Note 5 sm-n920c to US Tmobile Rom? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if I can reflash my 920c to a US Tmobile Rom or flash the modems? I just want to be able to get better signal instead of 1 or 2 Bars in most areas.
Anyway to fix the Low Signal issue??

You cannot flash firmware from t-mobile version, try to enable all bands and test signal

USA update 4.2.2 official

Apparently everyone else in the entire world has updated to 4.2.2 officially. Has anyone from the United States specifically T Mobile customers gotten the latest update yet?

It will be months till tmobile gets it,they only released it a week or two ago, who knows they may skip it to 4.3 but there's no way if they were gonna update this fast they would have released with it,just flash it through the flashtool root not needed

I was hesitated about flashing and rooting my Z, but I just did everything and I am running 4.2.2 and rooted with my t-mobile Z. You can search hear to see how to flash and root.
Root is quite easy. Change some settings on your phone, plug, click and ready to be rooted. Flashing is bit more work to be done but they are also easy such as install drivers for your Z in flash mode (like DFU mode in iOS) to make Flash software to work.

I have the Tmobile 6606 and I tried flashing both German and French 422 updates and couldn't get lte to work no mater which way I flashed with or without baseband and the exact apn settings with lte preferred click. Just won't work for me.
Flashing stock firmwares on this phone is not much different than doing the same on Samsung and HTC phones. A few things to download and that's it. If you've ever used Odin with a Samsung phone before, it's a very simaler process.

You have to keep stock t-mobile baseband to make it works.

First of all he said he tried it that way,second I have updated to the 423,then 244 and both times did full flashes with the baseband never excluded and it's been fine I have full lte with no problems you do not need the 6606 baseband for it to work,but again he said he tried both ways

That's strange. 6603 and 6602 don't have LTE_BC4 for at least t-mobile LTE. I haven't tried flashing their baseband, but 6506 baseband doesn't work for me.

You definitely still have t-mobile Z baseband.
Your stock baseband hasn't changed.
Here is my stock and 6506 baseband. I just flash baseband only.
With 6506 baseband, I don't get t-mobile LTE even though it has LTE_BC4

Uninstall DMCommandService.apk, EPST.apk, Fieldtrial.apk, HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk , HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk , HTCSprintservice.apk
Modify the line in system/costumize/AAC/default.xml sku_id 42 to 10.
Your phone will be exactly as a GSM phone. All the Sprint junk will be gone

so the same gen, almost the same.. flash Russian or Turkish firmware. that's all
there is no other way except the both. I am sure you ve got weak reception. technically you CANNOT force the phone only to get 4g either via any app or baseband model. But you can upgrade your baseband to get really better reception, if available, 4g.

Go to setting then connections then mobile networks then access point names then choose the selected one then bearer then select LTE and uncheck unspecified you are done now

Still testing, but seems to work good on SM-T555 on Nougat.
Download Force 4G LTE Only 2020 from Google play .
Run the application, press the SIM 1 only or Android testing button. You will enter two LTE Switcher options and also 2 Android testing options.
You can try all of them which support your phone.

Yes, if you flash a GSM rom such as the xt1095, it will work for GSM companies. But you will lose CDMA which means it won't work with verizon's service.

I flashed over the latest version of CM and lost my CDMA LTE service. My phone still registers as a XT1096. Is there a way to get my service back? I'm with Verizon. Or do I have to flash back to stock, relock bootloader and start all over again?

As I said in the post you quoted you WILL lose cdma service if you flash it. There is no way to have a stock rom with marshmallow and cdma.

I'll second this, latest CM nightly has full CDMA LTE support. Been 3 or so hours haven't seen any major bugs, or anything that would be considered experience breaking.
Only thing your really lose is Moto Voice, as ambient display works basically the same as Active Display albeit without the slower co-processor.
i think the chop for flash light and twist for camera works better then moto tbh and no real bugs yet either but havent played with it much
I'd love a stock rooted 6.0 rom. I'm stock rooted on 5.1 right now and everything is working great. Anyone have an update on CM now that it's been a couple days? Has anyone attempted to add Xposed to 5.1?
I'm not that experienced with this but I have an xt1096 and unlocked the boot loader and flashed twrp on it then did a clean install of cyanpop 5.0(runs android 6.0.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3277786) it runs nicely in my opinion other than a couple bugs that need squashing

it was working till last week and on mashmallow MID Firmware. after launch of KSA region Mashmallow, i have flashed that. then i installed package disabler pro apk. then i disabled some bloatware's...
from next day my phone does't show 4g. only 3g is showing..
my carrier is Mobily KSA.
settings and APN are correct.
Have you tried going back to KSA MM with a fresh install (factory reset)? That will see if your subsequent steps caused the issue? If not, perhaps try dirty flashing MID to see if that cures it?
