I heard that LTE is software locked. So would it unlock that function if I flash a GSM gn2 rom on the tmo gn2?

No. That has been tried. There is supposed to be an ota in January expected to heat up the LTE chipset.

Good. Well that makes sense so perhaps they'll be in it. I really hope the OTA encompasses all features. I'm missing screen record and multi view options. Enabling LTE is fine but hopefully users can turn it on and off until their area has services working. Shouldn't we have some test results and leaks in YouTube of beta testers showing off their LTE-A network by now?

The rumor is that multi view will be rolled out at the same time. I know that the LTE retrofit had happened in my area. I have spoken with one of the Tmo certification techs and know one of the subs who is working on it.
As far as testing goes I doubt you will see videos of devices running on tmo LTE until later in the year.

Verizon doesn't run HSPA. They are not a GSM carrier.

I read it wrong.
The Verizon note 2 supports gsm bands for international (an maybe sone day domestic) roaming. Getting the radio/modem to fly however would likely be a challenge.
I am pretty sure it doesn't go the other way. There are a couple of folks who swear that the hardware is totally identical between the US carriers Note2 devices.
I can't say I agree but im not in a position to be absolutely certain.

I havent checked bsck since i posted the thread All of u have it all wrong the Verizon note 2 is pentaband it happens to support tmobiles 3g 1900 band I know im on it daily
Nothing to do with flashing radios
Right out of the box its factory sim unlocked for gsm of your choice
Tmobiles 1900 band actually is everywhere and it is 3g h+ back and forth on the vzw note 2
I just went from vzw iphone 5 to the vzw note and I get 3g 10-14xmg download speeds from both

I'm thinking the best you could do is turn off auto download of MMS there's a setting in the messaging app for that.

The question is... what if they take months just to deliver a new modem...

Tmonews just mentioned a software update for the note 2. Didn't mention any specifics though. I'd bet it will coincide with the initial markets go-live.
This is starting to play out just like the installation techs said it would when they installed the new equipment at a local tmo tower.

North Jersey also
Outside of where I work there were guys working on a tower. I asked them who were they worked for.... They told me Tmobile and they were putting in LTE ...that was in Elizabeth NJ... he said by the 13th it would be working.
Sure hope the they hurry up. I'm still on 2G here at work and it's infuriating.
I assume since they were gonna use the 2G frequencies for LTE I might finally be able to pull at least 3G here?
---------
G1(CM7)--> G2(CM9)--> Note 2 T889 stock (root + multiwindow mod)
NYC should be soon also. Towers are more than likely already wired for LTE. Of course my speeds now are pretty great. No complaints.
I am SO TEMPTED to switch back to T-Mobile for the Note 2 and their upcoming LTE network.
1900mhz & AWS 3G bands
LTE capability
save loads of $$$$
TRULY unlimited HSPA/LTE data
Fast data speeds during phone calls
Hate AT&T, but love how their network is mature. My friend's T-Mobile phone likes to occasionally switch to E.
Would the T889 Note II unlocked work with AT&T's LTE frequencies?

Just keep the I317 modem and bootloader. The firmware etc will do fine. For network compatibility you may need the AWS mod. Don't Odin anything for the T889 on the I317. Lots of people migrate from AT&T over to T-Mobile just fine.
