Hey guys, I was wondering if I could unlock this phone on my own?
I'm currently on CM, but I can't seem to go into the secret menus on these AOSP roms..
So I'm about to flash "Echoe ROM" Which is a TouchWiz rom..
My question is, can I unlock the phone using that rom or do I need to go back to stock?
(I don't really want to use the stock rom, because i see stuff about odin, and I don't like using that application.)
I'm currently doing a backup of my CM rom right now, so please help me out.
Thanks in advanced to everyone!
Any touchwiz ROM should be fine

thank you for the quick reply!
It would be easier to use the Chainfire region unlock method first.
I used it and it worked, where multiple unlock codes from samsung and t-mobile would not work on my rooted stock phone... even when I un-rooted it!
Good luck!
search for the "unlock without using secret hidden codes xda" using google
Aloha!

If you can get into download or recovery you should be ok. Download any NOTE 2 <---! Rom and put it on your external SD Card. Just install it from TWRP/CWM from there. AOKP isn't out for our phone yet, and I haven't seen a stock version rom either.

Closest to KK is going to be Jedi or Clearom. Both are outstanding roms, with awesome support. Check them out in the development section.
Hey guys I just thought I would share that I have successfully flashed both AT&T Rom along with a Verizon Rom (JellyBeans 9). I know the AT&T one is a little more known however I couldnt find one to do with Verizon. So all you have to do is download the Rom of your choice and flash it, then you have to flash the Tmobile Modem and you should be set to go! Hope this helps some people as I contemplated flashing a Verizon Rom on my Note 2. I have also tried International Roms with no luck sadly. This is a community based thread and I couldnt do it without some of the help from you guys, everyone deserves the "Thanks" I get!

Caution: This is not an official guide its just something I have found after flashing some ROMs I personally THINK MAJORITY of the ROMs should work but I take no responsibility for bricks.
I am going to start a list of Confirmed Roms if you have a Rom from a different carrier then please tell me and I will update the list, Thanks!

Yes it works I started a thread about this a week ago in general forum. Flash rom then kernel and modem for tmobile. If you download a rom that doesn't give you data, once you flash rom and its booted up, turn on wifi and go to market to download hiapn and itll help restore apn settings giving you data again. Every rom ive tried has workes. Verizon, tmobile, sprint, and at&t.

Sorry I just want to make sure I understand this. So we download any kernel for the t-mobile note 2 and the modem. Then download an AT&T rom and flash it with the kernel and modem?

No need. The kernel goes with the ROM.
All you should need is the modem.
Yeah no need to flash a different Kernel.
Re: Guide: Flashing Verizon/AT&T Roms
And what benefit do we get from doing this over a T-mobile ROM? Will Wi-Fi/usb tethering work?

Well say you see a cool ROM in the Verizon section but its unavailable for T Mobile. You can use this process to flash that much wanted ROM to your phone.
Anytime Glad I could help!

This is frgin awesome news. I wondered if this was possible but was to afraid to try and didnt want to ask. Thanks. Soo just to be sure you can flash "any" verizon or att note 2 rom. Just as long as you flash the tmobile modem and you will be set? No brick and no problems? Of course except known issues?

Glad you figured it out! Some of the threads state it like you said, majority of the Verizon ones don't thought, at least that is what I found.

I tried jelly beans rom which was pretty good just didn't like battery life. I'm now on a AT&T ROM right now which is cleanrom I'm staying on this one for awhile.
Just wanted to say you really shouldn't even need to flash a modem unless the rom your wanting to flash contains a modem. If the rom contains a modem then you'll need to flash a T-Mobile modem otherwise you will still have the same modem you had before flashing.

Have you flashed Tweaked?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Hello everyone. I haven't used a custom rom over 6 months and I have few questions.
I have this rom called tweaked 1.4 I don't remember downloading it but that's what I'm using right now. Any new roms that you guys can recommend to me?
And my rom is 4.1.1 and I used the unlock method to unlock my phone and it's unlock. If I get a rom that 4.1.2 would I lose my unlock?
Thanks for any replys

Im running jedi x 13 rom which is a 4.1.2 rom and my phone stayed unlocked. The only problem I have with it is when using other sims in my phone I wont get a 4g lte signal for data. Thats no biggie for me though. Hope this helps.
I've been using CM for years on several phones and am very pleased with the speed, features, and stability.
Hi, this is my first post here and I've done some searching and I've got confused with the firmware names between stock and original.
Currently I have a T-mobile 4.1.1 baseband T889UVALL4 with T-mobile firmware.
What I am trying to understand and do is change from t-mobile firmware as it has t-mobile apps to a samsung firmware and their apps /non t-mobile apps.
Is this something possible? Where can I find these firmwares and what is the latest version?
Thanks & regards
First off welcome..Why dont u give tweaked a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242972 Its the only rom I use on my phone.. You have the ability on install to choose the amount of bloat u want and it's super customizable....... as for the international roms be mindful they don't have wifi calling

Look up teshxx in the development section he has stock samsung roms. Keep scrolling the different roms til you find the latest updated one, cause he have quite a few posted. If you ever want to try a custom rom, try Jedi x14 by ptmr3 which is great.

What is the difference between factory and stock image?
Ive seen the topic where it has all images for t889 but I cannot distinguish what are those.
If I want to have a samsung only firmware on my t889 , what king of file should I be looking for?
Tks
Anyone? Any place I should look?

Factory and stock should be the same just wording. What are you looking for ? Do u want a rooted stock rom. If so downloaded teshxx deodexed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380. Like I said before if you want a rooted stable customizable (without flashing anything else) try tweaked

Hi, thanks for your help. What I am looking for is remove anything related to T-MOBILE from my phone, so it looks like the Samsung Firmware without T-Mobile apps, in order words, to look like the international Samsung Galaxy Note 2, unbranded.
How can I do this? What is odexed/deodexed btw?
Tks

Hi deeznutz1977 thanks for your help.
From what I could read, a ROM is something you put on top of the firmware.
Is there anyway to put a Samsung firmware from scratch without those T-Mobile brand on the SGH-T889?
So it would be a brand new firmware, no ROMS or t-mobile apps.
Thanks for you help and patience.
Best Regards

Dear Experts,
I have T-Mobile Note II T889 rooted with Clear ROM 5.0 and android version 4.1.2. I have my phone SIM free so I can use any other SIM than T-Mobile. I need your help in updating my ROM to 4.3.x without losing unlock feature in addition to rooted ROM and minimal customization i.e. the same experience as stock ROM that has high stability and high maturity. what is the best ROM for that? . Does N7105 stock ROM work for me?
Thanks for Help
Phone unlock is permanent(one way process). You do not have to worry about it.

a) If you are 4.3 bootloader you can flash this MrRobinson's ROM
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760975435
b) If you are 4.1.2 bootloader you can flash this ROM, download link on post#1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2636552
If you want to stay stock then you may not flash any other ROM's but if you wnt any custom ROM's then just read few posts in development forums and see which ROM suits your need.
