Hey Guys,
So before the update to ICS I was using the modified blazed radio to get the 4G on Simple mobile and it worked great. After upgrading I lost root and everything which is normal. I am wandering if there is a radio that works for the stock ICS like le modified blaze did in order to let us people from Simple mobile ( Tmobile) to enjoy our galaxy note to the fullest. I aklready got root access and tried to flash an modem but it completly froze my phone.
Thanks a lot
The best radio for T-mobile/SimpleMobile/Wind is still Blaze.
I have a Galaxy S2, I9100, original, I had the LoS Kernel from early on, and I have had recent troubles upgrading. I've upgraded to Dream Kernal, Siyah Kernal, and several other kernals. The phone boots when I load each individual rom, however, several services fails to load.
Am I missing something? I haven't updated this phone since it first came out, and after months of "update messages" from Sprint, I've decided to update it and I'm having difficulty. I've got CWM downloaded and I've used CWM to update each rom and kernel. If I could get some direction that'd be great. I just want the latest Android version and some type of superficial visual ROM ontop. I am generally very okay with each ROM, just upset that the current kernal leaves me with a failure of signal, causing me to reboot.
Update
I currently have Kernel version 3.043-rc1-Siyah-Dorimanx-V5.78-SGII-PWR-CORE and AOKP Version ThunderBolt Rom JB by ALHuessein Mohammed and Android version 4.1.1. . My Build is ThundrBolt by ALHussein Mohammed and I can't get any of my active services to work. Wifi doesn't work, sending texts doesnt work, surfing the internet doesn't work. Nothing. I get the phone to boot, but nothing comes of my boot. I have tried several different kernels, and different ROMs, but none of them seem to fix the issue of standard services working. I'd appreciate some help with the issues. My CWM version is 6.0.1.2-Siyah. I'm pretty confused on the whole matter.
As far as my knowledge goes, the Kernel is like the underlying infrastructure, and the ROM is like the OS. I don't really know what I've done to **** this **** up, but it's no longer functioning as a regular phone. I've used ODIN before, but seeing how I have CWM, I figured it wasn't required. Any help would be appreciated. Even setting my phone back to stock, since backing up my phone through CWM didn't actually do anything, since I can't restore back to my previous version.
I'm in dire need. Please assist.

So no one has any idea why my phone boots, but every active service fails to load? I guess I'll have to call this one a loss.

hey ma8 first and foremost u should have patience here on XDA.
bumping Post like this will lead u knowhere and people will simply ignore the same for sure
now coming back to ur issue what i would suggest u is this before jumping into kernel flashing thing have u checked in the ROM thread of the one ur using for what kernel people r using there r any kernel related post in that thread.
if not do the same first (search that thread for post that r similar to ur issues).
also u can try the latest Siyah kernel v4.1.5 and see

Several contradicting pieces of information here that I've bolded.
The I9100 is a GSM phone. Sprint is a CDMA network. The I9100 won't even work on Sprint's network.
When I google for "LoS kernel site:forum.xda-developers.com", the first result I get is for this, which is an Epic 4G Touch kernel.
These things tell me you are not in the correct forum for your device.
The Sprint variant for the Galaxy S2 is the Epic 4G Touch, and that forum is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281

Yeeeahh. I had searched Samsung Galaxy SII, and I was led here. I had forgotten that my particular phone was an Epic 4G Touch. Thanks for the direction.
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.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
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
p/s: im from Malaysia
Alright, I did a quick search and nothing popped up and I'm looking for the latest information anyway. Also I'm a complete beginner here
Alright, I installed a new stereo into my car and everything works great. Except that when I'm streaming the stock google music app the tags do not show up on the display. According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560609&page=22 this is a common problem with the receiver and it appears that most/all stock ROMs will not display tags. So according to that thread I need a custom ROM specifically one that runs 4.1. I guess 4.2 does not show tags on any ROM.
So my question for you is. What is the best 4.1 ROM to use? What is the most stable that has all of the features of my stock OS?
Also what tutorials do you guys suggest. I was planning on using the ones found here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155576. What does GSM mean btw?
Sorry for being so clueless on this. Thanks for the help guys!
Well im kind of nooby to, but i can tell you what gsm means. It means a sim card based phone or network (gsm phone, gsm network, etc.). Such as T-Mobile or ATT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module
The opposite of GSM is CDMA (CDMA based network, CDMA based phone), you don't need a sim card for your phone, I guess your phone comes programmed to whatever carrier. Major networks are Verizon and Sprint.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_division_multiple_access
GSM phones are easier to switch carriers with, just unlock your phone and pop in what ever sim card from any carrier you want (although you may face limited functionality, such as only 2g).
If your razr has any Verizon branding (Verizon logo) its the CDMA xt912, or you can tell its CDMA if on the back of the phone it says xt912, and by going into "Settings"> "About Phone" (scroll down)> "Model Number". The GSM variant has no Verizon branding and has an xt910 on the back, and by going into "Settings"> "About Phone" (scroll down)> "Model Number". So when people say xt910 its GSM and xt912 its CDMA. Do not install roms for the other phone (if you have GSM do not install a CDMA rom, vice versa, unless you use patches such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805380, make sure the rom you want is supported).
The rom i use is CM10.1 (cyanmod 10.1) its really stable accept for me, camera doesn't work (I usually carry my "un-hacked", other phone with me so it doesn't matter) Its based of of 4.2.2 here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028020

Thanks so much for the response. I was worried for a second. Well I found out earlier today what the difference between CDMA and GSM. Mine is the xt912. Thanks again for clearing that up for me.
As for the ROM I believe that the 10.1 is based off of 4.2 where as 10 is based off of 4.1. I'm looking for a 4.1 ROM that has all the features including the camera and everything I'd expect from my phone. I don't mind it being old or anything. I'd actually prefer it. Can anyone help with that? Suggest a ROM to use? I've been looking around all day today and didn't find anything that looked that great. I wouldn't mind CM9 if it was more stable. Just looking for one that isn't based off of 4.2.
Thanks again for the response though! It was very helpful.

Yup, no problem.
These roms are all CDMA xt912 roms, these require JB kernel (pretty much JB as your phone's stock rom) If you do not have JB official as your stock here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083129
(If you don't have already) Your going to need Safestrap recovery 3.11 before you can install roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391900
Make sure you uninstall any recovery you have installed (such as Bootstrap, and any other Safestrap version) before you install Safestrap 3.11.

Everything works but 4g. I can't get the apn settings to save. Im guessing it may be due to this or being stuck on nd6 radio. Info on custom roms for this device are scarce but some say they have working 4g on cyanogenmod roms. So far ether downgrade to stock 4.1 touchwiz or stay with the newest stable cyanogenmod and lose 4g. If the straight talk model would have gotten the kitkat update like samsung said it would i wouldn't have the problem of needing nd8 for touchwiz 4.4 but id still be using a cm based rom always been enjoying cm since my g1 . if anyone has any info on how to get working 4g it would be verry helpful. I have apn backup from the stock rom just cant edit them on cm 11
