Did anyone know that you can load up a T-Mobile rom on the Verizon Note 3 using Safestrap. I was able to boot it up on my phone with T-Mobile sim and it works.
Does gps work? And does it work with Verizon network? If not, irrelevant for 98% of us.

I second this. Is DE users might have to flash the boot or the kernel Beans posted after flashing a T-Mo rom or else we will get booted into Odin. Waiting to see if we can get fully working data before I try this

Well... All tmobile roms are have aroma installers. Which we can't run because ss doesn't currently support it. I wanted to try this before. @JrGomez15

yes they will run tmobile roms/kernels/recoveries etc. now remember i am on a dev with fully working twrp so dont try an aroma flash on a regular device with ss. but since tmobile note 3 bootloader is also unlocked same as developer edition that is why they work together

It wouldn't be a big deal to try to flash a tmobile rom to a virtual partition in safestrap because it's sandboxed away from precious system files.

It shouldn't be limited to TMo ROMs, should be able to flash ROMs from any Note with the same processor. It was the same with the S4.

Back up your EFS before you flash anything. I am not sure if there is an EFS backup tool for Note 3.

TWRP does this I think. When I back up my rom, it asks if I wanna backup my modem, boot and efs. I had already flashed a T-Mo rom. It just wouldn't get any data. I don't think flashing the radio would do anything. I'm still hesitant tho

You have to change APN settings I think.
I had a week old S4 and messed with APN settings and radios. I bricked it beyond repair..IMEI and ICCID were all messed up too. I had no choice but sell it and get a Note 3. I tried flashing stock roms, factory images but it was broken. I was told if I had EFS backup I could have revived it.

I am also using a tmobile sim and im able to get 4g working up to 32 mb down 9 up by turning on band 4 setting up the apn
I was trying to change the modem from verizon on the the t mobile rom and i messed up the system. I couldnt even use odin to return to stock. I was able to just install the modem in odin after and fixed it. With the rom i can connect to tmobile even have the wifi calling showing good but it keeps disconnecting.
Aroma roms will not install because safestrap on verizon note isnt set up for it.

1-25-13 UPDATE for anybody using a sprint rom you can ged rid of the hands free activation by going to system-->apps and rename SprintDM.apk to SprintDM.apk.bak
1-25-13 UPDATE AGAIN Okay ive been trying a lot of roms from a-z from every carrier and ive noticed something some roms wont go past boot or just restart now ive said do a full wipe that will usually work but if it does not try this install jelly beans build 6-7 your choice then install over it it has fixed a lot of the roms that will not boot for me so try this if you have one you want to use that will not boot
Okay anybody who has a 64gb micro ultra sd card class 10 thats wants to use fat 32 on it instead of ex fat here is a fun little program i used to do mine that way GUI FORMAT
THNAKS TO toskabab we now have a way to port roms without the patch and keep the tweaks if you would like a certain non international rom ported there is a way now. im no expert but check post #298 for his post very informative works every time im not like some people wont mention names but if you would like me to help you out step by step pm me and i will give you step by step instructions on how to do this
Okay you can use any rom from any carrier on you vzw note 2. Its very easy first off you will need to download any rom you wish. I will use the Jedi x rom for T-Mobile as an example you can download it JEDI X.You will also need the Verizon kernel. (if you want to use it its not required but can work better at times) VZW KERNEL .Also the Verzion modem file vVZW MODEM I have had great luck with the jb one but you can use whichever you like.
So to start off download all the files I have linked and put them on your external sd. After that you will want to boot into recovery I use twrp but you can also use cwm if you like. Now wipe both cache and dalvik cache, the system, and factory reset (unless there are system mods you need to keep) if so just wipe the cache files. Next install the rom you want (any rom from any u.s. carrier) once you do that you will need to also flash the modem file and the kernel file. (the kernel is optional but i do it just for good measures to make sure everything stays Verizon). After that you should be done reboot and enjoy the new rom you just installed and if you are using one from another carrier and you want the default vzw apps and widgets like the data widget here is another file you can flash threw recovery as well it also fixes any 4g issues you may have on other roms VZW PATCH

All the international ROMs I've seen were TW so no need to flash GAPPs. The only issues I've encountered when flashing international TW ROMs is getting a GPS lock but there are fixes. VZW data has always worked for me.

You don't need to flash a kernel, Gapps, or modem. Just flash the International ROM of your choice and you are good to go.
Just a slight warning though, on the latest release of the International ROMs myself, and others have not been able to obtain GPS in any way. Some are lucky enough to have it work but sadly I was not one of them. If you use GPS a lot make sure you check it before you start setting everything up.

When trying to flash a N7100 rom TWRP recovery will error and not install anything. That's my experience so far, so either the people above are not mentioning something or have no idea what they are talking about...
Not responsible for damaged phones, use at your own risk!
I installed the Stock rooted T Mobile rom by Scrosler posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459677
After flashing that rom from recovery, I used Scrosler Stock loki'd ATT boot img found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45755689&postcount=3
After booting, you have to setup an ATT APN. I used this one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41717915&postcount=9
APN settings are found under System settings / tethering & networks / mobile networks / access point names / "menu soft key" new apn. Be sure to save when done.
After this you have a completely functioning T Mobile rom with theming for the home launcher on your ATT D800
Of course build prop will need to be changed to ATT settings, but will work as is.
Thanks to Scrosler for all the need files and his time to do this!
Edit, you can load the build prop from clean Rom 1.1 to get it back to ATT.

@op - what other benefits (if any) have you seen with the T-Mobile ROM? thanks.
The roms are basically the same, however the T-Mobile Rom has launcher theming built in. Hopefully in the future this will help developers build for more than one carrier.

looks like you forgot step 2 in the original post (flash the att loki'd boot image). reboot to recovery using the hard keys (see this post for steps, copy the att loki'd boot image to your phone and flash with TWRP and you'll be good to go. or, you can restore your backup from TWRP (assuming you made a backup).
thank you so much I am back in to recovery and flashing my nandroid backup. I am going to give this another try but want to just clarify that I am doing it correctly. If I understand properly I need to flash the T Mobile firmware. where I need the clarification is do I just simply put the boot image as the second file to flash so that they flash one after another, instead of what I tried the first time which was to flash the firmware first then go back into recovery and then flash the boot image which is what screwed me up first time. Does this sound like I have it under control this time
Why did you do this? The only plus so far I see is you got rid of the att on the left top corner?

Also if that is the right file do I just simply flash it like normal, or is there a different method to apply it? thanks again for all of your help sorry to be a pain in the butt

Nope, I can post a launcher later, I have them working fine on my AT&T G2 running CR 1.1
Also, just an FYI, you can use the Korean version and the Verizon version as well...
But on the Verizon version the kernel is built to read the sensors different and you will need to swap the kernel modules because of this.
Also, you can swap the APN file too before you flash and yo wont have to worry about APN's.
Just sayin....
Oh and one other thing...
I accidentally deleted the boot.img so maybe OP can upload it please?
Otherwise I will make a new version when I get home.
I've spent the weekend trying to make a safestrap rom out the newest update from T-mobile. As far as I can tell everything is working the particular steps I did were
Disabled Wi-Fi in stock ROM before flashing
I'm not sure if this does anything but someone suggested this for fixing wifi not always coming up. I'm not sure if it matters but if you don't disable WiFi in the stock slot and WiFi in the SafeStrap slot doesn't work then mention it in the comments.
Create new rom slot of at least the default size
Flash vzwupdat.zip
Flash root, whatever other mods you may want
The kernel is still the old one, I just added the wifi drivers to the original rom to try and alleviate the issues that kept people from being able to turn on WiFi. I also added the build.prop and eri.xml from the stock Verizon ROM to fix T-CDMA64 showing as the Mobile Network.
Will you update now that the OTA for Verizon has been released?
The short answer is no. The Verizon update is the same software wise as this version. The modems were updated and some of the security binaries are updated. If you use this you are essentially using the newest software you could possibly use. Trying to modify Verizon's OTA to work with safestrap is going to be counterproductive because there is so much carrier specific branding and dependencies. This does include all the same camera updates, but to alleviate some of the problems that people have with call quality I will look into a flashable radio if someone else doesn't do it 25/10/13

On most ports from GSM to CDMA the eri is missing an entry to tell the phone "Hey, this network is called 'Verizon Wireless'." It keeps users from seeing the T-CDMA64 as their network provider. If you do flash it on your dev edition I just warn you that this was designed for being used as a SafeStrap ROM. It doesn't contain a boot.img and may not boot on the dev editions.

My only thing, and I'm new to SS so I know it's something I'm doing, is when I switch to stock slot and then back to where this ROM is, I've lost data on the custom slot. Like I clean flashed. Is there a way to maintain all my user data on slot 1 while switching to stock?

Backing up to a new rom slot is really just to have your stock rom on that rom slot. All that is needed is to create the rom slot and then flash this zip.

Ok, I have it installed and running great so far...but as far as root, which Pwn version would I use? The Verizon one, the TMobile one, or none?
Thanks for developing for us. Stupid Verizon and their late updates!

Just about to post a link for the zip that I flash in safestrap for root.

Awesome work man!
Only one question before I flash this gem.
Does this cause any problems with safestrap??
I only ask because I flashed the tmo ROM the other day with no issues. Had data and WiFi working great. When I rebooted to get into ss I bootlooped like a son of a beotch. Had to fxz back to stock. Saw a few other users with the same problem flashing the same tmo ROM.
Can anyone comment on this??

If you have no issues then I wouldn't recommend changing a thing.

How can this be used on AT&T safestrap?

Theoretically you should be able to use it the same way on AT&T but it may just cause your network to say "Verizon Wireless" in the notification shade and the quick settings tile.

I've had no issues with reboots. I've turned off and on, rebooted to recovery and regular reboots and working great.
My only thing, and I'm new to SS so I know it's something I'm doing, is when I switch to stock slot and then back to where this ROM is, I've lost data on the custom slot. Like I clean flashed. Is there a way to maintain all my user data on slot 1 while switching to stock?

I do not believe this should occur. I would post over on the rootzwiki forum on the SS page because it is probably an issue with SS. Certain user data is getting stored differently because of how the Moto X is set up from what I have gathered. I know Hashcode just change in the new SS where he was storing certain things so that might be part of the problem. Make sure you are on the newest SS and post what occurred over there so hashcode can look into it.

We can't do custom roms without a custom recovery (cmw or twrp). I don't think custom recoveries are available yet. Unless you know something I don't (and that's very possible since I don't know much - lol).
the touch recovery from here works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369998

Do you have a metro pcs mega? And if so, did you odin flash twrp on your phone?
I want to be sure before I try because I bricked my metro pcs mega the day I bought it and never got it back working. I had to go back to MetroPCS and get another one. I do not plan on bricking the one I have now. I don't want to take a chance until I know I can recover it from a soft brick.
Without having a firmware that can be flashed in odin, I'm scared to try anything.

Yes I have the Mega from Metro Pcs. That's why posted the link to the other thread.
Yeah, I rooted and and installed the recovery than was like hmm probably shouldn't have done that with out there being a firmware release but oh well. I'm wild that way.
I instilled it through Odin. the only file from that link I used was this one.. http://goo.gl/J5JAH0
Tested Working 100%
I downloaded the attached file, put phone into download mode and flashed the recovery via odin 307. I fully booted the phone and then shut it off to reboot into recovery which is now replaced with TWRP.
Now to see if I can find a lighter ROM something like extremesperia. I haven't seen any multi-carrier roms for this phone so I am not sure what will work.
I also used the backup feature and was able to backup the entire phone.

yeah that's the only thing that stinks right now. There's no DEV for our phone. We are pretty much in limbo right now. I was hoping to unlock the native tether app.
I bit the bullet and plunged in. I am happy to say (like others) that it worked. I now have TWRP installed on my phone. The first order of business......nandroid backup! Lol

yeah. now we could just get some ROMs going.
I want this phone. The ONLY thing preventing me from getting it is the lack of any CM roms for it. Oh well, I will stick with my GS2 T989 until then.
any of the gsm roms are likely to work on the metro mega, the CM 11 build definitely will as it works on the canadian mega that i have which has all the same specs as the metro mega. the only reason to get the canadian mega in the past was because it was unlocked without a locked bootloader.

these ROMs work on the Metro version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/orig-development
From what I can tell anything that works on the GT-i9200/i9205 will work on Metro's M819N

I'm pretty sure my rom....MegaFire v1 and v2 both will work on the metro mega...bnb25 posted to my forum saying he flashed it and was running fine. Not trying to push my rom but I know it sucks having just a few roms to choose from.

I wouldn't go that far tbh...I'd be somewhat cautious as at least on my note 2...there are several variants and all have the same hardware, but run into issues flashing roms incompatible to your specific device. It's kinda guess and check as I've seen i9200 which is the 3g mega intl have a few minor apk issues vs i9205 lte on my rom alone, much less larger issues like framework and data structures or kernel variances between intl and carrier based. Just heads up from someone who builds for several different devices and hardware configs. When it comes to carriers sometimes it's hard telling what the hell they're doing lol.
One thing major is for carrier based devices of any kind, the biggest thing is the modem...If you flash an intl you may lose the carrier frequency.
