Any way to unlock for verizon?

I fixed a bricked AT&T note 2 that I got off craigslist but I have verizon. :banghead: I have a s3 now but really wanna use the note 2. Does the phone contain cdma hardware that can be unlocked through software modification? My verizon SIM fits into the slot so is there any way i can get the phone to connect? For example verizon iphone 5s can also be used on AT&T. What if i flashed the verizon firmware onto it? Any help at all? Or anyone wanting to trade? Haha.

Ugh. Has It ever been attempted or worth trying flashing the verizon radio/modem and firmware? Or is it seriously impossible?

What if you hard brick it to the point it can't b fixed. I would try and sell it since you fixed it. But first unlock it that way it'll b worth more! Then get you a Verizon model, I'm sure they're floating around out there somewhere!
You can try this method to unlock:

Not Registered on Network error

I recently received a T-Mobile Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889) and I can't seem to connect to T-Mobile's network. I checked the IMEI and according to T-Mobile, it is clean. I cannot make or receive calls/texts as I receive a "Not Registered by Network" error every time. Under the "Status" section in the Settings menu shows my phone number, but it says "Out of Service" under Service State and "Unknown" under Mobile Network Type as seen in the pictures. I was wondering if anyone could help me resolve this issue...Thanks!

Did you check with Tmobile directly? Third party sites that check IMEI often don't work. If you have service -service bars and data and still doesn't work, your IMEI is probably blocked. I can't think of anything else. Try to switch to different ROM

Try to replace the SIM card.

Try check the apn?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Are you just in a bad area for T-Mobile? Have you tried in a different location, or another phone from the same spot?

I tried changing SIM, the APN, and I know I am not in a bad T-Mobile area as I receive service on my S2 in the same spot.

You can also try to reflash stock firmware.

How would I do that and would that void the warranty?

You have to get the tar file and flash it via Odin. I don't believe it will void the warranty.

I have a question. If u have note 2. Then your factory warranty should be valid and cover ur type of problem. Since u have a S2 then use it temporary and use ur Samsung warranty to send the phone over.
But I have another suggestion. Take ur phone to store and let them use another sim and see what happens. Otherwise just send ur phone. And if happen that u have tmobile warranty then u will send them just ur phone without battery cover + battery it self + all accessories that came with the phone. And tmobile will send a brand new device in sealed box
I really hope that I helped. Thats all I know.
Good luck:beer:

You know you can downgrade you radio/modem and use the unlock method from the hidden menu right!

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.

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

Hey new here

Is there a new Android update I'm on att note 4 but T-Mobile network sorry been on a iPhone 6plus for a while can anyone help or at least send me to the right place?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

heya welcome. ok so you're att phone but t-mobile network so you'll probably find yourself bouncing between here and t-mobile section.
the issue with being an att phone on t-mobile is att will push out their updates through their mobile network, and since you're not on that mobile network you won't see them.
soooo if you want to get the latest update I would download Kies. that's Samsung official software to update your phone, and do other things with it via USB connection to your computer.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies
that's where you can download it. install it, connect your phone to your PC, and Kies will walk you through the rest. gl reply back if you have any trouble.

Cool and thanks I'll do that now and see what happens.

Update to AT&T Note 4 will only happen if there's an AT&T Sim card in the phone. Borrow someone's and it will work.

Doubt a dead Sim would work, as it won't connect. But yes, there are some threads here where you can find the update to install using Odin.
