The SKY77606 is called a "tri-band" on their website, and since the Note is atleast a quad-band, this leads me to believe that the Note is using the SKY77604.

SKY77606 spec sheet

http://www.skyworksinc.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=830

GT

[UPDATE]

Actually looks like they title it "Quad-Band GSM / EDGE and Tri-Band (Bands I, V, VIII)" SO, looks like it does have capability for quad band. I just saw Tri-Band throughout the info... so looks like this brought us no closer...

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Okay, from their table of info on the SKY chips, they show:

SKY77604 supports the following GSM bands (4 in total)

824-849

880-915

1710-1785

1850-1910

SKY77606 supports the following GSM bands (4 in total)

824-849

880-915

1710-1785

1850-1910

Which would lead me to believe that both support the 1700mhz range.

However for CDMA the stats are different.

SKY77604 supports the following CMDA bands (5 in total)

1920-1980

1850-1910

1750-1780

824-849

880-915

where as SKY77606 supports the following CDMA bands (3 in total)

1920-1980

824-849

880-915

But since T-Mobile USA is a GSM provider, I would think it wouldn't matter which chip was used... is this correct? Can someone shed some more light on these findings?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
From Wiki,

The cellular radio in the T Mobile variant supports UMTS Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700), and Band V (850). It also contains NFC.[80]. It uses a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm APQ8060 (S3) Snapdragon processor, as opposed to the 1.2Ghz dual-core Exynos processor. The reason for this is that the Exynos processor is not compatible with T-Mobile's 42 Mbit/s HSPA+ network. As opposed to most of their other phones."

So, I guess this would lead one to believe that if the The European Note does have the 1700 umts band embedded then we would only get 3g........ for me that is fine.

As to flashing a radio from the hercules, Need to ask a dev as I iterated before. After thinking this through, if the radio is based for use on the Sanpgragon instead of the exynos, then it would need some heavy porting to make it compatible.

Here's what we know:

2100 mhz

- operates properly

- in service menu

1700 mhz

- currently doesn't operate

- in service menu (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19077116&postcount=31)

- Frank tried turning on the 1700mhz band in the service menu, but his phone freaked (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335920&highlight=1700)

- the phone allows the software to turn on the 1700mhz, and the hardware may support the 1700mhz, but there are some questions about being amped correctly (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19206970&postcount=56)

- this leads to the question of which power amplifier is in the Note as there seem to be only 2 options where 1 supports the 1700mhz and one does not (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19270973&postcount=18)

- there has also been talk of using the modem.bin from the galaxy s2 4g (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18881529&postcount=9)

- lastly there is this thread that discusses using the modem.bin from the SGH-T989 from T-mobile, and we're just waiting for someone to get it to Frank so he can give it a shot.

That's all the info I've been able to find so far.

This is all great information! I'm really glad to see people actually trying to figure this out :). But as some of already said, don't mess up your awesome phones for the sake of few if you're not sure if it's recoverable. But good luck everyone! We'll all be hoping for good news!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Okay, this was kinda fun.

So I downloaded odin and installed clockwork.

I installed the modem.zip binary, and like last time, the modem.bin doesn't work.

Just like switching the 1700 mode did, (technically combo 1700+2100), the phone now acted like I haven't inserted a SIM card.

Since I don't have another zip file to put the old one back (there doesn't seem to be a way to copy it out) I now installed the hong kong rom in the development section.

Now my phone accepts my sim card again and I can make calls again.

No 3G of course, but at least I now have that nifty chinese typing ability.

You guys are really wasting your time with this. There needs to be 3 things in order for this to work successfully on T-Mobile's 3G network. A modem capable of AWS (1700, 2100 MHz) bands, the appropriate modem firmware, and the antenna to tune into those frequencies. Until further confirmation, I would say this is not as easy as just flashing bin files.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerfest:
IIRC, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a sim that either uses TMo or ATT with straight talk... needless to say however, AT&T can afford and are money hungry greedy ****s so they limit the speeds and tower priority of "lobie" users...

That being said, I saw the Galaxy Note in passing, and while I LOVE my HD2 because of its hard buttons and versatility (yes I like my call/end buttons, go die in a fire), I would totally give both testicles for the Galaxy Note WITH the ability to work on TMobile...

I mean ****, the specs are sexy, 1280x800 screen... I HATE 16:9 aspect ratio, too ****ing narror, and I LOVEEEEEE 16:10 or anything closer to it or 4:3 as possible! AND STYLUS... trust me, there have been MANY MANY MANY a time I wish I had my old Sprint Mogul or Sprint Touch Pro 2 back instead of my HD2... its the ONLY thing I dont like about it, thats it... nothing else...

anyway, im rambling now... but if someone could point me to an updated thread on any further discovery of a Galaxy Note (the specific country/carrier it was made for) that would work in the US and on TMobile... well... I would love you much more then I should... and I would thank you very much!

Ok guys update I have been trying that 1700 band in the phone.

So far every time I select it the phone blanks all the bands in the service menu.

Then I have to do a hard reset to get back the options.

I think this is why when you flash the S2 Modem this happens.

I haven't rooted the phone yet, so I didn't flash the S2 modem, I'm still playing with this modem first.

Has anybody gotten anywhere yet with this??

MWC mobile world congress is that what your talking about. Or that t-mobile maybe using the 1900 band. I read that t-mobile are going to try to support the Iphone. Not sure how they plan on doing this tho.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SladeNoctis:
No on the Skyrocket your able to achieve 3G on Tmobile due to the frequency 1700mhz that is used for LTE with the At&t modem but with the TMo GS2 modem it can be used to achieve 3G. So technically the modem for the Tmo GS2 allows phones like the Skyrocket to use its LTE band as a way to connect to Tmo 3G. As far as speeds goes its unsure if your going to be using the 42mbps HSPA+ network but you still achieve 3G instead of edge.

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

I posted this on the At&t Gnote and somebody sent me here but look there's really no way to make the global Gnote work on Tmobile. It requires and hardware mod or some real serious coding that would manipulate the sim that the phone has a 3G band compatible with Tmobile. Only the At&t Gnote probably the Canadians versions as well have a high chance of working on Tmobile. The reason why is because the 1700mhz frequency inside the Gnote(and other At&t LTE phones) are used for At&t LTE network, the modem for the Tmobile GS2 allows the 1700mhz to be used and achieves 3G on Tmobile. Now i can confirm this for the Skyrocket as there are few that actually use this for international use and visiting the US. Remember its a possibility, this is only possible because the hardware of the At&t(skyrocket) and Tmobile GS2 are similar such as qualcomm layout and other specs. But they do have different chipsets yet its possible for them to achieve it. So i recommend for people to be patience wait for the At&t Gnote to get a teardown to see what chip its exactly using so we can flash the Tmo modem. I don't want people bricking there phones, its already a huge risk people trying to flash the modem on the global Gnote.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

Well i meant that in MWC theres a high chance of quad core phones that can work on TMobile. The 1900 plan is going to take some time and by the time its available for everybody the Gnote4 might already be out.

I just got my replacement X2. I rooted it, installed the recovery bootstrap, and tried to restore one of my last backups. It restored, I rebooted, but now it just sits at the Dual Core screen. No boot loops, just frozen.

I did have the V6 supercharger script, so I'm thinking maybe it doesn't like being re-applied through a nandroid backup? I can't think of any other reason it would do this.

I'm SBFing it already, but has anyone else run into this?
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
did it freeze at the dual core screen? or did it boot loop? did u install a custom rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] berfles:
It froze at the dual core screen, no boot loop. I didn't install a custom ROM, all I did was root it and try restoring the nandroid backup that I ran while I was SuperCharged.

It just finished SPFing so maybe I'll try to manually supercharge it before restoring this time.

It was also on the 2.3.4 OS, could that have something to do with it also? I'm not sure if it likes restoring to newer versions of Android or not.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Be sure your replacement is running the same sbf as the one your backup was based on. Ie. Your backup was on 2.3.4 and your new phone shipped with 2.3.3 you would need to sbf to 2.3.4 first..

Or if ya were still on 2.3.3 and that was your backup and your phone shipped with 2.3.4 you need to sbf back to 2.3.3.

Im sure this is your issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] berfles:
Ah ok, that's what I edited in my last reply... I figure it may not like that.

I already SBFed to 2.2, I assume I can just update to 2.3.4 normally and then root/bootstrap/restore again?
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Yes. You only need to sbf once to your target version then root/install recovery and restore your backup.
[Motorola Droid X2] berfles:
Yep, that worked like a charm. Phone is back to the day it was before I sent it in. Only one app so far is broken.

Now I just need to figure out if it's Supercharged again or not.

[Motorola Droid 3] CraiaSoftware:
Slow down

I am noticing a consistent slow down when I perform the overclock. I did several tests and dropped the lowest and highest values and took the average. My single-thread (st) and multi-thread (mt) results for stock 1000 are 41st/49mt and for the overclock 1100 they are 38st/45mt. I am running stock ota gingerbread. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] Rick#2:
Not sure what I was thinking when I mentioned my Linpack results earlier; I'm getting nowhere near 75 MFlops. Before setting the max clock frequency to 1100MHz I consistently get a rate of about 27 MFlops, increasing to about 33 MFlops afterwards. Could have sworn I remembered it being higher but I must have been mistaken.

The Linpack results are highly subjective to quite a few other factors though and isn't very indicative of much but since it's a rather quick benchmark it is pretty easy to see that there is a significant increase in performance that isn't attributed to random error.

It shouldn't be too much more work to be able to alter the clock speed in a way where SetCPU or other clock-related applications can see and manipulate the hardware but I haven't had much free time at all lately and was pretty happy I was able to get this working.

It would be really nice to not have to rely on forcing the OMAP4430 to run full out with the "performance" governor but this was really just a proof of concept for me.

[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Yes, when you type "su" into a command prompt(gives you root) it might make the prompt look a little different but there's no confirmation that it worked, there would be if it didn't though. Once you're root it should work no problems, without root it will throw up errors about anything that it tries to change and perhaps some things that it just tries to read even.

[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
I remember being one of the only ones who's Fascinate could handle 1.7ghz. It wasn't stable enough to use all the time, but I was able to benchmark and use it for about a half hour before any freezes. 1.6 was the sweet spot. Very stable and fast. Sometimes I miss having an unlocked phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Its only a matter of time before the Droid 3 is unlocked via motorola or someone finding an exploit.. so at that point we should be able to get our CPUs around 1.6 or 1.7+ Ghz. I'm hoping for that at least, 2.0 ghz would be nice, although a little extreme..
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
while it would be awesome, i have my doubts. in fact, the locked bootloader is half the reason im gonna dump my d3 (other half being 4G). I was a little shocked when reading up on the nexus forums, roms + kernal and they werent reaching 3000 quadrant at 1.4??
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Quadrant isn't just based on the cpu. It tests i/o speeds, RAM, and graphics. At 1300, my phone scored a max of 3500, with an average of around 3350 to 3400.
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
Quadrant scores are such a poor representation of actual performance. They're very easy to inflate. Smartbench is a far more accurate benchmark.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Its a standard, if one person inflates there score then its just as easy for the next person. It is actually a pretty good comparison since EVERYONE runs its more than 1 time on a fresh boot and usually only show the highest score. The same can be done with smartbench... I've scored 4000+/3000+ one run and 3000/2500 the next and visa versa. No one is going to give there lowest score, ever.. Same goes with PC's. BUT, its only a good comparison if every person running the benchmark had the same rom/tweeks.

But you are right, benchmarks in general do not really mean much. I was on a aosp rom hitting high bench scores and when i switched to a blurry rom it scored lower but ran significantly faster/smoother/better etc..
