hi
how can I unlock my Samsung galaxy note 2 AT&T 4.3 ?
I read few people said if I downgrade it to 4.1.1 to unlock it I will lose my warranty please help
There's two separate issues in your post.
The first we are working on. I'm in the process of installing the original 4.1.1 rom to see if it will allow hidden dialer menu and then the unlock.
I'll try to do this today or tomorrow and report my results in detail.
The second matter you raised I'm not advanced enough to answer. I'm sure someone here will have that info or you can use the XDA search function.

I successfully unlocked my note 2.
I first installed a tw rom, cleanrom ace, found at scottsroms.com.
Then I used a replacement of the phoneutil.apk that I found online.
Once I installed the apk, I followed the simple instructions found in the thread about unlocking. I will try to post the link to that thread momentarily.
FWIW, I had tried unsuccessfully to unlock with the same exact Rom just a few days ago. The only change was switching out the phoneutil.apk

T999v if it was like that on stock. That is the base firmware and the one that you need to upgrade your boot loader with. Caution however, flash the wrong one and you will have problems.
Make a nandroid, run the boot loader backup script and then flash the T999v boot loader that's your best bet.
Below, Aerowinder makes a great point. Check that before moving on and be sure to thank him.

Pull the battery on your phone, and check underneath for the real model number. Flash appropriate bootloader.
Wich one should i take the with the modem or the other one without it?

I got my SCH-S960L and was told by Straight Talk it wasn't activated in store(walmart) so they couldn't get me set up. If I flash a stock Sprint Rom will I be able to activate this phone by using other methods? Please help, I have a great phone I can't use! (I didn't steal it!)
What do they mean activated in store. These are prepaid obviously so they have no one to call to activate.If I'm not mistaken, the only thing walmart scans is the upc barcode which is only to verify its part of their inventory. So, hypothetically, I believe, even if you did steal it you should still be to get it activated. Straight talk customer service has absolutely no idea what's going on ever but I still like yhe phone service. Try buying a BYOP package. They come with an activation card and then just go to the website and activate from there, you may not even need the activation card just the meid and as long as the phones legit you should be good.

If you dial ## 72786# and it will reset the phone and bring up the hands free activation . Then u need to go to the straighttalk website and go activate phone and activate it and itll auto program itself

I am rooted and have the at&t no-knox Rom installed. This rom is close to stock, except it just doesn't have knox.
Can i update to 4.4.2 through this rom or will i get some sort of error.

Do you know if I would be able to update? I'm on 4.3 stock and I have clockwork flashed too.
Well I tried to update from 4.3 rooted with Knox removed and it failed. Keep in mind though...the phone has been jtagged and had the iemi fixed. Don't know if that's the issue or not. It would not update...the install failed every time. Although the phone still works fine....just stuck on 4.3. So...it won't hurt your phone if it fails.
