Hey guys
I am about to get an atat note 2 with the intent to use it on T-Mobile solely, buying the at&t version will save me some cash.
Some one in another thread kindly sent me over to this thread.
I still have a few questions I hope some one here can help me answer
1. Does this rom plus the AWS band thread means full access to tmobile hspa+ speeds and full tmobile features?
2.Would the phone then allow ota updates from tmobile?
3.How likely would the flashed phone be able to take advantage of LTE on T-Mobile when it is released?
I am especially interested in the lte update as I am in Seattle and should be one of the first markets to benefit from it
Thanks in advance and another thanks to hnic32 for turning me on to this thread!

Can anyone post updated/working download links? For some reason these links do not work, and the referenced web page is for sale.
Thank you in advance.
Will be up and running in the next 2 hours or less...

Will running this Rom cause Tmobile to force upgrade Tzone data plan? I am a little paranoid.
Can I get the wifi calling feature via another rom? If so, what's the advantage of this rom? Thanks to for helping a newbie. I just migrate from iOS to Android this week. So much to google.

Same boat.
But I don't think a rom can force you to upgrade the data plan.
Its the IMEI numner which should still stay unchanged
Update: Tried this ROM and everything works fine.
Even got 50GB of free Dropbox for 2 years as a bonus!
But went with scotts custom rom called CleanROM since this Tmobile rom did not let me tether.
It said that my data plan did not allow tethering (I know!)
The deal breaker

After all the trial and error, Tzone is still safe on this rom? Which rom did you end up settling with?
I settled for CleanROM but may experiment some more.
FYI....I have not done the AWS update and will delay that for a few days.

Any recommendation to the best baseband modem (radio) to use on my ATT Note with T-Mobile ?.
Mine is the stock radio from AT&T I1317UCALJ2
Thanks I tried it out, I was getting not so good speedtest plus i lost twthering so I went back to jedi rom

I felt the same way which is why I have gone back to CleanROM by scott.
Its great but battery performance is not the best (atleast on my Note 2)
Have you updated the Modem ? I saw that Jedi has an option for US T-mobile modems (LK8 and LL4).
I have the AT&T note 2 (using this on Tzones Tmobile) and was not sure if flashing a T-Mobile modem would be any good. Don't want to risk briking the phone

Maybe this rom can incorperate what jedi does with the tethering and 4g enabled option while still keeping true to stock rom and wifi calling.....For me wifi calling is the deal setter as I live in a poor reception area....

This is the complete original T-Mobile ROM running perfectly and beautifully on the AT&T I317... (NEW MULTI WINDOW UPDATE T889UVALK8 NOW AVAILABLE!)
-> Wifi-Calling perfecly working with T-Mobile Sim Card... (you need to have your AT&T I317 Sim Unlocked...)
-> If you are coming from stock AT&T or N7105 ROM, you don't even need to format/wipe data... just flash and all your data and apps will be there when it boots! but with T-Mobile ROM! (Some cases may require Full Wipe)
HOW TO ROOT AT&T I317
1. Make sure your phone is recognized by your computer by downloading the necessary Samsung Kies Drivers,
then... Download this file:
Galaxy Note 2 Root Kit
2. Unrar the downloaded file and you should have a folder called "Galaxy Note 2 Root Kit". Inside that folder, there is a file called "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip", copy that file to your phone's internal memory. (you can also copy it to the external memory, but it is not recommended)
3. Put your phone into "Download Mode" by Turning it off, then press Power Button + Volume Down + Home Button (all 3 at the same time) and you will get into "Download Mode"... Ones you get there, Press Volume Up.
4. RECOVERY PART -> Now plug your phone into your computer, and run Odin 3 (Inside the Galaxy Note Root Kit folder you will see a sub folder called Odin3_vx.xx, and there you will see the Odin EXE file)
5. No make sure your Odin app looks like the image below: (Make sure the PDA option is set and click on the PDA button an look for the file called cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5 (inside the "Galaxy Note 2 Root Kit" folder. Also make sure it says "Added" on the message box on the left!)
6. Then click "Start"
7. Your phone will restart after flashing... When it boots up into android... Turn it off again.
8. Turn your phone on by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON (at the same time) and as soon as you see the "Galaxy Note 2" splash, release the power button and keep pressing VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON. You should get to the recovery you just flashed on the previous step.
9. SUPERUSER PART-> Now choose "Install zip from sdcard" and browse for CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip that you previously copied to the phone on Step 2.
10. After choosing the file, click YES (in order to install superuser on your phone... in other words, rooting android)
11. After flashing just go back on the menu and reboot device...
D O N E - > You are now rooted!
- - - AT THIS POINT YOU ***SHOULD*** BACKUP YOUR ROM (NANDROID) USING THE RECOVERY - - -
FLASHING THE T-MOBILE ROM:
You can use CWM Recovery or a more robust Recovery like TWRP in order to flash the T-Mobile ROM. Basically just copy the downloaded ROM into your phone and Flash It. You might not even need to wipe data or anything, just flash the rom and see how it goes... If for some reason your phone did not like the transition from one ROM to another without wiping data, then wipe data / cache and perform a clean install.

You need to have your AT&T phone unlocked (is not the actual sim card) and you need to use an actual T-Mobile sim card, so you can use wifi calling... (since wifi calling is just for T-Mobile and can't be used on any other carrier) With this rom, you can use the AT&T sim card without any problem, just like any other rom, but if you own a T-Mobile sim card, then you can use the Wifi Calling feature without owning the T-Mobile's Note 2 (T889) Because this is the exact ROM loaded on the T889... (but now on the AT&T I317)
