[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
I will do this tonight with my I317, can anyone post a more clear set of instructions? I already have the T-Mobile ROM posted on the AT&T dev section as well as the AT&T ROM on T-Mobile's dev section... This is a huge discovery... I mean huge... Please, anyone care to elaborate on this... Better instructions... I have both the T889 and the I317... And I will test this as soon as there is a better guide... Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbqfly:
the options i see are

mtp

mto+adb

ptp

ptp+adb

rndis+dm+modem

dm+modem+adb

just found out i can select any mode with DM

thanx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
Indeed this a huge plus for our At&t Note. I wasnt expecting this to be done this early, but the man did it. My hands are now itching to try this and save $50 a month by switching to AWS network. I would really love to see easier instructions [not all of us hackers ;) ]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
select rndis+dm+modem, sorry but that is the option on my ATT note 2 also :D

Yes you can select any mode with DM (Diag mode) which enables the diagnostic port to the baseband.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bestplayer55:
What is the use of this? I dont get it yet lol. Btw i seem when my note display 3g the internet dosnt work i need wait seconds to display h or h+ and then works. Is that normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Okay I got home... any good instructions yet? ready to do this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
It allows people that have At&t Note 2 to use their device with T-Mobile's 1700 frequency band (or 2100 if there is).

In Canada its a big big plus as it allows people like me to be:

1.Free from 3 year contract

2.Have a GSM phone that can be used with AWS network as well.

3.Get a $40 Unlimited Voice/Text/Unlimited Data (10 data cap lol) plan. Of course No LTE or 42mbps speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
sjravi, perhaps these NV backups would be of interest for comparison purposes. I got these in the course of trying to flash back the stock modem on my T889V, which it currently bootloops with.

My phone is currently stuck with the I317M modem, has 850, 1900 and AWS HSPA in addition to LTE. Barring any inaccuracies in the Ookla Speedtest app, it also has DC-HSPA. (The phone clocked at 26 Mbps on HSPA during one of my tests.)

There's a stock T-Mobile T889, stock Videotron T889V and my post-repair, I317M modem-running T889V backup in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Manni.k:
is there list? as in what lines to change?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Okay, From this point on... I am lost...

"So had to enable all the required parameters using NV browser in QXDM"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
NV manager is very old tool and not supported by note 2, so you cannot use it.

Use NV browser in QXDM (last version found online 3.12.724), which you can google to get it.

Once you have installed it. Run QXDM professional

Go to Options > Communications: Here you should see 2 ports for the phone one is modem port and the other diagnostic port.

Select diagnostic port. Check out the attached screenshots

After you have the NV browser open. Select the NV item that needs to be enabled and click "write" this will write the value "0". Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Man, don't make us suffer... post the tool and the whatever that needs to be enabled... lol

EDIT... got the tool... Attaching it here...

EDIT AGAIN... no, is not working on windows 7/8 ... is for xp... damn... any version for windows 7 or windows 8?

XP Version here:

http://tekhd.com/downloads/QXDM_3.12.714_winxp.rar

When installing it says requires Internet Explorer 6 or higher... lol...I have version 10

let me see if I can bypass that message... by extracting .msi file via command promp...

-> Update... Extracted the damn .msi... but the exe files don't run... So... I have to install XP now?

-> Update 2... got it running in compatibility XP mode... see picture... now what? lol

-> Select the NV item that needs to be enabled and click "write" this will write the value "0" ??????????????????????????????????????????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
I thought t889 was a quad band device. Are you sure that 850/1900 is disabled?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
I believe you are correct.

I think I got that one mixed up with another or read incorrect specs somewhere. I noticed that one even gets 900mhz umts. Would like the enable that band on the i317 if it was possible. Allot of Europe is opening up 900 mhz umts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ysr84:
So Basically if i just go to Qpst -------> Qpst software download ------- Backup my file.qcn (just to be safe) & flash the provided t-mobile files (restore it using the restore option) and it should work?

It sounds way too easy.... Please confirm... I owe Sjravi a beer and a coffee :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Yes it is that simple:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ysr84:
My Backup qcn file from QPST (software Download) is 45 kb... is that normal? Compared to the backup file attached in post one which is (ATT_I317_AWSMOD_dumimei) is 306KB.

Sorry for these stupid questions. I just do not want to brick my phone :(.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
It should be around 250Kb, your backup is not right. Which version of qpst are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ysr84:
I am using QPST 2.7 Build 247

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

I have updated to build 378 and i took a backup which is about 268 KB... does it sound about right?

Hi I tried this today on Orange dominicana and it didn´t work.

Orange dominicana is 900 mhz band for 3g but I am not able to pick it up on my phone.

I only get Edge or GPRS tops.

Can you guys tell me what to modify to get it to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SaHiLzZ:
Do you loose LTE coverage if this mod is applied?

Also, is there a way to revert back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
I applied the mod and I am on AT&T. Currently on LTE:14 with no issues. Speed seems the same as before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mylovingself:
For a hillbilly newb, is there any pay service over the internet that can do this for me, I can't really afford to brick a brand new phone. Thanks for any help with this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
This does not enable 900 Mhz, it is only for AWS (1700/2100) band
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
In terms of supported bands you can revert to stock combination by restoring stock qcn. Working of the device will be exactly as stock.

But the other NV parameters are still active and cannot be deactivated. So as of now you cannot go back to stock as far as NV items are concerned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] saqi4you:
is This method work with Bell Canada I317M to use windmobile or Tmobile ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Byangmang:
is it possible to create a qpst file that will enable all the bands possible with the note 2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Yes it will work, just Compare stock to the file in the post and see if there is any difference in NV items.

qcn file in the post should work as is without any problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
only freq left is 900 Mhz in WCDMA and this can also be enabled, that will make it a penta band phone at least for wcdma. I will post the 900 Mhz qcn soon

In lte there are more bands that can be enabled but gnats a lot of work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sharpeyedman:
Now I would like to try this on N7100 international Note2. If this does not work for n7100 then Can I restore it back to original state ? or somethings will change permanently as u mentioned NV parameters
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arrio:
As long as you make a backup before doing any changes, you will be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
900 mhz.

Yay! 900mhz would be icing on the cake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Silenus21:
That would be awesome.

Need to donate a qcn file. How to remove IMEI.

Need to remove IMEI from qcn file. Can this be done using the utility or a hex editor?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Silenus21:
The one posted in the first post already has the imei removed from the qcn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
I know it is. I am donating mine to another user that has a t889v to use on rogers. He is trying to activate LTE I believe. Don't know if restoring qcn backup would give him my IMEI. He could always change it back though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SaHiLzZ:
You need hex editor
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
Thanks, so I assume there is no crc or other error checking / tamper detection mechanism in place that would cause this to blow up on him.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, is there any other way to restore this qcn file as for example: copying and pasting, etc. The QTSP installed in my W7 laptop is not registering my Note 2 nor the COM 1 port. Thank you in advance for any help provided.

Im going to flash this on my Sprint Note 2 and do a sim card mod and post results. ETA 2 weeks. Flashing NOW.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
You have to go into *#7284#

Change mtp + adb ---> rndis+dm+modem

When you connect up after that, go into device manager and see what com port it assigned your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SaHiLzZ:
May also need drivers if your laptop cant see Note 2 at all.

I would like to know how to back up my current setting or values and then flash this file on my N7100.

GREAT THREAD!

I am able to pick up an AT&T Note 2 locally for a better price than T-Mobile.

From this thread I can see that getting the HSPA+ working is doable ... what I have not been able to find out yet VIA google (have tried).

Is whether I can get the AT&T Note 2 to work as a Tmobile version in all aspects especially wifi calling? Best would be flashing stock Tmobile Rom onto the At&T Note 2 (is is possible)/been done?

Any links would be appreciated :) I would love to save $150 or so getting AT&T version and tinkering is fun but this will be my primary line and I do not want to tinker with it too much ;)

Again GREAT work on this thread!!!

thanks OP and all contributors for the great info and hard work!

So that rom plus this thread means full tmobile hspa+ speeds and full tmobile features?

Also would the phone then allow ota updates from tmobile?

hi guys I am planning to buy Rogers galaxy note 2. I will be enabling the aws frequency. what I wanted to know it's stability calling and data speed. I had experience with at&t and Rogers note 1 . I still remember that we had to flash custom modem with note 1 to enable aws. my question is how is the stability of this method compare to the results of note1.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] supermi1:
Thanks for the info!

Do you think it will be possible to access tmobile LTE on the 1700mhz band when it is released?

I am happy to do a little work on the AT&T for the same results (can be fun). But I really do not want to "give up" LTE possibility or run any slower on the HSPA+ in the mean time ...

Since I can choose either tmobile or at&t modals ... just that at&t will be about $150 cheaper for me ... that cash is worth some flashing but not concessions of usability for me :)

I am a PC tinkerer (and good at it) but am new to tinkering with my phone so sorry for any noobish questions :)

Ask me to go into a bios and give you a maximum OC and trouble shoot BSOD'd I am your man ... this phone stuff ohhh I have to catch up LOL

Hi Sjravi.

Did you get a chance to work on the 900 band yet?

Really missing this.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bosebose:
I thought you do not lose LTE by unlocking AWS baseband. I thought you keep all your normal frequencies plus AWS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] supermi1:
I know you do not loose AT&T LTE but since I am new to this phone stuff I was not sure if TMOBILE soon to be release LTE will be a different story.

Hmmm if LTE will be the same on tmobe and at&t then is should work fine then HUH? I am just not sure.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
It might be caused by bad rf calibration since the qcn posted is from i317.

Even though both devices have similar hw, based on supported telecom features and network, rf calibration will be different. If you can send me stock qcn from i317m, I can optimise it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
Enabling AWS on Note 1 for Canadian carriers was a disaster experience for me. I was getting 400kb, max 800kb per second on Wind Mobile (according to speed test). Weak signal and most of the time "No Coverage" issue. None of the modems work well, so I eventually gave up.

However this mod for Note 2 is totally different and very very stable. I never got any No Connection issues or 500kb speed. Always getting 5mbps-8mbps. Enjoying it very much.

Newbie questions

I have an ATT i317 Note 2 on Tmobile using T-zone via Method 1.

I have the following Newbie questions that I have not found by searching (sorry if this is obvious to everyone else):

1) HSPA+42 - How do I know if I am connected at this speed, every where I go in San Diego California I see "4G". Is there away I can verify that I have activated the "42" correctly? Speed tests shows I am about 5-14MB (HSPA:15) down and 3MB up. What should I expect to see as my max on Tmobile?

2) Under preferred network type I have "LTE/GSM/WCDMA" selected. Is this the correct settings for Tmobile?

3) Can I root my device and use custom rom? How will that affect Method 1.

4) Occasionally (seldom) I get full bars or near full bars but no internet connectivity. Is this related in anyway to what I have done using Method 1? Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue? When I do have connectivity (98% of the time), it seems like my download speeds is very stable.

Thanks to everyone for making a contribution. This thread is the reason I jumped from iOS to Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
If you load a custom rom, make sure the radio is not included. If you overwrite the rsdio, it's my understanding you should be able to restore the tmobile qcn like you did originally. I loaded clean rom which is radioless so I had no issues.

1) *#197328640# umts>debug >basic info. If you see "DC HSPA+ 1" during data transfer, its 42 Mbps. Data rate looks good.

2) No harm

3) Yes without any issues

4) You got fooled here :) when it looses coverage, device goes into search and bars displayed are for the signal found(other networks), its for emergency call only. Pull down notification bar, if you see you service provider name and there is no data, then its an issue.
