The bootloader is locked yes. Another downside :-(

But not rooted a device for a while, so not really an issue for me.

I would have thought you could flash them with Odin perhaps?

Yeah, that's what I thought. I found my model on Samfirmware and I'm up to date at the moment anyway, but should be able to update through Kies if needed. (Or Odin I guess)

Link to samfirmware? Can't find the at&t version on there.

Thanks

Here you go, just search your model number - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

From what I have read the N920A cannot be flashed with anything, even by using ODIN. The general advice is to steer clear of them unless you want to be stuck with lots of AT&T bloatware and a device that is rarely updated by the network.

Just had that update OTA on my SM9208 Note 5

Vita · 22 Oct 2015 at 12:08

Not sure if I got it as my software version says 5.1.1

android-fan · 22 Oct 2015 at 12:20

Managed to get rid of my N920A, thankfully!

Ebay have a 20% off (max £50 discount) offer later this afternoon, may use that to buy the N920C model. Anyone recommend a UK seller with quick delivery ?

How do you get the discount?

It's all over Hotukdeals at the moment;

Hopefully adding in a link isn't against any rules ?

android-fan · 22 Oct 2015 at 12:47

Item number 351511920337 looks promising - plenty of good feedback mentioning quick delivery on the Note 5. Will work out at £395 if the discount works?!

I don't see one for a note 5

Think you're missing the point - you can purchase anything and apply the code, which will be available after 4 pm.

Ah ok - Cheers

Cosimo · 22 Oct 2015 at 13:02

It appears that it will be for everything:

and the code will appear later.

I'm over that with my videos, photos and music so only a 64GB will do for me.

android-fan · 22 Oct 2015 at 13:08

16gb would be fine with me :-)

Really depends on your own usage, check what you've used on your current phone.
