Would like to know if my note 2 is a LTE version, will there be cases where i flash a rom i wont have LTE anymore?
Do i have to look out for anything in particular for a rom to support LTE?
The root process for LTE and non LTE is different?

Hey guys, I just got a S3 off of craigslist and have T-Mobile service but still have an AT&T ROM so mobile hotspot, nav and other features aren't working. Is there a T-Mobile RUU available or would I be better off rooting it and going with a custom ROM?
So T-Mobile Rom on an AT&T device is ok?
Like they have no problems..
Just being cautious.I'll flash and see one and update you!!

So far I've used the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682) to root and install CWM recovery. From recovery I successfully flashed Jelly Beans build 15 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973982) and so far everything appears to be working well except for 4g. In the notification area I have "G" and then "3G" but no 4G even in areas where I could pick it up before flashing.
This is an AT&T S3 (i-747) and I used the i-747 image to root/ flash recovery via the toolkit and then flashed the Tmobile variant of Jelly Beans.
Figured it all out. Thanks to this thread I was able to successfully flash a T-Mobile i747 engineering rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771021) which also flashed the modem enabling TMo frequencies. Then I was able to reroot and flash a recovery meant for a t999 so in essence my phone is no longer an i747 but a t999 but with a radio that actually supports 4g/ lte. Basically what the new S3 Tmo is launching. My Jellybeans rom which was based off of a verizon build wouldn't allow 4g so I had to replace it with Darthstalker (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442) which I haven't played around with too much yet but so far is awesome (native tethering works, one of my complaints about other roms). Ah 4G is nice, hit 12Mbps down... So long Sprint... So long Evo "4G"
thank you for the info! very helpful
What area are you, where you get those dl and up speeds? Thanks for the links!

I've been using my rooted note to with tmobile for a while, and since I flashed a few roms, I've noticed that my 4g is a bit slower. Instead of flashing back to the att stock rom, I was wondering if I could flash the tmobile stock rom on it. I only ask because the att variant as the tmobile 4g band unlocked already and every rom I've downloaded is compatible with both. Virtually the same phone, so I figured this may be possible. Any ideas?

Can you please add a link to aws dummy zip. I am new in this world. Just bought an unlocked i317 but want to use tmobile sim. While flashing tmobile rom on my i317, it fails at radio part. Would like to try this method. But I could not find aws dummy zip on the net.
HI all
I have an international i9505, and I will be moving to USA soon.
I want to use Tmobile sim card.
Is it safe to just flash a Tmobile S4 kernel on top of my current rooted stock TW rom?
I want to know because of the frequency Tmob uses is 1700/2100 and my current phone does not support those frequencies I think.
Or can I just flash a Tmobile S4 MODEM ?
Please can you help..
cheers

As far as the whether or not you'll be able to get LTE, I can't answer. I've looked around a little bit and got conflicting reports; though I haven't dug too deeply into it. Basically, T-Mobile says it should, but the i9505 doesn't support frequency 1700; only 2100. T-Mobile uses band 2100 for both 3G and 4G, depending on the markets apparently... ***Note: I'm not saying every word of that is 100% correct, just from the extremely small bit of googling I did on the subject, that's the conclusion I was able to draw.
As for the kernel; don't believe you want to flash the M919 kernel on your i9505. Most it will do is fail to boot if they're incompatible though, so make a nandroid. The kernel also wouldn't affect your ability to pick up the 1700mhz band, so that isn't even a consideration as to whether you should flash a TMO kernel or not.
A friend upgraded his phone to the note 3 and gave me his At&t note 2. I am with Tmobile. I am going to have it unlocked. I want to root it and flash a rom to it. Since its was on At&t network do I flash it with a rom from the At&t section or Tmobile section? If i am missing anything else that is required other than which section to use for rom flashing please feel free to inform me.

You can flash just about any rom from the AT&T section because most do not flash over the modem you have installed. I believe the DN3 rom is the only exception to this rule. For AOSP based roms, you can flash any of the roms here. You may also want to check the N7105 XDA area because it has more options than the TMO Note 2 section.
Bajan will probably add more clarification here because he has a TMO and AT&T Note 2 and visits all 3 forum areas.

I have a AT&T i337 lost service then went to local cell store.. Switched to Met==PCS.. 60/month unlimited data.. Plus they are on the T-Mobile network just as good just cheaper.. I haven't been throttled at all that I can tell...
I have the ATT Note 2 and currently using it with TMo and I am getting LTE speed and HSPA+ on the reform 1900 area. You don't have to do anything with the modem as long as you have it unlocked. I have only been using ATT based rom on my phone. And everything works, MMS, data, call etc. I do encounter some issue where it hangs while pulling data (not too often) but for most part it works great. I either just have to turn the network on/off or just a restart. I do not use any of the Tmo software like visual voice mail or wifi calling (as you won't be able to use it with any of the ATT ROM).
I have a One X on T-Mobile from AT&T and so far everything is great. Just have to be in a 1900 MHZ or LTE area to get high speed data.

I also have the i317 on T-Mobile. I am using the latest MK6 modem for the i317. You can also optionally perform the AWS Mod to enable 4G on the 1700MHz band. Whatever you do, make sure you do not flash a modem meant for the T-Mobile Note 2 (T889) or you will end up with a brick. As was already mentioned any of the ROMs in the Development section will work for this device.

You can flash it with a rom from Tmobile Section
I Have successfully unlocked my t mobile edge+ for any GSM carrier. My questions is now that i have no restraints (Rooted/Unlocked) can i use any rom now. I know the CDMA versions verizon/sprint are off limit but other GSM versions? Or am I still burdened by the G928T model forever??
I have an ATT Edge+ that I use with T-mobile without wifi calling, looking for the same answer but apparently are some hardware differences that won't let you use ROMs from other versions of the phone.
You can use the international roms for the edge + just make sure when you click on them look for the rom that's compatible with the T model, you could also use the T mobile note 5 too

Umm you didnt need to do the carrier unlock to flash any "GSM ROM," only an unlocked bootloader was needed...
I am interested in knowing, which of these "GSM ROMs" were you looking forward to flashing, now that you're no longer hitched?
