Thanks! It is pretty simple, only a few things you have to do manually (no possible workaround) such as flashing from the bootloader.

You need to put the contents of exploits.zip in the same directory ADB is in
ok what in that zip needs to go where?

take everything that is in exploits.zip and move it to your android sdk directory specifically the location of adb.exe (will either be in platform-tools or tools) as for the two RUUs, they can be anywhere but you will have to move them at one point to your SD card. That is about it

NO bootsnd.sh install a file bootsound file in system/bin but u direct put any of those file they not work so it is batter install via terminal or android commander or QtADB
only manualy insert bootsound to system/bin and will it work? What file format should have a bootsound ??
What part of what he says Yatin Kumar is not you understand?
To make sound you have to run bootsnd.sh since it is a script
as this adds bootsound in /bin and modify two files more.
the format of sound is .mp3 and his name should be android_sound.and has to stay in data/media.was fully explained here
I just tested it and I can confirm that it works.
Just needed to put bootsnd.sh to /system/bin and run it from there.

I see a little unnecessary.
I followed the instructions according to mdalacu
Working great, and all i had to do was to change only 2 lines in buid.prop using ES File explorer with 2 options activated: Root Explorer and Mount File System.
1. Be sure that you have root
2. Install ES File explorer and Options and check this: Root Explorer and Mount File System
3. Navigate to /system. Long press on buid.prop , open as text.
4. Edit the file by modifying this lines:
ro.product.model=GT-N7000
ro.product.brand=samsung
into
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
5. reboot
6. install from market box (box.net)
7. Create the account. A confirmation message will appear that you have 50 GB capacity.
8. Again from EFS File Explorer navigate to /system. Check that you have a file named build.prop.bak and if so, delete buid.prop. Rename build.prop.bak into build.prop. Now you can disable from options : "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
9. Reboot
10. Enjoy your amizing phone
Note: I had done this on KL7 with stock kernel.
Was able to create a bunch of accounts, then deleted the build.prop file and renamed the build.prop.bak back to build.prop, rebooted the phone, and I get to the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 screen, then it goes black. I cannot boot up the device now.
Any suggestions?

I don't think you are supposed to change "brand" to "manufacturer". For me, there was already a "ro.product.manufacturer" value (edit: of course, I also changed the "model" value) and I just changed that.
However, I don't see how this could have caused your problem. Are you sure you renamed the backup file "build.prop" correctly? Maybe accidentally left a symbol there, or deleted one too many?

Sounds like OP deleted the build.prop and perhaps the rename failed and didn't notice, so now they have no build.prop file whatsoever.

Are you able to access the device using a cable via adb (is USB debugging enabled on your phone)?
I know nothing about rooting the Note just yet, though if it's the same setup as G1/Nexus/Desire (I guess it would be) you should be able to get into recovery then use adb at a command line to push a new build.prop file to /system which should allow your device to boot.

I think you're right about losing the build.prop file. Fortunately, I backed it up. I am trying to access the device now. I have no GUI on the Note. I am hoping it is just a blank screen and the device is still functioning in the background. I'll be back momentarily with an answer to accessing it.
ok...I can access the Note's file system. However, when I try to copy the backup build.prop file into the system directory via Android Commander, it says I need root access to do this permission.
The Note IS rooted. I don't get it.
This appears to be a problem with Android Commander. There are threads about this same problem, but rather than the software creator place a link to his FAQ that he ridicules everyone for not reading, he lambasts them instead. Thats a real good way to get a donation.
Anybody got any other suggestions for a root file explorer, preferably for Mac, but PC will work too.

Please read the OP before posting.

The fact that you are using Android Commander implies you have adb access, this is good.
Here's what I would do to fix your problem, it definitely isn't the only way, but it will work.
#1: Get ADB installed on your PC/Mac/Linux
#2: Open a command line and run
Code:
adb devices
as a test, you should get output that one device is connected via cable, if you don't abort here, nothing else will work
#3: run
Code:
adb remount
This will make your /system writeable
#3: I'll put this as a windows instruction because I don't know the Mac filesystem, but it's almost identical
Code:
adb push C:\build.prop /system/
This will push C:\build.prop (please put your backup copy here) into /system/ of your Note. If you're on a mac, you will need to find another place to put it, e.g. if it's /users/bob/build.prop the command just becomes
Code:
adb push /users/bob/build.prop /system/
I hope this helps
Edit: Paste a copy of output here if it doesn't work so I can help debug

You're really going to have to paste the error messages here for any of us to help you further
Alternatively, can't you just reflash your current ROM on top?
For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit
I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)
Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.

GOT TROUBLE WHILE INSTALLING A RECOVERY? GET A WORKING TWRP RECOVERY AFTER 2 MINUTES ON YOUR XPERIA Z2 D6503/D6502:
open any root explorer app like ES FILE MANAGER
Delete /system/etc/mm_twrp_recovery folder
Go to /system/bin/ folder
Look for the "chargemon.stock" file - If it's present, delete this one: chargemon - and now, rename the chargemon.stock to chargemon
Look for the "taimport.stock" file - If it's present, delete this one: taimport - and now, rename the taimport.stock to taimport
Reboot
download "recovery fix.zip" from mega.nz
extract the file and run "adbrecoveryfix.exe" the .exe file will install some needed files (normally into C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ )
copy the files from the folder "RECOVERY FILES" into the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" Folder
connect your xperia with the pc
open the "m a a d" folder and then SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK to open a command window
now type:
adb shell
su root
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
exit
