80 03 E8 06 is the value you should use in your case.

I would assume that the micro tower is provided by T-Mobile. So if Tmobile and AT&T have sharing agreement, it would be possible for you to use your AT&T sim after enabling 1700 band.

But I doubt they would have such an agreement since none of the AT&T phones support 1700 band.

After I was able to get HSPA+ on tmobile yesterday... I flashed the tmobile modem, the phone booted with no imei, etc... I re-flashed back the at&t modem... and the phone is back to square 1... Edge on T-Mobile... So be careful guys, don't flash any modem after this mod... Flashing a modem will revert the mod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jasonliw93:
If flashing a modem reverts the mod the maybe extracting the modem after the mod has been complete and flashing to other devices will work? Just a thought.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] brockmo:
Hey guys. Quick question on this hack. 59 pages is a lot to read but I get the jist. I just sold my Galaxy Nexus and want a Note 2. I use WIND in Canada (AWS band). Much easier to obtain a Rogers/Bell/Telus etc. Note 2. Curious if I do this hack, does it stick forever? When would it go bust and need to be redone? If I download and install a new radio I'm guessing I would then need to apply this? Or is this hack even lower level than a radio zip install and basically just sticks forever (unless I reverted to a stock ROM - which I never do). Thanks a lot to anyone who can answer me this. I could get a WIND/Mobilicity Note 2. But would be tougher to find. Assuming I apply this hack correct (I'm an IT guy for work....) would there even be a benefit to a true/legit AWS Note 2 vs this hacked method? thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] y2whisper:
Funny I was about to ask the same thing. +1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotshoaib:
You just do this hack and no need to change any modem or anything for to use Wind network in Canada on i317M model of Rogers/Bell/Telus Note2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kufel:
It sticks for ever unless you perform modem update.

So - if you have unmodded phone and receive OTA update you will have to perform the steps again.

If you flash custom ROMs usually you can omit modem part - then it stays.

Hope it helped

OK Someone help me out.

I purchased an AT&T i317. It had Jellybean 4.1.1. I use T-Mobile.

I did the unlock procedure, I put my T-Mobile SIM in, and it connected to T-Mobile EDGE fine.

I installed the T-Mobile ROM found in another thread.

I followed all the steps in the OP of this thread to unlock 4G. Phone rebooted, it only connects to EDGE. I have a Nexus 4 that connects to HSPA+.

*EDIT*

UPDATE: I went to *#2263# and selected "1700" under CDMA and changed my phone to CDMA only under settings. My phone periodically shows 4g and it will work. If I adjust the settings to "automatic" and "CDMA/GSM" it simply ignores 4G and stays on EDGE. What is the best setting to choose under these menus? Any good fixes? How can I force it to look for 4G as first preference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] parmar.saab:
I have a stock i317 (at&t) on a tmobile sim. If I perform this on my phone, will I still be able to get lte?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] diamantericos:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazeco:
1) Does this AWS mod only unlock a "4G" symbol on the i317 Note 2, or is there also a "3G" icon? i.e. will it show both a "4G" and "3G" icon like a Nexus 4?

2) My Nexus 4 connects to HSPA in my home. My Note 2 rarely connects, if at all and mainly stays stuck on EDGE. Is there a way to make it look for WCDMA first, and then look for GSM? It seems to find a strong EDGE signal and ignore the 4G.

3) Does the ability to receive a signal vary from i317 to i317, or is it purely based on location? Why does my Nexus 4 work and note Note 2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] danielfeng:
Question: can I enable AWS band on SCH-I605 (Verizon Note 2) by doing this? Does "enabling AWS" here mean enabling 1,700 MHz?

Will be getting a new SCH-I605 soon (suppose the seller doesn't cancel my bid :laugh:), and will see if I can help with the qcn dump.

How about LTE then? I know ATT & TMO versions can work on either one's LTE (band 17 or AWS), but Verizon is using band 13. Is there anyway to somehow "enable" those bands for LTE, just like the way you did for HSPA?

UPDATE: the seller on eBay just informed me that the SCH-I605 that I won was dramatically "stolen" thus he will have to cancel it and give me full refund - I wish he came up with a better excuse than that crap. Looks like he thinks $470 for a brand new SCH-I605 is unacceptable, and I found that I missed several good deals this morning (like $425 for a new SGH-I317 ATT Note 2).

Does this survive modem flashes, or does this have to be redone when flashing or reflashing a modem?

EDIT: I read that it has to be redone if flashing a new modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chousayz:
I would like to know the answer to this question also =)

I am on MA4 right now but if I want to switch back to L7 I have to redo this flash and vice versa going back from L7 to MA4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
You do. I went a page back and found the answer myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chousayz:
alright! thank you sir!

looks like I will be fine with the MA4 now its not causing any issues for me.

I am assuming majority is on MA4 modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Yeah. Some people claim L7 gives them better speeds, but most people including myself are on MA4.

I'm wondering about something though: This seems to be a modification of the modem's firmware, while the modem is on the phone. It's relatively easy to back up a modem, using ABD. So technically, couldn't someone flash for example the MA4 modem, then apply the AWS patch, then back up the modem and upload it for everyone?

Unless I'm misunderstanding how this ROM works. It would be easy to test. I just don't have a T-Mobile SIM:

-----------------------------

1. Apply the mod from your PC

2. Back it up using the ADB command (for the N7100 but it should work for us too):

It should show up on your SD card as "modem.bin". This is the modem firmware, which dictates, among other things, what frequencies are enabled for the phone to use (provided it actually has hardware support, which in our case it does).

3. Reflash the stock MA4 modem to wipe out the mod.

4. Flash your backup and see if the mod works. If it does, then it's very easy to just put this up on XDA for everyone to download and flash, without needing a computer. Plus there's the added benefit of being able to reflash over and over again and retain the mod.

-----------------------------

Well I paid $465 for my AT&T Note 2; it was like 9.9/10 condition (tiny tiny indent on the bezel, but covered by a case). $470 is more than fair for a CDMA version. In terms of compatibility, AT&T's is the best; out of the box the T-Mobile one works on AT&T LTE and HSPA+, but the AT&T model can do that and it supports a lot more LTE bands (possibly for future rollouts on different frequencies). $425 for an i317 is an absolute steal. I don't know why people keep thinking they can get $500+ for it. It's an amazing phone, sure. But for $500+ you can get something else.

Hello everyone,

just want to give update about my experience with Att Note 2, factory Android factory 4.1.2 , rooted and unlocked with QCN PATCH applied

What It works with:

1) Note 2 work with aws band, in Atalanta speed up to 10 mps down and 4 mps up.

2) When AWS band not available ( or weak signal) it falls back to "EDGE" and do not pick up "Re farm 1900" signal in same location ( I used to get strong signal refarm 1900 at same spot - My work desk)

3) it worked on t mobile LTE in Baltimore -- Excellent speed, but default on EDGE when there is not LTE signal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] FiveOhFour:
Curious if the Tmobile Note II can transversely also work on ATT LTE and if it will also fall back to ATT HSPA network, if I understand correctly it will but that may be a big if, sorry if it should be obvious...brain dead at this point. Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
The T-Mobile Note 2 does both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G and LTE out of the box. For HSPA+ it does: 850/900 (Supposidly)/1700/1900/2100 MHz. For LTE it does: 700 (AT&T's)/1700 MHz (T-Mobile's)

The AT&T one, out of the box does:

HSPA+ 850/900 (Supposidly)/1900/2100 MHz, with 1700 MHz locked down. But for LTE it supports many more bands than T-Mobile's, which is why I got it: 700 (AT&T's)/850/1700 (T-Mobile's)/1900 MHz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] FiveOhFour:
Ok so that makes perfect sense, and you also have the ability to unlock the 1700mhz band for the ATT model right? Amazing that I used to work for Suncom->Bellsouth mobility ->ATT ->Cingular-> ATT and finally got irritated and went to manage a RadioShack where it wouldn't be such big swings and back then I knew all the bands for all the carriers and likewise for the most common out of country destinations and I knew them like a 5th grader knows his multiplication tables. Now it's all getting jumbled :eek:

Anyway so what domestic Flexibility does the extra LTE bands afford you, which carriers utilize which of the extra bands or is it for traveling abroad. Or does ATT and TMo use those bands in some parts of the country, I was just reading that the LG Nexus 4 will work on band 4 which I believe is 1700mhz, but if I'm thinking correctly that's just hardware support and without the proper amplifiers the Note II is the much better choice for someone wanting LTE options. I really want miricast support though so that's the next thing to find out if the note II supports that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspron:
Very interesting observation. Can anyone else second this claim that it wont connect to refarmed 1900 band? I also notice 4G or Edge as well. Never 3G on Tmobile.

Wow... what a life saver this thread is. Only problem I had following the OP was I was googling for QPST instead of QPST build 377. After I got that it was all smooth sailing. My i317 is using a t-mo sim and sitting solidly on 4G here in north county San Diego. Haven't seen an HSPDA, + or otherwise or an EDGE all day so I can't chime in on that problem but I'll be following closely since I'd like as many options as possible.

Thank you to the OP and to all who have shared their knowledge on this thread. I've been around here (mostly lurking) since windows mobile 5 days and I think this is one of the most useful sites on the internet.

For any newbies, in order for it to be useful, you have to read, read, read... the acronyms and jargon are strong in this one :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yoyo168:
Thanks, I've read through the whole thread from beginning to end and knows it works with wind, but didn't see a direct answer saying the ATT_I317_AWSMOD_dumimei.qcn file works with an i317m, since I did a NV backup and my qcn file came out to be smaller in size than the ATT.qcn file. 306 KB vs 291 KB. That's why I wanted to make sure so as to lessen the chance of screwing up my phone :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
At the end of the day, yes, you should have done a search within the thread for "i317M", but you were right to ask rather than possibly screw up your phone by just flashing it.

What I want to know is if flashing an i317M modem on an i317 is ok, because AT&T RAT locks their modems, which prevents the "Network Mode" menu from appearing in any ROM (can't turn off LTE). I'm on Straight Talk AT&T, which only provides HSPA+, so the phone is wasting battery keeping LTE on. I know on the Canadian models, the modem isn't locked and the menu is enabled.

But it's got me baffled to right now.

Also yeah well this thread is about enabling the T-Mobile AWS/LTE on AT&T Note 2's so these could be very promising for us after you've enabled the AWS/LTE, we might end up using some of these for well the LTE or to see if it's working right probably and maybe tweaking the settings a lil too.
