Read the older guide, but it does not appear to be applicable. Wanted to put this out on top for others to read and maybe point me in the right direction.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Yes, that is the thread I was referring to when I posed the question. I went through that thread earlier and I couldn't find a few of the files. Specifically the metro apk's and the autocut (no longer available on google apps).
Also in that thread the Metro PCS files are no longer needed for a few others but the reasons and/or installation of the replacements are not explained which is what i was looking for. (page 3 and page 5 I think). Says MetroPCs apks no longer needed. So I don't know what "just flash your m.ip and ppp settings with qspt" means or how to do this as on page 3.

I downloaded my copy from dmeadows013's sticky, completed fine.
Will edit another mirror or two in a bit on this post.

There is a thread in the Dev section that has the firmware and radios as a flashable image.
I used that last night, rocking Venesaur now. And its awesome.

I do recommend those too if you are ultimately trying to move to a custom ROM, that method saves some time if you know what you're doing and are a flashaholic with S-off lol.

If you are referring to the root method (root66) using odin, no, it won't wipe your data. It just adds root, everything else should remain the same.

Note the stripped vs stock rooted image. I preferred the stock rooted since I wanted to be able to choose what I did and didn't want to keep. The stripped version removes things like svoice, kiesair, voice recorder, etc all which I like.
So I just installed Cyanogenmod 10 and now I have no Verizon signal as if my phone is not activated at all. Please help I really need service back asap!
Where did you get cm10? Are you trolling?
Edit. If you made a nandroid go back to that. If not search around and you'll be OK.

I used the latest nightly build from the get.cm page.
And you said to search around? I did make a backup but won't that take me off CM10? I have been searching but all I can find are guides for old ass phones from years ago.

Most likely you've flashed a rom that wasn't made for our VZW variant which in the process has changed your kernel. Try restoring your backup.

There is not yet a CM10 build for the Verizon variant of the note 2. You jumped the gun on this. The only note 2 CM10 build on the get.cm site is for the international version. If that's what you flashed then that easily explains your activation problem. Restore your backup and wait for someone to put out a CM10 build specifically for this device.

Well what a damn shame. CM10 is one slick rom. I'm a total noob to this whole thing and had no idea that roms must be made to fit specific carriers. Oh well, bye bye CM10 it is :crying:. Restoring now.
On a side note: What are some good roms that are out now? I hate Touchwiz .
Use this rom for your Verizon galaxy note

Let's look for things before calling people wrong and saying they are flashing incorrect things.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047734
To the OP: Restart and clear cache. If that doesn't work try to go to Airplane mode for a minute or so then turn it off. The post says it might take a bit to get data. I have not flashed the Alpha CM build so I'm sorry I can't help much.

Yeah the ROOTing, Unlocking bootloader, and flashing ROMs has become a mess. Too many news websites pick up on these initial XDA announcements and then floods of people come who have no idea what they are doing. I have been doing custom ROMs for the last 2 years and I still feel hesitant with the Note 2 since the development is not there yet and everything seems unclear at the moment.

You do realize that he posted this thread BEFORE the alpha build was posted here don't you? I'm guessing not, so maybe you should pay attention to time stamps before yelling at other people. This is why I stated there wasn't a public build available yet, as sbrissen hadn't yet posted it for everyone.
Alright, first let me say that I am very appreciative of the roms we have. I just wanted to know what it would take to port roms from other carriers to use on Verizon. When roaming through all the forums, the amount of flashing one could do would be enormous. Any detailed info would be great. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I believe all you need to do are swap out a couple libs and edit the APN info, but there may be a little more besides that.
Thanks imnuts. Could you maybe give me some advice on how to proceed?How would I go about tracking down the libs? Would I see what was in our stock rom, and check the differences in a alternate carriers rom lib folder? I understand the apn settings somewhat, but as you can tell, I am new to having a phone that is on multiple carriers, and Samsung. I have themed some of my own stuff, but haven't done anything like this. The reason I ask is because I have seen people here saying that they were on jellybomb, and others. Any adive would be helpful.

I'm doing a Verizon to tmo right now. All the info you need should be right here. Also to expand make sure you still run a Verizon radio and kernel. By the way the people on jellybomb just flashed ROM then Verizon kernel and radio. The link above is how to do it correctly as imnuts mentioned.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Thank you so much for the reply. I am trying to wrap my head around this so bear with me. I am not going to try it until I completely understand what I am doing. From what I read,
1. I can flash a att/t-mo rom.
2. Run the rom checking script(make sure it passes)
3. Flash kernel, and radio, and boot rom.
4. Check csc's, and build prop, change files accordingly.
5. Check data networks, and gps function.
5. profit?
Is it that easy? I am sure I am oversimplifying this. If it is that easy, could you point me in the right direction for the radio. I did a quick search on xda, and google without finding it. Thank you for holding my hand : )
By the way kintwofan, I pmed you the same message, if you feel l I ke it is spam, delete, and thanks for getting me this far.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Okay to do it correctly you will need to do a little work. You will need to edit your build.prop and the files in /system/csc
to reflect Verizon.
Next remove the tmo or sprint specific app (from link). Then you will want to get the Verizon specific apps (from that link) and put them in /system/apps.
If you don't do these things then the check zio will show incompatable. Then just make sure you are on a Verizon kernel and radio (I'll find link but it's in development thread)
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
That helps tremendously. I will hunt down the radio myself. You provided more than you should have to. That thread was just a little over my head, and I will reread many times before trying. Coming from the rezound, this is like a very complex, and new heaven. Thank you again.

Ok, if you don't believe me, that's fine. Go look everywhere else on XDA. Go look everywhere on the internet. There is no recovery. 4.3 is completely locked down. GooManager is probably trying to give you a Loki'd TWRP because it thinks you're on MDK, which is the only baseband that actually supports TWRP.
Yeah dude no custom recovery for mj7. Hashcode is trying to get safestrap working with the update. At least then you guys can have stock based TW roms.

It won't matter. People won't bother to read and will try to flash CM on their phones regardless of whether or not it works. SInce it says in the Sprint forum that doing "x" will work, it must work on all of the Galaxy S4 models, right? It's unfortunately very confusing when the different models of the GS4 have different firmware and very different updating policies.
Most of the people who have done this have no idea what "MJ7" means, so I''m afraid that a sticky won't help.it would have to appear as the first post in every forum for every variant of the GS4. And STILL people wouldn't read it.
Do you know of any working tons for safestrap?? Cause that's what in using right now.....and was looking for some good working roms.
