I was able to get through this. I was working well on ATT's network via Cricket service. However, I don't want to use the stock rom at all. Too clunky. I flashed CryanogenMod 12.1 and it works well except I can't get anything above EDGE speeds, and don't get any incoming phone calls and I cannot hangup outgoing phone calls. I found a thread (http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...l-alerts-and-outgoing-call-is-not-hanging-up/) on this which I was sort of scared to try, but wanted to see if anyone here found a way to get the slick CM 12.1 version on their Sprint phones converted to use GSM networks. Can I flash a GSM LTE version (t0lte)? The AT&T (t0lteatt) version is only up to 10.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] agibby5:
I removed the phone version check from the t0lte version and was able to flash it onto my Sprint SPH-L900. That fixed the problems with receiving any calls, ending calls and the capped EDGE speed. However, now I'm having terrible voice service. I dropped 5 calls in under an hour. Anything I can do to improve this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
What modem are you using? I was using ne2 and never had an issue...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] agibby5:
Yes, NE2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] agibby5:
This Sprint phone was unusable for me with the CM12.1 software installed running on AT&T network. Using the NE2 modem, I couldn't carry on a call without it dropping. Voice service was terrible. I put my SIM in a native Cricket device and all those voice service problems went away. Something is up with the Sprint Note 2 on ATT in my case.

IN USA have L900

with a different MEID once used on boost mobile before the GSM/tmobile change.

Its on factory sprint rom 4.2.2

BB: L900VPUCHOH3

BUILD KOT49H. L900VPUCHOH3

Installed a GTN7100 SIM adapter

Went to network setting and changed to GSM prior to new sim module install.

and it wont read SD Cards it says black sd card inserted and all sims are invalid.

Changed back to CDMA after the old module was put back in. It was reading sd cards fine.

Do you think it was a bad module or perhaps the software isnt compatible with this latest update?

anyone have simmilar or different stories ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
You don't just change modules and it works, you have to do the domestic and international unlocks for the s4, after that the sim card will be recognized... Google is your best friend...

which APN Manger Pro to install

Hi,

Thanks for valuable information.

I am from India and I have SPHL900(SprinT) which i mistakenly bought on ebay and later noticed that it had no sim slot.I added the sim slot as you suggested. Now as you advised to install APN Manger PRO . Please suggest me which APN Manager APP. Actually there are as of now two applications on PLAY Store with name "APN Manager" and "APNmanager" (notice that the space is missing in 2nd application).

Also when i tried to put a gsm sim (without APN and Titanium applications installed) Phone says "Invalid SIm".

Please guide me .

Thanks,

Gagan
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cidxtc:
You need to unlock the device for sim card use. Google L720 (sprint S4) demestic and global unlock and follow those directions. Also make sure you are on stock rom (not stock based custom rom).

Could it take a Sprint SIM card?

If I were to perform this hardware modification and put an active Sprint LTE SIM card into the Sprint Galaxy Note 2, would it work with Sprint LTE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k1o6r3:
Can't be sure since I did my mod in Portugal and never tested with US networks. But I can assume that you will only have Sprint LTE if you use a Note 2 LTE Sim Card module and probably it won't work, since the cellphone is not equiped to use 4G with a Sim Card module. But I'm not the best person to answer you, I'm just speculating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill720:
For science! It should be tested with Sprint SIM Cards

If you could test it with Sprint, when you get the chance, that would be great. My assumption is that the "blank" that the phone comes with is its Sprint LTE SIM card, for all intents and purposes. With that in mind, technically it is using LTE with this Sim card module (because all LTE is authenticated using a Sim card).

I likely won't explore the issue any further, personally, since it really isn't worth it anyway. This really seems like something that should be tested by somebody who has attempted the modification though. For science! :D

What measures have already been taken:

1) The SIM card connector was purchased.

2) Root rights and SuperSU application are installed.

3) Installed applications Titanium Backup PRO and APN MANAGER PRO.

4) With the help of the application Titanium Backup PRO made the APN MANAGER PRO a system application.

If you don't want to cut a Sprint mid plate for the SIM card slot, buy a Verizon Note 2 mid plate. It's a perfect fit. AT&T and TMo plate won't work...connector(s) have different positioning.

sorry for the late reply.

i dont have idea on the hradware/sim slot you use but you can try. if not working use n7100 sim module.

to answer your questions sph-l900 is sprint means carrier from us and network is obvious sprint because sph-l900 is sprint :D

my android is stock firmware from sam mobile wich is free to download 4.1.2 already.

try all baseband some of us already posted which is working it depends on what sim you will use or maybe depends on country you will use the phone.

above this reply alphineman mentioned the baseband which is working for us and tested. thanks

Failed here in Uganda

thanks for all that useful information. I followed it to the dot and installed a simcard. Unfortunately, it shows letter "R" at the area of signal with no signal strength. When i check the settings signal strength shows -120dBm 99asu but Network is unknown and so is the mobile network type. I have had to flash the ROM with cyanogenMod 10.2 but to no avail.

What more should i do?

Regards,

Huseki
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
Best practice is to stick with stock ROM until your get everything working, then you can install whatever ROM you want later. I would check your APN settings.

Eureka! I got it working in Uganda

Happy to report that i eventually got it working here in Uganda after changing the base band to LK8. It worked like magic. It is readily available for download. I gather from a senior member that it can also work if you flash with LJ1 or LJC baseband. Just make sure you get the SPH-L900 version of LK8 and flash the modem/baseband with it from CWM recovery. The odin procedure failed for me. May be i was using a wrong version.

SPH-L900 cannot run ussd codes nor load airtime

Hi Guys,

After turning the Spring SPH-L900 into a GSM phone, I cannot run USSD codes which are required to load airtime or check airtime balance. Most service providers here require you to run these codes even when loading Internet data. Has someone had this experience? I am currently running Cyanogen Mod 10.2. I tried installing International version of Cyanogen mode but the installation process failed half-way through. In the meantime, I have to put the simcard into another phone, load airtime or data and then put it back into the galaxy note 2. What should i do?

working.. but no 2G option

hi, im from Indonesia (Jakarta) I've tried this tutorial for my sph-l900, and succeeded.

I use stock rom mc2 (rooted) + modem LC1 and it works flawless. i've been tried all simcard provider/service in my country and all them works.

The most complicated moment is the time to open bazel, although successfully but there were some marks left on the surrounding bazel. but it does not matter. the important to me GSM is alive.

after using for 3 days, I felt uncomfortable with the battery life drain so fast. its very wasteful because the phone put 3g/H/H+ always on. there is no option to switch 2G.

then so i've tried install custom rom (CM 10.2 nightly JB 4.3) it had option for 2G. even more option for specific coverage 2G/3G/H/H+ GSM. the battery life running normal as i expected. and all system working even better than Stock MC2 + modem LC1, although I have to sacrifice the samsung apps, but then i have an issue with the battery charge which is very very long time to charging (take about 8-10 hour to 100%).

and now im back to MC2 + Modem LC1, meanwhile looking for solution of 2G option, for better battery life.

My question is, is there any application that can make my phone running 2g, or maybe recommended custom rom for this modded note 2?. thx so much.

ps: sorry for bad english :p

! I'm on Iusacell network getting H+ 21.6Mb/s.

Remember, you must be in compatible modem, I'm using LK8, flashed zip through CWM.

No need to mess with APN apps, just root your device and add the following two lines at the end of the build.prop file in /system

ril.sales_code=LOL

ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

With that, you will see the "Access Point Names" option in Mobile Networks, which will allow you to add your APN easily.

If you haven't bought the bad esn Sprint Note 2 yet, you're better off with a bad esn Verizon Note 2 (SCH-I605). It already comes with SIM card slot... So no hardware mod needed... And it is completely unlocked out of the box. Just pop in your GSM SIM card add your APNs and you're good to go.

How to enable USSD codes by flashing custom ROM.

I previously mentioned how difficult it is to make use of USSD codes on SPH-L900 which are commonly used on GSM networks to load airtime, data bundle or check balance. When i attempt to dial a ussd code, the phone just reads it like a normal phone number and dials it. Ofcourse it cannot go through. I wish to find out if anyone has been successful. I tried flashing with cyanogenMod of N7000 and that of N7100 without any success. The flashing process just stalls. This happened despite following proper procedures to the letter. My thinking was that since N7000 is internationa version, its cyanogenMod would support Ussd codes. Has any one seen custom ROM that can support ussd codes on SPH-L900? Is there anything i can do to enable USSD codes?

huseki

Your point is right, but the price is different... i bought a SprintSPH- L900 for $150 on ebay..so i think is a good deal....
