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...

THIS IS A LITTLE HEADS UP AND NEEDED INFO IF U PLAN TO USE THE VZW NOTE 2 ON GSM CARRIERS LIKE ATT OR TMO
If u plan to use the vzw note 2 on tmo gsm service youll need to know its a bit of work to get it going with data .
All vzw sch1605 are unlocked out oF the box .THIS PHONE DOES GET 3G on tmo 1900 band I cant confirm on att but tmobile YES 3G H+
Vzw locks its apn settings into the phone u have to root and unlock bootloader with Casual unlock tool and flash the stock 4.1.1 deodoxed rom in order to add att or tmobile apn settings. A deodoxed rom is A MUST Then there is a mod zip that gives u a "+apn "under settings /access point names to add your carriers apn
THIS IS JUST A HEADS UP FOR THOSE OF U ALREADY STUMPED OR PLANNING TO USE VZW NOTE ON A TMOBILE ACCOUNT OR GSM CARRIERS

Just curious but why the need for the deodex rom?
In repsonse to the question "why a deodoxed rom"
A Deodoxed rom is a prerequisite of adding the "apn" mod file, from custom recovery, as mentioned in my thread .If noone knew of this issue ahead they would never have working data while trying to use an alternate gsm carrier in their note 2.
Verizon locks the apn settings into the phone for theyre use only .
The zip file mod is 1 way of doing this .Its easier than the adb method of changing and pulling files from the system

You don't need anything deodexed.
There are several ways to modify apn:
1. Via conf file.
2. Via modded secsettings.apk that unlocks apn editor.
3. Change csc via build.prop that unlocks apn editor..
Joderme, imnuts, and I have a fairly comprehensive thread about it.

So what would have made this a helpful thread is some details. Like were is this flashable zip, what apn settings do we need, and what ROM did you use I know any deodoxed should work but which one you used would be good.
Now I know these things could be found by searching, but if you're making a new thread to help people it seems like a good idea to include details like these.

There's also several apps in the play store you can download and convert to system app that are very simple.

Thanks buddy, I've already read this which by the way says the same thing as this post just with details.
I was more trying to help the op. He made a thread to help people which is great, but have no real help except you'll need this stuff without saying where get it. Then says he checked to see how many people thanked him. Great intentions, but not actually very helpful. I'm researching trying to decide if I'm gonna get a note so I really like informative posts not vague references to stuff.

Yes you can use a Verizon rom and go back and forth.
Some deodoxed roms are
Jelly beans build 4
By beanstown.
Or stock 4.1.1 deodoxed with root
Google it if u want one
Why should I post the necessary files if they havent been requested?
I simply made a thread posting a statement about using vzw note 2 on gsm carrier and what to expect if you should find that the data can not be configured without some work .
Are you mad scientists done with the nit pickin and finger fuc*** of my thread or what?

Thanks, I think you missed my point. I want attacking you or your thread I see you want to help and I appreciate that because I have a good deal for a Verizon note and I'm going to tmobile so I've been reading ALOT so I see your capitalized post and expect to find something and all there is are references to things you need which basically say to change APN(of course)
That would be like all the people I've helped unbrick me just saying flash stock in Odin without showing them a guide to do it.
Anyways I'm still curious how you got 3g/HSPA unless I miss read the +APN thread and the other thread onion development I thought all that worked was edge.
Also I think most devs prefer you to link to their thread instead of just distribute their work.

You get 3g because the note is a pentaband
Phone it happens to support tmobiles 1900 3g band and 2100 band
Its a little spotty but works well and when lte rolls out the 1900 band will broaden.

Nice guess I missed that. Like I said this network stuff is new to me. Do you think this will work? Is my understanding all the notes have the same hardware

Your link to discussion in the att note getting tmo 3g I have no idea
As far as I knew u was asking about vzw note in tmo
All I can say is I have one Vzw note 2 sch1605 and I get tmobile 3g just by adding
Epc.tmobile.com as the apn
Not certain about the att note

I am talking about a Verizon note in T-Mobile. I'm wondering if this method would work to make it fully compatible with T-Mobile.... you know 4g etc. Was hoping you knew this stuff better then me.

Tmobile does not have full lte yet not until mid 2013 they have 3g on 1900 band and hspa+ in 2100 band which shows as 4g
All u will get is the 3g which is fast enough I get 10-14mg download speeds

Hey, I'm a complete newb to mobile phones. I have a Gereic CDMA Sch-r760x, I found a root guide on it on this forum, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40087292 but noticed it's really for the us cellular counterpart. My question is Will flashing and rooting somehow delete my Mobile Nation carrier information and make my phone think it's US Cellular?

what you are searching for is called debranding!
what you need to know:
your phone ,
your carrier
your actual software versions
kies software by samsung
odin
.. an some other stuff, depending on your mobile carrier
e.g. for o2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
.. but i think it is outdated!
if you don't find something yourself, post it in the Q&A thread of your device, by providing the informations of, software versoin, android version and carrier
:good:
Thank you for the term, but I guess I didn't explain enough, I do NOT want to accidentally debrand my phone and screw up my cell service. Will rooting cause this to happen.

This is probably a stupid question but hey, can't hurt to get some input.
I have recently found myself in possession of an AT&T Galaxy Mega. I have T-Mobile as my carrier so have no intention of using the built in 4G from AT&T. Can I flash a T Mobile rom and baseband to it? I assume this will brick it and I am better off just leaving it be and using it as a plain wifi-only tablet but want to verify with the experts.
I am no novice to flashing/roming and the occasional brick recovery
Sorry, but you can't flash ANY rom to the ATT Mega. No one has been able to unlock the bootloader.
But, I'm sure, if you search, you will find folks are using a t-mobile sim in the ATT version.

Yeah, was hoping a stock rom from another carrier wouldn't need an unlocked loader. Ah well,, am rooted and just waiting for the official 4.4 then.
Thanks for the input!
Would i be able to flash any gsm rom to my tmobile edge? The specs are identical to what ive read and would like to know if anyone knows the answer and also would rooting be the same or would that be tmobile specific root method?
