Sprint contract over and I switched to T-Mobile. No longer using any cell service on this tablet, just WiFi. Would I still be restricted to Sprint roms or can I use any WiFi model's rom? Thanks
The T807p has an unlocked bootloader so knock yourself out.

Just make sure you use an Snapdragon ROM which there isn't much. But feel free to root and such

Yep, should have mentioned that. In fact didn't you create a Rom for it?
Yes, tablet is rooted stock 4.4. Haven't installed recovery yet. There's just no dev for sprint variant, and now it stays permanently in airplane mode. Just using it on WiFi. So wondering if I could use a WiFi only rom and which for Qualcomm. Thanks for the responses everyone.
It's the kernel you need, but I don't even think a WiFi only kernel exists for the snapdragon version.
You could build it from source with WiFi only.

So I'm trading with my mother her T-Mobile sim for mine. She's going to take over my contact from Att and I'll take hers. Reason is her job well pay her bill but they want Att for some weird reason Lol. And i want the unlimited data with T-Mobile. So my question is once I unlock both phones, well I still be able to use my current rom? witch is avatar latest with KKO kennel. Would I just use an T-Mobile modem and radio or just stick with the Att radio/modem?

yea ROM shouldnt matter. Its all about the baseband or modem. Might want to hop over to the T mobile forums and ask them. Another thing you want to do with your AT&T Note is hack it so you can use T Mobiles AWS bands. The Chip in our phones is disabled right now but we have the hardware to use the T mobile bands.

Yea I'm going to. I seen an thread bought the aws band witch I plan on doing. I'm actually kinda glad my mother wants to switch the 3gb data is kinda killing me Lol. But I think an Att radio/modem should be just fine or i could be wrong.
It's actually very easy to enable the AWS band on the AT&T Note 2. T-Mobile LTE works out of the box, but for 3G (HSPA+), you need to flash a file from your computer. You don't have to be rooted though. It shouldn't void your warranty either or trip the flash counter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041

Yea, that the thread I saw. My mother gets 4g on her T-Mobile s3 and in live like 15 minutes from her so i should get it also. When I do switch should I just stick with my Att radio/modem?

Flashing another Note 2's radio (as in another carrier's/model's) to your AT&T Note 2 can actually damage it. Not physically, but you'll lose your IMEI for example and probably get stuck in a bootloop. Stick with AT&T modems. You have to reapply that flash from your computer any time you flash or reflash a modem though. But seeing as how most custom ROMs don't come with a modem, you won't be doing that often anyways.

Yea that make perfect sense. If im understanding corectly, since im going to be sticking with this rom for awhile. Once i do the aws band mod all i got to do is put the sim card in and i should be good to go.

Yes. Although you can change ROMs freely. This mod will stick until you flash a different modem (which is separate from a ROM), at which point you just flash it again.

Yes. Modems rarely need to be changed and are in a separate file 99% of the time. Kernels and ROMs and anything else can be changed as many times as you want.
What area are you in? You might see how it works stock unlocked on the refarming first. I'm quite happy with how my i717 does in Chicago.

Unless I'm way off here, Verizon uses cdma where tmibile us gsm. How is your Verizon note even working on T-Mobile to begin with?

where you able to get wifi calling? do you have a link to the rom you used?

Verizon has world phones, that have some GSM capabilities, they also have SIM cards, because LTE is GSM tech and SIM is part of LTE specs, so yeah it should work at least on some frequencies. The only ROM that has WiFi calling, as far as I know is T-mo. There was some guy claiming he loaded pretty much all different ROM's he could get into his Note and it worked, but don't remember details, do search maybe in International Note 3 forum and see if T-mo is mentioned. Not sure if you care, but right now loading ROM's could trigger Knox flag, so maybe research this before hand and I have a feeling soon we may have some new breakthrough, when loading any ROMS is no problem, but not sure if Knox flag can ever be reversed, once tripped, there is no way for now.
BTW I'm not sure if you're aware, once you have WiFi calling, you can call home from around the World on WiFi for free. Don't let other people call you, but you can make free international calls home as long as you're on WiFI. It does not work for local calls. That is outside the new international calling plan T-mo has.
My Verizon Note 3 worked somewhat on T-Mobile
I had my Verizon Note 3 functional on T-Mobile for about a week but ended up buying a used T-Mobile Note 3 after having random service issues. With the correct APN settings on the V Note 3, 4G worked and I was able to browse just fine but the phone was not reliable. Quite often after making a call, it would switch away from 4G (sometimes to Edge) and would take minutes to re-establish a reliable data connection on 4G. During this time, whether it was possible to make another call was a hit or miss. Even when it said 3g, or Edge, calling was sometimes not possible. Usually I would wait a while before trying again. Data was in and out at times. I was on the latest official Android release: 4.4.4. And other users with T-Mobile phones were not having similar issues in the same location so I know it was not location specific.
I thought about downgrading to another rom and rooting, then enabling LTE band 4, but I wasn't sure that would fix the service-related issues. Now with the T-Mobile version, I have zero service problems. We had a similar experience on T-mobile with a Verizon Galaxy S5 and after getting the T-Mobile version, the problems were fixed.
So, IMO, the V Note 3 does work on GSM networks like T-Mobile. How reliable it works compared to the other Carrier specific models is debatable.
Hi all,
I have an AT&T I467, i never use the cellular and neither do i want to. I just want a wifi version. Can i ROM it with 5110. I have it rooted already?
thanks
G
This can work with some devices with the same hardware like the sgs4 m919 and the i9505. I have the m919 and flash all the i9505 ROMs.
But the two devices you are asking about, a HSPA+/LTE device vs a WiFi device, are not the same and you stand a really good chance of bricking your tab.
Just my $0.02!
Thanks, I think will just sell it or swap for a WIFI version
I'm curious why you'd want to switch ROMs. The cellular functionality can be ignored, what advantage does the 5110 have?

Hey guys, long time xda user and flasher here. I bought the chinese/hk model N9300ZHU, I was wondering if I can somehow flash the STOCK T-Mobile firmware on it through ODIN or would I have to root it and just flash a rooted tmo Rom through TWRP instead of ODIN? Any help and insight would be appreciated !
Bump. Anyone?
Hello, I dont have the answer to your question, but I am thinking about buying the SM- N9300 for AT&T here in the USA. Just wondering how has it been working for you? LTE, apps, connections, etc. Should I have any concerns? Thanks

Everything is fine as far as connections and network go. I just wanted it to show LTE instead of 4g. Anything thing I miss is VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. I saw a root method for tmo and at&t users where you can flash sprints files through ODIN and have Wi-Fi calling work but dunno if the 9300 supports all this.
Okay, thanks......Ive also read that its a little difficult to put your Google account on there. Something between China & Google. But i guess some people have managed to put Gapps on there somehow. Is 4g considered LTE here in the states?

Is it possible to flash a TMo ROM, Stock?, on my old ATT SM-900A (OC1) in order to get WiFi calling? I am a new T-Mobile customer and using my old hardware for the moment. Wifi calling is a huge deal for me in my weak service area.
No, it is impossible to flash stock TMo ROMs on AT&T's phone as far as I've read:
Here
However, I think there might be some ports of TMo software (custom ROM) for AT&T phones (which include Wi-Fi calling)
As seen here
I am NOT responsible for anything you decide to do at this point. I am giving you the resources to do your own research. I do not own a AT&T Phone and have no way of testing it out myself, proceed with caution.

I have flashed with TWRP (hlte) a N900TUVUFOB6.zip ROM and have WiFi calling, working on my Sprint Note 3 with a T-Mobile SIM. Installed, setup and did a backup. I restore it when I got WiFi but no cell signal. Not my daily driver but works.
Are you sim unlocked?

I'm not too familiar with the AT&T N900A Note 3, but I know about would need to be done. Now if I remember correctly, nobody was ever able to unlock the bootloader on that device, and that is definitely not good. Hopefully I'm wrong though because it would be fairly straight forward if the bootloader can be unlocked. You'd need a recovery like TWRP installed so you can flash a kernel, Safestrap won't work for that. If you could flash an actual full T-Mobile N900T ROM that includes the baseband and kernel, it should work. The N900A and N900T is almost identical except some of the network bands supported. I've looked some, and I'll look around a little more, but so far I haven't seen a single N900T ROM on a N900A device and it have functioning Wi-Fi Calling.

I know that ROM won't work the way he needs it to. The actual Wi-Fi Calling components have removed from it. I read through it and no one was ever able to get it functioning at all. *shrug*
There is no way to unlock the n900a bootloader and probably never will be. The phone is still a great device imho but it's considered old in the rapid pace of cell phone hardware.

That's what I thought. I didn't think the BL was ever unlocked on AT&T's variant, and you're correct, if it's not unlocked by now it's pretty much guaranteed it'll never happen.
I definitely agree that the Note 3 is still a great device. I'm still rockin' my N900T with it set up like the Nexus 6P/Pixel XL. And this little Snapdragon 800 can still get down. The phone is only really lacking stuff like camera hardware with OIS. But it's still really good if you don't use stuff like auto-focus. It'll turn out great pictures if you know how to manually adjust settings.
