Is there one, if at all?
I know some rom's don't come with a radio and sometimes I try to tend to flash those types of rom's.
But I was just wondering... Right now I'm on Jedi XP12 for the i317.
Also my phone is AWS hack/enabled, so do I really need to worry about a radio?
Dont flash any radio accept for att note 2 radio. If im not mistaken it will brick it

Yeah I know that, I was just wondering if there was any modded radio or modem made for i317 users on T-Mobile.
Or what would be the best recommended radio/modem for i317 users on T-Mobile, if any at all?
I typically try to stick to rom's with no radios/modems, so my phone isn't uselessly searching and searching for AT&T Signals since it's on T-Mobile... If that makes any sense, plus just to save the battery a lil bit more, since I don't need them.

Hers the newest modem from TMO. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380
I loaded the latest b4, the newest release on my buddies GN2 and his signal improved drastically..

Okay so it's safe to flash other carriers modems and brickable unsafe to flash other carriers radios?

When ya did that was it cause the newest one wasnt out yet?
I'm on 4.1.2, so I wonder if I should use the 4.1.2 version, also the modem ya can just install through TWRP or do I need to use Odin? I'm thinking Odin instructions is for the factory image..
I'm curious.
Hrmm...
Okay tried that made sure make a nandroid backup including my existing modem, flashed the new modem and it'd recheck the app's then finish that and sit there stuck and frozen on sorting app's, had to restore from nandroid.

Could it because I'm running a rom that has a modem already installed on it, let alone a AT&T modem?
I'm using JDEVIL's rom right now.

Ok, you have a TMO GN2 right? And your saying the you have a AT&T modem on there? Because that will brick the phone. But if you have it up an running then your good to go. My buddy has the TMO version. So when I switched or his modem with the new one his speeds increased. So I'm saying if yours if a TMO GN2, then you'll b ok flashing a TMO modem!

Naw vice versa kinda, I have unlocked AT&T Note 2 (i317) on T-Mobile, I know better to cross flash rom's so to speak (Ya know flash a T889 rom onto a i317), but I was just wondering since there were so many AT&T Note 2 users on T-Mobile if there was any sort of a hacked and modified T-Mobile Radio/Modem for the Unlocked AT&T Note 2, to get the most out of our signal, connection and speed.
Also if it was needed at all since we have the AWS Mod.

totaly different radios bro it will brick
based on what I've read, T-Mobile's note 2 has the same hardware as the international version. just different radio chip, so theoretically, delete modem file from ROM should do the trick. just my 0.02 tho.
Thats what im thinking. Grqnted, I dont know anything but im very curious if you replaced the modem file if we could run n7100 roms. Can we flash n7100 kernels?

since it's t-mobile branded, there won't be many modem choices. so i wouldn't touch the stock modem at all just in case if you wanna return your device later on.

This is great information. ..g
note 2 verizon on att.. no gps...
I too have a note 2 verizon model, I loaded the clean rom 5 ace and chose att. I also use straight talk as my carrier, My gps quit working!!
The reason I picked att is when I run verizon on the install is that when a call comes it it has a +1, when I call someone right back I get a international call failed every fricken time. anyone have a fix for "note 2 verizon on att service" Please help'!!!
Is there anyway to completely erase everything from the tmo note 2 and flash att rom to work as a att note 2? If hardware is the same as att note 2 why would it not be possible to turn this phone into a att note 2 with full LTE?

Im almost a 100% sure that if you have it unlocked and put in an ATT sim card in you should have service. To make it better just flash an ATT modem/radio to the device and that should give you the best results. ATT and T-Mobile's GN2's have the same LTE bands in them so you should get ATT LTE with this device. Good Luck
Hey DROID... I tried that and got stuck in a boot loop. I even tried to recover my back up and still boot loop. .. had to Odin stock firmware and re root. .. Any other ideas?

Make sure that the ATT modem/radio is compatible with the tmobile GN2. If not then you will get a bootloop. And also i suggest flashing a custom ROM.

It's because the hardware is not the same. You can flash radios but hardware is different enough to cause a bootloop if you flash the entire rom.
Ok so forst off I am using a tmobile note ii
But I have it unlocked and I have an at&t go phone sim in it.
While standing in an at&t store, I was looking at another go phone on the lte network

I think more than that, you have to enable the ATT LTE bands on the radio itself... that is a change made in the radio itself that doesn't change if you flash ROMs or whatever... ATT and T-Mobile use different frequency bands, so this may be all that you need to change... If you search here, I know I came across a thread about enabling those ATT bands... I don't have a T-Mobile Note2, so I didn't bookmark it... but I know it's on here...
Good luck,
Don

You can NOT cross flash modems. With ANY Device!!!. You'll end up with a lot of PROBLEMS.:banghead: Or even a brick!!
What you need to do is the AWS bands unlock feature!

Any galaxy s phone can use modem.bin or mdm.bin from any other galaxy s phone. As long as they are not sprint or verizon.
When did this change?

Well I haven't done anything like that. Don't think TMO GN2 modem will work well on a AT&T GN2... you'll end up with boot loops!!
Try it and let me know you out come.

I just picked up this MetroPCS S4, it is unlocked, I get LTE using my tmobile sim and all that good stuff..
My question is, are ALL the T-Mobile roms compatible???
Another possible concern, even though it's working, it is still using the metro apn, and depending on who you ask, there is all different T-Mobile apns. Which one is the actualy one the S4 came with on T-Mobile?
Thanks in advance.
The T-Mobile ROMs will work. Just don't flash the T-Mobile modems.

No roms come with modems.. That would be a disaster.. Use the fast.t-mobile APN, although if it works with your current APN and don't have problems I think it'll be ok.. I think metroPCS and T-Mobile apns are backwards compatible, I've used T-Mobile APN on metroPCS before and never had problems

Cool, could I use a stock T-Mobile rom on my metro s4? Or is there like a stock prerooted flashable metro rom?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
You can just use the T-Mobile ones.
I don't think I have seen any for metro floating around yet.
I can even use the stock T-Mobile rom? What about if I Odin back to stock? Would a tmobile image mess it up?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
You won't be able to use the odin ones.
But the custom roms to download will all work fine.
Just don't flash a tmo modem on it.
So I can't use a stock T-Mobile rom? Not like Odin, but like a deodexed version or whatever?
