I am currently with videotron (uses aws/1700/2100) and I bought a GNote i717R and I flashed both t-mobile modem files.

Now my cell phone recognizes the carrier videotron/aws which it didn't with the stock rogers modem.

The issue is that I have no bars/111dbm which is very low :(

Any idea what is the problem ?

Also I am still under GB 2.3.6, maybe that is the issue ?

Anyways ill let you guys know

Upgrade to a JB ROM and use the Blaze modem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
I'm using AOSPxXx 2.1beta5 Rom from rootdev.org (Flapjaxxx) and the icsblaze modem. Works pretty good IMO.

Also if you are on GB, make sure you are flashing a GB Modem

Is this for GB/ICS/JB?

I've been using the uvlg3 for a bit more on JB and have seen over 10mb on H+, though the previous ics blaze did give similar results

I don't know for you but for me it doesn't work properly.

Sometimes I have 3g sometimes I don't.

When I have 1 or 0 bars, I have good signal, when I have full bars, can't even make a call or send a text.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kabuk1:
I'm having a weird issue with the Blaze modem(and ALL other modems besides the official Tmo one). I go into CWM, flash it, reboot, and I have no network. I have to reflash my rom to get the network back. It's not the "No sim" issue, it sees the sim, it just won't see the network till I reflash my rom. This has happened with several different roms, and I've tried starting with a clean rom flash too & it still happens. The only radio I can flash without this happening is the official Tmo radio. Has anyone else experienced this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mitchb:
Yup canr download the file. Any other links?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sico987:
Hey man, yeah I've had the exact same issue and I was pretty upset. If you have an old 16K simcard it will not work in the note. You need to get a new 32K sim card. With a 16K simcard you can see the network with a particular set of raidios, but the phone behaves like no sim is inserted. Pretty easy fix, but go out get a new simmy and flash the i717 it should work fine.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Yeah I've been in a 12 hour dead zone of the i717 not working on my network. The only fixes have been to re-flash radio and clear cache, but that only works about 30% of the time. I usually have to re-flash the rom, radio, then clear caches for it see the network properly. I'm using the slimbean rom and the telus radio. What are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kabuk1:
How do I tell what kind of sim card I have? I know its a 4G card cause Tmo made me get a new one in June of '11 when I bought a Sensation, but I dunno how many Ks it has :S

I should mention that I'm not getting a "no sim" error, it detects the sim, it's just not detecting the network. I should also mention that this network issue did NOT always happen. I used to be able to flash whatever modem I wanted, then one day it just started doing this after I tried a trick I tried from another thread about modifying some radio files in one of the system folders. After I messed with the files, I started getting this problem. Reflashing the rom or doing an advanced nandroid restore of just /system fixes it. This even happens after a fresh flash too- I can flash a rom, flash the radio, not mess with ANY system files, and still lose my network. So weird.

I'm also having the "dead spot" issue with Wind Mobile.

I get data and the speeds are decent when it's working, but I regularly lose the signal for extended periods of time (no data/texts/unable to make phone calls).

I have tried EVERY modem I have come across. Blaze ICS works the best, but I still have this deadspot problem regularly. It usually fixes itself or I can clear the cache and reflash the radio to get it up and working again (usually).

Any solution to this? It has always been this way for me and I've had the Note for 5+ months on Wind Mobile. Does this happen with T-Mobile users with the i717?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
I'm giving up on my note when the note 2 hits Wind. Poor WiFi, horrible sound quality regardless of ROM. Tried a GS3. Was incredible difference.

I hope the Note 2 is just as good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sharpeyedman:
Isn't flashing modems for aws not needed anymore? T-mobile has been refarming its cell towers for 1900mhz. It should all be done by end of the year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sico987:
Its kind of hard to tell the sims apart. The 32k sim is brighter and shiny. If you got your card in 11 it might be too old. If you are unable to see apns but somehow can get signal it is intact your sim card and not a droid related issue

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

I've had mine for Two months. Blaze is unstable in Toronto. I get goof connection for a couple of hours then it times out. Its still not enough for me to get the note 2 considering the resolution is pretty much the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
Just an update: I fixed my wifi issues. It was a loose contact with the wifi antenna. Just take the phone apart and pry the gold springs up gently so it makes solid contact with the antenna when re assembled.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] forgiven16:
Hm, I can't seem to get this to work on my note. The second i flash my note with the new modem's it stops recognizing my sim card. Anyone know whats up? and how to fix this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
Which modem are you flashing?

When I experienced that I just fixed permissions and cleared cached and everything worked out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] futiless:
Still waiting for another modded T989 hack so that we can get better AWS support on the i717 is it possible that we aren't getting anymore because at this point in JB the old KID modems are getting stale.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StockDC2:
Awesome. After flashing the Blaze modem, I don't get a signal anymore...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shirokishi:
worst comes to worst you could, install an ICS rom to go with that ICS radio...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teej53214:
I flashed the blaze, and the V1..... both worked , but slow speeds.. Only 1.5mb or so.. I guess I am spoiled in Milwaukee with ATT LTE.. I was trying it to see if it wa worth switching to that $30/unlimited data plan.. Its not as I need faster speeds.. SoI went back to my ATT sim and installed the ATT radio from this thread, and it did not see my sim either... Went though troubleshooting steps.. used another known good sim... didn't see it.. Luckily I read that others had luck fixing this by installing a rom... I had a back up of mine from 2 weeks ago and gave it a try.. luckily it worked and I didn't loose too much... But if you do get the error where it will not see the SIM card, just try reflashing your backup or a new rom.. it should work..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chintanjpatel:
jelly bean

i have flashed the tmobile radio on rogers i717r on stock ics rom and it runs on wind network. if i update to att jelly bean or any other stock or custom jelly bean, do i have to flash the modem again. if yes, is it the same modem tht i used earlier for ics or where do i find the modem for jelly bean to run on aws.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevearc:
flashed all 3 modems one at a time. still having a no signal issue :(

only way to get it back is to reflash my rom

using the super nexus rom 4.2.2 version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kventura:
will the blaze modem work on samsung s2 i777?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] futiless:
I haven't heard much discussion regarding it but it would seem that we are stuck at ICS with the i717 if you were like me and relying on the cheapo AWS service in area. I only pay 20 dollars a month unlimited north america calls, world texts and unlimited data all services etc. The best deal ever but I think I want to dump the i717 :(:crying: as I think it is time to move to something with AWS JB support, this phone has it not :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayjsteez:

just wondering if you have had any luck with getting your galaxy note i717 running on 4.1.2 on wind im trying to find a way to do it but noting so far and cant seem to find any answes and was wondering if you hav had any luck with it

if so can you email me at jayjsteez@gmail.com with how you did it and thanks so much if you ave not foud anything and i find something i will post it up and let you ow that i found a fix for it as well

:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wraith79:
I have confirmation, that the i717r works on Videotrons network. I'm using cyanogen mod 10.1.0 RC2, the telus modem, nobars battery saver and network signal boost. Works like a charm.:laugh:

Update: I ended up having issues with the telus radio, not all texts were going through and I would have to try and resend several times. So, I started looking around and I found another iteration of Blazes modem mods, BLAZE 4G LF4 radio. Flashed it, I'm not having any issues what so ever, with texts or phone calls. Unfortunately, I don't have data, so, I can't tell you what data speed are like, but, I'm pretty sure, if there is someone using videotron and has a data plan, they'll be able to share their results.

Tried the blaze one on my i717 , then reboot now i cant acces to mobile networks, it says : inset a sim car or something like that , on system info there is no baseband, there is no imei number and lots of things says "unknown" :s
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
Tried your recipe, it's works better than before, but still seldomly gets disconects

seems like the Cyanogenmod really makes the phone more stable.

working great with cm-10.1.2-quincyatt.zip http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=quincyatt

and even the most recent cm-10.1.3-RC2-quincyatt.zip http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=RC&device=quincyatt

I flash the radio from SGH-T879 (UVLG3 Tmo version of Notes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1895400) and that finally makes the phone stable, with no disconects, however... data 3G throughoutput is not so great, the Blaze radio gives better 3G data throughoutput but is not stable, you might miss calls or SMS when the radio is not working

there is even a newer UVMA1 version, i'll check it out later to see if it gets better performance on 3G while maintaining good connectivity

---- UPDATE ----

Tested with stock ROM and it's a no go, only works great with CM10

well it's a small trade off to lose some S-pen functionality for a good working radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] valent|n0:
will this mod still works fine with telus stock 4.1.2 rom? or it needs to have a custom rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:

Only works good with the CynanogenMod 10 and up.

the speed ain't as good as the T989 or i727

but it does get about between 2 ~ 3 Mbps down from Wind vs. the usual of 7 ~ 8 Mbps down

it eats battery like there's no tomorrow, probably because the radio originally was designed for LTE instead of HSPA+

LTE is known to eat battery like a pig

i'm running the Tmo KID radio, the same one i use on my T989

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unleashed12:
hey guys i just bought a bell note so it would work on wind,i flashed everything fine, get signal "wind home" nice 4 bars and what not..however, the data is SO SLOW, like it loads slower than dialup, even mobile web pages take forever to load, what is wrong? i look at all gamers screen shots and the speeds look so nice.

i have a galaxy nexus that runs fine in my house on the wind network, so signal is not an issue where i live, again even on the note i get excellent signal but data is so slow.

i tried all the band preference things u suggested.

please help, would like this to work otherwise id have to sell this thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
you should get at least 2 Mbps to 3 Mbps down

if your Galaxy Nexus works fine on the same location, but the G'Note is not getting 2 or 3 down, then something is not configured right.

flash another radio, and try the Build.prop mentioned above
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
You do realized Wind and Mobilicity uses DATA for their phone calls right?

unstable DATA = unstable phone calls

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
Wind Home of course, anything else will just be roaming for us

is not my primary phone, but i do use it quite often as the primary phone, because i only have 1 SIM card with Unlimited data, LOL :p else i'll be using it more often as the main phone

the reason why? the battery... this phone is beautiful fast, and amazing, however the super HD screen is a super power drain

yet the screen is so precious and addicting, you can't help not to use it

when i do use it as a Primary phone, i need to lower the brightness and under clock the CPU to like 800 Mhz, else the battery is gone in 4 hours

if you put it on Airplane mode it last longer, but that defeats the purpose of a PHONE

the battery drains even faster when on WiFi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkisho:
