NonTouchWiz Rom + LTE - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just curious for those of you guys on custom roms (AOSP for ex) that is not TouchWiz, is there something that needs to be done when T-Mobile activates LTE in a week or 2? I know there was some firmware patches going around to enable LTE, but that's for the stock rom. I don't have a Note2 yet, but I'm thinking about getting it soon since the Galaxy S3 doesn't have LTE Radio. I'm thinking of using AOSP rom ASAP after I get it, but one of the reasons to swap to a Note 2 is LTE radio.
Does something need to be flashed, like a new modem or will the LTE just work? Or do we have to wait for the AOSP roms to have LTE implemented?

Thanks can I download straight through my phone? Or do I need to connect to my computer? Also Each time I change rom I need to update the modem correct? Thanks for your help sir

Radio is flashed just like a kernel. Go in CWM or TWRP, wipe cache / dalvik, and flash. My original concern was that some roms may not have LTE options embeded, thus got me wondering. Though playing around with LiquidSmooth on my GS3, I just realized they do have LTE settings in the Mobile Network Settings > Preferred Network Mode.

Thanks for that info I didn't mean to still your thread. I just learned to put new roms on my phone. I have never done a modem or kernerl by itself. So i was just trying to learn. I will definitely look for more info on how to do that
Thanks

aokp with rogers s3

I have read the FAQ for the aokp jellybean release, stated it was designed for the att version but I also found a topic about a member who had trouble with his apn settings on his Rogers phone that was on that rom. So my question is can I flash my s3 with that from?

Which carrier do you have?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
FWIW, I am on Telus and have flashed many iterations of this ROM and have had no problems with APNs / LTE / HSPA+.
In fact for the last week or so an LTE option has been available for Canadian users which makes this ROM the best IMO.
EDIT: you could always make a nandroid backup of you current setup and try AOKP. If something messes up just reload your nandroid.

Hello Naruto! I am a happy AOKP-Rogers user, no problem whatsoever and I have been updating to the latest rom pretty much every day. Just 2 recommendations, get Titanium Back up Pro and ROM Manager. They will make your life sooo easy
3G works well for me
Cheers from Canada!

3G working perfectly for me.. try reflashing or do all your cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes... it should work.

[Q] 4G Service on 4.2 ROMs

I am having trouble understanding my problem. I have been on a 4.1.1 ROM for the longest time and I decided to take the plunge to 4.2.
I have attempted to install 2 seperate ROMs but I can only get 3G service on my phone. I did install the ROMs correctly (wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, let phone settle, etc). I also attempted to change my network modes. Finally, I tried, on the recommendation of someone from a ROM thread, to try and download a big file that would "kick-start" my 4G service but to no avail. This has happened across 2 ROMs; this is why I am asking for some insight here instead of the ROM threads directly.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Useful Info:
Stock Kernel
4.1.1 ROM I was using here - Full 4G coverage
First 4.2 ROM I tried here
Second 4.2 ROM I tried here
Final Note: my highest internet speed tests appear to be 7.56 mb/s down & 1.55 mb/s up on the 4.2 ROM.

Ya know, I actually searched through the forums for a few hours this morning, and I was hesitant to post something because I was almost positive that someone like you would jump all over me for not searching.
Also, where might one find the information that says going from a 4.1.1 ROM to a 4.2.1 ROM will require a new modem to get 4G service? Please, show me the way because apparently I don't know how to search or read.
Let's not start a pissing match. The answer is correct.
How were you supposed to know you needed a new modem? There is no way to know, but many people have had this issue recently. So, searching for the right thing, I guess
Your second rom you tried has a large Q&A Thread I made http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36890819#post36890819 that itsmikeramsay put in the OP and in my thread I cover that it is something known and what to do.
and in the last few pages of the Illusion thread it is discussed lol.
So you know, your coverage is no different then before, it just doesn't show a "4g" or "H+"
searched "no 4g" in the illusion thread and this is what I got... a whole bunch of posts lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=132106205

Fair enough! You're completely right; I did not search correctly. My apologies
I did, however, use the recommended Team Sonic Modem Flasher, flashed the modem that said "(latest)" at the end of it, and I still have no 4G icon. Do I need to flash the ABSOLUTE most recent modem listed here as the absolute latest?

No worries, and I have never had the issue so... I am going off but what I've read people report. They say they flashed the latest radio/modem and it was fixed. Also, the only time H+ will show is when data is being transferred (used) during Idle it shows 3g.

Thanks! That was what I was looking for. I figured out that you have to flash the LATEST modem on the page; you cannot use the Team Sonic flasher because it does not have the latest modems loaded into it.
DocHoliday made the Sonic flasher obsolete. That big sticky thread has everything.

[Q] Can not save APN and blank after rom flash

I've been working on this and searching for two weeks now and have found nothing that matches our exact problem or fixes it. I've been rooting/flashing phones for years so I'm not new to this but this is definitely a new problem for me... I'm helping a friend flash Cyanogenmod on his Note 2 and have been working on it solid for the past 2 days to no avail.
Phone: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889)
Problem: No APN in Cyanogenmod, unable to create one/save, unable to restore APN from backed up APN from stock rom.
Thoughts: I believe that the problem lies in the fact that I can't save the APN which may have to do with the way the newer rom deals with APN's or with the way that it interfaces with the SIM card.
Currently I have the phone flashed with CWM touch and I have backup's of the stock rom which is rooted and also of Cyanogenmod 10.1 for N7100. This is the only ROM i've been able to get flashed on the phone and it seems that this is what rom manager tells you to install so I think this is the right one. I've also seen other DIY's that tell you to use the t0lte rom but that one fails the device check before flashing.
Stock Rom: When we have the stock rom flashed, everything works fine. There is a valid APN and we have no problems.
CyanogenMod: When we flash back to this rom or flash from an image, there is no cell signal. When you check the APN's there are none. We are unable to manually create an APN. If you enter the info, press menu button and click save, it does not error but does not save the APN. We are also unable to restore the APN with APN Backup & Restore. I've set the restore app as a system app and ignore the ICS warning as you are supposed to do and it appears to be writing the APN data but afterwards when you check, there is still no APN.
The only thing I have left is to go figure out how to check the logs after I try to save the APN. I'm not sure how to do this yet so I'm going to go learn how to do that now but I'm hoping someone might have some insight into this issue before I have to go down that road...
If I've left out any useful information please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help!!! I've used this community forum for many years but this will be one of my first posts... I'm truly stumped.
Also, this may be important. I started reading into modems and such thinking that the modem may not be compatible or may not be able to interface with the sim card and I found that when you check the baseband version in Cyanogenmod, it says Unknown.
Maybe this is becuase it is an i7100 ROM on a T889 device?
When you flash a Cyanogenmod ROM, does it flash the appropriate modem with it? Also, when you back up your rom in CWM, does that backup/restore the modem?

ROMS do not include modems. I think you should be flashing the 7105 not 7100

Ok, good to know. And it always seems to happen this way but I think I've solved the problem. Regarding 7105 vs 7100 however, not sure I've seen the 7105, nor have I seen any diy's that instruct you to use that rom on the tmobile T889. Is that a variant or something?
I was reading more on the wiki for cyanogenmod and saw someone post the same problem where the t0lte rom wouldn't flash through CWM. They suggested flashing TWRP, which I did and it worked perfectly. We have cell signal and everything!
So if you're having the same issue flashing the t0lte Cyanogenmod 10.1 to a Galaxy Note 2 (T-Mobile) try flashing through TWRP recover instead of CWM.

The only ROMS that will work on the TMO variant are ROMS based on the T889 source or the 7105 source. The CM is based on the 7105 source.

Very good to know. Thanks for the quick replies and help!!
We realized 4g wasn't working and attempted flashing a newer modem which I'm sure helped but didn't fix the 4g problem. Flashing a newer nightly did however resolve the issue... Hopefully that info will help someone else...
I recently had the same problem in my recently owned Galaxy S2 Skyrocket after trying the first Rom which is Cyanogenmod 10.2 Stable with UCMC1 radio.
I figured that the problem had something to do with my provider, so i sorted it just putting it in airplane mode before adding the APN. Theres one little catch, you cant access the Mobile Settings button while you are in airplane more, so you just open the APN list window before putting it in airplane mode via the quick launch menu,, then the apn will save with no problem.
I hope this is useful, ch33rz!:silly:

Rom to flash

Hey all, I am runnig a rooted stock LS980, with TWRP, I just got an OTA push tonight, and I am not going to flash it, but I hate the notification so I guess I am going to flash a custom rom instead of waiting until I get home. Which rom do you all recommend?
I am thinking pac-rom, but the most recent nightly was 7/10, but there is a build called pac_ls980-dev-20140730 can anyone tell me what this is?
Also I cannot find the Gapps to pacrom?
Do you recommend cyanogenmod or AOKP and why? which version should I flash and Gapps???
Thank you!

You dont have to swap roms to lose the notification. Just swipe down and click and hold the notification, open the app info and select the notification check mark off.
Personally I enjoyed the Liquid Smooth rom, it was very fast. And any standard gapps file for your version of android should be fine. Just remember to flash the ZV8 radio if you are going with an AOSP rom. Or flash dr87s kernel. And not to sure what that build of pac-rom is. And I enjoyed Cyanogen for a bit, they are always working on new things, you know that there's going to be a fix to any problems that arise. And I love the blue look. But everyone uses roms for different things, I mainly use stock, rooted with xposed framework.
Why not try them all?

I am pretty comfy with cyanogenmod, I have used it since I got my HP touchpad two years ago, however I prefer pac-rom.
can I get the ZV8 radio link please? what is the dr87s kernel? good or bad? I am running kernel 3.4., but i believe to be a JDI kerel, and not LGD because I flashed the white lines fix.
CM11 is a great ROM, but I will warn you, if you're in an area with Spark (B26 of B41), ZV8 radio wont connect to those automatically. If you're wanting to keep Spark enabled, I'd recommend Slim or Mahdi until CM11 updates their kernel to support the newer modems.
Also, newest Mahdi/Slim will auto detect your display during installation so you will not need to worry about having a JDI panel.
EDIT: Here's Mahdi's Thread and here's SlimKat's Thread. They both use Dr87's kernel which is boss.
What Ascertion said is spot on, but here is the link for a zv8 radio. It also contains a lot of useful information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627765

So, If I were to flash Slimrom, and the Gapps, do I have to flash the dr87 kernel as well as the ZV8 radio?
in the install directions it says to wipe everything, however i was told not to wipe system before when flashing a rom... should I or shouldn't I?

[Q] Does the CM12.1 d2tmo work with an S3 d2lte?

I see that the nightly branch for the d2lte has not been updated for a while.
Can I use the d2tmo builds for my d2lte?
I'm guessing I will lose LTE capabilities. What about 4G?
Anything else I would lose? If it even works for my phone that is.
Thanks!
Yes, it will work, I am using it just fine on my D2lte.. for the speeds I am get H+ data.. is that close to 4G?

I think H+ is slower than 4G but faster than 3G. Not that it matters in my case though since 4G pretty much sucks in my country.
So what should I do? I have the latest TWRP and latest nightly build for the d2lte.
Just download the latest 12.1 nightly for the d2tmo and flash?

Just to be safe make sure you are on a 4.4 ROM before you do. and yea just the usual flash method.. remember to wipe it clean.

I have to bump this thread since the d2tmo 5.1 builds are not working for me.
I was able to flash just fine but modem is not working. I cannot connect to my provider via normal cellphone nor data.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I could flash my d2lte with a d2tmo CM12.1 build and then flash it with the latest modem for my phone: TMOGalaxyS3LTE_UVUBNC1_Modem.zip
Would this work or would I brick it somehow?

What modem is currently on your phone? You may need to update your d2lte bootloader and modem to the latest kit kat to resolve the issue.

I reverted back to the last available CM 11 nightly for d2lte and newest modem for the LTE which is TMOGalaxyS3LTE_UVUBNC1_Modem and everything is working again.
I'm currently on TWRP 2.8.7.0.
So if I understood correctly, it would be safe for me to flash my d2lte with the cm 12.1 d2tmo builds and then flash it with the s3 lte modem?
Thanks
The latest d2tmo rom may not work unless you flash the d2tmo rom followed by a d2lte kernel.
I do recommend cross flashing the modems between the two phones.
Flashing cm12.1 builds does not change the phone's modem or bootloader.
