Hi I have my tmobile note 2 unlocked currently and using it with my att sim card my question I need help on is ...
The unlock process used was the free one that you punch in some numbers and go to phone control and was out by Galaxy note 2 root. Com now I want to flash at&t Rom based I know how but my fear is once I root it will I lose the unlock ... Thanks any help will be appreciated

Now that my phone is unlocked on T-Mobile do I install ROM for T-Mobile or stay with ROM for ATT

You Must install roms from the company you got the phone from. Doesn't matter if you go to another carrier. If you don't install AT&T roms on an AT&T phone, you will brick your phone!

If my phone is still under contract can I still call at&t to get the unlock code?
I've been with at&t for over 2 years

NO. But you can try and see what they say. And there's a unlock thread already fyi!
Imho
Think of you did a lil more searching (Google is your friend) you'll find answers to most of your questions you have!
Just my 2¢®

Exactly bruh:thumbup:.
You know you can downgrade you radio/modem and use the unlock method from the hidden menu right!
Check here when you get a chance:

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

I called them and after he put me on hold to verify with their technician he got back on and told me other sim cards won't work with at&t phones lol bull****
I told them I wanted to use my work phones sim in my at&t phone because my work phone was broken

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.

Just use the unlock method posted on this forum. Worked for me.
Actually I read by law some carriers have to grant you if requested a unlock code...
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

Nice!!:thumbup: Kinda how I get things done when a rep/employee don't want to take care of things I need. And not just with AT&T I'll say. Whenever you go to Corporate your gonna get what you want..

Hello, I am about to purchase an unlock att note 3. But I have tmobile service. So my question is would. I have to root it and add rom's in the att section or tmobile section?
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You would root according to the At&t forums, and flash At&t Roms
Ok thanks for the info

I unlocked my T-Mobile Note 2 and successfully changed carrier to Straight Talk using AT&T cell. My question is once the Kitkat update rolls out, do I have to install a T-Mobile rom or an AT&T rom? Or is there any alternative? Please advise.

Doesn't matter. AT&T or N7105 are fine. Stick to the T-Mobile modem and the rest is details. The AT&T & N7105 communities are fairly active.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Am I interpreting this correctly, that you can just flash the att rom for a N7105 on the t889?

This morning I had some problems with my phone, so I had to reset the phone and reinstall everything. Thus far everything is good, I am more interested to know about AT&T rom on note 2, can we install it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
as long as the rom doesn't flash a new bootloader or modem (only a few do). you can flash at&t or n7105 roms
Nice to know... Thanks
