[Q] [TELUS] SGH-I317M and flashing ROMs

[razwiss]

Hi,

I'm fairly educated in rooting and flashing custom ROM (First Galaxy S, HTC HD7, Galaxy Nexus), but I've been hit by a little problem with my Galaxy Note II.

I have the Canadian model SGH-I317M on Telus (Quebec, Canada). This model is quite special,and we can't just flash N7100 ROMs directly on it as you guys may already know.

This is why I'm posting on AT&T's forum (SGH-I317).

Yesterday I flashed one of the available ROMs (NOTEorious prime), and everything worked and ran smoothly as expected, except one thing: Data connection. I wrote down my APNs and made sure at least 10 times they were OK. I also reverted to default, re-entered them and rebooted several times. No chance.

I guess it has to be something related to AT&T's kernel included with the ROM, but since SGH-I317M is such a shady model I'm struggling for information. I did my search on the forums and saw nothing clear and precise on what to do exactly.

For now I restored my backup to stock rooted ROM. Unfortunately I was out of time and didn't try an other ROM. But as soon as I'm out of the office I'll download an other one. Still, NOTEorious was very appealing and I would like to make it work.

So here I am, asking you if you encountered the problem. If not, I am willing to dive into the problem with experienced users if necessary. I have never done advanced stuff beyond rooting and flashing my devices, but I'm a software analyst. I can learn.

Oh and, please bear with my English skills, it's not my native language !

Thank you

How did you confirmed that LTE is not working?

With some ROMs (i use Jedi X on rogers) you won't see the LTE icon but 4G instead in the status bar, and the normal 4G is H+

test with speedtest.net just to be sure that you really have a problem.

I disconnected Wireless and tried to search google using chrome. No data connection.

I should have specified that i simply have no data :S Sorry

EDIT: Changed in the main post

i've had this problem on previous phones where data wouldn't connect when flashing a rom... it was as simple as the modem not being compatible with my network.

Try pulling and flashing a telus modem with your new rom and see if that helps.

Thanks for the tip ! Never had to do this before.

It doesn't seem to be any telus modem, but a guy pointed out that using Rogers' work. I will try it out and update as soon as I can.

I have the telus model too and was encountering the same data problems until.....

Flashed Clean Rom 3.3. I highly recommend it. When flashing it it asks you what carrier and you can select Telus. I didn't have to change any carrier settings and lte worked and even had the icon. It is a super fast and stable rom too.
Select the perseus kernel in the flashing options as well.

Try a different ROM like Jedi. It retains your modem on the 317m. and in the case something gets changed, you can also flash the modems as a .zip on the same thread.

The key to flashing att rom to our Canadian devices is having patch designated to our carriers. I always flash Rogers modem with ril and csc patch and never had any data problems and yeah most of roms I flashed to my phone are att roms.

Download modem with ril and your csc from link below and use it to flash after flashing your rom. You will need to flash them after you flash your rom before reboot.

Im still having data and voice problems, actually I just put the sim and it have a little bit of ATT signal and then it goes off with a circle in the bar icon, I already do a lot of things like change modems, rom, kernels, unlock change imei, I order a new sim connector wich comes with sd card reader I believe this is the problem in other case if doesn't work I guess is a hardware like radio or modem failure wich will be a mess because I spend already 350 dollars for the Note2. Just waiting for the sim flexible to come and test if it works. Any other suggestions I will be all ears. Thanks guys!

I'm guessing you have a recovery then if your flashing modems. What recovery are you using. Did you make a backup of the stock rom. If your using teamwin did you make a fill backup with the modem and efs from your stock backup. And if you restore back to the start dose that fix your problem. Sorry just need some info to help you out

Well I made a backup and yes is with TWRP, actually I already have one in CWM too, I dont remember if it have the stock modem but probably not. I start from first backup and it doesn't fix the problem.

If im not mistaken your phone is from Telus and you wanna use att service. Did you unlock your phone yet to use it with other network other than Telus?
