hi i just bought touch pro 2 from telus and im using it on rogers gsm. i dont like the stock rom cant edit alot from it. was wondering if i can switch everything to strickt gsm radio and rom.
No you can only flash cdma roms to a cdma phone. If you flash a gsm rom you will have a big brick. There are many cdma roms in the below link. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=98
ok thanks i had moded the phone and changed all settings to work on rogers.
Hi, I'm new to android and I recently signed up with Mobilicity for a Nexus S 4G.
I've figured out how to root my phone but for some reasons every custom rom I tried is not picking up any signals at all. (except WIFI)
So I am starting to think that it might be the type of signal (UMTS) that Mobilicity offers that doesnt work with custom roms?
Correct me if I'm wrong, and please help me with solutions, Thanks!

Mobilicity is a GSM carrier. Do you actually have a Nexus S 4G (a CDMA device) or have you been flashing Nexus S 4G Roms onto your device (in which case you are flashing a rom/radio for a CDMA device onto a GSM device)?

hmm, on the box it saids Nexus S but when I try flashing Miui for Nexus S, it wouldn't work unless I'm using the 4G version so i assumed that my phone is 4G.
And the phone status says that my "Mobile network type" is UMTS.

If you got it from Mobilicity it's the GSM version (AWS frequency, i9020 or i9020T by model number).
If you've flashed a radio for the NS4G (a CDMA device) or the i9020a this is going to break things.
What radio are you currently running? If you can't get service flash back to a stock i9020t ROM and see what you get. You can grab a full stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
that's exaclty what's happening to me, i got a nexus said to be a I9020A (under de battery), and on the manual says it's the nexus s 4g. the problem is (the same as darkkame) that the type of signal, in the settings says it's UMTS, so is neither CDMA nor GSM i think.
i live in chile, south america, and that's the problem i'm having with custom roms, particulary with the ice cream sandwich one, it only let me flash the nexus s 4g version of the rom but not the 3g one and i have everything working except the cell reception and 3g signal.
sorry for the poor redaction xD

thanks for the clarification, then my nexus isn't really the 4g version (despite what it says on the manual), but for some reason the ice cream sandwich rom acknowledge my device as a CDMA when it isn't so it won't le me flash the nexus 3g version of the rom (brings "installation cancelled" on the recovery), only the 4g optimized rom, but that's when i get no cellular reception nor 3g.
just have to wait for the official ics release then
Redownload the GSM version and verify the MD5. Installation Canceled usually means its a bad zip or the updater-script is jacked.
Sent from my Bionix on the Nexus S using XDA App
i found the problem, because i mistakenly thought my nexus was a 4g version ('cause that's what it says on the manual), i followed the rooting and clockmodwork installing procedure for the nexus s 4g variant, now i reverted the procedure, but this time for the 3g version of the phone and voilá i can now install the ice cream sandwich rom and have the cellular reception
maybe this solution applies for the author of this thread too
Can you provide a link to the rom you installed?
Hi everyone.
I have been flashing roms for a while now and I decided to try out Tiger2Wander's MIUI rom:
MIUI t2w v1.12.23_b20111227
I have done a full factory reset before flashing rom. I live in Korea and have a SKT network signal (just no 3g signal).
The rom is great and it is quick BUT I can't get the 3g signal to work.
I have a Korean Motoroi xt720 and I have switched back to CM7 for now but really would like to give MIUI a fair crack if I can.
Any suggestions would be very helpful. I am sure that it is something simple that I am just too retarded to realize I am doing wrong.
issue is already reported for latest version, look at:
