So I bought a note 2 last night unlocked it by dialing and some clicking thru menus and using it on tmobile with full data speed.
My question is im familiar with rooting and custom roms. Can I install any roms and still use it on tmobile network?
Or do I need to dial again and go thru those menus?

You can flash whatever you want in this section. Most rom dont touch apns or basebands

You should be fine. Kernels and Roms don't touch that portion of your phone. Either way if it does, super easy to do again!

Is there a way to unlock this setting?
Search the forums. There's a way around it.

Golly thanks. Never would have thought of that. Any clues on which forums to search? The ATT forums pulled up nothing for me.
No way I've found around it.. don't know what he is talking about.

Search "GSLEON APN Unlock" in AT&T Development. I'd post a link if I wasn't on my phone.
Edit: Scratch that. Can't find it in there anymore. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Anyway if that is what you are talking about adding an non lte apn can be done but that is nit the same thing as unlocking it enabling manual network selection.

Is it something in the SIM that locks it?
i would greatly appreciate if someone found it!
What are you guys trying to do with this? When I go through it seems to be unlocked I can choose att and T-Mobile and I'm on att network
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Where did you get the phone? I'm guessing from your sig you are rooted and running a non-ATT rom?
if you are talking to me i got my phone from att and i am using my att rom

Is that all it takes? Coolio. What is the best way to unlock? Also, I'm not worried about LTE vs 4G , just carrier selection.
oh im not unlocked either phone is just rooted running my rom
Would unlocking get carrier selection working?
I'm not sure I have carrier selection and I'm not unlocked

Just rub a little salt in the wound why doncha... lol. That is where I wanna be. I get into areas where the ATT signal is weak but present, and the phone will go on a roaming network. If I reboot it comes back up on ATT. Might have to go the root/rom route. Unless unlocking will get me there...
So the title says it all, I have a T-Mobile gs3 that is unlocked running on Att. How do I go about flashing att Roms to this phone, I've read many places its possible and I've never been steered wrong by xda so help me out?

You really don't need to. Its the same thing. Just keep a tmo ROM on. It will still work. If anything flash a radio. I know on galaxy s 2 radios are compatible. Not sure about the s3 since the att version has lte.

I have he ATT Samsung note 2 i-317. I want to know if it would be bad if I wanted to flash the T-Mobile Miui Rom. I wouldn't care if I couldn't use LTE since I rarely use it. Would anything go bad if I flashed the rom?

As long as its for the T-Mobile note2 you should be fine. Fine as in it shouldn't brick you. You may have to adjust APN or maybe even flash a att note2 aosp kernel to get things working right. Let us know how it goes

That one has a little bit of problems. The T-Mobile miui is said to not have those problems. I tried the AT&T one already :/

Its the same developer you can use the tmobile version it doesnt have radio and its port from the International ver
Everything ran pretty great. Still had signal and everything.

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

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.

Phone is originally att and I unlocked it by flashing 4.1.1. I hardly ever get service in my work building. And service switches from e to 4g way to much. And I miss calls all.the time. Like ill have service but phone will not ring. What can I do to fix this. I love the phone but its impossible to use for original purpose

You sure you have signal service with any ATT phone at your work place?.
At my work place i had to switch to Plane mode because it was no to 1 bar service which can't make/receive any phone calls and it happened to all ATT coworkers phone.
Yes im on tmobile. But my nexus 4 would have excellent service here. Not really good data. But phone reception yes

Did you flash the AWS mod (I believe thats what its called). It should allow your phone to use another radio band used by tmobile.

You know you can upgrade your modem to see if your reception will improve? As it should with a newer modem release...
