Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Verizon Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?
ba-ba-ba-BUMP.
What about integrating carrier specific apps? The Verizon version has a data usage app that works without logging into my Verizon.
I do believe that is what scrosler was doing here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055218 and he said this in the features " Verizon Patch files in a flashable zip can be found http://www.cleanroms.com/downloads/Note2/VZW Patch for 7105 Base.zip This will let the ROM think you are a VZW ROM! Good for the Play Store and APN settings! " But.... He did say he was unsure if it works on other roms in his second post. You possibly could try it. : )
Thanks. . But I'm already using his VZW rom

Any chance that Scott's patch would work on the CM10.1 nightlies for N7100? If I try it, do I risk bricking?
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2
You risk a soft brick. Just make a nandroid backup first and you'll be fine.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Just make sure you don't flash modems and keep a stock kernel on hand
Yeah since the hardware is nearly identical I think the most you would risk is a soft brick. The 7100 lacks LTE though so I'm not sureif you would have data on one of those roms. Tell us how it goes if you go through with it.

Well? Are our phones and the Canadian version compatible with each other?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
I'm not an expert (by any stretch), but no... I don't believe we can run this... although it is exciting that CM10 for the E973 has come that far.
I remember reading the comments of a user or a dev much more knowledgeable than I... he said that E973 can run E970 kernels, and E970 can run E973 kernels, but where the E973 has a leg up is that they can run Nexus 4 kernel... or something to that effect. I can't remember who said that and I tried searching for the post but can't find it, sorry.
Nevertheless... we are getting closer day by day, I would assume, and once this phone is running CM10...I'll be hanging up my flashing gloves for at least a year, probably two.
Yeah, we can't run this. The Canadian one can boot Nexus 4 kernels for some reason, hence 4.2, but we can't. It's stupid that all the variants are different.
That sucks I wonder if we will ever get a cm10.1 ROM why do the phones have to be so different.

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

No roms will work, if ever, on this device because it has been "protected" by Att from running unsigned boot and recovery images.

It's just a matter of time. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that of all the millions and millions of android phones that ATT sells......why would they decide to lock this ONE phone? Just not logical....the Intl model can be rooted...I feel strongly this one can also.

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me any compatible roms, that work the Sprint Galaxy Mega 6.3? Everyone rom I try looks to be for a GSM device. I can't figure out any way to get my Sprint service on the device after flashing one I mess with the setting in each one, to search for Service Provided etc and have no luck.
Could anyone tell me which ones you have been successful with, and what you did to get CDMA services working on it?

From the looks of this, you just followed instructions from this thread here now, even though this appears to have worked, I would not suggest going through with actually flashing anything or making backups.
The reason is partitions are different across some of the G3 devices and it would not be a smart idea to risk flashing something to a wrong partition, especially since there are 16 and 32 gb models.
With that, it looks like there is a bypass on the VZW model which is a good sign for future use.

Yes we can. This is no different than flashing a custom ROM using safestrap on a Samsung product. I don't think you guys realize how big this is. While its not a boot loader unlock, we will be able to flash custom Roms based on factory ROM.
Hoping we get Aosp soon.
