could ATT note 2 radios be flashed to international? since the hardware is pretty much identical. or does the lack of LTE int he N7100 kill that thought. just curious
No.
Do not try that unless you are interested in a completely bricked phone.
There would be no way to recover if you do so.
It's the bootloader (that's what xdau taught me.) And it's not cross compatible at all.

So I dropped my S3 in water a few nights ago (doh!). I left it in rice for a day as advised, and it had since been operating as usual. Would this water episode disrupt or negatively affect flashing roms in the future?
Thanks in advance.
Btw I'm fairly new. Been rooted for under a month.

Not to be a ****, but we're supposed to use our magical powers to detect if the subtle circuitry inside of your phone is short circuited... how?
Yes, it's possible that when your phone took a dive something shorted which could cause an issue with flashing ROMs. It's also possible that nothing at all is wrong with your phone since it appears to work fine.
Or, I'm just a random person on the internet like everyone else who would potentially respond with no more or no less accurate of an answer for you because none of us are omnipotent.
If the phone works. You can flash

Thanks. I figured as much. Obviously not expecting anyone on here to be some sort of god, but it couldn't hurt to ask some more seasoned guys? Maybe this happened to someone and they tried it? Again, thanks.

Hi everybody! My Note II is coming for me tomorrow, from England to Brazil, it is sim-unlocked.
But I have a (maybe a noob) doubt about updates - Via Kies or ODIN:
I am sure that the Big Baby Note II will receive the update to enable multi-windows coming directly from BTU - As the firmware I suppose will be BTU Unbranded.
But, after the update, it will still be sim-unlocked? And if it locks again, there's an safe method to sim-unlock again? Hypothetical speaking, if it locks again.
I never had an imported device, and here in Brazil all devices comes unlocked from factory - It's a Law.
Someone could, please, answer my doubts, or even indicate some safe method to unlock it - Hope I will not need this - Just in case, and as I didn't found any thread here talking about this subject.
Thanks!
If you bought an unlocked phone, it will be forever.
I've never heard of a carrier who forces a lock on your SIM free phone. That'd be wrong.
So don't worry.

Not sure I understand completely. But as my phone is SIM free, I have the liberty to use any SIM card.

Hi guys
Ive had me Note 2 for over a week and have being trying to resist rooting it, but am slowly giving in to my urges:fingers-crossed:
My model is the 7100T and theres not much info out there about this model. The only difference is the frequency i think for telecom New Zealand.
Do you think i would be safe to root with a 7100 method?
Any help appreciated
thanks
Pretty sure, but not certain, you'll be ok with Chainfire's Exynos abuse method. Definitely no guarantees so good if you can find others who've used it first.

I also have the 7100t. I rooted with Exynos Method and it worked fine. Even did the multi window and that worked too. Hope this helps :silly:
Well i dont see a problem doing this. tho i would be carefull about what firmware i trow on. but you can always flash it back. if you took a Nandroid backup...
About the radio. you can flash what ever radio you want. they shuld all work just that some works better in your aera then others you kinda have to test them one by one for your self.
I say with note 2 all you need is rooted stock.
Can someone help me with this topic:
I rooted my galaxy tab2 GT-P3100 n flashed few roms like CM10,AOSP but then I had to flash the stock romantic back because most of the apps started crashing(message: sorry the__app___ is closed unfortunately) but after flashing stock1 things were same, nowhere to go unfortunately I had to sell that1....... Now i purchased GN2 I can't stay unrooted but I am worrying if same happens this time too..... Can someone answer me why this thing happens(unfortunate app crashes) ?

Most of the time it is because the os is not supported on that app ... Like when ICS first came out you have some apps that won't work on it .... There is usually nothing that can't be fixed you didn't have to sell it just find out what wasnt right and fix it ..

I haven't experienced a single unwarranted app crash. The few times I did have a crash it was do to user error or restoring app data. Did you make sure that you wiped everything between roms? Any left over data can cause all sorts of issues down the line.

Rooting the Note 2 doesn't take away any functionality, if anything it adds extra functionality that wasn't there by default.
For example: Do you happen to use the multi-window capability that the device has? If you do, wouldn't it be even better if you could use any app you wanted and not just the predetermined choices? Most custom roms offer that to root users.
What apps are useless with root? How is the Spen useless?
The only time that my Spen has ever been useless is when I'm not using it. Even aosp roms that don't natively support it have apps that will bring most of, if not all of, it's practical applications back. And aosp is only an option and not a requirement to being rooted.
I apologize if this seems overly harsh or blunt but for someone who blatantly states "I have never rooted any of my device [e]ven my gn 2" I would refrain from giving out false information, and if you truly wish to help out someone with a question pertaining to things that you don't understand (as of yet) that you would research it to give your response a more meaningful bit of advice.

They run on different network types, they have different software and some different hardware and entirely different model numbers. You want the gt-n7100/n7105 forums this is the sph-l900. If you use anything from this forum you run a real good risk of bricking your phone. Your total lack of knowledge between the device differences is one reason you definitely shouldn't be rooting your phone and most likely the reason you broke the last device you tried to root.

I never root by reading on xda I just Google for the roms or pda files for my model........ By the way what different hardware u got in ur model. My GN2 costed me rs. 40000=approx 930 USD(after conversion)..........Plz mention the hardware difference.... It's damn so disappointing If u got tegra enabled GN2 much cheaper than me......N 1 more thing I rooted my device

We have CDMA radios, LTE radios, no wireless charging, partitions are formatted differently for the different partitions required by the network differences and other country specific differences. The differences aren't huge but their enough to make them 2 entirely different devices that can't share software/firmware without modification if it can share them at all, some things arent interchangeable no matter how much you modify them, like modems.

You could unlock your device if its not already (not sure if international devices are tied to a specific carrier) and use any of our GSM networks like at&t or t-mobile or the numerous prepaid variants of the 2. That's the one nice thing about unlocked GSM devices all you have to do to change networks is switch out the SIM card.

We have lotzzz of carriers here and I have 5 sim cards. Sometimes, I use 2 cards simultaneously with a dual slot chip set does this means my model is unlocked?

Most likely, im not even sure foreign carriers lock their devices like they do here in the US. If you bought your phone full price then its more than likely unlocked, the more I think about it I'm almost positive most foreign carriers don't provide locked phones outside of a few UK and French carriers that sell carrier branded hardware.

I suggest you unroot your device. You seem you didnt get any advantage from rooting other than wasting your own time.
OP,
You have an international version so you're already unlocked. Is there any app that you need super user access for? Do you care to modify your phone, or are you happy with it the way it is? If you like the phone the way it is, leave it unrooted. You'll get software updates faster, won't void your warranty, and won't mess with something you may have no need for.
Quick question. My in laws are moving to China. They live in the States but my father in law was wondering if they can unlock the device to use over in China. Someone (I don't remember who) said it can be unlocked and used over there. I said that I don't think it can be and that you need to international version for it to work. Any help would be great.
