Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.

Ohhh ok... But you're not rooted? Strange...
Anyways, here is the link. Whenever efrant tells you to either "fastboot" or "adb", just put ./ in front of it. That's the command for Mac and Linus

Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.
So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.

You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.

That's not at all what I said.
Follow the guide. But for the userdata image (which you don't have), boot into recovery and wipe data.
I finally did it!! If anyone needs help let me know. PM me.

I want to flash a custom rom on my Note 2 from bell mobility.
I'm following steps from wiki called How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")
When I type heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot, it gives me a message "heimdall is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
First of all what is your model number? Are you rooted? Custom recovery?

I'm not rooted. I'm following the steps in "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE"
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called Download Mode which is very similar to Fastboot Mode on some devices with unlocked bootloaders. Heimdall is a cross-platform, open source tool for interfacing with Download Mode on Samsung devices. The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary.

Model number is SGH-i317M. M simply means Bell Mobility, they always add "M" at the end. Otherwise it's the same, no difference.

Thank you but this one is using odin I think. I heard that Heimdall is better. If you go to the cyanogenmod website and select Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte"), then you can click "How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")" and it has the instuctions. This is the part I'm having a problem with. This is the guide they provide for the cyanogenmod, so it's kind of "official" and that's why I want to use it. Also when I'm stuck at something I want to figure it out instead of jumping from one thing to another. I don't understand why it's not working I'm following all the instructions. I'm wondering if anyone used the method I'm trying to use.
Have you installed Heimdall on your mac computer? You have to install it on your computer, NOT on your phone..
Then you place your phone in download mode, and run the heimdall command from your Mac..
AND, if instruction on XDA appear "too sophisticated" for you, then you are NOT ready to root your phone, trust me on this one..
But hey, its your phone, so go crazy....

There's nothing more official about this method than any of the others suggested. And wade I'd right, if the other methods are too sophisticated for you then you aren't ready for this.

Hahaha:good: It's just a matter of following steps. And from reading the guide I don't need to root my phone. I like when everything is complete and clear. After so many years I though it would become simpler to install a rom, not more complicated.
I have a PC, not a Mac. But how do I install it on my computer? It doesn't say neither how nor that I need to in the instructions.

They look sophisticated, but I can still do them. I flashed roms with odin on my galaxy s 2. However I already started with something so that's how I want to finish it. Also the creator of the rom provides instructions how to install his rom so that's why I want to do it that way.
Heimdall is for mac's not pc's, so if you want to install ANY custom rom on your phone, you need to be able to use Odin
and, you MUST root your phone to install Cyanogen mod or any custom rom, period, no matter what you might have read..

Don't be so negative. Isn't cyanogenmod the best rom out there for android? In that case I thought the best way to install it is to follow the directions the creators of this rom give you.

1. Is the bootloader unlocked? If yes, flash TWRP and wipe everything. Flash back stock recovery and flash stock firmware via ADB Sideload.
2. If no, just reflash stock firmware via stock recovery using ADB Sideload.
There's many guides about these around XDA. You're better to use search function to search on how to do bla bla.

Here you go.. Make sure you substitute the Verizon firmware for the AT&T firmware as @TechNyne66 said, the OGG firmware.. As long as it's firmware from AT&T you should be good to go.. However if it still errors out and doesn't work that means they (AT&T) have blocked it and you'll have to enter into recovery and select full system restore in order to fix it and get it back to where it is right now.. I'd first make a backup if I were you!!

If you are past the the PH4 update this is not the thread for you.
If you are still on PH4, stop trying to downgrade your bootloader, unless you are flashing a Binary 3 bootloader.
All of this has been explained within this forum. Check my profile and go to my posts. I've already wrote it all up two or three times...
