At&T version on Bell

I asked this question over on androidforums.com, but I did not receive a definitive answer. If I purchased a used At&T GS3, would I be able to use it with full LTE functionality on the Bell Canada network if I unlocked it?
Thanks.

I would imagine us they're the exact same phone both i747

Thanks. Can anyone confirm this?

Well you can use any unlocked phone on Bell. So basically it should work

No you can't. The LTE frequencies are different.

I can confirm that they are exactly the same hardware. You could flash the bell firmware from Samfirmware on the AT&T version, and it would be identical to what you get from a bell store here in canada. The LTE Frequency for AT&T is different, as another poster noted, but the Radio firmware for Bell would make it work.

No they aren't.. same thing.. you can flash a AT&T modem on a Bell phone, hence, the same.

I am running the latest att firmware on my bell phone so no issues

I wouldn't, I've heard mixing the Canadian and T-mobile ROMs is a one-way ticket to brick. Stick to ROMs designed specifically for the SGH-T999 (T-Mobile version).

We could port it. Why do you want that rom?

Don't mention it. I was so stupid and didn't look around before purchasing this phone.
I am a Canadian Mobilicity user, I usually buy T-Mobile phone, but this time i didn't realize Mobilicity carry GS3. With T-Mobile custom Rom there alot of junk apps. Such as T-Mobile Hot-Spot, Access T-Mobile else. Since I saw SGH-T999 and SGH-T999v are the same spec just wonder if I can load Mobilicity Rom to my T-Mobile GS3 phone. So that i can use their custom apps

You can jut copy their apps to /system/app/ and they should work.

[Q] UK NoteII 7105 4.1.2 UK

Hi,
I have a Galaxy note ii 7105
I read everywhere that Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is out in the UK for OTA or Kies but i have been trying for a week and no sign of an update.
Any one know when it is coming or is there something I am doing wrong?
My device is
AP:N7105XXALIJ
CP:N7105BVALIG
CSC:N7105EVRALIC
I was given the phone as a gift and think it came from EE but it is unlocked and I have my O2 sim in it at the moment.
Any help advice, has anyone else managed to undate it over the air or via kies.
I dont want to root it as I only have a MAC (its a girl thing) so cant run any of the third party update software.
Let me know and is it totally frustrating to keep reading about this update and not be able to get it..
Cheers
Bex

Unlocked btu is not out in the uk only 3 or vodaphone locked handsets .... No details of when unlocked 4.1.2 uk will be out
Is on the csc of the phone not what sim your using

Hi Bex
Look like the latest is what you have no one on lte is showing 4.1.2 as far as I can see
To be honest 4.1.2 on standard note 2 caused all kind of battery problems in not rushing to update my note 2
CSC is the code which determines where your phone comes from and which updates you have

Thank you for that for that I will just have to sit and wait. I have to say that sucks this is the one downside of Andriod compared to Apple.

Alas Bex that is the downside with samsung they have a strange roll out for updates
Normally unlocked handsets get the update first but on my note 2 (not 4g) two mobile operators 3 and vodaphone have pushed out the 4.1.2 update first and im on unlocked version and havent got it so im spitting feathers

My CSC ends in ALJ4 and I am on BTU UK firmware. Does that mean my phone is unlocked? It is unbranded and I bought it from carphone warehouse as an upgrade for o2.

As I understand it, BTU is unlocked - it is the generic UK firmware ie not linked to a particular carrier.

Samsung really need to sort this out as this kind of lack of consistency will lose them users. I see why Nexus devices are so popular as they always get updates. I love my Nexus7 its a joy to uses. Shame my NoteII is stuck on 4.1.1 I am not going to root it but Samsung are opening themselves up to people hacking with there lack of updates.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Hi
I'm probably picking up a T889 tonight from Kijiji. It was bought through Wind apparently.
Does Wind still lock their phones, or can I just pop in my Mobilicity sim card?
If it is locked, what's the best way to get it unlocked? Anyone have good result with a particular service, or homebrew method?

Wind does still lock their phones I would suggest if it's on 4.1.1 then use the free way to unlock it but if it's on 4.1.2 the use cellunlockers.net

Hi guys, you can unlock you N7105 via the Samsung hidden menu. [Also works with N7100 and some Galaxy S3 (SIII) variants - NOT ALL]
=======================================
Before doing the instructions below, please double check your phone that it is actually LOCKED by inserting a sim card from a different carrier/provider...
Quote:
Unlock your N7105:
Note: your phone must be running at least Jelly Bean 4.1 otherwise some of the menu choices are not present
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone... enjoy!!! There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull.... just reboot your phone....
To test, just insert a sim card from a different carrier/provider. If the new sim card works then your phone is now unlocked.
I have done this to my other Note 2 N7105 originally locked to Orange.....
========================================
Do this procedure AT YOUR OWN RISK
========================================
To those who were able to unlock their phone with the method above, can you please post in the thread and let us know which phone model (N7100 or N7105) you have, Country and Network/Carrier your phone was locked to...... and if I have saved you some cash, please click the Thanks button or the Donate button on the left just below my name to buy me a can/bottle of Heinekken, Quilmes, Budweiser, Fosters, Tiger, Stella Artois, or San Miguel ...
========================================
I have mentioned in my old thread that there was a pop up message that says "Conditional call forwarding active" everytime I make a phone call using another SIm card that the phone was not able to use before unlocking.
I can confirm that this was due to my Sim card. It is a very old O2 sim card that I have used for years. I have tried that Sim card on another factory unlocked phone (Galaxy i8160 bought from P4u) and it had the same message.

Actually, you'll want to flash the "LTE" version that's meant for the Qualcomm radio equipped Note 2s. Not the Intel baseband HSPA-only GT-N7100.

Has anyone tried any AOKP based ROMs? If so, how are data speeds?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I've been through many Cyangenmod roms and they've been fine. Your radio should be unchanged as AOSP roms don't come with a modem so data speeds should be the same. Battery life takes a big hit though on anything not Touchwiz from personal experience.

Hey Byangmang whats your favorite ROM then? I would really like to know. Thanks

I've been through most of the popular AOSP and Touchwiz roms before settling with Jedi X as my faily driver. This rom has great battery life and solid performance, with a lot of useful customizations. Definitely recommend that one.

[Q] I just bought a N7100 however..

I just bought a N7100 however it seems to be network locked.
I could not find any unlocker who would provide network unlock code for Puerto Rico - Claro branded Samsung Note 2 N7100.
My only other option is to unlock it by code however I do not know which ROM/Kernel/modem combo would allow me to use the code
*#197328640#
The one that comes with the phone is Claro stock 4.3. I rooted it and flashed several stock 4.1.2 but the option "[6] Network Lock" and " [3] Perso SHA 256 " are not availble to change.
Can anyone tell me which ROM/kernel/modem would allow me to remove the network lock? Thanks in advance.

Take a look here, is for note 3, communicate with the developer maybe is possible to try at note 2 also.

None of the 4.1.1 stock would give me network unlock prompt via the hiden menu.
It was also difficult finding unlocking via imei because the imei unlock coxe database was off of latin america despite the fact that Puerto Rico belong to USA.
I just found a Canadian unlocker who used USB method. He unlocked my n7100 in 30 minutes through remote access. Cost was 20 US dollars. It has been working great so far.
I thought I was gonna be stuck with a unlockable phone thats as good as a dead brick. Anyhow Thanks for your help guys.
