[Q] Please Assist With Galaxy Note! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

My friend has an unlocked galaxy note, and i have a few questions as i am new to this phone, and am new to the whole carrier unlocked deal.
The phone is carrier unlocked and is running on t-mobile, i am afraid use odin to root the device because the files say the are made for the At&t version. The reason im afraid is because if i loose the carrier unlocked status with this at&t file i will be unable to get it back. (money issue) What i would like to know is if i use odin to flash certain files, and to root and install clockworkmod recovery, will i loose the carrier unlock, or mess anything else up in the process.
Also i have searched all over the forum to find out what the "flash counter" is, and have been unable to find out much information on it. Is there a certain number of flashes before it bricks the phone? I'm completely lost...
Can i flash modems, and radios, on the stock rom, because that is what my friends wants. Mainly the reason for doing this is so he can have faster data speeds on T-mobile's network.
Can someone kindly walk me through the process, as iv been doing research for the past couple days and am still totally lost, maybe even include links. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Once unlocked, always unlocked.
The flash counter just counts the number of kernel flashes you do with Odin. Yes you can flash modems on the stock ROM.

Is a modem different from a radio, because I wanted to use the blaze radios to get better speeds? Can I us those on stock.

[Q] Unlocking disables 4G?

Hello everyone
Recently I unlocked my photon, and in the guide of the unlocking ther was an attention that the unlocking is very likely to disable the 4g connection ability of my photon. Could the unlocking be undone so that I will be able to use 4g? Currently none of the carriers in my country uses 4g, but they will start using it soon, and I don't know what to do. Will it one day be possible to unlock without losing the 4g? Will someone release a fix to the problem?
Please tell me!
Thank you!
What exactly was the purpose of you unlocking your phone?
Currently unlocking breaks 4G.
If you want to have your 4G back then you need to go back to stock.
4g on this phone is wimax, a dying breed. So unlocking your bootloader made the phone not work on the soon to be abandoned (2015?) Wimax network in the US. Most other carriers in other countries, including sprint now, are building out LTE 4g networks, which this phone wont work with.
If none of that made sense this will, you didn't break anything on your phone you'd ever be able to use.
Thanks for the response.
The purpose was to flash a good recovery and to flash other rom than the stock rom. But I didn't find a rom that I want to install.
Before unlocking, I tried to flash clockworkmod recovery with rom manager, but then when I tried to reboot into recovery, I got the error message fail to boot 2, so I searched in google and discovered that I can't flash a new recovery without unlocking, although I had rooted the device. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockworkmod, and then I was able to get into recovery.
Thank you Ksmith,
I hope that the people in my country are clever enough to start using the LTE and not the WiMax. Thank you very much for the information, I am suddenly relaxed.

I think he ment that the photons wont work on the lte network so you better hope for wimax if you plan on keeping phone for awile. Also i like the cm7.2 rom its seems to be the best for me `and just flashing any of the stock sbf files will give you back 4g. there also is a custom recovery for locked phones. bootsrtap and i the nanidroid. dont quote me on any of this except i do like cm7.2
Yeah I understood what he meant, I'm just not so sure I want to keep this smartphone for myself, so I still can prefer LTE
The SBF is hard to find right now. I tried to download it from 2 different websites and both of them don't work. However I hope to download this file soon.
Thank you good people for all the explanations!
i could probably email it to you as an attachment

Don't forget you can use CWM recovery via bootstrap if you are rooted without being unlocked. There are also roms you can flash via bootstrap while just being rooted and retain 4G. Just look in dev section.

WiMax is actually a good technology, just not the one that nearly all other carriers globally are using. On the plus side of that though, if nearly everyone uses LTE the chances of a "world phone" from any provider in 5 years are pretty good.
not sure the definition of "unlocking" but if you just want root that will not effect 4G

Question before I root....coming from the Samsung Vibrant

I just got the razr coming from Samsung's galaxy S (t-mobile vibrant) which I had rooted, OC'd, and running ICS on. I'm not new to rooting/flashing kernels/roms, etc. but I am new to the razr.
I am just wondering if there are any safety features built into this system in case something happens or it gets bricked or something? On the vibrant I could ALWAYS get into download mode and use a computer program called ODIN to flash my phone back to stock. It was nearly impossible to brick it... is there anything like this with the Razr yet?
From what I understand so far, I will root it, install safestrap (i.e. CWM) and then I can flash any of the Razr roms I want... Correct? Thanks guys!

you need to be more informed before flashing any of the razr rom's
not every custom rom will provide both, CDMA and GSM... so you need to differ witch one's will work with your device.
way to install is right. rooting, safestrapping, flashing... but keep an eye on the rom preferences
downlode mode... yeah, i think so... bricked my razr with flash failre, boot was unavailable... but could enter fastboot mode (POWER + VOLDOWN) to flash some new rom via rsd lite or fla**** by eternityproject
ok thanks... well, I have the Razr with Verizon in the US. But when I was talking to the verizon rep, he said that it uses both CDMA and GSM... (because I had asked him why they had switched over to SIM cards). He said that they are using the GSM network for data only because it works much faster/smoother for data. But it was my understanding that they are still using CDMA for voice. Am I wrong?
Do you have any threads you could post to explain the process to a newb? =) I have read a lot of the stickies... thanks for the response!

[Q] Trouble unlocking i777 after root.

I have root, the first time it froze and didn't sent a test correctly. So I tried it again using Super one. Now I have superuser. Tried both apps on the market and neither one seem to have worked thus yet.
When I try Herolz Galaxy s unlock It is unable to copy EFS, All it says is Done, Error, Not saved. And yes there is an SD card present.
The GS2 unlocker also available on the market will fart around for over 5 minutes and say unlock code not found.
What gives am I doing something wrong? I have tried it with the sim in and with it out. Using Family mobile from Walmart, so I am guessing Tmobile sim card.
Please give me some other root around this.

I didn't know ti wasn't stock. LOL . I just bought it used from a shop here yesterday as am upgrade from gs1. Could you possibly direct me in the right direction as I am unsure what part you are talking about mot being stock.
Than ks in advance
you know you'll only get Edge on Tmo bands.
KH7 is stock, but you stated you have root. Did you do it? if not then check the android Development forums on how to get back to stock. and start the root proccess again.
I got the root through superoneclick. It seemed it did ok as the secong time I went through it said it was already rooted. as for the crappy internet it won't really matter here as we don't even have 3g here in this town for t-mobile anyhow.
if I un-root and re flash back to stock just using the button press combo work? Any why does it only get edge on tmobile?

Unroot and back to stock would require Odin/Heimdall.
Only gets Edge on Tmo because its an at&t phone. different bands for 3g.
I have used Super One Click in the past, but its just easier to flash a rooted kernal in Odin/Heimdall, then flash a custom ROM via CWM.
Back to stock is mainly because SuperOneClick is an old tool. and then starting fresh with the latest.
But I had no need to unlock my phone, but from what I've heard its very simple, and most dont have any issues. using the app from the market
I am not afraid of ODIN. I have done that in the past but I did have a huge problem with the GS1 installing an older kernel. I just about bricked the phone. I had to use the HEimdall or what ever it was to get back in it.
On these phone with a custom kernal and rom will it automatically unlock the phone? I am just afraid of using the wrong one and in this particualr section I am sure as to where to go. It doesn't give a whole lot of detail and with the cryogen mod thing it is getting places where I am not sure if I want to really try that. I would but the information is spaced out so much I am afraid of missing something and buggering everything up. What should I have to worry about when doing this?
Also it is the software unlocking I am having problems with.

Custom kernal will not unlock the phone to be used on a network other than at&t.
Software unlock? assuming you mean using s/w to unlock the device, yes thats the way i understood this thread. I cant really tell ya much about that, but i have heard that its easy and works fine, which is why you should go back to stock first, to get rid of anything messy leftover from using an old rooting method.

You're probably fine as is. Look in Settings | About Phone. If you are stock UCKH7 it should read something like -
Android version 3.2.4
Baseband version UCKH7

And why does it only get edge on tmobile?

AT&T hardware handles different frequencies than T-Mobile hardware. It's a limitation of the phone's capability to receive the signal.
Try this thread for unlocking the phone.
FIXED!!
Stupid busy box was causing errors. re-downloaded it from the market and installed. Whoalla, unlocked. WTF.... Stupid phone. HAHAHA Thanks...
Trouble Unlocking After Odin Root of
I rooted my phone using Odin and the Siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-I777.tar file in the PDA. The phone passed, and it reloads with the triangle on the start up as expected. However, it then says "enter network lock control key". It has nothing to do with the sim, as the sim works in another phone. I have done the process several times, running odin back to the original factory settings with I777UCLE5_I777ATTLE5_I777UCLE5_HOME.tar.md5
Could someone please tell me how to get the phone unlocked?
I have done this process before with another i777 phone, and it worked fine.

Tmobile SIM on NEW OTA UPDATE

I was all prepared to root and unlock my bootloader with pudding and CWmod and then I read that no one is having success with the bootloader unlock on the new update 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.US aka 2.3.5. I also saw somewhere (be it wrong or right) that the new update let you use USA sim's in the phone. IDK what to belive. I need this phone to work on tmobile today If anyone has any insight on how to do this please let me know!
Have not heard that about US sims working.

So is there some sort of master code or some crap that sprint or motorola can provide to unlock a device on Domestic Carriers? or am i wasting breath arguing with them about the fact that the phone is capable of working on other domestic service they just arent allowing the software to do it? I mean i know the photon is capable of it it has the hardware. I just dont have the software is there any other way of getting this to work hacked rooted or otherwise and/or bone stock out of the box. Im game for anything here If someone has the beta stuff to test on the new update by all means ill take part.

I did a backup (thank google) and installed via bootstrap the v17 for locked of your 2.3.5 hybrid deblur (peetr_)....everything seemed to go according to plan. then i rebooted the device. It went into a boot loop at the M logo. finally i had no choice but to go into the motorola recovery console....i did a data reset there and it rebooted fine into YOUR ROM....except now I had no service whatsoever. OMG!!!!!! heart palpatations and sweaty palms ensued!!!!!!!!! oh no i bricked it aggghhhhh!!!!! BUT WAIT I can do an sbf via RSD to get it back from the dead RIGHT? RRRRRR!!!! WRONG ANSWER I had 2.3.5 the most current OTA out there isnt an sbf I've found for it......NOW WHAT WWWWWAAAAIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!! the bootstrap is an application that is coincedentily still on my memory chip!!!!! run bootstrap load up IT'S recovery console and thanks be to google there was my backup i had done at the beginning!!!!! SALVATION AT LAST!!!!!
Any ideas what just happened!???? Cause Im completely lost!!!!!
I have never known the photon to work on tmobile. Some guy on craigslist claimed to have one as soon as i said i want to meet to see he turned his phone off. Im sure if that was possible there would be a article on tmonews and engadget etc

Side note: Do the captchas have to be put in on every reply this is gonna get old quick!!!
it will work on tmobile (see this thread). The only problem is that most tmobile locations dont have 3G available on 1900mhz, so the photon will only work at 2G. Tmobile is making changes on their network (to be more iphone friendly), and hopes to have their entire network able to do 3G on 1900mhz within a yr.
As part of the company’s previously announced $4 billion network modernization effort, T-Mobile plans to launch 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band in a large number of markets by the end of the year

I purchased my Photon a month and a half back: secondhand from the craiglist ad. for 170 USD in Tampa.
I immideately unlocked and rooted it and flashed KDDI radio since it was only tmobile pay as you go SIM I used for my short vist to US.
It did work on T-Mobile when I was to US: thanks to KDDI Radio - needless to say it was and still is 2.3.4 and I'm stick to it.

You only flashed my rom? I am not sure, how to activate carrier service on cdma. Maybe some *228? Do you have a sim card? Did you try to flash that kddi radio?
Btw I am glad, that you can read and did not try to flash any older sbf.
it is possible I did a bunch of them for people on craigslist in NYC and Philadelphia. I dont think they had the new OTA though. I have yet to get one with the new OTA.

I tried a series of those combos in the dialer nothing did anything for me.......I dont have the sim in front of me as of yet i will be attempting it this weekend.........I didnt try to flash the radio.
Are you saying i should just simply try leaving the stock root on and flashing just the KDDI radio from here through bootstrap and see if that will do the trick?
I try to make sure i collect all the data i can before attempting something and I have never personally used rsd to flash so i did some research....im glad i discovered that too!
Yes. I think you can try it and if you won't have any signal or want to go back to cdma, you can just flash 2.3.5sv2 254_12 radio.
But still be ready for the worst!

[Q] Root Note 1 to work with Wind/Mobilicity

I just got a Note 1 i717, currently locked to Rogers (I live in Canada), spent some hours to read about rooting Note 1 to work with Wind/Mobilicity, I'm new, Can you guys please tell me all I have to do is rooting the Note 1 to make it works with Wind/Mobilicity? do I have to have an Sim-unlocked Note 1 to start rooting?
I find this method is quite easy and safe, probably the best method to root Note 1, another question is can I update or install another rom after rooting and it still works with Wind/Mobilicity?

In order to use a carrier locked device on a different carrier, you have to remove the SIM lock. There's lots of ways to obtain the lock code. Usually calling the carrier is fast and cheapest. Or you can Google search for how to remove it.
Rooting is totally different then unlocking. Rooting doesn't affect what carrier your device will work on. Roms don't affect this either unless the rom installs a modem. Modems are what allow you to connect to different carriers. I'm unfamiliar with what modems work on wind/mobilicity but I remember reading a post on it here once. You'll have to search for it.

but I read somewhere you can not use the phone even when unlocked, you have to do some modification?does that mean installing the modem? so what rooting does?what rom do you guy recommend for Note 1? I heard many people talk about Pacman Rom
I am using a bell note with mobilicity. You need tp unlock your phone in order to use with mobilicity.
For rooting, i flashed twrp recovery using odin v1.85. Once, you have twrp recovery, you can flash superuser.i used superuser v94. You can get twrp recovery from goomanager too. Once you are rooted. You need to flash modem. There are many modems available. You just have to find right one for you.

thanks, this is quite helpful
You don't need root access to flash any modem or rom.
You need to unlock from carrier to use other carriers sim card. This can be done by ourchasing a code from ebay.
You will need to flash a modem that will let you access the frequencies\bands wind uses.
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
No Honestly lets chit chat about it what is a good modem for mobilicity because I havn't seen one yet that doesn't drop and require reboots 10 min+ wait while it rediscovers all the various band connections. I want to know if anyone has a good experience with AWS 1700 + 2100 on the note since gingerbread/ics (a little). I am thinking of giving it up because I use mobilicity / and wind in the past and it really isn't a functioning phone anymore because of the magivered modem from times long ago. All the new radios don't work because they havn't been modded to get the other bands ...
So good luck, but I think it is more a toy now than a phone.
Also I would like to point out that all the work that was done a year back was great and thanks to everyone involved.

so which rom you are using to make this work with Wind/Mobilicity? I already rooted and have recovery rom, but i dont know which rom to install. I have tried T-mobile rom but it did not work.
Would you like to share more detail how you managed to get it to work
What rom have you used, I m getting no signal at this point and lost IMEI number
