[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Throwing a bone into the equation. For example, look at all the used ATT Notes that are for sale at this moment. I would say most of those are still involved with a subsidized 2 year contract. So how would future purchases like this be handled? I wonder if IMEI codes will have to be released before they can become unlocked. That would be the only way to run checks on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
All I can say about that is a web service chat session with at&t gets you the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JOSE89178:
Lmao You guys think there going to approve this and make it legal again? :p

T-Mobile and AT&T are the ones who created to make the idea of unlocking illegal and presented it to the Congress. I don't see them making this legal again. Obviously its a monopoly. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
This seems like it's aimed at people who are selling unlocked phones in higher numbers - it's not illegal to call up your carrier, request the unlock code, and unlock the phone, yesterday or today or whenever. It's only illegal if they say "no" and you go ahead and unlock it by some other means.

IMO, this is aimed for iPhone users - my phone took me 5 minutes to unlock, since I happened to have a SIM from another carrier. iPhones need to go through some big process to unlock, even officially. I asked for my wife's unlock code for her phone, and they gave this whole list of instructions, which included 24-48 hour wait for the code to be obtained, or something.

If I had to go through that with the Note, I might think about unlocking it by some other means as well, especially if I'm just trying to sell it.

Finally someone who understands what there talking about, I agree %100. Everyone is getting this twisted and putting in there own words. Like the other day my friend thought it was illegal to use his AT&T unlocked phone on T-Mobile.

I wonder if there going to start banning Gevey Sims, those sim card trays that unlock your iPhone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
". . . starting today it is illegal to unlock a subsidized phone or tablet that's bought through a U.S. carrier."

It has nothing to do with higher numbers. The target of the law are subsidized phones. That means the $700 phone you upgraded to for $400. 1. The carrier still owns $300 of that phone and they don't want you messing with their property. 2. They don't want you getting a reduced price on a phone, sell it, and have it go to a competitors network.

If you pay full price, you can do what you want to with it.

Its been most US carrier's policy to only unlock the phone after a period of time. Usually after the next version of the phone has been released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] steadly2004:
I think that's why they give you a discount on a contract and if you break the contract you're paying that difference back. So when you pay the early termination fee you pay that 300$ and the phone should be yours. Our less depending on how long you've been in the said contract and how much is left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Here's a good post that explains in layman's terms what's going on:

http://www.androidcentral.com/what-you-need-know-abut-cell-phone-unlocking

In short, if you BOUGHT a phone AFTER 1/25/13 you must ask for permission to unlock the phone (by calling them). The law covers the software used to lock the phone not the actual lock. Phones on verizon and Sprint aren't covered as those companies use databases to monitor if the phone is allowed to use the network and don't have a lock on the device. You can still unlock your phone assuming you bought the phone before the 25th because your plan was negotiated before this went into effect.

They can't LOCK unlocked phones nor can they deny you for using any unlocked phones. All it really is preventing companies from infringing on reverse engineering the company's lock software. After the 26th if you buy a phone outright you own it and they can't force the phone to stay locked, it's all about the subsidy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] richard371:
This is BS wether you paid full price or subsidized price it is sill your phone because you signed a contract. If you break the contract you have to pay the ETF which makes up for the phone price to the carrier or your credit will go to hell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Well until I hear of anyone getting a fine for doing this I will think of it as a lot of wing-flapping and dust throwing. I wouldn't give it a second thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
Without the carrier's permission.

Context, my friend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
That was a quote from the article. You are free to add more to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
You're both right. what ranger said was a direct quote from the article and Baudilus was right because the article is from ABC and it's a fearmongering tactic to get people into a panic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I wonder how many people actually unlock their phone? Using the government to enforce a company policy seems abusive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Agreed. I honestly haven't unlocked my phone, don't have a need. I've been with at&t for 12 years and still am happier with them then my friends are with their carriers. I was the first of my friends to have lte and I have unlimited data so I'm as happy as a clam. But what this does mean, as the bill is aimed at the controller software that there could be a future expansion to cover rooting the phone to remove their added in software...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
I see T-Mobile are advertising no-contract monthly plans now, I wonder if they will refuse to unlock phones bought with those plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crixley:
not every unlocking is looking to switch carriers.. some people travel to other countries, etc...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
This is why I unlocked mine - however infrequent, when I do travel to another country I find that a local rented SIM is usually cheaper that turning on the international plan for a month.

Plus I did it because I could.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shane Oo Mac:
I agree completely
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] md1008:
Unlocked the note yesterday paid $10 so now I can use it on T-Mobile. Legal or not still super easy to do so
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
I completely agree, I didn't mean that people ONLY unlock their phone to switch carriers, just saying I've never had a need to unlock mine as I've never been out of country (well Canada, but Canada doesn't count because it's like our polite attic)

so long as you purchased it before the 26th it's completely legal. But like other people were saying, it's a lot of chest beating and i doubt any lawsuits will come of it.

Introduction

I know nothing is impossible, and I have searched around on Google and really didn't find anything relating to what I'm about to describe. I know for a fact that if a company did what I am about to describe, it would be an amazing product for that company. Maybe you guys here at XDA can cook something up.

The back story

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II running Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 OS and would love to have the latest Jelly Bean 4.2 OS. Now I know you can root your phone and do all that fancy stuff, but for someone like me who is not very smart on computer programming, I thought up of a great product someone could develop.

Now I have seen a few products that you can download and install that makes it super easy to install different Android OS's, but the different OS's have different features. So lets get to it.

The great product idea

Develop some software that someone like myself can install and use to create CUSTOM Android OS's with all your favorite features to install.

I have noticed that all the different Android OS's have different features some other versions just don't have. I just figured It would be great to create something that would allow you to drag and drop all the features you would like to have then click create so you would have your very own custom Android OS to install that fits you and your phone with all the features you wont without the ones you don't.

Thanks for reading.

"If you go back to your old 4.1 backup: Do not forget to re-flash your 'old' boot.img.

Also note that you'll have to move your migrated data from /sdcard/0/ back to /sdcard/ (CWM doesn't know about /sdcard/0/ yet).

This can be done via (while booted in CWM):"
