Hey guys,
I`m from Brazil and I`m spending some days in Victoria - BC. I want to buy a galaxy note 2 but I found only locked Galaxy Notes 2 with carrier. If I buy one is it going to work in Brazil? If I change the ROM to the international version or any Brazilian version is it going to be unlocked? The lte version works with gsm sim cards too?
tks all =)
Any ideas?

The Sprint model of this phone has an embedded sim. Meaning it's not removable. So unless you do some modifying of the hardware and most likely the software too, it won't work for you.
I know the international version of the phone has a sim slot as should Tmobile and AT&T.

Hi guys,
I am been for while on Samsung phones and bought M8 yesterday. Samsung had phones like S4 with different Hardware and Model numbers based on Carrier and Region. The ROMs are different to flash.
Is that the same case for M8? I bought M8 from Australia (Unlocked) and thinking to flash GPE. Will that be problem?
Thanks in advance
Bump!!!!

As far as I know, yes, but the differences tend to be minor. I can already tell from your signature here that we have a different phone. I also believe that there is much less variety in the hardware than what the model number would suggest (i.e. phones with different model numbers may be identical).
AFAIK, the M8s sold in Asia should be clocked at 2.5 GHz instead of 2.3, although this shouldn't make any noticeable difference.
Thank you for the reply.
Can I install GPE on device? As far I know it 2.5gHz clocked.

I believe you can, as I can't recall hearing any major limitations about the GPE conversion. I am not sure anyway, I have no experience with the GPE. This is likely to be explained on the GPE conversion thread, just look for it. Good luck.
So I have a telus m8. When I had a note 2 it was the same as the at&t variant. Is that the same thing for the m8? Also should I go gpe or stick with a sense build?

I am picking up a Bell M8 today and was wondering this myself as well.

I was told the telus m8 is under the regular m8 forum. I'm guessing it's the international forum? So would say all Canadian m8s are the same but don't take that for gospel.

That's correct. All GSM m8 are same for custom Roms.

So just to add to the confusion, you are saying that not only the Roms in One (M8) Android Development will work on Bell/Telus M8's, but the ATT and Tmobile ones will also work?

Absolutely
Is there any practical difference between the international unlocked version and the local NON US version I'd get from my carrier
Also if I get a H815, will I be able to get updates if I keep everything stock?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
H815 will get updates faster + got no bloat. Way better than the ones you get from carrier.

I have a friend coming from Europe, might ask her to get one for me.
Are there replacement parts for the 815 available in the states?

Wondering if there's a way to convert a VZW m8 (s-offed) to developer edition with an RUU and use it on T Mobile?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Never do that.
Don't convert a CDMA device like Verizon & Sprint to totally GSM like Developer Edition.
You'll brick the radio, no signal.
like him above said, never do that.
its not possible, because VZW One m8 has another partition table and layout than international m8
and its wcdma.
Thanks for the heads up, glad I asked before I messed up the phone.
