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...

I am sure some dev will cook something up, since all the phones have the exact same hardware (for the first time!), Can't wait...

SAME
:laugh:

I'm itching for root...and a port of paranoid.

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.

[Q] ROM Compatibility

Maybe a newb question but if all the Galaxy Note 2 devices are the same (hardware wise), can we just take a N7100 or sprint or att rom, unzip it, and remove the radio.img and kernel.img and flash over our cleanly wiped stock ROM? I'm just curious what it'll take to get some of the better N7100 ROM's going on our device.

Basically,
N7105, AT&T, T-Mobile Note 2's are compatible with one another.
The N7100 ROMs will nuke other Note 2's because of difference is hardware. DO NOT install. In it's current form, it will nuke your IME and you will not be able to get any service (I learned the hard way).
Once the N7105 gets AOSP, the other should quickly follow suit due the congruent hardware platform.

so i can go to the att section of xda adn download whatever roms there and install on my tmo version without any hassle or modification?

Pretty much yes. You'll have to install a T889 kernel and Modem after you flash it. Unfortunately, the AT&T ROMS don't really have that much more offer us.

So we have 3 versions?
1: N7100
2: N7105/Tmo/ATT
3: VZW/SPR
And the differences would be in kernels and radio's, but ROM's should cross?

Yes bur ROMs are not compatible across devices in different numbers (from your list)
I am going to start trying to build AOSP for the TMOBILE version. Hopefully something comes out of that. I'll need an AOSP kernel first.

Correct, they would need ported from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc... Whereas if they're in the same "family" all the differences lie in the kernel and radio. That stuff can be pulled out, reflashed on top, etc. Easy day

Updating Radio/Modem

Hello guys, sorry if this is a noob question for you Sammy guys (I'm more used to Nexus devices), but I was wondering if it is possible to update the baseband version on this device? More specifically, I was wondering if I could update to an international radio/modem? If not, does anyone know where to find the latest radios for each device. I tried searching but only could come up with an older thread for the version I already have (MDL). On my Nexus One and HTC One S we could flash any baseband we wanted, international or carrier release. Thanks!

No.
Do not flash any radio other than the ones made for your device. At best it won't boot. At worst it won't let you Odin back to the correct radio and it will never boot.

Sucks we have to wait for T-Mobile to finally release an update. I knew I should have just went for the i9505 international variant lol. Never again buy from a carrier! Thanks tho, saved me some fun time tooling around in Odin and losing my files.

Yeah but a new modem update by itself will probably never be a super improvement. So you probably aren't missing out on much.
Its not like an updated modem will let you talk to the Moon or something.

LOL. what he's trying to do (my guess) is to use the i9505 4.3 roms. Unfortunately you will LOSE data connection (with the screen off) without the newer radios.
No option unfortunately but wait.

Spot on. Apparently, T-Mo is supposed to release their 4.3 update early to mid November (consult General Section for source). Then and only then would we be able to use a 4.3 TW ROM without cell network wonking out like a drunk. Hopefully T-Mobile could be at least 1/3rd useful this time and actually push out an update for once.. (you can feel my hatred towards carriers...... =.=).
EDIT: SOURCE THREAD, towards the last few pages starts the talk of the rumored T-Mo Nov. release.

There is no M919 Tmobile 4.3 dump.
That's the problem, the only dump and the flashable zipfile rom
available as of yet is for the international versions of the S4's.
Flashing an international version of the 4.3 rom into our M919
phones even if it worked properly we would be losing wifi calling
and most like the LTE feature plus who knows what else.

You are wrong there is a t mobile4.3 dump for very long posted in general section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478553
Sent from my SGH-M919V using Tapatalk 4

We CAN run the TW 4.3 ROMs and have full LTE as normal (except for Wi-Fi calling b/c that's a T-Mo specific feature), the only issue is that data randomly cuts in and out. I don't understand how I could run AOSP 4.3 with no issues but 4.3 TW gives problems...
The thing is, only us T-Mo users have data issues, not the international or any other carrier. So it MUST be the radio version that is the cause of the problems, which is why we must wait for T-Mo to finally release an update...

Has anyone dare to flash international MJ5, JM6 modem? I mean our bootloader is unlock right? If it don't work can we just flash back our old modem? Just a thought.

Not a full dump. Only partial dump as the OP of that thread didn't want to root for fear of triggering Knox, and he had to return the device to tmobile.

SM-N9005 ROM on SM-N900T

I have a Tmobile Note 3 SM-N900T and I would like to know if I can flash note 3 international SM-N9005 Stock rom on my device.
Will this brick my device?

I believe it depends on the rom. Some devs list the models it can work with. Also only the devil of rom knows what tinkering they have done. You will loose Wi-Fi calling
TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3

Thanks for the reply! I am aware that both phones have the same hardware. So can I just flash the LTE international note 3 stock rom firmware on to my tmobile version? I don't want custom roms, so I was wondering if flashing stock rom would work.

Thought so, hey man since you flashed almost all international roms the ones that don't have aroma or manually install the international kernel, my question is even tho it flashes an international kernel while the rom installs it won't brick my note unless I boot up? After flashing rom right away uncheck reboot at the end of aroma(if any) then flash kernel/wifi>gps>bluetooth fix? All should be gravy?

Does knox gets tripped by flashing a N9005 rom on the N900T? Or the N900T modem/kernel afterwards?

Ditto Note 4 (DN4) Rom for sgh-i317

I flahed this rom http://electron-team.com/dn4.html on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 and i loved it! smooth and fast. but i cant find a radio/modem thats compattible with it. i practically did everything trying to make it work: extracting modems from other stock firmwares, flashing UCUCNE5 modem, restoring efs back ups...
i dnt knw if its the 4.4.4 version, but i guess its for the GT-N7100 only.
so an patiently waiting and hoping for the devs to make this rom available for us i317 users
if there any any thoughts about the DN4 rom for sgh-i317, post them here :good:

Ok man. Sounds great.
I'm about to think that all Galaxy Note are the same expecting Radio firmware. Gonna give it a try on the n7105.
:laugh:

Ok I tried it on n7105:
No GSM / 3g / 4g (wifi works)
No stylus recognition.
Runs smooth by the way.

Hi Prezzi,
So I have the AT&T Note II SGH-i317 version and I am thinking of updating the ROM to RN4 by Electron-Team. However, I would like to hear from you if it's working fine or not since the E-Team are stating that this ROM update is for the n7100 version only.
You mentioned that you can't find a radio/modem that is compatible with SGH-i317, what effects does that have on the phone? Does this mean you cannot access 3G/4G network now?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Here is a quote from sawdoctor who is maintaining (along with bajanman) the DN3 ROM for the E-Team...
sawdoctor said:
I'll try and explain it to you so you understand a bit better. Porting n7100 to the s3 is very easy as the framework is almost identical (I could do it in 10 mins). Porting n2 lte variants to s3lte or verizon is very easy framework is almost identical. Samsung in they're infinite wisdom decided to completely change the lte variants framework after 4.1. AFAIK only one person has managed to port between lte and none lte variants and that was the s3 and s3lte. To get dn4 work in on our device requires completely rewriting the framework which is why no one wants to do it. The eteam are very busy with work atm so it's been left to me and bajanman to rewrite the framework. We have done 2 of the 5 folders needed and will try to do the rest. It might happen it might never happen. Editing smali is not easy especially when you don't understand it lol. The eteam are actual developers not chefs like most so called devs. Anyone can make a rom with a kitchen you don't even need linux anymore.

Im using DN3 v5 on my sgh-i317m canadian variant note 2 everything is great it run fast and smooth I like this rom alot. I have flashed a few different roms and this one is my favorite by far. I tried to flash DN4 it was successful other then it didnt read/recognize my sim card I asked me to install a sim I tried to go in to the settings and see if I could change my apn for my provider telus/koodo but it wouldnt let me access the apn due to the no sim did I do something wrong during flash? Or do I have to download something to get it to work with my provider?

The DN4 rom only works with the n7100 version only.

yes the ROM works fine! smooth and runs well.
but since the modem is not meant for i317, there will be no 3g/4g network, so u wont be able to make calls or anything pertaining to mobile network. still waiting to see if someone will port it to the LTE varients

note2 to note4
hi guys i dont remember where i get this flashable, but it has the 4.4.4 towchwiz with t0lte rid and radio, so, i think it could help porting dn4.... i will send you a link to download by PM im sorry i cant post outside links yet.
im so sorry about my english...

The place
Just wanted to be sure this is the place to be with the i317 variant? I know the original file was made for 7100, but hopefully it can be ported to the i317 model.
Evethough I don't have the 7100 I flashed it, just to see whats on it. Some exciting stuff! It really felt like a Note 4! Great work guys! I will check in hoping to one day find the i317 is ready to go. For now I will just use another great ROM DN3 5.2.

Im not understanding everyones trouble with running DN4 on the sgh-317 because i have now been running it on mine with full network, features, and stylus support. Its actually really smooth and enjoyable to use. There is a whole thread on it in the n7105 forum. I do know people where having trouble flashing all the updates and having them take but there is a custom CWM recovery that fixed all of that. Hope this helps give hope.

Ita been running very smooth, great battery life, and no reboots or network issues either.
I just followed this post in the N7105 section http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development-n7105/addon-dn4-n7105-v1-0-31-12-t2988848 which also works with the sgh-317.

Hope that helps you. If you have trouble i can make a step by step of what i did exactly.

Flashed from my I-317 DN5 V2. Confirmed it's working. The FM radio has been removed though I think it's because of the bug reported in original post for 7100. Couple minor things don't work such as dual clock digital in the widgets but i doesn't bother me. Overall, it's smooth and stable as the DN5V2 sofar.
