Firmware Flashing - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having problems connecting to lte (700Mhz band 17 ... Same as AT&T) here in Freeport, Bahamas with my note 3 model #N900W8. Would it be safe/advisable to flash firmware for a N900A or possibly one for any of the Canadian carriers?

N900T is USA T-Mo. It is better if you're using USA LTE but otherwise is the same. I'm using an N9005 ROM on my N900T with some mods to make it work.

So you are on the Tmobile network in the USA, correct?
Are you still able to get H+ and LTE service?
Would it be possible to get Tmobile LTE on the N9005 model, by say flashing the modem, radio, or a N900T rom to get H+ & LTE service with Tmobile - including their wifi calling feature that they load into their version of the Android stock TW Rom on their Samsung phones?
Thanks for any help and guidance, as I'm deciding if I should just stick with getting the N900T, even though it seems like there's a lot more available for much cheaper prices of the unlocked international version of the Note 3, and I'm primarily concerned with LTE and wifi calling working on the phone.

I'm using N9005 OS on N900T in USA on T-Mo prepaid $30 plan with a few tweaks, but I still use the N900T radio which gives LTE (shows as "4G" on the indicator though, you can see LTE in phone status). I'm guessing the N900T and N9005 are the same hardware and flashing N900T radio would get you the LTE bands but as I don't own an N9005 I can't say for sure. If other N9005 users say it's safe to flash the T-Mo radio then go ahead. I would stick with the N9005 ROM though as the N900T ROM is full of T-Mo bloat. That's why I'm using an N9005-based ROM.

I just bought a N900T and I was thinking to root and install a custom rom (I don't like the bloat) ;
Which N9005 roms did you try ?
Which one are you using now ?
Is everything working (apart from that wifi calling) ?
Thanks
I was using the stainless ROM which was N9005 stock adapted to run on N900T. Now I'm using CM11 hltetmo which is still pretty early. If you want to stick with a touchwiz rom I'd use stainless, or if you prefer AOSP give CM11 a try.

[Q] [LTE help] i9500 in canada does not have LTE?

Hello everyone,
I have a galaxy s 4 GT i9500, running android 4.3 (build i9500XXUEMK9). The phone is sim unlocked and I am using it on virgin mobile canada. When I go Mobile networks>Network mode, the only options available are WCDMA and GSM, there is no LTE/4G.
After some search, I found out that this might be a location problem, and I should flash the canadian firmware to "enable" LTE on my phone, however I was not able to find a canadian i9500 firmware, it seems that this is the asian version of the phone.
My question is, can I flash the canadian firmware, which is for model SGH-I337M, on my i9500?
Is there any other way to enable LTE?
Thanks a lot.
Samsung was telling they will update ur model for have LTE in differents countries. They didnt mention where they will update it. Atm u have only CHINA update: I9500ZCUFML1. You can try this firmware if u want.

Enabling 4G LTE on N910h?

I just picked up a Note 4, but was told it was the T-Mobile variant when it's actually the international N910H. This isn't a huge deal as I still love the phone and get HSDPA+ so my connection isn't too slow.
That said, I know this phone has LTE and should be able to run on the US T-Mobile network. Is there any way to activate these modems? Do I need to flash a new modem or will that just break my phone.
Thanks!
U have to only model without LTE u can Odin 910c firmware to enable LTE but u won't be able to get LTE in the USA

This could be a dumb question but if I want to install a N910C rom on my N910H phone, Do I just need to download the firmware from sammobile and flash it? I don't live on USA so I don't mine. If I flash a N910C stock rom, Will I be able to install a custom rom for N910C?
