Hi I just unlocked the note 2 att version by downgrading to firmware 4.1.1. Now I can use the phone for t-mobile. I now want to root and have t-mobile based rom installed.
To achieve this must I first odin flash t-mobile's official 4.1.2 firmware and
then root and then install a t-mobile 4.1.2 based custom rom?
Or can I simple root and just install a 4.1.2 t-mobile custom rom?
Thanks!

First, why do you need a T-Mobile ROM? Is it for the wifi calling?

Yes exactly. That is the only reason really.

I have it in Note3 and it sucks...
I also have unlocked Note2 and it works fine on T-Mobile.
Do not odin the T889 firmware. Keep your current bootloader and modem, flash a tmo rom via recovery. Problems can be addressed in the rom thread.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
This ROM should work

Jason, you are fine to flash any ROM as long as it is for your specific model e.g. N7105 (yours) and not for another model. Being on 4.1 you may find your current bootloader causes intermittent problems on a 4.3 ROM. There are two solutions, upgrade your bootloader to MJ5 prior to flashing 4.3 ROM or flash 4.3 ROM then flash drketan's wifi fix.
I also recommend NOT flashing from Sammobile, instead go to Android development forum here on XDA and select an appropriate ROM. That way the Knox feature present in latest 4.3 ROMs can be avoided.
I have deliberately not included links for you - instead read & read install instructions from the ROM thread of your choosing. You will be fine as long as you understand each step & all the terms & points mentioned in ROM thread.
Good luck
Hi,
Just updated to N900T UVUDNF1 bootlader and ROM and not quite happy with a few things. I was on Jelly Bean till now. Is it possible to install a NB4 or MI7 Rom even though I am on the new boot loader and radio? Would it work? I need to switch to a TW ROM because of WiFi calling.
Thanks much!

NB4 is not jellybean it's kitkat 4.4.2 TW firmware.
MI7 is jellybean 4.3 TW firmware.
Both the NB4 and the MI7 are Tmobile N900T TW roms and both have
the wifi calling option as long as your phone is a Samsung N900T
Tmobile branded device and you are on the Tmobile network.
If your radio/baseband is NB4 then you cannot downgrade to MI7,
however you can upgrade to NE6 or the latest NF1 firmwares which
are Kitkat 4.4.2 TW firmwares and both have the wifi calling feature.
Good luck!

Hi,
I am already on NF1 firmware. Upgraded yesterday(was on M17) and think I may have made a mistake upgrading to it so soon based on my usage of one the new NF1 custom roms.
So I cannot use a M17 (JB) Rom, but could I install a NB4 Rom since it is KK? I have TW recovery(2.7) installed.
Thanks!
In case anybody wondering I installed [NB4][AROMA] Hyperdrive KK RLS3.1 ║║ Hyperdrive just right now and it has been fantastic so far
No issues yet. GPS locked inside the house in a second on the first try.
So NB4 Rom works on an NF1 firmware imho.
Cheers!
Is it possible to flash an at&t stock rom on an unlocked, rooted, tmobile gs4 (sgh m919, android 4.2.2)? I really wanna use the touch wiz 5.0.1 but I can't find any ported roms (tmobile being a ***** and not releasing 5.0.1 update like the other carries did)...
If you mean firmware by "stock rom" I would not recommend it. You can probably flash a custom rom based on At&t's 5.0.1 update, it's a safer method. If you have issues with data or calls you may need to update your modem to the latest T-Mobile version

Every ROM I find is for T217S/T nothing ever mentions the AT&T version T217A. Does that mean the AT&T device cannot be flashed with a custom ROM and have working LTE? Thanks!

I have a Sprint S6 Edge + that has been unlocked and I'm using it on a Tmobile network. Is there a way to load the stock Tmobile firmware on this phone to essentially make it a Tmobile phone instead of Sprint?
It is a stock SM-G928P, running stock Android 6.0.1
Thanks.

I don't think is possible but you can try. You can install a custom rom or s7 port if you find one
