It it at all possible that the only difference between the HSPA only N900 and the carrier model N900a is baseband firmware?
Its not unheard of that both have identical modem hardware and would just need to be flashed with a different one.
Thanks in advance!
No. N900 is exynos and n900a is qualcomm lte on at&t

Not unless you can flash entirely new hardware...
You can't access LTE on the 3G only device, it doesn't have an LTE radio.
Are displays for both models compatible ? Can mother boards be swapped between them ?

Since the 9005 is so close to the AT&T version in terms of specs. think we will be able to flash International roms to AT&T to do away with AT&T crapware? I just don't know about the LTE bands
Hi,
So I will be buying the Note 3 - N9005 (Int'l version)!
How would I go about flashing the T-mobile modem, to enable AWS HSPA+ bands + LTE bands?? And Flashing stock roms from other carrier like maybe ATT or Bell (Canada)! All of this is possible on the N9005?
Thank you !
Are ROMs cross flashable on the Snapdragon LTE models?
I saw a ROM that can be flashed on a variety of the Snapdragon LTE models and I am wondering if this applies to all ROMs.
This is because I come from the Xperia Z where ROMs are cross flashable between the 3G and LTE models of the device, due to them being internally identical just with different frequency bands.
If this is not the case then I will need to specifically find the SM-G900F which is difficult since in Australia I believe it is the SM-G900i model that is sold...
Hello just bought a note 3 N900W8. I believe it's the international version.
I wanted to know if this model can get 4g speeds if I connect it with simple mobile (aka tmobile)
Also what 4g bands does this model phone come with?
Its not the International version that is 9005 .

Thanks for the info.
I read somewhere that Snapdragon 801 was one of the first smartphone chipset where the LTE radio band compatiblitiy/frequncy is determined sole by softwear.
(I know on the older smartphones LTE bands is set in hardware.)
So I am wondering if I can load the moden from G900I to a G900F to unlock more frequency on the G900F?
anyone?
