Currently there aren't too many roms available for the epic 4g touch for sprint... I heard of using roms from other devices befoer. Just wanted to know if it's possible with my device, if so what roms are we able to flash from other devices?

Don't think that'll work. Unfortunately.

that would be a serious mistake....dont do it
So we only got about 4 stock based roms on this device and now this LOS issues! Man is this worth keeping at all? What about roms from galaxy s 2 for att or Europe models or GT I900??? None of these are compatible?

Nope, they all have different radios, etc. Flashing them would seriously hose your phone. And in dev terms our version hasn't been out that long.
.....
other roms
The thing you could flash miui and flash a tw kernel before you boot and it will boot but no data wifi etc ..... The kernel loads drivers and when the roms dont match it will fail loading drivers ..... roms from sg2 are close but radios wont work .you will have to change stuff in build prop etc to boot it our it will error... we just need some time and devs will be coming here its much better than that pos evo3d ...my 6 yo uses my evo3d to play angrybirds and other games ....its pretty funny how much i hate that phone

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.
Hi guys i need some help from you guys and developers . As we have 4.3 roms ported to our device by very great developers but we all are facing data loss on these roms. when device screen goes off for few minutes and while making screen on i see no data connection on my device . Problem i came to understand that its a modem issue because 4.2.2 modems are not compatible with 4.3 software . my question is that can we safely flash modems from AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 OR I9505 devices . All roms and kernels of AT&Tand i9505 devices are compatible with our device. In past on my galaxy s2 T-mobile device i flashed modems from AT&T variant and they were working fine. may be this can resolve our data loss issue
Thanks for your help and advice ....
I believe that this time around the modems can't be flashed from different carriers correct me if I'm wrong

Not without breaking the phone, you are correct.
In past on my galaxy s2 T-mobile device i flashed modems from AT&T and verizon variant and they were working fine. It was the same issue when we upgraded . This was the solution to resolve data connectivity issue . And some developers also modified the modems to resolve the issues on Galaxy s2 to make them compatible .That's why i tried to share my past experience . But now we can not go ahead with this problem until we do not resolve this issue . we do not expect any update from T-mobile for our device in near future . only developers can help us to resolve hardware and software complexities .

Here is the deal, NONE of the custom zip file roms found here in XDA which we flash contain "MODEMS/RADIOS".
There is a good reason behind why they don't have modems. (brick at worst and soft brick at best if we flash modems)
The only firmwares/roms which contain MODEMS are those which we flash using ODIN, like stock roms which
are specifically designed for our M919 Tmobile Galaxy S4 phones and no other models.
These zipfile cwm/twrp flashable tmobile/at&t/i9505 roms for the most part can be interchangeable especially
if we flash a proper kernel for our specific phones but if you flash MODEMS you are just asking for a lot grief.
Good luck! (you just might need it)
I was just asking because it was possible . i was using galaxy note radio on galaxy s2 t-mobile SCH -T989
In this thread you can see galaxy note T879 radio for galaxy s2 and telus radio which was canadian variant and blaze 4g radio for galaxy s2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
I used galaxy note radio on galaxy s2 . i do not claim its my idea but i give credit to those developers who made it possible on galaxy s2 when it was upgraded from gingerbread to ics. i am not like others who steal others roms and claim their own .
I was seeking help from our developers to look into and tell us the possibilities.
T-Mobile devices support different LTE bands than other carriers and the i9505, which means our hardware is different, specifically the modem. Pretty much everything else is the same, which is why we can run other carrier roms. Radio comms are another beast though...not saying it couldn't work, but its much lower level than the OS/ROM is.
So I've done some searching in the forum (on phone) and wondered if anyone else is having an issue flashing roms other than stock rooted.
I've tried all kinds of other roms cm, miui, liquid smooth, et cetera, and they all get stuck at boot. This is a new thing because I've run all these roms in the past.
I'm on moar 6.1 and it's a great Rom, but I'd like the option to change roms at some point...
You are naming AOSP roms. If you have a newest S3, please try with an updated version. Start with SlimBean build 2( exactly that one) because it's confirmed to work with newest models.

Dude....it wasn't the ROM's fault at all, nor the phone's....it was the loose nut behind the wheel....me.
I forgot (have been forgetting) to format data. For whatever reason, I was manually formatting just the minimums. DANGIT! Works like a charm now...or rather I'm working like a charm now.
Thanks anyway.
I just got my P607T, the T-Mobile lte version. I've been researching and can't find any roms specific to my device and can't tell if any of the roms are compatible with my device. Can anybody tell me if there are roms meant for or compatible with this specific device??
If you mean Samsung Official, apparently they're (also?) here. I know nothing of custom ROMs.

Yeah, meant to say custom roms...not necessarily cm, pacrom, or anything but at least something debloated with some tweaks.

you can debload your stock rom if you are rooted and using xposed framework is very usefull and sufficient to customize stock rom.
I'm looking to make voice call ( network ) on this device or custom rom which supports voice call and spen
Hadn't been over there in quite a while, but the N7105 forums have some sweet ROMs if you're looking for a change that should work fine on our phones...
Currently running "CM Remix" which has everything but the kitchen sink for an AOSP rom, and so far seems very smooth and stable

They should all be safe to flash. Same hardware on the internal LTE variant.
The build.prop and APNs may vary slightly, but many of the ROMs in this forum are exactly the same as their international versions anyway

By checking for a modem in the zip as the n7105 modem isn't compatible with AT&T or t-mobile. If modem is in the zip I usually just replace with proper modem for your carrier.

Mine is the ATT variant but unlocked and used in Central America. I'm guessing it will work with any modem?

No since it's AT&T you will need an AT&T modem in the phone as any other modem will cause an unknown baseband.

Got it, thanks!
Still running the ROM I mentioned in the OP, and it has too many features and too few flaws (none!) for me to try any other!
New build made yesterday - gonna try that, though
BTW, didn't have to change anything to get it optimized for the ATT model- even the APNs were all set up (unless maybe I restored settings that I wasn't aware of)...
1st Nov 2014 (ver 3.0.5.0 STABLE Fix)
Kernel : bundled with latest agni kernel ( Boeffla Sound version with new wifi module)
Update SuperSu to ver 2.16
native support to F2FS (no need to flash any convertor, native support F2FS partition of System. Internal data and Cache partition)
Fixed ART mode * (1 st Nov 2014)

Looks like a great rom!. I'm assuming this rom is ok to flash for any LTE variant (Bell) since it doesn't include a modem?

Should be fine! Just back up as you always would with TWRP and make sure you backup the modem as well. That way you'll always have one backed up if you need it just in case...
Yep, as long a modem isn't included in the zip (which it *typically* isn't in the case of AOSP based roms), you're good to go.
I personally don't even flash t0lteatt roms when they're available and instead use their t0lte counterparts, as the t0lte versions are sometimes more likely to be updated more often (and in some cases the t0lteatt device tree has been abandoned entirely!)
And if anyone's wanting to build a rom from source, while we're on the topic of AOSP roms, the t0lte tree is the way to go as far as the Galaxy Note 2 LTE models are concerned.

What reminded me to check the international forum was when I went to deactivate my old phones in Google Play Music, I noticed most of them were listed as an N7105- and all of the ROMs were downloaded from this forum anyway...
I was wondering about trying Roms from that forum too. I kept seeing posts where someone said something about a DN4 Rom. So I looked it up and downloaded..........only to find that it is not one of the Roms that works on our phone.......as of yet. It did flash and start up, but before I could make it past the welcome screen, I got a bunch of pop-ups about various items "quit working." And they kept coming back. And then I had the unknown baseband with no signal.................basically it just doesn't work. Damn shame too, cause it looked so nice. But this did make me look at the other Roms and I will be trying a few of them. I must say though, DN4 had my mouth watering for the GN4 experience on my 2.

You can only flash roms from the n7105 section. The roms in the development and original development sections won't work
