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

Can anyone help?
Its already been done lots of times over, I've got a bell phone on Virgin mobile with an at&t rom on it. You know instead of starting a new thread on this there is a search button for a reason....

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.
Try to flash a prerooted software google it

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.

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.

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.

Just wondering if there is an app or a way to unlock this sgh-i317m Canadian variant for free I know a couple years ago I had a Canadian galaxy s vibrant on Rogers I rooted and flashed a ROM and it soft bricked then I searched for the stock ROM for it and found an att ROM but it was sim unlocked for whatever reason is there any note 2 ROMs that are sim or imei unlocked?

Do you have any warranty left on your phone?
I purchased a used note 2 (sgh0i317m) running the latest Koodo release of the stock ROM. I downgraded to 4.1.1, unlocked using the free method, re-flashed the latest Koodo ROM, and I am no longer asked to enter a network unlock code with my Rogers sim.
Downgrading from 4.3 or higher to 4.1.1 will supposedly trip the knox counter.
I dont care about tripping the knox counter if i can downgrsde to unlock i will

You can, according to this, from MK6 down to LJ2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581321
It's not specifically for i317m, but you can read through & verify whether or not it will work before trying it. You would probably need the proper firmware for your device, but the methods would be exactly the same. And technically it's called carrier unlock here, so you can probably find even more info searching those terms.
Good luck!
