Hi, i've been looking for a custom/stock ROM for n900w8, and I can't seem to find anything. Somewhere I read said you can use any N900T rom, but when i do, my data connection won't connect. Another ROM i tried, the data would connect but the wifi wouldn't work and there was no fix available. Does anybody know where I can find a ROM that will fully work on my phone without much tweaking?
Look for a unified ROM that will work on the Canadian Note 3. Also, it recommend having the latest bootloader and modem before flashing a custom ROM.
Sometimes, a T-mobile ROM will work if you flash something like Lean Kernel right after flashing the ROM and before the 1st boot.
You can use n900t and n9005 runs without any problems. Flash the universal twrp recovery (hlte). If data won't connect, try to manually enter the apn in the setting.

I'm new to flashing custom roms and what not. I used odin and flashed everything to the point, csc, modem,pda,pit the rom works awesome but i cannot for the life of me connect to the internet. the 3g icon or h icon wont' show up. in the status it says my network type is gprs and i'm roaming and my mobile network state is disconnected.
I'm with fido, the phone is unlocked i have never had trouble with data or anything until i flashed to a custom rom.
Anyone have the same problem or suggest how to fix?
Data Conn. Issue
Hey mate,
Have you gone into 'Settings', 'Wireless and Networks', 'Mobile Networks' and then 'APN settings' and entered your appropriate settings?
That should fix it if you define the correct access point.

hey man, yeah i did all that stuff, went in there, found my carrier, put in all the apn settings i can find and still nothing. when i put data roaming on then i get data and the edge icon comes up.
Hey dude,
That sounds strange, flashing custom (or even release) roms is never a guarantee especially with weaknesses in the way that ODIN communicates with your phone, What I would do is Re-Flash your stock rom through ODIN then use the "quick" install method from Darkyy.
I am running 5.6 like you, and I had issues doing it through odin (I kept getting random FC's), additionally, the rom; if installed from CWM will keep your apns and apps e.t.c. along with many settings and configs from the base rom you're using before the flash.
That is the best advice I can give you.
Alex
My config is a follows:
I9000 International
16gb SDHC
500HZ Hardcore Kernel
Darkyy 5.6
Whats the process for reverting back to stock 2.1 eclair rom?
Did you keep a record of your firmware version before reflashing?
If not, you may have to ask someone on here what your base firmware was.
Are you familiar with using ODIN? (The software used for reflashing)
Alex
I am having same issue to...I used 5.4 from Darky and it works well...same with DocRom 4.0 works and the next 5.1/6.0 don't work.
Both Darkys and DocRom are based some JPX....which seem to be root cause..
I've have the same problem. Tried eveything but still didn't work. So went to Samsung Service Centre to have my SGS firmware refresh. I notice after the refreshed same issue of data com missing. Told them and they when into the SGS to select the telco operator setting selection. Now data com. working well. Anyone know the SGS handset setting code? I want to reload to Darky's v5.6 again.
hi folks
i have the same problem... my provider is a virtual provider in the network of our biggest provider here in austria. i was using doc's rom based on xwjpa firmeware and everything worked fine without enabled roaming options.
since doc's rom is based on the newer releases (xxjpx, xxjpy) i' only able to use data connection if i turn on roaming. it also shows me that i'm in a roaming network. i guess the cause are the xx firmwares. xw and xx are european firmwares but i do not know the differences between them. maybe someone has more information about the differences? currently i'm using xwjpa firmware because i don't want to use my phone with enabled roaming options.
hey um i'm having the same problem and thought replying here would be better than starting a new thread.
well i installed the rom without having any idea of what i was doing *stupid idea* so i didn't take note of my original firmware.
i didn't use odin to install the rom just clockwork recovery and the rom and everything installed fine except my data network. i can get signal, call, receive the only problem is i get no data transfer. any help much appreciated. if anything can someone help me step by step to reboot my phone to original?
just for future travellers
Sadly this isn't my own gem, but yeah. hold the power button down, wait for the shutdown menu, above the airplane mode there is a data network button, and it'll most likely say "de-activated" if nothing else has worked. Its ok to feel like a chump, I did after rehashing the hell out of this phone for a few days ( the wifes phone, my phone does exactly what its told. )
Anyway, yeah, this will probably be the reason for the lack of the icon "G", "3G" or "H" where it should be.

Ok so I been trying to unlock my phone to use it with gosmart, so I have been flashing all types of stuff to my phone lately so I'm not sure what caused it but I have no sound or Google now or youtube anything that requires sound to function. Google now and YouTube open but trying to search or start a video doesn't work.
Tried flashing all types of ROMs to fix it to no avail. Also failed at getting it to work on go smart (T-Mobile mvno) as well. How do I fix my mic and sound problems? Also while I asking, since they all have the same hardware why can't I just flash a T-Mobile ROM and T-Mobile baseband and just use it as a gsm device?
I had the same issue
I followed this guide
Spiricore’s Extra Safe Root-To-ROM Guide
search for it and follow it exactly and it will fix your phone.
I had the same exact issue along with my dialer freezing, did this guide and now I am working again. I think when I was flashing I wasn't wiping the phone good enough, this guide tells you to wipe each thing 3 times even though its tedious I did it and it worked when nothing else did.
Nope didn't work. Wiped everything multiple times and reinstall cm nightly, didn't work

The reason why you can't just flash a TMO rom is because they don't have the exact same hardware, there are carrier specific options in the kernel. I repeat, do NOT just flash a TMO rom over your Sprint S4, it will brick. (I've done it to my S3 and it didn't go so well.) If you want the GSM rom, make sure you either flash a Sprint kernel over the TMO rom immediately without rebooting, or (I would recommend) exchange the boot.img files from a Sprint rom over to the TMO rom and remove the device checks. But if anything happens (if you brick) you're on your own.
As for the first question, you can try flashing over a different kernel and make sure it's either aosp or tw depending on your rom. Also wipe data+dalvik+cache. I haven't had that happen to me though...
I have a Canadian Galaxy S4 i377m from Telus.
It's still running stock 4.2.2 MG1.
I want to upgrade to the KANGAKAT 4.4.2 ROM. I've been able to use TWRP to flash it and it seems to work correctly except that the Cell connection drops after the first call and then it says I have no service. For now, I restored my stock ROM and data from nandroid backup.
I have this exact problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49943845&postcount=1023
After lots of reading and research (it's my first time trying to flash a custom ROM), I think I need to update the radio.
Is MK6 the correct radio firmware to flash on my phone? Should I flash the radio before or after installing the new 4.4.2 ROM?
I know the radio firmwares are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667
What the hell is nonhlos.bin and do I need to pay attention to that?
I want a very stable GPE ROM. I won't be updating frequently and don't want to try many ROMS. Is kangakat the best choice?
Thanks for any and all help and advice.

For the modem, if your going to 4.4.2, you want to flash the NC1 modem. It has been listed in various threads on here. I just flashed the modem.bin file only, I have seen people get in trouble flashing the nonhlos file (loosing wifi and such). Just extract the modem.bin file and flash it through odin PC, make sure you take off the auto reboot as it takes longer to flash than odin allows before rebooting. Also when you flash, once odin says complete, boot back into download mode and repeat the flash, not sure this is necessary but it seems to help in some cases. as far as a GPE rom, check Danvh's thread, that one is build for Canadian phones, just make sure you don't flash anything that is just for I337 (US Version) you want to stick to roms that are specifically for i337m. There islikely going to be an update in th next month or so to 4.4.3 so it is up to you if you want to wait for that or flash again.....

Thanks for reply. Are these modem flashes reversible? I can always downgrade again, right?
I'll try this over the weekend.

I flashed the NC1 modem (twice) and installed Kangakat. Voice works fine but I have no data. I tried setting the telus Access point name and the Telus Mobile Network Operator. After searching networks, it finds Bell, Rogers and Telus. I select Telus and get a Network Registered notification but still no data.
I then flashed MK6 to try and again voice works fine but still no data.
In "About Phone" -> "Status" I always have
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
Edit: I made data work by creating a custom APN instead of relying on the preset APN:
These are the settings I used:
APN: sp.telus.com
No username/password
MMS APN: sp.telus.com
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS Proxy: 74.49.0.18:80
I found these settings here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...Iphone-5-to-Galaxy-s4?p=15213963#post15213963
The preset APN in Kangakat for telus was
APN: isp.telus.com
but doesn't seem to work.
I tried this using modem MK6 and everything was working: voice and data.
I then flashed NC1 again and data was still working.
Finally I tried a speedtest using the LTE data connection.
5 MB/s down and 2MB/s up.
Hi all,
I have recently flashed my phone with Phoenix rom v9.0 upgrading from an older version omega rom. The installer went through without an issue but when it boots up it won't connect to the mobile network(vodafone australia). If I go to settings>more networks>Mobile networks>Network operators it searches and connects to vodafone and will work until the screen turns of then it disconnects.
In the install instructions it says if you lose connection when screen is off flash with latest kitkat modem. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
And flashed via Odin modem XXUGNF1. And still get the same issue. Please help!!
It's usually because you are on the old bootloader and are using a incorrect modem. If you are on the old bootloader you need a specific modem to work with Android 4.4.2. Im not sure which one though. You have to search for it.
Thanks will search for correct modem... If no such luck would just flashing the new bootloader fix this issue. Is losing the ability to downgrade the only dissadvantage to doing so?
I have flashed heaps of modems and still keeps cutting out on screen off. I have also tried to find a csc file for my country and carrier and no luck. Thinking of just jumping in and flashing the newest bootloader and modem to see if that fixes the problem. Is voiding the warranty the only issue with knox or will it stop me from flashing new custom Roms down the track?
Hi,
I am dealing with the following issue explained below.
I started off with a stock G900W8. I then flashed this rom, everything ended up working fine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797336
I then flashed this rom,:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-wip-27-9-14-t2889474
but my mobile internet no longer worked, even after I tried manually setting the APN'S. On threads they say if your internet isn't working you should just flash a working kernel but that is so extremely confusing. I do not know what kernel will work with my device.
I do not know if, after flashing my device twice, if it is still a g900w8 or g900f or whatever. I am hoping someone can lead me to a kernel(s) that will solve my internet problem on the current rom i am using.
Or maybe something else is causing my mobile data problems?. BTW calling and wifi work fine.
Thanks.
