I recently got my Note 2 and am having trouble figuring out what baseband I should be on as I'm having reception issues and was hoping I might need updated.
It's the AT&T T0LTE and it's unlocked. I'm running the latest CM11 nightlies. I'm on Straight Talk and using the T-Mobile sim. (Same issue with AT&T sim)
Currently running:
(Android 4.4.4, CM 11-20141007-NIGHTLY-t0lte, CWM 6.0.4.1)
(Baseband I317UCALJ2)
I've been searching but am having trouble finding good info on the modems and such. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks!
So I updated to i317UCUCNE5. Is this the latest? It made data work alot better, but im still having issues with actual calls from the house. My S2 works fine in the house for calls with the same sim, note 2 has issues though.
The [URL http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att]ATT Galaxy Note II[/URL] is the I317 not the N7105. ATT Modems you are already using the most recent one though (UCUCNE5) I have bad reception with this device too so I cannot help you there.

Oh ok, In about phone it says GT-N7105... i did notice the radio had the I317 in it.. Honestly it's a hacked together phone where I work at a phone shop. Its a T-mobile chasis and cover with what I assume is an ATT motherboard because that's the carrier that came up with i searched the IMEI was ATT. This motherboard had Omni loaded on it so I never got to see it in stock form.
On average this phone gets a 20db worse signal then my S2 with the same SIM. I get poor reception with the S2 at home, can't make any calls on the note2 at home. It works great everywhere else. Maybe it's just the phone, can't find any bad connections inside that could cause it, even tried another antenna cable.
Thanks for your input!
Hey, since this phone came unlocked.. im thinking it is the n7105 and not the i317. It was modded when I got it, so with that said. What radio should the n7105 be running? Maybe the i317 radio was flashed to this and that's my issue?
Your phone should have no signal and an unknown baseband using the I317 modems if it wasn't that model. I have no idea what modems the N7105 uses you could try searching the development thread for modems.
Cool thanks, i got it figure out. The model stuff anyway. It is an I317. I'm about to ODIN back to stock, take the OTA's and wipe it clean and see if that helps my signal issues. Has the I317UCAMH3 bootloader so shouldnt have any issues downgrading this initial time. Hopefully this will help the Frankenphone from hell.

First of all i wanna say, you all do an amazing job with all of this. So ive been looking around the forums and i cant find an answer to my question, so i will post and wait for replay. i have the at&t version (i747) of the gs3 and had updated to 4.1.1 via kies. early march i found a post on your forums about sim/carrier unlocking and tried it out. it worked w/o any problems, so i headed to t-mobile to jump on their monthly unlimited 4g plan. installed sim and had no problems. all functions work: calls, im, sms, mms, data (edge, 3g, and HSPA+), everything. on march 17th, i decided to try out a custom rom. i odin rooted my phone with cwm then tried out [ROM][4.2.2][STABLE] LiquidSmooth v2.1 - d2att - 3|16|13. works absolutely fine. sorry for the long wind but i just want to make sure i give all info before posting my question as i may prevent unness replies. having an at&t phone using tmobile as the carrier, can i use roms intended for t-mobile only, or do i have to stick to at&t/multi-carrier roms only?
Honestly making sure you have a T-Mobile put in is all that matters. Other than that they are fairly interchangeable.

I have been making roms, from Canada claro i747m, and tmobile t999 and att 747 and they all work as they should. no problems at all, using stock att modem i747ucdlk3 without any issues...
all I did was change the build prop to represent d2att..
I have simplemobile which is a tmobile company.. except for now I just used up my 4g.. I usually get 3g, but for some reason im getting an E which speed is like 2g edge.. slow at the moment.. never seen that in 3 months..
check my signature, for my roms... they r all stock original roms..
I'm in the same situation as the op. I have at&t i747 unlocked to use with tmobile. My question is, if I flash a multi-rom What carrier do I choose during the aroma install? do I pick tmobile because thats what network im using now or do I pick at&t because its originally an at&t device? any help or advice would be greatly aprecciated.
during the install of liquidsmooth i chose att since i do have the branded phone. i cant use the lte settings for network cause tmob doesnt have their lte out yet (soon to drop), but i am wanting to try the tmobile install and see if i get any difference in data speeds. other than that, liquidsmooth is a pretty solid build. this is the only rom i have tried on my gs3 so far. id like to try others to maybe help give feedback for builders, i just wasnt sure if i could use tmobile or had to stick to att roms. thanks for the info.
on a side note, the rom unlocked a 1080p video record and i like showing ppl the OC ability. 1.9Ghz. YAY!!!
when I first made my Canada Claro rom d2can everything worked out the box. the only thing was it was showing me info of I747m, everything was still working, same when I made my tmobile rom, it was showing d2tmo, everything worked out the box, just that it showed me info of T999, so both of the roms worked, all I did was change the build prop to represent d2att ATT info..
So the answer is yes, u can use other roms... just be careful not to install the modem. I never changed that. I remove them from the rom.
Danger,, I tried making the international GT I9300 and removed the modem, changed the build prop.. almost bricked my phone, played with it to try to make it work, It would hang and sometimes not boot up... so stay away from international one.
so if u try Canada or tmobile u should be safe, its the same phones... or if someone post roms that are ported to att i747.
I am using i747 for T-Mobile.
Can somebody tell me what ROM i should use in order to get WIFI Calling on it ?
Thank you.
Just like the headers says,
I unlocked my tmobile phone a few days ago, I had to downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 in order to do so. Problem is that although it shows att on my lock screen, when i try to upgrade back to 4.1.2 it tries to go to tmobile's servers instead of going to att and upgrading to their software. I also get an invalid sim error when i turn on wifi calling and i have no 4GLTE....just 4G. I setup and saved a couple of APN's but it still tries to upgrade from tmobile. Texting and MMS work good and i have tried all of the standard settings on the phone with no luck as well. Am i correct in guessing that it is not the hardware but instead is the software trying to phone back to tmobile. I want a simple factory image from att,BUT my phone is an 889 and i am not sure what image to flash to it. It is also at the moment rooted but if it unroots after the flash i will just re-root it afterwards.
What i am hoping for is that if i get att's software on it ,it will upgrade from att.
Thanks.
Sounds of your trying to upgrade from the phone it self. don't
Dude just flash a stock Rom, clean Rom is what most use. You'll find it in the development section. That way you don't have all the bloat that AT&T adds in the firmware.. JUST make sure it has no modem, cuz that you don't want to do!!.
You don't want to flash a AT&T modem on a T-Mobile GN2. Would just give you boot loops..
Your IN the same boat my buddy was in. He has the same phone you do. So I flashed a AT&T custom Rom on his phone after the unlock process. Then after a few days told him to upgrade back to the newest modem from TMO.
As a side note I changed his model in his build prop to a I317. Just too c what would happen. But lo and behold I had his phone next to mine the other day. LTE area, checked mine and his we're both on AT&T LTE network. LTE 14
Oh yeah let me state that I did no AWS bands unlocking thing. Was just kinda amazed that he was getting LTE from att, on a TMO GN2.

Hi i have Galaxy s3 ATT i747 unlocked and every ROM i install give me 3G.. If i leave stock ROM it gives me 4G with know problems.. Is there any fix i can do that will give me 4G and modem i can install. Im on tmobile network
Can you see your IMEI number? I lost mine while flashing roms and the network couldn't recognize my phone, so it booted me down to 3g (but I'm on ATT).

Do your roms have the correct apn's?
I'm having connectivity challenges when trying 4.2.2 roms on Rogers w/ my i747m.
Tried most of the recommended modems on for i747m (complete modem list) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
with CM10.1 and AOKP Task650.
The result, at worst little to no connectivity, at best intermittent connectivity. It doesn't seem to want to switch between towers and getting connectivity better than gprs or edge is pretty much non-existent
When I burn the rooted Rogers ROM - root66_RWC_I747MVLDLK4.tar.md5 I get good connectivity switching and 3G. I haven't seen LTE yet but it was only officially rolled out here 9 days ago so it's still crap and only partially out.
I'm about to roll back to the rooted ROM and apply the latest Canadian patch via KIES and give up on S3 mods. If some kind canadian has the time or inclination a faq/step by step on a S3 rogers install that actually works would be very appreciated. I've tried most of the recipes on XDA, task650, cyanomodgen and can't seem to come up with a working combination that gives me data/phone service that is at least as good as stock.
thanks,
rf

This may be correct. Do other ROMs switch between 3G and H+? Do you see 4G vice 4G LTE on stock rom? What download speeds are you getting on stock and other ROMs? With AT&T, HSPA was labeled 4G instead of H or H+. They had to add LTE to the 4G after LTE went online for them in order to differentiate a difference. The majority of places have HSPA labeled as H or H+ and LTE is considered true 4G. I have noticed that many ROMs will show 3G until data is received/sent and it switches to H+.
Hey everyone, I managed to get an SGH-i317. I live in Italy, thus I had to unlock it - through the hidden menu in Android 4.1.1 - to actually make use of it. Now everything radio-related works fine, except for the fact I can't get 4G LTE internet connection. The phone will only reach H+.
I recon this is a problem with i317's modem, as it probably can only interface with AT&T's 4G band, and my guess is using an N7105 modem might address this issue... assuming it is possible to flash an N7105 modem on a i317 with no hassle.
Now, I've tried to look for something about his topic, but the vague answers I found only confused me even more. Might I ask for help, mates?
Cheers.

Confirming my thought, the i317 works on LTE bands 17 and 4, while in my country LTE is only on bands 3, 7 and 20 - which the N7105 supports.
[UPDATE] I just tried flashing an N7105 modem on my i317... no signal whatsoever, reverted back to AT&T...
Any help?
Hi Everyone,
I brought an unlocked galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 from UK to USA, here I got T-mobile service but unfortunately 3G/4G LTE was not working. I thought i might need to put a custom rom in order to solve this issue. I rooted my phone then installed X-Note rom using CWM recovery, but issue still persisted. It made me so upset that even though it's an LTE model but i m unable to use it. Eventually I found a post that says you can enable T-mobile 4G LTE on AT&T Galaxy S4 phones, it took my attention. I followed the same steps in anticipation to get the same results for my note-3 but it was my biggest mistake. Now I am in BIG TROUBLE, it is unable to show any signals, no network and I don't know what to do.
Please help me, I am stuck in the middle of this NV memory and QPST thing. Somebody help me sort this out.
Thanks
The N9005 does not support T-Mobile's frequencies.
No AWS frequency support on that model.

If you flashed the qcn file for an s4 you're hosed. You'll need to find the original one for your model (which has its own forum, btw) and pray it works.
