would rebel sim work on 2.2? im also having trouble on how to start with the upgrade to 2.2

yes you can use a 2.2 rom with rebel sim , u just got to download steves no baseband rom , go the steves thread on info on how to upgrade to that rom if you decide to buy a rebel sim , either way steve or someone in that thread can help you guys out , don't sell it , phone is outta this world

sweet man thanks alot for the advice. I think youve convinced me to keep it =). Im really experience with iphone unlocks but im new to all these android thingy. I read DJ Steve's thread but im a bit confused. Do i need anything installed on the PC or mac in order to upgrade?
also would there be a chance the device would BRICK?

I bought might and returned right away once I found out that unlocked version (come pre-loaded with froyo 2.2) is sold online @Dell.com. Luckily, my cousin in the states helped me bought one and I should be getting it end of this month.
Ok Rogers is now releasing the codes for the Streak. It's the only sure way I know of unlocking with code.
does the phone "Have" to unlocked to update roms?
No but it does have to be rooted.

Hi all,
I got so excited today to get the new ICS update. But as soon as it was done, I got this weird looping restart. I have no idea what is causing it. I tried to update and I tried the emergency update like it's mentioned in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731654
Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong?
To make things worse, now I can't even connect to Kies!
Help me obi-wan kenobi, you're my only hope

Reread the post above yours. He put everything there FOR YOU. If the answer is not there it will be, ask THERE. Oh and spread the word it will help everyone else out too. Probly the most useful thread in AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717.
I was on that thread first and they were getting way off track. I wanted a solution to my problem, not an analysis of a black crush test, whatever that is.
Do we REALLY want ALL ICS posts on ONE thread? Imagine having all gingerbread posts on one thread. It makes no sense.
Pretty sure I had a similar problem to yours. It kept popping up a message "com.apple.phone won't launch" or something similar and would go in a bootloop.
Might've done it totally wrong but when I updated I still had CWM (so go flash CWM?) then wipe data wipe cache factory reset and everything should work.

Only thing that worked was this, full wipe and then it got better. Now it works great
The method in the second post of this thread worked great for me. I first tried installing the odin download and it would just boot to the samsung screen and stay there, so I did the emergency software recovery through Kies following the steps EXACTLY as given and had the upgrade loaded and running fine. 5 minutes later rooted and superuser installed.

Perhaps you should have bothered to read that this is the SGH-I777 forum before flashing, not the SGH-I727 forum? Flashing anything meant for I777 on I727 will kill the bootloaders and hardbrick the device. JTAG time for you - mobiletechvideos.com can probably help you.

the rep is not gonna be that smart to check, as long as you get a new one and walk out the door they cant say anything.
Smart enough to Post this in the right section, but not smart enough to not flash a ROM for a different phone from a different section of the forum...
YDI?
Take this as a learning experience and learn to READ THE POSTS/FORUM SECTION BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING that could potentially ruin your 500$+ smart phone?
I know they were working on a way to unbrick NA SGS 3's through the Toolkit, but i'm not sure how far they actually got with it.
You might be boned though....

Look in the device manager. Is it still showing as a phone or QHSUSB DLOAD? If its showing as that Odin will detect it but it won't talk to it. In other words consider that the kiss of death cuz its a paperweight. Based on the info providing u need JTAG. Or a return. Another one bites the dust.....

I feel all of your pain. I'd fall down & cry in the middle street if my phone would come back alive. I just gave $599.99 on June 26th of this year. Mine is graveyard dead too. I have a jig too and it does nothing on my phone after this.
The phone beeps? Can you better describe whats happening and on what machine?
No offense, but I don't understand your logic. The price you paid is irrelevant. You ostensibly bought a working product, which you immediately attempted to modify, and you made a mistake and broke it.
It seems to me that you're trying to assign blame to someone other than yourself.
To the OP, you could try a JTAG. I suggest coming clean to your father outright - accept responsibility and move forward with a solution.
If the JTAG doesn't work, Samsung may or may not be willing to repair it for a price.
Good luck.

No, not at all. The computer tries to connect to it over & over and it wants me to to reformat one drive over & over as long as it connected. It's bricked.
It is completely hard bricked. I had the same exact thing. From flashing the same exact rom. About 2 weeks ago.
The phone shows no sign of power whatsover. When you plug it in to the PC however, it asks if you want to format E... then again.. and again... keeps repeating until you unplug the phone regardless of if you click yes or no, it will keep asking until there are hundreds of windows that all say "Do you want to format E"
Mobiletechvideos did infact fix it with their jtag repair, but this is THE ONLY way to fix. Jig does not work.
Sorry bud but I know your exact feel. Because I seriously did this exact same damn thing 2 weeks ago

JTag will still fix it dude. It will cost you $50 but.. that's 1/12th what you paid for the phone so... Head to mobiletechvideos and have em fix it up for you.

Brad, that makes as much sense as anything. I plan on only using links from here from now on. Seems to be safer.
JTAG is the way to go.... I installed an international ROM to my rogers note. Total hard brick. It wouldn't do a thing. Sent it to mobile tech videos and they sent it back 100%. Well worth the $50...... good luck.
my phone also got hard bricked.. can u say how to recover my galaxy note i717

If your phone is hard bricked and shows no signs of life you will need a JTAG service. The one that I know of is mobiletechvideos.com and its going to cost you about 50 bucks
