Where is the option to unlock and flash stock unbranded android?

By stock Android do you mean a version of Cyanogenmod? I don't know if it is yet available for our phones. If by unbranded you mean a Samsung Touchwiz based rom with the Samsung apps removed, then that can be done by visiting the Development forum for this device. There are Touchwiz based custom roms to be found there.
Welcome to the Galaxy Note 2 and good luck.

If by unlock you mean for any carrier this worked perfectly for me on stock rom.

I have been thinking about flashing a AT&T Rom.......

So I did! Works flawless. Check the included pic. Everybody in both forums act like oh stay in your forums don't try it. We should all work together to better the community as a whole. I can confirm all works well, not a single issue.
ummm you obviously have an att s3 it says i747 in your pic. so why would it be a problem for you to flash a att rom? lol
i don't get the point of your post..

I obviously have a tmo T999 check the baseband, you might notice it is a LH2 I believe. Just trying to open doors for people for more options to flash is the point of the thread and hopefully bring some cross development to both forums.
wtf.. didn't know it would change your model number description.. anyways what rom is it?
Yeah I knew it would change my build prop, but had no idea the kernel would work. The Rom is sweet and it is listed at the bottom of the pic(not sure how to spell it) Love the options this might open up. Just understand, it will be unsupported, so you have to be able to trouble shoot it if any issues arise(none as of 3+ hours)
At&t MIUI Rom works too.

Need Help Doing this.
I am new to this Android world. I came from AppleLand. I got T-mobile branded Galaxy S3 witch is SIM unlocked and currently using it with AT&T. I would like to flash AT&T rom on this t-mo Galaxy S3. I have no clue where to start and how to do it. I read on this forum that flash counter is may be a problem if I flash non stock ROM. My question is
1. Is it possible to flash ATT rom on T-Mo galaxy S3?
2. That counter thing is going to be a problem?
3. Is my phone has to be ROOTED first?
4. All AT&T apps will work?
5. If there is any problem, Can I go back to T-Mobile rom?
Thanks.

My question to you is what for you do before flashing or did you just do the regular wipe cache and data factory reset? Also what recovery are you using?? Im on TWRP will that be an issue or should I go back to clockwork??

Can't wait to get some good MIUI ROMs on this phone, has anyone with a T999V tried flashing AT&T ROMs yet?
Just an update, I have flashed a working Sprint Rom, I had to edit the apn before flashing(if you don't know how to and what this is, don't do it you will not have data) but the Rom runs great. The Verizon Roms want to verify you are on Verizon, so I am working on it. So I have run AT&T and Sprint Roms with success with working data.

[Q] N7105 Roms?

Why is there little to no Rom Development for the N7105 version of the Note II?
I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs hoping for something epic to arise :crying:
Also, is there any possible way of flashing an N7100 rom without causing instability?
There are custom roms actually: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1960
No idea for the compatibility but I think it could work.
You can flash anything from the tmobile and att note 2 forums on your n7105

Can you explain better? do you mean i can install any N7000 ROM to a N7105 device?
I have a N7105 from Portugal, and therefore neither from tmobile or ATT...

anyway, for less experienced members like me it would be safer to wait for a "full ROM pack"
Theres not much in the way of custom Roms available at the moment. Wannam did say he was considering a port of his rom and I would love for Indie to port the Omega Rom.
However I am running a deodexed stock rom with Nova launcher and a few tweaks flashed such as multi windows, auto call recording and Directory Bind and you'd never know the difference. You just have to find compatible versions of the tweaks you want to flash and flash them individually.
Ram usage isn't really an issue but if you want the bloat removed just freeze with titanium backup.

[Q] I9300XXUFME3 – Android 4.2.2 leaked firmware Intl Galaxy S III ONLY! DO NOT FLASH

MOD EDIT: DO NOT FLASH THIS, IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
The 4.2.2 stock firmware for the GS3 has leaked here http://www.sammobile.com/2013/05/20...lly-bean-leaked-firmware-for-the-galaxy-s-iii. I realize that this is for the international version of the GS3 but I am curious if this works for the AT&T version (or any other version for that matter)?
Nope. Uses a different CPU.

That's what I thought. It escaped my mind that the international version uses the exynos quad core. Well, It's been widely rumored that the official 4.2 update will be pushed some time in June. Thx

Flashing international SGS3 ROMs / firmware will hard brick your device.
I think it would be a good idea if mods would delete this entire thread so we don't have people trying to download and flash it.

The question 'can you flash an i9300 rom on the ATT version?' is all that needs to be asked if there is really a question. Links should not be posted and are completely unnecessary.
The answer to that noob question is a quick NO and you don't have other noobs clicking unnecessary links and flashing incompatible roms.

[Q] Question about firmware

Hi, this is my first post here and I've done some searching and I've got confused with the firmware names between stock and original.
Currently I have a T-mobile 4.1.1 baseband T889UVALL4 with T-mobile firmware.
What I am trying to understand and do is change from t-mobile firmware as it has t-mobile apps to a samsung firmware and their apps /non t-mobile apps.
Is this something possible? Where can I find these firmwares and what is the latest version?
Thanks & regards
First off welcome..Why dont u give tweaked a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242972 Its the only rom I use on my phone.. You have the ability on install to choose the amount of bloat u want and it's super customizable....... as for the international roms be mindful they don't have wifi calling
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Look up teshxx in the development section he has stock samsung roms. Keep scrolling the different roms til you find the latest updated one, cause he have quite a few posted. If you ever want to try a custom rom, try Jedi x14 by ptmr3 which is great.

What is the difference between factory and stock image?
Ive seen the topic where it has all images for t889 but I cannot distinguish what are those.
If I want to have a samsung only firmware on my t889 , what king of file should I be looking for?

Anyone? Any place I should look?

Factory and stock should be the same just wording. What are you looking for ? Do u want a rooted stock rom. If so downloaded teshxx deodexed

Hi, thanks for your help. What I am looking for is remove anything related to T-MOBILE from my phone, so it looks like the Samsung Firmware without T-Mobile apps, in order words, to look like the international Samsung Galaxy Note 2, unbranded.
How can I do this? What is odexed/deodexed btw?

Hi deeznutz1977 thanks for your help.
From what I could read, a ROM is something you put on top of the firmware.
Is there anyway to put a Samsung firmware from scratch without those T-Mobile brand on the SGH-T889?
So it would be a brand new firmware, no ROMS or t-mobile apps.
Thanks for you help and patience.
Best Regards

*Rooting for Kitkat Note 2 How is it?

how is the latest kitkat for note 2? im on 4.1.2 is it worth the upgrade? if so which version? thanks
What? You Need to be more descriptive. The Note 2 doesn't have official Kit Kat so im assuming you mean AOSP or CM based? If that's what you are looking for best thing to do is flash away or read the ROM thread. Latest official update is 4.3 not 4.4...
Ps: The title should have some correlation to the question at hand.

There is no "best rom" you just continue to flash until you find one you like and THAT is the "best rom" out there

Look in the Original Android Dev section. Pick a ROM and read the flashing instructions on their OP. Then you will have your 4.4 rom. Just know its not official. Its AOSP or CM based.

And "don't" take the official update to 4.3...
It "will" lock your bootloader...and void your warranty if you root the official 4.3...

Anytime you fool with your phone beyond using stock tools and apps you void your warranty.
