Been trying to get my phone to run fully on gingerbread, and have tried the official v20e.kdz flash, as well as Mik_os's CM7, both worked great, and I liked them a lot.
BUT, I can't get my 3G/Data connection to work on either. WiFi works fine, and I can connect to the internet fine that way.
So I am currently flashed back to the gross V10V 2.2.1 Froyo until I can get it figured out. I REALLY want to run CM7, but with no 3G I just can't really use it.
Searches have returned nothing. Any other canadian guys out there with this same problem?
I have a data plan, and I am with Koodo/Telus.
I believe it has something to do with the baseband.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217504
Already checked it out, but the V10E image will not work with my phone. I need the V10V image for it to work. Is there a 7z for the V10V platform?

If you want a custom ROM, select one that corresponds to your baseband or switch the baseband. If you do not, you will have no data. That is all to it. End of story.
You can extract the baseband yourself from KDZ archive. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901417 (steps 1-2).
All of this covered in the sticky thread.
Got it. Currently have extracted needed files from the uncompressed dz file for my stock ROM. I will be reuploading CM7 and franco's kernel,(Lots of users seem to have luck with it, and I liked it when I ran it for a day) and then flashing my V10V radio and I will let you know!
Edit:
Wait, CM7 currently has a bug so 3G/Data does not work? Shoot! Or am I fixing this by flashing my stock rom's baseband? Will find out soon enough....
And I admit I'm a bit of a noob, I only started doing this last week. I'm learning though.
You need old (v10) baseband

No dice. My phone was in its factory state when I began this project. It was rooted, installed AmonRa's custom backup, and I installed DrellisDee's Kernel so I could overclock with 2.2.1 froyo. Was stable at 480/768, but it still wasn't enough.
Nandroid backup, google backup, cleared cache, and dalvik. (Thank your AmonRa!)
Flashed CM7, latest stable release 6.5.7
Flashed franco.Kernel.v1-16082011
Booted up, currently running with no issues. Flashed my V10V baseband using LGMDP v1.5.exe .
No errors, everything went well, battery still at 92%.
Still no internet unless connected to WIFI, Damn. Guess I'm S.O.L. on this one eh?
Thanks for the help guys. Gonna check out some other Ginger ROMs and give them a try to see if I can get ginger to work with my 3G network. Any suggestions? I'm stuck with v10 based ROMs since LG hasn't released any V20 setups for my network.

Never thought of that, hmmm, APN's are blank. One second....
GOT IT!!!!! Everything is working, 3G, 2G, wifi, etc.
Of course it was something so simple, haha.
THANKS! Awesome help!
Off to play with my phone for a few hours!
At least it works now.
Yeah, I don't think I can put my phone down now. Definitely enjoying the benefits of CM7. I think I am gonna go make my friend with the galaxy S jealous lol.

You can't tell me how you got the phone rooted in the first place can you?
I'm with Koodo and have the Froyo 2.2.1 firmware on there.
I've tried everything I can do to get it rooted, and it just won't!
Gingerbreak says that there is a problem and won't do it.
Superoneclick hangs on step 6 which is mounting the SD card
I tried to grab a v10_G flash which is the telus stock ( I think ) but there was an error while trying to flash with kdz flash ( update error param =2 ).
Can ANYBODY help me to figure this out?
I havd koodo, just last friday I rooted 2 friend's phones with the gingerbreak app from xda thread. I took the second one and at first it didn't work because there were too many dots in the file name, simple as that, took me a while to figure it out, so I renamed to something like gingerbreak1.apk and it worked. For the data not working, just google " koodo apn " then you'll end up with the good apn info wich is simply. " sp.koodo.com " , port = 80, NO proxy as it just slow down the net, the other settings as they already are, 302 and 230 or something like that they come as default near the bottom of apn creation option in mobile options. All other fields leave blank. Hope it works..

I decided to install a different version of gingerbreak, and suddenly everything worked so simply...
I have since installed clockworkmod and have done a full back up.
Then I installed cyanomod and everything is up and going.
I was nervous to flash the google apps, but everything is happy.
Oh ya... I did have to update my apn data to the koodo network. I've tested MMS in and out.
You might want to try Andy's Phoenix rom; the fastest one and amazing statusbar. Some light text issues will be fixed the 20th october update. Beside that, the best for me with franco 2.6.35.14 oct. 2 kernel. Anyway, glad you could make it

My network settings switched to gsm, they should be "cdma", im sprint cust and live in US. Ill change setting back to cdma, as soon as I back out 1 screen then go back in the setting will have auto changed back to gsm. I tried to do a recovery and phone would not load recovery (fail). I have found out that the install_recovery.sh file is nowhere on the phone. I just tried unlocking bootloader which was successful and then flashed cwm 5.0.2.7photon3 and sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198-7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US. Also cleared phone a few times and anyway booted up then and it was still auto switching itself to gsm after Id change it to cdma. Im stumped, could anyone help me, or does any1 possibly have idea what might be causing this. I also tried flashing radio from "halfevildruid" thread, that did not work either. PLEASE HELP, WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THANKS. I hope I posted in correct place, sorry if not. I looked around for quite awhile so it would be in correct place.
*#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone information"
scroll down to "Select preferred network type" and select CDMA Auto (PRL)
Reboot
Q-In settings/about phone what is you PRL?
Q-Which radio did you flash?
Also install_recovery.sh removes CWM on every reboot and replaces it with stock recovery. So do you want a locked phone or unlocked phone? If you want unlocked then you do not want install_recovery.sh.
Have you tried to flash the stock sbf and starting over?
Lokifish Marz I will get info and post back shortly, thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks you for the reply Lokifish,
I hope I am replying back the correct way ( hitting the quote button), anyways I have now got the cm 9 6282012 installed on phone and seems to be working good except my phone is still set on gsm and when Im going to apn's there is no info there it is blank. I went into phone info #*#*4636*#*# and change the setting to "cdma auto prl" and reboot the phone and its still on gsm. I have noticed something in the forums, should I flash the beta 3.1 cm9 file? (which I have not done, but I have flashed the gapps file though) and if so should that be done after flashing the cm9 6282012?
by the way im running cm9 and I go into settings/ about phone/ I don't find any prl. nor do I find it in the *#*#4636#*#* either. Would greatly appreciate any help please
still stuck

1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf Anyways I had tried this file but didn't have any luck.
As of now I have cm9 installed and running except for my sprint cdma network, I do have wifi. but in apn settings it is just blank.
I have a question along the same line. I recently rooted my mopho, keep having an issue installing bootstrap recovery. It seems to continually load when I try to install recovery. Also superuser keeps denying access to system recovery install. Idk if it had to do with the continually loading or if it's a separate issue. I even went in and allowed access with no help still. I'm tring to keep 4g, so I'm staying locked for the time being. Just such a pain, coming from htc evo 4g & 3D.... Never again will I buy moto. Should have done some research before buying. Any help is greatly appreciated.

*READ BELOW FOR A GUIDE TO FIX*
I've had my note for over a year now and i have had it rooted pretty much the entire time. Never any problems with it up until recently it started doing this thing where it would keep restarting. It would boot up and less than a minute later just restart. Off and on for a few days it was doing this. I was still running 2.3.6 at that point. So i decided to push 4.0.4 via odin since kies didnt support the firmware. Everything was working fine for a few hours then all of the sudden "the ring of death" showing me no service. Went through the phone and noticed it was saying there is no sim inserted. Tested sim on another phone. Works fine. Since then ive figured out via kies i can recovery and update firmware. Tried that. No Bueno. Now im to the point where im on 4.0.4 with no service. I've scoured through forums trying all kinds of different things, pushing different roms and modems via odin and cwm. Still no bueno.
Baseband version
Unknown
Kernel Version
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UCLF6
If anyone can give me ideas im willing to try them out.
Thanks.
I got it working so heres a direction for anyone else who has this issue!
Replaced Sim&SD card reader-No fix
After flashing all kinds of roms & modems still same issue saying no sim inserted.
Do a hard reset through your settings.
Flash cwm and put the radio from this link on your sd card. Use cwm to flash the radio.
Flash rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261598 via odin.
The first try i got an error during flash and got stuck on the software download error screen.
Reflashed the JB rom.
After its flashed flash clockwork recovery.
Enter cwm and do a factory reset. Clear cache. Clear dalvik cache. Reboot system.
If you get service, turn off phone. enter cwm and do a backup.
Reboot system.
It should be working.
If not restart and make sure to do a factory reset through your settings in the phone before reflashing rom.
Got the Phone up and running for about 30 mins.
After battery removed it reverted back to no sim card inserted.
Kept reflashing rom until it worked again.
Flashed cwm.(ClockworK recovery mod)
Deleted cache, dalvik cache
Backed up via cwm
If it reverts back to no sim after that restore using the cwm backup.-it worked for me
Now for the tricky part, my phone was getting crappy service...
So heres what i did to fix it.
Settings-more settings-mobile networks-access point names-click on the apn.

I believe I've read something like this before. I think they fixed it by starting over from scratch. Try returning to stock thru Odin. Then root and flash rom of choice.

GB stands for Gingerbread which was the first version of the OS that came with the phone. I believe the number was 2.3.6 (you can take a look in the about section in the settings and it'll tell you what you're currently running). ICS is Ice Cream Sandwhich which for our phone was 4.0.4 i believe. Jelly bean just came out today which you can use Kies to upgrade to and that I believe is 4.1.2. The numbers don't really mean a think, just the classification of what the OS is so if your phone reads something else (say 2.3.4) assume your phone is right and I'm wrong. I can't remember OS versions to save my life haha.
But you can use Kies to do an emergency recovery and I THINK it'll install Gingerbread. that's where I'd start, then test it, and then move to ICS and test, and then move to JB and test. I know long tedious process, but sometimes it's necessary. Imagine how fun I am to talk to on the phone while troubleshooting a computer :laugh:

what I use to migrate, and I between roms at least once a week with a full wipe because I rely on my phone being stable.
SMS and call logs: SMS Backup + (saves your call logs and sms to your gmail account. Makes a label for it and everything, pretty sweet. You can also restore from it. it takes about an hour for me to restore at 7000+ text messages).
pictures/media: stored on SD card
apps: if rooted and rommed I use titanium backup and run 2 sets. those which I want to keep my data like sms backup + to make restore easier and those I don't care about the data like google voice. If you're stock, just remember to check the little box in the beginning saying backup this phone to google (or something like that) and the next time you have to restore tick the box that says restore from google (or something like that) and it'll reinstall your apps. Mind you not the info, but it'll give you a head start.
As with your issue with installing roms. If you're using CWM i highly recommend switching to TWRP, not saying it's better in fact I like CWM better, but TWRP is the best for our roms and phone. If you have no clue what I mean by CWM or TWRP, read the all info sticky about how to rom thy phone.
I hope that helps.
Thanks OG. Yes, I know CMW and TWRP. I used to switch ROMs a lot. Finally stuck with Collective's latest (the orange one) pretty happy with it except that it's major glitch seems to be reboots whenever an app updates. So I figured unchecking auto update in Gstore should handle that.
You're saying I should try rooting w Odin again, install Superuser, then use TWRP to flash with? I'll be happy to read another 4 hrs of posts/stickies if that'll get me sorted out. I don't expect people like yourself to spend your day helping me. I'm very thankful for your tips here.
I've poured thru the "All things Gnote" threads and Noob Guides. They can be confusing as they always link out to many different threads. There is hardly ever a "Here are the steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Thanks again OG.

No problem always happy to help. since you're used to this sorta thing you don't need to use odin again and reroot. What you can do is either install TWRP through CWM using this file here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.zip
Or you can install Goo manager, click settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript (though that's only 2.4.4.0 the link above is 2.5.0.0)
That should change you over to TWRP. and like always do a nandroid backup and then flash to your heart's content!

i have the same issue.....i kn0w its n0t an hardware issue....my ph0ne is fairly new never dr0pped and this started happening 3 days after i p0rted black star jb alpha
I have this same issues ive tried flashing everything ive tried a new sim and replaced the card reader.
What works consistently for me if to flash the latest modem everytime i have to reboot or boot the note. Its my daughters phone now and she drains the battery regularly if it boots after charging or it needs to be rebooted for whatever reason it will come up with the no sim card error. If i flash the modem thru recovery it will work for that boot but only as long as I dont reboot or shut the phone off, then i will have to flash the modem again.
Not fixed
All. This is not fixed. I am having the same issue and if you follow the guide, it works for a day maybe regardless of what rom is loaded or what modems. Has anyone found a real solution to this yet??
i717 running stock GB or ICS or JB roms...
Thanks!
I have the exact same issue. Replaced the sim/sd card slot and still no dice ): Flashed to stock and back. Nope. Still won't work

I'm having the same problem. There seems to be no set way to get it back to working. Basically any reboot of the phone produces a no sim card error. I have tried flashing the modem through recovery as it was mentioned that will fix the problem. That did not work for me. What does work, sometimes, is one of the following:
1. Full wipe and reinstall
2. Restore backup from Recovery
3. Fix permissions
I just keep doing one of the above listed and eventually it works. However if the phone reboots then it's back to the carousel of trying these options to get it back to working.
I'm running Padawan JB V2
I honestly have no idea what's causing it. I haven't tried to fix permissions before to fix this issue, but if I go into recovery and install the modem again and reboot, it works fine for a while (and by a while, I mean like a few hours at max).
Just started having this issue, myself...after flashing Tmo_SGH-T989_VKL1_radio_ATTNOTE.zip modem on my phone...restoring from a prior backup...
Restoring a backup will not change your modem.
Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's.

U need a new SIM card. 99% sure that's ur problem. They r free from any Verizon store. Give it a shot before u go thru the hassle of going back to s on and stock.

So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

if your using viper it supports only 2.04 as a base for its radios i believe. like I said try flashing crpalmer's one this one http://d-h.st/hu7
OH also yeah your towers by you could be experiencing maintenance try driving to somewhere else id say at least a mile away.

I flashed palmer's and no change. I just texted a coworker who lives about .25 miles away to see if he's getting 4G.
Again right now I'm on the factory ROM.

does the factory restore work like your cwm one i mean?
Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.
I had the very same error with the stock phone, and once I switched it - I started getting 4G almost everywhere.

I'll try the factory restore in the ROM and see what it does. (haven't setup the rom due to the lack of 4g)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17145857&postcount=2 found this and it seems like your towers might be experiencing something if they dropped from pure lte to this. like some equipment has failed and it has dropped to a lower communication lvl hardware wise. EDIT: when i meant factory i meant in cwm going to restore and restoring your whole backup(snapshot) of the factory rom that you made not in the rom itself.

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.
Use fastboot to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Original thread of the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236633
PS: This is the original verizon radio.

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.

After I noticed my 4G issue, I restore my CWM backup. Yes the CWM backup is what I restored and I am running from right now. It's size is 1.39GB in size.
I will do the radio flash right now.
I am in NO WAY affiliated with any of the ROM developers mentioned below nor am I a developer at all. I discovered this by trial and error and decided to share with the community. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything mentioned worked for me and me alone. I will NOT guarantee it will work for you. I cannot offer any support concerning why it will not work for you and NEITHER DOES THE DEVS AND THEIR VZW ROMs!!!! SO DO NOT CLOG THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEIR ROM WON'T WORK WITH YOUR SPRINT NOTE 3!!!!!
THIS IS FOR 4.4.X ONLY!!! I am currently on NC5 baseband so I have no idea if it will work with NH7. It should, but again, I can only speak for me and my setup. SMS, MMS (with 3rd party app to send possibly) and GPS all work for me. Calls are working as well.
EDIT: Ok folks, I have decided to go ahead and post the how to anyway even though I have gotten no response from any of the devs of the Verizon ROMs mentioned below. I assume they are working on new projects and do not have time to mess with this discovery. They also do this for free and have lives to live just like the rest of us. If at any time they want me to remove this I will, purely out of respect for what they have done for all of us. With that in mind, THE DEVS HAVE NO TIME TO SUPPORT THIS SO PLEASE DO NOT CLOG UP THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS RELATED TO THEIR VZW ROMS WORKING ON SPRINT DEVICES!
What you will need: A rooted N900P Note 3 device with a custom recovery installed. I am currently using the latest Philz Recovery so I cannot say for sure if using TWRP will cause this not to work on your device. I don't think it will matter, but to be safe I can only speak for Philz Recovery right now.
If you are on TWRP and want to switch to Philz (many have suggested doing so regardless if you try this or not) keep in mind Philz is not being updated now ( I think ) so the latest build for KitKat is 6.12.9 as far as I know and can be found HERE for the N900P. If you don't know how to change recoveries you probably shouldn't be trying this at all. Research it and you will find out how to do it. Or ask around. You will also need to use a 3rd party MMS app possibly to send MMS messages. On Eclipse it seems to work using the stock Messenger, but on Alliance I had to use Textra to send MMS.
Step 1: BACK UP YOUR CURRENT SETUP!!!! I cannot stress how important this is with ANY ROM flashing or file changing. I have been caught with my pants down before and it really sucks when you have to Odin back to stock because you did not do a Nandroid backup. That is the main purpose of having a custom recovery like Philz or TWRP or CWM is to completely back up your device. Most or all offer EFS backups as well. Also keep a copy of said backup on an external device in case you accidentally wipe your EXT card. Don't think it's not possible, I have done it on other devices because I thought I was cool and could wipe real fast and flash.
Step 2: Acquire the stock kernel for your build/baseband ( Mine is NC5 ) in a flashable .zip. The NCS stock kernel can be found HERE OR you can use Lean Kernel 3.10 ( which I am using) that can be found HERE. MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE HTLESPR version!!!
Step 3: Download the Verizon Touchwiz ROM of your choice. I have successfully tested this on Eclipse and Alliance. Eclipse can be found HERE Make sure you use the correct build ( 4.4.X ) because it needs to match your baseband. In other words, if you are currently on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 use the same ROM build that they offer. Eclipse 2.0.1 is what I am using. Alliance ROM is HERE Those are the only 2 I have tried thus far. Experiment if you dare, but the others should work as well ( in theory).
Step 4: Grab the flashable app APN Backup and Restore provided HERE THANKS TO FREEZA!!!! You will need this to get the Sprint APNs on your device. More on how do do this later.
Step 5: Take a deep breath. While still on your Sprint ROM, update your PRL and Profile for good measure because those options will not be in settings on the VZW ROMs. Relax, it will be ok.
Step 6: Boot into recovery, do a full wipe like you would any other time flashing a new ROM. Flash the ROM of choice, then flash the Sprint kernel of choice. If you do not get any errors, reboot system and wait...........and wait some more. It will take a few min for either ROM to boot. If you see the Eclipse or Alliance splash screen (boot animation) you are probably ok. Do not panic at the 3 min mark and shut down. Just let it do it's thing. You should eventually see the beginning setup screen. If after 8-10 min you still are seeing the animation it probably is in a bootloop. It may not work but you can simply power down and boot back into recovery and restore your backup, or try again flashing the kernel first, then ROM, then kernel again then boot into system and wait again. Just use some patience.
Step 7: If you made it to this step, congrats, you have booted a VZW ROM onto your Sprint Note 3. But we have more to do. After you set up wifi and gone through the setup menu you may see some Verizon related errors pop up. Just ignore them for now. Those apps can be frozen using TiBu after completely done as a cleanup measure. Boot back into recovery ( On Eclipse you will have to do this using vol up/home/power buttons because there is no 4 way reboot menu. This can be added with Xposed and Wanam later as well). Flash the APN Backup and Restore app ( this could also be done when you flashed the ROM I suppose) and reboot. which will put the APN backup & restore app into your /system/app directory and the SprintAPNxXML file onto your sdcard. Once done installing, boot back up and launch the application, Ignore the warning screen you get from first launch, then press menu and select "Disable ICS check." Once done, exit the app and load it again, then choose "Delete APNs" and select yes to the following prompt. Once done, go ahead and tap Restore APNs, and select the SprintAPNsXML from the prompt and select no to the duplicate check. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK THE FIRST TIME- Move the app from /system/app directory to /system/priv-app/ directory and change permissions to rwx/rwx/rwx and reboot. Then try to Delete APN, then try to Add APNs using the provided SprintAPNxXML file in the app. This will add Sprint APNs.
Step 8: Go into settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and choose the appropriate one for your area. I chose APN2 LTE Internet n.ispsn. You should now have data icon showing. This worked for me, hopefully it worked for you. I have seen it switch between LTE and 3G so I know it is handing off correctly. Make sure Network Mode is CDMA/LTE/EVDO as well. I haven't tested on the road yet, but will tonight. But it has been working flawlessly for me on local towers.
Step 9: You will need to add Sprint apps you were using, including voicemail. Install Titanium Backup and freeze Verizon related apps if you want. Also you will notice in settings your phone will show to be a N900V instead of N900P due to the Verizon ROM. Don't panic.
Step 10: Profit! At this point you should be able to tinker with the ROMs according to what the threads offer. I know Eclipse has it's own app to customize some things. But Xposed will work as well. I have no idea if Hotspot works or any of that stuff, I do not use it. Alliance has a ton of customization settings and apps built in, including themes. Some minor tweaks haven't worked, but most have. Eclipse has actual AOSP functionality baked in. ENJOY!! I will try to answer as many questions as i can, but again, please DO NOT clog up the threads of those great ROMs with questions, the devs do not, as far as I know, support this method and will not be able to help you with your Sprint device.
EDIT: When you connect to your PC via USB for the first time you may have to toggle MTP on and off to get it to be recognized in Explorer. It will most likely say N900V when you get connected. Also on Alliance a couple of Verizon apps will try to install on your PC. You can cancel them.

MUCH THANKS!!!
Sprint side: Freeza for the APN Backup and Restore app as well as all you have done for the Sprint Note 3!! LMMT for the NC5 kernel thread! Phil3759 for Philz Recovery for the N900P
Verizon Side: Nitroglycerine33 for all he has done for the community. My first attempt at flashing was an Eclipse ROM. Cannot say enough about what he has done! Beanstown106 for the hard work on all the Verizon devices and now along with Team Alliance they continue to dominate!
Multiple Devices: Imoseyon for his great Lean Kernels!! I have run them on every device so far. They just get better and better.
All the devs on all the devices deserve a huge thanks from all of us! Without them none of this would be possible!!
this would be cool to know, and give us more choices at ROM flashing time
Is it me or is XDA running real slow today?? Even on Tapatalk.
Anyway, so far I have SMS, MMS and GPS working smooth. Really was simple. No need to decompile or change the ROM itself. As long as the bootloaders match (4.4.2 to 4.4.2 etc) it works. Thanks to an earlier post by Freeza dealing with APN restore everything works thus far. Really hope Nitro gives me the go ahead to create a thread or at least post a how to with links to his site. If you want real AOSP feel on a TW ROM, Eclipse is the way to go. I ran this all the time on my VZW Note 3.
Also will be trying the same with a couple of other VZW ROMs I once loved as well. Stay tuned. :good:
Looks like I will have to post the How To here anyway so I am testing another VZW ROM now (Alliance) and if all goes well I will add the directions to this thread in the OP.
All the way to Chicago and back with no data issues. Have a hard time believing nobody knew we could do this.

I had no clue! I knew the devices were very similar but figured if it were possible to use VZW ROMs across devices, I'd have started months ago! Thanks for the How To, I'll be giving it a shot this evening. Cheers! :beer:

Vzw lte b4 on/off
are you able to get new LTE Bands (4 ,13) so that n900p can operate on verizon network on MVNO?
or are you able to VZW LTE B4 ON/OFF to enable band 4 on?
This sounds awesome! Thank you for posting! I will have to try this out this weekend.
Latest one I tried was vn Rom 7.2 and Norma beta 6 both good.
Sorry these 2 are not Verizon but are for 9005 and they do work.
