[Q] KitKat Upgrade - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

If I switch to TMobile now will I still get the KitKat update from ATT when it is released? Using ATT Note 2 unlocked.

Negative..
The carrier dependent information will be different when using the ATT device on T-Mobile....
You'll need the MK7 modem to get the device working...along with the t-mobile sim card...
ATT will not recognize the device...g

Wait. Are you saying he would have to flash the t mobile modem too? In order to use phone on t mobile?

I'm on t mobile now and did not change anything. Using the MK6 modem that came with the 4.3 ATT upgrade a while back.
Only functionality that I lost was hotspot that is blocked by some ATT system files.

No issues if you are on the tmo network...
Many users have ATT devices using mk7 modems for tmo...
It's the only way to get full device function...
But if an ATT modem is working fine for you...there is no problem leaving it if you prefer...g

I see. I'm gonna give it a try then. Always been hesitant due to all the warnings about bootloops from @Bajanman and others...

Flashed mk7. No signal. Baseband unknown. That sucks
Back to mk6 and no LTE.

Just flash the Jedi X8 to get rid of the tmobile stuffs. There are too many stories of boot loop after flashing different modem to phones for other carriers.

quick question!

what's our newest firmware or bootloader? I'm seeing MJ5 in TMO Dev Threads for ROMs and to my understanding that was only for the international phone. I used to be able to flash all the i9505 ROMs but now with 4.3 I've been told not to. Data goes in and out unless you have MJ5 and I really want to run the i9505 4.3 ROMs. It even increases WiFi and data signals too significantly.
I think I have old software since I haven't updated bootloader or anything since march.
anyone care to share some light here?

MDL is the latest official firmware / bootloader for the T-Mobile S4.
MJ5 is indeed an International firmware, but as you said, data goes in and out when the phone goes to sleep.

Service Menu on TW 4.3

I've been looking to any method just to get to the service menu i used to get access when I was on 4.1.x roms everywhere but no dice, the same menu to unlock the network back on 4.1.1
This was the code on 4.1

Ota update??
One click Rom flash?
Flashed a custom Rom?
And what it'd your purpose for that hidden menu?
Btw I'm on 4.3 and all those codes work on my phone!

I'm using 4.3 miscom's custom rom just trying to change my LTE band, i used to change it from the service mode main menu. Maybe you're right it might be the rom itself
What rom are you using so i can try that one instead?

Yep. That is a port from international rom. Like Bajanman said. Please provide a screen shot depicting modem. Looking for Baseband version.
We may be able to tweak build.prop. Maybe.

Yep, it was the previous rom, i flashed skynote vanilla and now i have it back, the modem it's a I317m modem which is for my variant
I'm thinking you need to flash the J2 modem since this was the last one that wasn't RAT restricted.

Will I lose unlock if I upgrade?

I'm running this phone on the tmobile network after I downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1 to unlock the phone. That worked perfectly and I'm now in tmobile with LTE and everything. My question: if I upgrade back to 4.3 will that lock the phone once again? I wouldn't want to go through the process again if it meant I would be locked from using my phone. I ask because of security issues with 4.1.1

I have never ported the roms... I do think if you use any of my roms or from other dev it should just work without any issues, all u need to do is just check ur apn settings to make sure everything is correct so u can get data and mms working. so just make a backup first, then flash the rom..

The problem is I like the t mobile roms. But they won't work on the at&t n3. Because of the locked bootloader and kernel. Otherwise I can just flash it without any issues.

SafeStrap only for your ATT device. Even if you port over successful, you will always have a locked bootloader. Sorry

How about if I change the bootloader and kernel in the rom to the nc2 at&t version. Do you think that might work and I will get a fully functioning port?
