[IDEA] Port international firmware/ROM's to T-Mobile Note 2?

Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the T-Mobile Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?

Actually, there is a port of cm10 for the ATT Note 2 device, it was ported from the official cm10 for the N7100 device by madmack. I'm running it on the T-Mobile Note 2 and to tell you the truth, it is very stable so far even if it's coming from a nightly build. Check out this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495.
Once you go to that link, go to page 24 or 25 because you need to download 3 zip files in order for the rom to function correctly, also make sure to download the modem or radio because you need to flash that as well. Before you flash anything make sure to go to the OP for that rom and follow instructions thoroughly. If you're concerned for the S Pen functionality, don't worry, it works, I just had to download an app from the play store called Memo (which doest the same stuff as S Note.

Well if you wanna try, I don't have the time but .....
Here is some stuff to help you..
Do a Nandroid backup. or Titanium backup.
Do a full wipe,
Flash the rom you want, if given the option don't flash the modem
then flash Jedi-X Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106549
Then if you had to flash another Modem for that Rom then flash http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/tmoroms/JediX/T889V_Modem.zip if that fist your PHONE (tmO)
I may do a video on it in Youtube if i get time but the omega rom was just taking too long to download so i am not trying it tonight.
I am going to flash Jedi X

I just tried this, and while the Omega ROM flashed just fine, I had no radio signal, no data, no calls, and the phone would not recognize my SIM Card. That is after flashing the Jedi Kitchen and the radio provided in the link.
The Omega ROM looks pretty awesome, it would be nice to have it working on TMO Note II's.
Disclaimer:
I have to admit, I've flashed 4 different ROM's so far, and only two of them have completed the install. The rest have failed during the update, or caused a boot cycle. This includes the Jedi Master ROM. So it's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong.

It is actually posted in the n7100 that all roms need to be ported to us carriers and gives procedures on how to do so
Not saying the guys in the posts before mine are wrong but need to be careful when flashing n7100 roms without porting them the proper way

Hey did you ever try a complete wipe using TWRP as your recovery factory wiping then system wiping as well, I Also found depending on your SD card if you can back up your Sd cards Sometimes it is helpful to start with just the files you need to flash on the sd. Make sure that you only flash the correct radio. For me that was the latest radio I think its the second down in the list for the jedi kitchen part.
Feel free to contact me but I am very busy so I apologize ahead of time for being slow.

Can anyone answer if 4G and LTE is still working or is it 3G only? Are you able to still roam the same?

[Q] No/low signal

My gf just got the s3 for sprint. I have verizon. but she had a iphone and got good signal but now shes on the s3 she gets no signal at work. i updated the pri and profile but nothing helps. anyone know what i can do? thanks!

The Signal is dependent on many variables. Switching Carriers would be one of the those. It may that her previous Carrier had better coverage there. If she is Rooted, you could try a different Firmware / modem combo. If she is not, then the only thing you can do is Update PRL /Profile as you stated you alraedy did.

A signal booster helps tremendously! I had great coverage with my previous carrier but when I switched to Sprint I wouldn't get hardly a single bar, if any, in my condo. I installed a booster at home and problem solved!

It all depends on whether her device is Rooted or not ? If it is I would first check what the Baseband is currently. It will give an indication of what to do next. Also if her device is Rooted you may want to check out THIS thread.

its not rooted atm but will be when she lets me use it lol. thank you!

Your welcome. If it's not Rooted, and she will not let you yet. At least make sure it is on the latest OTA.

You may have 4g coming your way! My signal was completely abysmal. Now I have full 4g.

Make a Nand Backup. Flash a TW Rom. Turn on WiFi, and Update PRL / Profile. Check to see it worked. If that doesn't work. While still on a TW Rom go to the Dial Pad, and dial ##72786# .

[Q] 4.3 aosp cm 10.2 slow data speeds? newer gs3

Hey everyone,
Got a small problem, I just flashed the latest 10.2 cm nightly because I want a true aosp ROM on my "newer" gs3. Since flashing the ROM my data speeds have significantly slowed. I came from the 3.9.5 dandroid touchwiz and had fantastic 4g lte speeds for my location (about 4.5 MBS) now on the cm nightly I'm barely breaking 1 MBS and that's if I even receive my lte connection. I tinkered with the APN setting and am running on the sprint lte internet APN but isn't helping much. Is it a radio issue?
Thanks guys

Did you take note of what your baseband and what each kernel was in each rom? Is every ROM using the same baseband or is one possibly using an older version? What does the signal strength say as well? That would be under settings>about> or something like that. Current baseband is MD4.

base brand
My base brand on this ROM is l710pvbjl7 not md4, do I need to flash a new kernel to change this? Also its says LTE in signal status or 3g but only 1 bar and very weak

Do you have custom recovery?
Do you have your data backed up?
If you can do a nandroid I would and try flashing the baseband, it might make a difference. You can always nandroid back then.
EDIT: This is where you can find the MD4 firmware. It is at the end of the first post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947

Baseband is stored in places that rom flashes do not touch. They are independent of each other, and I've yet to see a dev even mess with installing a particular modem when you install their rom.

Yup, only OTA's will contain both firmware (modem, etc) and the updated software

Go to Google play store and download network info II. There will be a tab with your signal dBm. What does that say? You might be having the same issue from my other thread.

I always appeared to have slower download speeds via Speedtest.net. Try Sensorly (they just had a large update) and their speedtest servers are awesome. I pulled 30+ in a spot I usually get 23-25. You may find it's the way Ookla's speedtest app is run in AOSP.

Modem modem ...?

Do I need to odin any new modem for KitKat (as I did with MK2 modem for 4.3) or I'll get it when I'll flash any KK ?

Roms don't include modems. You will have to Odin the radio. That's user choice on if you want to upgrade

For me, updating my modem has increased both signal reception and data speeds. You can always go back if you see a drop in performance.

Confusion about modems + custom recoveries
Hi,
I have an i337m from Puerta Rico that I'm running on USA T-mobile. The radios are the initial release and I'd like to update them. I'm running Wicked V10. I've successfully (I think) done the AWS hack to get the GSM HSPA+ bands.
a) Do/Can I flash T-mobile S4 radios?
b) A little confused about flashing radios on a custom recovery. I tried flashing the MK2 radios but it obviously checked the boot loader when it failed.
Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't flash a modem made for a different device, even if they are similar.
It might be that it i sokay, but you need to research the hell out of it first and make absolute sure.

rwilco.com has some solid links for the tar.md5s. I bought a prepaid sch-i545 (verizon s4) and it had its own weird rom for it, even said a different build # in the about phone section. I flashed the stock i545 rom in odin and its now a regular vzw S4. The same will likely hold true for the L710

are you able to get LTE with the aicp ROM also on the wicked s5 2.2 when it says 4g does that mean LTE? Also I'm trying to get one of the roms working on the sprint mnvo Iwireless.

Yes, the 4g icon does mean LTE. I'm running a ROM that my friend compiled and where I live there isn't sprint LTE and I'm using a at&t sim in my phone

Is there a APN fix or something to get LTE working for aicp? So far its my favorite other than only 3g data working. Also if I switch to LTE it says in the sim status that voice and data are lte. Just no mobile connection.

Thanks for the awesome help. I think I'm sticking with wicked s5 2.2 for now. It looks like it just seems to work and has the added bonus of being able to over clock and underclock a little. Ran into a few annoying bugs in aicp that's known but not fixed yet. (No 4g and forced into speaker phone)

I'm on nd8 and I don't have any issues flashing any rom or weirdness with features not working. My daily driver is a g900p and the same issue with the most recent baseband exists there too. I'll drag my L710 out and see what's what on it. Gonna be a lil bit tho. Household stuff to attend to
oops, im on MK3!! Ive run tons of ROMs on this baseband and havent ever had an issue. I dont have sprint LTE where i live, but ive been to places where there is sprint LTE and this baseband/modem/radio version has worked perfectly. The newest baseband isnt always best

there are many posts saying exactly what you said. Just they said nj2 was working fine and ah1 baseband doesn't work well. Also I'm not sure if you can downgrade firmware after mk something.
