I can't find any statements about the bootloader being locked or unlocked on Sprint, only that Verizon's is locked. Does anyone know for sure? I don't want to get stuck on a phone I can't modify.

Well sprint hasn't done it, and for sure Samsung doesn't do it, so I'm gonna go ahead and say no its not locked. Verizon is a **** that way.
There is already root for this device. Check the original development thread

Root and bootloader unlock are two different things. I havn't check the dev section but from what I heard the root was for the pre-release ROM, since then Sprint have change the firmware and the current root method doesn't work.
As far as the bootlocker concern, getting bootloader unlock means you can install custom ROM which have different kernel. Say you want a custom rom with Android 4.2 earlier than Sprint release or stuff like cifs module or overclock and etc, then you would need bootloader to be unlocked on the phone.
boot load is unlocked and root is for todays release. chain and i worked on it all night for yas.

Exynos source?
Does the Note 2 have the Exynos source out? Aka do developers have full access to the Exynos processor?
Or will there be problems for custom roms? (I heard without the source custom roms would be buggy or not full featured)

Is the T-Mobile's version of galaxy note 2 (SGH-T889) bootloader unlocked?
I had read news that Verizon's version was locked.
I have rooted the phone already (as per the thread in the development forum).
I know that rooting the phone and unlocking the bootloader are two different things.
I wish to install some custom ROM in the near future.
Yes, Verizon was the only one that locked their bootloader

Post above yours.
Hi guys,
I purchased note 2 on on ebay UK and the seller did not mention anything about version but now i see its note 2 LTE 4g version . I see that most custom ROMS are there for international version n7100. Is there any way to convert Korean version into n7100 to get advantage of most custom ROMS? Which one is better? i see that mine have got 32 gb internal memory and is LTE 4g any useful in uk?
I will also apprecaite if someone guide me root procedure and install CMW recovery for this version
Thanks in advance
No there isn't an easy way to convert your phone into an n7100.Internal hardware is a bit different and that makes all the difference.

Its stupid for samsung to release so many versions of same device with almost same specifications and call all of them as note 2..why korean cannot use same note 2 which people use in uk and rest of the world
Is there any way to root this korean model and install cmw and get rid of koreans apps

if you have the lte/4g model, you could try the custom roms for the N7105
i think i have a t-mobile version myself but flashing the roms marked for "t0lte" (international unbranded version) work flawlessly for me

Mr. Rajaasim 1980, are your problems solve with regards to the rooting of your note 2 korean version shv e250s?, I use to have that same version and I successfully rooted it and install cwm by using cf root.

You can change to 4.2 or 4.3 but the boot.img must be changed too. If not, your phone will get boot lop. My phone is E250S too and i use Deadman DMB6 Rom with SJkoon kernel V1.83, don't change baseband version, if not your phone doesn't has signal for calling. SJkoon kernels don't support 4.3 now so we have to wait.

Now that my retail note 4 is converted to dev edition ... I have a note 4 snapdragon does that mean I can go in the note 4 snapdragon forum and check ROMs from there to install?

You should able to flash any ROM compatible with your hardware and carrier.
Did you install the custom recovery?
Yes TWRP is installed I already have a ROM currently running just wasn't sure ... Thanks
Let me know if you have successfully flashed any of the roms from other carriers
