It is exactly the same as AT&T use, do you recommend that i make a recovery from my original stock room and start again ?, if i make a recovery to my stock rom it remains rooted or i need to root again ?
Hi it seems you have the T-Mobile radio antenna installed. I'm still a noob at this but look at my post called "flash Samsung galaxy note i7i7 back to at&t" towards the end of the comments they'll be talking about a att-stock-odin-antenna or something around those lines just download it and no need to unzip/extract it and you should have 4g GPA/lye back on your note also you need Odin which I assume you have.
2nd edit: also this doesn't clear your root/flash only the antenna is updated

Just for the records, i´ll be able to fix the problem flashing again the original AT&T stock radio at :
http://m-s-j.net/dagnarf/phone-odin-att-stock-radio.tar
I´m using this i717 with the original AT&T stock rom rooted with original stock radio from AT&T in Telcel mexico with no problems at all, for some reason the original radio can´t recognize the Telcel signal as 3g/4g, just reload the radio again from the link above and everything works fine now !, Thank you every one, specially zacharyXD !

and I heard Bell i717 ICS is coming soon... so... yeah

I've made the stock firmware for Bell that was originally on here (search). From my experience making that and the subsequently making Telus and Rogers stock firmware with files from other people, I know that if you flash one of the big three's firmware on a Bell Note, the model reported by the software is that of the owners firmware. Can confirm it as when I flashed the Telus firmware on my Bell Note, it reported it as an i717D (Telus' variant). I assume it will be the same in your case.

We definitely need the bell official rom so we can have a better custom firmware
And hopefully the kernel source of i717 will out soon so we can do OC or fast charge
Qualcomm S3 always make me mad but hopefully Samsung can change my mind
This firmware cannot be flashed on an AT&T I717, right?

Hi Guys, I'm trying help my friend fix his Galaxy Note. I'm not too sure if what to do here. There are five files posted.
Do I need to flash them all?
In what order should they be flashed?
If you can do a screenshot that would be perfect. Thank you very much XDA folks.
There is no CWM at this point after flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599127.

You flash them with Odin3 v1.85. And you input them all at once using Odin.
The problem is that when flashing this from, I got an error related pit on my i717.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
is it a bell phone you are trying to flash
No, I have a AT&T one but use it with Bell network. That's why I want to flash Bell stock ROM.
Use this .pit file - works fine for me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nd76fghy0uwvyi/RWC_signed_Q1_USA_1221.pit
As for the other files, yeah flash them all.
They should be entered as shown in the attachment.
Just got my Bell Note a couple of days ago and am loving it so far...Of course the tinkerer in me has been itching to void my warranty since hour 1 by trying out an ICS ROM..
I had resolved to wait until I see Bell's official update bloat and all..but the availability of the files in the OP has got me waivering.....
Must....resist...aaggghhh!!!! damn you OP....
Thanks for these...sigh
This is the Samsung Kies Official ICS 4.0.4 update if any one can add the other file in Odin like pit file, boot loader, phone file, csc file it will be great

Hi there,
To the best of your knowledge, will this ICS update work in my situation ? I use my G Note on Bell (with a Bell sim card in Canada) and on T-mobile (with a T-mobile sim card in US). My GSH-i717M is unlocked and flashed for T-mobile as well as rooted.
From my understanding bell and telus use the same network.
The telus ROM has less bloat - or so I've heard.

Bell ics update
I believe that I succesfully updated my Gnote to ICS using the files provided, however now I'm wondering if I need to reflash my modem in order to use HSPA+ on T-mobile again ?? From the performance that I'm getting on T-mobile (in the US) since the update, it looks like I'm only running on EDGE now. So I guess I'll need to update my modem once again.
Now the question is, can I do this since having updated my G Note to ICS ?? Any thoughts or ideas on this ??
Would this help?

You should be looking in the Note 2 section.
Hello, I have had a Samsung Galaxy S II LTE from Rogers for three months now and it suddenly stopped working after trying to make a phone call.
The firmware was the Gingerbread 2.3.6 I believe (The most current firmware before ICS for the SGH-I727R)
There has been a history of attemping to install Cyanogenmod 10, but I had Clockwork Recovery installed and I was never able to install Cyanogenmod 10 because it gave me errors.
So I used Odin and an official release from Rogers to restore back to Gingerbread.
A month later, this is where I am at.
Status:
I can boot as far as the Carrier logo before going blank and vibrating every 2 - 3 seconds
I can go into download and recovery mode for 5 seconds before being met with a quick flash of a blue screen.
The phone randomly vibrates when a battery is inserted, when it is being charged, or a combination of the two
The battery needs to be taken out and placed back in before attempting a normal, download or recovery boot.
I also do not know if Samsung can tell, as there is no Clockwork Mod or any left over roms or Superuser permissions.
What should I do? Thanks!

Correct, but except for the 'R', maybe everything is the same? In any case, you need to ask in the Skyrocket forum, they may be able to point you in the right direction. You won't get much help here.

Hello. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4, but I live in Europe and I was wondering if I can turn the device in a regular GT-i9505. Can I simply download the official stock i9505 firmware and flash it with Odin or the device will "explode" if I do that?
I saw a CWM flashable zip with the stock 9505 firmware, but I actually prefer the Odin method if possible, so I can have OTA/Kies updates...like if the phone was always a GT-i9505.
Thanks in advance for the replies and sorry If this topic is meant to be in the science fiction section
Best regards!
No just use it in your carrier the phone comes sim unlocked out of the box.

I know I can just pop in my sim and start using it. The point is, I don't want to wait for Verizon for updates. I have always bought debranded phones and I wanted to turn this one in such too, bit if it's not possible I'll just go for Cyanogenmod.
