Refer to topic. So Tmobile recently launched LTE in my area yesterday. I was wondering if there's a way to enable their network on my ATT note. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I've gotten TMobile LTE with stock settings on my unlocked, rooted (but nothing done with that) i717 in Chicago.

What radio & rom are you using?
This phone is almost two years old but you are the first person to wonder if the at&t note can work on tmobile's frequncies.
Just in case I'm wrong about you being the first one to wonder, why not try a google search?
I'll bet there's 2,000 responses.

Yes, there is. You have to be on an AT&T Rom, Carrier Unlock your I717, Use T-Mobile Sim Card, Apply T-Mobile LTE APN Settings. I think that's it in a nutshell.

Don't forget to get LTE on tmobile you must use an ATT Radio.
UCLF6 for ICS
UCMB4 or UCMD3 for JB.
Rom type doesn't matter, just radio, apn, and being in a LTE area, i717 unlocked as well.

So your phone doesn't have to be unlocked? Just rooted and flash the Modem via recovery? Just asking cause I am on at&t and experiencing signal drops frequently

You must also be unlocked for tmobile. Just adding what he forgot. There is a guide in the i717 forum for free sim unlock if it isn't by chance unlocked already.

Being as this phone is from ATT, no it wouldn't need to be unlocked to use an ATT sim.
Unlock is needed for tmobile phone/data to work on the i717.

If your trying to unlock using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37357905 then yes flashing the tmobile modem is fine.
When it is unlocked, you can flash any radio found for the i717 in recovery and it only changes the radio.
So follow the guide to sim unlock for free. Then reflash only the radios I mentioned before. You should then have your ATT I717 unlocked for tmobile if you change out the sim card.
This won't do anything besides allow a tmobile sim card with functioning calls/data.
If you don't need this, then try a newer ATT radio that I previously detailed a few posts back.

Like the thread says, I'm just wondering if after i unlock a Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE so that i can use it on my network, if it'll downgrade to HSPA+ or keep the 4G LTE
Nothing will change unless you flash a radio that does not support lte but even then you could just flash the stock radio again.

Do a speed test ... if you see 32Mb download then you are on LTE, HSPA mode will hover around 6Mb.

So I got a att sim card for straight talk. I was wondering if I unlocked my phone and flashed the blaze radio and put in the tmo apns would I run on the tmo towers? I know you can get the tmo one but are they that much different?

I am on T-Mobile and generally run blaze modem, but I also tested straight talk at&t sim for a while. Here are my few obvervations -
1. I think that only at&t towers were being used by straight talk, even with blaze modem. The signal strength was different for each sim. I found at&t coverage in my area better. You need straight talk apn though, having blaze modem would make no difference. So you would need to switch apns if you swap sims (assuming you have two sims).
2. On straight talk the signal was the same regardless of the flashed modem - at&t modem or T-Mobile blaze. And again att.mvno apn was absolutely necessary.
3. However, despite the same signal strength, the blaze modem drained the battery a lot faster as compared to stock at&t ics modem. Even on wifi.
If you have T-Mobile sim card you may find top download speeds with blaze modem a lot faster. However, straight talk connection is more stable. Stability is everything. I hope you have good at&t coverage in your area as I would stick with at&t ics modem. In fact that is the best option, unless you also have a T-Mobile sim and plan to swap it sometimes. But even if you have both, please note the battery drain caused by blaze modem - may not be worth it.
So the blaze isn't stable?

Will verizon s4 work on at&t. Will i be able to get 4g? Thanks
4G as in H+? Then yes.
No, they have different radios. GSM (AT&T) vs CDMA (Verizon)
JaeKay, the Verizon S4 had both radios. I have personally used an AT&T SIM and made calls and gotten H+. So to the OP, YES YOU CAN. You just need to add the APN info after you put in the new SIM card.

I have both a TMO sim and and ATT sim, and I got EDGE with TMO. No H/H+ right now on TMO because very few areas are on 1900. Our version of the S4 does not have the ability to use H/H+ on the AWS frequencies, just LTE.
Hello all,
I have an att one that I've sim unlocked to use with tmobile. Now I want it to run like a tmobile phone. Would I have to unlock bootloader from HTCdev then flash cwm then flash a rooted stock rom? Now what about flashing a tmobile radio? Can I just flash that on top for it to be better optimized for tmobile frequency? And when should I S-Off through this whole process? Thanks for all the help

Got what? No one has yet gotten the AWS frequencies on their non T-mobile phone. What exactly did you have as results?
The ATT model by default only gets the HSPA 1900 band or LTE on T-Mobile (plus edge, of course). What it is missing is the high speed 4G T-Mobile only AWS band.
EDIT: One does not need to flash TMO to use the phone on 1900 or LTE.

Hey guys...
So, the Verizon S4 is the model named SCH-I545 and it comes with a sim slot, right? Besides, it comes Internationally Unlocked, so it can be used on GSM networks around the world, correct?
Just one more question, does it work on the 850MHz Band for 3G?
I'm thinking on buying one also! Thanks!
I brought the vzw s4 back to india.. but its not working with either vodafone or airtel GSM.
After rooting and installing apn manager and titanium pro I was able to get the data working but that too only 3g.
But the voice n sms is still not working.
I too am lookiblng for a solution but didnt find any, inspite of this being a world phone.

I am having the same issue. The phone picks up only data signal and not voice or SMS. I have a Note2 purchased from Verizon and it works perfect. I have rooted and was able to install an I9505 ROM Wamma Lite. It picked up the gsm signal for a moment and same issue occured. Can aI9505 modem be iinstalled using Odin which will make the gsm modem primary and CDMA secondary and allow gsm use for voice and SMS. Please help.

Yes, it will work on 850
Straight from Sammy.
"Frequencies and Data Type:
LTE: Bands 4/13
CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz
HSPA+/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz"
I am using my i545 in both CDMA and GSM networks. Didn't try HDSPA, but EVDO Rev.A and even Rev.B, and GSM with EDGE - working properly without problems. Switching between networks - is in the Settings. My phone is connected to two different operators at the same time - to CDMA and GSM.
