I finally got my internet sharing and MMS working on my unlocked Rogers Lumia 900 running on Bell. Earlier this week, I came across this page. http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900/197920.htm. If you follow his instructions (minus the unplugging the cable during the rom flashing), you should have working internet sharing and MMS without having to input any APN settings. The first time I started it with the TelCel rom, I still had to input my APN to get data to work. Then I performed a hard reset by holding volume down, power, and camera buttons. After that, it picked up the correct settings from the sim card and everything works as it's supposed to. The only downside to some people is that now instead of showing "LTE" in the status bar, it shows "4G" and instead of "4G" when you are on the HSPA network, it shows an "H". I think this is a truer representation of the network you are on anyways since HSPA isn't a true 4G network like the American companies would have us believe.
Please note that if you are going to do this, you will lose any unsynced data on your phone and will also have to reinstall all your apps so backup what you need to.

Seems interesting. I will wait for the 7.8 version to come out. I wouldn't want my phone to be stuck at 7.5 for some reason after trying this.

If for some reason it doesn't update to 7.8, you could always just flash the stock Rogers rom back to your phone and then get 7.8.

Have no problem with 4G, sharing and MMS on original AT&T firmware (using my lum with Europe operators).
Could it be a SIM card flag that prevents the sharing, the euro ops SIMS dont have it
Could it be a SIM card flag that prevents the sharing, the euro ops SIMS dont have it but the NA ops do?

May be, may be... But I had problem too with this features, when it worked on a 1st firmware (flashed by AT&T, not by me). Then I decided to flash it on my own via Care Suite (had flashed the earliest firmware, then updated via Zune). Now it works without any problems. After flashing try to not use the Nokia's Network Setup. If sharing would be OK, you could install NNS on your choice
It works for me after doing a hard reset with t) mobile, if I run NetworkSetup then it stops working. If I insert my att sim then it also stops working.

One more datapoint...
Recently unlocked, using Taiwan Cellular unable to tether.
Before installing Network Setup receive message: no data connection found...
After installing Network Setup, "to enable tethering on this device, go to att.com...".
Same SIM card in HD7 allows internet sharing... no problem. So it's not the SIM.
On HD7, data connection shows "H" but on Lum900 showing "4G"... (not a problem, just observation)
Have hard reset with Taiwan SIM, no joy. Reflashed using Nokia Care Suite... same results.
1. It's clear, stay away from Network Settings app. Even overriding APN settings results in same bogus ATT message.
Any point in flashing a pre-8779 rom? One of the TelCel MX or Claro LTE roms?
To flash another RM808 carrier's rom on top of an ATT RM808 device, is it a straight flash with NCS or need to rename files?

Is there currently a working T-Mobile modem that gets 3G on T-Mobile for the AT&T note 2? Instead of the typical Edge. (same as on Note 1) I have my AT&T Note 1 with 3G on T-Mobile... Any releases yet for the Note 2? I already ordered the dual sim card adapter for the Note 2...

I can't seem to get a straight answer on this either. I have been searching for 2 days now and I haven't been able to find any solutions. I have jediX on my unlocked AT&T phone with a T-Mobile sim and all I get is Edge. ive tried to put on the T-Mobile Radio and it just boot loops me.
I may have to try and find someone that wants to trade phones with me at this point.

yes i have, when i flash other roms that say the radio is included, it still shows the AT&T radio under settings>device info.
I have Jedi -X4 for Build number but,
i317UCALJ2 listed as the Baseband Version.
Model number shows SGH-T889.
if i try to flash a the T-mobile Radio, it just boot loops.

I have only just started looking into this myself and was expecting a working T-mobile radio that can be used on AT&T (or Rogers) to be floating around, considering they are all using hardware revision JRO03C.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please clarify: you have a T889 (TMo N2) device using an AT&T SIM, in an area confirmed to have AT&T LTE service, and you're getting no LTE? Have you tried flashing the modem package off an i317 (AT&T N2) onto your device to see if LTE gets activated that way?
Did you tried *#2263# and then u can choose lte 17 for att.good look ..
I didn't try those two, but I will right now. Tried another method using a long input string, but it didn't work.
Yep the *#*#4636#*#*doesnt work on theese roms, however the*#2263# works on the x5 rom but not on the 4.1.2 lk7 roms.on theese roms u can choose lte and hspa from mobile settings but there is not lte only option.do u have a succes with the code ,by the way you can try hspa plus on 1900 mhz on tmobile card with that code too.i tryed it and I can confirm it is 21mbits for now.

TMobile Modem on Galaxy Note 2 ATT i317
I am in the same situation as the OP. Looking to flash a T889 modem onto an ATT Galaxy Note 2 (i317) similar to the solution for Galaxy Note 1 ATT (i717) users using Tmobile network (by flashing a modified Amaze? modem).
Anyone successful in getting 3g TMobile speeds with their Galaxy Note I317?

LTE should work if you do that, but make sure your IMEI is still OK, and have a backup phone if you try flashing back the T889 modem. My phone is stuck in a bootloop since trying to go T889V -> I317M -> T889V.

I have an AT&T note 2 unlocked working a T-Mobile sim and 4G has been working from the start!
Did you double check that you're in a strictly AWS area, spectrum-wise?
Oh, and quick update: I was able to get the phone to boot with the I317M modem, switch it to diagnostic mode and fix the EFS NV entries. LTE works, not sure about AWS HSPA and not in a position to test.

So you have a T889 and flashed I317M Modem and accessed the *#197328640# code and did what exactly? and you are getting LTE on AT&T?

Hello TEKHD,
I have a T889V, but my carrier up here is Virgin Mobile Canada, whose network is technically closer to AT&T's band-wise. DC-HSPA 42 on 850 and 1900 MHz with LTE on Band 4 (AWS).
Reason I got a T889V is because I also keep a T-Mobile SIM for stateside trips, it was a bit cheaper and it leaves the door open to switching to Videotron in addition to the "Big Three".
I first unlocked the phone using the ServiceMode menu method.
I backed up /efs, and this is where I made my first mistake. I know I've been ranting about this for a few days now, you need a proper Qualcomm NV backup.
I usually stick to the Canadian ROMs as they tend to remain closer to their international brethren than the US ones, and also because they don't require tethering fixes. In this case, the T889V ROM also allows switching network modes between GSM, WCDMA and GSM/WCDMA/LTE easily.
I did modify the CSC files to remove the <CscFeature_Setting_DisableNetworkMode>lte</CscFeature_Setting_DisableNetworkMode> line in /system/csc/others.xml and even went so far as making a customized VMC CSC and reapplied that to get all the other little carrier tweaks like FastDormancy. The line is cosmetic only, as I've had it show 4G in the network icon and still get LTE, otherwise it shows 3G, H, H+ and LTE on the T889V. The other place I've seen it have an effect is in the network settings where it'll show GSM/WCDMA/LTE instead of GSM/WCDMA.
I've used Odin before, I have a download jig (two paralleled leftover 620kOhm resistors and a Sparkfun breakout board) and I've tarred my own images before with Cygwin.
To get the necessary files, I downloaded the stock T889V, I317M (Canadian LTE Note II variant, the one that'd actually be sold by VMC if they ever do.) and T889 ROMs from Sammobile.
My initial attempt to flash the I317M modem through Odin (as a standalone image) gave a fail before the phone began the actual writing process, i. e. it transferred the radio image without any issues. Later experiments show that only the T889V modem tar flashes with Odin, the T889 one doesn't either. Same goes for the whole, original Sammobile images, the modem partitions fail if you're cross-flashing.
I then used CWM with an update zip sourced here on XDA that included a "flash_image" binary to flash the 317M LJ2 modem. I used it to prep T889 and 889V zips as well. Rebooted the phone, it connected and gave me LTE, network icon and all. The before and after speedtests went from 3.5 to 35 Mbps. I did check and my IMEI showed 0 instead of, well, my IMEI.
No big deal, or so I thought, I'll just restore /efs in CWM, reflash the T889V modem and carry on. NOT.
The phone immediately started bootlooping, and the only way I initially got it to stop was to flash an N7100 boot.img. The S-Pen didn't work, nor did any networking apart from wifi. Getting QPST to talk to the phone was a bust as well; the hen and the egg.
I tried different combinations and couldn't fix the problem. (My flash counter sits well over 20 now.)
I got another poster (deeznutz1977) to send me his T889 NV backup (sans IMEI) the other day. I later had the idea of reflashing the I317M modem again, which did not boot loop after all (there may have been a matter of wiping /cache and Dalvik cache at the right time).
This time dialcode *#7284#, selecting "Qualcomm USB Settings" then selecting "RNDIS + DM + MODEM" worked. I could get the programs talking with the phone. I inserted my IMEI in deeznutz1977's backup, wrote that to the phone and rebooted.
The phone doesn't bootloop anymore, my IMEI is back, as is service on my current carrier. Plus, this configuration still works with AWS HSPA. The one catch is that bootloops resume if I reflash the T889V modem through either CWM or Odin.
I made a few more speed tests before writing this and managed to get an average 45 Mbps down and 12 up along with a 40 ms ping.
Hope that answered a few of your questions.
Regards,
Darkshado

Wow... thank you for taking your time and explaining everything... really, thank you... so you managed to completely transform your T889V into a I317M... that's why it now bootloops if flashing the original T889V... as it would if you really had an I317M... is that right?
you don't have access to a sim with the t-mobile band in order to test for just a minute?
So... here is my story... maybe I can help here with the transformation of T889 to I317 and viceversa... (or maybe an hybrid modem like the one for the Note 1)
-> I have both the AT&T I317 and the T-Mobile T889...
-> I also have both with dual sim card adapters...
-> I also have 1 Unlimited everything T-Mobile sim card & 2 AT&T unlimited everything sim cards...
I want to be able to keep the T889 with 1 sim -> working LTE on AT&T and the 2nd sim -> ready for future T-Mobile LTE...both sims in the dual sim card adapter on the same phone of course (I also want to sell the I317) just keep one universal LTE Note 2
What can I do here? Willing to sacrifice whatever I need to... in order to accomplish my objective... This will help everyone here on both carriers...
As for now... I have noted that while navigating on both phones thru the service menu... the I317 says ENS: ENABLED and the T889 says ENS: DISABLED ... searched on google... no answer.... ENS stands for? Emergency Notification System? lol
Is there anything I can do here since I own both phones... that can sort things out in order to unlock the LTE feature on the Tmobile variant? or is that something we all just have to wait for the carrier to do via OTA? Is there any modded modem that can solve this? Your I317M modem... can it do something here for the T889?
On the pictures the one on the left is the I317 and on the right the T889... both with AT&T sims at the moment of the picture. If I go outside, the AT&T Note 2 will get 4G icon (LTE) and the T-Mobile Note 2 will stay in HSPA+...
I have MTP + ADB on both phones when using code *#7284# also... is there anything useful in this code besides unlocking phone? *#197328640# ??? Diagnostic mode here... *#0*# any more codes?
First, im from Australia.
i bought the galaxy note 10.1 (2014) LTE second hand few months ago, didnt see any branding on box or bloatwares. its 4G version, local stock (seller said from dicksmith). i tried with voda simcard and it works, both call and data. i cant remember if i tried with other simcard at that time....
it had 4.4.2 originally, but then i flashed 5.1.1 nordic rom via odin yesterday - dirty flashed.
all good, flashed ok, connected to wifi fine and start downloading updates, etc.
the voda sim card is still working fine, i got 4G signal and able to make calls, etc.
BUT
today i tried to swap simcard with telstra, and it didnt recognised! there is no warning something like "network locked" or something like that, it didnt connected to the network, cant make call or get data.
also with tpg simcard, doesnt work either.
weird. any idea why? is it possible the flashing process has somehow locked the simcard tablet can use (in this case, voda)?
after trying with different sim card from different provider, now im 99% sure mine is LOCKED~!!!
anyone know how to unlocked?
Hi All,
I'm looking for help with this odd issue I can't seem to solve:
SGS-I747M, originally from Bell, unlocked and flashed with Telus stock firmware; testing with Telus SIM card. Only able to _functionally_ connect to HSPA(+) network: when trying to get LTE, the phone shows "LTE" but no internet, no SMS; I'm able to place/receive phone calls.
Tried editing the LTE-related NV items (as referenced elsewhere on this forum) -- the changes don't stick, and the values revert to the original (interestingly, they are the same as on an original Telus phone that gets LTE no problem!).
I made sure the modem is from Telus stock ROM.
This issue is obviously not a show-stopper, and the phone would be totally usable on Telus network, but I'm just curious: the hardware is the same, the software is the same... what the heck is the issue?
Could someone plz point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Alex
You have an LTE card? I have Public Mobile which is a Telus sub that runs off the Telus towers and I can get LTE on a stock i747m.

Of course. It is my primary, Telus "proper" card. I get LTE on a former Rogers unlocked I337M stock Lollipop, as well as a former Rogers unlocked I747M with stock 4.3 (not to mention the Telus I747Ms I have... I rescued all my other phones from a trash bin, restored the glass on some, swapped motherboards and screens on some).
APN settings are also correct.
thoughts?
If all of the parts are original and there is no damage, I'm at a loss as to why there is no connection on LTE.
Have you tried changing the csc to telus using the dialler menu? Maybe it needs the stock telus ROM?

CSC = TLS. So I'm at a loss as well. Hence the question to the community
