Hey everyone need a question answered. I just purchased a used sgh i317 and am planning on unlocking it to use on the tmobile network. I have read and understand the process of using the aws hack to enable att modem to use the tmobile 3g/4g network. I was just wondering if it was possible to flash the factory image ( SGH-T889_TMB_T889UVBMD1_teshxx.zip) for the tmobile note II with odin from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 . If I did this would this completely put my sgh-i317 as basically a tmobile note 2 with full data and wifi calling.
I have read in the forums that I should always keep the att modem. Is this also true of the kernal too. Or is my plan to completely turn the sgh-i317 in to an t889 possible as stated above. I really appreciate any imput you would have. thanks!
Most people flash tmobile image so they can use the native wifi calling app.
If that's not a concern for you, I would put in the tmobile sim, unlock it, then add the tmobile 4G APN and reboot. If you live in a refarmed region, you will get 4G data with no further steps.

Does the TMobile stock image include the Tmobile modem? Or our the modems usually seperate? I really appreciate you helping me out.

Can't mix modem's. You end up with a bootloop. But most of the time the modem's are separate from most Rom's. But ya might want to do a double check just to make sure. So you don't run into any problems..

I appreciate it! I think I got it. The stock factory image would include the radio (I guess most custom roms do not), kernal, and OS. Since the sgh-i317 is so similar to the t889, I could technically flash the tmobile factory ROM onto the sgh-i317. I would just have to flash the att modem in place of the tmobile modem. Think I am just Going to flash a custom rom with wifi calling and just flash the newest att modem too. After I unlock the AWS and set my APN to Tmobile, I should be good to go! I appreciate your help guys! If I missed something here, please let me know.
Sounds about right. You're essentially good to go with any ROM or kernel from the I317, T889 and N7105. You should be fine as long as you don't mix modems (check the backgrounder in my T889V LTE guide if you feel like it) or flash N7100 stuff (see multiple reports of messed up IMEIs and such).
Hi all, I have a AT&T I-747 S3 that is running CarbonROM (Aosp) at the moment. I'd like to flash a T-Mobile ROM onto it, so I can use native WiFi calling with my T-Mobile SIM Card.
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
Bootloader AP SWREV - 2
I have the 4.3 Bootloader because I took the OTA update a few months back.
Does anyone have a T-Mobile ROM suggestion that will work and has WIFI calling?
Thanks all
All stock based T-Mobile touchwiz roms have wifi calling. Not sure itll work, but just give any of them a try. (NC2 is our latest build. Check out StockMod)

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned about bootloaders etc and didn't want to mess my phone up too badly. I was hoping someone would know what actual ROM would work with my specific modem/bootloader, since I think AT&T is much more locked up than TMO is.
As long as the ONLY things being flashed are the system and kernel, everything should work fine. You may have some minor connectivity issues, but I kind of doubt it since youre using it on T-Mobile's networks. Still, it is a possibility.
Anyway, just mske sure you never flash any base (or full) firmware or modem that is not specifically for the I747. Flashing the T-Mobile modem most likely just wont work (as opposed to bricking), but flashing T-Mobile firmware will almost certainly hard brick it.
Depending on the rom, you may need a d2tmo recovery. You probably wont run into that problem, but it is a possibility. It should be completely safe to flash the d2tmo TWRP or CWM recoveries if required though.
let me know if you have any other questions. also let us know whether or not wifi calling ends up working. Good luck!
I know this isn't the right place for this but I saw doc holidays name and know he's the man.but I have 4.1.2 and get get any kitkat rom to flash. I keep getting all types of error messages. How can I accomplish this feat. ..thanks and sorry again...please help...

Errors in Odin or recovery? Either way it would help if you could state them
And are you talking about touchwiz or cm/aosp roms?

I'm sorry, its been awhile since I've been on here. In recovery. It usually says error in sd card/ ...error 7. And also I can't seem to find a flashable boot loader. But besides that I can even get kk to flash period...thanks again
If you are trying to flash Touchwiz it wont work unless you Odin flash the 4.3 firmware
Usually cm...but the flash will give you an error and will abort installation because a bottloader isn't there...?...its not that my phone won't boot, I mean as soon as I flash it it will say opening package/installation...Then say something to the effect of error:/sdcard blah blah blah (error 7)...then say FAILED...
If its a Status 7 error it means you dont have a bootloader matching what they wrote into the updater-script. With CM it means its either too old, or too new. They dont update their scripts so when new firmware comes out it will no longer flash, regardless of whether or not it will work ok.
Try searching the rom thread to see if anyone ever posted one with a fixed script.
Or you can edit the asserts yourself.
I'm asking this question because the current build of CM13 for the N910V is underdeveloped at this time and I was wondering if I could flash CM13 for the SM-N910T or the sprint variant without any modem issues, etc.
Do a nandroid using TWRP and try it out. I've been testing different ROMs myself. I don't care for ASOP. Kind of ugly and useless without stock Samsung Apps. But I have tested MIUI, and a few other stock based ROMs found in the international Note 4 forum.

Just backup your EFS, Modem, and Boot partitions for sure. If you get a successful flash, immediately use TWRP to restore those partitions and you should be golden. Might also have to edit build.prop to avoid Play Store issues.

Has anyone tried a Sprint TW rom 6.0.1? I may give it a whirl and see if it works.

Hi there,
I find myself in an unusual(i think?) situation in that I have the verizon Note 4 but i live in Ireland. Now while the phone is sim free for the most part, Data does not work here without a verizon plan obviously and it would have to be a roaming plan so I would'nt even think about purchasing one. So i've been waiting for an opportunity to root my N4, now that there is a method I'm just wondering if I would be able to flash a stock Irl/Uk rom to my phone, or another rom that would allow me to have data and spen features. I would like to find out if this is possible before I attempt to root. My phone is on 5.1.1 and is the BPA1 version. Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Pending you could add the correct APN for whatever carrier you will be using, you should be fine. I purchased 2 of these devices nearly 2 years ago. I'm on Verizon prepaid and my wife has been on T-Mobile every since.
Funny thing is I didn't have to set her APN manually. The phone did it automatically the day I put her SIM in. Now she doesn't get the full potential of LTE speeds and MMS is a bit kwonky, but it works.

Thanks for the reply,
do you mean add the APN settings after i've rooted? I'm intending to flash the vodafone 5.1.1 IRL Stock Rom if it's possible, I already tried adding the APN settings and it does not work(unrooted) due to bootloader being locked and like i said i would need a verizon roaming plan to be able to use data. So if I get root and flash IRL vodafone stock rom, will I still have an unlocked phone or not? I'm not an expert in this but I would assume the phone would then be locked on the vodafone network yes? Or would it remain unlocked to any network? So just to be clear, what i would like to know is 1. will I be able to flash a stock rom from Vodafone Ireland once i'm rooted 2. If I do manage to flash Vodafone stock rom, will the phone still be unlocked or locked to vodafone? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Unlocked sim and unlocked bootloader are different. The phone is sim unlocked from the factory and can never be sim relocked (for lack of a better term). So to answer #2, the phone will not be locked to vodafone.
For #1, I seriously doubt you could odin a stock vodafone rom to this phone and even if you could I'd highly discourage it. If the file contained a bootloader, it would lock the bootloader and could potentially brick the phone. I would recommend unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP recovery, rooting (or flash a rooted rom), and add your APN's. If the stock rom is blocking you from adding APN's there are hacks to get around it once rooted. I used to use an app called APN Manager that you install as a /system app that would let you change APN's as you wish.

Any Touchwiz rom should support the S Pen. I believe the Paul (5.1.1) rom does. There's a Note 5 rom that should support it. Just stay away from CM13 or any AOSP roms and you should have S Pen support.

Not such an unusual situation hello from Ireland also a proud verizon note 4 user myself. Meteor and Emobile for me. Data works fine. Let me know if ya need any help.
I am also curious about this situation. I got an awesome deal for my 910v; brand new unopened for 280usd. Only problem is T-mobile sim doesn't get service, and it seems people have lost T-mobile service after upgrading to 5.0. So now I'm stuck with my aging S3 and this brilliant phone just sits there. Fingers crossed that johnboy sees some good results T.T
howdy. Need help returning Verizon s8+ to stock after rooting and using a custom rom. every time I try to flash the stock firmware it says "FAIL! Model dismatch fail". also cant add user data in the ums slot, doesn't let me click on it. I've tried different sources but can't seem to get it to work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
now when i try to flash a custom rom it says "FAIL! (Auth)"

Going through the same exact thing here. Trying to flash G950USQS2BQL1 that I got from Sammobile and first got the mismatch then I tried flashing with Prince Comsy's version of Odin and got the Fail auth. Now it's just stuck at SetupConnection. Let me know if you find any way that works please. I'll keep you updated if I figure it out.
I actually accidentally fixed it yesterday and successfully returned to stock. Even got Samsung pay and Android pay to work. I'll check out what files I used when I get home and let you know.
Try getting the firmware from updato instead of sammobile.
got mine working from sam mobile. https://dl.sammobile.com/M1FcRjxCIS...kRYXA../G955U1UES2AQL1_G955U1OYM2AQL1_VZW.zip

Gents, can somebody help me? I've got a unlocked S8+ that I got from Samsung not knowing that key features I need like wifi calling wouldn't work. My current software is U1. So, how can I flash the stock Verizon firmware on my phone so that I get the wifi calling? I travel overseas a lot and need it. I'm tech/computer savy but am clueless on cell phones.. So any step by step instructions would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to flash the stock verizon files in ODIN. You can search XDA or Google it. There are threads that explain it. Backup your phone, download the files - might take a while, unzip, and flash. It will wipe your phone.
Hello Folks!
As soon as I got the tablet I spent a good few hours looking around for the combo firmware to start looking for exploits so figured I would provide you guys with a link to the firmware for free
It was quite funny actually, after I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop I realized I couldn't find any stock firmware anywhere either haha, so I spent a few hours looking for that as well.
I have the Verizon variant, I am not sure if it will work on other USA variants or not as I have no way of trying. With that being said, below will be the links. I will provide a rev1 combination firmware and a rev1 stock firmware as well as a link to a modified ODIN for easy flashing!
And with all that being said, the combo firm is good to bypass FRP. You can enable the oem unlock switch but other than removing FRP it is useless as of right now. You can however, mix and match the firmware unlike my S9+. I am currently on stock firmware with a permissive boot.img for example.
If you got questions or need help, well, you probably shouldn't be downloading anything or flashing haha. But I will try to help when I have time. I do not have any current plans to keep this thread going with updated filese as I had to pay for these. If I can find em free moving forward I will re-upload if I can but I typically stay on the lowest rev/firmware I can until I find a root method

I think it's just the tablet, my Verizon one isn't playing nice with my Verizon service. Constantly not switch towers and losing service when full service is available. Or it's a tower problem but my note8 doesn't do it when my tablet does

OEM Unlock
I have the T837V and would like to ODIN flash your files, but as you know there is no OEM unlock in the Developer Options on this tablet. Are you saying that you can flash these files without enabling the OEM unlocking?
I would like to install TWRP, but I believe this is not possible without enabling the OEM unlock. Do you know if this is true?

I am currently working on a root method with the N9 but it should also work on Tab S4 once all is said and done. I actually found the exploit I use on the Tab S4 originally before I started workin the N9. Nothing is released yet as so far have only gained root on S9 Exynos and I am currently super bricked and waiting for a device replacement lol
Flashing other carrier firmware won't help you unlock any bootloaders or anything nor will it necessarily help you root. Only benefit I can see really in flashing other carrier firmware is say if you have an sim unlocked tablet (we'll say it's a Verizon tablet) and you want to use it on say Sprint. You can flash the Sprint software in ODIN and everything should work. It would be like you purchased the tablet from Sprint essentially.
