Go to the Dev section and find what you need there.
You will find instructions on how to download and apply the 4.1.1 so you can do the free unlock. Did it with mine and my wife's phones with no issues.

Downgrade to 4.1.1 radio. Thats what I did and had no issues with the secret menu on 4.12.

You can call AT&T support center and say that you are going out of country and you need to get your phone unlocked. I did it last week, and they gave me the codes with out any issues. I did need to be on touchwiz for the code to work

You really only need the 4.1 modem. Its called the J2 modem. It has the service menu where you change the unlock setting, and all other modems don't.

Hello Everybody
I have a Sim unlocked US Tmobile SGH-T989 on stock ROM 2.3.6.
I am using it in India. When I try to update it from settings menu it says "no firmware".
Currently my phone is unrooted and stock. How can I update it to ICS and also will I loose the Sim unlock if I update it.
Please help.

No you won't loose SIM unlock by upgrading. You will lose root if you were, which you're not so you're good there.

And yes kies or ODIN are your only bets of getting the update onto your phone.

Thanks, I got the update with Kies.
Can u guys help me how to remove all the Tmobile customized stuff and also add video calling feature.
Here in India we use video call through 3G network (UMTS) and not thriugh wifi or ant data plan
The Tmobile US version of S II is really great, far more superior than the international one.
Thanks for your help

I have a Note 2 i317m from rogers, but I had it unlocked for use on the telus network.
If I root it, will I have to unlock it again ? and will I lose everything on the phone ?
I'm new to rooting, I just don't want to take any chances in losing everything, also, is there a way to back everything up and get it back on the phone after rooting if I choose to root it?
just trying to cover all my bases before I get it rooted.
thanks.

Hi I just unlocked the note 2 att version to work for t-mobile by downgrading to firmware 4.1.1. Now I can use the phone for t-mobile. I now want to root and have an updated t-mobile based custom rom installed.
To achieve this must I first odin flash t-mobile's official 4.1.3 (or 4.1.2) firmware and
then root and then install a t-mobile 4.1.3 (or 4.1.2) based custom rom?
Or can I simple root and just install a 4.1.3 (or 4.1.2) t-mobile custom rom?
Thanks!

you should be able to root 4.1.1 and I think you should be able to root it with the exynos abuse apk. if not cf auto root should handle it. then you can add recovery and flash any rom you wanted
I've done this too. I was wondering if international ROMs would work on the att note2 unlocked and on T-Mobile. I've searched around but I found it tough to get a strait answer. I will probably just try it and see but wanted to ask first.

Make sure you stick with your device's native modems. Don't try a T889 modem on an I317. You will be sad.

I've been reading and searching and reading for days, trying to get LTE working. I should have just waited and found a T-Mobile note2.

If not, stick with your I317 modems and follow the OP process.

I have read all of that thread. The only thing I have not tried from it was changing the imei to 0, which one or two people said worked. I'm beginning to think the guy that sim unlocked my note2 didn't do it correctly. If I Odin back to 4.1.1 will it allow me to unlock again?

If you can get any tmo service at all, it is unlocked. If you really want to try the unlock again, just flash a 4.1.1 modem appropriate for your device's model number. Don't flash modems across device models.
Are you certain you are in an area that has tmobile LTE service?
What baseband are you on?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Do I need both a tmo and att sim card to unlock?
Yes we have LTE. I've been able to connect to LTE with nexus 4, HTC one and note3.
I was on 4.1.2 modem and I flashed the newest one Monday.

I don't think you need both sims.
What specific baseband are you on?
Have you put *#2263# and checked to ensure you are in automatic. Have you tried to allow all LTE bands via the same menu?

I'll have to look later. Its my wife's phone. I've done the dialer code. When I set it to LTE only its gets nothing at all.

hey i have an att note 2 and have tmobile service. the phone is unlocked, rooted and on 4.1.2?
what would be the best thing to do? im thinking getting the tmobile software/ROM. once i have that will it work lik a regular t mobile note, (like i will be
able to update OTA when 4.4 for t mobile's note 2 comes out?)
but i dont know how to. i have odin installed n thats all lol. do i need to change kernels? im a total noob on this stuff. help me please
i want to update to the newest tmobile stock firmware, cuz on the att one i cant even turn on my wifi, i hear the best thing to do to fix that problem is to update the firmware or factory reset it, which is only a temporary fix. n i cant update it because im on t mobiles network.
Yes you can flash T-Mobile Roms.

All you will need is a non-at&t Sim card and the code.

Enter the code at the box
Your phone is permanteny unlocked for all networks.
I recently bought a samsung galaxy s3 sgh i747 it is an at&t phone and i need to sim unlock it so that i can use my metro pcs sim card on it, ive tried everything, and looked everywhere! someone please help!!!!!!
Unless the phone is on stock 4.1.1, you can't unlock via the hidden dialer menu. That being said, if you are on 4.3 or above, you can not downgrade to above version or have a brick. What version do you have?
Its been verified on the T999 that chainfires RegionLock Away app does work. If on 4.3 or above, give it a try and let us know. if it doesn't work youll have to get a code from the original carrier or buy one online.
