I really want to try cyanogenmod 11 now that I've put it on my dad's Galaxy S3, and it's amazing. Sadly, it appears to remove one vital thing - there doesn't seem to be any way of changing my PRL on cyanogenmod. I need to be able to change it on the go, because we all know that Sprint sucks in places. I just open up the PRL Helper app and change to Verizon or US Cellular. Is there any way at all to do this on cyanogenmod? It's the only thing still stopping me from flashing it. Thanks!
Nope.
Nandroid cyanogen rom and flash a tw rom and then do a prl update. Then restore cyanogen mod.
Maybe Odin flashing

I'm running the latest version of MIUI, 1.7.15 from MIUI.us and I'm trying to access the service menus but the codes that worked on Froyo and stock Gingerbread aren't working. What I'm trying to do is put my phone in Modem mode.
The only codes I am aware of for MIUI are *#*#MIUI#*#* and *#*#4636#*#*. Neither of these brings up the menu I'm looking for. Does anyone know how to get the Fascinate into Modem mode?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
I think I remember reading a post on cm7 from jt...anyways, the post said that cm7 couldn't use service codes because its a feature missing from the rom, whereas it works fine on lots of other roms. now since miui has a base of jt's cm7 its not too far fetched to think this may not be possible unless it can be added to the rom. .the post was talking about using qpst to get at the modem just like you are going to do . but I could be wrong

That's what I was afraid of. I've been trying to find an answer to this for close to 2 weeks but was unable to, so thanks for the answer.
Next question... If I were to flash back to stock Froyo and change the setting in QPST I need changed, do you think the setting would stick if I flashed MIUI? I'm thinking this probably won't work, but I figured I'd ask. I'm not sure that I want to go through the trouble unless someone can confirm that this will work.
Thanks again.
have you tried flashing back to froyo ? i did it by the way, guess what..the 3G data works normally. so i think the problem is not about programming menu, any idea ? i'm a non-vzw user, i bought the phone from ebay and use it in Indonesia
Yeah. I flashed back to stock Froyo, changed what I needed changed, and flashed back to MIUI but it wiped the settings and I definately don't want to stay on stock froyo so I will just deal with what I have.

So my aunt has am AT&T Galaxy Note on T-Mobile and I told the store she purchased the phone from to flash the T-Mobile radios so that she can get 4G HSPA+ but the device is stuck on gingerbread and I would really like to update it to stock Jellybean with Touchwiz? If I use Odin to flash the latest update will she lose her unlock? But then will it need to be unlocked now that T-Mobile has 4G LTE in Las Vegas? I figured all she would need to do is buy a new T-Mobile 4G LTE compatible SIM and then use that but I'm not sure. Can the new firmware be rooted and can it be unlocked if need be? Also, she broke the mirco-usb port so is there any way that I can flash to stock without the use of that port? I'm really sorry for all the questions but if anyone could answer them I would be very grateful.
If the usb port is broken, you won't be able to use Odin. Is the device rooted? If it is there is hope! If not, you're up the river without a paddle.

I know right but luckily the device is rooted and because the shop said they flashed the T-Mobile radios, I believe it has a custom recovery on it.
Whew! I'm glad to hear you're already rooted. You can forget about Odin now. Flashing roms ands modems thru recovery won't lose your unlocked SIM info. First thing I would do is update your recovery. Then you can flash a new JB rom. A lot of newer roms depend on TWRP recovery. You can find that here in the original android development section. Read carefully and follow the install via .zip way. Since you're on tmobile I'd read the post just before this one about JB and what modems are working best. I'm on at&t so I can't help you there. They also remark on what roms they are running. You can follow their lead, or check out all three available roms in the development selection. Again read the developers directions, and make sure the rom is for your device before you flash anything. Then enjoy!
I didn't see any mention of having installed a custom recovery. If the OP hasn't done that he can still update to the latest stock rom using Kies Air. He can get that from the app store.
Being rooted has nothing to do with any of this. Rom flashing only depends on having 1) a pc with Odin and a working usb port, or 2)having a custom recovery already installed.
Flashing a custom rom won't affect the radio you already have, but if you update to the JB stock rom it will flash the current baseband (modem).
Unlocking is permanent. No flashing can change that phone back to a locked state.
Yes, you need a 4G LTE sim card, but under even best conditions you will mostly see 4G only (HSPA+ ).
I might be wrong, but to use T-Mobile's LTE you have to use a stock AT&T Rom. I'm in Houston and we just got LTE here.

Not an ATT rom.... but an ATT MODEM.
That and setting the fast.t-mobile.com APN will give access to T-Mobile LTE.

For real? So I can use a different Rom? Does it still have to be like a 4.0.4 version or can I use something more current?

You can use your choice of stock or custom roms with LTE.
UCLF6, UCMB4, UCMD3 can all be used under ICS, JB custom roms. 4.0.4, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 or the likes. Cyanogenmod, paranoid, slim, padawan, it doesn't matter.
On anything but stock samsung you can *#*#4636#*#* into dialer then phone options to change between lte and wcdma or all. Also available under settings/mobile network/preference.
Those are the 3 most current modems with access to LTE. UCLF6 being from the official ICS last year.

I've been an android since tmobile.
That and being Computer/SmartPhone Technical Support....I constantly try to be in "the know".
Shoot I fix cars now and never changed my oil before 2 years ago.
I tried to update my I717 (AT&T) and have nothing but access to restore or download mode...it errored out, then I didn't do the emergency backup right away. When I tried to do it later, I get about 96% of the way done, and it errors out....

I don't think there is a dependence on which recovery you use but more of a recommendation. I've flashed many ROMs with CWM that the developer recommended using TWRP and they worked just fine. So, long as you do the procedure right, it doesn't matter what recovery you use.
So I took a stab at CM 10.1.1 stable that came out yesterday. Gotta admit that it's smooth and I like it a lot, the only issue currently hitting me is crappy bars on reception (where normally on stock from AT&T I had full bars). I am going to guess here that maybe it's the PRL, and I need to update it somehow. What's the best way to go about it? So far I've seen suggestions that range all over the place and include having a TW rom to do it through. Is there any way to do it from inside my running CM 10.1.1?
not sure about it but i do the same and my phone become useless (no signal) since yesterday so need back to ODIN and stock ICS or GB and hope can save them if not ........................
What's the baseband version?

I guess this isn't really a CM question but ANY custom rom question - how to update PRL when non-stock?
I don't think there is a way to update prl, because at&t does it automatically. Things like *228 are for Verizon or Sprint.
So I was given an galaxy note i717 att version the other day and I'd like to use it on tmobile. Anyways I unlocked the phone and flashed tmobiles radios/modems on it but I want to use a different rom on the phone. Will I mess up the phone if I put a rom on it because i changed the network modems?, and if not which rom should I use with my att note i717 on tmobile?

You can run any rom you like if you've flashed the right version of recovery. There are several 4.4.2 roms available if you want to run the latest. Depending on your area, you may get as good a signal with an att modem. Personally I'm running the BlownFuze 4.4.2 with the UVLG3 modem, with no major issues.

Yes, make a CWM backup first in case something goes wrong. Also, make sure you're running CWM 6.0.4.3 before you flash a 4.4.2 rom

Any JB and up roms, you will need to flash gapps again, but your apps will come back when you log in your gmail. Just read the OP for rom you use and there will be a link to appropriate gapps, though many are the same.
If your new though, I would advise you to read up a bit. Nobody is going to replace your phone if you dont understand and as far as I know, nobody has invented a time machine yet.
Welcome aboard, its fun, but nobody is responsible but you.

Ok. Thanks. Im really liking the community here. I think im going to try and build my own rom for my note.
I never changed the radio for T-Mobile on my at&t note. It works fine. Good luck to ya and welcome to the community.

Same here - never changed a radio. I have rooted and customized a few of i717 and the previous radio seems to either stay on or in some cases such as BeanStalk Rom it replaced my radio. Either way they are all on target with TMO.
Hi folks, I've beem looking forward to flash/use my AT&T galaxy note 2 on T-Mobile as well, can some one please share your experience and the links to flashing or unlocking it please?
I'm looking for a rooted, stock At&t ROM that I can flash in TWRP......Anyone have one? I accidentally deleted my Nandroid and want to check some things and need to go back to a stock ROM.
It can be de-bloated too, but needs the At&t VVM in it.
Thanks!

Thanks, but I'm really looking for the actual At&t official ROM running Android 5.0.2 with all the At&t "stuff"....... All in a flashable ROM, or Nandroid backup.
I'm running ViperOne 3.1.0 and it's running GREAT, but I wanted to have the At&t ROM accessible for if I ever needed it for any reason, or I decided to trade my phone and someone wanted a stock/rooted phone.
Why don't u just go back to stock and root your phone??? That sounds to me like what you are looking for. @tele_jas I need you to try out an app for me. It is used to permanently turn off individual cores of the processor. It is not my app but I use it on my Galaxy S5 AT&T variant to turn off two of the cores.
