Now i have succesfully unlock The Verison GS3 to Tmobile on Edge is there a way to port that radio. to get cell connectivity.
or if anyone want to try to tweak these settings to get more than just LTE connection. or get Voice over LTE working!
I do believe that you need the HSPA radio to make phone calls as T-Mobile does not yet support VoLTE.

What are you doing for apn setting? There are 3 for tmo-us that I know of. 1)gsm 2)lte 3)lte ipv6. You may have to down load an apn app. Apn manager pro worked well for me or offline sim apn database. Not sure what you use for network mode settings but use build prop editort open it up and find the settings telephony.lteoncdmadevice & telephony.lteongsmdevice use value 1 on both. Add lines if not there. This may open up more network types under setting/...network mode. Google build prop edit or tweaks to find more info. Good luck.
i535 radio/modem
Been thinking about you question to swap modems. Do not use the i535. The modem that would be ideal I believe is the r530m. That is metro PC variant. T-Mobile merged with the.... Do I need to explain more? Any how I can not say it will even work. I will say that T999L is no good. Found out first hand and still dead in the water with it. I would explore the APN settings and network selection modes with build prop mods before flashing. I am not even sure about the LTE bands and who has what and where. If I am able to revive my 530u I will see what I can find.
Where can I get the r530m modem? Can't find it anywhere.

So, is it possible to flash the R530M modem????
This may work on other devices and carriers having this same issue. And know were your phone was made to help others. Look under your battery to find were it was made
I started this thread cause over the past 2 years their has been speculation that it's the sgh-i317 made in Korea that's not getting LTE out of the box. I tried everything. Changing my imei, nv items, roms, modems, etc...
Turns out that I successfully was able to get LTE a 1 1/2 - 2 years ago but really didn't know exactly how I did it. I was helping @Trash213 and rediscovered what I had done. Turns out It's a provisioning error that happens when the sim is placed in that phone for the first time and messes up that line forever. Asking T-Mobile to refresh the provisions does not help but they may give you a free sim.
DO NOT PUT THE SIM CARD IN YOUR PHONE FIRST
The Sim card must first be installed into another
T-Mobile LTE device or registered on one
First thing you need to do, is put your note 2 in LTE all by dialing *#2263# and selecting lte band prefrance then selecting lte all.
Get a new T-Mobile Sim Card.
Or put your Sim card in another t mobile lte device and dial *#2263# select lte band preference and then select lte all. Hit home button got to settings more networks change default operater to manual. Then select t mobile to register it. Don't forget to change the band prefrance back to automatic. It's the first choice in *#2263# menu. If you are successful at fixing your Sim card you may skip the next step.
Once the T-Mobile phone boots go to
settings, about, status.
When you see your phone number ( you may have to reboot or make a phone call ) you can then power off the device and remove the sim card.
Put the sim card in the Korean made sgh-i317 and if you are in a strong LTE area it should come up first next to your signal bars.
If still no lte then hit home button go to settings more networks change default operater to manual. Then select t mobile to register it.
Check that you are getting LTE either by looking at the signal bars or by going to settings, about, status.
Once you see that you are getting LTE go back to phone dialer and type *#2263# and select automatic.

Hope this helps all those phones that couldn't get lte out of the box.
Lookin good, lookin good. Thanks for this, for those that are having this issue. Really made things quite simple.
Damn now if only I had a phone to put the new SIM inside. I've been trying forever to get LTE on this phone ?

Literally only take a few seconds. Once the phone number registers on the network it can come right out of the other persons phone and back into your phone. Bam LTE forever as long as you don't screw it up lol.

Lmfao. If he's cool he might just do that
While this may be great information, this is certainly not development since you didn't "make this" - moved to general where it belonged in the first place. @billb23ok - Take this as your warning - Please do not create threads in development sections without knowing if it's appropriate. Thanks.

I didn't really followed this method but i flashed this room

Is your note 2 made in china. Check under your battery.
This is for the note 2 i317 made in Korea that are having trouble connecting LTE at all with any rom or phone the sim is put into
I'm going to try this later on today. I'll get back to you with the results. There's a new T-Mobile store down the Street from where I live.
Thanks for the hint, and I tried that. However, when I select "LTE ALL", my phone shows "Unknown" under "Mobile Network Type" of the Device Status.
T Mobile just upgrades their LTE my area, and currently the 4G/LTE is very strong in my T Mobile S5 phone.
AT&T unlocked my SGH-i317 Note II last year after my contract ended. Therefore, I want to use with TMobile, but I can only connect up to 4G.
Do I need to upgrade its APN for the radio in order to receive LTE in my area? Thanks in advanced.

Try putting in lte all then manually registering on the network. If lte shows up change it back to automatic. Let me know if it helps

I manually select each LTE selection, but none shows up. Here is the list
[1] LTE B2
[2] LTE B3
[3] LTE B4
[4] LTE B5
[5] LTE B7
[6] LTE B8
[7] LTE B17
[8] LTE B20
[9] LTE ALL
Any other idea, please? Thanks.
P.S.
I was briefly saw the LTE logo appearing under the 4G logo in a fraction of a second, and it disappeared until now.

I don't understand this part when I select 2 to erase the EFS the backup gets deleted too so option 4: Restore is not available so skipping that part I just restored the backup I did with the program which doesn't make the phone reboot so I did it manually and at this point I'm left back at the start as I just made a circle. Restoring the provided file and rebooting phone leaves me with an unknown IMEI. #06# displays " / 11" and a signal of UMTS still. At this point going into the service menu and selecting LTE ALL disables my data and puts me on an Unknown network that I cannot do anything on, when I manually search for a network I get T-Mobile; 311660; AT&T; Verizon and selecting T-Mobile just says Unable to connect. Try later. Switching the band selection back to automatic phones goes back onto UMTS like I did nothing (other than make my IMEI null)

The sim card has already told t Mobile it's a 4G only device. Which is why I started this thread. But I was able to fix the problem with the sim card by putting in another tmobile lte device then back to mine. Instead of replacing it. Try this and let me know how it goes .
I have the note 4 now and my wife kept the note 2 i317.
that phone I have at imei 0/ unknown and 4..4.2 Modem and
conch rebublic 4.3 and the sim would switch to 4G with the original imei. And when ever I put it in someone's phone it would only get 4g. So I registered it on another tmobile lte device and put the sim back in my phone registered it and lte worked.
I was able to fix sim with above steps.
My wife wants to upgrade from her Note 2 to a Note 4 but she spends a large amount of time overseas - China and Malaysia. We know that the Note 2 will work overseas (without a SIM card change) to make quick international calls. But if we are going to spend a long time in China and Malaysia she would like to get a local SIM card to temporarily replace her Verizon SIM). Is this possible with the Verizon Note 4?
If you inserted a non Verizon sim card, you can immediately use voice and text. To enable Internet, you have to find out the APN settings of the provider, then change it in the phone under settings - > more networks - > mobile networks - > access point names. Do note that the option to add APN only available if you put in a non-verizon sim card.

Awesome! Thanks.:good:
Can't seem to get my mobile data on my two sims, one with Vodafone and the other with Talkmobile. Has anyone got theirs to work?
You have to toggle data on under settings>Data usage> you will see the tabs for each sim there so select which one you require.
Solved it!
Get the APN settings online.
Only thing you need to change is the Authentication type to "None" rather than "Not Set".
Also don't forget to turn your mobile data on!
Strange that, both my apn's are on "not set" and data works for me - this is with a 3UK and Vodafone prepay sim
I'm on TalkTalk, another company by vodafone
HI I've got a TalkTalk sim, I had a talkmobile sim about a year ago and they're both a sub brand of Vodafone. All you need to do to get data on your phone is to manually enter the APN settings. I had to copy each detail one by one of my mums APN settingsto my phone(she's also on talktalk). What you need to do is
Go to Settings > More (wireless & networks) > Mobile networks > Access point names > tap the add button on the top right and enter the following details one by one and when done just tap option button then save and select the new APN.
Unfortunately I can't send any details because the APN includes a link and I cant make posts with any links.
Just type your network followed by apn settings android on google, geeksquad is reliable
