I tried to search and did not come up with the information I was looking for, but I was wondering what would be entailed in getting WiFi and vibration to work with the att note i717 ROMs. I flashed aocp the collective from the i717 by replacing boot.img and everything seemed fine except WiFi and vibration.
I tried replacing dhd.ko and vibrator.ko with ones from a T-Mobile ROM but that did nothing. Also if anyone has gotten those things to work what was done? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So i doubt we'll get a response but it this possible? I;m about ready to dump this phone and just take the hit and leave tmobile. I have never had as much issue with a phone just getting a stable release. Between terrible coverage to random restarts this phone is just coming off as what i expected from samsung.
It definitely seems like its a kernel issue, I think I'm gonna post a question over in the i717 forum, hopefully get a response. Some of those guys are using t879 ROMs and I wonder if they had similar issues with the WiFi and vibration? I haven't been able to dig anything up. I'm in the process of unpacking the kernel, I'm gonna try a few things and see if I can get this to work. Setting up the environment is taking a while.

Alright, I have finally got WIFI to work with i717 ROMS, now im just working on getting the vibration working. should be able to have that working here in a just a short while. afterwards i will do a write up for those that want to try it. definitely will give people more options for flashing roms.
The only rom i have tested with so far is the latest version of paranoid 2.56 for the i717, will try this method with others after i get vibration going. Other than those two things i have not noticed any other problems with flashing i717 ROMS.
Nice, well I have a device to test and break stuff on. I've given up on what we currently have available because everything I've tested in the last month just turns to **** after a week.

wifi and vibration are now working. I posted a thread in the development section. The fix is bundled into a flash-able zip file for flashing in recovery!
Will this work on tw based roms?
The only thing you should have to do is pull the boot.img and replace with a boot.img from a T-Mobile tw based ROM. I tried doing just that on black star over in the i717 forum and it worked fine, I ran it for a few hours before switching back to jelly bean and I didn't notice any problems with the ROM.

Our roms can be flashed back and forth. Just be rooted, have the latest twrp and flash the rom of your choice. Than flash the blaze ics modem.

Was wondering after flashing a new rom, do I have to flash radios?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
no you don't if your mobile data is working fine. Some rom devs suggest a radio that you should use but it is not needed if all is working
If you're flashing to a different release of Andriod, then yes. For example from 2.2 to 2.3.
I had a Froyo based Rom and flashed to a Gingerbread based, and my phone function didn't work until I flashed a new radio.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Also, for AOSP roms, I believe it's been said that you don't need to change the radios as it won't give better signals or anything. There's some posts around if you go digging to find the answer.
I believe it's only necessary to flash radios for Sense roms.

If everything is working fine then you don't need to. Devs suggest you flash a new radio because they have tested their ROM to work best with a particular radio again not really required if all is working ok for you.
Okay so my friend has a Samsung captivate. He is on 2.2 and I would really like to help him root and install cwm and a stable cm9 build. I see a lot of one click methods but I'm not particularly sure which one to use... I have an s3 which to me seemed easier to root and install cwm. All this eclair, froyo, and gb things are hurting my head.And just driving me in circles. But if I had some direction it would be appreciated. I just want to know what I need to do to get ,root,cwm, and cm9 thanks ahead of time!

I don't claim to know everything but I do know this. Being that he is on 2.2 you will have to flash to gingerbread first and make sure whatever you flash has bootloaders included otherwise you will have a bricked phone at some point along your way to CM9.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Go to that link and it will give you several one click options to get you to a variety of stock GB roms. Also for your intitial root there are several one click applications available that will get you fixed up you should just have to google them.
Yeah I'm used to having to flash new firmware, flashing cwm again then new Rom.that was on my old sensation. But thanks I will tell him to update to gingerbread via kies.then I will flash a custom kernel via Odin then just update to cm9
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Stickies also have some good instructions.
Okay so he just upgraded to 2.3.5 so am I going to need to install boot loader as well? or am I just going to use the one click tool
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
If he is on 2.3.5 GB already, root the phone and flash a corn kernel so he will have a working CWM
If he has kk4 gb 2.3.5, then he has the gb bootloaders. So all u need is to flash a kernel with cwm and then the Rom of ur choice copied to ur internal sd and u will be good to go. So see this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19425513&postcount=1

So even though they are gingerbread boot loaders, I can still flash an ics Rom?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
^ Yep... And each Rom should have it's own install instructions and requirements in their OP as well.

Yes GB bootloaders are the requirement and are even backwards compatible. You should be able to install anything from Eclair to Jelly Bean now without problem. But as the previous response states make sure you follow the directions for whatever rom you are using so you are less likely to run into issues.
Yeah I just ran into problem after problem tonight. Finally got cm9 installed and his imei for changed. I am running into every speed bump possible with this phone

I"m using the AT&T deodexed rom. I'm trying to put faux123 on but all it does is cause it to lock up when it hits the lockscreen and reboot. Sure enough I flashed the stock kernal back on and it boots up fine. I thought all the kernals were compatible

Cool thanks, I'm basically building my own rom, Given the limited amount of choices for this device it seems to be the best way to go. Don't look for it in the developer forum though lol.
I'm basically looking for a stock like experience with a few tweaks.

This is an unofficial Jellybean 4.1.2 AOKP build for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-T879. Its compiled straight from aokp git sources with the only change being adding support for quincytmo kernel configs. Its extremely fast, smooth, and stable.
Installation Instructions:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Flash Rom with twrp2
3. Flash Gapps
4. Profit!
What works:
Everything
What doesn't work:
You tell me.

Did you install the ROM with twrp2? Also make sure you use the twrp2 for the T879, not the I717. If you use CWM you may have issues...
I used T-Mobile 879 tarp..not 717 or cw...
Will try reflash your ROM later a long..
I will let you know

I was also on paranoid's ROM before. As for Kim's comments I'm not sure as to why he couldnt get it to boot... My recommendation is to backup your current ROM, and give my AOKP a flash. Its easy to go back just recover with twrp2.
LMK what you find.

Sounds like you're s=on.
Here is the boot.img from this AOKP build - use this. It will fix your wifi issues.
liam821.com/aokp/boot.img
You can also find the boot.img inside the ROM zipfile.
So...
Do a factory wipe/wipe cache, flash the aokp rom, then install the boot.img with odlin after all that. It should boot then! LMK if it works out for you.
thanks!
liam
So I was finally able to install this.
I couldn't use the boot.img above with odin. odin would only take .tar files and I couldn't figure out how to convert it.
I kept getting the boot loop. What I ended up doing was. I installed the "ps_quincy' rom from another thread. Then I backed up only the boot file. I went back installed
this rom and restored only the boot file from the other Rom. I'm very new to this so there may be a easier way but its def worth the hassle i'm loving
this rom.
Saved for later

Got it figured out.. Good stuff here!!!
Thanks all! The 4.2 AOSP should be merged into the AOKP git soon so once thats all done I'll do a 4.2 AOKP build and get it posted here asap.
Is this rom working? no more bootloop? Wifi working fine?

So I flashed a few roms from here and AF "android forms" using the latest phills touch recovery. No I can only stay on aosp type ROMs if I go and flash a stock ROM, say gt ROM I will get a no service unknown imei,serial,network. Etc. Basicly it shows nothing of the modem. How did this happen and how do I fix it.
