[Q][Canadian i317m] Hidden Menu Unlock? MK5 4.3 & NH2 4.4.2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Sorry for asking this but with lots of people making topics about same topic its geting confusing.
Can we keep a sticky on how and what works then lock it?
I'm looking to unlock 2 x Note II I317M's
# 1.) Is running NH2 4.4.2 Firmware
# 2.) Is running MK5 4.3 Firmware
So can I just downgrade the modems to MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 If so how can I do this?
Only asking because some are saying you can and some are saying you can't. Sorry again for asking this. I just don't want to brick these phones. One is for my pregnant wife and one is for me as our 2.5yr old broke both of ours and got these ones second hand but they are locked. Just don't want this to be wasted money.
Thank you all xda'ers in advance

Anyone?

Wow thanks guys your input was helpful and it works.
Oh wait no one gave input.
Anyways for others. its only the modem you flash not rom.
Some say rom but you just need the modem.
thanks again xda'ers ill be sure not to come to this site again for help.
What's rude is is that people donate $ and phones for support yet onece new device is out yiu really don't give support. If no support then refund donations.

If you down grade to 4.1.1, you can unlock the devices using the service menu. The only way you can get 4.1.1 onto the device is using Odin. There is a tutorial somewhere on xda that gives you the step-by-step.

HTC Touch PRO2 CDMA USCC, please help

I've got this touch pro2 cdma on US Cellular.
please advice if I can sim unlock this and if I could do some custom ROMs.
I've tried to read some stuff but it's hard to figure out all this.
There was a version of USCC to unlock some stuff but it said (not recommended)
pls advice
thank you
A SIM unlock will not allow you to flash a custom ROM. You need a HardSPL unlock to do that.

i was looking into hardspl and when it came to USCC it said (not recommended) ... that's why i got confused.
would you like to be a little bit more explicit pls?
i appreciate your reply
i would really appreciate some help
Don't know anything about USCC, but HardSPL will void your warranty and done wrong can brick your phone.

Miami: I believe USCC is an abbreviation for US Cellular. I'm not sure what the other "C" stands for, though.
gotttijr: If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you asked US Cellular about putting a Hard SPL on your device. If that's the case, then OF COURSE they would tell you not to do it! Changing the ROM of your device VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. You are doing this at your own risk. You don't have to tell them about doing it, though. There are tools to get it back to its stock conditions if you ever have to send it in for a warranty repair/exchange.
Hard SPL DOES NOT unlock your device to another service. If you want to do that, then ask your carrier for the unlock code. Tell them you need the code to be able to use it in another country, and they will normally give it to you with no problem. Hard SPL allows you to flash custom ROMs and other radios.
This is as far as I take you, grasshopper. Search and read. The answers will come to you.

again thanks for your reply
what I meant was that I've researched this forum for htc touch pro2 cdma and there was a thread about this hard spl and when it come to USC phones there was a statement (not recommended). I'm having an hard time finding that thread no.
I'm still looking for it.
would it be stable to run android on that phone?

Are you saying you haven't seen the sub-forum clearly labeled Touch Pro2 CDMA and Touch Pro2, Tilt2 Android Developement?
Both of your questions are seriously the very first thread of each of them.

Android isn't stable on any phone not designed for it. Most of the people running it on a dual-boot setup have to live without some functionality and/or other quirks.

I got a USCC TP2 unlocked working with T-Mobile. Just follow all of the instructions given by the letter. Go over here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/
Read the sticky threads. After unlocking and everything you can choose a new ROM that runs better than stock. USCC TP2 stick with CDMA ROMs and radios. Never install a GSM ROM or Radio.
Thanks again guys. So what rom would u recommend? There was the thread with radio unloc where it says for us celular not recommended. Can anyone advice on that one?

If I had a nickel for every time a new member asked "What ROM should I choose?" I'd be a very wealthy man.
Either flash a ROM or don't. Either way, only YOU can recommend a ROM for yourself. There are several for you to try. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like.
No one can give you advice on an unlock thread without seeing it. Post a link to whatever you're talking about or move on.

Jro03c.n7100xxalij ?

Hello i no this is gonna sound stupid.
I have searched for this but the more i search the more i get confused, I have a new note 2 and im keen to root and install CWM.
JRO03C.N7100XXALIJ This is my Build but no one mentions this in any of the rooting forums,
Only the following builds are listed.
JRO03C.N7100XXALIE
JRO03C.N7100XXALJI
JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3
If i was going to make a guess id select
JRO03C.N7100XXALJI
But i dont wan to guess and brick my note 2, Any help would be appreciated or even a point in the right direction.
PS i have googled this also but it just sends me to random pages which list the build numbers
Thank you in advance.

As far as I can tell JRO03C.N7100XXALIJ is the international version of the formwear. The others being from the USA and/or Canada.
The Galaxy Note2 ToolKit V2.3.1 can root the JRO03C.N7100XXALIJ. I think you have to make a donation to the software to get the latest update which includes the International version, but I may be wrong.

Root and SIM Unlock complied by dataSaMm

Hi all,
It took me some time to get my phone Rooted and SIM Unlocked so I have decided to put my findings below.
Phone which I used for this post: Samsung Galaxy Y S5369, files for S5360 is also available.
Root:
Copy update.zip to SD Card
Turn off the mobile phone
Hold up volume key, home button and power button together for few seconds
Locate the update.zip and follow the easy steps
Sim Unlock
Copy Galaxy Toolbox to you your storage card
You can use ES File Explorer to find and run the application
Follow the easy instructions from the application to complete the process
I will give credits where it's due, please check here again later as I need to go through the sources again.
update.zip was retrieved from GeekDashboard.
Galaxy Toolbox was retrieved from Play Store.
There like 100 treads with this same information but thanks for the effort I guess
"[Sent from a galaxy y far far away] *ominous voice* Hit THANKS"

oh,please man...

well,i'm not sure,but thanks for filling this section.

I think there are still many people who don't know how to root, sometimes it's nice to see the same information in a different point of view which can enable a person to try again.

I found many threads with too much information which just overloads a user. I kept this thread to minimal, plus another reason for creating this post was because my model was different compared to the standard model that everyone else got in UK.
Anyway, this post was intended to help people.

Well that makes sense but when a phone has been around as much as the SGY this issue gets tackled alot first root comes (probably b4 the phone is even released) but the original post might be confusing so someone dumbs it down and that continues the longer a phone is out the more treads for that issue pop up....BUT and u should have put that in your tread relating to the UK thing since I know with my phone (s5360l) there isn't a tread on rooting it off u search you'll find the file for s5360 which didn't work in my phone how I found the file was by happenstance viewing a tread on s5360 and someone happened to have a s5360l and got someone to convert the file to s5360l and post it but other than that single comment on a tread there's no root information on my phone I've wanted to start a tread for a while but problem is I can't remember the guy's name who converted it not to mention that for a period I was on s5360 firmware so I also have the s5360 and the s5360l update file and I don't know which 1 is the correct file lol
Hi, thanks for the easy guide, is the unlock permanent or does lock again if using the software update option on the phone?
unlock is permanent but i think its better to use the unlocker from the real developer u can find the newest one in playstore.
While Galaxy Toolbox is free and available from Play Store, to avoid unexpected threats and have the latest release, I recommend to download it from the original source: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doky.sgtoolbox

Nexus has become sluggish after recent update (how should I restore or root?)

I'm trying to fix my cousin's galaxy nexus that was bought new a few months ago. It's jus that after the recent system update, his whole phone has become sluggish, and it doesn't feel right. I must admit that I've never owned an Android device (neither has he) so we both really don't know how to fix it or restore the phone. I looked in the development section but its just so overwhelming, not sure what I should be looking for or trying out..
Can someone please point this beginner in the right direction? I read that the latest update was causing problems and people installed the "stock version" on their phones, which made it better, but I don't know I how I would go about doing that.
I'd appreciate some feedback thanks!
Android version: 4.2.1
Do you need the baseband, kernel version, build number?
This isn't a support site so you're going to need some self reliance.
This is a good starting point.

I know this is not a support site but this is the section to ask for help, isn't it? I read through that sticky but it doesn't necessarily explain how I would go about restoring me phone to install a stock copy of the latest Android..I really don't want to mess up this phone so that is why I want to confirm everything before I try to load something onto it.
If you scroll to the 2nd post in that thread there's a link to a guide to return to stock as well as a guide to root.

Best way to make it quick is to earse everything like I did after owning my Nexus for 1 yr. Back up everything that needs backing up on a computer.
But the New 4.2 update is pretty heavy and causes lag. Also having low storage space can cause it to slow down too I think.
Here's what I recommend. Root it. Have u done that yet? If not I'll help. It's REALLY easy. Only four commands(I believe) and a driver for adb and fastboot and the SUfile and the recovery.img.
This will EARSE everything. So you'll be fresh. And then put ur freshly backed up stuff back on the phone.

I would've posted links but it's not so simple on app, also if you can't be bothered to search and read on complex topics, which might result in you destroying your expensive phone, maybe you shouldn't be undertaking them.
What's wrong with today's society is people expect everything handed to them on a plate, with little or Jo effort on their part.

+1. I agree. People can't be expected to be spoon fed all the time. Just search it! It's that simple.
What else could we expect from a user (OP) whose nickname seems mispelled?
