Hello I've been viewing for a while haven't posted cause I've had no real solid input or questions but after some in-depth searching for a few weeks I simply cannot find a way to get LTE with Telus and the skyrocket.
I don't want to flash the Telus radios in this area of the forums because it's made for the T989d. That radio will only give me HSPA+.
So I tired flashing the latest Telus S3 radio and for a while I was getting LTE fairly regularly except the baseband version in about still showed the original version for Rogers and I have no idea if it actually flashed.
I recently flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 v4.2 and it's running great and so I went to flash the S3 radio again and about still doesn't show the new version, yet according to TWRP the flash was successful. I have yet to see LTE since flashing just "H" and "H+".
Is the S3 radio really any different from the skyrocket? and if so are there any Telus LTE compatible phones similar (WRT the radio) to the skyrocket that I can take a radio from?
Thanks in advance

Hey all, I've created three video tutorials on how to mod the Galaxy S2 LTE (Rogers i727r) and the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (AT&T i727) which include:
-How to root the phone (Rogers version only, I can't confirm if this works for AT&T users, sorry)
-How to load Touch Recovery (AT&T and Rogers version)
-How to load the stock AT&T Ice Cream Sandwich ROM (AT&T and Rogers version). If you want to see what the ROM looks like and how it behaves click here.
All necessary links can be found in the description of each YouTube video.

Thank you, very helpful vids. They answered a lot of small questions I had which always get overlooked in written guides.
Unfortunately, I've loaded the ROM you recommended and it works however I find my edge/LTE signal drops frequently and my callerid doesn't work... I'm going to try for a Rogers OEM version of the ICS rom instead of this AT&T version.

It's most likely a problem caused with the APN settings since the ROM has worked well for other Rogers users. Of course the most important thing is to make sure your phone signal works great, I get HSPA signal fine (since I don't have an LTE plan), but other Rogers users besides me added LTE settings in the APN menu, seems to work for them.
The caller ID issue has never happened to me (I'm also on Rogers), very odd, well it's better to have it working if it means using the stock Rogers ROM.

there is no official ics from rogers
I took my rogers sg2 lte i727R to a guy who I'm assuming flashed a telus radio. I had him do this that I can use it on WIND mobile and it works 100% on WIND. My question is can I upgrade to ics or even a custom rom without losing or disabling what he did.
model number
sgh i727r
android version
2.3.5
baseband version
T989DTLKJ3
kernel version
2.6.35.11
build number
GINGERBREAD.RUXKJ7
I'm also wondering if there is a different radio or modem, whatever it may be that I can flash that would work a bit better than this one. Thanks guys.
I'm pretty sure the radio has to be I727RUXUMA7, since I'm with Fido (same as Rogers) and that's what my radio band is.
I bought used Rogers (i727r) Galaxy s2 phone and did sim-unlock.
My phone company is Telus and I am using default CM9 radio came with CM9.
I wonder if I can patch Telus radio on my Rogers Galaxy s2?

As far as you know you can, you can also try the telus galaxy note radio. I'm not sure if LTE would work with the 989 radio.

im not quite sure what you mean by "LTE would work with the 989 radio"
You'll have to use the blaze 4g radio, that'll work with cm9

The T989 lacks LTE so you can get the benefits of the Hercules modem and LTE if you flash the note modem. There's a thread on the i717 forums containing the telus modem here.
Here's the modded tellus modem from hercules, no LTE but works great at least for me http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksideroms/files/RADIOS/
Hi,
First time posting, long time reading.
Having issues getting LTE/4G access on my Samsung Note 2 on the Vodafone network in Australia. I am currently running Hashchcek v2.5 ROM on 4.1.2, have a baseband of N7105TDVALK2 and using saberkernel.
According to Vodafone the baseband version N7105TDVDMB2 should have been pushed out with their update to 4.1.2 to allow LTE access.
Does anyone know how I go about getting this latest baseband or getting LTE as a network mode option?
Do I need to obtain the latest CSC/modem and flash with that? If so does anyone know where I can get this from? I have had a good look around and can only find the old Vodafone CSC which I am currently using. Can I just use the Telstra Baseband?
Or am I way off and someone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Installed the following and so far so good. Not in a 4G area ATM but will update once I have done some more testing. So far the 3G speed tests are noticeably better.

Let me preface this by saying that I have searched and searched for an answer, so if someone is able to point me to a relevant thread that can fix this issue I would be super grateful.
I have a rogers XT925 which I have managed to put the 4.4.4 P.A. firmware on after flashing to the RTRF KK update. I love this ROM (although I am a newbie to customs) and all seems to be working fine, but I have not been getting LTE service since the update. The best I have is H+ right now. Rogers is my carrier and I was receiving LTE from the stock JB firmware. I talked with customer service and set up the proper APN (found the info online, but wanted to verify it through Rogers). I have messed with the settings and put it to Global for network. I also did the #*#* thing and made sure it was set to LTE as well. Still nothing. I can only imagine that it is the modems that are not correct, but I don't really know. Has anyone else had this issue with P.A.?
Any one have a possible solution?
Thanks
I don't think the retail France modem supports Rogers LTE. You may need to try the BR modem but if you can't do that or it does not work you may be stuck waiting to see if Rogers ever releases a KK update to use the official modem before it will work again or try to downgrade back to JB.
