all !
I have a note 2 bought from Saudi Arabia and brought to Turkey. It's not registired to passport but I can use it with the "clone imei". It's rooted and its android version 4.4.2. I want to install it cynogen mod lollipop or marshmallow. If i install one of that roms, is it possible for phone to lose service ? If it happens, can i make it work again with using clone imei ?
For those who dont know what clone imei is; it's a method that used for android phones to work in other countries. They assign some other phone's imei to your phone.

as changing imei in this country is ilegal mate dont think you,ll get any answers on that question mate think its against forum rules to even talk about it
It's illegal in many countries, for good reason too. OP has no need to change their IMEI just because they got their device in another country. If their network uses the frequencies the phone uses, it will work.

Well if you say so then can you answer my other question?
This is illegal and no need for it, if u want to use ur phone in another country just flash the International unlocked stock rom or ur phone country stock rom, thayeof course if ur phone hardware supports it...

Not in every country. For example in Turkey you have to register your imei(for a fee of course) to work within the country. Imei's of phones sold in the country are registered by importer.

Hi
First a few questions...
Is your phone rooted?
If so did u flash any modems or bootloaders?
Was ur phone working fine in Saudi Arabia?
Try a few other sims from different network
Is it showing sim not detected?
If sim is detected, go to ur settings - about phone - device status and at the bottom ur imei no. If its null, u need to flash an apprpriate modem for your phone.

No it will not harm your device but you have to make sure you know what you're doing. I recommend waiting for the update to get released in your country and download it over the air easier.

if you want a decent upgrade wait for your country .. if you want it so bad download the firmware of the countrey near you to get a good signal BUT i have to address the following
-if the firmware isn't for your country it will work 100% but in wcdma you may lost h+ connection (will remain h.. not sayin it will but may do that.. didn't happen to me thankfully but some guys reported this)
-upgrading to official Sammy kitkat will upgrade to Knox 2.0 so YOU WILL LOSE ANY WAYS OF DOWNGRADING AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET ROOT EASILY !!
whats your model ? i9190 or i9192 or i9195 ??

model number is i9190
Just look for a good tutorial and carefully follow every step. It's not that hard, and if you make no mistakes, you'll have your phone running Kit Kat normally.
i want to update to kitkat now.. which country's firmware should i flash ??
i9190/92/95? where do you live?
Do this, the latest one. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=35478
The country thing won't change anything.
You are able to downgrade to 4.2.2 in the i9195 version, but I am not sure about the i9190 version. Be careful. Be sure what you are doing when flashing with Odin.
Good Luck.
Press THANKS if I helped!

Hello friends
I just got a NOTE 2, and try to determine its actual origin in order to install TWRP & root it.
The problem is that the informations (screenshots) are contradictory to what I read on the forums.
Sprint U.S's Bootloader
Asian Stock ROM
Verizon's Product ID
Can you help me please ?
PS: Any SIM card (carrier) works on it & there is LTE connectivity choice in Settings

Thank you ☺
But i care coz there are different versions of TWRP in the official website (t0lte, t0ltevzw...)
And i don't have the luxury of doing something wrong with that device.
