Will everything that works for the at&t note work for the Rogers note? Like unlocking, rooting and custom roms?

They will most likely use the same rooting methods.
Possible the same ROMs
And it's possible they may require a different kernel.
It's really hard to say though. Your best answer is to look at previous Rogers / AT&T phone development on Samsung phones. I really hope they share the same ROMs.
They NEVER use the same ROM but it is not to say you can't interchange ROMs. Sometimes, there is some very small hardware differences as well. They have different product code as well. By all means, they are not the same phone.
I have owned several rogers phones that are also on at&t i can confirm that so far thy have been identical only major difference is one has at&t crap and one has rogers crap. As far as Roms they are usually the same.

Are the Bell and Telus versions also interchangeable with the at&t version? With regards to both development and general network use (voice, UMTS, LTE...)
Reason I'm asking is because those 2 carriers don't brand their phones unlike Rogers and at&t. The Streak and international phones have spoiled me in that way.
That i can't say forsure but my guess would be they are all the same. If anything the kernels may been to be changed depending on your network

THe Robellus ones will have 1700 AWS LTE whil the AT&T one does not include these frequencies, or so is the norm on most devices according to what i have heard
You will know when the rest of us do.

The Radio is usually the biggest difference other than the bloat from both companies

Well this forum also be for the Rogers Galaxy Note i717R or will there be a separate section?

I think this will be the forum for it as well, in the Captivate section we support Rogers Captivates, and the only difference really should be differences in the Rogers ROM and ATT ROM, all the underlying hardware is the same so in the end they should wind up being compatible.
Yeah all the bell, telus and Rogers as well as at&t are the same phone.

At least the same model, but not the same phone. It seems the Canadian models are no where near as locked down as the ATT model.

In what ways is the AT&T model more locked down?

Just the fact that the Canadian models have a toggle for LTE/HSPA+, have the NFC activated, less bloatware, stock Samsung box and accessories etc.
Not a big deal, but definitely a differently packaged product for the same model phone. And in the case of the Bell Model, no carrier branding.
Hi just wondering if any of u guys heard about this i was gonna buy a gs2 today from somebody and its a tmobile phone but the tripped out part is that it only accepted at&t sim cards not tmobiles. Any ideas thanks

T mobile S2 is different from the international version. There is a separate forum for it on xda.

The phone is obviously sim-locked, no need to redirect him to another forum.

Yes I understand that, but his problem is that it's T mobile but locked to at&t which is weird. Maybe someone in the correct forum knows about it. I doubt people here have heard of such a thing.

So should i keep looking on this forum or try the other?

First thing you need to do is confirm model number. Look on the label under battery. Is it GT-I9100? Could be that it's a European T-Mobile Galaxy SII that somehow got sim-locked to AT&T.
T-Mobile Europe is different than T-Mobile USA, and uses different frequencies.
EDIT: FYI, GT-I9100 will work on both T-Mobile USA and AT&T, but will only get Edge data speeds on T-Mobile USA. It only gets 3G/H/H+ on AT&T's network, or other network that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. T-Mobile USA has their own bastardized version of the Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-T989.
In addition to that, AT&T has their own branded version of the Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-I777, and a bastardized version that is LTE enabled called the Skyrocket, which is the SGH-I727.
And this doesn't even mention all the other models for other North American carriers, or any of the Asian variants.
All really confusing, huh? Clear as mud?
I am selling my i777 for funding for a note, thus guy in Ecuador wants to but it and he is asking me if it will work there? I have the phone unlocked but I don't know anything about international use..would he have to have a certain modem flashed to make it work right down there?
Any opinions on trading in my g2 for a note other than the size difference..i have larger fingers and hands so I think it will be a okay fit for size.
Thanks!
I'am using I777 in Brazil without any problem. Depends on the carrier he may need to flash a different modem for the best performance.

i use my i777 here in egypt without any problems. using a vodafone gsm sim card. had to change the modem from kh7 to kk6 though.
I'm using in Brazil(Claro) and never flashed a modem.
works fine!
By default, it's not unlocked - but unlocking it is easy with root.
Depends on bands that they use there. Phone will definitely work under GSM, and it will get 3G unless they use bands other than 850/1900/2100Mhz.

Reading some where here at the XDA forums, they say G2 is better than the note. Set a side bigger screen for the note, I don't know if you wants to do that. Just my 2 cents.
International Note - Yes, def. something I'd consider.
AT&T Note - Horribly crippled mangled abomination.
wondering if there are differences between I717 versionas like AT&T and Rogers... and also wonder if they could use same roms
Yes, i717 is i717 regardless of carrier. Might use different radio or APN but you can use either for either

I'm rather curious as to why HTC or for that matter other makers have to make different build of a particular model for all 3 variants.
Why is that only for Sprint & Verizon that phone makers have to make specials versions of Android for them? Why can't International versions be used on them?
I think the international version is made the way it is because there are lesser restrictions on devices abroad.
Even it comes to the US, Sprint and Verizon devices need to be manufactured differently for them to work on the carriers network.
