host for some reason.
As for your question, I'm not sure I understand - are you asking which rom I installed before going to the tmo modem? It was the retail Oreo rom, which obviously didn't fully install due to the locked bootloader, but started my journey to finding a working modem as anything 7.1 I tried after the failed retail flash would not work.
In hindsight I could have left the phone untouched at that point and waited for the at&t Oreo files, but I have a tendency to tinker too much...
I settled on the at&t 7.1.1 rom with tmo 8.0 modem for wifi. Now the at&t Oreo rom is available and installed, but it gives me a missing baseband unless I use the tmo modem. Oh well, suppose I will wait for the next at&t update at this point unless someone has any suggestions.
I have a Sprint version coming tomorrow so I'm not as bothered by it any more, and I'm looking forward to the unlocked bootloader.
I tried to download that ROM but do not tell me
When you say the numbering of the At & t ROM It is smaller than tmobile's
I just installed the ROM 8.0 from at & t is working very well, any news I will communicate, thanks for the information
I have a problem with this version the 4g LTE does not grab me
I am having the same issue, did you ever find a resolution for this?

No, unfortunately.
I have a second Z2 Force from Sprint which I use, and this AT&T version exists solely as a mini WIFI tablet. I'm hopeful the 9.0 Pie update will breathe more life into it eventually.
