Hey guys, I have been having more than normal dropped calls and poor signals so I have decided to move to an actual TMobile ROM.
I am coming from an AT&T based SKy Note Air G2 ROM with the MK7 modem and PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v3.9.5_N7105_4.3_AROMA-signed Kernel, I also had to do a WIFI patch because I upgraded from the 4.1.2 BL to avoid Knox issues. I have TWRP back from March this year. I was wondering if I need to do anything special before installing the JEDI ROM.
Any helpful guides to install this ROM? I have checked the ROM page but couldn't get the info I want.
Can changing back to a ROM native to your carrier help with service signal?

Hello I have a couple questions about my T999L I am running a stock deodexed rom but the baseband and the build #s don't match baseband is MK4 and build MK7 is this a problem ? Also I am on version 4.1.2 I would like to get up to a custom 4.3 Rom what ones can I use? I had to come back to this because my wifi wouldn't work? thank for any help.
Its quiet possible that you had different Modem than your Rom. No issues. It sounds like you got this phone from someone else. They may not have flashed insecure kernel. That's the reason for Wi-Fi Not Working.
So long you don't have signal issues, its fine to keep that modem. As to 4.3 Roms, there's plenty to choose from.
Hello people,
I am sorry I have to make a new thread
I have a t889v note 2 on 4.3, rooted, with videotron 4.3 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975560 rom, baseband T889VVLUCMK4 and I want a piece of that kitkat action. I have used EFS professional to backup NV items because I don't want to end up with a f****d up IMEI number with no reception, but I'm not sure Im in the clear to test out different roms.
This is the reason for my post, I want to know which roms I would be the safest with. I have read so many conflicting posts on this I don't feel confident enough to make a judgement call. Does t0lte roms include any modem that would conflict with my t889v modem/baseband? What about t0ltetmo ? I understand that's the part where t-mobile comes in but this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...06&postcount=8 says I shouldn't ever use t0ltemo, but would t889v not be closer to t889 than GT-N7105 ? In the same thread people are saying they flash t-mobile roms and then just flash the canadian modem on top and it works fine, but I would rather not mess anything up the first time around.
Anyone care enough to help? Basically I just want to know what to look for in my rom selection, I understand I don't want a rom with a built-in modem, but this is conflicting too, omnirom early builds have no modem while later builds have one?

I'm guessing you've been deterred by my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684412
In my experience, ROMs for the GT-N7105 work fine. You can also try other ROMs for AT&T, and Sprint, they are usually ok. I think there are many other posts on this on XDA, so have a look.
The moral of the story is, make sure to back up your EFS partition. It's that simple.
if it is a rom that you flash in recovery you should be fine. they don't usually contain a modem or bootloader that would bork your install. You should be able to flash att, tmo, or n7105 roms with no problem
Thank you very much to both of you, very appreciated.
I went on to install omnirom 4.4 but Im not really liking the multiwindow, its a poor experience compared to touchwiz, I might eventually switch to a touchwiz ui based rom to get note 3 features and all the goodies, Im not sure yet.
As long as you don't flash a non T889V modem you should be good. When in doubt, nothing stops you from checking the zip or tar to see if it includes a modem, and removing it if needed.
If you haven't seen it yet, some recoveries recently had issues after flashing KitKat ROMs where your IMEI would show as unknown along with the phone not having service. Flashing the same ROM with another, updated, recovery fixes it.
I bought a new Boost branded Samsung Gs3
It was 4.1 out of the box, but when I activated the phone it forced 4.3 on me.
The phone is rooted..(did it myself!)
I also used the "DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip" right after rooting....
I can' t see any knox related files on the phone.
I haven't flashed any roms yet, but wanted to.. Just didn't want to hard-brick the phone.
Can I use any sprint based rom?? Do I need to be aware of anything....I would like to try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321867
Thanks all in advance..

You won't brick as long as you don't flash a tar file that downgrades the bootloader, since you took the OTA update. You can run almost any Sprint rom, but you will have to remove asserts from the ROM itself to keep from getting status 7 errors, due to Boost having slightly different radio(mk5). Try THIS link, it has some ROMs already modified for Boost. The second post explains how to remove asserts from ROMs not listed plus AOSP and CM based ROMs. I grabbed AOSB from Sprint forums and followed directions to remove asserts. Worked perfectly except for you can only have 3g and MMS or LTE and no MMS.
Hey guys, I have been having more than normal dropped calls and poor signals so I have decided to move to an actual TMobile ROM to match with my T889 phone.

Hey guys! So i now have a sprint note 4. Looking for a touchwhiz rom, prefer 6.0.1, with theme options, bluetooth, and air command. Any suggestions? Currently on stock rooted pg1, and if i coukd change the theme of my slide down tray, i woukd be satisfied, but the lack of theme options are killing me. Thanks for any info in advance!
If you only want to use "themes" option (which means that you prefer to be on "Stockish based" ROM), then I would suggest you 2 ways:
1. You can flash Dr. Ketan's Galaxy S7 Ported ROM (I have created a thread for it here). It has all the new features along with the Note capability of S-Pen.
It would require you to first downgrade to OK1 boot-loader & modem.
2. If you don't want to downgrade the boot-loader & modem, then you can try Galaxy Note 7 Ported ROM (I have created a thread for it too). However, if you are on Sprint network, It might not work for you as it is meant for users of unlocked N910P variant on GSM network.
Select as per your choice...
Else wait for some time. @carlosggb will soon be releasing a new version of his ROM that might have theme support baked in.

I havnt looked at dr ketans rom, but will. Tried Carlosggbs rom last night, but borked it somewhere along the way. Ill look at thr first today, and will try to flash one of them tonight. When i odin back, i need to do the stock tar and bootloader, or does the bootloader get changed along with the stock tar? Thanks...

Full stock tar includes the bootloader and baseband.
The bootloader and baseband thread has its own purpose. Depends on what you're doing. Personally, I try to avoid those ROMs that require a different bootloader for data but may use the bootloader to revert back to an older TWRP backup. Not so much lately though.
I've been happy with Marshmallow and Wanam unofficial Xposed. PG1 has been the best on battery and fixed a Wi-Fi Calling issue for me.
But if tx_dbs_tx figures out that Note7 port with MM bootloader and kernel on latest update, I'll be all over that!
