[Q] International ROMs for AT&T Note 2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I'm coming from the international, unlocked phones scene and I was wondering if it was possible to install an international Note2 ROM on the AT&T variant? I assume that the only hardware differences between the two models is the baseband chip... I'm considering buying the Note II on AT&T but not if it is incompatible with the international ROMs (I have a feeling that I won't be buying a Note II in america...)
I thought that I was reading a while ago that there is a script or some way to interconvert from one device to the other, was just curious, and please don't flame.

No No.. And...... No

Lol, 2 things.
Op, do not do that, that will brick your phone.
Secondly, check out the date on this screenshot

The end of a decade and an era. I bet you weren't alive for it.

I would like to think that the AT&T Note 2 would come pre-loaded with the latest Jelly Bean....?
Doesn't it? what else would you want?

The international models from Samsung always receive their updates months ahead of the US models, and the development in the international forum is far more "advanced" than in the AT&T forum (No offence) just based on the vast number of international people working on the software.

Its actually because the source code from samsung and Google has been released there. US carriers resist releasing their rom code. Everything we have above ICS is because our developers have to port it over to our phone from some other phone. Experts everyone of them.

Grow up. Samsung isn't doing anything to you. XDA is for people who want to load custom ROMs. There's at least three ICS ROMs available now in the dev forum. If you just want Samsung's (bloated) ICS, why are you here?

Well an official release sure would be good, don't you think? Along with complete working drivers.
Dont want an official release if it's going to be as bad as the sgs2 ICS ;-)
well, the one and only reason we're waiting for the officail release is to get the camera drivers. As far as I'm concerned everything else is working great in Kang rom.

What about my comment would suggest I don't think Samsung should do an official release? I'm just fed up with the whining. What's the point? It doesn't get us any closer to working camera drivers, and it's just mucking up the forum (which wouldn't be such a big deal if the mods would occasionally delete nonsense threads like this....).
BTW- for others thinking maybe Samsung reads these forums: they don't. XDA is (well, it was...) for power-users and devs. We are a tiny fraction of the customer base, and (if you know anything about the business) pretty unimportant. This isn't an insult; it's honesty.
Also, if you want a reason to be angry at Samsung, consider the way the workers in the factories are treated. You think Samsung treats you bad? Try being one of the young women that build the components in the factories, or the people who live nearby and can't drink the water from their own well... You've got it pretty good. You'll get ICS, stop whining on XDA. (BTW- this is directed at the OP, not Jay).

I totally agree, but that's what the report button is for. The mods have plenty to do and can't cover every thread in every forum. Reporting always works a treat for me.

Wait, slack isn't it Apple factory who has it THAT bad? I'm pretty sure all the news headlines were directing it at apple. Samsung does treat it's people a bit better compared to apple.
I don't see how the release can be any different? I thought ICS was supposed to be, "one general OS for all devices" which mean's only minor changes need to be made to adjust to the platform it will be installed on as they already have all the official driver's ahead of time before release. Problem is they pamper the new devices and focus on them that they leave devices like GTab, in the dark.
I've quit anticipating the ICS release with Samsung's horrible "Survival of the fittest" stunt they pulled on which will and will not get the ICS update, no compensation pack was offered aswell despite their promise.

[Q] Got screwed on Craigslist!!!!

Hi, I just bought a galaxy note on Craigslist. If the price is too good to be true, IT USUALLY IS. The note listed as an international unlock model but it actually a Korean version (Shv e160r). Now I'm can not get data to work with the phone. I do some searching and root the phone with terkger kernel but can not find anything on custom rom so my question is
Can I flash the AT&T version or the n7000 custom rom?
There are some Korean app that I can get rid off. Even though I change to the English language the phone dailer still show some Korean letter. There is an antenna on the right top corner of the phone but don't know what is it use for. How much do you think I can get if I sell on eBay? Paid 400 for this piece of sh*t and can't even use it. Please help!!!
Have you tried unlocking the phone????

Well if you actually used XDA instead of the forums you would know we have a Marketplace on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1322. Just make a thread in the Marketplace tellin everyone you want to trade your version for the AT&T or International version. If its new make sure you tell everyone its new and also what color the device is. Also do not try any roms for the Note i717 or the International Note cause they will not work on your version. There are no custom roms for the Korean version but you can root it. Also I would put your device on Ebay or Craigslist too in case nobody trades you on here you can sell it on one of those sites.
Is it an actually really note?
You probably got a clone note.

Its a real Note its just the Korean version. The Korean Version looks like the so called Internation Note but has LTE like our AT&T Notes and I am pretty sure the Korean version comes with recovery built in to it but there is no custom roms yet for the Korean version. There is also a Berry Pink Korean Note which makes it stand out. Its a great device just like all the Nptes there is just not a lot of development going on for it.
you should have gone in to ATT or Tmobile store and siged a new contract or upgrade your current either way you would have paid almost the same since the note has dropped to $249 with a 2yr agreement. I paid like $350 with the lether flap when it just came out.
So there is no custom rom that you guys know that will work with this shv e160k.

There are no custom roms but I would be willing to make a rom if I had the SHV-E160 model of the NOTE. I have the I717 and if I can get the money to purchase the Korean version I will see about making a custom rom. I will take donations.

No I do not wanna trade but if I can get enough money to get the Korean version I will try developing a custom rom for it. There is basically nobody doing anything with the Korean version but I am interested in the device. The Korean version is a bit different than the other Notes and I like what it has to offer so when I get one I will be developing for it.

Optimus G Rollouts begin this month, Jelly Bean mentioned.

So I read this article today, which was released yesterday, and the OG is beginning the world-wide release to 50 countries starting this month. Here's part of a quote from the CEO of LG Mobile,
“With the latest Jelly Bean OS and improved software, Optimus G will make a strong case for the title of ultimate premium 4G LTE smartphone.”

I found this very interesting because it appears these newly released devices will have the JB update at launch. Either way, I like what I see here. I understand many of you are using the ROMs available to us through development, but I can't afford to make any mistakes with my phone, so I prefer stock. Either way, this is good news for all of us.
LG Newsroom Article is found here.
Not getting excited. We'll see when it happens
They were speaking about the international version. AT&T still needs to give our update the two-month treatment. But still it's a good sign that most of the LGOGs will have JB. It should make AT&T speed up their release.
I wish either AT&T or LG or both would get their act together. I want me some Jelly Beans!

I understand that. I'm merely pointing out that this site contains less than 1% of the total users of mobile devices out there. When thinking about why companies do what they do, try to look at the big picture. The big picture is to do what makes the masses happy, and not the select few. Obviously there's a middle ground somewhere, but huge companies can't afford the middle ground, they have investors to win over. Wow, I just got into a territory I really didn't expect to haha!

I don't understand then, how it can possibly be a bad thing for them to release source then. According to you, it will only affect us XDA users and have no bearing on the masses. In the meantime, it would make many of us ecstatic and reduce returns from frustrated users or bricks because people are trying to figure it out sooner. Boom, two birds, one stone. We're happy, fewer returns, win/win.

Thing is, in here we (I, at least), really, Really don't care about the big picture and those of you locked down by your carrier (sorry for being a Richard.) My phone has been freed of AT&T's grip. Most of us can't even, and really don't want to, receive OTA's. Technically, AT&T isn't even my carrier! So whatever time line AT&T is on with JB means nothing to me. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
However, LG on the other hand, is of a little more concern, since they hold the key to JB with the source code. From what I understand though, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, they are obligated to release it. Although, I don't know what time constraints they're under.
Anyway, please don't misinterpret the tone of this thread. All in good fun.

I never said it would be a bad thing for them to release the code. I think it would be awesome if they did for all of the reasons you just mentioned. I was merely bringing to light why they haven't done it yet, but in reality that's anyone's guess.
I have cm10 on my atrix , I really dont see the big deal about JB, i'll take it when it rolls out tho.

Verizons gs4 will have the snapdragon 800 :)

The reason Verizon is delayed so much is there might be a 50% chancee the Verizon Version will have the brand new 800 snapdragon. that's why they are going to have that huge presentation in may to let people now about how Verizons gs4 will be a true beast compared to the others. So I'm Happy and since the 800 is new it will be very very limited that's why only Verizon will have it and no bootloader Samsung already said no.. just thought I should let u all know before you all make ur decision don't believe fine will see who's laughing after Verizon announces it in may after you all bought ur weaker gs4

But, alas, there have only been 46 of them.
Here's a question. What problem is Samsung solving by releasing a different SoC for one carrier? S-600 won't be fast enough on VZW? The masses who buy VZW phones don't know or care what a Snapdragon is. The next big move you'll see Samsung make with the SGS4 at God knows what point in the future is to introduce an Octa/LTE variant that uses the new Qualcomm RF360 baseband with support for all 40 worldwide bands. That move would actually solve a problem. Sticking S-800 in a single variant of the SGS4 for one carrier and market creates problems in the need for seperate support procedures, inventory stocking, and repair parts.
Hmm, Thread closed
Seeing as there isn't any solid evidence to support your point, this thread seems a little futile... there really is no point in making a thread about something you're not sure will even happen?
So providing false/unsupported information can lead to A LOT of confusion. Lets stop that right away,
Thank you,

[Q] Hurry the Change to 4.2.2 for ATT HTC One!

Yeah some people just want stock AT&T Sense. Anyways, I believe it's AT&T fault for not rolling out the update. HTC leaves it up to the carrier to when they want to release the update. I could be wrong because Tmo and Sprint hasn't released 4.2.2 either. I have a feeling that The Verizon HTC one will be released before we see an update.

I've been on 4.2.2 for a little over a month now. Everything just works, and no AT&T bloat. Also have the AT&T OTA radio flashed and the build.prop tweaks needed for the new channels.

Hahaha like it's all HTCs fault... International has it and there is basically no difference between international and AT&T software besides stupid bloat, so go complain to AT&T if you want. I'm sure they'll send the OTA to your phone right there on the spot. :thumbup:

yeah what's up with this? didn't XDA used to require like 50 posts before you could start a thread? this is why we have androidforums.com. regardless, HTC needs to spend more on marketing so that more people will buy their products and ATT will have to prioritize the updating. this delay is not on HTC...it's almost 100% on AT&T. ATT had the HOX JB update for like 3.5 months before they pushed it out to people, and their own customer service isn't even made privy to the status. this is what the purchase of subsidized phones and contracts gets us consumers. if it's REALLY a problem for you, then you're at XDA for the solution. this isn't a place to complain. if you want stock sense, that's fine, I can totally appreciate it, but you dont come to, and sign up for, a Dev website to ***** about the lack of a stock OTA from a carrier known to take (queue Sandlot) FOR-EV-ER to update it's phones.
Interesting. Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful comments. I have rooted a lot of phones and wanted to see why the update was not moving forward. The extra colorful comments are welcomed as well. The only issue with forums is I could be gaining advise from experts or middle school students.

I think the snide replies are rooted in the fact that the basic sentiment of your original post has been stated an overwhelming amount of times on this website, especially with regards to AT&T and HTC issuing an OTA for major - and even minor - software updates. Many folks get tired of coming to this site to read the same thing, hence the increased likelihood of getting a snide reply.
Truthfully, the update probably is moving forward, it's just that AT&T is about as transparent as the Bush administration so we never have any clue where things stand with regards to actual delivery of the updates. Yes, forums is probably going to be hit or miss with regards to quality of advice. But the way you're delivering your comment here makes you seem like you should be in forums, and is probably going to get you some colorful responses from non-middle schoolers.
If you've rooted as much as you claim, you probably know that we almost never know why carrier updates are not moving forward....or if they're moving forward at all. Many come here to find technical solutions and workarounds to that exact ongoing problem, and often get annoyed seeing the same thing posted again and again in each subforum. I think the general assumption here is that many of us are, in fact, frequently posting complaints/concerns/comments on carrier and manufacturer websites, social media pages, forums, etc. We're all on the same boat, or at least many of us.
We welcome rallying for a cause here, but it's possible there's a better way to go about starting a rally for this issue. In the past, folks have posted the actual interactions they've received from customer support reps and techs, feedback responses, etc, and discussions have ensued as to the best ways to get in touch with the companies involved with regards to really displaying the distaste of both the developer and general enthusiast consumer. The AT&T/Rogers/Telus HTC One X forums is a great case study, in particular, the rally around getting the original JB update RUU, source, etc.
I've had a few interactions with HTC and ATT with regards to future updates, but have gotten absolutely zero information from them. Sadly, they mask their lack of sharing as ignorance all too well. Even more sad is that CSRs and technicians are probably not really lying at all when they claim to know nothing about the updates. Again, we're hooked into contract, not to mention that the vast majority of their consumers don't realize the potential benefits of upgrades, and in many cases aren't even aware of their potential existence. That's where we'll probably really see the change, in getting more people familiarized with the beast we are burdened to deal with; not here, but in the general public.

Interesting. Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful comments. I have rooted a lot of phones and wanted to see why the update was not moving forward. The extra colorful comments are welcomed as well. The only issue with forums is I could be gaining advise from experts or middle school students.

Oh haha you just wanted to see why it wasn't moving forward is all?
Strange, then why didn't you ask WHY it wasn't moving forward? Instead you complained that its taking to long and then blindly blamed HTCs new marketing campaign for the delay? Doesn't make any SENSE (pun intended).

This information just came in today. Looks like HTC will jump to 4.3 for the Dev edition at least. Here's the full article: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/08/18/htc-one-developer-edition-jumping-to-android-4-3/

For those who aren't familiar with the word.
