T-Mobile boot.img question

So I flashed my AT&T Note i717 to the T-Mobile boot.img. I think it was "t-mob-stock-boot.img.tar". So now my phone thinks it's the T-Mobile Note version. When I go into about phone, the model number even says SGH-T879.
Will this cause any future problems if I want to flash to an AT&T based ROMs? Will it have any problems if I flash T-Mobile based ROMs? When I flash the radio modems...will only T-mobile radios work or will AT&T radio works as well? I'm just trying to clarify everything before I do something stupid and mess up my phone. Thanks in advance.

This belongs in the Q and A section. As far as your inquiry
So correct me if IM wrong but from mg understanding.............
1. TMobile boot.img
So this is needed to flash any TMobile ROM the reason for this is that it makes the association to the ROM. No boot.img will cause the ROM to not boot up. So TMobile boot.img must be used for any TMobile or att roms if you are using a TMobile note. and att boot.img must be used for any tmkbile or att roms on an att variant of the phone.
2. The radio basically tells the phone what network it's connecting to. So if you flash a TMobile ROM there is a big chance you are also flashing a TMobile radio. If you are trying to use an att galaxy note with TMobile you have to find the appropriate radio in that Dec section. If you are trying to use the TMobile ROM on att network you must flash an att radio.

Got it! Thanks. I have an AT&T note that I'm using on T-mobile...so for future references, there shouldn't be any interference if I decide to flash to an AT&T ROM if I flash it back with At&t's stock.img, correct? So just to double check, I can only flash to a t-mobile radio only if I'm running a T-mobile ROM? What are the side effects if I tried to flash to a T-mobile radio on a stock at&t ROM?

That's about right. I don't think you can brick the device by flashing an improper radio, but don't hold me to it. I have done the opposite I have a TMobile note and have flashed TMobile radio with att roms with various success. In some occasions the ROM boots and the signal varies. It's best if you stick with att roms with att radios as opposed to TMobile roms with att radios. Results will vary by rom

The only way to MAYBE flash ROMS is still in ALPHA testing and it is not a true flash but a way to load ROMS and fake the boot system.
Currently there is no way to flash ROMS to this phone.

its Safestrap right. but can i load other roms from tmobile note 3 or international note3 that doesnt have aroma?i have tmobile.
the reason i bought a at&t note 3 is because i got it from a friend.traded my nexus 5 for it.

From what i saw in the thread about safe strap the ROMS have to be tweaked to work with safestrap so only ROMS developed around safestrap will work.. Even then it is still iffy if they will fully work.

Solarenemy68's reply seemed easy to understand to me. Are you having difficulty understanding it? In case you did not understand it...you can NOT flash ANY rom on the att N3. None. Zip. Nadda. Nothing. The bootloader is locked. Without an unlocked bootloader, you are not currently able to flash a new rom. If you do, you will brick your N3. Period.
If you want to flash new roms on a N3, you should have purchased a T-Mo N3 as that bootloader was not locked.
I hope this clarifies things for you.

Wow! Bad day at work?
We can flash roms using safe strap recovery by @Hashcode . It works fine and even gives you "multi boot" that most devices would die for!
Roms are coming already and things are getting good. International roms can be ported. T-Mobile roms run without much of a fuss.
We CANNOT flash bootloader, kernels, or modems. But with a locked bootloader this is about as good as it gets.
If your going to give someone information, at least give them correct information.

Didn't have a bad day. Didn't intend to sound rude. Your signature indicates that you have a N9005 not a N900A. If I am mistaken, please correct me. I've had a N900A since launch day and have been following the development quite closely, I thought. While the N9005 and the N900T have unlocked bootloaders, I have not seen anything other than alpha testing for the N900A, and @Hashcode has not yet released Safestrap for the N900A.
Please post some links for loading roms onto the N900A, or apologize as it is you that seems to be providing the incorrect information that can potentially damage someone's device. If you are correct about SAFELY flashing roms onto the n900A, I will post an apology to you and the OP.
Thank you.

I do indeed apologize. SS became available on the 16th and the first flashable rom became available yesterday. I missed both.
Apparently, roms are now flashable via SafeStrap. My apologies to the OP as well.

Tmobile rom on AT&T Note 3?

Is this possible to install a tmobile stock rom on the at&t note 3 or will the locked bootloader prevent this? just curious as i'm gonna be moving to tmobile for the unlimited LTE and would like to use the stock apps as well with it. Does anybody know if this is possible? I looked around a little bit and couldn't find any information on doing this.

1. This should be in the help section
2. I've flashed verizon roms on my note 3 without a problem so it's possible. All you'll have to do is update your APN settings. It can't hurt to try it, that's the point of safestrap!

Yeah I'm not rooted so was wondering if the tmobile rom via Odin would fail or not

[Q] T-Mobile to AT&T

I was using T-Mobile and I'm now on AT&T do I need to use an AT&T Rom? The custom Rom I'm using for T-Mobile does work but wondering if using an AT&T Rom would be best regarding the radios, etc.

there's no such thing on a nexus device as custom roms for different carriers. they are all exactly the same, and will work on any carrier.

So you're saying I can use any Rom on this phone? Since there are custom Nexus 6 roms for T-Mobile and AT&T here so that's my question?

Doesn't matter. I've run the T-Mobile on Sprint. Only radios will have a role in your reception.

Thank you! Do I need to flash the AT&T radio along with any version ROM I choose? I really appreciate the help I just don't want to mess anything up.

No, you only flash a radio once. Unless you want to use a different one. Find the one that works best for you and keep it.

unlocking and using tmobile rom?

Hi All!
I really want a note 5 rom. I have the att note 3. Curious, if I unlock my att to be able to be used on tmobile, will I be able to use the note 5 rom made for the tmobile note 3?
TIA

Does your phone have a locked bootloader? If it does, you cannot install a rom unless it is installable via safestrap. A lockd bootloader rules out cm and aosp based ROMs too.

How do I find out? I bet it is locked.

What rom is in the phone? If it is 4.4.2 or newer, it's locked.
