I updated my Unlocked AT&T Note to JellyBean 4.1.2. I'm currently on T-Mobile. My question is, are there any T-Mobile JB modems I can flash or Odin onto this new software?
Just use any modem you want. Any.
Modems are for the chips on the phone and are not dependent on GB, ICS, or JB.
But, that said, some experimentation is needed. I put all the relavent flashable zips on my sd card, then went about my day. I tried a modem in one area, then flashed another, until I found the best one for me.

Been looking for an answer online and can't seem to find one, my girlfriend bought a used bell gs2 and when i plug it in kies it tells me it has the latest software yet it seems that 2.3.3 as been out for a long time and should have been updated by now no?
Thanks

If you check this thread here UGKG2 is the only firmware bell has put out, so if thats the one you have, then yes, thats the only firmware there is, blame bell for being slow.
If you want to flash a new upto date rom, follow this guide, it also has download links, KK5 is generally a good 2.3.6 firmware at the moment, dont go for the ICS roms, there buggy.
It also should be non wipe aka you shouldnt lose anything as its stock firmware to stock firmware, but no promises and you would be advised to backup stuff first.
I bought the phone in January sim free, for full price from my local mobile phone store. It is running stock android 2.3.4 (build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4). Its been in the online news a lot that ICS would be available by the end of Q1 but still, i am unable to update. I get a message saying my firmware is the latest available.
I live in New Zealand and as far as i understand you (USA) have ICS but what about for me? I'm assuming my phone is the international version so i thought i would have the update by now.
So does anyone know the full story?
Thanks
ICS hasn't been released by any of the NZ telcos yet (I checked with Checkfus). You can pretty much run any ICS stock (or custom for that matter) rom you want. Lots of Odin (mainly stock roms) & CWM flashable (mainly custom) roms on here (search the development sections).
One thing to bear in mind if you do flash a stock ICS rom from another region tho, you may have problems getting updates via Kies in future. If that happens, you'd need to flash a stock rom for your region in order to get Kies updates again. Or you could do what the majority of people on here do, bypass Kies completely (horrible excuse for software) & flash all your roms manually.
As long as you've got an I9100 or I9100T you can flash any firmware for these phones.
Fellow Kiwi here mate, just flash any ics rom thru odin. I've had no issues whatsoever, the latest Lp7 rom with speedmod kernel is the best I've had. You wont regret it.
I'm with telecom, they wont update anything quickly at all.
Hope this helps your decision
Interestingly enough I have not seen any posts about ALF3. Seems most talk is about ALF2 and ALF6.
I got my phone with ALF2 and ran the update and got ALF3..
Anyone else on ALF3, should ALF6 be available? It's not for me.

Firmware version and update interval depend on your geographic location, installed firmware and carrier. It can take several months for certain regions to get newer versions.
Just flash the firmware of your choice through Odin and you're good to go if you care about being on the newest one.

I am using the international SCH-I9300 on an AT&T MVNO (Straight Talk) in the USA.
Thanks for your suggestion, I usually stick to stock rooted, but will look into what fixes features ALF6 has over ALF3 before proceeding. Being that the phone is still new to me, I like it as it is

I am going to flash the firmware on my m8 to upgrade to 4.4.4 ARHD but I am still unsure of how to identify the proper firmware zip . Could someone provide some guidance? Attached are some images from the recovery. I'm not sure what numbers I need to match with the firmware zip. And I can't find how to view what numbers are in the zip. Any advice is very much appreciated.
hboot 3.16 corresponds to firmware that deployed with 1.x software. Its what many folks call "1.x firmware" for lack of any better title, since firmware doesn't really have a "number".
If you want to update to the latest ARHD, you need "3.x firmware". Any firmware with number 3.xx.xx will allow the phone to boot normally, and with working WiFi. The numbers after the 3 are just carrier/region specific versions.
But for the AT&T network, you are probably best off flashing the 3.28.1540 firmware posted on WNC's ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Thanks a lot!

So even if you just want the new Firmware, you have to do everything in that thread? I'm asking because it shows installing a ROM then doing stuff with Xposed, which I assume will be undone when the ROM changes

No, you just need to perform the steps listed under "Updating firmware" numbered 1-8. And also skip the very last step (Step 8, Substep 3).
The rest is if you want to run the modified Dev Ed ROM, as you have somewhat already figured out. But honestly, if you are on AT&T's network, I would consider the ROM anyway. Many folks (including myself) get various network errors running "international" based custom ROMs; which the debloated Dev Ed ROM does not suffer from.
If anyone has a stock sch-r530u (U.S. Cellular) firmware, that would be great! Can't seem to find it on the inter webs.
What firmware does it have currently? I've only been able to find an older version of JB - 4.1.2. I might possibly have another version on my hard drive at home but have not looked into it for a long time so am not sure...

If you have already updated to 4.3, I do not think this file will work.
