So I had a stock 4.3 mk6 then I decided to root and unlock my phone for the T-Mobile network. When I Odin back to 4.1.1 I unlocked everything went smooth and I did the aws mod, and was getting LTE with T-Mobile. So then I root it again Odin the 4.3 param. Tz to flash a 4.3 ROM. After the flash I don't get LTE no more. Went back to 4.1.1 to see if I would get it nothing again. So now I'm stuck with 4G and haven't gotten LTE since the first time I unlocked it.


So anybody know how to get T-Mobile LTE back on my AT&T note 2.?

Check the Phone status for a true indication of your connection. Depending on which ROM you flashed the icons will vary. Some of the ROMs that are N7105-based show 4G but mean LTE.

Yeah I do it only says HSPA no LTE. And In notifications it goes from h to h+ never 4g and I have DN3 ROM right now. With mk6 modem with no AWS mod.

Guessing you have the proper APN set? I get LTE on both epc.tmobile.com and fast.tmobile.com. Running SkyNote Air with AWS Mod.

I'm in New York! Have you tried the modem code or radio code to see if you can force a connection?

DN3 Rom is based, off of the N7105 NOTE 2 that's the reason you don't see LTE. If you see 4G that means LTE in this ROM. I am also using this ROM with at&t and whenever I get LTE speed it shows 4G.

You can change it by changing your build prop setting to get lte. But if you do then your contacts will force close and I also read in DN3 thread that you will lose your phone app/dialer and have to use play store dialer.

Yeah for dn3 if it shows 4g it is lte. Because of the ROM's data icons being international. Mine is just showing h to h+. :-[

That 4g icon on the DN3 is LTE. It's that way because it's based off of the international firmware...:)

Just a reminder you can check you LTE connection by going to:
Setting, General, about phone, status, check connection there.:eek:

Check APN settings. Also, do you have Network Mode as "LTE/WCDMA/GSM". Even I was not getting LTE initially but then I tried different APN settings and finally I am getting LTE.
