I have installed the ViperDNA 2.0.3 ROM on my Droid DNA. I am in Verizon network.
Question:
I know there is a gsm version and a Verizon version for this ROM. I have travel plans and plan to go outside USA (India) and use a local GSM sim card there. Will my phone work with the Verizon version of the ROM if I just insert the gsm sim card? Or do I need to flash the gsm version for the ROM?
I have been able to use a gsm sim card before with the stock ROM. Not sure if it will work with Viper ROM. Please help!

I'm not absolutely sure. But I'd think you would need a contract with like tmobile to pick up GSM.
It's not with T-Mobile.. I am planning to use pre-paid in India for a month on the network there.. Was just wondering if the Verizon version of the ROM will work by just switching to global network..

to what carrier? No hspa support for t-mobile and at&t is wonky at best.
These are not gsm based phones so trying to get them working is a headache.

None, now. But for future reference does 3G and SMS/mms work for t mobile?

Look in the GSM threads, they will tell you.
Flash any sense 4 rom then look up the gsm patch from the GSM thread in the Q&A section, its linked on the first post.
Or you can.just flash the MIUI rom in the dev section, its gsm based and active out of the box.

Or you could check the MIUI thread in the dev section. I think MIUI works out of the box for GSM carriers, except for some data bands.

If you flash MIUI or the SMS fix on a Sense 4 rom, you can get SMS and MMS working on a GSM carrier, but none of the GSM carriers in the united states will get 3G on the Rezound. Including T-Mobile

Look at the address in Settings/Mobile Data/Access Point Names/Internet under MMSC. See if it is an address that makes sense. Like the one for Verizon is: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Verizon Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?
ba-ba-ba-BUMP.
What about integrating carrier specific apps? The Verizon version has a data usage app that works without logging into my Verizon.
I do believe that is what scrosler was doing here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055218 and he said this in the features " Verizon Patch files in a flashable zip can be found http://www.cleanroms.com/downloads/Note2/VZW Patch for 7105 Base.zip This will let the ROM think you are a VZW ROM! Good for the Play Store and APN settings! " But.... He did say he was unsure if it works on other roms in his second post. You possibly could try it. : )
Thanks. . But I'm already using his VZW rom

Any chance that Scott's patch would work on the CM10.1 nightlies for N7100? If I try it, do I risk bricking?

You risk a soft brick. Just make a nandroid backup first and you'll be fine.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Just make sure you don't flash modems and keep a stock kernel on hand
Yeah since the hardware is nearly identical I think the most you would risk is a soft brick. The 7100 lacks LTE though so I'm not sureif you would have data on one of those roms. Tell us how it goes if you go through with it.

Works great in India, although you wont get OTA updates. So, you have to DL the RUU.exe to update the phone.
Mine worked fine in Canada on Rogers Wireless and is working fine in the USA on AT&T. Just need to add the appropriate APN data of course.
it works in India as i'm currently using it
and don't worry about OTA updates as there aren't any
when updates come just put the mode in CDMA and update it
Thanks
Thanks everyone. And please come to this thread, would appreciate any help

I simply unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev, facepalm s-off, recovery, etc.
Then flashed CM10.1 & Gapps. Everything including data is working fine, just having a few common issues as noted in CM10.1 thread such as MMS problems
SIM slot is factory unlocked

I have unlocked bootloader using the manual method from mdmower's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214653
and I'm using Facepalm S-Off as well and using CWM recovery. After I flashed CM 10.1 and Gapps and inserted my sim card the most data I get is E. For the APN I'm using the post from the T-Mobile website here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979
I have also used the *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer to access the Testing menu and change to WCDMA preferred. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks :good:
I've seen a few people saying they've done it on here, and am curious.
Are there any special steps, or does it "just work", flash and go?
If not, do you have to flash radios? settings tweaks?
any things not work?
LTE functioning?
Any info would be helpful.

after flashing, you go through the typical new phone setup. It asks who your carrier is and ATT is one of the options. I'm assuming that's how it knows what APN to use.
There's a thread around here somewhere someone created ATT looking status bar icons to flash for the WWE version..

Running ARHD 6.1 right now, works great no issues. Also updated the radio to the latest, notice no performance change before and after the radio upgrade but I'm sure it's improved some aspects, better to have it match the ROM I guess.

I've tested that Rom as well. I wouldn't suggest updating the radio. Also like the picture above shows there is an issue with 1 bar for LTE, but the dev of that Rom is working on a fix.

Surprisingly I'm now occasionally seeing 2 bars on LTE while at home, last night before the radio upgrade it was consistently one bar. Even with one bar though my LTE performance has been comparable to what I saw on my iPhone, is the bar issue only cosmetic?

I dont know if you can flash a T-Mobile ROM to your VZW Note 2... might brick, read up on that first.
Keep flashing VZW ROMs and changing the APN information if you have any doubt.

Hey I just made the switch to tmobile. All I did was pop my tmobile sim in & flashed CleanRom ACE 5.0 and when I booted up i went to Setting/more settings/mobile network/Access point Names/menue button than add apn. I put the Tmobile US LTE apn in and saved than reboot. I got everything working perfect. Only thing i dont get LTE. But i get pretty good 4g 10mbs DL and 4 upload....oh yea dont forget to switch it off cdma and select gsm in mobile network settings. Hope this helps
So you flashed a Tmo rom amd had no issues?
