Cool. I'm using Alliance Novena Rom. With the n7005 modem. I only get 1.69 down and. 07 up. I've tried blaze also, it gives me 1.3 down and. 06 up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Have you tried the *#2263# to open up the menu, open up wcdma, select 850 band, back out, let signal return, go back into the same menu, and select all, and close. This boosts your data speeds. (there is a thread about this too- called something like "boost your tmobile speeds") I am pulling this up from memory. Think its correct. I can't get into the menu anymore with that code on 4.2. This usually doubles your upload speed and makes a difference on DL too. I use to redline in the DL and got anywhere from 1-2 up. You have to do this with every boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sjohnjuan:
Yeah. I found that thread. After about a hour of looking. I went from. 1.69 to 9.28. I'm happy with that. Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
LOL. Pretty cool, huh? Not too shabby. What did your upload speed go to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sjohnjuan:
Upload speed went from .7 to 2.71

How to make hotspot work?

When I stayed in gingerbread (with blaze modem, and SAUROM_XLA2_RCVII rom), I was able to do hotspot without forcing to sign up with T-mobile. I am on the $30 4G plan.

However, if I use the T989 rom and modems, in addition to very annoying lags, it also won't allow me to do hotspot with the prepiad plan and brought me to t-mobile site to ask me sign up and pay for that feature.

Also, My old modem/rom combo (GB 2.3) can do phone recording. I am wondering if the hotspot and recording functions are tight to rom or modem. Any ideas? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] powerbooks:
Working combination of ROM and Modem

I also want to verify what sashusmom has suggested. I flashed my AT&T Note with Jedi 4 ROM, and the modified radio-UVLG3modemfori717_gt-n7005amss. The phone is surprisingly simple, smooth, and fast. I also got very good performance when in strong signal area, with up to 13Mbps up and 1.3 Mbps down.

Still, two things are missing: (1) No phone recording capability; (2) no *#2366# network selection ability in this combination. The reason I like the option (2) is that I may not stay in the strong signal area (city). At home, I barely reach 3G speed like 2 Mbps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
I think if you use a tmobile rom- tmo has control over your tethering. Try Jedi4 for tmo and your tmo modem. See if that lets you use hotspot. (or any other custom rom for tmo).

Nevermind. I see you already did this. Could you tether??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] powerbooks:
Yes, I can tether with your combination with my prepaid plan :) but still can not record. Not sure if any modification would enable phone recording. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
I seem to remember reading about google voice and the ability for phone recording. Check into that. Good luck.

Installing the superuserSU app from G bullet would not work on the latest rom, atleast on my phone. So I have downloaded both applications from method 3 section of this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217840 and flashed them through TWRP.

On a side note: will TWRP 2.5 for international galaxy note work on tmobile galaxy note (currently only 2.3 version is available)?

failed OTA update after rooting T-Mobile Note SGH-T879

I've rooted and installed CWM on T-Mobile Note SHG T-879

Recently I installed the T879-STOCK RECOVERY IMAGE in order to get the OTA update from T-Mobile.

However after downloading the update and booting into T879-STOCK RECOVERY IMAGE, the process is stopped and aborted at 10% completion mark then rebooting.

Any info on how to get the OTA update is appreciated.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Try it anyway and tell me how it works for you. I posted the radios for the i717 in the original post (post 1) right next to the T879 radio. My guess is, if blaze could get you uploads of .4-1Mbs, this will get you the same or better if you flash the whole rom as the guide suggests. Blaze never got me past .5Mbs so I am getting the same here. BUT, where as Blaze would get me about 3-5Mbs on a good day, this one is getting me about 3-11Mbs. now. I would try it. Just keep your backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Lvnlegendinc:
I have noticed flashing a radio over another radio seems to kill ur results... when i flash a fresh rom thru CWM plus a radio im getting good results... Im on UCLF6 and ICS Blaze and im good... dont know if that will kill what i got if I reflash the new tmobile ROM plus radio.

So should I flash the rom and radio on the new updated guide?

X THAT I read another post u made on another thread im following.. I know whats the best process

Thanks for the hard work!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
It really shouldn't make a difference cause when you flash one radio on top of another radio, it just replaces it.

Still playing here. I will do speed tests on blaze first and then flash the t-mo radio, and repeat. I never really got much more than .3-.7 on UL speeds on blaze, but would redline the DL's, especially at nite. I am curious how this will go!!!!!!:)

Well this is poor results with the t-mo rom and the tmo radio with my ATT note. Unless I did something wrong. Will have to look tonite when I have time.:crying: My results are all the ones above the 10 mbps- that was the blaze.

And it's still very hot. Unusable for me. Will do it again tonite and see. Tried to check the ril with getRil- but that app says the device is unsupported. Don't know if that has anything to do with stuff.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Hmm. It really shouldn't be so bad. Try flashing the pre-root image in Odin. That's what I am running. You're gonna have to test for me because my phone has intermittent "no sim card inserted" issues. Let me know how that works.

Definitely. Follow the guide in post 2. Everything's been updated now so it should be a smooth experience. No keyboard force closes. Internet speeds still might not be much of an improvement from Blaze. You tell me.

I was only topping out at .7 mbps UL's at the most! Now I an going from .6 to >1 mbps. I still have the foiled mod under the battery on the bottom of the phone.

T-Mobile Note and loop devices

Hi ROM gurus, I just got my first Note (T879) last week.

Do any of the ROMs working for it so far support loop devices? If not, would one of you guys put one together? That would rock! (Also, please use cwm so I don't have to borrow a windows machine again! ;) )

Bruce Long

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
Well, my last post held lots of promise for the latest tmo updated rom and the matching modem for my at&t Note. The screenshot from last nite at 3am showed DL speeds of 7-9 mbps and UP speeds of .6->1 mbps. My best UL's yet.

Unfortunately now during the busy daytime - on a Sat- those speeds fell to what my old UL speeds were, and the DL speeds are a little worse- Use to get 5-10 on DL, much better than even on the at&t network. Now it is fluctuating- inconsistent. So see my screenshot below. I think I will reflash the blaze modem and see how that is with this t-mo rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
I am on the official tmobile note and my uploads fell to .3-.8 between yesterday and today. Downloads were as high as 20Mbs though and as low as .3Mbs so there might be some other factors. Waiting for my data plan to renew tomorrow to see if things improve with a fresh cycle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
So, to give you guys an update. Just flashed the ileet blaze modem (tmobile) for the att phone. This is a CWM file made for the at&t phone. This is about an hour later than my last post. Speed tests are in the red zone. Much better performance than with the t-mo modem for the IMM76D.UVLG3 rom with the matching radio.

So I am running the tmobile IMM76D.UVG3 rom with the ileet Blaze modem for the ATT phone. DL speeds > 10 consistently. UP speeds > 0.3, consistently. So this is my best combination so far. I'll be staying on this till something better comes along.

Will be up for testing. Tomin, you sent me a curve sending me back to odin. Had to read up on how to do it since I haven't used it in months..lol:p But flashing the tmo rom that way fixed the heat issue I was having. It was still warm with the modem, but not the hot-hot hot that it was. I seem to have no heat issue with the above combination of tmo rom + Blaze modem.

@ tomin- You have been working your butt off for this forum and I thank you for your efforts!:D Outstanding.:highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Cool. NP. Guess upload speeds continue to be my biggest issue. Sucking down 0.3Mbs all the time now on the T879. Oh well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] sashusmom:
If I'm up tonite at 2 or 3 am, I'll retest and see if UL speeds improve on off peak hours on Blaze modem. Maybe that's all we will get on peak times whether on official radio or modded ones.

Only reason I would want better UL speeds is to run voip over 4g- which I probably will only do once in a blue moon. I have found I'm not using my 100 minutes/month, and just by keeping an extra $5 in your account to pay 10 cents/minute over and above our 100 allowable minute is a good way to expand those 100 minutes.

DL speeds are great for me. On ATT non-lte (I don't live in a lte area), hspa only, I was only getting 2-3 mbps on DL and 1.5 mbps on UL. So, using DL data mostly, I will gladly trade off the UL speed for >10 mbps on the DL.

When I was in NYC on lte, DL and UL speeds were >20 mbps- that was very cool. I dropped ATT, so that won't happen again ;(

But I like the $30/month ($28.50 with calling mart deals). That's a Good trade-off.;)

**************************************

retest of the blaze modem at 2am-DL speeds 10-13 mbps, UL speeds .5-.65 mbps

I just wanted to thank you for your hard-work.

I have ATT Note i717 and just flashed T-Mobile Pre-Rooted ROM as per your instruction. Flashed the T-Mobile Modem in CWM. I was on ICS UCLF6 Rom with Blaze Modem with a lot of fluctuation from 0.5mbps to 6.0mbps on download. Now, for the first time since owning the Note, I am gettting upto 12.0mbps and consisitently above 8.0mbps download. Upload is still little slow with about 1.0mbps but I am a happy camper.

The phone is getting little hot but I don't care. I'm happy and it's due to your hard-work. Keep it up. THANKS!!!!!!:):):)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] corazon62788:
Hello everyone im baving a little bit of an issue and hope I could receive some belp. i have the att note i717 but im with tmobile. My phone is rooted, and sim unlocked. I flashed the rom and and the stock recovery from the tmobile note as per instructions . Everything is working great including wifi calling. The only problem im having is that the baseband version keeps saying that it is unknown. did i do something worng? under phone info it also now says its the sgh-t879. Ive tried to flash diffrent modems thru cwm but everytime i do, it messes with the imei so i then have to go back and do a restore from my last backup Thank you for your time and hard work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] javip:
tomin:

is there something more we have to do when we flash that odin file to let us boot att roms?

i flashed it through odin using the PDA box. it flashed with no errors but any att rom i try is still boot looping on the samsung logo. i'll the exact rom posted that worked for you to see if that one boots.

i'd really like to try one of the miui or paranoid roms out there on my new t-mo note.

again, thanks for this awesome thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Depends on the rom. Until they are officially ported or compiled for the t879 it's guess work as to which will work with just a boot.img flash. They are not my roms so I not going to tweak them etc. but this is what I did to get DAGr's AOKP CM9 to boot:

1. Get the rom flashable zip

2. Get CWM specifically for the I717. This is important because a lot of dev insist on assert checks to verify the you're installing the rom on. Safety first, but it can be a pain. I don't think I have that file on the server so do a quick search on the I717 forum for the quincy-att cwm.

3. Flash the rom

4. Flash the T-mobile boot.img.

5. If you're having trouble, try flashing the i717 boot.img. That didn't work for me though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] javip:
tomin.

thanks for all the insight. i couldn't get anything to boot. i tried DAGr's AOKP CM9 from both CWM touch and from twrp 2.2.1.1 and CWM would refuse to flash it but twrp did fine.

i used a combination of both recoveries and about 4 different roms and both the ATT and TMO boot.img.

using CWM and DAGr's rom with the ATT boot.img my computer would actually see the device connect but nothing else.

using the TMO boot.img i would get no computers recognition but there would be some weird display flashes on my phone.

for now i'm just restoring my backup from twrp (prefer it over cwm).

thanks for all the help and info you've put into this thread.

hopefully someone smarter than i can port over those att roms :)

thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Wierd. It booted up fine for me. Maybe I forgot to include a step. Will try again after a nandroid back up. Small question, you are flashing the tmobile boot.img AFTER flashing the rom right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] javip:
yeah i'm flashing the t-mo boot.img after flashing the rom. i thought that was the mistake i was making until i re-read the instructions and noticed you flashed it afterwards.

twrp didn't fail on any of the roms i flashed. CWM failed on a few with the assert checks.

both did fine with DAGr's AOKP CM9 rom.

here the process i did.

1:(either recovery, i tried one then the other.)

2: wiped everything first

3: flashed rom

4: flashed t-mo radio (i do this because i tried flashing a straight att rom that included an att rom, then when i restored my nandroid my radio was from the other rom, i always flash the radio you posted for t-mo on here.)

5: flashed t-mo boot img.

6: after it fails i flash the att boot.img (you can tell the difference because it doesn't show the GALAXY NOTE 4g boot).

the att boot.img gets me further cause my pc recognizes an mtp device but doesn't show anything listed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Ok. Let me check my steps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] daminux:
Am tring to copy a apk file in tp system app and it says i cant no memory enogh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Ok. Success. I got it to boot again. The steps you followed look good and I confirmed that it is the t-mobile boot image you need (at least to get to the home screen and have a usable system.

As for the boot.img, just want to make certain that you are flashing the file "t-mob-stock-boot.img.tar" from post 1and flashing that in odin.

When it reboot, you may not see the unicorn boot logo. I rebooted twice and did not see it. The first time I though something was wrong then the homescreen popped up. About the MTP not showing up, that's an expected area. Storage options - external and usb - don't work yet I am guessing because of some kernel incompatibilities.

Would love for you to try again. In the mean time, just got a PM so I am sure something may be coming soon ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Hey,

Sounds like you did not flash the T-mobile radio, otherwise the baseband would read UVLG3. If you were on the Blaze radio before, then you are on Blaze now. Blaze is a good radio but it is common for it to throw baseband unknown in about phone. Once it works well for you though it works. If it is not working for you, then try the UVLG3 modem. Make sure you download and flash the one for the i717.
