Not sure about your first question (but I understand it), but I think the Note 3 is going to end up the same. Out of the box it doesn't do AWS HSPA+.

Thanks for answering my question.

"Has anyone been able to get the i317 to turn on AMR-WB after the AWS mod?"

Note 2's AMR-WB when on T-mobile is aka "HD Voice". It's a great feature but it is disabled on the i317. I am not sure how to turn it back on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
I know what it is :) I "solved" it by switching to a T-Mobile Note 2 (also for other, more technical reasons). But now I'm on an AT&T S4 using this exact same mod. Well, the Galaxy S4 equivalent but it works the exact same way. A lot of people, even on the T-Mobile S4/Note 2 didn't know how to turn it on. They say they just randomly flashed a kernel or ROM and it permanently stayed turned on. I know that, on the international Note 2/S4, there's a debug menu option to turn it on and off. However, those menus are defined by the modem (such as when you dial #0011*#) and so aren't available on our US variants since you modems are specific to each model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tinkerer76:
That sounded a little drunk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Perseus:
I'd start with the basics. Most JB Roms have explicit setting in Quick Setting panel to turn on LTE. If its not there, go to Settings>More>Mobile Network>Network Mode. While there, also check the Access Point Names. Check to see if you have the ATT highspeed APN selected as default.

If the above does not exist, then you have more basic and bigger problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
You can't enable LTE on the N7100. It has a different baseband (modem), which doesn't do LTE. The N7100 does EDGE and HSPA+ only. The N7105 does LTE, but not on any bands that are compatible with AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Perseus:
Neither Does SGH-T999. On the that device you can't get true H+ speed unless you turn on the Mis-labelled LTE quick Setting Tile. Besides more important point is the APN. T999 does better speed if you chose LTE APN rather than the standard APN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Yeah I know. But I mean the physical modem is an Intel based one rather than the Qualcomm 9215M that's in all of the US models. What you said is weird though; I have an S4, so I use LTE. But if I use the old APN (epc.tmobile.com), I get better HSPA+ speeds (and LTE still works).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Perseus:
Various reasons for that. Different modems different coverage etc etc.

Can u manually select aws on att note 2 after applying this qpst method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
You can but you shouldn't have to. Thing is, this mod, for a lot of people, including myself, was not as stable on the AT&T Note 2 as is on the AT&T S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smithjohnatpa:
Can you please give me steps how to change NV# , I am pretty new for these steps. I updates file using op steps. Now needs to get faster speed using this step.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
This mod already does that. You can confirm it if you dial *#0011# while data is transferring and going into Basic Information. On the bottom it'll say "DC-HSPA+ 1"

Registers with "Wind Home" 1/10th of the time.

After I have applied the the ATT_I317_AWSMOD_dumimei.qcn file (provided by sjravi) on my Rogers SGH-I317M, it's only able to connect to the Wind network only 1/10 of the time.

Under "About device->Status", it does appear to be connected to the "Wind Home" network but it fails to establish connection with the mobile network. In fact, when I try to search for network operators, it can't find anything.

I've tried setting the Service Mode to "Automatic" and "WCDMA ALL", but nothing works.

I didnt modify the Rogers Note 2 myself, but the person I purchased from was nice enough to modify for me. Since then I havent faced any issues. However, since the ROM on it is 4.1 and I need the new one. I am more concerned if I try to install the new ROM on it, will it undo the modification, resulting it my phone not working with Mobilicity?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
You can flash anything except a modem (which most custom ROMs don't include or at least give you the option not to install) and it will stick. Even then, it takes literally less than 5 minutes to redo the mod.

You should try it if you have the latest modem. On the galaxy s4 4.3 modem they seem to have attempted to block the mod :(

BUT But buttttt I just PC One Click flashed it, twice already, once cause I was curious and tried to flash the N7100 Note 3 app's and so it didn't work and TWRP Nandroid doesn't work yet, so I had to flash again and just got all my app's restored...

I just might try in awhile... LoL

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Just finished trying it, everything went through successfully!!

Took a long time cause my main pc, windows 8.1 pro x64 kept saying qpst couldn't be started correctly or something, so I had to use my HTPC with windows 7 ultimate x86 on and it decided to be sluggish as hell while doing it.

But yup it works, I can already tell cause now my connection is jumping and dancing back and forth between 4g and lte where as before I had a contast lte connection, but IDC if it means better coverage elsewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sharpeyedman:
Now does N7100 also use same chip as t889 or att note 2 ?

Would this method work on N7100 as well?

Thought N7100 did not have 1700 aws band unlike att note 2 which uses 1700 for lte
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
In my opinion, it should work... I really do believe all Note 2 are the same thing... (at least all GSM Note 2's...) No matter if it is N7100, N7105, T889, I317... Is just that the radio is pre enabled for the specific carrier it will be in... Specifically N7105, T889 and I317... I believe they are the same thing... If you mod that... (the NV partition) all Notes al capable of the same thing, any band... That's my believe...

You just need to take a deep breath, have balls of steel... And restore an NV backup from a I317 and see what happens...

Then comeback here and post the results... For everyone to see and learn...

Also... That's exactly what everyone was saying about the I317... "it doesn't have AWS bands, bla bla bla..." and now is proven to be wrong... It does have AWS bands...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
But the N7100 does not have LTE, only the N7105 has the LTE radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mailistman:
ruinkhan, are you using t889 from t-mo ? what makes our qcn backup file size so different ?

i will re-backup just to see if any difference with the 1st.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cheunk:
o if I can get an i317m qcn and use qpst to restore it on a t889v it won't overwrite the imei but it will allow me to use lte on rogers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Yes your imei will not change for sure but cannot assure you about lte, its still not been verified.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] braintez:
Thanks to sjravi, tekhd and other developers for their time on this! Quite a breakthrough, indeed.

Perhaps this question should be in the T-Mobile section, but since this is where all the hacking seems to be centered: As it's mentioned that the reverse-case (enabling LTE on t889) is also possible, are the NV parameters to enable this known? What's posted are the parameters for AWS on an AT&T device but how about the other way around?

I would like to try Method 2 here so I'm eager to see if anyone has studied this. Apologies if this was covered and I missed it. The thread goes in different directions so gets a little choppy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinnyj85:
Is there a noob friendly version of this I'm very confused but really really need this to happen I have att note 2 and have tried everything but this to get 3g/4g on it through tmo

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinnyj85:
Thank you so much im going to try this as soon as I get off work btw if something goes horribly wrong can we use odin or our nandroid backup to go back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbqfly:
if you restore your qcn file i do not believe you have to start all over again, you just need to change the value of line 01877 as that is the only thing i had to do after i restored my original qcn file. also restoring your original qcn file will actually fix your slow data speed just remember to change the value of 01877 again

When using NV reader/writer v1.0, I can click connect and it appears to connect, but when I hit read, it runs through different baud rates and subsequently fails with a "Failed..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
Re-install samsung usb drivers

Make sure to

Dial *#7284# and select "Qualcomm USB Settings" then check "RMNET (or RNDIS) + DM + MODEM Wait till it installs all needed drivers. Go to device manager and see if you have samsung usb port (under Ports).

Re-connect your device if needed then open NV writer+ reader. click at Ports (top left corner and select your serial port (not Modem port).

click connect and keep pressing "Read" until it reads. You might have to try up to 10-15 times, so don't lose hope.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
Figured it out.

I figured it out. I had to go into the *#7284# menu to enable the com port. It was set to mtp/adb only.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
T-Mobile has a set amount of bandwidth for certain regions. Houston has a huge population so there's less bandwidth that each customer can take advantage of. Yes, you make live in an LTE area, but in reality your speeds will only be as fast as the bandwidth that's available to you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
No its more of a regional basis. But the speedtest app isn't the most reliable (if that's what you're basing this off of). Depending on what server you're connected to you could pull down 10mbps or 50. But the differences you're seeing could be due to radio strength in each device.

Hi all, great thread here. I'm about 1/2 way through reading it, but I thought I'd post with my progress so far.

- Bought an i317m locked to Rogers here in Canada

- Unlocked it with no problems (except for downgrading the radio) using the guide here on XDA

- Rooted with TWRP, no problems

- I used the QPST/qcn method on page one of this thread - no problems identifying and connecting the phone with my Win7 laptop, the steps were followed and completed as per the guide

- I cannot get my Wind SIM to work on Wind home.

- I can connect to Wind Away no problem - I even get the roaming screen.

The SIM works just fine in my Galaxy Nexus in the location I trying to fiddle with this Note 2. Speakout and Telus SIMs work in my now unlocked Note 2.

Different things I have tried:

- I'm on stock 4.1.2. I'm struggling to find a stock 4.1.1 that will actually install.

- I'm not comfortable with using the NV method and messing with hex

- I've tried two different Rogers radios (the old one and the MA4)

- I can get to the WCDMA preference menu and select WCDMA1700 but then I get no signal. When I switch back to WCDMA1900 or WCDMAALL, I get Wind Away again.

What can I log to best get you the information you need to help me?

I'm loving the phone on wifi right now and am very keen to get it going on the 1700/AWS band.

QUESTION: From my understanding I thought you needed your imei from an at&t to be overwritten by the t-mobile qnc file, no?. Is there is a way to null the imei. Can someone enlighten me please, I searched high and low for an answer to no avail......

What has to be done to the qcn file once extracted from the T-Mobile, before it can be used on an AT&T? Say I wanted to do it to 50 phones....

EDIT: I guess maybe the better question would be, If I write the qcn file provided in this thread to an AT&T Note II, will it change my IMEI, and if not why?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
I'm not a dev but you have to zero out the IMEI (consult the OP of this thread for how) and then simply restore the Metro backup onto the AT&T model.

Is it possible to "Fully Convert" a i317 ATT to be a T889 T-mobile?

One down side for this AWS mod I noticed is that it prefers HSPA+ over LTE in a lot of places. My friend with T-mobile traveled with me on a trip, my i317 with this AWS gets great signal but often its on HSPA instead of LTE in the same exact spot. His default to LTE almost everywhere there is LTE.

I wonder if there is a way to flash the complete firmware from T889, modem and all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rekamyenom:
I know how to do that, I am wanting to Write the Metro qcn file I have to the AT&T Device without it disturbing the IMEI on the AT&T Device. Right now I have created a qcn file from the Metro that I have zero'd out the IMEI, I am writing it to the AT&T device then having to go back in and put the original IMEI back on the phone. There is a way to not have to do that and I do not know how. Like they do it here. LINK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rekamyenom:
I have successfully Enabled T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527

What I did was take the qcn file from the Metro PCS Mega and used a Hex editor to delete the IMEI so when I wrote it to my AT&T Mega the IMEI showed 00000000000000, then I just wrote the Original IMEI back to my phone.

I still say there has to be a one step process where we can take the qcn from the Metro PCS phone, manipulate it somehow so when we write it to the AT&T Phone it doesn't bother the IMEI

Anyone?

Again, even though I get the 2 error messages, the file still writes, but I can't help but think I should NOT be getting those 2 error messages. I got none with the Note 2. What's weird is it says, "THE MODEL NUMBER IN THE QCN FILE AND THE PHONE DO NOT MATCH" I even get that error when I try to write the original file I that I backed up from the exact phone back to it. Weird. Maybe the QSPT Program I am using is not compatible with this newer device? (Pulling my hair out)
