I've flashed a T-mobile modem and using with the HSPA+ for awhile, however the Saurom ROM I'm using has some bugs like I can't reboot my phone properly and I sometimes lost signals, so my question is: if I want to flash my Note back to stock android, am I gonna lose the capability of using the HSPA+ which I'm using right now? Is there any ROM you would recommend that would be stable for the Note and still have the T-mobile modem enabled? Please give me an answer because I've been confused with this for awhile. God bless you all...
Question
Anybody? Please?
I'm using Saurom 7.1 and ICS theme on,Blaze modem and its been running great. It isn't as fast speedwise compared to my Amaze 4g but stable and fast.

You will probably have to reflash the tmo modem. But it might still be there as others have had non-stock modems that were still there even after flashing a stock tar file.

Best way to be sure would be to flash the stock radio. Though, it would be nice to know if using Odin will put EVERYTHING back to stock.
I'll bet the answer exists on the forum already but it's a good question, regardless.

Oops. Read the question wrong. So far as i know, once you flash a radio, it's there forever. Unless you flash a new one. Depending on how someone makes their ROM, this could change, but I'm betting that most of the devs aren't worried about forcibly making the people flashing their **** switch modems.

thanks for sharing. I've heard some infos about flashing back to stock could affect the radio, but I feel relieved when I saw this.
Dont worry about the modem in GB just flash it and it'll work
all ive heard is that the "ICS leak" doesnt play well with TMO modem
but idk to be honest
I have an issue where the spotty LTE in my area seemingly messes up all my connectivity (voice, sms, data). I am able to make emergency calls only at times. I am currently ruling out my SIM card, but a Bell employee pointed me in another direction; my LTE service. She told me that LTE is spotty in my area, and that the Note constantly switching from LTE to HSPA will eventually cause the Note to crap out, losing all connectivity. She said enabling HSPA/GSM only in the mobile networks settings fixes the problem. My ICS rom does not have this ability. I am using the HYFER OnlyOne rom right now.
By the searching I have done it seems that allowing HSPA but disabling LTE is common on GB roms (I know it was possible on my stock Bell rom).
Question: Are there ICS roms on here that will allow me to disable LTE data only? I would like one that has S-pen and S-Note support if possible.
You can disable Lte by going yo your phone dialer and dial *#2263#, click on WCDMA Band, then WCDMA All. This will give you HSPA data only. To switch back to LTe, click on Automatic, and reboot phone. This should work on all custom roms.
Thanks pterry. Will save that post fr when I need it.
Team Perfection has the option in their Objection rom (rc 3). Looks like I have two methods to do this now so its appreciated.
would be nice to have a simple toggle, like i had on sprint phones

CM9 has a toggle. Not sure if it works, though, as I don't have LTE in my area.
Will disabling LTE when not in a LTE area conserve battery?

I was too hasty as you noticed; there is an option to switch it, but if you reboot the phone it goes back to the auto-LTE mode.
Good in a pinch, but not the solution I was hoping for.
The dialer method gave me spotty data for some reason...I have reverted to the stock GB rom for now and enabled the auto gsm/hspa option to help troubleshoot.
What carrier are you with

When you disable lte in the keypad or dialer, do not use the back key, use the home button to get out of the dialer. I was reading somewhere in the forum this helps with poor internet connection.

This might be the issue. I was finding that it would still eventually connect to LTE anyways (possibly after a reboot).
I am in Ajax, a suburb of Toronto on Bell...signal is usually great here. I poorly worded my last post..I am not getting spotty HSPA reception, but my connectivity issue was intermittent.
The stock GB rom I have now has worked great for connectivity since I enabled SSM/HSPA only. I might do a nandroid and pop the perfection rom on again and try your suggestion as In liked that rom more than the GB one.
Thanks again!

Juts got the Perfection rom again. I had Hyfer as well, but I like the ICS theme and lock screen on the Perfection (I believe they both use the same modem).
Going to try the dialer method now on this rom. I never lost a data connection with the GB rom/gsm/hspa auto mode, so that is encouraging.
If you are an Att phone I dont believe there is any 100% surefire way to turn LTE off because those phones are RAT locked. I have been able to temporaruly turn if off like in the Saurom rom which was cool because I myself are in a bad LTE area. Then the problem become that when I actually used the phone to talk the battery would drop really fast. A 10 minute call would waste 5% of my battery. So i am just hoping that a better modem driver will increase my reception. I hope this helps a little.
if one is on straight talk does one have to disable LTE? Or is it off by default?
You could delete the LTE apn and just use one for 3G. There should be different apns for it

There is a note that the ICS dialer does not work with the *#2263# code. The stock dialer, however, does work.
Every time I reboot my phone, pull battery, flash new room my phone boots up with no service. I have to turn airplane mode on and off for phone to get service.
It doesn't do this with the ota or tmo stock. I've tried different roms as well and still no go.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there something I can do to fix?
Have you updated you SIM Card?

On stock it works fine. And anyways I downloaded .3 r2 ruu and just flashed that since I was running .3 (first version) which hadn't worked with any rom. Now after flashing stock energy rom for the first time it's working.
So not sure if its the new ruu version or stock energy or combination of both.
I'm gonna try speed rom since energy seems to drain quickly.
Q. If I try a Rom based on the previous ruu like the first version of .3 will my build/baseband version revert or will I keep my phone updated to latest revision or not. Because I'm happy with the r2 version

I've only used tmo and telus as a daily driver, I get great battery life, performance and no issues at all on telus, was a bit laggy on tmo, but it smoothed out, but the bloatware tugs on the battery and my nerves at times and the htclinkify fix doesn't fully fix the app associations thing that the US version of the firmware update the way it is without that feature at all with telus stock.
My i777 is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'm very excited, its my first Android. I've been researching custom firmware and stuff like that for about a month around the web. I just have no idea where to start. I believe my phone still has some form of 2.3 on it, but it could be the current 4.0.4 ICS.
From what I understand, I update the drivers on my computer with Kies, download Odin to root the device and then what? Or superoneclick? I'm interested in CM10 but I know the bugs are still being worked out. I need my camera, MMS, bluetooth, 3g data, at&t radios, mhl, Touchwiz toggles, all the functionality with no soft keys at the bottom. JB would be great if its possible. Other wise I might as well just update the phone to stock ICS and root it for other stuff I want like sixaxis and over/underclocking apps.
There is a reason we have stickies

There's things like KK 2.3.6, is that custom GB firmware? I know there is lots of information but no where to start.
pretty sure it would make more sense once you actually have the device in hand....seems pointless to create a new thread asking how to get started when you dont even have the device yet.
use it for at least a day or 2 before you start messing with custom ANYTHING
hell, dont even root it right away. just use it as is to get a feel for it, and verify there is nothing wrong with the hardware....if you just jump in and flash custom firmware, how will you ever know if an issue was hardware or firmware related?
Interesting, good point Pirateghost. I was wanting to put custom stuff on there while I had access to a computer this weekend. Might as well wait though. I'll have a laptop to mess with everything at my own pace by Black Friday anyway.
If it is still running GB, should I upgrade it to ICS, or would that hinder the root process when I want to do that?

The second part of your reply is absolutely spot on.
The first part i dont agree with a 100%.
I too plan to purchase the i777 model in the not too distant future, and its always a good thing to start reading early. Just like getting a feel of the stock rom/hardware is essential.. its always a good thing to read up well in advance. By the time a person is analyzing the h/w.. he is in a position to relate with other user's experiences.
I too was reading up all the stickies and really did got stuck up with the KK6 2.3.6 thing mentioned right at the start and no clue/legend being mentioned as to what it was. I googled a lot and many results had the same thing.. simply started using the terms w.o any hints.
It does gets confusing tbh you know
The thing is, I understand and know the stock hardware and firmware very well already. I have been using my girlfriend's GS2 from Sprint, the "Epic 4g Touch" since she got it in May. I've used it with GB and then ICS in August (I had to tell her to stop ignoring the notification, the update was a good thing!), but it will be good to evaluate the item to fully determine that everything is good with it.
It seems like in your first post, you steered yourself away from CM10, but everything you listed works except mhl I believe. And if you really want that, you will be able to dualboot into shostock once Siyah kernel gets updated.

Unfortunately theres no going back once excepting a OTA update. MDK is the only version with custom recovery. Hopefully Hash will crack a safestrap method but even if he does you'll probably still need a 4.3 Stock kernel. Have you tried a factory reset? Might solve your wifi issues.

Well there is root exploit, but no custom recovery. So flashing anything isn't possible ATM to even change radios. Also, Samsung is locking everything down with Knox making it more difficult. Hopefully a 4.4 stock leak will save us with bootloader hacks. Trying to be optimistic

No, unfortunately. The bootloader needs to be unlocked or exploited in some way for you to be able to get a custom recovery to flash something. No one's been able to crack the firmware for months now, much less 4.3 which just came out.

To keep them from upgrading you to an even later version that might not be vulnerable to whatever exploit they will eventually discover. (I have a PSP with a version that everyone said was unrootable yet here it is.. playing roms)

OP, you never said what the wifi issues actually are. A zillion people are on 4.3/MK7 and doing fine with everything.
People do that all the time here and in other forums in other aspects of life. They have a problem, think of the only solution they can imagine, then ask for help implementing it. A better question is can I get help/ideas to correct the original problem.
My apologies, your right. I went back and read my OP. I didn't say what my issues are.
Well, my employer privides an open WiFi for the office. The signal is not extremely strong but it's fair. Signal strength does dip up and down a little.
So while on 4.2, my phone stayed connected to the WiFi. Never disconnected. Once I upgraded to 4.3, it will not stay connected. It constantly drops the signal, scans, sees the signal but won't reconnect. I have to manually force it to connect.
As soon as I sit the phone down and it sleeps, it disconnects again and the process starts over.
The constant scanning is draining my battery fairly quickly.
