Flashing PRL to a diffrent Carrier has been Accomplished! - Thunderbolt General

First off like to thank loc333 on his post found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051950&highlight=prl&page=2
I thought i share a little hope for people wanting to flash their PRL to Metro.
Yes it is possible to flash the PRL to a diffrent carrier. You will have no LTE, unless they operate on the same frequency as Verizon's LTE.
Now my ThunderBolt is no longer a paper weight!

Have you tried to set the radio to CDMA (PRL) Only using #*#*DATA*#*#?

No that does not work. Try *#*#INFO#*#* it will bring up the radio info and you can make the selection there.

Yea, that's the problem here on Guam, I would say maybe around 90% of the houses here are built with reinforced concrete anywhere from 6 to 8 inches thick to with stand typhoon winds.

Is it possible to flash to boost mobile though?

Manual PRL Update Nexus S 4g (Hybrid PRL)

Hello All,
Was wondering if there is a way to do a manual PRL update similar like the Evo or Epic? Reason being in my current location the hybrid PRL fits best for me. So i was wondering if someone knows or may share if there was a similar was to apply a PRL?! "THIS IS WHAT MAKEs MY EVO THE BEST PHONE EVER"
This has the potential to help many Nexus S 4g owners such as myself.
Roam Control Does not fix the FACT THAT I NEED 3g Data as it only works with 1x speeds. I wish there was a fix for that. BUT the only other alternative would be to apply the Hybrid PRL for better 3g speeds.
bump, Usually I would not even do this, but it is important if anyone has any incite on this matter. I am sure there are people that would benefit, WOW 76 views! and not 1 post lol...
Tryed conncecting to cdma tools?
Uncle Jimmy says hello
See if there is a modem driver for nexus s. Use qpst or cdma. Maybe it will see the phone. From there u can push a prl file to your phone.

It doesn't stick.. Set it to whatever you want, wait a minute or less and it will revert right back to bouncing between Uknown and WCDMA Preferred.

after you select you network dont go back. go back to home directly. that should make it stick. next time when you go in there it should show you what you previously set.
Would that really do it? Doesn't that just change how the system uses the ota prl? I think he needs to manually change the prl itself. He is right that HTC has a beautiful way to do this.

I just successfully flashed a prl using these instructions here...
check post #1
Look at post #5
I wish that I would not have succeeded though bc my data is slower and even though some threads say if you are unhappy "just update your prl in settings" and it will revert. Well mine did say it updated by the prl version stayed the same. So I am not sure.
And a restoring a back up does not effect your prl.
Was successfully able to use Qpst to flash hybrid PRL as well I did a quick write uo in the gen. section last night after i was finished. Thank you all for your help!

Does the UCLA3 modem work for Rogers LTE?

I just switched to Rogers with an LTE plan and LTE SIM card, and my area is has complete LTE coverage but the best I am getting is HSPA+. Does the UCLA3 only enable LTE on the 700mhz band? If so, what is the best Rogers modem to use for LTE? Thanks!

Does the nandroid restore the baseband? I know a nandroid restores everyhting else but you might actually have to reflash the original radio that you were on before the UCLA3 version...not actually sure though.
This radio is the best for Rogers everything work great, lte as well and reception is great. At work where I only sometimes got connection at all, I have min two bars now, and internet works perfect. Thanks for makers and uploader
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
i concur.
lte picks up where the rogers modem doesn't I go between that and the telus modem (which doesn't do LTE but has good hspa speeds) It also does a great job in just automatic mode selecting the right band for low signal areas.
Yep I use it on Rogers with LTE working.
Also, someone mentioned a fix where you dial *#2263# to change the baseband to LTE only.. which works, but I stopped getting incoming calls and couldn't make outgoing calls when I did that.. fyi. Maybe it was just my case.

Not only data uses LTE network. When I used LTE data plan I got missing calls sometime (the call went directly into voice mail). Called rogers and the tech confirmed that calls work through LTE as well. If the signal of LTE is weak the call then bounces back into voice mail.

i've been switching between LA3 and KJ7 modems past 2 weeks...signal seemed great on LA3, but i'm not convinced it's good for me....
Consistently past several tests I get 2-3Mb down and 0.5-0.8Mb up on LA3......and if I flash to KJ7 I get 2-14Mb down and 1-3Mb up.....flash back to LA3 and it changes back....and flash again to KJ7 and back to other numbers....
In my area, KJ7 actually seems to be better, and I've switched back for now. I'm mainly around HSPA, not LTE though...
It also seems to be giving me better battery life...albeit we're talking difference of maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour...this phone is a PIG when it comes to battery life
So I've been using this modem since yesterday and I haven't been able to pick up an LTE signal but maybe Rogers coverage map is incorrect? idk but the 3g signal has been great
The only problem I'm facing (which I'm not sure if it's caused by the modem or something else) is that I couldn't send a text message to anyone but myself cuz it would fail... but if that person sends me a text first, then I can start sending text messages back no problem...
I registered for Rogers One Number, does that have anything to do with it?
UCLA3 radio works fine for me and I'm on Rogers network.
To check if your problems are radio dependent, why can't you just flash back to the Rogers radio? I believe it is on the same radio thread.

I tried that twice but when I check under Status it still shows the UCLA3 and not the one I flashed.
Also, I keep setting to to GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto) mode but it keeps switching back to the one without LTE
EDIT - For some reason the APN settings were only for non-LTE access. Changed the apn to ltemobile.apn and now it works

[Q] Can't use LTE on MIUI...

I've tried flashing new radios (which doesn't actually do anything. Still says I'm using the same radio) and I've tried looking through build.prop.
I don't know what to do, but I'm going slightly insane trying to figure out how to use LTE.
It's not in *#*#4636#*#* or the Settings. It's all just HSPA and 3G.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I've seen plenty of people mention that their LTE works fine with MIUI, yet haven't come across a reason as to why.
Please help me out!

[Q] Radio Flashing for Noobs?

So I've been having the same battery problems as everyone else. I'd like to disable LTE on my ATT 727. Knowing that I could force protocols on prior phones, I went looking for the options to find none. So I decided to flash CM10. I learned after flashing CM10 on my device that the radio needs to be flashed also. I've tried flashing a few different radios but it appears that they simply aren't flashing. Recovery goes through the motions but the version never changes. I've read rumors that I need to do a subsidy unlock but I haven't seen any real confirmation of it. Is that true? A carrier subsidy unlock must be done to flash over the RAT locked ATT radio? I would expect that to be in the noob listts with radios if so.
Baseband version: I727RUXLF3
Kernel: 3.0.49-cyanogenmod-g5756af3
Recovery: CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4 _sk8_
Thanks in advance for the advice. I really want to like this device. Hopefully between wakelock and LTE we can get it useable.

There is a dialer code you can use to access radio settings and turn off lte. I don't remember what it is offhand.
This: *#*#4636#*#*
^^Type into dialer^^
Also, try updating to a newer version of sk8's cwm.

This is the same for pretty much all recent at&t smartphones. Last 5 I have had have had that option blocked. There is a possibility if you pull the sim card out, boot phone back on, use the dial code listed previously to set it and then put sim back in you might get the desired results. Not sure they will stick though.

Don't know about Rogers that is why I said at&t. I haven't even been able to get the rat selection screen to give any other option but lte ones on this device. On my lg thrill I was able to get different options by popping the sim out like I suggested but of course that is a non lte phone.
As a side note, I haven't seen much difference in battery life between running lte data or wifi data. I could see this as beneficial if in a non lte area or weak signal area.

[Q] LTE problems?

Been on the iPhone for close to a year. I'm tagging out! Coming back to android and the ultra or maxx has been the device I've set as my decision. However I'm a tmobile user. Maxx has the battery life I need so I want to clarify before I pick one up what any glitches of the device may be on the network. I've been reading with the kitkat update there is some sort of issue with the enabled lte and not being able to utilize SMS/phone at the same time as lte data? Is this true? If so any possible way to remain on H+ without activating lte or inputting apn settings? Or has this been rectified? Lol.....rectified.
Any input anyone has is appreciated. And yes I know. I should get verizon. I've been with tmobile for 12 years. I just can't beat their price right now and I live in an lte city. When I go out in the county it's a different story. But one day I'll jump ship. Maybe intervention is required. But right now I wanna stay with the T.

"LTE Thunderbolt" on the play store will be your best friend while on T-mobile
Works wonders with moto devices, you can choose which exact signal the phone should look for (LTE included)
Great phone period. On vodafone with it right now, used that app to ONLY look for HSPA+ and everything is golden Lemme know if you have any other questions, but that app should fix ya up
Awesome thanks bud. I was a but concerned about that whole hiccup and was making me second guess getting it, but the phone seems to be the best choice for me out of any available android phone. Hopefully this will get worked out. Do you find it a little inconvenient to switch signals or do you just stick with the hspa signal permanently?

You can switch the phone into gsm only using phone info. If lte is disabled you'll be fine on KK until they fix it. LTE/GSM works fine on 4.2. I'll link a copy of phone info to make the change. Please don't modify other settings as you can potentially permanently damage the radio. You'll get HSPA+ in refarmed areas. EDGE everywhere else.

Please don't modify other settings as you can potentially permanently damage the radio. You'll get HSPA+ in refarmed areas. EDGE everywhere else.

Thanks for this! Are the odds pretty good that this will be taken care of in a future update? I feel like I don't expect it since it's not a verizon critical issue. Would this be taken care of in a future KK update or firmware? Thanks for your help so far everyone
I had talked to a contact of mine at Motorola and they were unaware of the issue til I brought it to him. It's on the list of things to fix.

Great! I'll keep my fingers crossed and I'll have the phone by the end of the week. Glad it will be useable!

You're doin it wrong GSM only disables the LTE radio.
If I'm understanding arcanexvi's post correctly it instructs to switch to "gsm only" and not "gsm auto", though it's circled in the illustration. Hard for me to speculate though until I have the phone in hand.
Lol you beat me to it. I can see the confusion though since gsm auto is circled in the photo. It's like sitting in the drivers seat getting directions from the passenger and they say left and point to the right lol. I'll let ya know how it goes when I get the phone. Thanks bud.

If the phone realizes you're not in the mode selected on the mobile network page it'll revert. I have it noted in the thread I created regarding this issue.

Ugh USPS apparently left the signature slip on top of my note in the mailbox with a signature date and note to leave the package with office staff
That's just cruel
-bang head on wall-
Got it working off the bat with your instructions from the other thread perfectly bud. Thanks! How long do you think it will be before this gets tweaked and released?
