i just bought an at&t galaxy note earlier today and i was wondering what rom or radio do i need to download. its not my first time doing this but i want to be extra careful.
WHAT I DESIRE
i would love to have t-mobile apps on my note as well as t-mobile 4g lte or whatever its called.
Wifi calling if possible and other t-mobile features.
If i install a t-mobile rom to this unlocked phone will it brick it?( i wouldnt even know what rom to install)
I would like a rom that everything works, (gps,mms,sms,4g, and wifi)
Can anyone help please? ive already rooted the phone as well as installed cwm 5. i came from galaxy epic 4g touch (sprint) so im used to having to odin to el26/el29 then going to ics, Is it the same method for this phone?
Take a good look in the "note everything thread "
It is at the top of the general section as a sticky.
Nearly every rom available is there, along with all modem links etc.
Picking a rom is really personal preference, but having them all in one location, will help you to make a good choice.
Please read the individual rom threads carefully, as a few of them are tricky ...g

Here it is ...
Each rom thread should be reviewed thoroughly before flashing anything ...IMHO
And each rom has a QA thread for the most part.
Happy reading ...g
thanks

Bought the T-mobile galaxy tab 10.1 4g. I am interested in rooting the device so that I can remove unwanted bloatware. I am somewhat concerned by the absence of any comment on the device. I have one week to return it. Should I? Seems that not one single person has an interest in tweaking this device. I thought that this site would have root instructions on line within hours of the November release. I am concerned that it has not. It has version 3.2. Please advise. Thanks.
I too an anxiously awaiting some coverage on this... love the tablet, but dont willing to risk experimenting with it w/o more experience recovering devices.
The largest number of people here by far have Wi-Fi Tabs (P7510) followed by 3G Tabs (P7500). I'd guess about 15-25% have VZW LTE Tabs. Support for the latter dev wise and even from VZW has been pretty light. The good news is the T-Mobile Tab isn't 4G, but 3G HSPA+, the same as the international P7500. The only difference is it supports T-Mobile's funky AWS bands. Depending on how similar it is to the P7500, you may be able to use its ROMs. Post in the dev section and see if one of the P7500 dev's can help figure it out.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Has anyone flashed a rom on the t-mobile g tab yet? About to get one of these and want to make sure I'll be able to get ICS on it.
you can run my custom kernel on this device.
_tmo in the filename.

Stock recovery?
Question:
Any of you who have rooted found/have a copy of the stock recovery in case I need to return or resale? I've been searching for a while and can't figure which one is the one for the US TMO variant.
TIA

Looks like there is plenty of them, particularly international versions. Model seems to me that is 7500. However, I'm not flashing anything until I find the stock restore for Recovery - my previous post.
(Woops... just realized I flashed CWM Recovery last night in order to root so I could unlock radio . So much for being careful grrr)
Has anyone tried any of the available ROMs?

Hello All,
Back in April I flashed my phone with the only (at the time) SMB? for bell, . I used a guide to get my phone to build number OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 - GreyBlurred.
I find updating Android so confusing - iPhone was a lot easier :\ but Android rox so here i am.
I've been all over trying different methods to update my phone with no avail. At this point, I don't even care if i lose my app data.
What is the best OS i should run on my Bell Atrix, and how can I do it? Any forum links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There you are, everything you need from start to finish.
Make sure you read and understand every line.
After you flash your first rom with those instructions, and feel comfortable with flashing, I suggest you try out both cm7 and miui. Cm7 is original looking android with tons of new features and settings. Miui is a sexy slick looking rom with tons of new features. It's kind of like IOS. But still holds true to android customizability. The procedure is the same with all roms in the first thread i linked, but once you've done all of those things once, you can skip down to "Installing a Custom Rom". No need to re-unlock your bootloader and re-install custom recovery.

Feel free to ask any questions/pm, but this should technically be in the Q&A forum.

Remember. Always backup!
Well first off make sure you have Clockwork Recovery installed on your phone.
(you have to be bootloader unlocked for the full recovery to be installed) If you haven't unlocked the bootloader, make sure you go to the development forum and read up on how to do that using the "international pudding"
Once you have clockwork recovery installed, head on over to this thread and download the gobstopper that you'd like... I would go for the 2.3.6 updated one.
This is a bone stock bell rom, and its the EASIEST way to get back to stock bell.
Thanks guys! CM was a waste of time since I'm on an Atrix... I dont know if that rom is made for the Atrix - it doesn't say so on the site. Now running GB 2.3.6 Thanks a bunch!
Olympus is atrix's codename in cm. It is made for the atrix.
But glad to hear you're running gb!
Wow Bell_GB_2.3.6 has amazing battery life. 3x better than before! Yippeee
Hi,
I have purchased an International S3 and am going to use it on AT&T. I have read through the forums and feel pretty confident about rooting my phone. My question(s) is:
1. Do I need to flash a new ROM to make the most out of AT&T's network, or will the stock ROM work just fine?
2. If its recommended to use a custom ROM which should I use for best compatibility with AT&T? If I must use custom I would like one as close to stock as possible.
Thank you for any/all replies.
Noob-Tard
bumping for great justice!
Anyone?
If this has been cover already please post a link to that thread.
ATT OMEGA 7.0 phone won't turn on anymore
I tried to load Omega 7.0 on my ATT S3 and everything went well until the reboot part. The screen went black and my phone isn't able to turn on now. Any advise would be great. Thanks
Sounds like you have the US version
Sounds like you have the US version, I have the international version but thanks for the info either way.
Anyone have any advice for the best radio for use on AT&T on the I9300? I'm on the latest official stock build taking only OTAs so far, but my signal strength seems worse on this phone than others I've used in the past. (Figured I'd check before I start flashing/testing for a few days)
thread closed. choosing roms is a personal thing. what is best for one person (and phone) may not be best for someone else. the best advice is to try a few.
Hey there, guys! First off, yes I am a noob with this kind of stuff, so I apologize 1000 times in advance. Secondly, I have searched, but to no avail (and my great confusion!) for this, but have found nothing. I have a SGH-i717D, Canadian Telus variant of the Galaxy Note. I rooted it, and all went well. Having said that, I didn't flash any custom ROMs (after attempting a stable version of CM9.1 which sent my phone into a boot loop), and decided to unroot my phone and now I currently have it with what I assume is stock Telus 4.0.4 ICS firmware. I was wondering if anyone had a flashable .tar of the Telus ICS 4.0.4 Kernel?

Thanks for the links, but I'm a little confused. Will the modem and radio reset my kernel? Currently my LTE and everything else works fine (though my phone does tend to freeze now after I send a text sometimes :/). For reference, here's what my phone says under About Phone. I would like to get everything here back to Telus' stock ICS.
Sorry for the bump, but it now seems that my phone will sometimes send the same messages multiple times. Last night my cousin reported getting the same two texts 5 times each, which is something my phone never did before. My phone's APN settings are still the default Telus ones, so I'm not sure what it could be. Could this be a result of anything I did (namely rooting the phone and installing CWM before unrooting)?
Hi, I am opening this sub-forum for N7005 variant as its a closer relative to I717 than the international N7000 note.
So far, as read and tried from other earlier posts, I managed to root, flash CWM, flash TWRP and flashing of various roms from this I717 Forum without any issue, yet. No changing of modems. So far, no issue with basebands so 4g still works great.
Roms I have tried, the original Paranoid Android and the Cookies & Cream. Both are great roms.
Hope that the Mod dun close me down on here.
Cheers!

Are you trying to say that you had use the same firmware to root your lte note using i717?
yup..
Followed this method.. TWRP same as I717.

Original thread that I read was from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876490&page=2
This is a good thread. I have been trying to find the N7005 all over google and got very a little and mostly, 'irrelevant' results. I believe the note LTE might be a different from the N7000.
Would also like to know if you already have successfully installed the I717 custom ROM on your N7005?
Yes.
I am starting to believe ours have the exact same hardware as I717. It just carry a different model no because of the different baseband.
I have tried ( and successfully flashed ) the original Panaroid Android, the Cookies & Cream, Unofficial CM10 and Liquid Jelly. and also a kernel ( cant remember the name..) All worked well apart from issues with the standard bugs from the current developement of Jellybean. Just be careful not to touch the modem.
There is one little problem though.. I cant really find a convienent way for ours to flash back to stock or remove root if I ever need to send back for official servicing. The only solutions on the web suggest flashing US Carriers specific roms , which does not apply for us.
Well actually, there is a way to go back to official stock.. 2 day ago there was a minor update from samsung. so I flashed and it remove the root. And my firmware now read, Official Samsung.
I haven tried flashing again as I felt that though all the developers are working very very hard for JB and I do really appreciate the efforts , imo its not that stable yet.
Its pretty safe, I tried and they worked. BUT, PLS DO A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK ROM!! Need any more info, I can share.
Disclamer: I will not be responsible for any kind of damage, bricked or blow ups...
And, U have to understand that if things goes wrong during flashing or any weird errors appears later, the developers are not oblige/not able to help as the I717 stuffs just " happen to work " on our device.

I'm currently still stuck with my SGS, looking at N7005 when my contract expires. You said don't touch the modem, why is that the case? From my understanding you can just flash the baseband back on my SGS, is there an issue if you flash another modem on the N7005? Region issue?
The SGS have great international and local support. Any resources are readily available.
I717 is pretty much confined to the US. Their modems are specific to their baseband's bandwidth. There is no such modem in our region that u can safely flash that is guaranteed to work with our carrier. I know HK they have a forum for N7005 but its all in chinese. I am not too good in that. And, I dun see any real needs to flash the modem as well.
BTW, for local users that have a habit of flashing roms, I wouldnt recommend this model at all. The device is great but zero local support. I have even checked with Official Samsung Singapore and they dun even know if N7005 is getting JB but Original Note N7000 will be and the Note 2 will launch with JB. Go for more sensible options my brother...
I bought this purely because it was cheaper that time. And I traded in my nexus so this phone was basically free.. Then later I realise I will have the flashing "issues"..

I did look at the original note and S3, but what I wanted was larger display and I have a budget so I might not consider Note 2. I wanted to get LTE Note since it supports LTE and it would be a waste if we didn't make use of that.
I did see on starhub website that it states it is upgradeable to JB, but their website is always providing inaccurate information. Thanks for the recommendation, might reconsider. :good:

Can I have the link, please?
The 4g would come in handy for sure. I actually turned that off coz its eating my battery like theres no tmr..
Regards the HK forum, I dun have the link anymore.. ask Google my friend..
I realised the information on our local telco (Starhub) said processor is 1.4 Ghz, but the SHG-I717 is a 1.5 Ghz Scorpion.
Also the firmware stated on Samsung website says it should be ICS instead of GB, where Starhub says its GB and upgradable to JB?
So which is correct??
Look elsewhere for information. Believe the opposite of starhub. The specs they listed belongs to the international note N7000.
Hi dude, can u please show how u did to sucessfully to flash this stock roms to pandroid rom.. thank you in advance
