Afternoon. Hmm. I am on a different kernel and rom so I am doing this based of vague memory. First, go into your dialer, dial *#27663368378#. Then look for something along the lines of RF setttings or band preference. See if you can choose the 850/900MHz frequency. Forgive me if I'm not completely on the mark but it should be in the menu when you dial *#27663368378# :good:

You need to be 100% stock, non-rooted for it work properly.

Ok but i need JB 4.2.2 or JB 4.3? it works with *#4636# code? and you can enable this band on your phone?

I have not tried this with JB 4.3. I have tried this on my JB 4.2.2 when I unlocked it. I had to be 100% stock, non-rooted for it to work. I can not say if *#4636# will work since I am not stock right now. The SGH-M919 allows the following bands:
LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/17; HSPA+/UMTS: 850/AWS/1900/2100MHz; GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz

So yes, it does support those frequencies. As I said, go back to 100% stock through Odin (preferably to 4.2.2 if you currently have that, I do not know if it works on 4.3) and then dial the *#4636# code and set the frequency to the one you want. :fingers-crossed:

If you have 4.3 and you just bought the phone, I am going to assume you are on a 4.3 bootloader. I would recommend you Odin back to 100% stock 4.3 and run the code and choose your band. It is worth a shot. Try it!!

[Q] N7105 & N7105T Difference?

Hi I'm in Australia, and about to buy a Note 2 LTE. But there are two International models, namely the "N7105" and the "N7105T".
Does anyone know what the difference is, as I wouldn't want to get the wrong one.
I tried looking online, but to no avail
I know most 4G providers here run on LTE1800mHz (/B3?)
Any help would be REALLY appreciated!
The N7105 has three LTE bands: 800, 1800 and 2600 mHz
The N7105T has two LTE bands: 1800 and 2600. It doesn't have the 800 mHz band.

Yes I guess. Only n7105 800Mhz cant work on n7105t Roms.
It looks like another difference is firmware.
I have the N7105T (from Telstra in Australia) and just rooted using the CF Auto Root package for the N7105. No problems there, but when I try and use Triangle Away it says "Cannot find hidden partition. Are you not using ICS?" I'm using 4.1.1 which came installed. I have heard of others with the T version having to flash the N7105 firmware, then Triangle Away works. I just hope that firmware isn't needed for anything important...

Hey mate. i just picked up my n7105t from telstra & i am wanting to root it straight away. Are you still having the "Cannot find hidden partition. Are you not using ICS?" issue? If not, how did you fix it?
I only just picked up the device from, waiting for the battery to reach its first full charge & then i'll root.
Hey vinpor - I have very good news for you! Triangle Away has been updated with support for GT-N7105T! I installed the update and tried to run TA again, no problems with the updated app, it's all sweet! (Although I have not verified the binary count myself... but I got to the point where I would rather have root, I don't care so much about warranty/binary etc. anymore.)
Hi all,
I too have the Telstra N7105T and would like to flash the N7105 Stock Rom to it.
Just wondering if this is a problem and where I can get a copy of the latest ROM for it
M0381U5
Hey M0381U5,
Give this a try: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7105T
Never had to restore a stock ROM before... all the best!
Carrier Branded to Stock
Thanks for the link,
I am actually after the stock international ROM for the N7105,
which is on this link, thanks heaps
to put on my N7105T to kill the carrier bloat.
But also want to be sure that if this is even possible?
and the the Stock International ROM wont kill my specific N7105T
Thanks for your helps
Cheers
I have been using LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 for a little bit now, no problems at all. So I think you'd be fine using the stock international ROM. Just make sure you backup your important files (IMEI, NV, EFS) and get your recovery setup. Pretty hard to actually brick your phone unless you pull the battery while it's installing a ROM or something.

No it depends on your radio, not the version.
Like it says, at least this version, it doesn't say only this version.
Try it, if not just flash an earlier radio for your carrier, and then flash back if you like

Unlocking a Rogers Note 2 doesn't mean it will work on Wind Mobile. You will need to unlock AWS band (after you unlocked the phone). I'm actually surprised that no one mentioned this thread as it's been around for at least 8 months now.
Use the thread to unlock your Note 2 to work with Wind or Mobicity.
Thats exactly what is happening. ..it looks unlcoked but not working on wind I already tested a wind sim...would you please guid me to the link that does this aws band unlock for my note 2...

S-800 (LTE) devices have Qualcomm modems. Exynos devices have Motorola modems. The radio s/w you installed with the LTE ROM isn't compatible with your 3G radio. That's why it's borked.

I have no idea why calling's working. The way to solve the problem is going back to a P-601 ROM. Throughout XDA they are posts from people that have borked their devices using Wi-Fi, 3G, or LTE ROMs interchangeably. They aren't interchangeable.

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.
