Well I tried flashing the T-Mobile modems but when I reboot I don't have service so I guess I should flash the at&t modems since it is the at&t phone guess it doesn't matter I'm using tmobile service
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It does matter what modem you use and it depends on your location. ANY and ALL modems should give you phone service at least. So you have a problem. A problem talked about much many months ago. Again Backup, wipe completely, and install the factory ATT ROM using odin. Before you set it up do a factory reset for ****z and giggles. Verify that you have phone service. Then install recovery and superuser. Then install a T-mobile modem. Verify you have data and phone service. Then install the ROM of your choice. Do not reinstall a modem.
And please quit posting everywhere. You have been told what to do by a few now and all you do is rant everywhere. Maybe you should have purchased a T-mobile phone to use on T-mobile and saved yourself the trouble.
Yea but they charged more for the t-mobile version ima prolly wait and sell this one for 300 and put that with my check 2 hrs pf battery life is sad i thought the note would be better then that lol but i already did all that and i know im in a t-mobile 4g area cuz i had a t-mobile phone before and i tried all the modems they are not compatible for this phone im thinking the guy lied to me i think o might have a foreign phone again

you have ATT phone, use ATT modems. if you are that hellbent on using Tmobile, have you done the SIM unlock???

super everything, and look for SIM unlock.
this will instruct you how to unlock from ATT (getting a code from them) then unlock.
just read it the yesterday as a matter of fact. RANGER CAPTAIN is the author of the thread. in the first post, scroll down a bit and it is listed with some MOD's.
titled "UOCKING STEPS"
once unlocked, then you can put your Tmobile SIM in. as he states this only needs to be done once. you can then flash other ROM's and the process should stick.
good luck
Thanks man sorry for being a noob lol

by the way, if you e spending a lot of time in recovery or constantly flashing something, your battery is going to SUPER SUCK.
your battery should be in the higher end of charged when flashing. recommended 70% or better. could probably get away with 55 or 60 though. again, every time you flash, you take a hit.
Ah ok but a friend of mine used it today it was fully charged went from 100% to 5% in like an hr and 45 min and i was reading on the sim unlock this phone was already unlocked when i purchased it that's how i was able to get t-mobile on this phone i get 4g but it doesn't stay connected i have to restart a lot to get it connected again and most of the time i have no bars so idk maybe i should stop buying unlocked phones lol

AT&T removed it for reasons I listed in a past post if I am not mistaken. I can rewrite the post later, just in a rush to head off to work
Puts me into service mode, but no options in there - Just says "RAT Selection option is restricted."
My Sprint S3 ran for 20+ hours on 3G without any issues, but since their data is so aweful we went to AT&T and on 4G lte we get 8 hours if we are lucky.
I guess the only other option is to flash a Canadian modem .

Straight talk runs on either. Depends on your area. You're most likely at&t seeing as 90% of straight talk is.
Straight Talk leases their services. The reason it's slow, it's NOT hspa. It's 3G and that's most likely the best you'll get.

OP, are you being throttled? Seems ST possibly throttles on 100MB a day and 2GB a month. That would leave you with H+ and horrible speeds. Contact ST and ask them to reset your network.
They used to throttle me ALL THE TIME! Good price but **** service. Went back to AT&T so I can use MY data how I pay to use it, not how they want me to.

Flashing a modem is easier than flashing a rom. Get the modem.bin on your sd card, boot into recovery, flash the modem.bin using CWM/TWRP (no wiping needed), reboot, check for correct APN settings (some roms don't include APN settings).
Im sorry bear with me ranger but can u go a li little more in depth for me where do I get that modem. bin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
If you have really slow speeds then you are either being throttled or you are not filling in the APN correctly. Does not sound like a modem issue. What speed does your notification bar show you connected as? How about settings > about phone > status >Mobile Network Type: ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31772854
In the first post of the linked thread you will find the download link for the UCLF2 modem and the recommended ST APN settings.

How about a screenshot of the status page in settings? APN looks good. Speed test sure looks like you are throttled. For chit and giggles try removing the proxy and port from the APN and see what you get. Not the MMS proxy and port.
Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

I had the same problem when I got my phone back. Took it back to Verizon and got a new phone. I tried everything and nothing worked. It is like something happened to the radio. Tried to flash a new one nothing. Still haven't heard back from mtv on trying to get a refund.

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338810
I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.
I am a bit confussed. Trying to get a straight talk s2 to work on t-mo for my brother. Rooted and running the collective rom on the phone. popping his t-mo card in the phone does not bring up a sim locked message, and I get no carrier signal. What do I need to do to get voice signal. does data work on this with a t-mo card? Do I tell him to move on?

Hey Eduardo!
Well the best way (easiest) to unlock is to just call T-mobile and say that you're going to some foreign place like Brazil or Ecuador or something. If one rep refuses to unlock you just call again and repeat until someone gives you an unlock code lol. Just tell them you're going out of state and need an unlock code, they will give it to you 9/10 times anyway, so you shouldn't have much trouble.
The OTHER way is to do this. Right now it's in a gray area because of the stupid law banning unlocking (except by carrier), but the Amaze was released before the law came into play so I guess it avoids the law. Good luck!
