Like the thread says, I'm just wondering if after i unlock a Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE so that i can use it on my network, if it'll downgrade to HSPA+ or keep the 4G LTE
Nothing will change unless you flash a radio that does not support lte but even then you could just flash the stock radio again.

Do a speed test ... if you see 32Mb download then you are on LTE, HSPA mode will hover around 6Mb.

Dude,
It works very well! I have the AT&T Note... I unlocked it ($25 on ebay, I prefer this method as the seller has a reputation to protect). I then had it rooted, then flashed over to T-Mobile (http://rootgalaxynote.com/).
I did a test on the $30 - 1,500 minute plan (only 30 megs of data) to see how it works. I did this before flashing the modem and the 2G/Edge doesn't work well at all for the Note. However, after flashing the modem, it screams on TMO's 4G.
Good luck to you, but flash it and don't look back!

But just as a heads up, the exynos chip in the international version is not LTE equipped. So, if you get the international model it won't work on Tmobile's 4g bands even if you flash/hack/pray to the cell gods or anything else to your phone.

I'm not totally sure but, I believe if you get the international it will work on tmobile's hspa+. You shouldn't have to get the AT&T version if you just want to use the phone on tmobile and, are ok without LTE. Hspa+ is still very fast.

T-Mobile doesn't even have LTE so it doesn't make a difference.
The AT&T Note is the only one that works with T-Mobile 4G which again, is not LTE.
Also, no the international version does NOT get T-Mobile hspa +.
The international version ONLY gets EDGE on T-Mobile.

Edit:i have the E4GT on sprint...so i'm not really familiar with the gsm models...
While I should say use the search bar, all the information I've found is pretty outdated regarding this.
The simple answer is that you probably can't get it to work, at least not 3G/4G, if Edge is fine then you can unlock the phone with "Galaxy S Unlock" in the play store, just follow the directions listed, it's pretty simple.
The extended answer:
You might be able to depending on where you are. T-Mobile generally uses the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands for 3G/4G, but the i777 doesn't use the 1700 MHz bands, instead it can use either 850, 1900, 2100 MHz bands for 3G/4G. However in preparation for LTE and just to increase bandwidth across 3G/4G they are starting to take some of their 1900 MHz spectrum from their edge networks and move it to 3G/4G/LTE. This has just started happening very recently and is currently in very few markets, however you may be in one of those, it is still expanding if you aren't but it may take a while. The only way you could know is if you took a T-Mobile sim card and put it in an unlocked i777 and if you get 3G/4G then you are good, otherwise you are stuck with Edge.

The S2 for ATT doesn't support 3g for T mobile and vice versa. There could be some weird instance as mentioned above where it could work but in most cases it won't.

Mostly true, T-Mobile's S2 should work with AT&T's network, you may have to flash a new radio but theoretically it should work.
You cannot port a T-Mobile ROM because T-Mobile does not have a similar gs2. The T-Mobile gs2 is the twin brother to the skyrocket

Refer to topic. So Tmobile recently launched LTE in my area yesterday. I was wondering if there's a way to enable their network on my ATT note. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

What radio & rom are you using?
This phone is almost two years old but you are the first person to wonder if the at&t note can work on tmobile's frequncies.
Just in case I'm wrong about you being the first one to wonder, why not try a google search?
I'll bet there's 2,000 responses.

Yes, there is. You have to be on an AT&T Rom, Carrier Unlock your I717, Use T-Mobile Sim Card, Apply T-Mobile LTE APN Settings. I think that's it in a nutshell.

Don't forget to get LTE on tmobile you must use an ATT Radio.
UCLF6 for ICS
UCMB4 or UCMD3 for JB.
Rom type doesn't matter, just radio, apn, and being in a LTE area, i717 unlocked as well.

Being as this phone is from ATT, no it wouldn't need to be unlocked to use an ATT sim.
Unlock is needed for tmobile phone/data to work on the i717.

If your trying to unlock using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37357905 then yes flashing the tmobile modem is fine.
When it is unlocked, you can flash any radio found for the i717 in recovery and it only changes the radio.
So follow the guide to sim unlock for free. Then reflash only the radios I mentioned before. You should then have your ATT I717 unlocked for tmobile if you change out the sim card.
This won't do anything besides allow a tmobile sim card with functioning calls/data.
If you don't need this, then try a newer ATT radio that I previously detailed a few posts back.
Hello all,
I have an att one that I've sim unlocked to use with tmobile. Now I want it to run like a tmobile phone. Would I have to unlock bootloader from HTCdev then flash cwm then flash a rooted stock rom? Now what about flashing a tmobile radio? Can I just flash that on top for it to be better optimized for tmobile frequency? And when should I S-Off through this whole process? Thanks for all the help

Got what? No one has yet gotten the AWS frequencies on their non T-mobile phone. What exactly did you have as results?
The ATT model by default only gets the HSPA 1900 band or LTE on T-Mobile (plus edge, of course). What it is missing is the high speed 4G T-Mobile only AWS band.
EDIT: One does not need to flash TMO to use the phone on 1900 or LTE.

Yes you need to change your modem or else you you will be stuck using roaming on the 2G frequencies. I recommend the Blaze 4G UVMB1 modem on this page:

Refarmed are means tmobile is using same frequencies and towers as at&t, so the stock modem will work fine. Just input APN settings and go!
