As you guys know or should know the Galaxy Note II is considered a smart phone on Verizon's network. They charge a $40 Monthly Line Access Per Device. I have de-activated my call/text and get data only at a data only rate plus smartphone fee. ie $40 (smartphone) + $60 (10GB) Share Everything Options for Data Devices vs having $40 (smartphone) + $100 (10GB) Unlimited Talk & Text + Shared Data . So that being said I was wondering If some one could show me how to change my device id, model number, baseband, or hardware number. What ever they look at to identify my device as Galaxy Note II. I like to change it to CLONE it into "Verizon Tablet Device" if you will. In case you still dont get what i would like to see solved its that I want Verizon to recognize my Galaxy Note II as a current available tablet on there plans. ie display to Verizon that my phone "is" a Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Tab, etc I think you get the picture. I only need the data and gps to work if thats even relevant. I know it can be done. Its XDA after all Thanks guys ahead of time!

I don't know much about modifying the low level stuff, but couldn't you just get a SIM card activated for a tablet and put that in the Note II? I've never done it, but I have heard that people have swapped SIMs between phones and jetpacks/tablets all the time to us unlimited data on other devices. Maybe that would work here too? Again, not too knowledgeable here, just throwing that lead out there...
Edit your build.prop, I would imagine. Replace all references to the Note 2 to the Note 10.1 tablet, or whatever that thing is called.
I am not responsible.

That are going off the MEID from their master database, so you'd have to change that (which isn't discussed here since it's illegal).

I don't believe swapping the sim won't solve the issue. I think they know what device is being used unless the device is branded into the sim which I highly doubt but thanks.

You're correct it won't work. Verizon and all carriers for that matter identify the device being used by the imei. So to do what the OP wants requires changing the imei. Which as mentioned is illegal and can't be discussed on xda.

Yes, the fact that it's blacklisted simply means that Verizon's database shows it as not being able to be activated. This has no effect on the phones usability on another carrier.

Keep in mind att uses gsm radio and Verizon uses CDMA.
You may run into trouble.
However I believe the Verizon note 2 is a works phone?
Who knows exactly what that means for you.
God bless the American people.
Figures someone who uses barrack Obama as name wouldn't be any help how fitting. The note II has gsm and cdma radios. It's unlocked from the factory so you can throw a t-mobile, AT&T, straight talk ect and it'll work fine. The note supports 1900mhz frequency which is the refarned hspa42 for t-mobile and 3g hspa for at&t

I buy/sell/trade phones and I've run into a couple bad esn phones (no I don't buy them, shady people report them stolen). I actually picked up a Note 2 several months ago. I checked the esn over 611, came back clean, brought it home several hours later to put it on my wife's line. We popped her sim in, it activated, then almost immediately deactivated. After hours on the phone with Verizon they said the seller reported it and there was nothing I could do. We got her a new sim card and reactivated her S3. As I considered my options, the next day I called Verizon and checked the ESN again. The lady said it was clean. I didn't understand and took it to the store to ask a rep. It was explained to me that when a IMEI is blacklisted, it "burns" the sim card you put in it. Since we are in no way faulted on our plan, we were given a new sim card. The rep explained that the phone is blacklisted against that one sim card. So if I put my new sim in, it is now linked to my (clean) account.
Long story short - if you pop in a sim card, it will get zapped. If you get a new one and try again, it SHOULD work fine on Verizon.
I hold no responsibility to what you do or how accurate that info is. It worked for me and was approved by a Verizon rep. Try it or don't.

If a seller reports a phone stolen, they can sell the phone and collect the cash, then turn it into insurance and get a new phone.
They don't care about you actually still being able to use the phone or not, only that they get free money and a new phone.
I bought my Note 2 off of Craigslist in November I checked the number with Verizon. I was told everything was good to go. About two weeks ago I got a call from the Sheriff's office letting me know that I was in possession of a phone that had been stolen directly from one of their stores. I had put my own SIM card in so I never had any issues.

I would assume that you could, Just because Verizon has put the ban hammer down on the phone doesn't necessarily mean that other carriers would also. I guess the best way to know is to give it a shot.

I had a similar issue with a S3 when they first came out. I traded a Razr Maxx for it. I used it for a while until I found a blue one, so I gave it (white) to my wife. About 3 months later I got a call from an investigative department of Verizon. I explained the situation and they allowed me to keep the S3 (unblacklisted) for cooperating with them. I gave them all the info of the person I got it from. That guy called me a week later to warn me that Verizon may be calling, lol. Turns out the person be bought it from had stolen several of these off a Fed Ex truck before they reached the store.

You won't find a cheaper one. Not at the moment though, this is because the phone just got released and very few have access to db like us
I received my code but where do I enter it?
I am trying to use a Straight Talk (AT&T) sim card. With the stock AT&T apn settings the phone won't connect to data. Voice calls work fine.
As a result I decided to buy a sim code. How do I apply the sim code? My phone does not request that I enter it. My hunch is that ST with AT&T is too close for it to trigger the unlock code request entry. Thank you.

Change the APN settings to those of Straight Talk... You might be running off AT&T, but your data is registered with Straight talk. That or you live in an LTE area and AT&T slaps you cuz your not directly with them.

Straight Talk SIM on ATT versus Unlocked HTC One
I had no issues setting up the Straight Talk SIM to work on my ATT phone by setting the appropriate APN settings. Both data and ATT 4g service work fine. So what is the advantage of buying an unlocked SIM phone from HTC aside from saving a few dollars? Trying to figure out if there is any point in returning the AT purchased phone for an HTC unlocked ONE

Straight talk doesn't need your att branded phone to be sim unlocked. Same network. Try it on tmobile, than you'll understand why sim unlock is necessary for many, especially when traveling.
I bought mine tonight off-contract. The rep said that after 90 days I could fill out a form and they'll see that I paid cash and most likely carrier unlock it. I only use Straight Talk tho so the phone really doesn't need to be unlocked. I did however unlock and iPhone 5 I had using carrierunlock.net and it worked great. Pretty expensive but it did work. They will sometimes cut the price in half or completely refund you if you make a YouTube video showing how the unlock worked and verify the video with them.

Wasn't a big deal. You just have to call straight talk and they will need the number off your sim card. You cant use the automated system but apparently not all straight talk reps know how to do the note 3. I've been using mine for months now and can't tell I'm not on sprint. I was on student plan and sprint was going to make me buy a new phone in order to get a plan. At the time there wasn't a better phone for sprint so why would i want to give up my note 3 for something lesser or buy another. After a couple months on straight talk i paid for their 6 month plan. Probably will keep doing that.

Cool but the only bad thing about this is (first 5GB data at high speeds then 64Kbps that's only 2G on Straight Talk...
Well, Straight Talk also has a $55 a month plan that gives you 10gb high speed 4G LTE data & then 64kbps after. The plan you're referring to is the $45 5gb high speed 4G LTE & then 64 kbps. You can also refill early if you go over & get throttled on any "monthly 30 day plan" & restore your high speed LTE data.
Just a friendly FYI post from a long time Straight talk user ?

HD also... i thought what a deal. no. i am giving this to my daughter Olivia for her 9th birthday. unrootable?? nothing i want. time to just save for that S7 or Note... Samsung... im coming home baby. OK honestly and seriously, will this ever become rootable? should i leave Straight talk? i love root.. all things root you could say (i know i should not say that here... but were are all friends no?) help
I have given up on the lg L52VL and like my friend above will pass it to my daugher. Never again will i purchase a TracFone Branded device, I'll keep using the straighttalk service as it's the best deal for my area, But from now on it's purchase unlocked phone and BYOP with straight Talk , What saddens me the most is with all the brain power in the Android Community no one but no one can break tracfones strangle hold on it's devices. I ran in to the same thing with the Moto E Xt830C which now lays in a drawer collecting dust. I guess when enough people get fed up with tracfone and it's locking of prepaid devices and stop shopping at walmart for phones maybe we'll see a change but i wont hold my breath.
Tried both recent kingroot and kingoroot. No root for tracfone Treasure. Both king and kingo successfully rooted boost Tribute 5. I wonder if Tribute 5 fw can be flashed in Treasure and then rooted?

If you flash anything for a different phone it WILL brick the phone. I wouldn't even try.

St & TF is guilty of this. There is a disclaimer @THE bottom of the ST page I think it mentions rooting. I believe it says something about a year then you can call them and get it done.

You should have been able to unlock the bootloader on the moto e through the Motorola website. I was able to unlock my wife's moto e that way and it was through st.

You are confusing rooting with SIM unlocking.

I'm sure it will become root able. At some point someone that knows what they are doing will figure it out. I wouldn't leave straight talk just because there is no dev. support for this phone. I have a galaxy grand prime through straight talk and have it rooted with supersu and am now doing testing on a kernel and rom so it's not just straight talk. If you really want a phone to take root you must be proactive about it, post in forums, or just figure it out yourself. Lots of developers out there, just got to find the right ones. I'm no longer using the phone but still have it. Have been trying to learn most of this stuff so I can make a program that can unlock the bootloader but I also have a job so it's not looking like something that will be completed for a long time.
