my mother just bought a rooted at&t galaxy note i717 from a friend and it is carrier unlocked. i have experience with flashing/rooting but i just wanted to ask the community before i do anything wrong... can i flash an at&t custom rom and a t-mobile radio?? are they interchangeable?? anyone have any good rom/radio combinations that work well?
it seems like this thread has a decent radio for the moment but the download links are down:

thanks in advance..
I recommend using the flappjaxxx UCLF6 build 4.
And the T-Mobile radio ..
This device is very new , and development is just starting . Some users are reporting call quality issues, but most are running well on that combination ...g

Back in the pre-pudding days, flashing an AT&T radio on an International Atrix was a bad idea. Now that our bootloaders are unlocked, is that still the case? Is the worst that can happen a soft brick, or are there harder bricks waiting to happen?
It's safe to fastboot protocol with RSDlite. I did it the other day tryng a newer radio sbf. Worked fine. The problem from what I've been reading is downgrading to a previous version after updating with OTA.

im using at&t radio cwm flashable on a custom at&t 2.3.4 rom now with ram-fix kernel on my asia retail model (international). works fine so far. or if you don't want at&t radio you can try bell's latest radio as well. both works fine for at&t rom. for me at least.
you can download here att radio or bell radio
Hi Pennzoilgtr
Can you tell us exactly what rom - radio etc you are using and links to them if possible?
I have an international and find that custom roms are hard to find as most are for AT&T.
Thanks

i tried Alien by kp and nCrust both works.. for radio as long as you use AT&T rom, you need to flash att or bell radio in order to work properly.. att radio.
and flash this unified international o/c kernel with ram-fix all CWM friendly. works perfect with my asian atrix.
Thank you pennzoilgtr. will try cherry now...
At the thread everyone keeps linking for stock ROMs, http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 there are NO US stock ROM's, let alone for my carrier, T-Mobile.
What's up with that?
Also, when I try to dial the *#1234# it from that post, my phone says Unable to Process Request, so I can't do that to help find the right ROM.
None of the US carriers use the original I9100 hardware, so they have their own ROMs and their own forums. For example, the Galaxy S 4G forums are for T-Mobile USA's variant of the Galaxy S II; you should be able to find ROMs there that will work on that device.
Got it thanks!
Hi,
I have just purchased a Galaxy Note with LTE. Its a relatively new model here an it carries the model no. Samsung GT-N7005.
My Million $$ question is, I have read from the N7000 thread that this is the same as I717 in terms of rooting and flashing of roms..
Anyone can confirm? Thanks lots in advance.
From Singapore.

Yes, they are similar but don't dare flash a ROM for the international note N7000 on the i717
Well.. I read it here.

Use caution ....
And you may have baseband issues that cannot be corrected later ...
Root and flash at own risk, as there is no current support from the I717 side of the house ....g
Yeah.. thats why I asked first..
Initially I was reading up on the N7000 and then at the shop I saw this "newer" model and heck it comes with LTE. So, bam! I bought it, and it was cheaper...
Then the thought of rooting and flashing came to me.. <facepalm>
My shop doesnt come with a refund policy either..
Dare to try out a N7005 stock rom in i717. Not rooted. Able to flash all the way to the modem, where it fails. Reboot and reset, and now I have a functioning Hong Kong version of i717 with baseband still a I717UCLF6. Everything seems to work except update, and seems like HK version doesn't have NFC.
Put pta back to APN and it registered as "4G". Checked with status and it says "LTE: 14". Phone seems to be much faster and tethering seems to work too (at least I can turn on, but haven't tried other things).
Hello there,
I've tried a search to see if anyone has had any success flashing CM10 onto a UK T-Mobile I9300 and can only find one guy who had issues with radio on it a few months back. Is the fact my phone is locked to T-Mobile going to cause me issues? Has anyone else flashed a UK T-Mobile I9300 successfully?
Thanks
I haven't flashed CM10 exactly, but I've been using a different ROM on my T-mobile phone without any problems.
Ah right thanks, should be ok then. Are you on T-Mobile contract?
Yep
Will work!
Flashed couple ROMS (CM10 too) to SGS3's (TMo, VF, O2).
No Problem at all
Happy flashing!
1st post here so hope this is the right place to ask this and please be gentle
I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, running stock 4.3, I9300XXUGMK6
I want to install a custom OS on my S3. The phone is almost out of contract, 3 years old and is running really slowly on the stock rom with awful battery life (I have tried a new battery). I previously rooted and installed custom roms (cyanogenmod, slimkat) on an old i9000 and was blown away by the massive improvement in speed and battery life. If I get the same benefits with the i9300 then I will keep this phone and go sim-only rather than getting a new phone. The i9000 was unlocked...I guess I need to check the i9300 is too?
As far as I can tell I need to root using Odin 1.07 and Philz Touch recovery. However, I am confused about what version of S3 Virgin UK provide- I have found guides on how to root and install custom roms on Virgin S3's but they refer to models such as Sprint or SPH-L710- I'm not sure what I have, how to check or how this differs US to UK. I have searched on here and more widely and cannot find an answer to this.
Recommendations on what custom OS to install also welcomed
If it says i9300 under the battery then it it's the standard international model, you can flash anything from this forum. Carrier firmware usually add bloat and modem, you won't miss anything from it.
Unlock is by paid for code, don't try to do it free as that usually ends up with a brick, unless virgin supply unlocked handsets.
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky thread on how to flash custom recovery then custom rom. Root isn't needed if you are going to custom rom, they all come rooted.
