Helping a friend out and I need to know he has a T-Mobile Samsung or a vibrant. They both have the same model number but before I upgrade his phone I don't want to brick it any help would be appreciated
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
What does it say when it boots up? Did you try looking on T Mobile's website before starting a thread? Are you sure they have the same model number?
They sold it to him as a galaxy s but everything I read is that they are basically the same phone just different regions. Honestly just was curious if someone knew the quick answer being it was bought from a T-Mobile store. Did a search but nothing came up definate. From what I read it should be a vibrant
Sorry guess it could have went into the stupid thread

The model numbers aren't the same. Search the model number of the phone and I bet you get your answer.
Ok vibrant 3g model # SGH-T959
Samsung Galaxy S 4g model #SGH-T959V
Both are TMobile phones
I could go on and on about the differences but ill leave that for you to spec out

I'm looking for a new phone and att has nothing that is worth buying right now. Will I be able to make calls on a nexus s with my att sim in it. I mostly run my phone on wifi but when I'm out I just want a descent phone.
Thanks

It has to be approved by the FCC/DOJ/etc. I seriously doubt it'll get approved. Sprint is fighting this. And no, it wouldn't be a stupid idea. It's a good phone, people are over exaggerating about this purchase.
The other alternative if I was to make a phone purchase would be the G2x probably but that phone isn't unlocked so... Nexus S is purely unlocked from the beginning including ability to unlock the bootloader.

There are checkins to the aosp repo that reference an at&t radio (kb2) for the crespo (ns), so there is hope if you have the patience to see if it becomes a reality.

An ATT version is coming very soon from solid rumors, so you really should just wait a few weeks to get the proper working version if it comes out.

Might as well get a G2x if you're going to wait -_-
Thanks for all the input guys, it is greatly appreciated. I think im going to stick with my captivate fire now and see if att brings out anything descent soon.

its not a matter of it being unlocked, you can purchase them unlocked from alot of places. its a matter of NONE of them being able to utilize tmobiles 3g/4g AWS bands. They will only work on edge as far as data goes.

Edit: I noticed the article does not mention the battery size... if it shares a similar battery with the infuse 4g it should be a 1750mah battery.

I didnt know that... but I know I am waiting for more info on this phone. Sounds like it may even trump the SGSII (excluding dev support).
Ok friend lost his HTC epic 4G and got new one from insurance and now he's found the lost phone and is trying to sell it to me. I know it will not be able to connect to sprint due to a bad ESN # but can it be used on a different carrier?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
lmao well while that sounds like obvious fraud if that is what really happened then I would have him bring the phone to Sprint and they can clear the ESN for use again. I would advise against "flashing" the phone to a different service.

Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

When i plug the phone into the pc the phone just charges thats it.Not sure if its the right cord or not.
I ended up finding a unlocker the guys actually called me to make sure what phone I had now Im running with AT&T go phone.I left tmobile because of the service was just awful in the area that I had to move to.Now I can make calls and text with full bars.
I really want to get this phone rooted so I can try out some roms.I sure miss the G2x was fun testing all the different ones it had
you have to buy a new USB plug! Went tthrough the same problem on my old vibrant I thought I bricked it because it wouldn't turn on,I sent it in and tthey fixed it and sent it back.. still undergoing the same problem I asked a friend for help. He said maybe it was the wire And tthat's exactly what it was. It is most likely without a doubt the wrong wire. Buy a new one!

That does make sense.Thanks for stating the obvious
My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.
I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind
Honestly, one wouldn't think the brand would matter. And no 40 jokes...hittin' 41 tomorrow

Nope, the at&t skyrocket vs their normal s2 (I777) was as follows:
Skyrocket had snapdragon CPU but I777 had exynos

SII 4G
Someone said it's a GT-I9210, and I think he was right.
I've got a GT-i9210T (Telstra version, from Australia) and it looks exactly the same, except for a different logo on the battery cover.
Here it's known as Samsung Galaxay SII 4G
