I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note with Bell today. I am a noob when it comes to Odin and everything but used it for my Galaxy SII without any issues to continually switch back and forth with firmwares etc.
So I found a root for my Galaxy Note i717 that said it was compatible with Bell. I downloaded the file, which was a large .tar file, and after rooting my phone I am stuck with AT&T now!! The phone boots with AT&T, has all their apps and everything. As a noob, and a lot of you will probably laugh, can I even use my phone now or it will be charged international roaming? It recognizes my Bell sim.
I really want to switch back to the original Bell firmware and everything, can someone please help me. I literally have had this phone for 2 hours and it is already like this. I really appreciate it, and hope this is in the right part of the forum. Thank you so much. God bless.

Sent from Flip's S3
Hi everyone,
I have, hopefully, a simple problem. I recently upgraded to a galaxy s4 from the s3. the s3 is a year old as my corporate contract allows me to upgrade my phone every year. so I am with bell, and my wife is with telus. she wanted my s3 since she has the iphone 4 and is sick of it. I updated the software on the s3 about 3 weeks ago so some of the threads on here wouldn't work for unlocking it. I went to the cell unlocker website and paid for a code. I still have the email they sent with all the codes, unlock, freeze etc, and it worked. I put her sim card in and could text and call out. the phone says telus where it said bell before. however the data will not work. Wi-Fi does but mobile data will not. we went to a telus store, they upgraded her sim card but to no avail. I tried searching for threads here but didn't come up with something like this. the phone is stock, no mods or anything, I even reset it back to factory settings, sim still works just no mobile data. I tried to get bell to unlock it before but they said they couldn't cuz it was tied to a contract.
I hope someone has seen this before and can help because i'm at a loss.
thanks for any ideas

Have you looked into the APN settings? I have them around here somewhere. I can locate them and forward them to you if you'd like. You can also find them right on the Telus website. I'm thinking that's a good place to start.

that would be awesome, thanks. I know the rep for the telus kiosk at Devonshire mall went in to look at a few things, but he wasn't sure and google what was happening but he said it was all at&t stuff, then gave me back my phone. but yeah I would appreciate the info. not sure if my email shows or not but it is [email protected]. I will try that out and post back as to what is happening.
[Q] Rooted a SGH-i317 with N7100 components and now it does't connect to AT&T -HELP-
My first time rooting my phone, I've had a rooted phone before, but my friend did it for me so I never actually had to do anything. After a year of thinking about it and a purchase of a Galaxy Note II, I thought "hell, why not." I'm quickly realizing my mistakes. I have rooted it completely with the International N7100 version. How do I get it back connecting to AT&T (My phone does not attempt at connecting to the AT&T radio anymore.) I am in dire need of a solution as I do not have the fund to purchase a new phone. The SIM card is fine, I just need a remedy to get my phone back on AT&T track before my money goes right down the drain and maybe worse. Please respond, I will be in your favor.
You need to input the APN settings for at&t.
Just tried kingoroot on this verizon sch-I545 model of the s4 and sure enough it didnt work because nobody has gotten past the latest verizon lock-down with VRUGOF1. Would try kingoroot but all chinese so im not sure if i dare... what was interesting about kingo was it really tried and got to about 78% and then said it failed; glad it didnt brick. New to this and so messed up when i bought this pos. Let me try to explain: verizon logo comes on when powered up but when a call comes in it says AT&T. The person said that it was unlocked when I bought it from them . It does work fine with my carriers simcard which is Cricket. So trying to figure this thing out. I'm thinking it was verizon first then unlocked upon contract completion and they went to at&t. Carrier is not the issue all I want is to be able to root the silly thing. So if there is any success on the progress of this ridiculous VRUGOF1 I hope to know. Heck its been several months now. Why cant a phone be like a hard drive and partitioned and formatted to whatever you want? :fingers-crossed:
answering my own question
just in case anyone finds this before the other forum this has been answered for a few weeks now. the thanks goes to Edgardo_Uchiha. the link is :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/root-of1-t3249971
It has been a while since I've spent time on XDA. I haven't flashed a phone since the HTC One M7. I had to switch carriers from T-mobile to AT&T not long after I had purchased the S20+ for T-mobile. Most of the features work on AT&T, but I'm lacking the VoLTE, Wifi Calling, and Visual Voicemail that I would really like to get working. Can someone recommend an up to date guide that can safely guide me through the process, I'm sure its not that complicated, but I have been away from the scene for a while and I really don't want to end up with a bricked device or accidentally pop an e-fuse (if thats still a thing).
I appreciate any help, advice, or direction that anyone can provide.
