Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] malaeus:
this is amazing! i was really hoping samsung wouldnt have screwed us that hard with no physical compatibility.

you devs are amazing!

too bad some of the other people involved are becoming childish.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Ditto
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alnova1:
Who has become childish?...Just curious...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
Hahaha good one. Going to do the build prop tweek right now and report back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lboy109:
hey tomin, i got a new note, i decided to do solution 2 and what i discovered is that in the following locations as you specified i am missing the mdm.bin and the amss.bin

/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

i sure would like to back them up before i go forward

could this have been the reason for my poor speed results ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
iboy you won't find those files "in" those partitions. Essentially the files "are" the partitions so amss.bin == mmcblk0p13 and mdm.bin == mmcblk0p17.

The dd command in solution 2 creates a disk image of the partition and outputs it as the respective file (mdm.bin or amss.bin). That is how we create the backup of the partitions (really they are disk images)

Later solution 2 asks you to copy the disk image (mdm.bin) back to mmcblk0p17.

You can mount the partitions and look at the files inside them which is what I am doing now.

Really though solution 1 should at least get you on the same page as the rest of us. But try either one and let me know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
But yeah solution 2 makes sure you have a backup of both partitions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lboy109:
yeah after looking inside that folder i figured the whole folder were the files lol. so i did manage to back em up

then i did solution one just flashed all 3 modems at a time using cwm

best results thus far is with kid for me.

im still getting very poor results.

any updates ? am i the only one who hasnt hit over 1mbps ?

i feel like giving up and cancelling tmobile and go with straight talk ill get atleast 3g with them, just dont wont to cough up a $200 termination fee.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
No other updates yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Let's just get some of things out of the way. Can you try a different speedtest server? Is the one in NY the one you always use when you are on t-mobile. It shouldn't matter but. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rscaramelo:
I'm getting tempted to get a Note after reading this thread. I have a couple of dumb questions. Does the Note need to be rooted or can it just be unlocked? Is anyone getting worst than EDGE speeds with this is or is EDGE the starting point? Any hope for wifi calling or am I getting too ahead here?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
Root and unlocked are required.

Edge is the starting point... Wifi calling is a hope for the future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] boss2688:
so ive been wondering if this is going to be something that is able to be done on future devices like this htc one x att variant it looks to be the same bands as the note and it also has 1700hsdpa so it should work on tmo also, fingers crossed ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Tomlin- for those of us with shaky adb skills, is there anything we can really screw up? or will we just get error messages. I am far from trying this yet. I am on a family ATT plan that costs $35/month for the note so I won't be saving much. This is just a 2nd option for me if ATT rates go up again. I upgraded on my sons contract, so I am free to walk if needed. I would like to try it to see how it works here in North Jersey, but need an easy way back to ATT. I haven't seen a way back that seems un problematic. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Yeah, if you use solution 1 going back is easy. Just use the zip in number 4 of solution 1. Alnova put it together and confirmed that it worked for him. Download that, flash it and you will be back to AT&T.

I don't see why not. Similar to how I got my LTE GS2 to work with wind.

If you are backing up your radio file, would you be able to share it with me (send me a pm)

I am trying to get the bell modem on my device to see if I can get a modem capable of dual channel HSPA and LTE on it.

Simple Mobile?

Will this work on Simple Mobile's 3G Network? I have a 3G only plan, and I want to make sure before I invest $600+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alnova1:
I don't see why it wouldn't. Its a T-mobile radio and simple works with a t-mobile phone so it should. Just like the Note is an AT&T phone and I use Red pocket on my Note..same towers just like Simple uses T-mobile towers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I am considering switching to Tmo. Before I tackle the 3G possibility I am stuck obtaining any signal with a Tmo sim. I purchased an unlock from cellunlocker and ran the code using a sim from out of country. The sim unlock was successful as I get a signal bar indicator with the foreign sim inserted. The bars are empty due to no roaming agreement.

However, I went to a tmo store and when the Rep put his sim in my note there is no signal indicator at all. It just shows the circle with the line through it. The phone number appeared in settings, but nothing else. Was he supposed to enter an apn or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yellowsky:

will flashing the modem affect OTA roll outs?

Will OTAs change the back the modem???

for me, i'd rather just change the modem and leave everything else the way it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
Ok. So the apn has to be set. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
I don't see why not. You may need to make up your own flashables though because your amss.bin might be different. Backup your radio and then flash one of the fixes..at worst you'll have to recover to your backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I watched the video on you tube and the poster said once you flash the tmobile radio and have tmobile working on that sim, ( he flashed the VKL1),

He stated that putting the att sim back in the phone will still work on this tmobile radio.

I think I read one poster say this on these threads. Can anyone else confirm that the t-mobile radios will still operate the ATT sim cards as well?? Then there is no need to revert back to the ATT radio and sim swaps will be easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] guyinthebushes:
Ok, I'm still getting very slow speeds on my note after using the fix. I's showing 4g, but my speeds are still below 1mpbs down and even slower up. It's weird, because when I have 1 or no bars I can get faster and in one are on my drive home I got 6+... I tried using the other radios and they are all about the same. I am pretty jealous of you guys getting the quick speeds with minimal tweaking. Is there something i missed, or am I just unlucky?

Btw... I'm in a spot where 4g speeds are pretty dang fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
It seems like a bug for some. Try the build.prop a few pages back, test in a couple places and let me know how it goes. Also, report back which modem/rom you're using. Thanks.

I'm a bit of a n00b here and I'm at work away from a PC I can use. I read through the posts and am not 100% sure how to do it.

Also, I used the original fix on a stock rooted Note and then put the Saurom rom on and I still got the same result with both configurations. I used the KID and KLV1 radios... same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
if you are on XDA, there's no point to worry about OTA

just run any ROM you like

if and whenever a new ROM or OTA comes along, just flash back the radio after the upgrade and you are set

Does anyone have the ATT modem in CWM flashable zip? I tried the rogers modem and it didn't work correctly. I'd like to be able to have attmodem.zip and tmobilemodem.zip and be able to switch carriers just my flashing that and swapping sims.

I know I can ODIN the ATT radio, but that's not really practical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vinnyjr:
Why would they want to block it, it may just bring more customers. Just checked in on this site and I could not believe how fast you got the Note up and running on the T-Mobile radio. You are a very smart guy, great job. Makes me want to go back to T-Mobile again. I left for the LTE Verizon unlimited data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I hear that the t-mobile radios will work with att sims too. I haven't heard much confirmation on this though. It's in the video that's in this thread or the bounty one, and I read one other say the same thing.

Can anyone confirm that the t-mobile radios will enable the att sims as well as t-mobile ones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
I'll try that right now. That would be awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
The guy in the video was using the VKL1 radio. But he said most likely they both would work att sims.

International version

Hi guys,

I know you all said that the Tmobile fix will not work on the international Galaxy note version....I am just curious what the reason is....is it the hardware and if yes, what are the differences? I just bought ATT version but many of my friends say international version is better, but I don't buy it...

Just curious to know why this tmobile fix cannot be done for international version...Thank you very much!

Have had some time to test the build prop here are my results.

Indoors

Before build prop.

Avg 1.5down; 1up

After build prop.

Avg 3.8d; 1.5u

Outdoors

Before build prop.

Avg 2.6d; 1.3u

After build prop.

Avg 6.2d; 2.1u

As you can see, it was a huge improvement for me! I recommend it to everyone.

Btw the reception showed pretty low the whole time but the speeds where good... I think its not reading it correctly.

Well I'm trying again...I went to the SAUROM rom and VKL radio. Of course I have great speeds at home inside like I always did but haven't tried it away from my house yet...had a few beers so not going to risk the DUI...even though 36 beers does nothing to me...:D I still cannot get 4G also on the AT&T side like the video. I have not tweak it with build.prop but I'm hoping maybe when I go out tomorrow morning and get full bars instead of one at my house, I can pull the great speeds I am at home instead of the weak ones I was pulling with a full signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Might have something to do with the T-Mobile modem firmware not being able to provide proper power control as theorized on the Skyrocket forum here ... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23337054

That might also explain the wonky reception discrepancies and lower upload speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
shockh, some users here and on the mod thread tried that but only got a black screen after the first Samsung logo. The explanation given was that it had something to do with the different resolutions of the devices and the lack of an appropriate kernel from those roms for the Note. I tried a Skyrocket rom today with the same result ... black screen after first Samsung logo.

Plan to try again and flash a kernel for the Note just for kicks.

i am also able to use my regular network along with aws network by just pushing the telus t989 skyrocket kj3 mdm.bin (t mobile vk1 modem also worked). my telus note can now use fido network and wind mobile network 4g icon is displayed with both sim cards. no need to reflash original modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
I'll try the Telus radio, just for funsies.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Telus radio definitely works for both, but for some reason I'm getting EDGE on my T-Mobile monthly 4G SIM. Do I need to set up an APN or something?

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Got 4G working, just go into settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Network settings > Network mode and select HSPA only when on the T-Mobile sim. That made mine go from Edge to 4G, though the signal is still weaker than on the ATT sim. That could of course be due to differences in coverage, but I live downtown in a big city, so you would think all major carriers would have great coverage.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Last update, i swear. It's definitely the network, at least on downstream. I just tested on my HTC Sensation 4G and got the same download speed as on my note. Upload does seem to be significantly slower, but I'm sure someone will work out that minor detail, it still works.
