Could someone explain why there is this forum (Tmobile) vs the other note 2 forum.? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just wondering why there are a few forums for the note 2... I understand there is one for sprint, att etc... But can I go to this forum and downloaded a rom and have it work perfectly in the US with Tmobile?

Rom in question

OP please do ALL the research before you download and flash ANYTHING. You will see Samsung released many variants of the same model and most have very different hardware than the others. Most software is NOT compatible from one to the other therefore there are separate forums to keep people from flashing the wrong things. Stick to only your carrier until you do enough research to find out how to flash an international ROM on T-Mobile. There are other threads outlining this and you should search for those and read them to see what features you may lose by doing so.

the rom link is for the non lte 7100 note 2.
so Iwould not flash a international rom designed for the 7100.

GT-N7105 t0lte and SGH-T889 t0ltetmo are compatible stick with that roms
Always read first and good to make a full nandroid backup if you're not unsure of what you're doing

DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.
ONLY FLASH THE ROMS IN THIS FORUM!

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.
think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.
Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

AMEN!! Some fool I know ALREADY called me with a bricked gs3! I'm gonna sit back and let the pros do their thing, and that's DEFINITELY the safest bet!
thanks for the reminder and jsut to make sure ....
i have rogers sgh-i747
i want to be in this AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III - xda-developers thread for everything correct ?
and not in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 thread ?
I keep seeing posts about ROMs that can work on these variants of galaxy S3s. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the ROMs supposed to be specific to GSM or CDMA? When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.
I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise
Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

I use it for the Vibrant

Will there ever be any SGH-T999V development?
Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?
Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

What about using i9300 themes and mods? Will this cause constant FCs or other issues?

I am curious of this too. I have the wind mobile galaxy s 3 and I was hoping to put cyanogenmod on it. Is this possible? Let me know, any help would be appreciated.

I'm more curious as to what exactly the differences are between the 2 variants (i.e. t999 vs t999v). What could possibly make them so different from each other that ROMs from tmobile wouldn't work on wind GS3?
What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

Thanks for the link, unfortunately the phone will not go into download mode for odin, it won't even turn on.
After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

[Q] Rom Variants

Hi All,
Quick question is it possible to use any rom from any note 2 variant. Like say using an international rom on Tmobile, or ATT rom on TMobile note Ect..
Thanks
If possible is there anything in particular that needs to be done?

You can use the roms from the N7105, but not the N7100. The roms from the AT&T version should work as well, with a modem flash for TMO.

My advice would be to read thru some of the threads before starting another one. Your answer is already there, laziness here leads to bricks and flames. Good day to you.

Thanks for the info and FYI,
Also FYI maybe if there was a main thread with all that info that would be easier to look at, just like the international version has a thread like that.

[Q] Can you flash GT-N7100 roms on the T-mobile SGNII

Sup XDA,
I know there are involved ways of getting GT-N7100 roms on the T-mobile SGNII but are you able to flash straight across? I googled a bit and searched xda a bit and found some radio discussion but that's about it as I am at work at the moment. I did find a few details about flashing all but the radio and kernel for Sprint roms but that was it.
Any info? Found this site with tons of GT-N7100 roms on it: http://www.grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2.html#galaxy-note-2-roms

Yes you can flash N7105 ROMs on your T889. They're pretty much the same phone just the N7105 is the international version. Pretty much any ROM you see for t0lte is safe to flash on N7105/ T-Mo/AT&T Note 2's. There is a list of ROMs in the dev section also. Just make sure you always have a backup of your current ROM in case you run into any trouble.

If the rom does not have a option to retain your current radio.. after you flash the rom . you will have to flash the correct t- mobile radio ..
So read the OP Post carefully in that rom thread. or ask the op about this..There have been people say they have lost imei number due to incorrect radio.. So understand what you are doing first..
If your not experienced with android and so on. Its SAFER TO STAY With roms in the development area of this forum... Thou some in the other forums do state to work with what your asking..
Its not always the same for every rom. so there is really not a true yes or no answer to the question..
as said above they will all work.. but might need modem change

Yeah any ROM for t0lte is going to be AOSP, which is pure Google I.e. nexus devices. AOSP ROMs dontn have spen features or multi window features. So if you want those features and want an international based ROM I suggest JediX 16. It can be found in the Dev thread here. It's Samsung TW so it has all the functionality you need and had the latest N7105 4.1.2 base. So check it out. Hope I didn't confuse you.

N7105 can use all AT&T Roms?

Hi there,
Sorry for this quick post without fully checking all the forum posts on my phone, but I just want to guarantee one thing.
I have an N7105. Is it true I can use any of the AT&T roms on this forum and flash the modem afterwards through CWM to make it work? Because the N7105 forums are very dated and my main ROM (CleanROM 4.9) moved over to this forum, so I was wondering if I could use these other ROMs from this forum as well.
Much help appreciated,
Nicholas

Yes just flash a kernel and modem for you own device afterwards.. Modem may not even be necessary (as most roms do not include a modem), so just the csc files for your carrier
I have flashed a few n7105 roms (moonrom, etc..)
