[Q] Unlocking Canadian i317M note 2 for AWS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello folks!
I have a Rooted Canadian Carrier rogers galaxy note 2 i317M flashed with Clean ROM ACE 4.9.0 and running android 4.1.2....
Basically I want to sell it to a person who is going to use it on WIND MOBILE (AWS freq carrier)...and i have no idea if this is going to work with the hardware provided on the board or do i need to flash the wind modem to this phone.
below thread talks about US phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34661189
not sure if this applies to me, i have seen local ppl doing it without a problem...
If someone had that experience (a step by step procedure) and would like to share this please do so, as I don't want to pay for the unlock but wanted to do it myself:fingers-crossed:
please let me know! :crying:

Yes that unlock method works for us...
It is in a step by step format already.

thanks! but i don't see anyone reporting this working with AWS, does this method unlocks the phone to work with AWS freq like wind?
please advise.

also it works on 4.1.1 at least but i have 4.1.2...looks like i have to downgrade it to stock 41.1 and then try this, what you suggest? i am using custom ROM clean ROM ACE 4.9 (4.1.2).

No it depends on your radio, not the version.
Like it says, at least this version, it doesn't say only this version.
Try it, if not just flash an earlier radio for your carrier, and then flash back if you like

Why not try it on the one you have now??
This is what I'm confused on.. If it doesn't work flash the older canadian radio from the development thread

I already tried dude, but I am missing [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ in the options...may be i dont need to flash stock ROM but just a previous baseband (as you mentioned), that would be fantastic if I just rollback the radio version only and keeping the firmware, please guide me to the sections you are referring to.

Unlocking a Rogers Note 2 doesn't mean it will work on Wind Mobile. You will need to unlock AWS band (after you unlocked the phone). I'm actually surprised that no one mentioned this thread as it's been around for at least 8 months now.
Use the thread to unlock your Note 2 to work with Wind or Mobicity.

Thats exactly what is happening. ..it looks unlcoked but not working on wind I already tested a wind sim...would you please guid me to the link that does this aws band unlock for my note 2...
Appreciated!

Are US and International Note II ROMs compatible?

The US variants wont have the multitasking bar. Can we root then flash the cooked international ROMs which provide this instead?
I've been meaning to ask this as well.
just picked up my Note 2 for T-Mobile and would like to know as well. i'm assuming yes since internally the US variants and international are the same except for the modem. i'm itchin to flash a rom on this...
i read post one thread they try flash G7100 rom over G7105 and got stuck in boot loop. You can search in general thread and find out
i specifically want to know about using a TMOB variant on AT&T
Ditto on the OP question...waiting in front of TMO US tore now and hoping to get ARHD 3.0 on this bad boy ASAP!

Root is fine In my exp, but flashing international ROM gives you the wrong baseband and you loose cell services.

just don't flash the radio (modem). probably needs some RIL fixin' and what not. then i think these roms will work across most variants.
I believe it has something to do with isis. The rep told me that all SIMs are isis now.
To maintain security, I am guessing it has to be the TMO baseband.
I could be wrong.

that's easy. just flash the correct modem from the carrier. this is going to be fun.
Yeah, this should work just fine. Does anyone have the modem files?
I have a request into Samsung for a complete dump for recovery, but no word yet.
I flashed Omega 4.1 which had a modem in it. :/

you might be able to extract the radio out of one of those OTA updates. not sure if there is one or not.

ok sorry guys they were error 7 on previous zip
im updating op with newer ones they both work tested
So, question for those more knowledgable than myself.
Would I now be able to just flash one of the N7100 ROMs, flash the Rogers radio, and the Perseus kernel and have a fully functioning Rogers i317M?
Am I missing something? I'm probably missing something right.
And I don't care if I temporarily lose LTE. I couldn't give a crap about LTE.

Unlock? You mean unlock the bootloader, or the phone? I already have a SGH-T889V Locked on WIND (Probably), that I purchased directly from WIND and it works perdectly with my SIM Card. I only want to root it and flash Custom ROMS.

Sry I must have been drunk when I read your first post lol
I'm note sure about rooting it. It's baseband is different than the US TMobile variant. (US is LJ1 I think, my Mobilicity one reads LJ4)
I posted in the toolkit thread if it will work on our canadian ones. I hope someone replies soon.
Not sure if you mean will a tmobile note2 work on wind? Currently using a tmobile note 2 stock running on Wind... Just unlocked phone and evening working fine.

1) By unlock you mean I need to sim unlock it first to use T mobile SGH-T889 roms
2) SGH-T889V has wireless charging pins....does those work ?

Does anybody have a nandroid backup of the wind note 2 i messsed up my phone and forgot to make one
Thanks
whats d difference..?
whats the difference if u put a Tmobile rom in a canadian wind G N-2 ...??
Thannks..!
A SIM unlocked T-Mobile Note II works on Wind Mobile or Mobilicity without any modification.
I am looking for comment from Canadian users of T-Mobile Note II to confirm if the performance would improve after flashing the T889V modem.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
To answer your question, yes performance will improve after flashing the T889V modem, but the difference is very slim. Data speeds and reception are generally the same, but the T889V modem might get half a bar of signal where the tmobile one will get none.

[Q] modem sgh-i317 at&t

Hi I't what I did first I I had to change the sim size (previous GS II, which modem was working)
I've checked again just before posting this question, all seems to be Ok from them
The message is " Non available data or non valid sim"
I've seen on forums that the at&t modem is locked for at&t network only
May only the phone setting is unlocked but not the modem ones?
Or should I flash and other Rom (Noterious or n7105?
Thanks again

It's my firs post, so forgive me if thread is in wrong place, and replace it if you can. Thank you.
So, ok...I've got N-5100 with original soft: 4.1.2 Android version, N5100XXBMC89 modem, XXBMD1 version number.
There was an update do 4.2.2 but not in my country (Poland). I know that I can make manual update, but my question is: is the 3g will be working? From which country should I choose an update?
Will be glad for ANY help.
Thank You.

Ok, my N5100 had the same modem/software as yours. I rooted with CF-Auto-Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291839. Next, using odin, I flashed PhilZ Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552657 to get a custom recovery. Last, using PhilZ, I flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407752.
Everything went very smooth. It was the easiest root and upgrade I have done. I ended up with stock-rooted 4.2.2. 3g works great on AT&T and phone reception is also very good.
Read the instructions in each of the forums and be careful that you download the correct files. For example, PhilZ has a file for the N5100 as well as the N5110.
Hope this helps.
