[Q] Rooting the note2 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just curious as to some insight as to how this bad boy was rooted so stinking quickly.
Anyone who can break it down a bit without getting too technical would be appreciated.

Probably because its so similar to the GS3 and the international version of GN2.

Was it some sort of back door exploit?

Samsung never lock their bootloaders.

[Q] Question for Sprint Employees or members with Sprint "connection"

Is there any sign/hint that Samsung's Note or better Note2 would be offered as Sprint phone?
Thanks,
PS Just asking because it's time to upgrade, but willing to wait for Note 2 vs get GSIII.
What's wrong with the gs3.?.

There's no evidence yet, but I don't see why not. The original Note was a bigger success than Samsung anticipated and it'd be even bigger if it was on all four carriers. With the SGSIII, Samsung tried more of a unified launch, so it is feasible that they'd do something similar with the Note. They've got a launch announcement coming soon, so I guess we will see then. It's all up to Sprint.
I swore I saw a post somewhere that said the note 2 was in fact coming to sprint... Lemmee go lookee....

[Q] Why separate forums for LTE Note II?

Don't recall separate carrier forums for the EVO. What's the reasoning behind this?
Yeah, I thought that was a but much and a CDMA section would do just fine, but this is much better than before!

I don't know who made the call but it seems like a tough call. Since you cannot run the roms from those other note ii I think it is the right decision. This way if you get a rom from here you know it is right. A lot of people where getting confused before the spilt and were running roms from the International version and getting messed up.

i see a lot of nice roms in the main section, i am crossing my fingers we get some of those optimized for us sprint users. specifically i really want the multi-window functionality.

multi tasking on the us variant gs3

so im still shocked about this whole note 2 update that hasnt found its way into the galaxy s3 tmobile version yet, i just saw that now sprint has the update and even modded the multi tasking with a transparent multi tasking mod..sprint?? they were like the last ones to get the gs3 on board, tmobile was the first??i am in complete awe of this and was wondering if anyone had any insight on the matter, it cant be possible that now, the gs3 international version, the galaxy s2 and just recently the american sprint version has all the goodies and we're not even close, i really am speechless, any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your contribution, you've done wonders for my phone

Wow. Is that really what it comes down to? I've said it before. Just because you donated x amount does not give you any privileges to treat others that way. Or make you better than someone who hasn't. A donation is a donation not buying yourself into a certain group of elite users. What are you guys , five?

Any way to unlock for verizon?

I fixed a bricked AT&T note 2 that I got off craigslist but I have verizon. :banghead: I have a s3 now but really wanna use the note 2. Does the phone contain cdma hardware that can be unlocked through software modification? My verizon SIM fits into the slot so is there any way i can get the phone to connect? For example verizon iphone 5s can also be used on AT&T. What if i flashed the verizon firmware onto it? Any help at all? Or anyone wanting to trade? Haha.

What if you hard brick it to the point it can't b fixed. I would try and sell it since you fixed it. But first unlock it that way it'll b worth more! Then get you a Verizon model, I'm sure they're floating around out there somewhere!
You can try this method to unlock:

Try telling them you will be traveling internationally to a specific country for several months for business or school (I like New Zealand ) and would like to use a local carrier's service with your phone while there. They might grant you an exception. If you are on contact those terms will still apply. Good luck. :thumbup:
Edit .. Or you can use the unlock method noted above... That worked for me

Now I'm on the hunt for a downgraded ROM...I found a stock 4.1.1 ROM but can you flash a actual stock ROM using cwm or do I have to use Odin and unroot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG SGH - I317 using xda app-developers app
You only need to flash the older modem (from same model phone), then flash back current modem. Search this forum.. You will find cwm packages for this.

No & no. All you need to do is downgrade your modem perform the unlock. Then reboot, then re-flash the latest modem back on the device!
Here's the first AT&T modem release:

I'm give you the first release. But you'll have to do some homework and find the newest modem. To flash back on your device.

It has to be least 6 months in contract nothing less.....And if they argue and so no..ask for supervisor. ..he he still does not give it to you ASK FOR A CLAIM TO CORPORATE. .I got a unlock code within 15min.....from corporate giving me mine...I was actually still on the phone with att supervisor when he filed a complaint and mailed corporate. ..I didn't answer the other line, , but I checked it and sure enough they gave it to me without any issues....tell them you travel...they need not more then that....it works belive me..I dont this to every phone in past 3 years every 6 months
