so i left verizon, due to service coverage at work, and am wondering can i flash a ATT ROM now that I'm using GSM sim ONLY now? if so, any special way of doing it or just flash as normal? thanks a ton.
I think that world actually work. The ROM would have the Att modems inside. I would look for one that has the APN settings unlock just in case. Back up always and please report back.

Why don't you just turn it into a global phone? There's a great video on YouTube

For any one interested I have successfully flashed att rom to my Verizon note2 with no additional steps needed. This is only good for someone using the gsm side as there now no option for cdma. But just letting everyone know

Does LTE work on your verizon note 2, now that it's running att rom? Or just EDGE for data?

I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

I so agree with you!!! I want to go to ATT or TMobile because they're GSM Networks but Sprint is giving me a crazy deal that I could never drop.

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

Im on t-mobile and this constant data drops and crappy signal in my house and everywhere u go is intolerable. I really don't wanna sign a contract but heard.good things about straight Talk. So i need advice or current user input on this matter. Or recommend me to something worth checking out. Thank you.

StaightTalk seems pretty good for at&t users who want to change carriers with minimum fuss. Your at&t note won't need any rom or modem flashing. But, you will have to unlock it and manually input the APN settings.

It runs on AT&T's HSPA network. So it's the same as that. You won't get LTE though. That currently only for AT&T.

If you have an AT&T phone and plan on using ST AT&T then you don't need to unlock your phone! I'm using the GNote on straight talk AT&T without it unlocked.

As the topic says I am curious if anyone has made the switch to t-mobile and got everything working. There's a thread on the tmo forum about getting the AT&T variant working using QPST but they where asking for the QCN file from our version and I don't know if it's needed or if there's another work around. The AT&T/ TMO thread is here:

The guy that got that working on the att version still needs the qcn. The one he had didn't have all the nv's and was taken with older version qpst. It needs to be 2.7.374 or newer. He's still willing to work on it if you can get that to him.

He needed the qcn to activate the 900 mhz bands. It had no affect on using our phone on tmo. I actually already sent it to himhe just hasn't updated the op.

You will only get edge data unless you are in a reframed area. Right now tmo 4g is on the 1900aws band which the Verizon note doesn't support

Thought the note 2 carried the gsm bands for hspa? Ugh I was hoping to drop Verizon paying 110/mo for a single line is getting ridiculous

They do kind of just not that aws band. If you're in an area with the reframed towers you will 4g I'm not sure about there lte though.
I was only kind if joking though earlier. List your note on craiglist. I got 450 but sold within hours. Go to Walmart and pay 278 on contact with t mobile. Then call t mobile and mitigate your classic plan to a value plan for the 200 fee. You now have 60 a month and 478 for the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I would do that but I am still under contract and the bezel on my note has some nicks from falling out of my pocket before I got a case for it. That's why I am trying to use phone instead of selling.

Just tried switching sim card with a Tmobile friend. Tge Tmobile sim is a regular SIM that is too big for our stock microsim slot. A hardware mod is required or it may just be the fact that the SIM came from a S2.

You do realize that there are various sized SIM cards right? The original VZW LTE phones used the larger SIM card. The iPhone 5 uses a smaller SIM card.
Yes I do, I was just trying to help the OP by bringing this issue to light before he switches

don't /ever/ flash a sprint or a N7100 rom to the i605. you can try an AT&T/T-Mobile/N7105 (international LTE). after flashing the TW only rom flash this file after and you should get vzw service: http://db.tt/0F7xsxVc this was made by scrosler btw, ive just uploaded it to my personal dropbox.
My question is how can I make my vzw samsung s4 ... a fully tmobile s4 ... like with a stock image from tmobile but for the vzw samaung s4 and all the setting perfectly working since right now I cant receive pictures.... thanks hope u guys can help
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Easy answer NO.
Longer answer no, because of blown fuses locked bootloader and all kinds of other stuff. You only have gsm network working not lte or hspa

He meant T-Mobile LTE which uses different bands than Verizon you will get 2g at most in tmobile
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
with Verizon model you will get 2G and 4G aka HSPA+ not LTE.'
And no you cant flash T-Mobile rom because that is a different device on TMO but someone might do a port or something idk.
Ask devs.
Thanks man exactly the answer i was looking for lol ... how can i ask the devs?
