hi guys,
I have a i717 from bell Canada. Im looking to flash the radio and make it work on Mobilicity/Wind.
please someone give advice where to start.
also is it possible to flash it without rooting the phone?
Check your grammar. I'm not sure what you want.
Is it unlocked?
You will need to root to change the radio though.
The radio might affect data speeds and such, but you only need to make sure you can access your service providers frequencies to work. If not, the phone will be rendered useless on that network.

You don't need to root to change the modem. Just use Odin3 v 1.85 on your PC and flash a T-Mobile compatible modem. But, like ^^^^^ said, you will need to unlock the phone to run on that network.
^^
Didn't know that Haha. Guess there is more than one way to get things done!

Well, ^^^^^, the OP should root, but when I give advice, I keep the steps to the bare minimum needed to get the problem solved. I trained infantry soldiers and taught high school math!
^^ Agreed.

I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Note i717 but the limitations of gingerbread are driving me crazy....so the first thing I want to do is root and flash a different ROM problem is I'm without a computer ugh.
I came across a YouTube video showing how to root the other model without using a computer so I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for the i717 model.
So is it possible to root the i717 galaxy note without a computer?
Help me out here guys any feedback is much appreciated....

I highly discourage trying anything other than what is posted in these threads...since it has been proven to best and most effective why of rooting and flashing...
in other words...You will need a computer and for a safety feature in case you soft brick or hard... you will have a need for a pc...computer.
do you have CWM on your device? like ranger stated below...no need to root to flash...
just my suggestions
You don't need root to flash an ics Rom.

yes sir you are correct...I did notice the op did not mention if CWM is on his device already...he will need that to flash...so then to put cwm he would need.....
No I don't have CWM on my device its literally a few hours old with everything stock lol so I'm really trying to find the best way to go about getting CMW and a custom ROM installed

Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying
"ya never know"
Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.
btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.
Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.
I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.

So I Bought a Galaxy note (i717) the charger port is messed up on the device. It will charge, but it wont allow any PC connectivity. I have searched google and xda for information how how to root this phone with out a PC (aka using an .apk like framaroot) and I can not find a viable solution. I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?
I guess we need to help one another, I saw ur post, and I am using the same device. Dude, u can root every android in this world without pc. There are so many rooting apks. I have rooted so many different phones without pc. Download the app I used from my drive. Email for the app pls, I won't take anything from u but xda won't allow me to post a link.

I really like what I see from this rom: rootgalaxys3iii.com/turkbeyrom-v3/
But everywhere I've read about it, it references the international version of the phone.. this will be my first root and Rom flash so I am really nervous about bricking my phone if it isnt meant for att version.
Thanks for helping
If it is made for the international version then do not flash it on the us version. Since you are new I would suggest you flash roms that are for your carrier, ie the ones listed in whatever carrier development forum you use for your service. Be advised though to please do plenty of research on whatever questions you may have in the future as it will save you major headaches
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Unfortunately no it wont work. I9300 roms cannot be flashed due to different internals. You'll be lucky to get a boot screen if you flash but could probably still recover. Definitely wont work though until someone ports it over for your model.

Not sure if this will help you, as I dont use JB, and i'm not sure if you are carrier unlocked or not. but in order to do so, you will need to be loaded with a stock rom, in order to use the unlock code you are given.
you may already know, and have done this, but you'll need to be on the rom your phone came with, if possible...
hope this helps...g
Use any modem you like. Roms and modems are independent. Don't get too excited or upset once you flash your rom/modem. It seems to take a few reboots and a few hours to settle in.
cool...dint know i had to be in stock to use an unlocked code thought
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
If its not stock, the box to enter the code never appears
but once unlock it doesn't matter if I flash the device will stay unlocked right?

unlock is permanent.
Alright, first let me say that I am very appreciative of the roms we have. I just wanted to know what it would take to port roms from other carriers to use on Verizon. When roaming through all the forums, the amount of flashing one could do would be enormous. Any detailed info would be great. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I believe all you need to do are swap out a couple libs and edit the APN info, but there may be a little more besides that.
Thanks imnuts. Could you maybe give me some advice on how to proceed?How would I go about tracking down the libs? Would I see what was in our stock rom, and check the differences in a alternate carriers rom lib folder? I understand the apn settings somewhat, but as you can tell, I am new to having a phone that is on multiple carriers, and Samsung. I have themed some of my own stuff, but haven't done anything like this. The reason I ask is because I have seen people here saying that they were on jellybomb, and others. Any adive would be helpful.

I'm doing a Verizon to tmo right now. All the info you need should be right here. Also to expand make sure you still run a Verizon radio and kernel. By the way the people on jellybomb just flashed ROM then Verizon kernel and radio. The link above is how to do it correctly as imnuts mentioned.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Thank you so much for the reply. I am trying to wrap my head around this so bear with me. I am not going to try it until I completely understand what I am doing. From what I read,
1. I can flash a att/t-mo rom.
2. Run the rom checking script(make sure it passes)
3. Flash kernel, and radio, and boot rom.
4. Check csc's, and build prop, change files accordingly.
5. Check data networks, and gps function.
5. profit?
Is it that easy? I am sure I am oversimplifying this. If it is that easy, could you point me in the right direction for the radio. I did a quick search on xda, and google without finding it. Thank you for holding my hand : )
By the way kintwofan, I pmed you the same message, if you feel l I ke it is spam, delete, and thanks for getting me this far.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Okay to do it correctly you will need to do a little work. You will need to edit your build.prop and the files in /system/csc
to reflect Verizon.
Next remove the tmo or sprint specific app (from link). Then you will want to get the Verizon specific apps (from that link) and put them in /system/apps.
If you don't do these things then the check zio will show incompatable. Then just make sure you are on a Verizon kernel and radio (I'll find link but it's in development thread)
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
That helps tremendously. I will hunt down the radio myself. You provided more than you should have to. That thread was just a little over my head, and I will reread many times before trying. Coming from the rezound, this is like a very complex, and new heaven. Thank you again.

Hello.
I know what you are thinking.
Oh no, not another n00b bootloader thread.
Sorry, but sadly it is.
I'm on stock JB 10D MetroPCS MS 769 10d.
I was reading through the Internet, but I'm hard of eyesight and the strain is really starting to stress me. I've never had a phone that seemed harder to unlock(the bootloader). I see many threads and it is really tempting to get a newer rom that will save my battery and all of my troubles.
The only problem is, each tutorial I come across has lead me in a million different directions. Some are dated back from June of this year. I would like an updated method, and of course being the newbie I am, I don't want to try an old method and turn this phone into a paperweight.
I have researched that the T-Mobile ROMs will work on this monstrosity. I know about 2nd init, clockwork mod, have unlocked the bootloader on a tablet. Have been following DROID since Froyo.
I need a sure fire way to do this. I'm sure some of the new guys around here would like a sure fire method.
Let me just brief.
I am familiar with Clockwork mod recovery.
I know basic Terminal Emulator commands.
I run Linux
I know given the right instructions how to Unbrick
My device is currently rooted using the Chinese method, was able to properly install SuperSU and get rid of the Chinese version.
I am aware that the process somehow involves firmware with an inverted screen.
There are so many guides and tools, I've used LG Support tool before, and my final question is...
How the heck do I unlock the bootloader on an MS769 Optimus LG with stock L9 10D firmware?
And yes I've tried the search feature and just got even more confused.
Sent from my LGMS769 using Tapatalk
.lAfter doing some research, I've got everything done up to flashing the 20B firmware this is the point of no return for me. The only thing I haven't done is ADB, but that comes with software mode right before the flash. I'd like to go over this with somebody to see if I have everything set correctly.
Also I need a good copy of the 10D and the European 20B kHz.
... And I'd love to be able to get my paws on the Metro radio... Just in case... For jellybean of course.

Unfortunately there is no simple way to unlock the bootloader, I also have the Metro PCS LGMS769 and managed to unlock the bootloader with a little trial and error and as of the time of this post im running PenberRom5.
Keep in mind that no matter how badly you might screw your phone up, as long as you have a pc and an internet connection you can always restore your phone back to factory settings using the LG Support Tool.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I had trouble with flashing kdz files so I had to go over the tutorials with a fine toothed comb, seems I did not have the small server in the right folder on the root of my C:/ drive. I got 10f flashed, that was my "safe" tester. As long as I can get into software update mode it should be no biggie.
Thanks to you guys as well. Couldn't have asked for better support than on XDA. When I am sure that my internet connection will be reliable, I'll go ahead and follow that guide.
Moving my apps to the SD Card would be really nice. This phone is not very well endowed as far as Internal Storage goes. lol
So yeah to repeat I got KDZ flash working, at least on the "municiple" laptop in the folks house lol. I know what I have to do.
First off, I'm dual booting this old piece of crap laptop I have, it barely runs Windows 7...but it works.
