Is there a way to re-flash the 717M to be a 717R?
Like can I take a rogers stock rom and load it on and make it a 717R?
I know that wouldn't unlock the carrier. I unlocked the carrier via IMEI number already though. I just want to get rid of the bell bloatware and have rogers bloatware instead. Will the stock rom from a rogers note actually get me to have a boot screen that says 717R?
I couldn't find anything in a search of someone trying to do the same thing?
If flash a stock Rogers software on a bell note, it will boot up with Rogers boot screen and have rogers apps. I have a telus note installed with bell software.

I am a little confused with the note, i see what i believe to be 4 different versions of it.
i have a stock rogers note, what rom can i use, what root method, what recovery, what kernel.
is mine the same as at&t and should just follow anything that is for the at&t version?
i don't see ics coming to rogers any time soon so might as well get it over with and flash ics.
as for warranty, i see a flash count reset tool, will that realy fool them and allow for warranty repair?
and with that tool available, should i care if my flash count goes up with the normal root methods since i can just reset it to 0 later?
Hardware-wise, the Rogers Note is the same as the AT&T Note and the ROMs will work with both. Only thing to keep in mind is that the ICS ROM available us built off the AT&T leak and does not allow access to some Canadian apps.
I would also suggest flashing CWM first, then back up your unmodified stock ROM, radio, and boot image to reflash later if Rogers decided to release ICS. Let me know if you need any help with that.
I have a pair of Verizon XT912's. One has been flashed with the nTelos stock firmware for the XT912 that they carry and has the ability to be activated and used on the network with all functions. It also does not search for the verizon 4g SIM. I have already done a nandroid backup on that phone and wrote it to the one that had verizon stock firmware. The firmware has been changed to ntelos on that second phone, but the radio is still stuck on Verizon. What I want to know is if there is a way to copy the nTelos radio and all of its CDMA settings to the Verizon one and have everything work?

Just a few questions. Running Tmobile stock rooted on the I717 is great but makes me a bit nervous as to what i can and can't do with this phone. I am running the UVLG3 with the T879UVLG3 baseband. and just got an update notification. so was wondering.
1. If i update will it brick the phone. tmobile update as that is what the phone id ID'd as.
2. If i do update and all goes well, i am sure root will be gone. Can i just odin recovery image and flash root through that?
3. if there a way to get the phone to not receive the updates on this rom?
4. Since i have the Tmobile modem, can i flash 4.2.2 ATT roms or any other ATT roms or will that cause issues?
Thanks for the help, just want to get rid of the annoying update reminders in the notification bar.
Due to there being no root at the moment for the latest update MJ7, is there a way to get the Verizon S4 to work with a T-Mobile simcard. I know it has global mode on the phone, but is there a way to install tmobile rom on it or something in order to get it working like a tmobile S4?

There's lots of threads about this. For example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46357210&postcount=1
Try searching this forum for "t-mobile".
I actually just popped in my Tmobile sim card and it told me that it is a forign sim for me to turn on Global mode, which I did. I then set up the Tmobile APN settings and got the 4G up and running.
See attached screenshot.
My phone is rooted stock on the very first original ROM (forgot the version). I asked Sprint for GSM unlock, they sent the request, but it didn't go through. The "UICC unlock" option does nothing. Could it be because I'm rooted and/or on an old ROM? I didn't tell Sprint rep about the root.
Idk probably the root it mess with the system try flashtooling back to ZV4 and then try it but dont ota to ZV6 or else you'll lose root. Alsi they code/ method may be bad. What carrier are you trying to go to?

Thanks for the advise. I just figured out the problem- I froze a lot of bloat with TB, and it affected UICC. unlock. I did it a while ago, and it didn't occur to me right away to defrost before attempting to unlock.
I'm thinking about traveling to South America and want to use a local SIM card while over there.
OK well have fun, glad it works
However I'm not sure how to check that the unlock actually worked. When Sprint network is available, the phone will use it regardless of the SIM. I tried to install a T-Mobile SIM from friend's phone, and my phone came up with red X SIM icon in the status bar- the same as with no SIM.
Spring does not support unlocking.
Sprint does not support domestic sim unlocking but will allow international unlocking.
If you want to use another carrier then try out cloudyg3 1.2 rom or cm11 rom. You can use any carrier with them. Or else you have to modify your build.prop file and replace the ro.carrier.target from SPR to spr using the rom toolbox app and then you get a unlocked gsmphone.
