I believe you can get away flashing an ATT rom and radio because I also have a t889 and even though its not unlocked, I can still run an ATT rom (specifically the cm10 port for the att variant) on it with no problem, of course, I did flash the tmo radio and I believe that you don't need to adjust your APN settings cuz I didn't have to. You might wanna have those settings handy just in case...
I do have them handy the tmo radio i dont however if i do flash a at&t rom i just wanna be safe with the modem and well radio so i can have all my call setting safe

I have an ATT I747, which is unlocked.
I don't use LTE, HSPDA, 3G, etc.. only Wifi as I don't have data.
I'm looking for the stock firmware that has the least bloatware and I'm from Canada so I'd like to use a Telus or Rogers stock rom.
Just wondering if its possible to flash a stock telus or rogers from onto my I747.
Also, I might be switching to wind mobile, so I'm wondering if it'd be possible to flash to a T999m rom?
From my searches, it seems like it is possible, but something about bootloader or modeom, might not work?
Can anyone enlighten me on what the bootloader is?
Thanks
You can flash any rogers art telus bell ROM you want. As for wind or mobilixity or tmo no. Diff hardware.

i747 and the i747m same hardware they can flash the same roms.. although i flashed a SGH-t999 rom flawlessly i just had to manually change the apn settings to suit me.. Not sure why some people think that its a problem . keep looking for answers i guess!

It seems like the difference in hardware is related to data and LTE and HSPDA.
If i never use mobile data, and wifi only, could I flash a Wind or Mobilicity firmware and use Wind or mobilicity or would that not be possible?
Thank you

sorry for all the questions. just covering all the bases

Latest Odin 3, the one you mentioned: Odin3_v3.07

Yest there is. Follow these instructions exactly and you will have Spanish.
I recommend Root Explorer. Make sure to change to Mount R/O
1: Download a file manager with root privileges. (ie- Root Explorer)
2: Navigate to /system/csc/ language.xml. and open this file in a text editor.
3: The 7th and 11th line down are the languages currently displayed and looks like this (may vary by region)......en_CA;fr_CA;ko_KR;........ all you need to do is add es_US to the end of this line behind the last ; and it will activate Spanish (United States) in the settings/language and input tab.
4: Save changes and exit. open the file again to be sure the changes stuck and finally
5: Go into phone Settings then Language and inputs and select Espanol.
These codes are language_REGION. Just add es_US directly behind the ; and you will be good to go. Should look like this:......en_US;en_CA;ko_KR;es_US
See screenshot and you will see it works.
Second screenshot you will notice the line to change. Notice both lines have es_US at the end.

or try flashing a tmobile radio. as far as ive read u can pretty much flash any rom for the note 2, doesnt matter what carrier its for. the difference would be with the radio thats included with the rom. in other words... an At&t rom will work on the tmobile note 2 but you will have to flash a tmobile radio to get service. same for other carrier roms.... no harm done
How doez different radios cause problems

Our Note II currently utilizes HSPA+ instead of LTE which is just different types of wireless technology used by other carriers. When you flashed the incorrect rom, it probably also included the modem for that particular carrier (not tmobile) which caused the no signal. Try flashing a tmobile radio which will be through your selected recovery (TWR or CWM). Below is a link where you can download the tmobile radio.

I tried flashing the Modem and it did the trick !! ... but its good to know that other carrier roms may work on the note as well (of course, try at your own risk) .. Probably some more trouble I can get myself into after work

If you flash, use this guide,
T-Mobile. Just flash ROM
AT&T w/radio. Flash T-Mobile radio
AT&T w/o radio. Just flash ROM
Sprint. Flash radio and kernel, put apn management tool in /system/app
I assume Verizon would be like Sprint but I have not personally tried.

Yea I don't know why but devs seem to be including modems in their roms more and more. It used to be standard practice to not include the modem. There is no real reason to do so. But that's what has been going on so my advice is to check the ROM thread to see if it includes a ROM. They usually say so because like I said it is not standard procedure to do so. So they usually let people know. But if you do flash a non tmo ROM make sure you have a flash able modem just in case.
Hey everyone need a question answered. I just purchased a used sgh i317 and am planning on unlocking it to use on the tmobile network. I have read and understand the process of using the aws hack to enable att modem to use the tmobile 3g/4g network. I was just wondering if it was possible to flash the factory image ( SGH-T889_TMB_T889UVBMD1_teshxx.zip) for the tmobile note II with odin from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 . If I did this would this completely put my sgh-i317 as basically a tmobile note 2 with full data and wifi calling.
I have read in the forums that I should always keep the att modem. Is this also true of the kernal too. Or is my plan to completely turn the sgh-i317 in to an t889 possible as stated above. I really appreciate any imput you would have. thanks!
Most people flash tmobile image so they can use the native wifi calling app.
If that's not a concern for you, I would put in the tmobile sim, unlock it, then add the tmobile 4G APN and reboot. If you live in a refarmed region, you will get 4G data with no further steps.

Does the TMobile stock image include the Tmobile modem? Or our the modems usually seperate? I really appreciate you helping me out.

Can't mix modem's. You end up with a bootloop. But most of the time the modem's are separate from most Rom's. But ya might want to do a double check just to make sure. So you don't run into any problems..

I appreciate it! I think I got it. The stock factory image would include the radio (I guess most custom roms do not), kernal, and OS. Since the sgh-i317 is so similar to the t889, I could technically flash the tmobile factory ROM onto the sgh-i317. I would just have to flash the att modem in place of the tmobile modem. Think I am just Going to flash a custom rom with wifi calling and just flash the newest att modem too. After I unlock the AWS and set my APN to Tmobile, I should be good to go! I appreciate your help guys! If I missed something here, please let me know.
Sounds about right. You're essentially good to go with any ROM or kernel from the I317, T889 and N7105. You should be fine as long as you don't mix modems (check the backgrounder in my T889V LTE guide if you feel like it) or flash N7100 stuff (see multiple reports of messed up IMEIs and such).
I recently flashed my 1st Rom (CM10) on my samsung galaxy s3 t999) and thought everything was fine till I tried switching from At&t back to t mobile and noticed the sim wouldn't work so tried 2 other companies straight talk and simple mobile and they didn't work either but they work in my unlocked iphone.So what could be the problem I tried different roms and even checked my imei and its clean.
Anybody?
Not sure what it could be....It is unlocked because you were using it on AT&T right?
Best I can say is to Odin flash the stock firmware and try it that way. Then if needed, try going through the steps laid out in the unlock thread in the General section. If it still isn't connecting, call T-Mobile as it sounds more like an account issue than a phone one....
Did you change APNs? That might cause it.

This. Or if the Rom came from the AT&T forum it may have come with the wrong ones too. Either change to a T-Mobile apn or flash one of the roms from here if this is the case.
Thanks DJ, didn't think about that!

Doc he tried the Sim in an Iphone. So its prolly isn't Account but APN probably instead.
I'm asking this question because the current build of CM13 for the N910V is underdeveloped at this time and I was wondering if I could flash CM13 for the SM-N910T or the sprint variant without any modem issues, etc.
Do a nandroid using TWRP and try it out. I've been testing different ROMs myself. I don't care for ASOP. Kind of ugly and useless without stock Samsung Apps. But I have tested MIUI, and a few other stock based ROMs found in the international Note 4 forum.

Just backup your EFS, Modem, and Boot partitions for sure. If you get a successful flash, immediately use TWRP to restore those partitions and you should be golden. Might also have to edit build.prop to avoid Play Store issues.

Hi there,
I find myself in an unusual(i think?) situation in that I have the verizon Note 4 but i live in Ireland. Now while the phone is sim free for the most part, Data does not work here without a verizon plan obviously and it would have to be a roaming plan so I would'nt even think about purchasing one. So i've been waiting for an opportunity to root my N4, now that there is a method I'm just wondering if I would be able to flash a stock Irl/Uk rom to my phone, or another rom that would allow me to have data and spen features. I would like to find out if this is possible before I attempt to root. My phone is on 5.1.1 and is the BPA1 version. Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Pending you could add the correct APN for whatever carrier you will be using, you should be fine. I purchased 2 of these devices nearly 2 years ago. I'm on Verizon prepaid and my wife has been on T-Mobile every since.
Funny thing is I didn't have to set her APN manually. The phone did it automatically the day I put her SIM in. Now she doesn't get the full potential of LTE speeds and MMS is a bit kwonky, but it works.

Thanks for the reply,
do you mean add the APN settings after i've rooted? I'm intending to flash the vodafone 5.1.1 IRL Stock Rom if it's possible, I already tried adding the APN settings and it does not work(unrooted) due to bootloader being locked and like i said i would need a verizon roaming plan to be able to use data. So if I get root and flash IRL vodafone stock rom, will I still have an unlocked phone or not? I'm not an expert in this but I would assume the phone would then be locked on the vodafone network yes? Or would it remain unlocked to any network? So just to be clear, what i would like to know is 1. will I be able to flash a stock rom from Vodafone Ireland once i'm rooted 2. If I do manage to flash Vodafone stock rom, will the phone still be unlocked or locked to vodafone? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Unlocked sim and unlocked bootloader are different. The phone is sim unlocked from the factory and can never be sim relocked (for lack of a better term). So to answer #2, the phone will not be locked to vodafone.
For #1, I seriously doubt you could odin a stock vodafone rom to this phone and even if you could I'd highly discourage it. If the file contained a bootloader, it would lock the bootloader and could potentially brick the phone. I would recommend unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP recovery, rooting (or flash a rooted rom), and add your APN's. If the stock rom is blocking you from adding APN's there are hacks to get around it once rooted. I used to use an app called APN Manager that you install as a /system app that would let you change APN's as you wish.

Any Touchwiz rom should support the S Pen. I believe the Paul (5.1.1) rom does. There's a Note 5 rom that should support it. Just stay away from CM13 or any AOSP roms and you should have S Pen support.

Not such an unusual situation hello from Ireland also a proud verizon note 4 user myself. Meteor and Emobile for me. Data works fine. Let me know if ya need any help.
I am also curious about this situation. I got an awesome deal for my 910v; brand new unopened for 280usd. Only problem is T-mobile sim doesn't get service, and it seems people have lost T-mobile service after upgrading to 5.0. So now I'm stuck with my aging S3 and this brilliant phone just sits there. Fingers crossed that johnboy sees some good results T.T
