Did you ever get your 3G running?
I am considering this phone, is it the same as yours (N9700)?

If it is the same, what process's did you use to root, cwm and custom rom?

[Q] Switch brand firmware

Hello
Simple question: I own a SGH-i717M (bell) unlocked/unbranded Note and I would like to change the provider's firmware to be a SGH-i717D (Telus) as its my current provider and I wont get the ICS release without this modification. Id also like to flash it with the Telus stock ROM before getting the update (I think I found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634321)
Im comfortable with the technical terminology but am pretty new to the mobile world when it comes to such modifications so id appreciate any advice
Can someone direct me to proper instructions or guide to proceed? Or explain me why this would be impossible to achieve?
Cheers
I presume its impossible if nobody can answer this...

I just saw a North American phone with a Korean rom. Insane.
Why not just use current (UCLF5) ICS leak -- it has no carrier brand at all?
Ya that could work but im worried about network issues. Id like to try out the samsung apps as well unless its obvious bloatware...

[Q] Unlocked SGS2 GT I9100 Locked after Leaked Official JB Update

Hi all,
I was used my phone since last april with multiple carriers.Last sunday i have updated my phone in to Official leaked JB. Since that update my phone locked and does not acceppt any of sim. I tried every method except GalaxySim. I know it wil be good solution, but i don't have electronic payment method. So i cant buy apps from Google Pay. I have my efs folder and i tried extract hashes and decrypt using Odiya's method, but it's not worked.
I tried different firmwares. Now i have backed to official ICS for my country(Sri Lanka). But phone is still network locked. I bought this phone from a seller and he told me he imported it from South Africa.
Please, if any of you can help me get my phone live again. I have nv_data.bin and can provide it anyone willing to help me. Thank you....
:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Unlucky.......cheapskate.
Next time do a bit of research before you flash anything.
Solved
I just able to unlocked using GalaxySim. I used credit card of friend of mine. Thanks all..
Nice work done by that developer..
:good::good::good::good::good::good:
Well done.
The developer is a nice guy.....hes even got a thread on here that allows members of xda to download and use his program for FREE.
Yeah.. He is excellent guy. I tried free one. Its not worked. Then i followed odiy's method and try to Brute force the cide. Its not worked. Finally i unlocked by using paid app. Now i'm on ICS official. If i tried again leaked JB, will my phone locked again.
Thanks lot for your immediate responses. I'm new to XDA. I am highly influenced by responses...

Any ideas?

It is unlocked by default
Its unlocked. Golan works great. Google probably would confirm that.

whoa dude
1. android 4.1.1 would be cm10, not cm9. unless you're selling a phone with android 4.0.4, which would be cm9. don't confuse the customer.
2. this phone has a 3G radio only, no 4G.
correction
You are correct and i knew that i was totally mesmorized by the sick ass boot animation which clearly states CM9 BTW can someone tell me how to extract that image and install it on my S2 T989?

Skep, i believe his new phone (or phone he is posting from) is the s2 t989 and old phone is fascinate.
The most stable 4.4 rom in my opinion right now is paranoid android beta 3

next time google the phone specs lol
obviously there is no magic involved here if the phone didn't support 4g from the factory then it never will you are talking about differneces in hardware
something you *should* know by now
also I don't recommenced selling a phone preloaded with cyanogen mod the customer may have issues getting it to activate with verizon afaik last I checked you can not activate a phone running cyanogen mod you need to be running the stock firmware first activate THEN flash to whatever
Im more of a software guy never once had or will have verizon as a carrier or sprint so I wasnt sure and the guy asked so as a stand up guy instead of bull****ting him to sell the phone i asked and phone is advertised with cm rom installed and also for the choice to be flashed back to the powerwashed 2.3.4 GB so thanks for the input but I do *KNOW* how to list and sell a phone.

Not yelling just friendly suggestions.
