You just need to find the stock kernel for your carrier and flash it.

I recently bought a Note 2 ( i317M, Rogers, unlocked ) as a gift for my Dad. My dad speaks Chinese natively but the phone comes with only English, French and Korean. I wanted to flash CM10 / AOKP on it but I was not sure if they come with Chinese.
So I brought the phone to a local phone store and had them flash a ROM with Chinese on it. Everything seems to be working properly after but the Model Number became GT-N7105 with Baseband version I317MVLALJ2. So I'm guessing the guy at the store flashed a N7105 ROM on it? Is there any problem keeping it this way? If I flash a proper ROM back, would it change the model number back to i317M?
Thank you in advance!

From what I understand, if the phone is working properly, then you have a ROM that is designed for the i317M, but is "tagged'' as a N7105 ROM.
I have a Bell Note 2, and I'm using the new AT&T CM 10.1 ROM. It shows Model Number GT-N7105, but I know for sure the ROM was branched from that model at some point and adapted for the i317M.

Thank you for the prompt reply FligMupple! I was worried that having a ROM for a different model might 'break' the phone somehow, but if the model number is just a tag as you said I really shouldn't be worrying to much I guess.
Could you advice if the ATT CM10 ROM has Chinese? I want to have a stable ROM on it before giving it to my Dad.
Actually now when I connect the phone to my PC, it shows GT-N705 has connected....
Is it OK to flash kernels for the N7105 on i317m?

Kernel and ROM, yes. Modems, no.
Edit build.prop if you want it to show "SGH-I317M" (or "Potato 2" for that matter) again.

i have the n7105, i dont want to root and use custom roms as i had massive problems with gps and sat nav on my previous phone when changed roms, so sticking with official rom as sat nav is perfect.
saying that, i dont see many roms for the n7105 so there is nothing to entice me to change, unless they are all in the n710 rom thread?
also - im on ee (was t-mobile) in UK, but the phone has not had an update since i got it last year.. its still on 4.1.1 does samsung not update? i dont want t-mob getting there hands on it first and loading it full of junk.
Well as for updates lte phone get it lasts due to carriers.

IF the note is unbranded/unlocked You cna install the latest update from samsung via Odin. I'm running it now on my 7105, unrooted and stock, from tmob UK. There is one on samfirmware for EE.
Have you checked connecting the note to kies (via windows PC) to see IF there is an update available for your device?
IF you're sim locked you can remove it quite easily. Just follow this thread
You need any help gimme a yell
thanks, maybe i will look into it, rooting shouldn't affect the navigation/gps software..
N7105 has 4.1.2 now

Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?

There are numerous options. The best depends on your choice. I recently rooted my AT&T phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, based on android 4.3. Check it out. It is super cool.

Lets say I do it and I find out my singal or some issues I can't stand arise, can I reflash down to 4.1.1?
Btw any links to a stock 4.1.2 ROM? And do the battery on these phones run longer with newer Android flavors. The S3 battery I have is atrocious
AT&T 4.1.2 and 4.3 update is officially only available via OTA. But this requires being on the AT&T network. The are zip files available on XDA to get these updates but I strongly suggest you read up on things first.

Do you have any links on how to do the 4.1.2 update on an unlocked phone? I searched on google (admittedly i suck with google) but couldn't find much info.
I bought a new Boost branded Samsung Gs3
It was 4.1 out of the box, but when I activated the phone it forced 4.3 on me.
The phone is rooted..(did it myself!)
I also used the "DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip" right after rooting....
I can' t see any knox related files on the phone.
I haven't flashed any roms yet, but wanted to.. Just didn't want to hard-brick the phone.
Can I use any sprint based rom?? Do I need to be aware of anything....I would like to try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321867
Thanks all in advance..

You won't brick as long as you don't flash a tar file that downgrades the bootloader, since you took the OTA update. You can run almost any Sprint rom, but you will have to remove asserts from the ROM itself to keep from getting status 7 errors, due to Boost having slightly different radio(mk5). Try THIS link, it has some ROMs already modified for Boost. The second post explains how to remove asserts from ROMs not listed plus AOSP and CM based ROMs. I grabbed AOSB from Sprint forums and followed directions to remove asserts. Worked perfectly except for you can only have 3g and MMS or LTE and no MMS.
I went back to touchwiz after a year of cyanogen and I flashed it through odin mobile. I can't toggle the wifi button on. It keeps going to off. My data works though. Any ideas on how to fix it?

There is no Stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 for the T-Mobile variant of the Note 2. I suggest you search in the thread of whatever 4.4.2 ROM you installed. Good Luck.

I got it from this website. I'm am from Canada and my phone is from wind mobile. I have been able to use tmobile roms variant on my wind phone with no problems so far.

Again, I am really not trying to be argumentative, and reaaly want you to have the support you are looking for. All I am saying, though, is that T-Mobile still has not released their official version 4.4 KitKat for this particular Samsung T-Mobile Note 2. I see that Wind Mobile released their version in May of this year. I am just stating that there is nos such thing as stock 4.4 KitKat running with a Touchwiz interface on a T-Mobile Note 2.
We have all been anxiously waiting for that release for at least a couple of months now. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, and even US Cellular have all announced thier release of 4.4 KitKat on their versions of the Note 2. Your Wind Mobile provider has also released their KitKat as you point out in your link. Unfortunately T-Mobile has not yet released that software.
I have reviewed the link you provided and it seems that you are correct and Wind Mobile has your official release of KitKat for the Note 2. However, I am not sure how we can help in the T-Mobile forum, since we don't have that official firmware yet. Thousands of folks here sure wish we did! Sorry, bud.
