I just had a quick question. T-Mobile announced that they are deploying their LTE network and releasing a patch for the note 2 so that it will have LTE. My question was can this phone use T-Mobiles LTE when it comes out?

sorry but our phones hardware isnt compatible with LTE so techinically we cant flash something and get LTE its a hardware issue.
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.

I don't think there's one out there! But you can always keep searching tho. That's why we have Google for!! Especially if you have the AWS working already!
But I understand what ya mean, and saying. Just looking for something a lil better..

Im looking to trade my iphone for a note 2 and i want to know if the tmobile note 2 will be able to use at&ts lte since im still in contract with at&t
You would have to unlock it first and I'm pretty sure it would only work on HSPA+

No, it permanently unlocks those bands, just like carrier unlocking a phone. Once it's done its done.

Yeah, pretty sweet stuff. And like I said, I got really good data speeds. Before I did the mod I was stuck on Edge, afterwards I was pulling down like 15+ Mbps download and 3+ upload speeds.

No. The T-Mobile version, T-889, is a dual cell phone capable of supporting 42.2 Mbps data transfer. The AT&T version, i-317, is not and is limited to 21.1 Mbps. However the i-317 is capable of using more than one LTE band whereas the T-889 is limited to just one.

No, you can flash other carriers roms. The thing is you have to make damn sure what you're flashing isn't gonna brick you. From a software standpoint all Note 2's are the same, for the most part. You have to be careful not to flash another carriers modem or you'll have no signal. If that happens just flash an AT&T modem and you're good. The kernel is pretty much the same. There might be some minor differences but nothing to worry about. Just read read read. All the info is in the OP, and if it's not just ask in that thread.

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 understand about the Verizon/Sprint.
