can the sprint note 2 be flashed to t-mobile?
No. T-moble is a GSM carrier. Sprint is CDMA the radios won't pick up each others signal
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Yes they will as this is a world phone ie gsm too.... but sprint has to internationally unlock it and then you need to do the domestic unlock hack ... and before you waste my time responding again no the only way to have it unlocked is by sprint doing it ... they will not do it if it's a bad esn phone or if the phone doesn't meet certain criteria ....ie on a account for last 90 days etc

I'm thinking of buying a used one of these off craigslist ... but I'm on tmobile and I'm worried that I won't be able to unlock it without having an AT&T account first .... Can I unlock one of these without having an AT&T account? Most steps I've read talk about downloading an unlocker program from the market ... but without an AT&T sim card in the phone I don't think I'll be able to access the market ...
What do you all think?
You don't have to have cell network to connect to a wifi and log into market. You will need to root it also before those apps will work. Just fyi though. You will NOT get 3g/4g on T-Mobile

Thanks for responding!
3g/4g only involve data speeds, right? I have wifi at home and at work and do not use a data plan ... So I can root and then unlock on my home wifi without any AT&T account?
I see no reason you can't. I have done lots of phones that way.

Do you or anyone else know how to check if I have the dreaded KK6 2.3.6 version?

I'm using my unlocked Skyrocket on T-Mobile and I am getting 4G Speeds.
I called AT&T and told them I bought the phone off Craigslist, want to use T-Mobiles network. They asked me for the IMEI and gave me am unlock code no questions asked.

Absolutely nothing considering unlocking the 2 phones is a completely different process. On the i777 we can do it with root only. We don't have to call at&t

I just sold a Verizon Note 2 to someone using Tmobile service. He tested voice and it worked fine so he was satisfied with that. Didn't get the chance to test data. What can he expect his data speeds to be? Would also like to know this for someone using AT&T.
Thanks!

I got great download 6-10MB speeds and more then adequate 2+ MB upload. Always depends on the area he is in and if TMO refarmed the 1900mhz around him.

yeah but its been your phone since new right? This one I bought from another owner adn dont plan on using it with sprint
Idk if it can be unlocked for domestic use. Instead of taking the chance, buy a phone that's specifically meant for your carrier. You'll get maximum performance. I think you'd regret it if you got a sprint phone hoping it would work on tmo, no matter how sweet the "deal".
Sprint wont unlock it for international use.
So its up for sale on ebay
Ya seems sprint are being very bad pricks about unlocking these phones... They have the worst customer service I have ever talked to . I am a pc tech and have to be on hold all the time. And sprint by far take the cake on customer service
T-Mobile uses GSM still right? So even if it was Un lockable the phone would only work on a CDMA network.

It was a joke. And Bell South/Cincinnati Bell all the other Bell's were AT&T. Cingular had no part of AT&T until AT&T bought em up. I had to sell against all of them for Sprint, so I knew all about that. Would be nice to work for Cingular back then before the buy-out. Their sales reps were making $60 commission per line on a new contract. $30 on an upgrade. Most we ever made was in the month of December $12 for a new line, $7 upgrade. Made quite a bit when one of the first Sanyo flip camera phones came out. Think I sold 35 in one day working @ a mall kiosk.
Feel bad for the sales guys who had to feed their family on commission checks bc all of the commissioned sales reps were eventually done away with. The race was over and the American dream, you could argue, went away with it...
Ahh, satire. That's how life was back around the turn of the century. Gimme a break, I'm old!
I know someone was working on internationally unlocking the device without sprint. Doesnt look like they got it yet though.

I doubt internationally unlocking is possible, due to frequency issues as far as I know.

No LTE no matter what you do, the device is CDMA period! You can not change that, so yes, you can unlock, but chances are you will get 3g only!

I plan to buy a Note 3 from craigslist that is listed to be working fine but has got bad ESN. I am intending to use it in India on GSM network with 3G (900/1800 & 2100). So my doubts are with respect to Knox and region. Can I unlock it and use it here in India without any problems. Appreciate all the help.:angel:

They would not unlock it if you paid full price from sprint either .....has to be on the account for 90 days ...and Bill has to be up to date etc ... they don't have to unlock it ... they do it only because some sprint people actually travel and it's nice to be able to pop a sim in ....vzw only had unlocked phones because they have to from fcc .... Maybe people should just buy a gsm phone if they want use it on gsm

They also limit the number of phones you can unlock per year. I travel a lot and have a lot of phones so it's frustrating for people like me who like to use their CDMA phone as their int'l GSM phone as well...

I think you are just missing the point. It would be much more practical if every phone was unlocked for cdma or gsm use like the Nexus 5 is. I have a Nexus 5 I bought from Sprint and it runs on Att right out of the box. This is how all phones should be. I happen to have Sprint and Att accounts and its great to be able to swap phones between them without a huge hassle.

I am not missing the point this is a 600 dollar phone and these people want to get it cheap and unlock it instead of paying more for it .... it's people trying to rip off these companies ... the full price of this phone is right at 600 but you can get it with bad esn for like 200 ... it's just people being cheap
There are threads just like this on note 3 s4 S5 g2 etc for sprint all the same
The Nexus from Google was 400 to start out off contract
