anybody know how to unlock note 2 from tmobile to metropcs ??? i tried pay to this company cellunlocker.net but is there some problem with this company and i cant get to make my network to work with metro pcs
 
Fair enough however "flashing" and "unlocking" are two different things. If you live somewhere that Metro has only CDMA, "flashing" won't help. If you live somewhere that Metro supports GSM, you would just need an unlock code.
 
this is what i find out 11 660 metroPCS metroPCS Operational CDMA2000 1900 / CDMA 2000 LTE/AWS 1700 1X EV-DO Rev.A in approx. 33% CDMA 1900 Markets. LTE/AWS 1700 uses 1700 MHz as downlink and 2100 MHz as uplink. .... so what i need to do from here
 
u cant use a tmobile note2 on metropcs

network/radios are not compatible

you cant unlock, you cant flash, you cant do anything

it is not possible at all !

metro ans tmobile use the same band frequency, so, they will work .. right ??

no they don't

metropcs uses a cdma/lte combo

tmobile uses a gsm/hspa+ combo

the frequencies dont matter, its a totally different network technology

...bottom line is, there is no way to use a tmobile device on metropcs

none will, you would need to hope that samsung releases a version to work with metropcs

which is very unlikely to happen, at least not anytime soon

Supposedly Metro uses 1700/2100 in some cities. However if you're stuck with the phone, you could open an account with Straight Talk or Simple Mobile.

FWIW, a friend of mine just got on it in LA...better service with TMo branded Sensation 4G than with the Virgin service and LG phone before it. But with Simple, you should basically get the same as w/TMo. I get this in the Balt/DC corridor w/TMo:

...YMMV.

bro ..

save your money and stop buying devices that won't work

nothing will work unless Samsung releases a note made specifically for metropcs

Sprint and Verizon Note 2 will work flashed to Metro PCS at 3G speeds. Everything will work.
Call, Texts, Pic Messages, internet

Companies are doing it for about $45 - $75
 
Why pay money when the carrier will just provide the unlock code, or one could use the simple unlock method found on the xda forum (and here).
