Okay so I have the Verizon phone I'm asking this for a friend because he has att and I'm not familiar. I realize with att phone they have a toolkit which can root. Now does it need to be unlocked or anything for custom roms or is root okay? Because I know with Verizon I had to unlock and root.
Thanks

There is no locked bootloader on the at&t note 2. He can just download the toolkit, install the drivers, and change whatever he wants to.

i recently rooted my galaxy s3 T999v and after flashing the very first rom i have no signals. I have flashed another rom and still the problem persists. I know the sim and the sim card holder both work because the phone was working before the first rom was flashed. I had rooted the phone few hours earlier and the phone worked . When i flashed a rom, the phone not have any signals. Also, I can not get the google play store to work as well. I was on 4.1.1 when i rooted ans flashed a rom. this is where i got the tutorials for the root http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
ONe last thing,i tried to flash a stock rom through odin but it wont let me saying 'fail'. I did not back up initially before rooting or flash,stupid of me i know.
To all the tech geniuses out there, please help.
Can't help at all without knowing EXACTLY everything you flashed.

I'd say follow dr.ketans guide that would be your safest bet.
But honestly I'd leave the phone rooted, at least, for the time being you'll be glad you did.

Yeah it's OK rooted but quite a few apps keep shutting down!! But it is great I must say
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Which apps fc? You could try a factory reset, flash a custom rom or of course revert back to unrooted or Flash a new stock rom. If you choose the last option ensure you run triangle away first

Has anyone tried doing this? I want to know since Rogers 4.3 has a bootloader Img in it. Can I not use att 4.1.2 bootloader to downgrade and just use Rogers i317m to upgrade later? So I can reset knox

Knox can't be reset
Why would anyone intentionally want software with Knox? I flashed the 4.3 leak and was really pissed with that trash. I never owned a phone that told me 'No' about so many things.
Im asking if I unlock my bootloader make it a att instead of a i317m and then redo i317m 4.3

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.

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.
