Some assistance with rooting a Note?

Hi guys, so I'm gonna do a favor to a friend, and wanted some help. So, he has a Note 2 and its baseband is UBALJ2. Can I use the toolkit to just root and done, or some other steps before. I'm asking because I've always had trouble rooting devices from that carrier (Claro). Thanks!

Unlock code?

If my phone is still under contract can I still call at&t to get the unlock code?
I've been with at&t for over 2 years

NO. But you can try and see what they say. And there's a unlock thread already fyi!
Imho
Think of you did a lil more searching (Google is your friend) you'll find answers to most of your questions you have!
Just my 2¢®

Exactly bruh:thumbup:.
You know you can downgrade you radio/modem and use the unlock method from the hidden menu right!
Check here when you get a chance:

Try telling them you will be traveling internationally to a specific country for several months for business or school (I like New Zealand ) and would like to use a local carrier's service with your phone while there. They might grant you an exception. If you are on contact those terms will still apply. Good luck. :thumbup:
Edit .. Or you can use the unlock method noted above... That worked for me

Now I'm on the hunt for a downgraded ROM...I found a stock 4.1.1 ROM but can you flash a actual stock ROM using cwm or do I have to use Odin and unroot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG SGH - I317 using xda app-developers app
You only need to flash the older modem (from same model phone), then flash back current modem. Search this forum.. You will find cwm packages for this.

No & no. All you need to do is downgrade your modem perform the unlock. Then reboot, then re-flash the latest modem back on the device!
Here's the first AT&T modem release:

I'm give you the first release. But you'll have to do some homework and find the newest modem. To flash back on your device.

Just use the unlock method posted on this forum. Worked for me.
Actually I read by law some carriers have to grant you if requested a unlock code...
It has to be least 6 months in contract nothing less.....And if they argue and so no..ask for supervisor. ..he he still does not give it to you ASK FOR A CLAIM TO CORPORATE. .I got a unlock code within 15min.....from corporate giving me mine...I was actually still on the phone with att supervisor when he filed a complaint and mailed corporate. ..I didn't answer the other line, , but I checked it and sure enough they gave it to me without any issues....tell them you travel...they need not more then that....it works belive me..I dont this to every phone in past 3 years every 6 months

Nice!!:thumbup: Kinda how I get things done when a rep/employee don't want to take care of things I need. And not just with AT&T I'll say. Whenever you go to Corporate your gonna get what you want..
