I think you meant to quote the instructions:

- Download preferred version of Radio

- Boot into clockwork recovery

- Install Radio from SD Card

- Boot it up, wait till it connects

- Fix APN settings as necessary

- Now your good to go!

* DO NOT flash over fresh install for better results *

I searched SIM in the thread, there a few suggestions for people who had SIM issues... but to answer your "what do you mean question" ...

I searched REBOOT in the thread (because I did not see that you had tried that middle step, if you have, sorry for not being sure from your post) and saw tspx23 (OP) posted this suggestion/clarification on May 30, 2012:

"Also, if you do a fresh install. install the Rom let it boot. then reboot and flash the radio again."

(History: only sim missing message issue I recall ever having was due to a "old sim" that needed to be upgraded (more memory?) a long time ago (someone in this thread had something similar, I think) ... - local T-Mobile store replaced it for free... since then the ICS BLAZE modem has always worked, though I found another option involving a amss/modem taken from the newer T-Mobile ROM for the T-Mobile version of the i717 in another thread that I liked for a while (see my old posts) then went back to the ICS BLAZE here... no matter the ROM, using TWRP or CWM, only had to fix APN settings once... I try to remember to always use this method for the modem: fresh ROM install (steps vary, so omitted here), reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik again, install TMO ICS Blaze modem, reboot (wait for signal)... :) ... oh, and once when I forgot to put the sim card back into the phone properly, duh!

My setup: i717 with JamieD's CWM 10.1 / JB 4.2.2 and the ICS Blaze modem ... Washington state

You might have to repost your question or wait for a better answer if this didn't really help... sorry.

Uvlg3 is for ICS. Look up a few posts for a JB modem.

So I just bought my dad an i717 for his birthday... I will be connecting it to either T-mobile or one of the off-brands that piggy back off of them.

We live in NYC.

I was going to put the latest JB 4.1 or 4.2 ROM on this device, is there any reason to still flash a T-mo modem since T-mo supports HSPA+ as well as LTE AT&T bands in select areas (NYC being one of which)?

If you guys recommend using a JB T-mo modem, which would you recommend?

Thanks a lot for the help. Picked up an unlocked i717 on newegg for $360.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DollarStrawz:
WORKING with Blaze modem!!

Hey guys, I just got ahold of an i717 and its working good ...so far. (fingers crossed real tight) This is what I did. I'm on Solavei another MVNO that runs TMO. I live in Boise, Idaho.

1. Ran a Darkside super wipe.

2. Flashed Slim Quincyatt-4.2.2.build.4.3-UNOFFICIAL ............. USING TWRP!

3. Flashed Gapps....then

4. Flashed the icsblaze.zip that I got here. (THANK YOU SO MUCH!)

5. Rebooted and let the ROM come up. I was so excited to see an H up in corner at first and then shortly after an H+

Before this I was stuck on EDGE on my One X (I'm getting a really good deal on my service, so I was all damn! I need a TMO phone now!! Then I traded phones with my girlfriend (shes on att) for her Note i717 complete with pink case and cupcake headphone port plug. LOL The data kind of fluctuated in and out but it seems to be holding for the most part. After these good results I am now left wondering if I should try any of the other modems (blaze was the first) since I'm on JB and maybe theres a little better one I could try i.e. the UVLG3 modem that the above poster said is doing well. Here are some screens. You can see that it kind of inconsistent but hey!! I'm not complaining. This method has worked awesome for me.. cant wait to do more testing on it tomorow. So I really want to thank everyone who worked on it and tested it. Did any of you have similar experience? If so what would be another good one to try based on my setup and story so far. I tried searching for Jelly Bean and read entire thread not seeing too much about 4.2 JB I'm a little afraid to mess with it but if you guys have tried another radio on 4.2 and have gotten a solid connect I'd like to hear what you did. I switch ROMS often so it wouldnt matter if I had to reflash. Once again THANKS SO MUCH!

Looks like my sweetheart wont be getting her phone back lol... but she got a one x!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tube517:
Going to try this today. Weird thing is I just got my Note and it had Gingerbread stock ROM (unrooted) on it and I put my TMobile sim card and was getting LTE. When I flash a new ROM, I get no mobile signal, only TMobile phone service
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DollarStrawz:
Oh that's weird that you didn't have to flash the new radio and it was already picking up lte. I was having some problems with most of the 4.2 rom's that I used so I went back to a 4.1 AOKP. I read in forums and elsewhere that people were getting great results with the VKL1 radio so I tried JUST flashing that radio on top of the ROM I was using and that gave me no signal. I got it working by flashing all three components together. ROM, Gapps, Blaze radio in that order then booting. Now it seems to be working good. I wish this would work on my One X!! I dont know why it wont work for me when only changing the radio. I must be missing a step, not wiping some part of it or something. No matter what this is awesome that I can use these MVNO's on this great phone without suffering through edge.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:

KID/VK1 are S2 based.

just flash and pick which one works best for you, depending on your location it varies.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ballu84:
Flashed kid (.5 down, .2 up)

Then flashed VLK (0.00 down, 1.16 up)

Went back to jeets blaze (3.74-6.28 down, .97-2.14 up)

The only issue i have with jeets is that the ping takes longer to connect so the phone takes longer to connect to 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mythus:
still having issues with stability. this thing spikes whenever i move out of my house.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
with all three?

And that's odd, i'll look into it more when i get my note back but its possible your modem responds to the mod differently. Some people have reported higher speeds with the KID/UVLK1 it's also dependent on your area...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mythus:
Yup, I've tried about every radio to this point. I have 18 radios in my folder. I had straight talk last month, and that was working pretty well. Yet, now im back in tmobile, and this is just annoying. The spike is really bad. At times with your radio, it can hit 9mb/ 300kbs. Yet, while on the bus to work, I can hardly get through a website within the 40 minute transportation.

Hit the back button until you exit the menu and wait a little bit for bit to reconnect and try your speed tests. You should see some improvement.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
are the guys posting with slow download speeds flashing over the other radio hack?

Also, if you do a fresh install. install the Rom let it boot. then reboot and flash the radio again.

If those two things aren't the issue i'm not really sure what the problem could be. Maybe your device just isn't able to pick up the signal, each one behaves differently.

I will be taking a look at Telus and some other AWS based radios to port later on.

I just want to say that following the OP instructions to the letter is imperative to get the best performance. So, if you're having issues with any of these radios, please make sure you've started from scratch and begin again before posting that it doesn't work. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
UVKL1 is already ported just mixed up the letters.

Maybe. Some people have flashed the ICS radio on gingerbread with success. I don't recommend it though, these radios have the UCLE2 modem, therefore it can cause some instability issues.

I would stick to the gb radios found in the general section. The ones there are essentially modified versions of the skyrocket radio I posted a while back.

And thanks for this.

If for some reason the hack is not working please try a fresh install and follow instructions. It seems like it is working for a lot of people. And if that still doesn't work, your radio just may not be as strong as others.

Problem Flashing Old Radio

Is anybody having issues going back/flashing back a previous modem/radio?

I tried the ICS Blaze radio in this thread (installed fine). Was testing to see what modems worked best overall at various locations. When I attempted to flash a previous ICS Blaze radio (from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24422331#post24422331), upon restarting, I could not connect to any operator (manually or automatically setting an operator give 'network error.' Fortunately, I was able to restore my backup I made prior to flashing any modem.

- running unofficial CM9 w/ 5.1 patch

- using TeamWin Recovery 2.1.4 (latest)

- cleared cache and dalvik in recovery then flashed new ICS Blaze modem

- rebooted all the way and able to test new radio

- reboot to recovery...cleared cache and dalvik then flashed old ICS Blaze modem

- restarted phone...gets all the way back up but shows no signal (data is enabled but no APN settings) and unable to search/choose network operator

- reboot to recovery ...cleared cache and dalvik...reflashed new ICS modem...then restarted...same symptom...

- reboot to recovery ...cleared cache and dalvik....flashed old ICS modem...then restarted...same symtom...

- finally restored from backup (w old ICS Blaze radio)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deliriousbb:
Here are some results from my test.

It seems that the VK1 works best for me. In good areas I got around 8-10mbps down and 1-2 up. That is great for me.

The Blaze modem seems to lag in latency and the upload speeds were below par.

As for the KID, it was between the VK1 and the blaze. I will run with the VK1 for a couple days and see there are any changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I think this happened to me too but I didn't get any messages- just no data connection and a circle in the top right of the status bar. I think I flashed a GB modum by mistake, that circle happened, no data.

I reflashed a known working modem on my phone and no connection. I had to reflash with a full wipe the ics rom, then flash the appropriate radio. That took the circle away, and I had data.

This happened again when I was switching ics radios to do what you did- see which one is better. I got the circle, no data. Tried to reflash the rom without wipe, didn't fix it. I had to wipe, flash rom, then flash radio.

I officially moved to tmo! In the middle of porting my number from ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tspx23:
the problem with other radios are that they include ril files that overwrite the ones that are included in the rom. i think a workaround would be to delete the ril files located in the system folder of the radios you are going to flash. this should keep everything in tact.

let me know
