Just like the title, is it safe to install any N7100 roms to T889 without LTE?
Thanks

how can you have a t889 without LTE?

I can't speak for the OP but if he is like me, the question would be if TMO does not have LTE service in your area anyway, (HSPA only) then would it be OK to install the N7100 roms? That may not be what he meant, but that is a valid question from my point of view. Here in my part of the world, they still don't have LTE, but pretty good HSPA (or HSPA+)
Thanks

Will the Canadian Note 2 (T889V) work with ROMs from T-Mobile's Note 2 T889? and is there any difference in hardware and modem?
Yes, but you will want to flash your providers rom.

are there any hardware differences? (im guessing the modem could be different, but no one would know without doing an teardown)
I'm sure they are the same. I mean, ATTi317 and T889 are the same. Only difference would be carrier I guess.
I know there was a guy selling a SGS3 T999V which was able to get dumbphone data on att/Tmo.
And if roms can be flashed between i317/n7100/T889, why not on the T889V

the thing is that it seems people with tmo variant get bootloops when they flash t889v modem
which seems rather odd, as this shouldnt happen if the hardware is the same
The T889 roms should work fine on the V, but I could see why they might not work other way around. IMO, there is no point in running V roms on my T889.
Does the T mobile version have an FM radio? (the Canadian version T889V does not have an FM reserve)

Because I'm looking to buy an S3 and the only ones that are selling used around here are i747. I want to use it with Wind Mobile which uses the T999 because they use AWS frequencies.
I747 baseband doesn't support AWS.
If you're planning on using Wind, stick with T999/T999V

As I already stated, the i747 is the only phone that people are selling. Also, the i747 has the hardware to work for Wind Mobile technically because it uses AWS for LTE in my region. It may very well be possible to install the T999 baseband/modem to an i747 to use AWS for 3G voice communication. I've ready about it working for the S2 between the LTE and T989 versions.

I read your post. I know what you stated. I was simply reiterating what you've obviously read on a hundred other threads: they have different baseband and modems, some have different portions disabled per each carrier model. What you've also discovered is that everyone asks this question but there is no confirmed response because no one has actually tried it. Either be a pioneer and give it a shot, just keep wondering or buy a T999. Lots have been asking your same question since the phone released last June but not a single hero

It may have worked with the SII and some other models; maybe it will also work on the i747 in the future. But for the moment, work is still in progress. A complete modem switch that sticks after reboot does not work as of now for the i747.

I did not do this intentionally. But, it looks like i installed SlimBean ROM into my T999 and it went on to become a i747. The otherwise should also be possible . Please check that out.
Hello,
Has a T999 modem been successfully flashed to a i747m yet? I'm looking to switch to Wind Mobile but dont want to have to buy a different phone just for that.
Hello
Is it possible to flash T-Mobile M919 radio on an international galaxy S4 I9505 to get T-Mobile LTE ?
Did anybody do that successfully ?
Thanks
I haven't heard of anyone attempting that so I will definitely say no to that and I wouldn't recommend trying it

No, it's not just the radio, the hardware supports different bands; it won't work.
You will only get edge.

What I understand is : I9505 and M919 have the exact same hardware, the difference is in the radio file which makes the 2 devices have different LTE band. I believe the only difference is the radio programming which makes the difference but wanted to see if anybody manged to do it actually.
Many AT&T Galaxy s2 users flash T-Mobile radio and get T-Mobile AWS bands on their devices.

I'm telling you because I had the i9505, I only got Edge. You will get 4G (NOT LTE) in SOME areas where the network has been reframed.
I see. Thanks exel
Too bad I was thinking to buy it but if it's not gonna work with T-Mobile LTE that's a deal breaker although my city is 99% refarmed, but LTE is something else !
Didn't you try flashing a T-Mobile radio (or any mod) to make it happen ?

Did you have the guts to try this in the end? I am thinking about flashing the M919 modem on my I9505 to see if I can get T-Mobile LTE in New York City.
I'm in the very same situation, and the thing is i've been hearing conflicting stories and accounts of people saying that it doesn't work, to others saying that they managed to get the 4g /lte working somehow, either through aws band ,or other software tweaks... I just want a concrete answer as to whether or not it's possible and if so how to do eet ? otherwise i just have an expensive smartphone that only gets 3mbps dwn, and 1mbps up at best on t mobiles h+

Can we flash a rom from the n7100 or the n7105 onto the i317? Will everything work like lte and what not? TIA
7105 will most likley work but 7100 would probably leave you with a brick. If you can help it try to stick to i317/m roms
so i317m roms will work? does anything have to be done to a n7105 rom?

Ya the m is just the Canadian carrier variant. There is nothing physically different between it and the at&t version. It depends on the rom. Some might work perfectly others will need a modem / new apn's or might not work at all. Honestley stay in this section unless you absolutely have to
Ok i just never understood what the difference between the international version and the att version of any phone was. Why cant samsung just make one phone for all the markets? Why does the international one get more developer support?
well the 7100 and 7105 are both "International" but the 5 supports LTE while the 0 is only HSPA+ iirc. And they cant make one phone for all markets because everyone uses different bands and every carrier has different needs

This^^^^^^^^^^ HERE:thumbup:
Making one phone for all! Not happening! And there's also the different modems that actually talk to the cell towers. That's another thing that makes them different. And that's what can brick your phone flashing the wrong Rom with modern included!

Hello, I have a LG G3 D855 SEA V20c running 5.0. I'm looking for permanent fix for LTE. I'm located in Montreal, Canada running on the Rogers network. I recently rooted the phone . I'm looking for suggestions on how to best achieve this.
I have tried the 3845#*855# method but it has to be redone whenever the phone restarts also you get limited 4G coverage with this phone variant
Thanks,
John

Im just trying to help and apologize if you have already done this but i believe Rogers uses a slightly different apn setting for lte. I havent been with the carrier for over a year now so make sure you got the right settings! If it isnt that then im guessing you are referring to the difference in cellular bands. I do know that USA carriers use a different lte band than us canadians and that for the note 3 devices there was a way to unlock the qualcom chip to enable it but i have not seen such things for the g3 as of yet. Hope i helped:good:

Please check the signals that the 4G band for Rodgers runs on
Sometimes the D855 international variant does not include the signal band that LTE runs on

Hi thanks for your response. I'm using the lte apn and band 7. I get limited lte coverage mostly H and 3g
Then probably its a APN issue

So do you get lte sometimes? If so it may just be Rogers garbage lte coverage.

My note 2 get's excellent LTE coverage. I think I will flash it with the stock HK rom, I think I will have better LTE control and hopefully better coverage.
