Flashing a ROM 4 a NOOB

Hi everyone!
Please be gentle as this is new for me for a phone, not new here on xda just spent time on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums, just new to the T mobile SG2. I just picked this excellent phone yesterday and have already rooted it. I have the tab 10.1 running task's ROM with perhoot's kernel and flashing ROM etc is pretty straight forward since it isn't with a carrier, just WiFi. I currently have Android 2.3.6 and want to flash a ROM, I am back and forth between Bombaridier V.3.5 and CyanogenMod 7 Self-Kang #2 Alphafied 2.3.7 or any other one that someone would recommend?
Since I have never owned an Android phone only the tab 10.1 I have some question and I did search but am still confused and dont want to screw up.
1. If I am on 2.3.6 can I flash one that says 2.3.7?
2. I am on t mobile, so the one I flash needs to be in the Android development on the T Mobile forum located here?
3 any other thing I need to do so I don't lose the base band of the phone (i guess that is what they call it) as my wife has an iPhone and I keep seeing instructions for preserving base band?
3. Anything I missed that I need to know about?
All I really really appreciate the help and guidance just want to get on a custom ROM as I love it on my tab 10.1, thanks again everyone!!!

Welcome!
1. You can flash from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 no problem.
2. Any ROM that is in this specific subforum will work. Do NOT flash anything for any other Galaxy S II, it may brick your phone.
3. Basebands are not included in roms, so you will not lose it, unless you flash a new modem.
Just remember to always perform a full wipe, I recommend the Darkside Super Wipe. You can backup your apps with Titanium Backup.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, just flashed with success. Appreciate the help.

Look into TDJ's superwipe in the rom section. I do that between flashes since it keeps things clean.
An example is that before it came out, i had 1.8 gigs used on my rom partition, and after using it and installing all the same apps with data(restoring with titanium) and having the phone rebuilt to the same state with another samsung based rom, it was only 1.1 used. Lots of junk gets left behind here and there.

You can also flash AT&T Skyrocket ROMs, Kernels, Radio Modems, Recoveries, and Odin's.

Need some help asap with a new rom

Hi everyone, basically i have a galaxy note N7105 and when i first got it, i was helped on here by someone to root it and install a custom rom, which i did, that was almost a year ago haha
I have since seen alot of new roms on here and wondered if anyone could help me.
I know how to install a rom onto the phone and gapps ect, but wondered if anyone could tell me if there was a rom which has the same as note 3?
I dont use the pen so thats not a problem, I just want to update my phone as i've been using WANNAMLITE which is now outdated.

I basically want to know if there is a rom already out for the N7105 which basically makes the note 2 like the note 3?

If you want the same feature as Note 3, our N7105 currently don't have (as in ROM originally made for N7105).
But you can try SkyNote from AT&T forum, search & read first before you flash, make sure you understand how it works to flash this ROM onto your device N7105.
If you don't care about the feature from Note 3, you can use some of the AOSP ROM, which is now I think the most ROM developed for N7105 (CM based).
If you just want to update to 4.3, with KNOX-free, you can use LIONrom. This is for our N7105, but it is purely stock, modded KNOX (knox free), rooted, deodexed. So far I use this one, I never face any problem as stated by other user.
All your choice mate.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply, Its the note 3 features that im after, I've been on the same rom for ages now and decided i wanted a change, and thought i'd give the note 3 a go on my note 2, but im not sure which rom best acts as a note 3.
obviously with as least amount of problems as possible.
I've read some of them lose wifi, and some of them aint giving the correct 4g ect ect.

if you just want to experience the note 3 features try searching play store there are some apps that gives you note 3 features

That was why I said, read and understand first about the ROM before u flash.
If u follow the OP instructions, very less chance of the problems occur.
Most ppl are not following instructions, or just do a dirty flash, got problem, and blame on the rom.
Wifi if u flash devil kernel it will fix it.
4g normally due to modem not compatible with ur region., u have to check with OP whether rom will be compatible with other modem or not.
Good luck mate.

[Q] Need clarification on roms for T889V

Hello people,
I am sorry I have to make a new thread
I have a t889v note 2 on 4.3, rooted, with videotron 4.3 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975560 rom, baseband T889VVLUCMK4 and I want a piece of that kitkat action. I have used EFS professional to backup NV items because I don't want to end up with a f****d up IMEI number with no reception, but I'm not sure Im in the clear to test out different roms.
This is the reason for my post, I want to know which roms I would be the safest with. I have read so many conflicting posts on this I don't feel confident enough to make a judgement call. Does t0lte roms include any modem that would conflict with my t889v modem/baseband? What about t0ltetmo ? I understand that's the part where t-mobile comes in but this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...06&postcount=8 says I shouldn't ever use t0ltemo, but would t889v not be closer to t889 than GT-N7105 ? In the same thread people are saying they flash t-mobile roms and then just flash the canadian modem on top and it works fine, but I would rather not mess anything up the first time around.
Anyone care enough to help? Basically I just want to know what to look for in my rom selection, I understand I don't want a rom with a built-in modem, but this is conflicting too, omnirom early builds have no modem while later builds have one?

I'm guessing you've been deterred by my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684412
In my experience, ROMs for the GT-N7105 work fine. You can also try other ROMs for AT&T, and Sprint, they are usually ok. I think there are many other posts on this on XDA, so have a look.
The moral of the story is, make sure to back up your EFS partition. It's that simple.

if it is a rom that you flash in recovery you should be fine. they don't usually contain a modem or bootloader that would bork your install. You should be able to flash att, tmo, or n7105 roms with no problem

Thank you very much to both of you, very appreciated.
I went on to install omnirom 4.4 but Im not really liking the multiwindow, its a poor experience compared to touchwiz, I might eventually switch to a touchwiz ui based rom to get note 3 features and all the goodies, Im not sure yet.

As long as you don't flash a non T889V modem you should be good. When in doubt, nothing stops you from checking the zip or tar to see if it includes a modem, and removing it if needed.
If you haven't seen it yet, some recoveries recently had issues after flashing KitKat ROMs where your IMEI would show as unknown along with the phone not having service. Flashing the same ROM with another, updated, recovery fixes it.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889V Custom ROM Installation

Hi, I recently joined XDA to get information about how to install or modify custom roms.
I firstly tried to search before making this thread, but I couldn't get exact information that I wanted. (Or, my searching was crap..)
I'm very new to Android (was using iPhones), so I would be very appreciated if you can help starting from basic knowledge.
Device Type - Samsung Galaxy Note II
Model Number - SGH-T889V
Android Version - 4.4.2
Baseband Version - T889VVLUDNH2
Kernal Version - 3.0.31-1736364
Build Number - KOT49H.5889VVLUDNH2
Carrier - WIND Mobile
1.
What is the most stable Custom ROM for my device?
I saw Cyanogen, MIUI, OMNI, etc.
However, I couldn't select anything since I didn't know whether they support my device or not.
2.
Can you help me to find information about installing them? (from #1 question)
3.
I saw that Note 2 can have Note 3 or 4 roms.
I want to know the difference between note 2 and note 4 roms. (like more stable, fast, compatible, etc)
4.
I saw that my device could be locked by WIND.
How can I check if it's locked without getting new SIM card?
5.
Also, I saw T889 and T889V have different modem.
If I flash T889 modem, I wouldn't go back to T889V modem, is this correct?
If so, what do I have to do prior to flashing ROM and modem?
If you need more information, I can definitely provide them, so feel free to tell me!
Thanks to whoever would help me.

Can anyone enlighten my view on this phone?

Hello, name's Mike, have been in the android side for a while and it's my first time actually owning an US version of a phone, the N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) running 5.0 stock TW. (I don't live in the US)
So please, enlighten me!
ROOT AND RECOVERY
I have tried to root it and did it successfully, however when I tried to get a custom recovery on it, I only got boot loops so far, tried various tutorials, none of them have yet worked out for me.
CUSTOM ROMS
Are there any current custom rom development for this phone? I've seen lots of KK roms but I was looking to get a stable lollipop AOSP like rom like CM12 but without crashes or battery drain. Does anyone know any good roms that are stable?
PORTING
Also! How do you port a N9005 rom to a 900T? I've seen some methods by flashing a BT+Wifi fix or something like that but it seems outdated and I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Please, please help me out, I am really out of it. Used to Custom rom on a Huawei U8650, Galaxy S2 and on my G2, but this is harder due to it being a carrier phone.
Thanks for your comprehension.

Did you download the right TWRP? Get the tar file and odin it.

Did you check the N900T development forum? There is quite a few to select from. I.E. Slim
