note 2 / ii t-mobile for metropcs

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 !
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
bro ..

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

nothing will work unless Samsung releases a note made specifically for metropcs
False. I have a Galaxy Note II from T-Mobile, and I am currently using it on metropcs, LTE included. I just had to update my modem.bin Yes there were a few painful days of only having 3g/H/H+, but once I got the modem updated with heimdall, I was good as gold :)

I am on the T889 from T-Mobile and have been using metropcs since day one. I had to unlock it and I used my local fix a phone guy to do that for like 10 bucks. But if you want to root the phone the easiest way is either from the phone with kingroot from the play store or with CF-Auto-Root that you must use a pc and although it is a beginners root it is still more advanced
