There are plently of threads on this already but basically there are 2 versions of the Note 2. the N7100 is the international NON LTE version relying on HSPA+ and there is the N7105 which (in the UK) will be released on the 15th October and is the LTE version and will be compatible on the upcoming 4G services offered by EE etc...

How can I unlock an international galaxy note 2 ?

Hello there, I live in France and I currently own a galaxy s3 but I really want to buy a galaxy note 2, the cheapest way for me is to buy one on pay as you go with another carrier but would I be able to unlock it on my current carrier ??
PS: I can't buy one with my current carrier because I've just upgraded for my GS3.
thanks

Try this link http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=N7100, as Sammobile is a reputable site this should work. The N7100 is allready listed and it costs 15 euro`s for an unlock. I have not used it myself as i do not buy locked devices.
Please report back if you are going to use it to tell if it works, for other users

Which model for use in the USA?

Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.

TMobile to International

Just like with the 6T and 7, we were able to use the One Plus tool to turn tmobile rom to the international rom. I can buy the 7T today from tmobile and was wondering if someone is working on that tool for the 7T yet? you all are wondering why I don't just buy directly from One Plus? I pay for all big purchases in cash and that means buying through tmobile.

I had to buy the T-Mobile variant as well because I'm a T-Mobile employee and get a $300 rebate for doing so, so I'm looking forward to this as well! I remember being surprised at how quickly it came out for the 7 Pro.

Just bought my TMobile 7t and was wondering the same thing pretty sure the international version is already on version 10.0.4

Also T-Mobile's version numbers seem to have no correlation to the international versions. I remember with the 7 Pro T-Mobile was on a number that was like two higher than the international but it was like four versions behind.

I just checked my current build and its 10.0.3 on my t-mobile OP 7T

I currently have the OP 7Pro Sim unlocked running the international software. I’ve been running the developer preview of Android 10 since day 1. I was able to update using Oxygen Update when OnePlus released the OTA. The One Plus phones are as close as I can get to a Nexus. I miss the Nexus line. I remember the pure Google experience for a fraction of the cost
I’m not turning in my OP 7 Pro until I can flash to international. If I decide to switch to the 7T below are the gains and the loss:
First I’ll lose 128 GB of storage but I’ll gain face unlock, finger print sensor. I don’t like to use the face unlock with the 7 Pro because the camera has to pop up.
Oh yeah one other thing the last time I checked, the 7T has a brighter display then the 7 PRO. I have issues with view the display in sun light. Ugh!? Hats off to Samsung their displays are super bright ?

I had the International phone but I drop it had to get insurance replacement and it was a t-mobile branded phone
trying to get the back to International

I would reach out and have them correct that. Having a T-Mobile branded phone when you paid for an international isn't right. This link will help you convert that device into an International one.

You can't root any of the NA versions.
I bought the SM-901E[/DS], it's a snapdragon variant, root able but does not work on CDMA carriers in the US
