Hey guys, I've had my Note for a while now and always came here for any questions (all of them previously have been answered until now)
I have CWM on my phone with the stock ROM and a different kernel on it.
While in an AT&T store the other day, one of the workers was explaining how to flash a att radio over.. So far, I have found no radios for it. He was telling me about an att radio that you could flash over (a modem radio) that would give you constant 4g LTE with att. I tend to have constant 4G HSPA+ but would love to test it on LTE speeds.
My question is, does anyone have a link to downloading the radio.
And does anyone have a link or quick explanation on how to flash the radio over?
He lied dude. You have to have lte in your area. If you don't, then it doesn't matter which modem you have. Gotta love how these guys have no clue how to do their own job(no offense to any reps that know how to do their job).
Go here for modems

I've been having signal issues with my unlocked tmobile vibrant here in canada. I have telus signal in city (3g i assume) once i go out to the county i got nothing on my phone... i can see other providers just not telus.... and my friends who have telus iphones etc have 4 bars +.
After reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
Assuming the OP is correct in that the fascinate and vibrant are almost identical... would it be possible to switch the modem to solve my signal reception issues?
Thanks
** i've contacted telus and they dont have any answers for me... the phone cleared their online compatibility checker and im on my second SIM.
Any follow-up on this? Im on Wind right now with my T959, might have to switch providers... from what I understood the T959 does NOT use the same bands, so I'm wondering if that's your problem, and possibly my future one... let me know
I have the latest radio from Telus T959TKG2 and runs like a charm
OK I have looked and looked but to no avail. Can someone just give me a straight answer. Will the i717 work with a T-Mobile SIM? t-mobile finally works in my area and decided to go with them, on their $30 a month plan. Which is 100 min( I don't talk much) and unlimited text and data ( data up to 5GB first 2 4G, 3G then on also they give you SIM or $.99 if you order their web site Another reason I went with them, cause I can use any unlocked GSM phone on their network. I never had much of a choice when it came to cell service since I live up in the mountains of East Tennessee. Only Verizon and Sprint Picked up at my house. You'd have to go 4 miles down the road to pick any GSM carrier. So any ways I just got a sweet deal on an i717 on eBay for $238 in great condition with some accessories. I read around that the Radio's and can be changed to accommodate T-Mobile's service? I have rooted devices before and know that's not a problem to put a custom ROM it so as to have the right radio. But Need advice on what to do and where to start. Anyone's help and I will forever be indebted to you. I apologize if This has been answered else where ....I just couldn't find it.
Yes this note will run on t-mobile network. Nice plan!
1. Flash CWM kernel.
2. Flash rooted kernel.
3. Flash Blaze modem.
4. Input APN settings.
Everything you need is here on Bigjoe's Super Everything page:

Just follow the above sequence to get to your goal. Flash the fancy roms after you get your rig working.
And hit the thanks button for Bigjoe and the other threads you will visit.
A buddy of mine is wanting to do the same thing only he wants the N7000 instead of the i717. I know that the N7000 in the international Version but could you do the same with what yo explained to me with the i717?
Send a PM to Bigjoe. He is a contributor to the international version as well, so he will guide your friend.

The international version doesn't support the bands and features a different chipset altogether. I wouldn't recommend getting it for T-Mobile, you'll probably be stuck on EDGE data forever.
Tmobile wont work on Note-7000
Brought a international note on Ebay, used with Tmobile in San Francisco area.
Getting only edge speeds.
Hey everyone, I got a art galaxy note last week, try to root it and flash the tmo from to work on tmo 4g.
The first I got the phone, its its already up to pics, so I root it and flashed the ics modems, blaze, kid, and last one(forgot the name)
I can able to get online but the speed is around 500k up, I'm quite upset at the moment. So I try few roms like onlyone beta 4, saurom rc 7.1, also cm9 h0tw1r3 r5 patch 1, tried *#2263# to stay at 1700hz and run hiapn to do wcdma preferred. each rom with all 3modems and still around 500k down. I'm so sad and don't know what should I try next
The best one is under saurom with kid almost reach 1m down.....
Is some had the same problem what im suffering? Please I really need some help....do I need to flash kernel in this circumstances?now is 3.0.8-perf-I717UCLE3-CL577875
PS: I'm in new York area
Please I need some assistance here guys....
there may not be any more help we can provide...
Based on the fact that you have tried all available roms, and modems. and the combinations of both.
I'm not one to give up, but based on the information you have given us, we have nothing else to offer as a suggestion.
It may very well be that your area is a particularly poor one for reception, or network.
Did you have a good speed with the stock rom and modem ?
If so, you may want to revert.......g
Agreed. You tried all the usual suspects. I quit fighting the wrong phone for the network long ago and now buy the phones for the carrier.
20% of the threads around here are about people unsuccessfully using equipment on the network it wasn't designed for.
Since your phone is unlocked, why not get an at&t month-to-month or Straightalk plan.
If you're set on t-mobile, sell or trade the phone on craigslist and get the t-mobile version.
There's no sense in being upset at this.
Thank you ranger and greg for the reply, the only reason I want to make this phone to work on tmo cause I want white other than the dark blue or black....
I know using a phone that not regularly release by the provider doesn't make sense, but just wondering is anyone having the same problem and figure out a best rom/radio or method to get it done.
actually I'm satisfy with 3g speed if it able to. ...
I think I might just give it up and sell it...=[
I have at&t but I rarely get 3g speeds even though that lying network icon is telling me 4g LTE. I don't see much improvement in their network since 3g. Can't you enjoy the phone and forget the network icon? I mean, what are you being prevented from doing?
Hi,
I am using CM 10.1 M3. I haven't updated my modem in a long time. It is I717UCLF6. Is that the right one? How do I know which one to use?

It's kinda hard to answer which modem you need without some more details. It's also a personal preference based on where you live. Some modems/radios work better in certain areas than others. What network are you on, AT&T? I'm on AT&T and heard the latest modem for our i717 is the i717UCMB4. You can flash that one in recovery. I used it and it works but for some reason the i717UCLD3 modem is working better for me. I got that modem when I used odin to install this rom, then flashing my favorite rom on top of it. Some people say the UCLF6 modem works better for them. You can get that one here and flash thru your recovery. Sorry I can't find the i717UCLD3 flashable zip. Maybe someone else has a link so you can flash between all 3 and see what works out best for ya.
No need to do any modem flashing. LF6 is the latest and greatest modem available.
Updating.....AT&T released 4.1.2 and a new baseband/modem which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261713 and is flashable from custom recovery.
I'm testing out a possible switch to T-Mobile. Had AT&T unlock my phone today and got a prepaid T-Mobile SIM in it. I'm getting H+ (LTE?) speeds while doing data transfer and then it drops back to 3G when data isn't being used heavily. I'm on UCLF6. Although I've had this phone for a year, installed tons of ROMs, compiled my own kernel, etc. I'm a noob when it comes to modems and have just used whatever worked. What's the advantage of using a "T-Mobile" modem if UCLF6 seems to be working on T-Mobile anyways? Do you get more speed out of it?
I don't want to lose AT&T compatibility yet as I just got the prepaid T-Mo to test out (been getting crappy reception with AT&T at work and tired of the expensive plan of minutes I don't use). If T-Mo improves my speeds at work I'll probably just pay to cancel my AT&T contract and transfer my number, but for now I'm just testing.
Well I am not sure about the baseband/modem issues on T-Mobile but most important would be the GSM Bands/LTE are compatible. As some AT&T phones don't support 3G/LTE frequencys T-Mobile use. If you are using a prepaid SIM it may not even support LTE for example Straight Talk on AT&T supposedly will only use HSPA+ .
Recently ended up with this phone, wanted to use it on straight talk with a AT&T sim since it is unlocked.
It works, kind of.
I get one bar or no signal in places I have 2 or 3 bars on my old HTC one M8.
I thought about trying a different rom or a different radio if you can flash those on this phone. I am used to the unlocked bootloader on M8.
I even tried the aluminum foil mod around the battery I found on these fourms. Currently I am back on the HTC because this thing gets no service. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Search the General and Q&A sections for unlocking radio bands, although I don't personally have experience with this - have just seen the multiple threads.
I finally managed to get into the Verizon hidden menu and enable all supported bands, 2 and 5 were unselectable but I think AT&T uses 4. Still getting spotty service, anyone know if any modems are better for gsm than whatever version is with the stock 6.0.1 rom? I've seen a few post mentioning 12b, is that the most stable or something?
How did you did that? Interested in getting 2600Mhz (if possible)
