My sig is a random post from some boob that tickled me.

I have the t0lteatt/i317.

I did the AWS mod and was able to access that band, but the mod broke my 2g connection. 3 weekends ago I went to the beach in an area that should have had 2g service. I had zero service. I didn't know what to make of it, and I didn't have my computer with me to reverse the mod and test if it was indeed the mod that broke it. This past weekend I went to my hometown where I know I have 2g service, again I had zero service. I had my computer with me, so restored my backup qcn file and I immediately started getting 2g service again.

What do we do when one wants to install a new rom? Do we need to simply leave the radio alone? Is it that simple? What are some recommendations for roms that wont upgrade the radio? If we upgrade a rom that DOES change the radio, can we easily change the radio back to stock? How would one go about doing so?

I did the LTE mod just now and I'm currently experimenting with it. I did a speedtest.net test and got about 4Mb down, or about half of what my (T Mob) SGS3 gets. Its better then edge though, and I only just got done doing the mod, I have yet to try and tweak it. I think I can get the speed up better over time.

One last question, under the

access point

settings, what do we use for "Bearer": LTE, eHRPD or Unspecified? The stock choice is: Unspecified.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Yes, you can flash anything that doesn't change (or even reflashes) the modem. Just redo the mod if you do. It's that simple. Also it's been found that epc.t-mobile.com gives you better HSPA+ speeds than fast.tmobile.com. Like double. If you get LTE though, you might lose it by switching back. I don't but most do.

Please help

Hello all:

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I have tried to read this thread 2 or 3 times before posting this as well as researching online but cant seem to get anywhere.

I tried using this method on my I317 to enable the bands. Followed it to the dot with all the things working. The method seemed to complete in the QPST version 2.7 build 374 but at the very end (after the phone reboot) it would force close QPST in windows. The phone came up after the reboot I had network issues so I restored my backup through QPST which worked fine.

Another thing I noticed was that in the Phone list on the QPST configuration it said (0) ? instead of just (0).

Is there I need to do to make sure that it works?

Please help as my data speeds on t-mobile are not as good as they should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] us1415:
Tried again. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and then deinstalled QPST 2.7 build 374 and installed QPST 2.7 build 323. Didnt see the question mark by the phone in the main port screen it only said (0). The whole process went through but the only network I could see was the Edge 2. Restored the original file from the phone and I m now between 3G and 4G but am not getting LTE.

Please help!! Is there anything else I can try??

Can after applying this mod on stock android, would this still work if you were to flash a different rom on it like cyanogenmod for example?

Can you reply in a quote please?

Unsuccessful AWS attempt: Need help with restore

I changed the values of AWS when I tried to get my Telus i317m to work on WInd. This destroyed my SIM card. I have restored to a Samsung stock version, have reset to factory defaults, cleared the cache and the phone is semi operational. It now crashed when I try to read messages, load netflix, flipboard, etc. I see in your notes to change teh value back to using QXDM or a text file. What is QXDM? If I make changes to the text file - which one is it? Also do you know how to reset the counter? Unfortunately I made all of these changes 2 months ago and I have no memory as to what I did.

"Restoring qcn will not change your imei, so be worry free and restore :) Thanks to TEKHD for sharing the T889 qcn backup."

"If you face issues with data rate and stability, restore your device original qcn on top and change the value of 01877 to 115868544 in NV browser of QXDM or use 80 03 E8 06 in the text file and write it to device. DC HSPA or 42 Mbps will be disabled after this

Hi-

Did you have problems with the restore? I made changes to support AWS but now need to undo them. Any help is much appreciated.

You should have made a backup of your original can file. It clearly says to do so in the directions. Restore your backup.

I have just went back read the entire thread again just to make sure that I didnt miss anything.

To the folks that were haivng issues on their I317 for LTE. Did anyone find a solution to it?

I have done all the things to my phone that I came across this thread but nothing sticks. I only get edge when I complete this mod (method's 1 and 2) and I saw that at least 3 people had the same issues.

Is there anything else that I can do to have this resolved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Lte works out of the box and the aws mod only enables 1700 band my i317 is getting 2g 3g 4g and lte on all bands. My problem was my imei wouldnt register correctly on tmobile and i wasnt getting lte so I made say 0 doing that forced the system to read my imsi which worked for me. I have installed a complete backup whith efs from a t889 and I got all bands so this mod is having nothing to do with you guys only getting edge

I figured it out see http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2-...2-sgh-i317-t2877487/post55453837#post55453837
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] us1415:
Then I dont know what it is. It might be that this phone is new and AT&T is now locking this band for us? Not sure anymore. I have tried every single thing I could to make this work.....Dont know what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlwaysNoob:
Does this break AT&T data?

I switched from AT&T to T-mobile last month and did this mod on my AT&T branded Note 2. It worked perfectly.

However, t-mobile coverage in my home area sucks. So now I am back with AT&T prepaid. I purchased $60 AT&T gophone plan with 2Gb LTE data. The data is not connecting at all. I have been talking to AT&T reps for 2 days now, changed APN and everything but nothing seems to work. I highly suspect that it is because of this mod. Voice/Text works fine. Data/MMS is not connecting.

I read in the thread that this mod should not break the AT&T bands/frequencies. After the successful mod, it should work on t-mobile/AT&T both. But that does not seem to be the case.

Has anyone successfully used their phone on AT&T after this mod? Does data work on phone just like the brand new Note 2 after the mod?

UPDATE(08/16/13): My analysis was wrong. AT&T put some kind of block in my account that prevented me from accessing data. Even AT&T rep couldnt figure out the problem. I changed the SIM but it didnt solve the issue. The solution was very odd. I put my activated SIM in a different phone which got connected to internet fine (and which somehow unflagged my account from AT&T by using a different phone) I put the SIM in my phone now and it worked fine. I know, its odd and unexplainable how it solved the issue, but trust me I have tried everything and nothing worked. However, this accidentally solved the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
It should work fine. If not, there are two things you can do:

1) Just flash another modem or reflash the one you're one. That will disable the mod.

-or-

2) Restore the backup QCN file you [hopefully] made, if you want a more low-level solution
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlwaysNoob:
Thanks. I resolved the issue. For any one in future looking for solution, just read my original post, I updated the solution there.

Another follow up questions:

[1] I cant change the radio to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, it always switches itself back to "WCDMA preferred" band. Anyway to force it to stay on LTE/GSM/WCDMA?

[2] The status bar icon always displays 4G. I goto device info by *#*#4636#*#* and see that I am connected to UMTS. As per my understanding, it should display 3G for UMTS, but its always displaying 4G. Its never displaying E (for EDGE) or any other symbol.

[3] I am not connecting to AT&T LTE now. Not sure if its because of the mod, maybe AT&T is very selective with LTE when it comes to GoPhone. (Even though they now advertize that gophone now supports LTE)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
For the first thing, AT&T and other carriers are bullsh!tters; they rebranded their 3G as "4G". The AT&T Note 2's stock ROM will show the 4G image/logo even when you're on 3G. It'll show G for GPRS (rare), E for Edge, 4G for 3G (HSPA+), and 4G LTE for LTE.

For the second, I've had that issue but can't remember how I got it fixed. If you dial *#197328640#, click UMTS, Debug Screen, Phone Control, Network Control, Band Selection (not sure if this is available on the AT&T version), click Automatic. Also try reflashing the modem if that doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iceman21pwk:
Ok, I've done the instructions provided by Arrio, but how do I confirm the changes made?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rrroach:
By testing. Download the SpeedTest.net app and check what kind of results you get on T-Mobile's network.

So I have a t889 tmobile note ii

At&t sim

How do I enable lte on my device with at&t?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
It's on their end. You have to give them the IMEI of an AT&T LTE device (any, doesn't have to be yours. You can just get the IMEI from a store display model) if you've never had an AT&T LTE device on your account. After that just make sure the APN is set up correctly on your device and it should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zacholley:
so I live in oklahoma city and the only thing I can get is the regular 4g (hspa) services where tmobiles iphone and note 2 get lte here any idea why it is not working or is it just the market i am in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
It should work. Go into the dialer (the stock one), dial *#197328640# . Press UMTS -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection -> LTE Band Preference -> LTE B4. Then hit Menu button -> BACK. Then press [1] Automatic. Does that work?

could it be for the fact that I went to walmart and bought the 30$ 100 mins free text and 5 gigs of data prepaid plan just to try out the service before making the switch from verizon...

maybe prepaid doesnt allow lte Im not sure? hope it does
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
It does. I've been on the plan since May. I pull 25 Mbps on LTE on my T-Mobile Note 2. Try giving them a call; if you dial 611 it doesn't use any minutes.

Also your phone goes down to UMTS is because of what's called Fast Dormancy. It saves battery and improves data speeds. It only goes down to UMTS when idle, as you said.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zacholley:
I called 611 they said they would reset my data connection and to reboot the phone but I rebooted it and its the same thing dude probably just wanted to get me off of the phone oh well.

if I had not flashed the correct file in this post wouldnt I only have edge though so I would think it had to have completed successfully ??

i Guys,

Here is my dilemma, i have N7105 bought in HK with following details;

Model Number: GT-N7105

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband Version: N7105XXDLL5

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-795352

se.infra@SEP-70 #1

SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 30 15:34:45 KST 2013

Build Number: JZO54K.N7105ZHDMD2

The said specific model works on the ff: frequency (if i am not mistaken)

FDD-LTE (800/900/1800/2600MHz) + WCDMA (850/900/2100MHz) + GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz)

Will flashing of Modem change the LTE Frequency? My preferred provider works on 1800MHz / 2100MHz LTE Frequency

or are there any work around?

Thanks in advance guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
No. Don't try flashing another provider's modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Or if you do, make proper backups, NV items and all. And consider you may well brick your device.

You could also try doing a backup from a working N7105 with the bands you want and remove its IMEI like people have done here for the AWS mod.

Besides, this thread isn't quite the place for this discussion as it revolves around N7105 modems. I'd take this to the N7105 modems thread, if only because people there are going to be in a better position to report what bands work on theirs and provide with NV items files.

Good luck,

Darkshado

Will this AWS mod for unlock 1700 work with the new MC3 baseband or do I have to only use it with the stock baseband (modem)? I haven't found an answer on this question. Appreciate your help!

PS: I have it working now on a rooted custom rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
It doesn't need root or anything. The only thing is if the person you sell to takes an official update (which usually includes a modem), the mod has to be redone. So make sure you sell to someone who knows how to do the mod. It's easy anyways.

AT&T Note 3 Bands

Please correct me if I am wrong... but according to this specs (see picture) from the AT&T's Note 3 Webpage... The Note 3 should perfectly work with TMobile HSPAP & LTE right out of the box... right? no need to perform any mods...? Right?

4G-LTE

Band 4 and 17

4G HSPA+

HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul

3G - UMTS

850/1900/2100MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE

850/900/1800/1900MHz

missing bands 2 & 5 from LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
No. Just LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
okay... LTE only... so I guess it should swap between EDGE & LTE while on T-Mobile... always missing HSPA...

now... how about this:

T-Mobile Note 3 Specs:

UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS/HSPA+: AWS Band IV / 2100 / 1900 / 850;Band II (1900);Quad Band GSM;LTE

when on AT&T...same scenario? but vice versa? or it will get HSPA+ but no LTE (I think)

Thank you...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Actually if you're in a refarmed area, you'd get HSPA+ on T-Mobile with a non-T-Mobile device. Most if not all LTE areas are refarmed (1900 MHz).

Now onto your second question. T-Mobile devices are fully compatible with AT&T AND T-Mobile service. As in EDGE, HSPA+, and LTE. Plus they come with an unlocked bootloader unlike the AT&T and Verizon variants. It's definitely better to get the T-Mobile version even if you plan on using it on AT&T. You don't lose anything at all. You only gain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Thank you for your answers... If the T-Mobile Note 3 has wireless charging this time... I will buy it... If they do the same thing again with the wireless charging, I guess I will have to buy the AT&T version again and hope this mod works on the new one with the TMO Note 3 QCN of course... (assuming it does come with wireless charging capability again as the Note 2)

Confirmed Works with Rogers i317m.

My earlier attempts were disappointing as they did not work. However, I sensed a little ambiguity in the instructions. There was no mention of if a sim-card should be inserted throughout the process or not. So my first attempt did have a sim card and it didn't seem to work. Tried it again without a sim-card and up untill 10 mins it has been working with Wind Mobile (im in windsor) ever since. If you guys are strugling try this, it may or may not work. I'm not responsible for any damages to your phone.

But what was the default setting in *#7284# other than "RNDIS + DM + MODEM" Cause ever since selecting that and after applying the hack my phone doesn't show up as a removable drive anymore, so I was hoping I could go back and change it back to the default setting and get that back again.

I'm giving it a trial under a low coverage area to see how my signal is there now with it when I go back again, I'm usually getting GPRS or EDGE though, hopefully I get better AWS service in that area since I highly doubt there's any refarmed towers there yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
A stock .tar file usually contains a modem. This mod doesn't contain root and is completely undetectable. The only way to tell if it's been applied would be to either notice that AWS HSPA+ is working (which no one in an AT&T store would know how to do or even catch if they did), or to use QPST to look at the NV data (which again, no one beyond a skilled technician would know how to do).

So basically after ODIN-ing your phone, just redo the mod :)
