[Q] Does flashing back to stock affect T-mobile modem? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've flashed a T-mobile modem and using with the HSPA+ for awhile, however the Saurom ROM I'm using has some bugs like I can't reboot my phone properly and I sometimes lost signals, so my question is: if I want to flash my Note back to stock android, am I gonna lose the capability of using the HSPA+ which I'm using right now? Is there any ROM you would recommend that would be stable for the Note and still have the T-mobile modem enabled? Please give me an answer because I've been confused with this for awhile. God bless you all...

Question
Anybody? Please?

I'm using Saurom 7.1 and ICS theme on,Blaze modem and its been running great. It isn't as fast speedwise compared to my Amaze 4g but stable and fast.

You will probably have to reflash the tmo modem. But it might still be there as others have had non-stock modems that were still there even after flashing a stock tar file.

Best way to be sure would be to flash the stock radio. Though, it would be nice to know if using Odin will put EVERYTHING back to stock.
I'll bet the answer exists on the forum already but it's a good question, regardless.

Oops. Read the question wrong. So far as i know, once you flash a radio, it's there forever. Unless you flash a new one. Depending on how someone makes their ROM, this could change, but I'm betting that most of the devs aren't worried about forcibly making the people flashing their **** switch modems.

thanks for sharing. I've heard some infos about flashing back to stock could affect the radio, but I feel relieved when I saw this.

Dont worry about the modem in GB just flash it and it'll work
all ive heard is that the "ICS leak" doesnt play well with TMO modem
but idk to be honest

Will TurkbeyRom work with AT&T version of GS3?

I really like what I see from this rom: rootgalaxys3iii.com/turkbeyrom-v3/
But everywhere I've read about it, it references the international version of the phone.. this will be my first root and Rom flash so I am really nervous about bricking my phone if it isnt meant for att version.
Thanks for helping
If it is made for the international version then do not flash it on the us version. Since you are new I would suggest you flash roms that are for your carrier, ie the ones listed in whatever carrier development forum you use for your service. Be advised though to please do plenty of research on whatever questions you may have in the future as it will save you major headaches

Unfortunately no it wont work. I9300 roms cannot be flashed due to different internals. You'll be lucky to get a boot screen if you flash but could probably still recover. Definitely wont work though until someone ports it over for your model.

Best GB ROM?

Hey everyone,
I'm noticing a bad loss of connectivity on my Note, currently running Black Star using Blaze 4G modem (was on UVLK1 before). It seems like it keeps losing signal, the bars are there, the '4G' is there, but it won't communicate. No texting, no web, no calls (they disconnect immediately). Both modems are doing this.
The only way I am getting around it is to pull the battery + SIM, put back and reboot. That is only a temporary fix as the problem returns. I did not notice this when I first bought the phone (used), and it was running stock GB.
What is the best GB ROM out there now? I am really desperate to try anything and would like to flash a different ROM next...I would try CM9 but I heard there is no S-Pen with it since AOKP.
Thanks!
Flappjaxxx's will prolly be your answer. You want a semi,well mostly stock rom with everything working then this is it.

This is the one rom that since I've put on my phone I've never taken off in case I had a problem...I know its there and keeps me from worrying

sharky got it...
but i'd like to suggest that you try flashing the stock GB UCLA1 modem, and try it out with the ICS Rom.
I've had great success using this modem on virtually all of the ICS roms i've tried...
It can be found in the "note everything" thread, or in the first few posts of Flappjaxxx rom i believe..
It is a CWM zip file, so no odin or kies is needed.
Here it is....

Good luck, and happy flashing......g
No better GB ROM than Saurom 7.1.

If you need S-Pen then go FlapJaxxx' Samsung ICS build. Forget about GB and welcome the new smoothness.

4g problems in liquid smooth rom

I use the i717 from att but use it on straight talk. I'm using the r7 version of the liquid smooth ROM. Flawless ROM BTW
OK I got one problem. The 4g. Since installing the ROM n gapps I gotta say I love the ROM. Had a few reboots n freezes but it don't bother me none. I'm willing to re flash everything and start over if necessary, but trying to avoid that. I do that enough
On the stock ROM didn't have any problems with 4g. I even updated the radio to uclf6 as found in the one main root thread. I use cwm touch recovery. There is an option to switch to 4g/wcdma but every time I click it it auto switches to the wcdma gsm one.
Any ideas would be great

I like the ROM as good or better than any other I've tried and the performance on my phone was great. Sans the 4g issue. Which I would agree is a HUGE problem. I don't care how well I can scroll between pages if I am downloading and surfing web like it's 1993. I installed stock ROM and followed steps on resetting IMEI and then flashed liquid back. So far running great, with 4G.

Help Not Sure What I Did

I have an Note i717M from Bell Canada that I have unlocked and using t-mobile radios to work with Wind.
For the last two weeks I had nothing but great reception and no black outs. I recently installed Black Star since I tried that ROM I have had almost no connection. I re-flashed ICS Blaze radio which I was using on Stock and CM10 with no issues.
Now no matter what ROM I flash I can't get connected for more then two minutes.
Not sure if anyone can think of anything that might cause this.
I am convinced it's not the radio because it works with my rogers account just fine when I flash the stock radio back to the phone.
Also I can connect to Wind Away on the stock radio no problem and stay connected with full bars.
Could it be the kernel?
Got it working I had to do the full flash in odin each of the partitions. Something must have been corrupted pretty bad. As soon as i flashed all the stock partitions and booted up and got the ics ota. Flashed icsblaze and back to full connectivity.

It sounds like you just needed to add the right APN settings to the rom for it to work. If you decide to try blackstar again makesure to copy down your APN settings you are currently using.

I guess he used this rom to back to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657279
By the way, It's 2.3 stock.. not ICS.
Yeah I went back to bone stock.
Here is the funny thing I have 2 notes, 1 rogers, 1 bell. When I use the rogers phone on darkstar absolutely no issues.
The bell version, it completely knocks out the AWS radio that I use and I am not able to restore it for some reason.
I had to reflash all the partitions to restore it. Tried 3 times same result on the bell version.
Wonder what's different in the i717M vs the i717R

Unless you have a keen understanding of how to partition a device, dont try.
Rather, use Odin or kies to push the factory image to the device, and let it run the partition mapping for you. Otherwise, you can damage the device and brick yourself.
Read up on all things note, in the general section at the top. Use the "super thread" and find the issue you are looking for.
Also, you can general search for the answers, as they are covered in many threads in this section.....g

Modems/Radios for this phone

Hi, I'm a bit confused when it comes to modems/radios. I currently am on i717UCMD3, and it runs pretty great on T-Mobile. But I want to find another modem to see if it's any better when it comes to reception. However, I can't find any other modems that are for jellybean. I was wondering if anyone had links or anything to other modems?
Thanks!

Read here, here and here proceed at your own caution
As long as its a modem for this device, you can flash away. Take em all for a test drive. Just flash modems, no need to reflash rom with them.

Thanx for that input - I need a modem too. Mine sucks i717UCMB4, so I will go through them also. will update.
BTW Do you mind to share what modem you have, how you like it, and rom & phone network? Thanx!

I am on At&T and have never had an issue with whatever modem comes with the rom. Then again, I treat the modem like I do the kernal. It should work with whatever comes with the rom. If it doesnt, for the most part, I wont run it. Right now I am running Hellybean. I was one of the first to try for our device. Lots of options and doesnt suck battery like the KK's.
