[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
The new modem seems to sleep my lte connection so when I turn my screen on after it has been off for a while my apps seem to have trouble connecting. This only happins on lte. 4G seems to always work. That's the only reason I reflashed the 4.3 modem cause it works. As far as the bands. Dial lol its *#2263# select Wcdma select 1700 hit menu back and see if a star is next to it if it is its working. You can try this before the mod and the star won't stay next to 1700 band.

Hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnjsong:
tried *#2263#, it says its restricted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
If your on stock or any custom stock, it works but not on any cm rom

Not sure about the restricted message never happined to me. I also don't flash cm Roms. Not saying that's what your using but that's what I know

I'm running ds ne5v1 rom oh I am on t-mobile
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexigga:
Again...try using "shortcut master lite" app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
Agreed +1 on shortcut master. It helps me with band selection (2263 code) I can access USB settings directly, but shortcut master allows me to access other dialer codes that give a restriction or "permission denied" popup
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] M-LinkInt.:
Thanks for the instructions! It worked great for me (doubled network speeds as it should).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gyankamp1:
As as say Shortcut muster can use it unlocking aws bands and also UNLOCKING PHONE-SIM NETWORKS[...] even if phone have latest KIT KAT OFFICIAL firmware.?

G----> out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnjsong:
how did you downgrade your modem to 4.3, but you stayed on 4.4.2 official?

Also, guys. I have downloaded shortcut master lite, which code should I be running? When I try the *#2263#, it just tells me its restricted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xBkKx:
The quickest way to do this on KitKat I think is following the guide but dialing *#0808# to get to the hidden menu instead of whatever the original post said, at least for me it was. I already had the software ready from doing it on Jellybean so just had to open that menu choose the modem option and connect to computer. Sorry but I honestly am not able to fully understand most of what some previous users have said to do with using that shortcut app. That app appeared useless to me it showed me hidden shortcuts but I wasn't able to get access to enabling the band on KitKat without having to use the Qualcomm program with my computer still.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
From the shortcut master app, click on 2263 & launch it using method zero (with root). It will popup a su permission box and after you grant it, it will give you access to band selection. USB Settings can be accessed directly with *#0808# in the dialer. I can post screen shots of how I do it if you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnjsong:
best way to root 4.4.2 official?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gyankamp1:
Always qpst qxdm or similar interface needed.

any idea on how to do this on at&t galaxy s5 active

please does someone knows where i should go to find info on how to enable aws bands on my galaxy s5? i have the active version. is a really cool phone i woulndt want to switch for thew regular version tmobile offers and spend more money on it. ive been looking for a solution and tryed lots of thing for a week now. please some pointers will be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Search the modem thread I have links their and so does another person. And just flash it with twrp or cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] beastonprowl:
Thanks worked for me since I was on cm11, I installed saber 1.5, 4.4 and restored the file using this mod. Don't know if the tmobile band works still as I will be porting next month. Now will restore my nandroid backup to cm11. Hope it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin587:
Does this method work for all versions? I am using SGH-i317m on 4.4.2 ditto note 3. Any precautions/things I should check to prevent bricking?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] M-LinkInt.:
Forgive my ignorance, but once I have enabled the AWS bands on my phone, it is "permanent", as in I can flash any rom and AWS will still be enabled?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
Yes, it's permanent through rom flashes. The only time out would need to be reapplied is after a modem flash

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

You will be fine, I updated my modem (I'm also on DN3 v5) and reapplied this mod using the op's file while on that rom. The only difference is that instead of dialing *#7284# to get to USB settings (Qualcomm), you will dial *#0808#. Other than that, everything should go as outlined in the op. Good luck and enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shortbus-Driver:
Is this even necessary anymore?

I'm on this sgh -I317 on t-mobile sim using buttnaked and it seems just as fast on dl's as my t-mobile S4

I want to see my unlocked Rogers LTE Note2, I got inquiries for Mobilicity users if it can works there. I assume its AWS, is this still the easiest method? or some advanced method now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
My phone consistently gets 4G after doing this mod. Before it was usually on Edge & occasionally 4G. Now I'm always on 4G unless I travel outside of the 4G coverage area. Now some roms won't show 4G lte icons, they show H+ instead so that may be a factor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatuk:
Did everything as described in post#1, restored (twice) attached qcn to device, still "WIND AWAY"... Oh, man...

What else should be taken into consideration?...

BTW, before restoring qpst complained that the file is for different device, something like that. However restored without errors.

..However Wind still "away" :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike_art03a:
I don't know how you guys are pulling it off, but the damn thing doesn't want to show up in QPST for me. It shows the com port, but doesn't list the phone. It's i317m as well... I'm trying to wrap my head around this as I've tried 2 different machines with the same issue (one with windows 8.1, the other 7).

What the heck am I doing wrong here? My nexus 5 is useless with its broken screen and this is my only other device... was originally a T889V but had it repaired when I bricked it and the shop swapped the boards. It's already unlocked.

Drivers - Installed

QPST - 2.7.399

Other phone software? Nope.

:confused:

See attached screenshot if it helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
I kept getting that no phone error too, but if you do a search of this thread for 9090 (or 0909, I can't remember) or search for no phone, there is another dialer code you can use to change a setting and then it will be visible. I was about to give up entirely until I found that post. Let me see if I can find it real quick.

Mates, I am stuck.

I have I317M (Koodo).

I have done everything...

I restored qcn file by QPST from 1st post.

I restored txt file by NV reader-writer from Manni.k.

I wrote '115868544' to line 01877 by QXDM (as far as that long list).

NOTHING WORKS!

I still have WIND AWAY.

(Wind is 100% available by the same SIM card in other phone.)

What should I consider more?..

I checked line 01877 after all, it's changed.

What else should I do????

Please advice!

Does anyone know if this will enable LTE for Rogers on a T-mobile T889?

Rogers LTE: 700 (band 17), 850 AWS 1,900 (band 2)

Thank you!!

Edit: I installed the OPs nv items and am able to connect to 4G but with very poor signal strength. Does anyone know if I can enable the Rogers LTE bands by editing the nv items? Might be a really stupid question!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
The T-Mobile Note 2 already supports Rogers LTE because it's the same frequency that T-Mobile uses. AWS LTE (Band 4 - 1700/2100 MHz). It just doesn't support Rogers Max (2600 MHz) I believe. If LTE isn't an option for you, you just have to update the modem and ROM to a more recent version. The phone shipped with LTE hidden/disabled, but T-Mobile enabled it with an update last year. It was actually their first LTE device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Samsung Galaxy Note® II (T-Mobile), Titanium Gray

SGH-T889
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpyderSL:
Thanks for your reply. This is my dilemma. I hard bricked my device and needed to get the motherboard replaced. I had a Wind t889v, but I think the new motherboard has now made my phone a t-mo t889. My baseband is t889uvucmk7, and in download mode it lists the phone as a T889.

Since I got it back, I switched my provider from Wind to Rogers and now can only get edge speeds. I've been at this for weeks, I have no clue what the issue is. I figured I'd try flashing the NV items here but it didn't do anything. On another ROM I can get 4g (2mbps) if I choose "wcdma only". With "LTE only" I get edge. My Sim gets LTE in other phones.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm all out of ideas! Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
That's really odd...Like I said, aside from the lack of "V" at the end of the model number, the T889 is in every way like the T889V in terms of supported frequencies. So it's either a ROM issue, a modem issue (I doubt, because it should at the very least get 3G/4G), or a carrier-side/SIM card issue.

how do you know if aws 1700mhz is working after flashing tbe metro qcn?

I flashed my i527 with metro the qcn then restored the efs which i verified with I zeroed out after flashing the qcn file. Everything works fine but i csnt say i really notice any difference. Is there a way to verify that aws is now enabled?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Some help with the basic instructions please:

1. Can someone please post a URL to a recommended how-to on installting QPST, version 2.7 build 374 or higher on a Rogers or Bell Note 2? I've searched online, but I must not be looking at the correct search results as I can't find anything that explains this well - https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourcei...e=UTF-8#q=how to install qpst 2.7&safe=active

Is this option only available after installing QPST? I tried it without installing QPST and my phone just gives an error and does nothing.

TIA!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
QPST is a Windows program, not an Android app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks. Any suggestions on the second step? My phone gives an error - something about not being able to connect or something like that. Does this mean I'm toast?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Try *#9090# instead
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Same thing - the error that comes up is - "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

Any other suggestions to move forward with this? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
If you're rooted, use the app "shortcut master" and go through the list of codes. When it asks you how to launch, launch mode 0 (with root permissions) that should launch the menus you need to access for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks.

I just installed and launched it, but have no idea what to do next.

According to the instructions for modding this device to work on Wind, the following are the required steps (I'm not sure how to go to the hidden menu on the phone using "Shortcut master"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
Ok I have some screen shots on how to use shortcut master.

1)

2)

3)

4)

I use the following codes most often:

*#2263#

*#7284#

*#0808#

*#9090#

Shortcut master helps you launch the codes on your phone because 4.4+ roms removed access to many of the hidden menus, but you can still access them by launching them with root permissions via the shortcut master app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks. I just followed the above and I get to the last screen shot (Service Mode screen), however on my phone it does not show any of the options as shown in your last screenshot above..................
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
That's unusual, it should. If they're not available, you can also try the code 9090 as someone mentioned above. Search this thread for 9090 for further instructions. I had to do that once to enable the Qualcomm options in the 7284 menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks. Tried that too and that doesn't do anything either...... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
It comes up in the app. You have to give it a few seconds to load all of the codes. Make sure you select "System Apps" and then wait a few seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
Are you a AOSP or TouchWiz rom, looking at your sig it says you're on a AOSP rom, so those menu's are gone, until ya go back to a TouchWiz rom. Then after you've done this mod you can go back to a AOSP rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Ok, this must be the reason - I need to go back to a TW ROM.

Which version should I go back to? 4.1.1 or 4.1.2? I forget which version my phone came with to begin with.

Most of the sites that come up with the original firmware files, you either have to pay for faster downloads or you have to register. Is there any site where I can just download the original firmware without having to register or pay for faster downloads?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
It doesn't have to be fully stock firmware it can be custom stock touchwiz so ya could download Scotts cleanrom or something like that flesh the zip apply the mod then go back to your aosp rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks. I'll try that tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Just don't flash any modem after you do the mod. So flash the modem/radio you want before the mod or you will have to start over again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
You mean, go back to a TW rom, flash the modem to work on Wind and the flash the ROM again to go to my ROM of choice?

Flash tw

flash modem

do mod

flash rom of choice

if you flash a modem it removes the mod

Flash tw

Lol

Enable AWS band

i call it a mod as your modified the nvitems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
If ya did it that way you'd be wiping out the (mod) aws hack after flashing the modem. LoL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Lol after you do the mod if you flash a modem it will erase the aws modification. some roms have modems included

lol my mistake I ment

Flash tw

flash modem of choice

do mod

flash rom of choice

you confused me by rearranging my list it was correct the first time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Is this a good TW rom ? http://electron-team.com/ROM_NOTE2LTE/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
One of the best there is... I was using it before my Note 2 died.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Sorry one last question. I'm confused about the above and the instructions on the first page of this thread.

1. The "do mod" above is referring to which step below?

2. As far as the "flash modem" is concerned my understanding is that its all the steps below. Please confirm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
I dont think you should be doing anything until you read the whole thread. Obviously your not understanding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Yes I did read the thread - first 10 pages and I've downgraded my phone to 4.1.1. stock TW from Rogers, rooted my device and then finished the first 5 instructions as noted below, but then hit a wall as QPST won't install. Its missing Microsoft C++ runtime libraries. I downloaded the drivers and installed those, however I still can't get QPST to run.

2. Go to hidden menu on phone, dial *#7284#

3. Once in Menu choose the option for USBSettingsMenu, then choose the option RNDIS+DM+MODEM.

4. Hook up the phone to the PC via USB at this time if you haven't already. This option works on STOCK TOUCHWIZ.

5. Go to your PC Control Panel. We need to get into the Device Manager to determine where your phone is being recognized as far as the COM ports. For this, go to System -> Device Manager (on the left) or System -> Hardware -> Device Manager (depends on your Control Panel setup). Anyways, scroll down to Ports (may say Ports & LTP, Serial, depends on version). Anyways, find your phone under it, and take note of the COM# (mine was COM9, yours can and probably will vary). If you have exclamation marks anywhere then install the Samsung drivers and try again.

This may help nerrow down the issue

What version of windows are you running. Xp is not getting updated any longer.

This may help if you have some kind of old version

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019667

Also when your looking for your port are their 2 ports for you samsung?

my windows Vista laptop always showe'd 2. When one port didnt work I would try the other. You may also just need to reboot your computer.

oh yeh and some cables only charge use the stock USB cable that came with the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks I figured it out by downloading an older version of QPST. I was then able to follow the instructions and have flashed my modem.

I'll be heading to a WindMobile store shortly to switch plans.

Question I still have though is what is the "mod" referenced before?

All I want to do now is to flash the DN3 TW ROM now, but am wondering if this is now safe to do or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
When I say mod I am referring to the op. Or flashing the nvitems to get aws which is the only download in the op

I call it a mod as you are modifying your nvitems

it's not a hack cause its just replacing a previous file with modified file

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

As for your other question

flash any rom that doesn't contain a modem

if you flash a modem now it will revert your aws nvitems you just worked so hard to enable back to stock and aws won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Thanks man! Will head to the WindMobile store shortly and then will upgrade the ROM later (being careful not to flash the modem).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
If you do flash a modem you just need to flash the file in the op again only on tw roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Just got back from the WindMobile store and my phone works flawlessly! Now to update the ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
The ROMs are independent of the modem, so you can do that. Personally I'd just do a recovery backup of whatever TouchWiz ROM you're on right now in case you need to flash a modem. That way you can go back and forth easily.
