Hey i just read this:
http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...te-tweaked-to-support-t-mobiles-hspa-network/
and i was wondering if there was anything like this that could be done for our note. I do understand that we have different radios and processors, but i'm curious. If i knew how to develop and stuff i would do this, but because im an idiot i can't
Thanks for the help

Not sure you can use the same modem for your device too.I have done flashing captivate modem on my international sgs it worked fine.Dint try that in note.But I say please dont try because note is not unbrickable like sgs.Regarding the development its not that easy to do that.And even it would take few months to even few years depending on your understanding capabilities.Though I'm not a full developer I make my own roms for my sgs so I know it to some extend

I had the same curiosity as you because I really wanted the Note for T-Mobile. From my understanding, the reason phone makers that make identical phones internationally and then make the same phones in the united states but choose a different CPU is because the SOC have the frequencies that support the country. I.e. Tegra 3 vs S4 Qualcomm and Exynos vs S3 Snapdragon (the latter for the US)
I would be really interested to know if someone has successfully flashed a radio for the Samsung Galaxy Note I7000 international version for T-MOBILE.
So it would not be possible to flash the i7000 radio to our notes, correct?

hi fellow XDA peeps,
Please don't bash me... i did some research but still need a bit of advice....
I am interested in purchasing a Note 5, can someone tell me which version/model of the Note 5 is the best for modding and would most likely be the one with lots of custom roms?
I know it might be a bit early to say this but, I'm hoping that you guys can still give me some advice. I did some research and saw that there is a custom rom or two out right now, especially here on XDA but, i noticed this is specifically for the N920 I/C/G. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/n920i-dr-ketan-rom-l1-t3195076
Also, I read that the T-Mobile version comes with an unlocked bootloader. Does the other models come with an unlocked bootloader as well?
I would greatly appreciate your help guys and any other advice concerning Note 5 versions/models, modding, custom roms, unlocked/unlocking bootloaders is most welcomed.
sooooooooo......
1) best version/model for modding and most likely to have most custom roms?
2) which version/model comes with unlocked bootloader/s?
Many thanks in advance,
Ronald

"Best for modding" is irrelevant if you can't use the phone for voice/data. So, why not start with telling us where you're physically located and what carrier you have. That may significantly limit your choices.

thx buddy.
I'm located in the Caribbean, we have blazing 4G networks and excellent voice/data services. My present carrier is Digicel but we also have Bmobile (TSTT) here.
I ask "best for modding" because I'm big on installing custom Roms and having full access to the device and what it could do. I could be wrong, but from my understanding devices with unlocked bootloaders are the preferred choices for developers to work on, mod, etc.
thx,
Ronald
Here's the best I can offer you:
Head to this website: http://www.willmyphonework.net/
The following devices have more support on XDA than the others: n920t (tmobile - but they come sim-locked), n920i, n920c. Find the device that works best with your carrier. Eliminate the tmobile choice if needed due to it being sim-locked.

garyd9......WOW! EXCELLENT site for checking device network compatibility>>>>WOW!
thanks a million buddy...after all the research i did, i too came up with exactly what you said above........thanks again....cleared up things a lot. Guess i was on the right track, i have an unlocked n920t, n920i and a n920c in my ebay cart. However, i checked and ALL of them resulted in a (X) by the 4G symbol.... ................... All those models will work fine up to 3G network here though not sure if our 4G network is really 4G....lol....long story
if its not too much though, which would you go with?
thx,
Ronald

Quite honestly, I'd do my homework and whatever google searching required to find out which LTE bands are supported by the carrier or carriers I use. Then I'd make sure that whichever model I got supported those LTE bands.
Quite often, a carrier might still be rolling out support for an LTE band and it doesn't show on that site I linked to. For example, AT&T in the US is rolling out LTE bands 5, 29 and 30 in some regions, but that site knows nothing about them.... (I can excuse band 29 because it's used for downlink only, and band 30 because they JUST started rolling that out in very few areas.)

nice nice, thanks for the heads up....this what our networks here runs on:
http://roamtheworldcellphones.com/gsmtrinidadandtobago
http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3
But, the issue is not really the band/s though, its the version that most likely developers would choose to work on and have lots of custom Roms/developments? whatever model that may be, that is the model i would i like to buy. For now it seems like if i can't obtain an unlocked N920T then the next best variant should be the N920I, then N920C. Correct me if I'm wrong in anyway please..lol
again, many thanks for such informative advice and for taking the time to reply.......thx buddy

At this instant in time, the 't' seems to have the most attention. The 'i' and 'c' are mixed... I wouldn't be willing to say either gets more attention than the other.

Figured so, I think I just might get the N920I, just to be safe...lol
In my experience with rooting, installing custom roms etc. I noticed that most international models are the preferred choice for developers to work on, plus, updates are much faster ..... again, correct me if I'm wrong....lol
Hello,
I am thinking of buying a Note 9, and from what I've read both of these models are bootloader unlocked and so both are rooteable.
Rooting is very important to me, as well as a good GPU since I play plenty of games. I am also very excited about the possibility of using DeX as my main computer, possibly with arch on it (I've read that it's possible to a degree). I am also living in latin america.
Here are the main points I've gathered from reading quite a bit on the similarities and differences between these models:
* The N960F has a faster CPU BUT the N9600 has a faster GPU.
* The N9600 has a better battery life.
* Both perform quite the same in real life.
* The N960F has a way more active modding community (judging from the amount of threads over here at XDA)
So... I feel like the N9600 is the better choice because of the battery life and the GPU (in my case). The only thing that's making me have my doubts is the inactive modding community in here.
Is there any particular reason why there is currently pretty much no modding being done on the N9600, compared to the N960F, if both are rooteable? There are no kernel threads for the N9600 and only one ROM thread.
Overall, which model would you say is better for my particular situation, and better in general?
Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere around here and thank you.
If u want multiple custom Roms then best to go with n960f.... Forget the other benefits of n9600

stick with the N960f version, faster updates too .
n9600 to n960f
I have n9600 - N9600ZHU1ARK1 - Brazil - ZTO, and would like install N960FXXS2ARK2 in my n9600. I can?
N960F/DS ftw

Absolutely not. They aren't even the same processor. If you somehow magically got a N960F firmware ro flash on the N9600, you would wind up with a brick.
Hey Everyone!
I pretty much have had the Note 9 since it came it, and i always keep on eye on the forums for Roms and stuff.
I have the Snapdragon CPU and i just thought that the development for Roms was off to slow start but then i checked Exynos Forums and they have so many Roms. i was just curious if anyone could tell me why that is. also i thought that the Snapdragon Cpu was the one everyone would prefer. Thanks in Advance for everyone that is able to discuss this with me.
US snapdragon versions have locked bootloaders. Not very many other regions with snapdragon. The Exynos version is the international version, so I believe there would be more of them and they have a boot loader that can be unlocked.

Hi everyone,
Can anyone please tell me the difference (if any) between the SM-T710 and SM-T713 models of the Galaxy Tab S2?
I only ask as I've seen some ROMs with the SM-T710 listed as a compatible device but the SM-T713 not listed. I've entered the model numbers into the search tool on XDA but haven't yet found any info discerning one from the other.
I tried GSM Arena website and all it shows me is that a 713 exists, but not the differences between them.
Basically, the opportunity to buy one has come up, but I want to make sure I get one that'll have better custom ROM support. So far that's looking like the 710, but will 710 compatible ROMs not work with (or possibly even damage/brick) a 713?
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.
Thanks!!

The T713 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, which supports the G3/G4/LTE radio for mobile network connection.
The T710 has a Samsung Exynos SoC.
They have similar CPU specs, but different peripherals (the radio modem stuff, different GPU, etc.)
Hope this helps.
