does flashing the I9505 rom affect the raido frequence? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

i have a question, going overseas soon(china). does flashing the tmobile s4 with the I9505 international Rom affect the radio frequency of the phone? does it change it to the same radio specs as the I9505? or it will remain on the original tmobile S4's band?
thanks

To answer your question, No, flashing the I9505 ROM to your M919 will Not change your current M,919 radio installed on your T-Mobile M919. If it did, there would be many people hard bricking their S4 's
With the above being said, Always check to make sure the ROM your installing doesn't have a radio cooked into it. In most All cases they don't, but it doesn't hurt tottake a few seconds to check the thread.
Usually the only ROMs that include a radio is when you ODIN back to the stock firmware.

Thanks, in china right now on the tmo ,whicked rom. Everything is working . Will flash alpha rom on my last day here, dont want to mess with it right now,

Alpha 7.3 just dropped.
Don't use Superwipe in Aroma though.
A Full Wipe in Recovery and a Full Wipe in Aroma should be fine.
Since you're in China, you may want to hold off changing ROMs until you're back, but your call.
Remember that Alpha is i9505 based and doesn't have calling over WiFi.
Enjoy your trip

Are US and International Note II ROMs compatible?

The US variants wont have the multitasking bar. Can we root then flash the cooked international ROMs which provide this instead?
I've been meaning to ask this as well.
just picked up my Note 2 for T-Mobile and would like to know as well. i'm assuming yes since internally the US variants and international are the same except for the modem. i'm itchin to flash a rom on this...
i read post one thread they try flash G7100 rom over G7105 and got stuck in boot loop. You can search in general thread and find out
i specifically want to know about using a TMOB variant on AT&T
Ditto on the OP question...waiting in front of TMO US tore now and hoping to get ARHD 3.0 on this bad boy ASAP!
I sure do hope it would work...

Root is fine In my exp, but flashing international ROM gives you the wrong baseband and you loose cell services.

just don't flash the radio (modem). probably needs some RIL fixin' and what not. then i think these roms will work across most variants.
I believe it has something to do with isis. The rep told me that all SIMs are isis now.
To maintain security, I am guessing it has to be the TMO baseband.
I could be wrong.

that's easy. just flash the correct modem from the carrier. this is going to be fun.
Yeah, this should work just fine. Does anyone have the modem files?
I have a request into Samsung for a complete dump for recovery, but no word yet.
I flashed Omega 4.1 which had a modem in it. :/

you might be able to extract the radio out of one of those OTA updates. not sure if there is one or not.

[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..

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.

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.

[Q] [TELUS] SGH-I317M and flashing ROMs

Hi,
I'm fairly educated in rooting and flashing custom ROM (First Galaxy S, HTC HD7, Galaxy Nexus), but I've been hit by a little problem with my Galaxy Note II.
I have the Canadian model SGH-I317M on Telus (Quebec, Canada). This model is quite special,and we can't just flash N7100 ROMs directly on it as you guys may already know.
This is why I'm posting on AT&T's forum (SGH-I317).
Yesterday I flashed one of the available ROMs (NOTEorious prime), and everything worked and ran smoothly as expected, except one thing: Data connection. I wrote down my APNs and made sure at least 10 times they were OK. I also reverted to default, re-entered them and rebooted several times. No chance.
I guess it has to be something related to AT&T's kernel included with the ROM, but since SGH-I317M is such a shady model I'm struggling for information. I did my search on the forums and saw nothing clear and precise on what to do exactly.
For now I restored my backup to stock rooted ROM. Unfortunately I was out of time and didn't try an other ROM. But as soon as I'm out of the office I'll download an other one. Still, NOTEorious was very appealing and I would like to make it work.
So here I am, asking you if you encountered the problem. If not, I am willing to dive into the problem with experienced users if necessary. I have never done advanced stuff beyond rooting and flashing my devices, but I'm a software analyst. I can learn.
Oh and, please bear with my English skills, it's not my native language !
Thank you
How did you confirmed that LTE is not working?
With some ROMs (i use Jedi X on rogers) you won't see the LTE icon but 4G instead in the status bar, and the normal 4G is H+
test with speedtest.net just to be sure that you really have a problem.

I disconnected Wireless and tried to search google using chrome. No data connection.
I should have specified that i simply have no data :S Sorry
EDIT: Changed in the main post
i've had this problem on previous phones where data wouldn't connect when flashing a rom... it was as simple as the modem not being compatible with my network.
Try pulling and flashing a telus modem with your new rom and see if that helps.

Thanks for the tip ! Never had to do this before.
It doesn't seem to be any telus modem, but a guy pointed out that using Rogers' work. I will try it out and update as soon as I can.
I have the telus model too and was encountering the same data problems until.....
Flashed Clean Rom 3.3. I highly recommend it. When flashing it it asks you what carrier and you can select Telus. I didn't have to change any carrier settings and lte worked and even had the icon. It is a super fast and stable rom too.
Select the perseus kernel in the flashing options as well.

Try a different ROM like Jedi. It retains your modem on the 317m. and in the case something gets changed, you can also flash the modems as a .zip on the same thread.
The key to flashing att rom to our Canadian devices is having patch designated to our carriers. I always flash Rogers modem with ril and csc patch and never had any data problems and yeah most of roms I flashed to my phone are att roms.

Download modem with ril and your csc from link below and use it to flash after flashing your rom. You will need to flash them after you flash your rom before reboot.

Im still having data and voice problems, actually I just put the sim and it have a little bit of ATT signal and then it goes off with a circle in the bar icon, I already do a lot of things like change modems, rom, kernels, unlock change imei, I order a new sim connector wich comes with sd card reader I believe this is the problem in other case if doesn't work I guess is a hardware like radio or modem failure wich will be a mess because I spend already 350 dollars for the Note2. Just waiting for the sim flexible to come and test if it works. Any other suggestions I will be all ears. Thanks guys!
I'm guessing you have a recovery then if your flashing modems. What recovery are you using. Did you make a backup of the stock rom. If your using teamwin did you make a fill backup with the modem and efs from your stock backup. And if you restore back to the start dose that fix your problem.

Hello all. I know this isn't a port..deal with it..ha
Finally some time to make a new thread.
I flashed goldeneye 4.4.2 rom from the ATT section

Ktoon 4.4.2 tmo kernel.
I have no issues...
Wifi works...no force close with security...All good

Yeah I know I got the same response in another thread...it works for me without the new bootloader and modem that 9505 requires for the rom to work and the one in the t mobile section doesn't work properly. ..I don't really care if this gets deleted I just wanted to share in case people can use it. At least until the official tmo rom comes out.

I think the att and the i9505 is the same rom. No bootloader needed and the same built in karnel.
Instead of falsifying the thread title, op could of made a tutorial or something about his findings or tips when flashing another carrier custom rom, etc.
Moved to general and title changed, no matter what you flash, you are always taking a chance regardless...

Looking for AT&T KK port

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but i could not find it.
I have a T999. I moved out of TMO coverage and changed to straight talk using AT&T. Everything (call data) works great.
I am looking for a AT&T Kit Kat TW stock port if there is one out there. I looked in the Dev pages and didn't find any.
I can build it if I need to. but need to know, can I just take the stock AT&T rom and change the modem and flash with ODIN or with a custom recovery?
Right now I'm newest stock rooted. I used to do a lot, but it's been a while.
Never flash firmware from another device. Currently there is only likewise. TMS3KK will be out very soon. I've got an NE4 port in the works but just haven't been home much so haven't finished it.
You can flash AT&T roms, but unless properly ported you may have some issues, primarily with the network.
Thanks ... I figured all the radios would be broke. Didn't know if there was any other difference.
I can wait a bit ...
In the at&t section there's a 442 system dump. Its what I've been running. Flashes, runs fine on latest t999 radio
Here ya go. Just flash Ktoonz kernel after ROM.
