Does the bootloader need to be unlocked in order to flash a stock t mobile ROM I'm on 4.3 rooted and can't get very good data connection with T-Mobile. Its always going from 3g/h+ then to no data to where I can't even use the phone

I dont notice it in my area, this phone has better service than any other i have used on VZW, you want want to update your radio and see if that helps. You could also go into Settings/More Settings/Mobile Networks/Preferred Networks and change it to CDMA/LTE/EVDO instead of Global mode.

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what carrier will work my Note 3. I bought it for brand new for $300 form someone on cl. I've researched a lot but since I'm not on sprint i cant get it internationally unlocked to use it with gsm networks. So can I flash to use cricket or metro pcs without a sim card? And How would anybody do it themselves?

But I cant do this without first having an account with either of them right?
Cause as of right now, I dont have any carrier, would I have to open up an number?
Correct, you would need to set up service...can't just piggy-back on a network with a deactivated device.

Pop over to the forum I referred you to earlier, they'll be able to give you better feedback.

I was having an issue getting into the recovery. I flashed a boot.IMG I found in one of the ROMs I downloaded. I fixed the issue of being able to get into recovery but now I have no 4g service, only 3g. Should I flash a different boot.IMG or something else? Need help.
I used fastboot erase cache to fix the recovery issue.

You can't use flash different boot.img from different roms.
What I would do it flash a stock based rom. After it boots factory restore it. hat will then replace all the system partition from there then flash the desired rom you want. See if that fixes it.
Downloading the rage dna rom right now. Going to give that a shot.
well, tried that with no luck. Still on 3g.

Rage DNA isn't a stock based ROM? Could you point out what ROM I should use then rather than just telling me I'm doing it wrong?

Worked for me, I had the same issue. Pretty much the only problem I've ever had with this device.
Good luck. :good:
I did the instructions on the page you linked but that didnt make a change. Still no 4g. Just ran the 3.06 RUU exe but that didnt make a change either.
Then I guess you got a hardware problem, or there is no 4g in your area at this time.
Or you need a new SIM card.

When I have lte turned on and late shows in the status bar next to the signal I have no mobile data, I cannot make a call or get online. Pull down the quick toggles and under lte shows no service.

I have unlocked my phone and switched over to AT&T temporarily while away from home because T-Mobile is still stuck on edge where I summer. AT&T has strong lte in my area, yet I'm only able to connect to 4G. I've changed apn settings around and I know the g900t supports all the same bands as g900a... I'm assuming this is a firmware issue, any additional insight is welcome or solution if anyone is in the know.

I'll also gone into service mode by typing *#2263# in the dialer and attempting to manually connect to the AT&T lte bands, I get bars but no data.

You need to have your SIM card provisioned for LTE. You'll have to supply AT&T with an IMEI for an LTE capable device. It doesn't have anything to do with your firmware or device.
Have you tried going into the dialer going *#2263# and manually selecting the LTE band there?
I've called at&t and told them about the provisioning issue and they told me that my phone was properly provisioned in the system for lte. However, they probably just said that so I'd go away haha.

Yeah probably.
That was gOing to be the next thing I would have suggested.
Sounds like something in their network is not allowing it to connect then.
I went into att and had one of tnt worker scan in his imei for me and now everything is good, I'm not sure if he changed any of the digits tho, but I have lte now so that's good!

I have mine flashed to Cricket, but only because I have an older CDMA number that I have been sitting on for years. AT&T just bought Cricket in May, so they are in the process of converting from the CDMA network to the GSM network. So that means all new Cricket activations have to be new GSM numbers and they are no longer activating new MDN's on the old CDMA network. With that said, I believe there might be a way to unlock this device for GSM use. I've seen threads about it. I'd recon all you'd need is the new Cricket APN settings to manually program for data, and I'm sure you can get a hold of that easily. I will have to eventually convert over to their new GSM network too, so I have been thinking about unlocking it using the methods in another thread. If I decide to do so within the next week I'll let you know how it turned out.

Yes u can Unlock it for any GSM carrier and get HSP+ or you can flash(manually reprogram CDMA devices) to any CDMA carrier such as Pageplus Boost Mobile or even old MetroPCS CDMA network..the GSM unlock is the easiest if ur not a custom to flashing devices[emoji4]
Can you help me do it
