Well good news. I went to a different RKM abs the settings now stick. I'll get the backup tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lucas2805:
wonder

I just successful with my bell note 2 but I wonder can I do with Note 2 international (N7100) or galaxy s3? :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htc fan89:
don't think so for the north american version samsung is using qualcomm radio chip or something and don't think the international version have that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Silenus21:
Sounds great.

Please keep us posted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinnyj85:
I would also like to know I'm trying to get better tmobile service
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Sjravi..... You have a pm. i think you'll like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexwinsberg:
I'm a confused noob...would someone be able to tell me if the Canadian Note 2 T889V will be able to hook up to the TMO LTE? From what I am reading the AT&T version will be able to. If I'm wrong please correct me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
This modem gave me a lot of trouble today.

I've flashed Skynote Build 8 (it has MA4 modem in it) and after flash device kept rebooting itself every 1 minute, plus It wouldnt recognize my SIM. So I booted back to recovery, wiped factory reset, cache and dalvic and even system. Still had the issue of rebooting. Sad part was that it wouldn't allow me to flash qcn file.

So I flashed LJ2 modem (Rogers) and problem solved. Interestingly after flashing LJ2 modem I didnt have to restore QCN backup via qpst. Everything worked out of the box.

So my experience with MA4 modem was not great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
So, we should avoid MA4 modem until we investigate a bit further... Or maybe just a modem only installation, just to verify/confirm it was really a modem related issue and not a rom issue... Thank you a lot for your information, really!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruinkhan:
I was skeptical whether it was a Modem issue, but then I flashed Jedi Rom (that I had in my SD card already) and previous SkyNote build (V7). Had the same reboot issue everytime. Battery pull, data wipe, cache and system wipe didnt help. Simple LJ2 modem install solved the problem.

I havent tried flashing MA4 modem separately, but I think it would be the same.

P.S. I unlocked AWS using old method (via QXDM),

probably

this is why I kept all AWS settings after modem flash.

Noob Question

I've got an AT&T Note 2 that I unlocked about a week ago using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037017

After doing those steps, my i317 was able to boot and recognize the T-Mobile network with a prepaid SIM card.

After watching the previously mentioned YouTube video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7gMO_kRxyM

I have a question before doing anything stupid. Noob here. I noticed in the video that in Setting->About Device->Status->Mobile Network Type the Note 2 shows HSPAP:15 and the uploader says that's HSPA+ working successfully. After inserting a prepaid T-Mobile SIM card, my unlocked Note 2 is showing HSPAP:15, UMTS:3, and EDGE:2 at different times.

Is my Note 2 successfully connecting to T-Mobile HSPA+ network service already? Prior to even attempting the method in this thread. Or is something weird going on with my Note 2 and I'm not really on the HSPA+ network?

I'm planning to re-activate service on this year old T-Mobile SIM card sometime next week after my StraightTalk month gets closer to expiring. Just checking if anyone else has a similar situation before I try the method in the thread and cause unnecessary issues by accident.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
You are on a 1900 HSPA+ Tmobile zone... That's all... This mod is for the 1700 band... Your phone is able to get the 1900 band in stock... Is just that the 1900 TMo band is uncommon at this point in time... You are just lucky to be in a 1900 band area...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] IVIauricius:
Thanks for clearing that up. I'm in Dallas, TX. The Note 2 seems to be more on the UMTS:3 than the HSPAP:15. Would unlocking the 1700 band give me more consistent HSPA+ service?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Dallas has many sites on 1900 mhz, but 1700 will give you consistant 3g/4g coverage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] joogle:
So I've got the AT&T Note 2 unlocked through a code from them.

The AWS band works great with my T-mobile plan.

Except my software is at 4.1.1, I can't update without a sim or with the T-mobile one.

Anyone know of a trick or way to do the software update?

Thanks

Are you on stock without any mod?

Is it possible to figure out a way to make a Tmo note 2 work on att LTE by using similar steps? I have a tmo note 2 on att service but i cant stand the 1-2 mbps compared to my S3 LTE(which i no longer have)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CL3P20:
just unlocked and rooted here...

switching SIMs gives me ~6-8MBs down and ~2-4MBs up on ATT ... putting back Tmo SIM = 14-18MBs down and 6-8MBs up

* using class15 SIM for ATT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Okay so I finally read all the posts. .. tekhd were you able to get the tmobile version to run on att lte? If so would it be possible to share that file? I'm dying to get Lte back....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] y2whisper:
too bad we couldnt get DC HSPA & LTE working at the same time. ie for us up north with bell and telus. but glad to see its capable for you guys was a lot easier to switch back and forth with the s2 skyrocket * S2 X
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
qpst wont find device

I have 2.7 build 378 and i have followed the OP and when I try to restore the file to my att note 2 the program says phone not found nor does the port show that a phone is on it. I have tried plugging in my sprint note 2 just to see what happens and qpst does in deed see and find that device but not with my att note 2? it just keeps saying no phone connected. ports are correct and everything installed fine. any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Its probably not picking up your note. .. Did you try turning on usb?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
turning on usb?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Debugging...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
yeah debugging is all on , as i said it finds one of my note2 but not the other one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Did you try a different usb port?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
yeps all 6 lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Try this... Right click the usb icon in the task bar and find your phone in the devices. Then trouble shoot it and see if it works. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
tried that , no go , but i know the usb is working cause i can swap the 2 notes i have back and forth in the same usb port and one will read while the other wont. only thing i can do with it is transfer files from cpu and device but when put in to the rndis modem dm mode qpst wont see it but will see my other note perfectly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djkid:
im having similar issue. i have done this mod successfully on one rogers note 2. but the other seems to be giving alot of trouble. i am able to flash the qcn file with no problem. but i start to loose signal very fast and not able to connect to any network. i tried my bell sim and it would go from 4 to 1 bars as i make a call and calls never connect. my wind sim wont even see wind home. but just wind away. i have flashed the phone back to factory setting by flashing the oem software file. if i restore it back to original my bell works but obviously wind doesn't. has there been any solution to that so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Did you try going into *#7284# usb settings and find out if your in mtp+abd and try again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djkid:
I can load the file and everything. just my phone wont get the signal would not find the wind home zone and my bell would barely connect to the network. but if i load the original back up file bell is fine and wind doesnt work. so im not sure what is going on. and not sure what mtp_adb would do with the signal issue. phone is stock rom and not rooted either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Sorry dj... I meant that for dilandu...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
im in the rndis + modem + dm settings as stated in the OP , should i be in mtp + adb?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
Just try to see if it will connect to your phone... your saying it connects to one and not the other right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dilandu:
yea it connects qpst shows ( serial number ) connected other one just says ( no phone ) i put it on mtp mode and now the usb port number in my case 17 is no longer showing , phone just shows up as a mass storage device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Try rebooting your pc and connect the phone in any dm mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djkid:
Make sure at *#7284# both the options says pda and pda and for Qualcomm should be rndns + thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
Try this, put the qcn file on a pen drive and restore it from the pen drive... Not from the hard drive... For some reason it works for me from the pen drive only...

Quick guess: file permissions. Thumb drive using FAT32, hard disk using NTFS...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] domineus:
Just did this on a friend's note 2

and it works as advertised

11 mbps down and maybe 3 mbps up

Now this phone should tide him over til the one comes out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djkid:
I tried that same thing plus data won't connect. Apn is there. And same signal issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SAV1337:
I had the same issues a few pages back with my Note 2 on Rogers. I gave up...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djkid:
Maybe it's just a phone issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] van131:
I just want to confirm this. I can change my rom without screwing everything up, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousLSD:
From what I have read is that it's the modem..... flash any rom you'd like but don't flash modem and your good to go

AWESOME!!!

I just tried this QCN file on my AT&T Galaxy Note II SGH-i317 using Simple Mobile on T-Mobile Towers (which was stuck on 2G/EDGE) and now I can get 4G right up!

I'm so excited!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for your help sjravi! You rock!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alphahere:
I had the same problem. If you having trouble connecting to PC after trying everything else make sure the following settings are correct. Be carefull changing these settings.

*#197328640# Service Mode

Main Menu -> [1] UMTS

UMTS MAIN MENU -> [6] COMMON

COMMON -> [4] DIAG CONFIG

DIAG CONFIG -> [2] DM/DUN over HSIC

My phone would not show up in qpst until DM/DUN over HSIC was set. How did I find this? I looked at another note 2 settings for diag config and found that mine was different. Don't know why mine was different.

Hope this helps someone. It was driving me crazy. Once I solved the qpst connection problem I restored the qcn in post #1.

The 3G bands for T-Mobile worked great on a i317m Bell phone. hpsa speeds were as fast as nexus 4 on hpsa 42+. Everything worked well. Also no problem with AT&T LTE speeds. It is strange but where I live T-Mobile so called 4G is faster than AT&T LTE. Yes I did check to make sure I had an AT&T LTE network. Whatever.

Thanks to all that contributed to this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mick2021:
Never care for prepaid plans until now.

Prepaid $30 4g from tmobile

DL: 12.9mbps UL:875kbps

2 year at&t contract $75 monthly

DL: 3.6mbps UL:1mbps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TEKHD:
90% of the time, when in AT&T LTE, I get much, much lower speed than in the same AT&T with H+... But that 10% makes much, much higher speeds than H+... (more than 25mb) Also about 70% of the time TMobile has much more speed than AT&T... Now... As a traveller, I would say AT&T has about 20% more coverage than TMobile... But... It is more often that I am in a zone were there is 0 AT&T signal and a bar or 2 on TMobile... So in other words, most of the time... in "cities" AT&T has better coverage with slower speed than TMobile, but in remote areas TMobile is better in all the sense. So, for a user like me... both carriers are essential... One without the other is useless. I have a Dual Sim card adapter on my Note 2, and I swap daily between each sim card via an app (no need to reboot on each swap) ... So I would say I am 98% accurate on the statement above... lol

Also, I have a Note 10.1 International 3G Version that gets H+ on AT&T and Edge on T-Mobile... (and I have it with an AT&T Sim Card) It gets the signals exactly as the Stock Note 2 (without the LTE, but H+ on AT&T and Edge on TMobile), and so many times I would like to have my tablet exactly as the Modded Note 2... getting "4G" on both carriers... Since the hardware is exactly the same... I have been tempted many times to restore my Note's 2 QCN file on my N8000...and see what happens... lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Silenus21:

Was getting only edge where I sit at work, and after applying this, I now get a solid HSDPA+ connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spinedoc:
Hmm, I followed this guide and everything seemed to go successfully. At home I only get Edge out of my ATT Note 2 with a Tmobile SIM in it.

After doing this hack I still am getting Edge. Are there still areas that would give Edge signal even with this hack, or should I expect to get some 3g or 4g everywhere?

So after I do this hack to an AT&T Note 2, does that mean that all LTE and HSPA+ will then work for all T-Mobile and AT&T frequencies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dvdmkr:
That's what I understood, and am hoping to ride on TMO's LTE soon...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poke_N_PDA:
Me too. I'm on T-Mobile, but I just bought an AT&T note 2 on ebay due to the T889's wireless charging issue. From what I can tell, I shouldn't have any difference in capability. I'm still not sure about HD voice.

I've installed the drivers but nothing wants to show up under com ports, whats going on?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] peoples_flip:
I was wondering... I have a Rogers i317 and I am currently running CM.10.1 on my device. After restoring it back to a stock ROM, will this AWS hack still work after flashing another custom ROM afterwards?

I guess what I'm asking is this a permanent "hack" for the AWS band or does it have to be re-enabled after every ROM installation/restoration?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dvdmkr:
This hack is NOT rom specific. As long as you don't load the non-at&t modem, you should be fine. I've been on CM10.1 and N7105 International ROM. It still works.

Great works everyone ! and special thanks to OP sjravi for this AWS ! :good:

I just completed Method #1 successful on my Att Note2- i317, but do not have T-mobile Sim to test, I currently have only voice on H20wireless. I am going to order simCard right now, and would like to ask for your advice :

1. Between T-mobile prepaid, straight talk, simple mobile, which one is the best ?

2. what is a minimum data service plan should I need ?

3. with this AWS enable, meaning I can have unlimited data access on my t-mobile 30MB web prepaid data ?

very appreciated for your input !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
SimpleMOBILE, Straight Talk and even Wal-Mart's Family Mobile only offer 3G data, SimpleMOBILE has been busted on YouTube for Spoofing the customers into thinking they're getting 4G.

I'd say T-Mobile cause what they offer is REALLY what ya get! Plus it's not a MVNO so there's no hidden limitations and ya can get real speeds that they offer even in PrePaid accounts, unlike other MVNO's you're only allowed the speed that the umbrella company allows that MVNO to have.

This AWS doesn't unlock service plans, it just enables more frequency ranges.

I'd go with either the $3 a day 4G plan, 200mb of data allowance for each day, or the $60 a month unlimited plan with 2gb's of 4G data allowance for the whole month, OR............. The $70 a month Truly Unlimited plan, 4G data and no throttling ya data at all, the first 2 after ya exceed your data allowance you're throttled down to 3G speeds.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
Okay I was having a dumb moment and kept forgetting to dial *#7284#

Oddly enough after the mod my speeds seemed to have been lowered as before the mod.... I was getting 13/14MBPS and now I'm getting 8 to 10MBPS

I'm thinking of restoring it... Could I have messed up by forgetting to take my sim card out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poke_N_PDA:
you probably are in a place that already has 1900 Mhz refarm. In my area the refarm is fast and the old 1700/2100 has slowed. I'm pretty sure its because They are prepping to launch LTE and have moved the 1700/2100 to free up spectrum. I would be that's what is happening to you. I don't know why it would select that over a faster 1900 connection. It isn't for me. I would wait until you've had a few days to try it out in different locations and make sure it isn't helping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
Hrmmm that makes sense... Tomorrow I'm gunna be a place that has low coverage half the day, so it'll be interesting to see what happens there. LoL

Ohh yea the other odd thing is now, my phone right around the camera area doesn't get really hot anymore... Where as before the mod it'd get hotter than a cook's oven, especially when I was on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
Hrmmm okay now I had better coverage before and 5 outta 5 bars constantly in that area while I was there today.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

I wonder if with this mod if it'd enable LTE too as well, or if we'd have to load a new qcn file for it to work: http://www.dailywireless.org/2013/02/18/t-mobile-lte-advanced-rollout/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspron:
Since the i317 already has the ATT LTE enabled, does this mod just enable the "extra" tmobile bands? Another word, when T-mobile enable LTE service, the i317 is ready to go?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rcboosted:
I'm thinking about doing this and switch to tmobile $30 prepaid. (currently on straight talk) If I enabled all the bands on my Note II, does it have any negative impact on battery life? I thinking it might be listening on ATT frequencies when it doesn't need to.

Also, I'm running clean rom, if I switch to tmobile, so I need to wipe and reflash? Maybe someone with experience can shed some light on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireshot:
I'm running cleanrom 4.5 using an i317m Canadian model. I'm currently in Florida and I did this mod. I'm on the tmobile $30 plan and it works great. I found when driving south we only had edge when on the Interstates but in cities we have 3g - H+.

This mod has worked amazing and I have not personally noticed any battery life reduction. I am also running pegasus kernel.

All I did was flash this mod using qpst and insert the tmobile sim once I crossed the border.
