I don't think it's a problem they're same just different region - both LTE bands. You can always flash back!

so i wont be able to use my LTE when a ROM from a different version is installed? I'm quite sad that most ROMs we have are for C6506. Anyone here installed those ROMs on a different ZL version?

No - they should work fine. If you do not get LTE after flash any version of rom (stock or not). Using flashtool choose your region (your carrier) stock rom: uncheck everything on the top right screen part (wipes), check everything except baseband on the middle right -Flash just bb, then everything should be normal. Again you can flash any Rom that is made for XZL.

Guide: Flashing Verizon/AT&T Roms(List of Confirmed Roms)

Hey guys I just thought I would share that I have successfully flashed both AT&T Rom along with a Verizon Rom (JellyBeans 9). I know the AT&T one is a little more known however I couldnt find one to do with Verizon. So all you have to do is download the Rom of your choice and flash it, then you have to flash the Tmobile Modem and you should be set to go! Hope this helps some people as I contemplated flashing a Verizon Rom on my Note 2. I have also tried International Roms with no luck sadly. This is a community based thread and I couldnt do it without some of the help from you guys, everyone deserves the "Thanks" I get!
Find stock Modem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380
Caution: This is not an official guide its just something I have found after flashing some ROMs I personally THINK MAJORITY of the ROMs should work but I take no responsibility for bricks.
I am going to start a list of Confirmed Roms if you have a Rom from a different carrier then please tell me and I will update the list, Thanks!

Yes it works I started a thread about this a week ago in general forum. Flash rom then kernel and modem for tmobile. If you download a rom that doesn't give you data, once you flash rom and its booted up, turn on wifi and go to market to download hiapn and itll help restore apn settings giving you data again. Every rom ive tried has workes. Verizon, tmobile, sprint, and at&t.

Sorry I just want to make sure I understand this. So we download any kernel for the t-mobile note 2 and the modem. Then download an AT&T rom and flash it with the kernel and modem?

No need. The kernel goes with the ROM.
All you should need is the modem.
Yeah no need to flash a different Kernel.
Re: Guide: Flashing Verizon/AT&T Roms
And what benefit do we get from doing this over a T-mobile ROM? Will Wi-Fi/usb tethering work?

Well say you see a cool ROM in the Verizon section but its unavailable for T Mobile. You can use this process to flash that much wanted ROM to your phone.
Anytime Glad I could help!

This is frgin awesome news. I wondered if this was possible but was to afraid to try and didnt want to ask. Thanks. Soo just to be sure you can flash "any" verizon or att note 2 rom. Just as long as you flash the tmobile modem and you will be set? No brick and no problems? Of course except known issues?

I tried jelly beans rom which was pretty good just didn't like battery life. I'm now on a AT&T ROM right now which is cleanrom I'm staying on this one for awhile.
Just wanted to say you really shouldn't even need to flash a modem unless the rom your wanting to flash contains a modem. If the rom contains a modem then you'll need to flash a T-Mobile modem otherwise you will still have the same modem you had before flashing.

[Q] [SOLVED] How to update baseband version from Custom ROM?

I am currently on CM10.1 for Galaxy Grand (Custom ROM) and right now the baseband version i have is I9082XXAMD1. The latest updates to stock ROM through Samsung, updates the baseband version to I9082XXAME4.
How can i update my baseband version while using CM10.1?
With AMD1, CM10.1 is running absolutely fine (disregarding the bugs known). If i update to AME4, can it (will it) somehow affect the functioning of phone/call feature ?
Anyone?
You get no reply because you seem to confuse "baseband" to "firmware" version. The firmware XXAMF7 has baseband XXAMC4. Baseband pertains to the modem. If you have dual sim grand it will surely enable 2 sims on XXAMF7. CM10.1 works only on 1 sim.

Thanks for correcting me. I edited my question for future references.
Now to my question, how am I supposed to get my baseband version updated while staying on CM10.1?
Rejocie001, how did u get urs updated? U flashed stock rom to update the baseband and then back to CM10.1?

No.. there is no other easier way.. If you flash only the kernel file.. U will get unknown baseband issue.. So better flash the stock firmware then revert back to cm10.1.. this is the safest method..

Maybe flashing the modem not the kernel will solve the OP problem? AFAIK kernel flashing does not change the baseband. Pull the modem.img from the stock then add it to rar using winrar for example then flash over cm10.1 using odin. Anyway I have not tried it so OP you are on your own.

Answer
Why you don't try out to install rom through official recovery already installed in Grand.
I've got the same dilemma, I've got an s4, so I flash stock rom, then have to root that rom after update and reflash cyanogenmod?

No straight way to update baseband version
I'm on an i9295 with CM11, but the baseband (modem) version is leftover from the stock Touchwiz 4.2.2 I was using ages ago. It doesn't seem to be any fast/smart way to update it. I'll have to spend some time on this. The only way I can think of is the one proposed by rejocie001. I'll have to flash a newer Touchwiz firmware, which will update the baseband version, then I'll have to push CWM via Odin, which will hopefully allow me to flash the CM11 zip again.
If anyone has a better way to do it, please speak up, it can save me a lot of trouble. Don't leave me in the dark here.
Thanx.

It does. First mod I flashed after upgrading, rooting and installing the dual CWM & TWRP. Not a single problem with it.

[Q] SGH i317 recomended modem?

Good afternoon
After working on the phone all day trying to figure out how to unlock i manage to do it flashing a roger 4.1.1 modem. The issue now is that i forgot to backup the 4.1.2 and don't know where to look for it or if i should update to a better modem if there is one better than the 4.1.2. Currently on Clean rom 5 is that matters. Thanks in advance.
You can choose from the modem list in my thread one stop. You can try the MK4, but the latest is the MK6 and those are both for AT&T btw...

Thanks for the fast reply, the one i installed was ROGERS_MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 just so i could unlock the network of the phone,i ask cause mk6 seems alot different from i317MVLALJ2.
Ok i tried the MK6 but the phone was rebooting after a few minutes so i had to re flashed the rogers j2 modem back....
This SGH i317m is from a company named Claro, is there any other detail i can provide to improve the chances of finding the right modem for my phone? i haven't tested the phone on the 4.1.1 modem yet, current version is 4.1.2.

So far i tested the phone which is a Claro note2 with the new radio modem and seems fine for the moment, i hope it works better with net10 when i move to the states. I let you know i find something bad. Thanks a lot for help.
Ok for some reason, my SGH I317 passed to be a GT N7105 as model number, is that normal when flashing radio/modem? Will it affect the phone?

That's because you flashed a Rom which changed it to that. You know the model of your device, so you use the correct modem according to you device model. And everything will be OK..[emoji106][emoji41]

Hello Bajanman,
I am also facing the exact same issue that you are solving out here, I am using at&t galaxy note 2 sgh-I317,
I flashed DN4 rom into my device, i got it all up and running. But now I am facing issues with network reception and my device also does not allows me enable "wcdma only" network mode. Is that an issue with my modem? kindly advise on this.

I honestly have not seen it in our forums, search for it and if its not here then it does not support it, do NOT try to flash it in this case.. It could have been a T-Mobile S3 for another country, not the U.S. variant

Each kernel is different so I don't know. Personally I just used stock on demand and runs great for me. A balance between performance and battery life.. I don't like to sacrifice performance
