Here is just a collection of CWM flashable modems i have tested to be working on the SGS-T989(D)
Get all radios HERE
Mirror'd in this post in the General Section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639771
NOTE: these are the radios i have TESTED this is why i don't have every radio available up here because i have not tested them to be working to some degree. Others are welcome to post and contribute what they have tested working as well.
Thanks you so much for this.You have done so much for this community and I thank you.
From a glaxay better than yours.
Thank you we needed one of these. Hopefully we are able to get the rest up soon

In any way the SGH-T989 Series radio is better than stock ?
Or is it the actual stock radio
Awesome! Thank you so much for this Mr.X.
Tmo VK1 is the latest one to enable wifi calling right?
Very nice thank you, this should really be in the Dev section.... To important to be in General imo.
Also might i suggest MD5 check sums in the OP.

I made an oops and packed the tmo radio in the telus zip, so im updating that one and ill do md5's
are all of them compatable with US tmobile, with the exception of the EU/asian one

I'm not sure fi wifi calling requires the tmobile modem, so it's really up to you guys to test and report in. What i can tell you is these modems will not damage your device.
they all work for me on telus (with exception of the DoMoCo one, since have no networks it supports here) However using the tmobile and rogers radio cut my HSPA+ speeds down to HSPA as the radios appear not to support dual channeling of HSPA on 850/1900 like telus needs.
for some reason it wont install on CM7 i have tried CWM and ROMmanager, no go on either, its the Tmobile vk1 radio

means if i flash the Telus modem will support HSPA+ 850 ( the one i need in peru) but i get back to USA i have to flash again to the tmo stock modem to get 4G speeds on tmo network?
sorry for the noobish question but what excatly do these radios do? If i have the telus version of the phone, but using it on Wind Mobile, how will flashing this help me?

SWEET, will test and report back.

Diffrent radios might increase reception in some areas, increase download speeds and might improve battery life or they can do the opposite and be detrimental to recepition, download speeds and battery.... Users results may vary. Flash and test for your self.

How sure are we that flashing modems through cwm is 100% safe? I know on a lot of other phones that while it is possible, its said that it is not safe. Correct me if I'm wrong but I just wanna be sure.

on the vibrant all the modems where came flashable and I've done dozens of time with all the modems they had and never had a problem. I was actually wondering why on this phone it wasn't being done. I would say from my experience it is safe

OK. I trust Mr. X but just wanted to hear from other people that have done it. I've personally never flashed a radio through cwm. I usually run what I have or fastboot it if that's an option.

Generally fastboot is the safest method because of the bit check before flashing but I run the G2/ HTC Vision radio thread and as long as the MD5 matches it pretty safe, out of over 10000 downloads of my G2 flashable radio zips I think ive only seen 1 brick but even that one couldnt 100 percent be connected to the flashable zip so in general I thinks its very safe.

if i try it and it doesnt work out for me, how can i remove the radio file that i flashed?
I know that we can't use the international version roms on our phones but I saw that on the att side they already have two roms. I'm curious if they would work on ours. Since I'm still very much a noob I don't have the knowledge to get my phone working if it didn't work, but maybe one of the more experienced ones here might be able to. So anyone tried yet?

I asked this question in the international community a few weeks ago and now it looks like it's been answered. Thanks to cashyftw flashing a rom.

AT&T ROM's work on our device that's great.
They are the same phone so everything should be fine UNLESS a radio is involved.
This is good news --- that means rom development should be STELLAR. Has anyone tried on a SPRINT S3 yet?

Files will need to be changed between Sprint and Verizon versions to account for different radio technologies.
Kernels should work across all of them though. It should be a situation similar to the Nexus.
Hey guys, I'd love to ask this in the kyanROM thread, but I don't have permissions yet.
My phone is telling me that I have a I747M even though I am on AT&T and in the US. I remember seeing it as an I747 when I got it. Did the kyanROM flash change the way my phone sees what model it is? If so, is there any way to change it back? If there is a way, I could check the hardware to see what I have. I am currently seeing it as an I747 in the about sections of settings.
If it wasn't kyanrom that changed it, what could have?
Thanks!

So do I treat it just like an I747 without the M? Like all the modems and kernel and all that other good stuff?
Is there any way at all to change it? I went to change it in the build.prop, but after changing, the phone wouldn't start. I used a nandroid backup, and everything was fine, but still showing I747M.
Thanks! I will thank the post tomorrow, I am limited to 8 a day, and have given that out today I just joined so am thankful for many more than 8 posts now lol.
Just use it as usual. It doesn't affect your radio so it won't mess your connection. If you are on att it may cause trouble for some att special useless thing but I cant be more specific since imbwith rogers

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 Sprint 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?
Clarification: Just so everyone is on the same page here, I want to stress that, while this process is successful on both the AT&T and T-Mobile GN2's, this is VERY dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I would NOT recommend anyone try this unless you are confident in your abilities to recover from a brick situation.
Again, if you are even REMOTELY interested in trying this out on your own, don't even think about bothering with it unless you absolutely know what you are doing! I take no responsibility for any bricks that come from someone trying this without the proper experience and know-how. You have been warned!
it works on the ATT variant because it and the international are both GSM. We are CDMA, i doubt that it would be as easy. Using verizon ROMs might be a different story though.

See, I'm not so sure. At least this time around, the radio's are pretty much the only major differences, and those can be governed by the kernel and modem.bin, so if anyone's willing to try it, it could be well worth a try!

This thread is dangerous, dont normally say that, but PLEASE dont encourage (or even put the idea in peoples heads) that they should flash something for a different phone. What you described is NOT porting. Your asking for a brick flashing different firmware. And why dont YOU try it then get back to us....on your computer, cus your phone will be a paperweight

Partitions aren't completely. They are almost identical. You just need to flash the OS properly.

Not recommended for sure. At least for beginners. You can flash their stock ROMs is you flash properly flash them and make sure there's no radio and that you use your stock kernel.

There has to be, at least, a dev developed tool that will convert 1 notes rom to another. That way a dev can create a rom, then easily spread it to all devices.
I can't imagine making a script or modifying a kitchen to output for the slight differences between phone would be that difficult.

Here is another one from Chairface, he ported MIU from the verizon GNex to Sprint S3 with CM10 using this http://pastebin.com/Nrhciwyf
I have actually done this method before and it works. It just takes time to work out all the kinks.

You know, I'm not even a Sprint subscriber. I don't own the Sprint GN2. I have absolutely nothing to gain by sharing an idea with all of you. If you think it's a stupid idea, fine, but there's no reason to be an @$$hole about it either.
Now this could turn out one of two ways. Either you're right, and it was a stupid idea, for not working on CDMA GN2's, but at least we tried and now we know for sure -OR- my idea works, maybe with a little finagling, but still possible, and now (with some help) I've just opened up the door for domestic users to take advantage of the development being done around the world; something you've rarely, if ever, been able to do... You're welcome.
So yeah, don't be an @$$hole.

Should he lie and say your idea is good? would that make you feel better? It won't work. The partitions between the Note variants are different. It not the same as the S3's. Just because you don't understand that doesn't make him an asshole. Also if you are going to curse people out, have the balls to actually spell it correctly

Ask anyone that has ever flashed a rom from a different carrier how it worked out for them... Only result I have ever heard of is brick. So forgive me for not kissing your ass because of your stupid idea. The people that are capable of porting roms have either already thought of it and it's not that easy, or its out of the realm of possibility at this point. So all your doing is putting useless thoughts into the heads of people who won't know any better and end up effing their phones. So go suck a boner

geez enough guys. plenty of useful stuff has been pulled from the multiple variants. thinking outside the box is how we get what we have and grow the community and our devices.
it can't (or would be difficult to) do it

This is posible but is not like flashing att rom and putting sprint modem. You got to configure the rom to make it cdma, I remember back in the htc evo days they made t mobile my touch compatible and others htc European with sense 2.1 compatible, only issue was no 4G

I am looking to help her root and install a fresh clean rom. Does everything here for the SPH-D710 work for the SCH-R760? Are there special rooting instructions? Are there any issues I should be looking out for?
I noticed this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566, but it says this is the generic NON US CELLULAR version. Is there anything out there for the US Cellular version of this GS2? I can't seem to find anything really.

This is from the S2 wiki page -
U.S. Cellular - Model SCH-R760
U.S. Cellular's variant (Model SCH-R760) is equivalent to the Sprint variant, except for one specification; the U.S. Cellular variant does not include a 2500*MHz WiMax radio.
This tells me that the US Cellular version will NOT directly correlate to the D710. The i9100 seems to be the most compatible, but I can not confirm that, only what I've deduced from reading. You'll have to read the wiki and make your own decision. Good luck! And let us know how it goes
