Unlocked T-Mobile Note 2 with great screen, tons of accessories, TWRP, and no Knox
The short version: The Note 2 works great and has no noticeable scratches on the screen. You get two batteries, four cases, four screen protectors, the original earbuds and packaging, and more. If you want to use NFC, you need to use the orange Samsung flip cover and two small tinfoil shims. Everything else on the phone works like new. The Note 2 is unlocked and has been verified to work in many countries, plus it's ready to flash ROMs and mods if you want.
The phone: I bought this Note 2 2 years ago on Swappa (https://swappa.com/listing/PJY606/view) and have almost always used it with a screen protector and case, so the glass is almost pristine with a few extremely light scratches that can only be seen at a specific angle in direct sunlight (it was not possible to catch them on camera). The sides of the phone and four back covers have light scratches and wear from everyday use. The AMOLED display has extremely light burn-in from the status bar. All the buttons, slots, and sensors work great. The stylus works just like new and has light wear on the back end. Like all T-Mobile Note 2's, the wireless charging pins won't work unless you solder a wire to the mainboard. The NFC pins need a tinfoil shim to make contact with a back cover.
Technical details: This Note 2 was unlocked by the previous owner and has worked great in countries including the US, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Vietnam with both Samsung TouchWiz and CyanogenMod using the MK7 modem. It was never updated to the official MK7 OTA, so it has the old MD1 bootloader without Knox. I have a backup copy of the EFS partition if you ever need it. I have flashed TWRP, CyanogenMod 13 (Marshmallow), and Xposed so you can use it like a regular phone or mod it however you like. I haven't had any bugs or problems, but I'll be glad to install the official Samsung software with Wi-Fi calling upon request.
Damage description
I have never opened the Note's body and it has never needed repairs. The NFC pins fell off, so you need to put two small tinfoil shims between the contacts and back cover for NFC to work.
