Just moved over from the S3, so be easy. Learning the ins and outs of the ever-confusing 4.3 update here as well. I just got a 4.1.2 rooted with old CWM (non-touch) Note 2, and every time I try to update to Philz, it claims this is a non-verizon device. It is. The guy before used a T-Mobile sim in, would that make a difference? It is also a stock Verizon rom, so I'm not sure why I am getting this error. Do I need to flash a verizon stock 4.1.2 rom to reset it?
Edit: should I install Philz via Odin, or simply odin back to stock 4.1.2, re-root, and unlock bootloader again?
Edit 2: if anyone can chime in on Philz or not, that would help. I can install any other recovery no problem, so I'm wondering if the file that is uploaded is taking me to the right one? I know AFH is doing server work.

What's the phone model? sch-i605 would Verizon. Also do not update to 4.3 official you will probably forever have locked bootloader.

Yep. That's the model. I actually had no issues flashing the latest cwm and twrp at all. Starting to wonder if AFH messed something up.
Yep, I'm aware of all the 4.3 stuff. S3 had the same thing. I made sure this was on 4.1.2 when I bought it and just flashed sophisticated tonight. :thumbup:

Ive tried flashing just the bootloader... ive tried just flashing the pda... ive tried flashing the pit, bootloader and pdaat the same time and Ive tried flashing just the bootloader and just the pda... im stuck any help would be much appreciatied. Its a verizon note 2 i used the toolkit method to root. If this has happend and been solved a point to the right thread would be great..... Ive seen people say to flash then wipe it and what not, really need a tutorial that abc's it since its my first time.

I see. So accepting a verizon OTA unroots your phone and makes it so you can't put a custom bootloader on it anymore. That sucks. But if you never took the actual OTA then you are good to go with a bootloader is what you are basically sating?

So I was given an galaxy note i717 att version the other day and I'd like to use it on tmobile. Anyways I unlocked the phone and flashed tmobiles radios/modems on it but I want to use a different rom on the phone. Will I mess up the phone if I put a rom on it because i changed the network modems?, and if not which rom should I use with my att note i717 on tmobile?

You can run any rom you like if you've flashed the right version of recovery. There are several 4.4.2 roms available if you want to run the latest. Depending on your area, you may get as good a signal with an att modem. Personally I'm running the BlownFuze 4.4.2 with the UVLG3 modem, with no major issues.

Yes, make a CWM backup first in case something goes wrong. Also, make sure you're running CWM 6.0.4.3 before you flash a 4.4.2 rom

Any JB and up roms, you will need to flash gapps again, but your apps will come back when you log in your gmail. Just read the OP for rom you use and there will be a link to appropriate gapps, though many are the same.
If your new though, I would advise you to read up a bit. Nobody is going to replace your phone if you dont understand and as far as I know, nobody has invented a time machine yet.

Same here - never changed a radio. I have rooted and customized a few of i717 and the previous radio seems to either stay on or in some cases such as BeanStalk Rom it replaced my radio. Either way they are all on target with TMO.
Hi folks, I've beem looking forward to flash/use my AT&T galaxy note 2 on T-Mobile as well, can some one please share your experience and the links to flashing or unlocking it please?
Those on MK2 With safe strap and want to get rid of Touch Wiz ( which I do -.-) Get the Illusion ROM for your Galaxy S4 (Verizon). That's all. Except the only bug/s is WiFi doesn't even if you try flashing the MK2 Module's. And those On AT&T, T-Mobile, Straight Talk, NET10... Etc using there Verizon Galaxy S4 will not get Data to work. I have Straight talk and tried everything to get Data to work. I've flashed all Carrier Roms (the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular) together and see if that would help. Nope. But Messaging (just SMS) works and so does calls and Voice Mail (xD)
And if someone could extract this and try making another AOSP ROM that works with MK2 (or SafeStrap) and make CM11/10 to work, that would be excellent!
Credit for the ROM goes to the Developer. I am not endorsed with the development/developer nor do I hold responsible for your phone being a toaster

If you guys are on 4.2.2, it would make since if it was a gpe rom, as gpe was somehow compatible with 4.2.2 safestrap. If I remember correctly, someone said that the differences between the kernels was negligible and could boot with the tw kernel.
I would say its safe to assume that its actual AOSP seeing that it uses the CM kernel source (or at links to it on the OP), however, there are no accounts in the thread of the rom cook saying that it is AOSP, only other posters.
Haven't tried to download it yet, but I'm going to convince myself that you guys are just pulling a sick April fools prank.

Well so far it's AOSP ROM. It has pure android, the weight of the zip is so light and if. And yes, A Dev did say it wasn't compatible with any AOSP ROM's. But I found a ROM that works! I'll post some screen shots of the AOSP ROM. And if it says AT&T its because I have a Straight Talk Sim Card in it.
So far people are eager with this. If we can get more people's attention we can probably get Hashcode to see what's making this ROM work on AOSP

However, now that I'm 2 Android versions behind I wanted to check in to see if I have any options to upgrade to a newer/better ROM like Cyanogenmod.
