I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but my search on xda and google haven't yielded great results.
I'm in northern Utah. How do I know if AWS is available in my area?
Right now I'm running CM11. Do I have to be using TW do use AWS?
Are all verizon S4's built for AWS or just the newer versions? I have the MDK baseband.
If this has already been answered I would appreciate being redirected to the answer. Thanks for your help!

Try *#0011# on the dialer AWS is band 4 LTE is band 13 this is the only way I have found to verify AWS. AWS was enabled on 4.3 versions, so if you are running any rom based 4.3 or better you should have AWS enabled.

I don't think you can use those dialer codes unless you are on a TW rom.

It only works on touchwiz, not CM. AFAIK you can only check what band you're on from TW. Oh and you'll need the updated baseband if you're still on the original, go check the radio thread in the general section

I used wifi tether that was included on CleanRom 1.75 GBE.
Once I started ththering then it stopped right after that.
I also tried a app called wifi sharing.
I click starting tethering and it shows a msg "start tethering" on notification bar, but never get started.
Tried [MOD] Hotspot AP mode fix for GB/ICS too, not working either.

Should have mentioned that in the OP lol. Since you don't have a Verizon sim, that's probably why setting profile to nexus lte doesn't work. I take it you are a gsm user then? Have you tried setting it to galaxy nexus gsm? Or other gsm profiles?

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.

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

Just curious but why the need for the deodex rom?
In repsonse to the question "why a deodoxed rom"
A Deodoxed rom is a prerequisite of adding the "apn" mod file, from custom recovery, as mentioned in my thread .If noone knew of this issue ahead they would never have working data while trying to use an alternate gsm carrier in their note 2.
Verizon locks the apn settings into the phone for theyre use only .
The zip file mod is 1 way of doing this .Its easier than the adb method of changing and pulling files from the system

You don't need anything deodexed.
There are several ways to modify apn:
1. Via conf file.
2. Via modded secsettings.apk that unlocks apn editor.
3. Change csc via build.prop that unlocks apn editor..

So what would have made this a helpful thread is some details. Like were is this flashable zip, what apn settings do we need, and what ROM did you use I know any deodoxed should work but which one you used would be good.
Now I know these things could be found by searching, but if you're making a new thread to help people it seems like a good idea to include details like these.

I was more trying to help the op. He made a thread to help people which is great, but have no real help except you'll need this stuff without saying where get it. Then says he checked to see how many people thanked him. Great intentions, but not actually very helpful. I'm researching trying to decide if I'm gonna get a note so I really like informative posts not vague references to stuff.

Thanks, I think you missed my point. I want attacking you or your thread I see you want to help and I appreciate that because I have a good deal for a Verizon note and I'm going to tmobile so I've been reading ALOT so I see your capitalized post and expect to find something and all there is are references to things you need which basically say to change APN(of course)
That would be like all the people I've helped unbrick me just saying flash stock in Odin without showing them a guide to do it.
Anyways I'm still curious how you got 3g/HSPA unless I miss read the +APN thread and the other thread onion development I thought all that worked was edge.
Also I think most devs prefer you to link to their thread instead of just distribute their work.

You get 3g because the note is a pentaband
Phone it happens to support tmobiles 1900 3g band and 2100 band
Its a little spotty but works well and when lte rolls out the 1900 band will broaden.

Actually, I was reading up this morning about AT&T ROMs on the Verizon Note 2 and it is not only doable, but also works pretty well. When done from what I just said (Flashing AT&T to Verizon) you are obviously locked out from Verizon and 4G LTE but if you have an AT&T or any GSM SIM for that matter it will work. The only real issue is GPS not working, for some reason our devices don't like the GPS setup from any ROM's other than Verizon's.

I downloaded an app called 'Advanced Signal Status' from the Play store. It says I'm on LTE 14. From my reading today, I was expecting to see either 13 (reguar LTE), or 4 (AWS/XLTE).
I live in PCB, and the rollout included P'Cola and Tallahassee. I'm not sure if I'm under either of those umbrellas, so I wanted to check. Since I don't know what the 14 meains, I'm not sure what I've got. But you could give it a try.
Note that to access the part of this app that will provide this info, you have to be rooted.
Hope this helps.

But found that once I flashed the latest modem and later in the day, found that speeds were faster without changing any settings. Prior to flashing NC5, I was on MJ7 but wasn't getting the speed. Guess it could have just been the time of day and the rollout was still on it's way, but no matter now.. very happy with it!!!!

Make sure you grab the one that says it's the modem only
I'm currently rooted on MK2, stock ROM and everything, and have no desire to go any further than just upgrading the modem, can I install only the necessary modem over MK2 or do I need to do a complete upgrade of the ROM and/or firmware?
EDIT: I just read the last page in that modems thread and people are saying MK2 should be able to take advantage of AWS, however I'm still getting the same speeds I've always been getting. What gives? I'm in Rochester NY and others in my area have confirmed they are now seeing AWS service levels.

You have the MK2 Modem, which is already above MJ7, so no need to worry about that.

How do we know if our rom is taking advantage of XLTE / AWS spectrum?
Also, should we be running the network on Global or LTE/CDMA ?
Advice appreciated thanks

I have just performed 2 out of 3 video tests I plan to do with my Galaxy S4 to address this very issue. All are on the same device. Video #1 is LTE test and, just a few minutes after, Video #2 is testing XLTE.
I have yet to find a "Application" that shows properly Band 4 or Band 13 so we can tell, but the Service Menu DOES TELL! You just have to unlock it. Also, I had previously thought that XLTE was using both bands to double it's bandwidth. This of course is NOT the case. The device switches over entirely from one band to the other. The Service Menu shows that Band 4 mode is utilizing 20Mhz as apposed the original 10Mhz on LTE Band 13. Double the Mhz bandwidth, that explains it!
