I want to flash CM onto my SGH-T999, but the latest CM nightly is from February. I recently flashed SlimKat and they consolidated d2tmo and the other s3 models under d2lte. Would this apply to CM as well?
Also is a nightly basically a rom that is still buggy and therefore needs to be reflashed every so often when a new nightly is available? Would I have to wipe and reset my phone each time?
Thanks in advance.
CM is the one that merged all d2 devices to d2lte so yes.. And you don't have to wipe and reset every time you flash a nightly, but just remember you may experience a few bugs if you don't from time to time
Canadian T999V
I have a very similar question and I saw this thread and decided not to open a brand new one, but will the dtlte also work for the Canadian t999v, I just want to make sure so I don't brick my device. Going to be flashing it tonight. \
Update: I just flashed the M9 stable, works. Very Nice

I've been working on this and searching for two weeks now and have found nothing that matches our exact problem or fixes it. I've been rooting/flashing phones for years so I'm not new to this but this is definitely a new problem for me... I'm helping a friend flash Cyanogenmod on his Note 2 and have been working on it solid for the past 2 days to no avail.
Phone: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889)
Problem: No APN in Cyanogenmod, unable to create one/save, unable to restore APN from backed up APN from stock rom.
Thoughts: I believe that the problem lies in the fact that I can't save the APN which may have to do with the way the newer rom deals with APN's or with the way that it interfaces with the SIM card.
Currently I have the phone flashed with CWM touch and I have backup's of the stock rom which is rooted and also of Cyanogenmod 10.1 for N7100. This is the only ROM i've been able to get flashed on the phone and it seems that this is what rom manager tells you to install so I think this is the right one. I've also seen other DIY's that tell you to use the t0lte rom but that one fails the device check before flashing.
Stock Rom: When we have the stock rom flashed, everything works fine. There is a valid APN and we have no problems.
CyanogenMod: When we flash back to this rom or flash from an image, there is no cell signal. When you check the APN's there are none. We are unable to manually create an APN. If you enter the info, press menu button and click save, it does not error but does not save the APN. We are also unable to restore the APN with APN Backup & Restore. I've set the restore app as a system app and ignore the ICS warning as you are supposed to do and it appears to be writing the APN data but afterwards when you check, there is still no APN.
The only thing I have left is to go figure out how to check the logs after I try to save the APN. I'm not sure how to do this yet so I'm going to go learn how to do that now but I'm hoping someone might have some insight into this issue before I have to go down that road...
If I've left out any useful information please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help!!! I've used this community forum for many years but this will be one of my first posts... I'm truly stumped.
Also, this may be important. I started reading into modems and such thinking that the modem may not be compatible or may not be able to interface with the sim card and I found that when you check the baseband version in Cyanogenmod, it says Unknown.
Maybe this is becuase it is an i7100 ROM on a T889 device?
When you flash a Cyanogenmod ROM, does it flash the appropriate modem with it? Also, when you back up your rom in CWM, does that backup/restore the modem?

ROMS do not include modems. I think you should be flashing the 7105 not 7100

Ok, good to know. And it always seems to happen this way but I think I've solved the problem. Regarding 7105 vs 7100 however, not sure I've seen the 7105, nor have I seen any diy's that instruct you to use that rom on the tmobile T889. Is that a variant or something?
I was reading more on the wiki for cyanogenmod and saw someone post the same problem where the t0lte rom wouldn't flash through CWM. They suggested flashing TWRP, which I did and it worked perfectly. We have cell signal and everything!
So if you're having the same issue flashing the t0lte Cyanogenmod 10.1 to a Galaxy Note 2 (T-Mobile) try flashing through TWRP recover instead of CWM.

The only ROMS that will work on the TMO variant are ROMS based on the T889 source or the 7105 source. The CM is based on the 7105 source.

Very good to know. Thanks for the quick replies and help!!
We realized 4g wasn't working and attempted flashing a newer modem which I'm sure helped but didn't fix the 4g problem. Flashing a newer nightly did however resolve the issue... Hopefully that info will help someone else...
I recently had the same problem in my recently owned Galaxy S2 Skyrocket after trying the first Rom which is Cyanogenmod 10.2 Stable with UCMC1 radio.
I figured that the problem had something to do with my provider, so i sorted it just putting it in airplane mode before adding the APN. Theres one little catch, you cant access the Mobile Settings button while you are in airplane more, so you just open the APN list window before putting it in airplane mode via the quick launch menu,, then the apn will save with no problem.
I hope this is useful, ch33rz!:silly:
Hey all, I am runnig a rooted stock LS980, with TWRP, I just got an OTA push tonight, and I am not going to flash it, but I hate the notification so I guess I am going to flash a custom rom instead of waiting until I get home. Which rom do you all recommend?
I am thinking pac-rom, but the most recent nightly was 7/10, but there is a build called pac_ls980-dev-20140730 can anyone tell me what this is?
Also I cannot find the Gapps to pacrom?
Do you recommend cyanogenmod or AOKP and why? which version should I flash and Gapps???
Thank you!

You dont have to swap roms to lose the notification. Just swipe down and click and hold the notification, open the app info and select the notification check mark off.
Personally I enjoyed the Liquid Smooth rom, it was very fast. And any standard gapps file for your version of android should be fine. Just remember to flash the ZV8 radio if you are going with an AOSP rom. Or flash dr87s kernel. And not to sure what that build of pac-rom is. And I enjoyed Cyanogen for a bit, they are always working on new things, you know that there's going to be a fix to any problems that arise. And I love the blue look. But everyone uses roms for different things, I mainly use stock, rooted with xposed framework.
Why not try them all?

I am pretty comfy with cyanogenmod, I have used it since I got my HP touchpad two years ago, however I prefer pac-rom.
can I get the ZV8 radio link please? what is the dr87s kernel? good or bad? I am running kernel 3.4., but i believe to be a JDI kerel, and not LGD because I flashed the white lines fix.
CM11 is a great ROM, but I will warn you, if you're in an area with Spark (B26 of B41), ZV8 radio wont connect to those automatically. If you're wanting to keep Spark enabled, I'd recommend Slim or Mahdi until CM11 updates their kernel to support the newer modems.
Also, newest Mahdi/Slim will auto detect your display during installation so you will not need to worry about having a JDI panel.
EDIT: Here's Mahdi's Thread and here's SlimKat's Thread. They both use Dr87's kernel which is boss.
What Ascertion said is spot on, but here is the link for a zv8 radio. It also contains a lot of useful information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627765

So, If I were to flash Slimrom, and the Gapps, do I have to flash the dr87 kernel as well as the ZV8 radio?
in the install directions it says to wipe everything, however i was told not to wipe system before when flashing a rom... should I or shouldn't I?
Super g2 is the best

I have a sprint galaxy s3 SPHL710PUDND8 and cannot get any of them to install it and I went rummaging through the installer scripts and realized they worked for every model but mine. I added my phone model to the list (I know maybe not the best idea) and it aborted the installation and refused to do anything. So my question is, is there anything else I can do to the Rom I currently have to get it to work or is there a specific version of CM I need to get? I am currently updated to the latest 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sprint and have Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.5 installed.
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte
I would suggest the Snapshot M12 as that will be the most stable over the nightlies.
Thanks but I am currently using the latest nightly. I saw this already on YouTube an hour after I posted this. But thanks anyway. I'll leave this up for anyone else who may have this problem.
I see that the nightly branch for the d2lte has not been updated for a while.
Can I use the d2tmo builds for my d2lte?
I'm guessing I will lose LTE capabilities. What about 4G?
Anything else I would lose? If it even works for my phone that is.
Thanks!
Yes, it will work, I am using it just fine on my D2lte.. for the speeds I am get H+ data.. is that close to 4G?

I think H+ is slower than 4G but faster than 3G. Not that it matters in my case though since 4G pretty much sucks in my country.
So what should I do? I have the latest TWRP and latest nightly build for the d2lte.
Just download the latest 12.1 nightly for the d2tmo and flash?

Just to be safe make sure you are on a 4.4 ROM before you do. and yea just the usual flash method.. remember to wipe it clean.

Thanks man. I upgraded successfully. Not sure I like Lollipop that much though. Seems to run smoother which is a plus. I guess I'll have to unlearn a ton of stuff. :victory:

I like the easter egg. you could play flappy bird from it Lollipop is ok for me.. it takes away lock screen short cuts tho. i barely used it anyway The thing i dont like is the Data toggle switch it takes 2 clicks vs. wifi it takes only 1.
I have to bump this thread since the d2tmo 5.1 builds are not working for me.
I was able to flash just fine but modem is not working. I cannot connect to my provider via normal cellphone nor data.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I could flash my d2lte with a d2tmo CM12.1 build and then flash it with the latest modem for my phone: TMOGalaxyS3LTE_UVUBNC1_Modem.zip
Would this work or would I brick it somehow?
Thanks!

What modem is currently on your phone? You may need to update your d2lte bootloader and modem to the latest kit kat to resolve the issue.

I reverted back to the last available CM 11 nightly for d2lte and newest modem for the LTE which is TMOGalaxyS3LTE_UVUBNC1_Modem and everything is working again.
I'm currently on TWRP 2.8.7.0.
So if I understood correctly, it would be safe for me to flash my d2lte with the cm 12.1 d2tmo builds and then flash it with the s3 lte modem?
Thanks
The latest d2tmo rom may not work unless you flash the d2tmo rom followed by a d2lte kernel.
I do recommend cross flashing the modems between the two phones.
Flashing cm12.1 builds does not change the phone's modem or bootloader.
Hello, i am having trouble flashing the latest build of Dirty Unicorns for my note 4 sprint variant. The latest build i flashed 8-18-15 (i think) Goes through the normal boot, then starts to optimize the apps, but before it can do that, it reboots.
So i thought about trying an earlier build, i flashed the 7-x-xx build they have, does the same thing, but then optimizes the full 92 apps, then reboots. any ideas as to why? i would greatly appreciate the help.
*note* the build is a 5.1.1 build, i am currently on the 0g5 firmware for note 4 (rooted).
