Ok, so...
NOT new to XDA, just back after a long iPhone-related absence...
I got a T-Mo (SGH-T889) Note 2, but I'm on at&t. I'm not new to flashing roms and such, but I do get a little confused when it comes to which roms are compatible with this device, and, do I need to flash an at&t modem to my device after flashing a rom? Are the kernels device-specific, meaning I don't want to flash an i1317 or 7105 kernel to my T889?
I appreciate all the help I've gotten from this community in the past, and I'm glad I'm back. If somebody could give me a little direction on the finer points, I'd be grateful.
Thanks!
Use the search feature... ive seen a couple fourms talking about what all roms are compatible with the note 2

I think i've bricked my phone. All I have left is TWRP and no stock rom. So I was wondering if somebody could point me in the direction of a rom for the SCH-R950 version of the galaxy note 2 or the stock rom and how to go about flashing back. Much thanks.
bump, please help. I need my phone lol.
Let me guess you used a rom from here that was meant for the n7100?

The people over at teamuscellular.com have the SCH-R950 covered fairly well, in the absence of an XDA forum. They have the stock ODIN file and several ROMs available.
I just registered and can't post a link, but you should be able to find the right place pretty easily from their front page.
Peace!

I advice to use a stock r950 ROM, its very stable and battery life is amazing
I just bought a new N7105 Note 2 from eBay. It's supposed to be here Tues. I see that some of the Note 2's are thrown together here on this forum. I've been searching & reading. Do the 7100 & 7105 use the same ROM's? I sure as Hell don't want to start bricking this one.
Just a simple question was all I asked.
Pretty sure you bought the International version

You bought the international version of the NOTE 2 meaning it is most likely SIM UNLOCKED.
I believe 7100 and 7105 should have different roms because 7100 is only 4G HSPA+ and 7105 is 4G LTE. I think they will have different drivers for the ROMS.
I am not an expert but Im sure different hardware will need different drivers leading to different roms. So I would download and install the ones for your phone.
I hope it helps, and good luck!
This phone is BEAST!!
Thanks. I plan on using the all-in-one 3.0 tool on it when it gets here.
If you need a quick list of 7100 and 7105 roms when you get the phone, this list should help you a little.
I rooted my phone and found very few roms were available for my phone (UK Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105) I ventured over to AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Android Development forum to find more custom roms. After asking around found couple so far which I have tested myself as follows:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986893 This is my favourite and developer is very helpful, highly recommended.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114833 Works with TWRP and not CWM. Tried and tested by myself.

I'm too nervous to try AT&T roms on the HK phone. I bricked my Note 1 twice using wrong roms.
Not sure how reliable this is, but is says here that AT&T AND TMobile roms will work.
Anyone ready to try? From what I have read, the hardware is the same, it's just a couple things like the modem and kernel you have to remember about.
In fact, there is a ROM in the TMobile section that I am looking at right now, and the Dev says his ROM will work.... Read it here
I now use the RootBox ROM... Man its GREAT! haha i love the Tablet UI and customisation thats avaliable

What is with the HK Note II being treated differently?
I keep reading people saying that you can't flash the stock firmware to the Note II LTE if it's a HK one. Why not? it's still a GT-N7105.
What's different about it??
(I have one and want to know!)
i don't know, but my HK version is so picky about custom Roms. The only one that I can find so far that will run on it so far is Paranoid JB.
What happens when you try other ROMs?
And are you sure it's a N7105?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
The phone flickers on the Samsung screen and then blacks and never finishes loading. I either have to reload stock or the Paranoid to use it.
But you have another N7105 that works fine?
Can you provide some more details, at the moment it's just another anecdotal "Doesn't work"

No. I just have one.
Good day to all,
I am just checking to see the full flexibility of the S4 in terms of development.
I'm looking over the specs on all of the different variations that are out for the S4.. a little more then called for.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
From my point of view.. the GT-I9505, SGH-I337, SGH-M919 are basicly the same.. only huge difference is the i9505 LTE bands compared to the M919 and I337.
I know if i flash the wrong kernel or mod, it can, and most likely would brick the phone..
i'm not smoking crack here.. but is it possible.. is there a way to use a I337 mod/kernel and flash over .. i guess the radio for the m919?
Can you? Maybe. Should you? No. Would it involve flashing the modem in any case? No.
People, come on now.it's never smart to run things from other phones.unless you want a fancy paper weight

I run at&t rom's and kernels on my S3 all the time. In fact I run nothing but AT&T versions of slim and kt kernel.
I plan on doing the same thing with my S4 once they get their b/l unlocked.

Exactly!
But, i came from the i9300... and it was a no no to run a i9305 on the phone with the hardware issues... but.. are the AT&T and T-Mobile phones the same?? hardware anyways??
T-Mobile and AT&T variants were next to identical on the GS3, i havent looked at specs for the S4, but i would definately NOT flash international S4 stuff to your US S4, no no no no no dont even think about it!

You probably cab but it will probably have bugs. For instance. On my s3 I can flash kernels from any other carriers and if I do sprint I get rotarion issues.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You can flash the ROMs for other models no problem as long as you flash a kernel made specifically for your device. I haven't experimented with kernels for other devices, but I can say that I have made the mistake of flashing both AT&T ROMs and i9505 ROMs and forgot to flash a TMO kernel and all I got was a nice failure to boot after the initial Galaxy S4 splash screen. Can't speak for the other carriers, but I just make it a point to flash KT kernel for the TMO device with each ROM I flash given the problems I've encountered with AT&T and i9505's models.
A brick waiting to happen. You should never flash a kernel that is NOT made for your device. Oh well going to be a good thread to watch a few days. Makes for some good reading, and good lessons for others.
Carry on!
Your welcome
As @lordcheeto03 stated I flashed i9505 rom on ATT and forgot to flash kernel and booted, it displayed a notice on boot that Non-AT&T software is detected, and didn't boot...
I also tested to flash i9505 Modem on i337 and it/ i.e. odin displayed notice, of a failure due to knox [sic] rejecting it...
I booted into recovery manually flashed i337 kernel and it successfully booted without any brick.

So as I surf the other galaxy note 2 forums im starting to realize there is hardly NO dev support for our devices.. I mean other galaxy note 2 forums have tons of new development and custom ROMs and what not, but out TMobile forum is pretty much crickets.. lol.. were are all the devs at...?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm guessing it's because the T-Mobile variant isn't as popular, to put it in laymen terms, it's a niche device, even though Samsung has sold millions of T889s. You can always head over to the AT&T or the international forum, flash the rom and flash the t-mobile radio. I haven't personally tried it but it technically should work. Anyone who has the skynote rom on their t889 mind sharing how to do that?
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I mean you could use some att roms but you have to be careful and flash kernels and even still you'll have data drops and who wants that. I'm just a little pissed at Sammy for the lack of support for our note 2,with so many phones being released you would think they would have worked on 4.3 when it was released from Google and gave it to carriers and told them to not release it until after the note 3 was released, but that's just me I guess. I believe I'll go back to nexus after this phone hopefully by then they will have 64gb and 5000mah battery's inside. :-/ oh and it's not that simple to just flash our modem, there's efs and other technical stuff.
If you flash intl roms make sure they are for the N7105 and not the N7100.

As long as the frequencies from the two carriers are the same, it'll work. (I don't recommend it though, bricked my phone, but thank nandroid backup)
Smack that thanks button if I helped.

I've had sky note on my t889. You flash the rom then reboot. Reboot to recovery and flash devil kernel. Then boot back up and enter tmo apn. Works good if your in an lte area but data drops on 4g.

I'm not a dev, but I've been building from source for the tmobile gs2 and now have the note2. I should be able to build pretty much any stable rom for this device that is built for any other note2. I'm running slimkat right now.
