Hey guys,
I'm sure this has probably been answered somewhere but I have an old SGH-i317M from TELUS and was wondering if you can flash custom ROMs for N7105 on these old devices. I've noticed that only the International variants have been kept up to date in terms of development work when looking at Cyanogenmod whereas the US models have pretty much died after KitKat.
May you please advise?
Thank you.

No, don't use anything from a different model number.
I know that other than the modem firmware, there is no difference between the sgh-i317, sgh-t889, and gt-n7105. However I don't know if the SGH-i317M from TELUS is any different from the SGH-i317 from AT&T. Some cursory googling leads me to believe that they're the same.
You can use 85% of gt-n7105 on i317 i am currenlt using Mokee from N7105, flash shift kernel firstafter flashing rom then reboot

I spent 3+ hours trying to figure out if it's possible to flash my Rogers GS3 with the HK (International version) GS3 ROM.
All I found is "[HOW TO] Unbrick your Sprint phone from flashing an International gsm boot image"...
Is that a No?
Thats a no, the international galaxy s 3 has a different cpu chip. There have been lots of bricks flashing there roms on our phones

Thank you very much for your quick reply!
You can't flash international ROMs, and it seems that Sprint ROMs might be causing IMEI loss on AT&T type phones (my hunch based studying cases on the forum, not at all confirmed), but flashing d2att ROMs such as CM9 for d2att with the official d2att CWM has worked perfectly for me on Bell, and probably should too for you on Rogers (as the hardware is the same). (No guarantees whatsoever)
Hello everyone, im looking to install cyanogenmod on my note 2 from wind mobile in canada (i think it uses AWS) and i cannot for the life of me target a custom rom compatible with my phone (or i have no idea were to look) under cyanogenmod there are 2 catagories relevant to my phone i believe in there wiki. T0lte and n7100. How can i figure out what one to use? (i hope cyanogenmod is the way to go, im looking for a slimmer rom to save some battery, no need for samsung kies, air play or whatever etc.)
Not n7100

so definately T0lte? i really dont want to mess up my radios, as from the drama ive seen from other Canadian users it can be complete hell trying to resore them.

tolte, never n7100
Even though LTE is disabled out-of-the-box on the T889V (and was on the T889 prior to the update) its very much an "LTE" Note 2 device. Cyanogenmod and other custom ROMs typically flash only the /system partition, and possibly the kernel (and ramdisk, both included in boot.img to the specific). They shouldn't in most circumstances touch the modem partition that's behind the issues you're dreading.
To be on the safe side, make proper backups in both QPST and CDMA Workshop formats.
N7100 is nice and I got better battery life out of it than the TMO one. N7100 is only good on ATT Networks and will never have LTE. So the TMO Note2 is best.
Can roms, specifically from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1960 be installed on the T-Mobile GN2? If so, are there any modem / radio issues with the latest TMo radio or is there a better N7105 radio that should be used / recommended?
For the most part yes. I'd stick with roms from AT&T version however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1875
If you see a ROM on AT&T version, and also see it on the t0lte (international LTE), then I'd presume it be safe to install the international lte version.
Personally I've only tested PAC and Rootbox. Anything else on t0lte that you try is all on your own
But generally speaking, as long as the t0lte rom you installed does not include the modem, it's good to go. Just don't go flashing the GT-N7100 ones; only GT-N7105 if you don't want the AT&T roms.
t0lteatt YES
t0lte MAYBE
For kernel, most people would recommend NEAK and you can find that in the GT-N7100 forum.

Thanks, that is what I assumed. I actually have installed the Carbon t0lte rom before (late night, wasn't paying attention) without issue and worked fine, never have installed a t0lteatt rom.
With that said, there seemed to be more dev options on the international variant so I was curious. I saw conflicting answers in a search so figured I'd ask again. If I do take the plunge, I'll report back with the end result.
Forgot to add, I would stay away from the international GT-N7100 touchwiz based roms though as some people say the kernels they use may have issues with US variants.

Agreed. There are hardware differences on the N7100 compared to the N7105 I have read about.
Only plan on using 7105 variants moving forward.
Hi there, Just a question......
I know there is quite a few different variants of the n7105, but, me as a UK user, can I flash different variants, ie verizon or AT&T (Well, I flashed cleanrom i think it was called???) and it worked perfectly.....
There arent any roms in the 7105 forum, so would like to use other variants to flash more
also I KNOW you cant flash n7100 roms to out 7105
is it just a case of downloading other variants, and flashing devil kernal etc??
Most of the at&t roms work well. I use agni kernel

So I was running 4.4.4 (I forget who's build) and I just did a search on marshmallow and I saw a CM 13 so I flashed it without reading. I know, stupid noob. Anyways, my phone now says it is a GT-N7105 on android 6.0.1.
I do not like it. Before I try, I was curious if anyone knows if flashing it back is possible.
Thanks
N7100 or N7105?
i317, N7105, T889 are universal and every lollipop(?)+ROM will be branded as N7105 to my knowledge since there's no reason to maintain three different sources

I don't think there's no practical reason to not like that "cosmetic" change, but can understand the feeling. If you really can't stand it so much, you can get a build prop editor and change the model name yourself. I don't think there's any app relying on that info nowadays.
On the other hand, I kind a wonder if those three models are exact same ("universal") down to PIT level. Not that it matters unless you want to increase the size of userdata or something.
Boot into download mode to confirm the phone's model #. Once you have the model #, find the latest firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.
