I am thinking about switching to US Cellular and getting the GS3 from them. Is the GS3 rooted yet? Is the bootloader locked or unlocker?

I would love to know this as well, as I am ditching VZW for this phone on USCC. Better signal, customer service where I live. I hope there is going to be support for this version of the phone.
Indeed, U.S. Cellular is king in Wisconsin!
I'm going to dump Sprint for an S3 on US Cellular. I too am interested whether I will be able to root.
I saw on TeamUSCellular.com that there may be a $100 billing credit starting on July 16th.
I have the USCC GS3 (SCH-R530) and rooted it via the method used for Sprint phones. Works great!

I have US Cellular and i have the GS3 phone. I also wanted to root my phone but didn't know which version to use. Did any of you got a custom rom installed on the US Cellular phone yet. I would imagine that you could use any rom for that i guess. Any experiances with that anyone ???

Would it be possible to flash a stock (original from HTC - for example the 32gb unlocked rom) on a At&t HTC One without rooting?
My company uses Good Enterprise and it won't work on a rooted phone so I'm debating on getting the At&t HTC One (I'm up for an update and can get it for 199) or just get the unlocked version from HTC?
At&t takes FOREVER with updates and I just don't want to deal with that again (possibly wait 5-6 months before At&t releases 4.2.2)
You probably are better off with the international version if you can afford it

I agree!
You could unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery such as TWRP, flash the Rom of your choice, and unroot it. Unrooting a Rom is easy.

AT&T one to international version.
@daddioj
I'm think of buying the AT&T HTC one but I just want the plain google stock rom just like the version that release on the 26th. I just want to conform that you have had success in replacing rom with a genuine HTC stick international version on a AT&T htc one? What did you need to do to achieve this if you don't mind sharing. I tried access your links but they dot appear to be working because they look to be truncated.

hey sorry to interrupt but how is your htc one so fast?
i live in miami, fl and the most i've gotten on at&t 4G LTE on the ONE is 12mpbs d/l
where on my former iphone 5 it was 25-29mbps loving the phone but not the speed difference.
Has anyone turned their att HTC one into a Dev edition? I'm on arhd but the whole firmware flashing thing has me interested in just going into the Dev edition to be able to just receive OTA updates.

alright, because i can't end up with a rooted phone, i'm getting a lil confused
link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
so this is a link to the stock OEM rom which is not rooted. what do i have to do to replace my at&t rom with this? also in the future, how would i go about installing the updates?
again, at the end of the day, Good Enterprises does a quick check to make sure the phone is not rooted, so no matter what i do, the phone cannot be rooted. if i have to root, flash something which results in the phone going back to non-rooted, that's fine, i just want to understand what's needed before i get started
edit:
can't i flash the stock rom which would have come on the unlocked htc one if i had just gotten that instead?
What's up guys I'm a noob to this whole android community but already I prefer it over the iPhone community. I have a Verizon s4 with the latest update. It has a bad esn, do I have to wait for an unlock to connect it to cricket wireless or is that possible now. Wasn't sure if that update affected the unlock process. Forgive my noob ish questions. But thanks

So the phone is stolen or something? I know you can use it on gsm network?
Sent from my VZW Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4
Umm, I'm pretty sure why no one answered is because it's not possible. Just a thought. Typically if someone has a way to do it, it will be in the development section. I think you can only use the device with an operator that has sim cards. (except for sprint, I haven't seen any confirmation there.) since, Iirc, cricket is all cdma based there is no way to get the S4 on their network. Someone can correct me if my understanding that is off.

Yup. The S4 is GSM unlocked, but carrier locked to VZW on CDMA. Of course, there's a chance a custom rom could overcome that, but since I'm on MDK I can't run any custom roms.

Try this thread, I'm not sure about cricket but pageplus uses Verizon's network and the s4 can be flashed to work. PM viper who posts in that thread and he can help you. Guy is completely legit.
i understand that the sprint n2 data partition is different, but if we changed that mount point within the install script could we feasibly install it and it work after we flashed the config file as well? i know this is probably a dumb question, but it was one that came to my mind after venturing off into the sprint n2 forum. thanks!
Not unless you intend on using your device... I think developers can help put those features on another device, if it isn't for your model, don't flash. You'll save yourself tons of headaches.

Actually, I was reading up this morning about AT&T ROMs on the Verizon Note 2 and it is not only doable, but also works pretty well. When done from what I just said (Flashing AT&T to Verizon) you are obviously locked out from Verizon and 4G LTE but if you have an AT&T or any GSM SIM for that matter it will work. The only real issue is GPS not working, for some reason our devices don't like the GPS setup from any ROM's other than Verizon's.

same thing happens with t-mobile too. somehow there has to be a way to get the att/tmo roms working on the i605. the t0lte roms work on the i605, so why the hell won't the att/tmobile?
So can someone confirm or disagree that flash a T-Mobile or International Note2 CM ROM to the Verizon Note 2? Is a good idea if I want to completely shout off the Verizon Radios and only use GSM?

It will if you flash a AT&T rom. I don't know exactly what AT&T checks. It could be the model number, IMEI, sim card, even an app installed on the phone. But the best bet would be to install an ATT rom.

Considering the ATT device isn't rooted I'm not sure what you could flash. I don't see anything in the ATT rom sections. They would have to flash an international one.
I have one and haven't tried it yet. I do have the AT&T Hotspot app installed. I'll try it when I get a chance.

Hi Guys,
I was looking to purchase this phone off of ebay for my mom. We are on the t-mobile network but since VZN Note 2s are supposed to be unlocked I was looking at them too. However, I'm looking at them and there are quite a few Verizon Note 2s around/under $200 on Ebay. Is that where the phones value is now? I thought they would be around $250 at least. The one thing all of these have in common are that they are the Verizon models. The tmobile models are still pretty high. Is there something wrong with this model? Are these like those fake chinese clones? Or is the value just at that and I should buy it ASAP? I don't want to throw money down for some random clone

Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob, Does that just mean that custom software can't be installed on it? Like I said my mom is going to be using it so it will probably stay on stock.
Correct, no custom roms or root...depending on what version the phone comes with. What did you mean in your op when you said 'unlocked'?

Step one in that guide says 'ensure your phone has root' That is game over if the note 2 has the latest update. You can't root it.

What about Method 1? Or is that not possible at all cause its a custom rom?
Method 1:
See Adrynalyne's post below (Post #2) for a flashable mod (via custom recovery) that will enable the Add APN menu by removing Verizon's block. (For deodexed roms only)

That requires a deoxed rom, so the note would have to be bootloader unlocked and had a deoxed rom flashed.

Yes they are sim unlocked all you have to do is pop the sim in and add the correct apn's although you'll only get 3g and H+ (no 4G lte)

No offense to that guy but he's wrong bc I and many other put their Verizon note 2 on other carriers with no issues (see forums like note 2 on other carriers there plenty of them)
Now as far as the whole bootloader deal goes for custom rom and root depending on the android version but just to use it stock on another carrier it's sim card unlocked out of the box no root or custom rom needed
I had my Verizon note 2 with a locked bootloader android 4.3 on straight talk (att sim) for months no problems
