Okay so me, my friend, and brother all have bell note 2 and unlocked no problem with the hidden menu.
My friend recently got a note 2 off craigslist but it was 4.1.2 so i downgraded it to 4.1.1 since some menu option where missing. all the menu options were there and i assumed it unlocked. So i went and flashed clean rom, and inserted his sim card and its not unlocked and saying only emergency phone calls. i reflashed it to stock 4.1.1 and attempted again and again. and searched forums for a similar problem but i havent been able to come across any. So far it seems like it works but then i put a foreign sim card in and now it says unregistered sim. but in my note 2 its fine.
Please help it would be so great ive been trying different methods and theories of my own for 5 hours LOL. thanks in advance.

by anychance do you know what i should do ?
I think i forget to mention that when i put the sim that the phone is locked too it works.
Better to ask in a non sprint/cdma sub forum to get your answer. Sprint/cdma doesn't use sims like gsm.

Alright,
I'll yet and reach out one more time.
I don't know wtf happened to my phone in the last 24 hours but I am getting a prompt to switch to global mode about every thirty seconds when I'm not in cell reception range.
This sucks because I live in a no reception area, I'm getting prompted 100 times an hour!
This never happened before yesterday when I flashed CM 10.1
I completely odin back to stock and re provisioned my device.. After flashing back I'm still getting these annoying prompts to enable global mode.
Can someone please tell me how to completely disable global mode?
What I'll never understand is I have been running the K3 ota for over a week and this only started yesterday.
Please help!
Thank you xda community!

I'm having the same exact issue, it just started. I don't know what's going on and I'm using Mean Lean Jellybean build 4, tomorrow I'm going to flash Build 5 but I've been using 4 for weeks. I also live in a bad service area. Hopefully someone can help, it nearly makes the phone unusable at home.

I did a dirty flash of Build 5 over Build 4 and it seems to have stopped. Maybe try a different ROM? I'll do some more testing and update this is if in fact the issue starts again.

I completely wiped my phone and installed a new Rom... issue is still present. I wish there was a way to just disable global mode all together. I'm not leaving the country anytime soon!

You know you guys are in the sprint section, not the Verizon section, and you posted in accessories, not q & a. You might want to get this thread moved by a mod.

I see this thread in the Verizon S3 section. Granted it is in the Accessories part. But I've never went into the Sprint section, so they must have the forums combined.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S III using xda-premium
Interesting, maybe it is combined. It still should be moved to q & a, would probably get more answers there.
What is "global mode" ?
It asks you to switch to it. What happens when you do?
Yea, I've never seen global mode on my sprint s3.
Global Mode is under more settings in the networks section..
This thing is driving me nuts! Sorry about the accessories post. Im going to repost
In q and a.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Not on a Sprint phone, our model isn't a world phone. You shouldn't need to repost, you can pm a mod and they will move it for you.

As the title says I update to 4.1.2 on thursday from stock 4.1.1 after update chexk everything worked and went ahead and rooted this beast . So then I had rooted stock 4.1.2 NO problems. Everything worked perfectly until Saturday afteroon when I went to exchange my batteries and accidentally took my sim card out also , which I thought was no big deal . Placed sim card back into phone booted up and then I got the Notification of No Sim please insert Sim . Checked and double check I put sim in correctly even tried different Sim but it doesnt work at all.
So I thought I could just figure it out on my on so just did some searching and trouble shooting attempted to flash a few different kernals and modems for phone found in the Dev section Stickies .
EVEN UNROOTED and went back to stock 4.1.1 and updated again to No avail tried root injected stock roms Nothing works .
I REALLY NEED HELP GETTING THIS TO READ MY SIM CARD AND WORKING BACK TO NORMAL , AS I USE IT FOR WORK AND SCHOOL .
Edit : when I rooted I made a back up but while flashing odin and unrooting I forgot about it and guess it got deleted wish I would of rememered right away and used it to revert back and see if that could of fixed it .

What method did you use to root?
I bought it in store but from an Tmobile Employee about a Month ago still had everything brand new basically jist used for for 3 weeks still have receipt and box .

I have two S3 phones, one purchased from Telus and one from AT&T. On Telus I can load Telus and AT&T firmware but on the AT&T only AT&T firmware. Is there a restriction or some other trick?

Yes there is. Also, you should always be using the one from the carrier it came from when using stock.
I thought they have the same hardware, can you elaborate why it can't be done?

Mind if I ask why it matters? (not trying to be rude)
And the bootloaders and radio are different if I remember correctly. (A simple search would give you a better, more detailed answer)

I can speak from experience, if he's in Canada on the Stock ATT ROM, on the Telus Network, the Stock ROM could get very annoying.
For example:
When you open the contacts app it tries to sync to ATT for a good 1-3 minutes until it finally fails because it can't sync to ATT and only then can you see your contacts.

I don't think you understood is question correctly. He wants to know why he can't load the Telus stock ROM on his AT&T device.

No I understand the question, I was just letting you know a reason on "why it matters" and why he may want to have telus on his att variant.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
The difference is the modem which connects to the network, wifi, Bluetooth and carrier restrictions/bloatware. You should use the rom that corresponds to your device to avoid issues with connecting to your network and etc. I think someone mentioned it could brick your phone (flashing Telus rom onto att s3).

So I rooted and friends phone a while ago and threw him on PA, He updated a few times, And recently was going to update to the latest version.
He screwed up and flashed a rom from tOlte, Which is the Note 2 apparently.
He says it flashed then he went to reboot.
And now it's pretty much over.
I'm sure this has happened a million times, And I would search the forum for the answer but i'm not from these parts of the forum, I found a few other slightly similar situations but none are exactly the same so I figured i'd make a new thread.
ANYWHO!
Anyone got any help for us?

Google JTAG Galaxy S3 T999 and do some research on it and get some prices, This phone is easily revived using this service. I've never experienced this first hand but there are folks who do this for a living and are darn good at it!
hope this helps

Yes it most likely would fix it.
Even though you are not familiar with this forum, please search before posting. And just a quick glance at each section would've put you on the right track.
Or just look at the page layout, you will see a search xda box and a search this forum box.
Anyway, the info you want is stickied at the top of Android Development section.
Good luck with it!

I was trying to flash my note 2 back to the stock sprint os and instead i flashed the verizon os. idiot move i know.
Now my phone turns on with the verizon logo and says the sim card is not a valid verizon card.
Did i mess up my phone or is there a way i can flash the original stock srpint os back on? if so, which file do i need to download to do that? I dont care about losing data since i already lost it when i flashed the verizon os.
any help would be appreciated.
