[Q] Bit confused - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Alright I have a att branded note, but it is on tmobile. I traded for my sg2 about 4 months ago and all was well then got 4g and for the most part never freezes or hangs up or reboots, I do have a hard time getting 3g it either goes 4g or edge in my area. Now this is my dilimea since moving back to college (In the danm woods) I get horrible service if any, most of the time roaming always on edge and 2 bars or less. But what I am missing most now is wifi calling!
My questions is how can I go about just adding it to this phone, I think it has been rooted(Don't really know how to tell) It does have CWM gui installed on it
Could I do what is mentioned in this post?

Honestly just looking for a bit of help do not know where to really start

Your link is from the international Note forum. Don't know if you can do this to the i717 Note. How about using google voice and either talkatone or groove IP with your google voice number? That lets you do wifi calling using a google voice number. All free. You just have to set it up. Only thing is you have 2 numbers. Your carrier number and your google voice number. Unless you port your cell number to google voice ($20). Only thing is mms still does not work over google voice, but talkatone have a work around. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply I did do google voice for a bit but found it to be a bit slow on the push from calls and text messages and to have 2 numbers gets a bit confusing at times and I missed some calls I shouldn't ect....Just thought there might be a way just to bring back this feature.

It sound like you need to flash a different T-Mobile radio.

If you go into the tmobile note forum, look at tomin's thread. Think it's called Goodies. He has instructions on how to flash the tmobile rom to your ATT note. It is a little complicated, but I was able to do it.
Pay attention to the root part. I lost root flashing the tmobile modem. It was a stock flash with no root. Had to re-root. Wasn't that hard, just annoying.
Check that out. I had the tmobile rom running on the blaze modem and it worked fine. The tmobile modem made my phone run hot. Worth a try. Good luck.
Was able to reflash custom roms without problems. Just read alot and understand what it is you are doing.

I think mine is already rooted are you saying to root it again?

Yeah- that's the thread. When I did it a couple months ago, I flashed the tmo stock rom, but it wasn't rooted cause it was stock. I still had my custom recovery I think? So I rooted the stock rom and was able to restore via Tit. BU. Don't remember what steps I took- it was awhile ago. But I followed all the steps outlined. The tmo modem ran hot, so I switched back to blaze and that combination worked fine. If you are not sure, read all you can. On that thread, and on the t-mo threads within the att note sections. Just search the threads. Good luck!

No rom will fix the basic issue of hardware incompatability -- all the suggestions just get you a less than optimal, but working, phone experience.

Well anyone have something more useful or experience? While I appreciate the comment above I have read other got it working just want to know how...
