Hi,
First post on XDA so bare with me on this.
Have flashed my TELUS Note 717D with a few different ROM's over the last few days. With the news that Sammy will be pushing out official ICS in the next week or so I am trying to get my Note A$S back to stock including the correct radio file.
This is where I have come unstuck. I have all the correct files but for some reason I can't get my LTE back. Yes it was working prior to my loading new ROM's and also after I went testing. Had the soft bricking issue yesterday & managed to get that resolved but since then no LTE nada.
Loaded the full TELUS recovery (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440 ) and then the TELUS kernel.
Still no LTE. I have the GB & ICS radio files & now can’t get the recover to load any zip files as I get a error at the first screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
I went thru this yesterday... i
I flashed the ATT stock rom/system from these boards, then downloaded the three part Telus file..when assembled its about 1 Gb...
After flashing ATT, I cleared dalvik, flashed the Telus stock.. Then i did a factory reset, and i was back.
I'm still running a non stock modem file.. But all is functioning.

getting LTE now?
Everything is working but the lack of LTE is missing.
I am in downtown Vancouver & out address has a in building LTE system so coverage is not a problem.
Can you confiem that you have LTE? do you have the isp.telus.com apn too?
Mike
still having issues
I can flash the AT&T ROM with no problems using odin. when I reboot into recovery I am getting a error that wont allow me to use the power button and select the reset option.
The power button works because I can press and hold to reboot the phone but the white triangle with ! mark is in the moddle of the screen. With out that I am unable to do the resetting & clearing of the cache.
Any thoughts?

Yeah.. Unfortunately my skillset definitely into the "knows just enough to be dangerous" category..
What 'recovery' is currently in the phone? Stock recovery? A CWM type recovery? I ask because I had an issue once previously where the power button wouldn't let me select items.. but I was able to use one of the four soft buttons on the bottom front of the phone to execute the same command. Once it was the 'home' button.. on my current recovery software it's the search button oddly enough.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
Do you get the Band preference menu?
What's selected? What happens if you pick 4 (LTE) and then 7 (LTE ALL) ?
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Lastly -- in the SETTINGS / WIRELESS & NETWORK / MOBILE NETWORKS menu.. do you have "NETWORK MODE" menu item that the stock Canadian i717 device has the AT&T device does not?
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?

I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed which works but wont let me installed the radio file. Bombs out with errors.
When I flash the TELUS stock GB Kernel, I get the standard recovery which wont even let me see the radio file.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
I thought this was a At&t thing only? But that said I did try to the number and got a recorded annc saying that is was not a valid number.
Do you get the Band preference menu?
Yes I have the correct options and its set to use all the HSPA types & LTE too.
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Yes I did the reset to factory in CWM after the At&t ROM flash and after I loaded the TELUS ROM too. I did had to load a different kernel to allow the CWM recovery but then installed the TELUS stock kernel after.
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?

Well, I have the same CWM .. I can't flash any of the supposedly flashable CWM modem files.. errors out part way thru. Weird.
I'm uploading my Telus Stock image that I used to Google drive.. I'll pm you the link once its up.
Sent you the links.
Also -- I managed to get the Bell Radio CWM file loaded on my Telus device from the thread located in this forum. (STOCK BELL thread)
There is now a Rogers stock thread and hopefully they'll have a Telus thread that will have a modem file that loads as well as the Bell one did. I can't imagine the differences are that great.
success
we have LTE!!!
Huge thanks for your help here. Flashing the BELL LTE radio file has now enabled the LTE in my telus note.
A little embarrassing as I work at telus but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
XDA Dev site is the best for anything Andriod.

Yay!... See? Occasionally the blond leading the blind .. something good can come from it!
Plus I managed to get my modem back to stock as well .. I was using that T769 modem that was tweaked for Note use.. and all the Telus CWM modem files I would try to flash in ...just errored out.
I talk to Rogers and apparently there's the 401 sim that's not lte capable. They told me to go back to the store to get the 403 sim with lte capable, maybe that should help fix the problem. I'll give an update tmr once I get the new sim.
Does anyone know where I can find the Rogers radio or modem file? I found the radio but it says installation aborted when I try to flash CWM. I flash the Rogers modem file and the log shows me a installation success but it's i717M which is Bell, not Rogers. Can anyone give me a proper Rogers working link? also, apparently Radio and Modem is the same thing, it's just people playing with words, or I'm I getting it wrong? Thank you.

Here is the link to the Rogers Modem, http://www.mediafire.com/?ol9yzmmjx8uayh5
you can always flash your modem using adb to push the back to the phone just follow this thread

Thanks guys. I'll stick with the .zip files to flash in CWM for now as I'm not comfortable with adb yet. One missing letter and it can fail to boot or whatever...

I have a quick question because I've run into a problem I can't seem to fix.
First, so everyone knows what I'm dealing with:
Phone: i717
Changes: Rooted (Shows super user access), CWM v5.5.0.4, Unlocked (Tested)
Rom: Stock AT&T Rom
Sim Card: Works in a T-mo branded Exhibit II 4G.
I flashed a radio (tried KID, 0331122 from the radio thread in the dev section, and reflashed the original AT&T radio).Even w/ the original radio installed, it cannot seem my T-Mo sim now.
Do I need to flash a new Rom or what? Wipe data to factory reset?
I would rather not change anything w/o asking since flashing radios seems to be a straight forward thing that most ppl have done w/o touching the rom.
Thanks ahead of time.
Mine worked with a rooted stock rom at first it didnt see the sim then i tried searching the network under wireless and networks it took a few minutes but then it came up.

don't forget if you are running an ICS based ROM you need an ICS based Radio/modem.
EDIT: i see you're running the original GB rom so you need the GB radio.
give it a few minutes to find a signal or go to settings/mobile networks/network operators. choose manual. then let it search a few minutes. then select t-mobile.
I find the Blaze 4G radio worked best for me, but depending on your area, your results may differ. try em all.
You guys are insanely fast.
I'm currently on the stock radio & I'm still getting the same message after letting the sim sit in the phone for 9 minutes (yes, I watched the clock, lol):
Insert SIM card to access network services

Where should I go from here?
Edit: Is the answer flashing another rom? Maybe something has become corrupt? I don't see how as I've read & re-read walk thrus for doing this to make sure.
I've done a little more reading. Flashing the beta ICS rom flashes to the old AT&T modem.
Would this be the best bet?
Edit: After looking through the "about" phone...
I'm on 4.0.3
Baseband: Unknown............. that's really bad.
Edit 2:
After reading, I needed to back up the EFS. No where is this stated anywhere, unfortunately. That contains IMEI and everything else.
Edit:
So, after reading MORE, the IMEI number is on a sticker behind the battery, along w/ the S/N.
Huh? Efs? I dont even know what that is nevermind backing it up. Goto clockworkmod and flash the radio.zip and reboot. Thats all there is to it.

If you look up EMEI number related to flashing the radio, there's a lot of hits.
XDA has a thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352371
I'm quite shocked it's not mentioned everywhere as this happens to people now and again.
I have my IMEI number, i just don't know how to input it into the phone.
As for flashing the radio, I've flashed 2, then back to the original. To no avail.
Sorry never had anything like that. I would almost odin back to stock and start over. You dont need root for the sim to work on calls and edge with tmobile.

If you're baseband is unknown don't worry just flash a stock at&t modem and it should go back to normal. Your imei is under a different menu in about phone..the status one.
Also its no ones responsibility to tell you that modifying your phone may break it.

I did flash back to the stock AT&T baseband as stated in the original post.
If I go to About Phone, the Baseband Version is unknown.
If I go to Status, the following are listed as
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network: Unknown
Service State: Out of service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
I've backed up the EFS that I have no just so it doesn't degrade further. I'll try to flash again and see, but I still think the EFS is borked.
I'll see what I can, but I think I'll the EFS is borked beyond flashing it to normal.
My point about the EFS back up is that most ppl here don't seem to know what it is. It shouldn't be that foreign of a topic since flashing a radio is obviously problematic for some. I've seen other posts concerning no IMEI after flashing radios on forums other than XDA. It's odd that it's not mentioned as a sticky everywhere.
Backing up EFS would solve a lot of head aches from unlocking / radio flashing woes. I'm hoping this info will save a few people a lot of time and money.
After more digging, I came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646326
Synopsis: Basically, he followed the same guide I did. The only difference is that I flashed the radio while using a stock AT&T rom. Once he flashed back to GB (saurom), he gained back his baseband / IMEI.
This is what I cannot figure out:
CWM will see and flash any radio file I push to my note. If I push a stock AT&T rom, it won't see it. If I put the rom in it's own folder, it seems the rom, but states there's no files.
Is CWM corrupted? Why would it only read firmware to flash radios, but not android roms? Should I just go back and install CWM?
I've searched all over & used google, but I can't find a thread discussing this.
Fixed.
This problem has nothing to do with any of the radios corrupting the EFS folder. Albeit, it's always a good idea to back it up.
Flashing back to AT&Ts stock rom (2.3.6 or 4.0.3) never fix the issue. You will always be stuck w/o a radio, at least from what I've seen. Even flashing back to the stock radio fails. I don't know if it changes the EFS, but AT&T's rom does not like it and shows no IMEI & a bogus SN .
I had to go back, flash to saurom and a compatible GB (or beta T-mobile) radio to get te work fine. ICS radios work fine on ICS.
Saurom and GB radios dont work in my i 717 trying to connect to wind. I got a CM 9 ICS build and ive tired a bunch of radios. they all failed. i keep getting no sim errors. I can see the operator but when i select it it times out and says it cannot connect to the network at this time. it also says interset sim. Im positive it is unlocked.
Modems(radios) or basebands should have nothing to do with whatever rom you are running. Whether they are GB, ICS, or JB modems, they should all work to a degree, at least for phone call ability. I have flashed many different radios trying to get the best function of my att note on t-mo. The best I got was using the Blaze modem. That got me 3g hspa.
The worst will be just giving you edge speed. My note is unlocked and has been on JB running blaze ICS modem working fine. Maybe you need to start over, evaluate what you have, and go from there. There are great threads on att over t-mobile. Good luck.
I picked my rom, and started flashing 5 or 6 radios, and found what one worked best on t-mo.
Presently, I have switched back to att- sort of- straight talk. I'm not thrilled with the speeds. No higher than 4 mbps DL, and 1-1.5 UL. Thinking about going back to t-mo and dealing with the slow UL speeds. I'm on an ICS rom with the ucle6 modem.
Also, flashing a rom does not change your modem. You have to physically reflash the modem you want. Some modems show up as unknown under the baseband. Blaze is one of them.
Another thought- sometimes a reboot will get your sim recognized by your phone.

This is yet another case of the "no sim" bug ....
Damn I wish we could find the answer to this issue, but none exist .....and for some users the return to complete stock even fails to recover service ..

Really what an incredible unlucky glitch.I got my note for only 360CDN good condition but missing the stylus, even still it was a good buy. I'm on Wind mobile, T-mobile here in Canada. I even gave it to somebody who's done a bunch and they ran into the no sim problem. I guess I'll be going back to my HTC HD2 and sell the note .
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
So just to confirm I have followed the process correctly over 20 times and no matter which cm9 cm10 based rom and any ics or gb based radio will allow connection or recognize the sim to the 1700 aws network. With a cm9 based rom I can see my network, but it will not allow connection like the phone is locked, even though i have unlocked and tested the phone on other networks.

Yes, I have the same 'No SIM' issue with a working WIND SIM. I've tried everything, multiple Radios, multiple ROMs. Very strange problem. I wish we had the tools that the SGSIII has for dumping and restoring the NV ram. Even stranger, I do have a the correct IMEI number in Phone, About. I have a feeling it's something to do with how the phones were carrier unlocked.

It has nothing to do with your unlock. If you've followed the steps and are still having no sim issue you may have to get a new 32k sim card from wind the older ones won't connect in a phone with lte

I have the same problem with "NO SIM." One day i flashed so many things to my phone and one time i turned it on i got ATT on the top right corner and everything was good. I made some phone calls and texts and even browsed the web. I restarted the phone to check if it was just a fluke and it was. Ever since then i cannot get it to read my phone, but i know for sure the hardware works.
Hi everyone.
I have a ATT galaxy note unlocked i717. I have the hybrid rom ICS installed with CWM.

After i flashed it i have no signal at all. The phone doesnt show the IMEI, baseband version or anything at all. Please help me out. if you guys need any more information let me know. Thanks in advance!
a little update here. I tried to flash back to android GB 2.3 rom (saurom). I was able to get the imei and baseband back but still no signal.
Losing your radio is not a "brick". Just restore to stock and start over. Or perhaps you have backups to revert to?

BASICALLY THE ROM YOU FLASHED PROBABLY HAD A DEFECTIVE RADIO....FIND ANOTHER RADIO ZIP FILE THAT WORKS WELL FOR YOUR PHONE AND FLASH THAT ZIP FILE....IF YOU'RE COMING FROM AT&T AND WANT TO USE TMOBILE 4G, FLASH ICSBLAZE.ZIP....IT WORKED FOR ME....OR IF ALL FAILS...USE THE KIES METHOD BELOW
To get to download mode when hooked up to Kies: hold down volume down and power at the same time until download mode comes up. And push volume up button once download screen comes up. Hook the phone up to Samsung Kies and click "Tools" and click "Firmware upgrade and initialization".....enter model using caps "SGH-I717" and enter ok....and enter serial number...using caps....and sit tight and wait...it'll be like the phone you get straight out of the box....all working and non-rooted....
It seems we have two more cases of T-Mobile conversion failures ...
With one device being restored ....and the other in process ...
I'm tracking these issues , as it seems that the current methods are jamming users up a bit...
If the two of you wouldn't mind, could you place your methods you used in my thread ?
I'm gathering as much information as possible regarding the I717 being used on T-Mobile, and your information would help immensely...
I'll post the link in case you decide to post ...

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?

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.

Possibly. Something could have been corrupted in the process. If it still does it on stock go to Verizon and complain.
i flashed back to stock and my download speed is 800 and upload is 85. it shows I have a 4g signal and the system status shows that my signal is -102 or -98.
anyone else have any ideas?
So things ive tried:
1. new sim.
2. back to stock touchwiz through odin
3. flash stock modem through odin and stock kernel
4. doing the whole process to root and stuff manually, then installed a customer recovery manually and then flashed a new rom, still no results
are we going to call this hardware failure? or is there any other reset type thing i can do

Most likely Hardware issue since all the steps have been tried. Unless it's only in your area. Have you tried to go somewhere else on a different tower?
yes i have. my s3 does not have any issues here, so that i why im guessing its the phone
I have a Verizon i605 that I've been using since around Christmas. I have decided to go to ATT go phone or straight talk, but I can't get the phone to accept a GSM sim card of any kind. Ive tried an H20 sim, 2 different GoPhone sims and a straight talk (att) sim. In all cases the phone will give the NON-Verizon sim error and not allow any calls. I've tried flashing different ROMs and no changes have taken place. I have also tried flashing the radio to no avail. I've searched all night in the forums and have come up empty. Seems like im the only one who cant get any response from the phone in GSM. For the record, the phone is rooted and unlocked, Ive tried GSM only and global modes, I can sometimes get the phone to show signal but get a "phone is not registered" error when trying to dial out. Replacing my Verizon sim results in full working use. Does anybody know anything else I can try? I'm working on downloading VRAMC3 to flash in Heimdall but thought I would reach out before losing my root/unlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Add in the APN info and you should be good. The non verizon sim error is normal unless you remove files that make that happen.
Either flash a ROM that has the AT&T APN info like JellyBeans 21 or...
Check out one of my old posts about the AT&T APN info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42953285&postcount=4
I will try to keep an eye on this thread and help out if you need further assistance, good luck.
correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt you lose lte because of the different frequencies?

Ive tried beans 21 and cleanrom 5.0. Ive gitten some network respinse from flashing cleanrom as if it is a n7100 but that is when I get the cannot register on the network errors. It will show a signal from at&t at that point. Im currently downloading the odin file but will have to use heimdall fir the first time to flash it because im now running osx. Hopefully it will work. I dow however think that my problem may be kernel related as I cant get the phone to charge past about 50%. Ive tried flashing beans using several variants of the kernel and havent had luck there either.
Now I can't get Heimdall to recognize the PIT that I'm pulling from my own device or load the odin file I've downloaded. Should the Odin file be in zip format? How do I make it an MD5 file for heimdall?
I am in the exact same situation as you. I have a VZW Note 2 and went to AT&T on a GoPhone plan.
When I first set it up I took my phone in with JellyBeans 18 on it and the manager at the store put my sim in and activated it and set up all my APN info. Try doing that, install any ROM (full data wipe and format) that you know works 100% with AT&T (including kernel) and just have them set it up for you. if it then don't work, you might be looking at a hardware problem with your GSM radio maybe?
All is good. Apparently the sim I was trying to use had a data block on it and the GN2 WILL NOT work with a phone with a data block. I borrowed a friends ST sim and it worked fine. I stressed an entire day over this. Thanks to those who helped. If anybody knows though, I took no OTA update EVER on this phone, can I ODIN (Heimdall) back to VRALJ with no problems? It's the only tar.md5 file i can seem to locate.
