Run a SR on Tmobile H+ Network?

Hey I was just wondering if it was possible to unlock a Skyrocket then flash a Tmobile radio and receive H+ data speeds. How would I go about doing it? Which radio would you suggest? Thanks.

Nobody? Theretically it could be done but I just want someone to confirm for me.

After unlocking phone someone tried running t-mobile sim and he said only edge but he did not flash t989 radio so idk. If i can unlock it for free i will try it and let you know.

I have an opportunity to get my hands on one of these phones very soon. I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile's network. If it is not a bother, could you verify this? I wouldn'' want to be responsible for you bricking your phone, but I would be most appreciative for the information on it's possibilty if you know what you are doing.
It is unlocked.

What do you need me to verify?? I m confused !
Because you can run t**** on i727 with edge network plus you can flash t989 radios on i727 i done that before but not with t**** sim card.

its not possible because t-mobile radios for skyrocket dont exist, so you can't flash an other radio for tmobile as it wont work and you migh just end up screwing your phone. tmobile sucks man, change to anything else.......if you like good hardware that it

Yes they exist what you talking about!! YOu can flash them. Here you can dload and flash it through cwm.

Well Da_G and irc team tried it so it works. IDK how it will work with tmobile sim because no one had tired it yet.

HSPA+ will not work with the Skyrocket no matter if a radio exists or not. The simple reason is that supported H+ frequencies are 1700 for download and 2100mhz for upload and skyrocket only goes 1900mhz and 2100mhz. So unless you are able to enable the 1700mhz frequency, 4G or 3G will not work with the skyrocket! Edge is the only frequency that will

Its already been proven that the SR has the 1700/2100 bands, just not enabled in software. Its why we can flash their modems and it works perfectly fine.

Thank you! I don't get the reason why new ppl don't listen!! Its like look son trying to argue with his dad who has twice experience!! Noob should just listen rather than arguing. No personal offense but i had so many ppl with the issue like this.

I'll be travelling to the states next week and will flash either the Telus or Tmobile radio to use Tmobile's prepaid plans. If no one's replied back to you by then, I'll let you know what I find.
However, there are already reported success of people with SR and the Telus radio using the phone on Canada's 1700 AWS network (Wind).. so pretty sure it'll work. Flashing the radio is safe as well, I've already done it once.

Well make sure you do nandroid before flashing that t989 radio. Plus he wants to know how it will run with tmobile sim card and t989 radio on unlocked phone.

Yep, I'll definitely make a nandroid backup before flashing.. and try both the Tmobile and Telus to see which one is better.

Thanks I appreciate it

OK, I'm in Orlando now and got the T-Mobile prepaid plan...I flashed the T-Mobile vk1 radio and for some reason, I can't connect to any data. I wasn't even able to go into the mobile network settings screen to see the apn settings. Got a msg to insert a sim card to access services...
I then flashed the telus radio and got 3g right away. Speeds are pretty pathetic tho...only 2m down...maybe I'm just too spoiled by lte
Anyways, it's been a long tiring day so I won't do anymore testing right now..maybe tmr I'll try the other kl1 T-Mobile radio.

Thank you sir. This is what I feared-hopefully the other radio serves you better.

So no update on how the radio worked?

Need help from Bell Sensation user!!

Hey guys!
I S-OFFed a new Sensation and got to flashing ROMs after a lot of difficulty. Cleared the SIM Lock and then noticed that I can't get anything outside of GSM. No Edge or 3G.
I just need to know which Radio, Baseband and RIL you guys are using? I've got Virtuous Inquisition and have used their recommended radio. I've made sure the appropriate RIL files are flashed and have probably tried about 15 radios... I'm really lost here and have been beating my brains over it for almost 24 hours now.
If someone could help me ASAP I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not a rich man (especially considering that this is a full out purchased device... wife BROKE her beautiful Atrix that I rooted and had CM7 on ) but I'll throw some cash down to buy you a beer lol
Thanks, guys! I'll keep searching in the meanwhile. Wife is in school and working so it's really tough not being able to stay in touch especially with the kids needing looking after. Cheers!

Do you have your service providers APN added to the phone?
I use Virtuous Inquisition and it automatically deleted all APN's I had for Fido so I had to readd the Fido APN for data and the Fido MMS APN.

I'm on virgin Canada, wich is Bell. I'm using the 3.3.0 firmware, and associated radio -11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M. I've never had to flash a different ril. Are you sure you have the proper son as above poster asked? Strange problem I've flashed every radio and Rom out there and never had a problem. If you need apn settings let me know and ill post for you.

Thanks, man. Definitely have the right APN settings. Tried with my SIM card as well and even went as far as trying to switch bands and tons of other things.
I'm going to try flashing this firmware and radio and I'll make sure it's got the corresponding RIL. May try another non-ICS ROM just to be on the safe side. Thanks, fellas.

T-mobile 4g Radio

OKAY so I decided to update this thread:
There are two versions of the One X. One with aws bands and one without. I have a device without AWS (I am about 80 % sure). There are reports of people getting 4g on AWS with the Rogers Version as of now, and more testers need to check it out as it could still be possible on ATT.
This flash here theoretically could enable the One X radio to lach onto AWS (The radios here are for the One S Ville.)
http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42
I have flashed all three, and although I did not get 4g, I got faster ping and a near immediate connection onto T-mobile. To all the people saying this will "brick" the phone, it does not and you have nothing to worry. But as always make sure to do a backup. The radio hacks for the Skyrocket/Note were also based on flashing the Galaxy S2 radio directly on top. This should work the same.

I'm interested in this as well. What does is involved and the risk? I don't have warranty on my phone, so I'm a little bit leery in being first.

if your rooted ull should be fine just make a back up of ur current set up. this is just a clockwork flash, it may not even flash, but if it does then there's a high chance of 4g.
i've done radio hacks before for the droid 3/skyrocket/note all from a similar concept. ex. flashing the t-mobile galaxy s2 radio on the note, to enable 4g.
if anyone could provide me with a better solution for an unlock i am sure i can get this to work. seems that the htc unlocker server is down right now
it's the same thing as flashing different radios via clockwork posted in the One X android dev forum

I'll give it a try, hopefully it won't mess anything up. So I just flash the radio in recovery. If no good, I just flash the correct radio again?
There is a one click no HTC Dev bootloader unlock in the Dev forum.

I flashed:
Radio from RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2 [Recommended] (update by rhcp)
0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L
From your link. It flashed correctly. The phone on data and voice still works. I confirmed the version in Settings is not my original:
0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L
I'm still on Edge, but I'm in a crappy cell area, so still not certain if radio or my area. I might give the:
Radio from Stock T-Mobile US (update by rhcp)
0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L
Radio a try too.

good to hear no negative results got my phone unlocked so i will be testing tonight. also do u guys have the newer sims or older ones?

I have an older sim I believe. It is one that came from an activation kit I bought off ebay. I tried the T-Mobile radio and same results, still on Edge, but still could be my location.

What in gods name are you guys doing! ? Are you trying to brick your phones? It's already been confirmed that the hardware on this phone does not support the proper bands for T-Mobile 3g!

It's not just the SOC that determines hardware compatibility. There are various radio amplifiers and filters which are tuned to the specific frequencies that the phone is likely to encounter. If a phone is going to be sold in multiple markets, sometimes the hardware filters are set up for all frequencies and some are disabled via software, but often times this is not the case.
It's not impossible that a radio reflash can make it work, though highly improbable.

Interested in this. There might be better luck flashing the tmo radio since I don't think any European operators use AWS bands, correct me if I'm wrong.
Can anyone explain why flashing this radio from a different device won't brick our phones?

I have a tmobile one s, but i also have the one from att and i am so interested on using this phone over tmobile 4g let me know if i can of help. I am using my micro sim that came with the one s and i am getting edge (asume its the latest from tmobbile 4g mucro sim. I am on 1.85 rooted but i did not unlock. though i am sure we can flash through CWM. any ways i am sure there is a way out to get 3g or 4g on the one x on tmobile did not find the way yet.

flashed both of the t-mobile modems no luck for me either, although my ping is significantly higher and connects to t-mobile a LOT quicker.
does anyone know how to edit the LTE settings. it is odd but for most ATT LTE phones they have the 1700mhz frequency i think it would be a matter of just defaulting that....
the radios also show up in my baseband so i have successful flashes
EDIT: one more thing, before i was not able to use data at all considering i had the newer t-mobile sims but now data works but on edge speed.

it's just a file in your system. it could potentially brick your phone but you can always get into recovery and restore. which is why i stated you should create a back up of your device before trying it out.
however, i was fairly certain it wouldn't do that because the internals of the One S/One X are nearly identical, they both share the same processor and most likely similar (if not same, radios).
either way, the the radios work, getting me higher ping, and working data without having to switch out my sim for an older one, hope there is a way to activate the 1700 band !
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_x_at&t-4614.php
EDIT 2: apparently there are two models of the ATT One X/XL one with the 1700 band and one without

Likely the software has been changed to support T-Mobile, but the hardware (filters, amplifiers, etc) are non-existent, so you'll never get actual 1700 MHz AWS support.
Of course, this is just a 50,000 foot view perspective without actually trying it myself.

you might be right about this one but there are certain One X/XL's that do have the 1700 band found out through some searching and trying to figure out the reason behind it.
If that's correct.... the people with the 1700 band would have 4g when they flash this radio! also use *#*#4636#*#* to change network type to lte/gsm
--- for other phones though like the Skyrocket/Note they were directly compatible with T-mobile radios.

Okay, I flashed the Tmo One S radio and did not receive a brick. What I did receive is a not-so-good connection that will switch between HSPA+ and 3G quite often.
I don't have a WIND sim to test with, but I tried running AT commands on my phone and they don't seem to be working. I tried doing a network scan with AT+COPS=? waited forever and had nothing displayed.
Strange...

Rebooted and ran the commands again. Still don't see any AWS carriers.

Don't you need a wind sim to connect im pretty sure the Canadian version will work on aws

Confirmed on my end that even with the T-Mobile radio, I'm not getting HSPA+. Even when I drove by the Moscone center where 1900Mhz was refarmed during Apple's WWDC (maybe it was just that day?). I was hoping this would be like the Note and Rocket where I can flash different radios.
Any other new phone capable of this? The S III? If not, I may have to either wait for 1900MHz refarm or switch to Straight Talk.

I'm not exactly sure of this one.
If someone is willing to let me cut up their WIND sim (or lend me their WIND microsim), I'll re-flash the tmo radio and meet you somewhere to test it (Toronto, please).
~dan
-----edit-----
Just popped in an old WIND sim that I used to test AWS connectivity at first. Saw WIND Away with the standard radio, and after flashing the Tmo radio I see WIND Away and AT&T (AT+COPS=? shows Rogers, ATT, Telus, Bell).
I live by the lake, that would explain why ATT shows up.

Please Help with Telus LTE and this phone

Please If anyone could direct me to the answer I'd be eternal grateful. here is my issue and I'm not the only one with it there are a few of us.
Bought a Rogers HTC ONE X on launch day Unlocked it and hooked it up to the Telus network. right from the begining the phone would not connect to the Telus LTE network for what ever reason I doen know it should be compatible.
I've bounced around from every rom in this forum some would let me phone connect to LTE but only 10mbps download until I cam across KingCobra 1.2 based on Asia 1.88 (other roms at the same time were based from this same build) with this rom and the included V6 supercharger in the aroma installer my LTE came to life and my download speeds were 25-55mbps depending on the area I was in.
Here is my Question what is it about that rom that got my phone to connect to the Telus LTE network with thoes speeds??????????
Here is some of the stuff I've tried
V6 Supercharger - I've installed it with other roms of the same and different bases but still no luck.
Radios - I've flashed every radio and radio + Ril but still no luck getting it to work
Roms - tried every rom in here with different combinations and still no luck
Could there be something special about the telus rom files for it to conect to there LTE network? Does anyone have a Telus RUU I can try flashing to my phone to see if that helps?
I'm at my wits end with this problem and its driving me to the point where I'm thinking about selling my One X and getting the SIII and I hate samsung phones lol

You probably just need to enter the Telus APN. Turge lives in Canada so his ROMs might already include the Telus APN. This would explain why the KingCobra1X ROM would work but others won't. A quick google search should give you the APN settings.

Have you contacted TELUS technical support to ensure your account is LTE provisioned?
To provision, you require a V3 SIM Card, an LTE compatible plan (they should all be), and an LTE compatible phone.
There are a "rare few" that don't get provisioned automatically, DNA support can assist with this.
Have you tested your LTE SIM in another LTE phone? This would show if it is account related, network related, or possibly your hardware related.

As WorldIRC said you need to tell Telus you need LTE enabled on your account.
That being said I haven't done that with Rogers yet either but I've realized HSPA+ has been perfectly fine for me especially since I only have 500mb data plan.

Yes I have a v3 sim from Telus and my account is LTE enabled. I have contacted customer support and they tell me everything is fine at there end. Like I said it works perfectly on the KingCobra 1.2 rom. That tells me that it's not my network/plan or my hardware
I'm not the only one with this issue I know of at least 3 people with the same setup (unlocked Rogers phone on Telus network) Turge (dev behind the KingCobra rom) being one of them.
Even Turge can't figure it out that I know of. When he changed the base of his rom to 2.23 it broke the LTE for us if we did a full wipe but everyone else is ok.
It's really puzzling and I've spent all day messing with the Build.Prop in clean rom using settings from the V6 supercharger, from the king cobra rom what ever I could think of. Best I could come up with was
Phone connected to LTE but download was 10mbps and upload was 25mbps this is the best I can get on any rom other than KingCobra

You can +1 with another Unlocked Rogers HOX on Telus with the same problem. I always thought it might have been a Toronto thing, but now hearing you comment about this there must be something Telus does...perhaps to force you to buy their phones.
I don't think I'm going to give up on the HOX, I love this machine to death. Secretly I'm hoping someone will leak the stock Telus ROM so I can flash out of the stock Rogers ROM. I've recently updated to the latest Rogers Stock, and still same problem. LTE dl speeds capped around 10...
Lemmee know if you find a better solution than using KingCobra, I'm dying to see what true LTE feels like =P
Cheers!!!

I'm using a Telus One X....I haven't rooted / custom ROM'ed it yet...but contemplating doing so for LTE test purposes.
Right now, bone stock, I hit a max of 47mbit down today at Vaughan Mills; with an average of 20-25 mbit today.
OP have you tried the latest KingCobra rom released today?

You can +1 with another Unlocked Rogers HOX on Telus with the same problem. I always thought it might have been a Toronto thing, but now hearing you comment about this there must be something Telus does...perhaps to force you to buy their phones.
I don't think I'm going to give up on the HOX, I love this machine to death. Secretly I'm hoping someone will leak the stock Telus ROM so I can flash out of the stock Rogers ROM. I've recently updated to the latest Rogers Stock, and still same problem. LTE dl speeds capped around 10...
Lemmee know if you find a better solution than using KingCobra, I'm dying to see what true LTE feels like =P
Cheers!!!

Well I have LTE in all roms with a AT&T One X, just putting sp.telus.com as the APN.

Yeah I get LTE on most roms its just the download is capped at 10mbps for some reason and I know it can go faster.

I was never personally a fan of LTE even after I got my HOX, so losing it really didn't kill me. I am on the Telus network with a Telus HOX. I will revert back to my stock setup and see if I can pull anything out of it that is different from my current setup (CleanROM 4.5). IMO, 10mbps is plenty fast enough in everyday use, blows all my iJunk buddies out of the water anyways =p. Will report back.

Yeah if you can pull your Build.Prop for me that would be great so I can compare it to KingCobra and the other roms.

Sensation 4g stuck in 2g

I have a HTC Sensation 4g that i got and repaired and switched over to it from my inspire 4g. My inspire would hit 3g great where i am and beyond it at times. So i thought the Sensation 4g would be the same but so far all it will do is 2g for some reason. Have checked APN, making sure WCDMA preferred is set and nothing still 2g but can take my sim stick back in the inspire and bam 3g and more....Not really sure what is going on here...Have searched alot but have not found any real answers yet and hoping perhaps somebody here might know something...So far i have learned a great deal about the android system from here and hoping there is something that can be done. Really like the sensation so far except for the fact its only got a 2g connection...Thought it could be the sim card but then it would not work in my inspire then, so that is ruled out....also went as far as trying different roms thinking maybe different firmware maybe, but nope nothing so far at all. It is rooted and S-off if that matters. Currently has 3.32 firmware and unlocked. Currently running Revalation. If anymore information is needed let me know.....

Update to 3.33 universal. You can find that on the first post if the help thread. Point 13 I think.
Otherwise, do an Ruu. I would recommend the above, as at the very least, you get the latest radios.
VERIFY MD5 BEFORE FLASHING. Make sure you have 70% or more battery. A wrong flash of 3.33 will get you a hard brick, but don't worry as long as you take above precautions.
Happy to help.

So just got done flashing firmware 3.33 and will include a pic of bootloader. It was successful and it updated radio too...However still only gets 2g signal. So i guess now im gonna hunt for a RUU and see what that does....As a sidenote I did not reflash the revalation rom...I assumed i didn't need to...Please correct me if i am wrong....Just looked at the bootloader image i took...doesn't look like it has the latest radio gonna find it and flash it too(whoops). Will post update....

How odd...Even ran the RUU and it succeeded. Rebooted put in the APN settings and nothing. Still at 2g network. This doesn't make any sense to me at all.

check the antenna which is responsible for network
lift them up gently if it is necessary

Alright will do that as soon as I get home from work and will post update. I just remembered something, this originally a T-Mobile phone but is unlocked to use on any network. Not sure if that is useful or not but more info the better to help resolve the problem

Got home a while ago and took it apart and checked all the connections and the antennas and everything seems ok...but still 2g...
Just out of curiosity...is there something perhaps in the buildprop possibly that I might be able to edit or something to make it see the 3g network... just thinking out loud... haven't touched anything in there yet.... just trying to figure something out.... really like this phone but not much use to me without data....

Did you try with using another carrier sim card ?

No, I dont have another carrier sim card...Have had net10 for several years and not anything different. Can put my sim card though in my inspire and 4g works fine so i am to believe it is not anything to do with the sim card itself. Have also put the same sim card in my ZTE 990 as well and 4g works too. I thought about buying a different plan on a different carrier to get a different sim but that could be in vain....

I have tried just about everything i can think of and for the life of me cannot figure out why this thing is stuck in 2g mode. I have ordered a new back panel for it and maybe that will help but im reluctant to think it will considering wifi and the 2g signal it does get is full bars.Unfortunately most of everyone i know is on the same service out here that i am so no way of trying a different carriers sim card.....Short of that being tried I can't think of anything to try....I am open for any ideas at this point.....

As a update...This is a T-Mobile Version of the Sensation therefore only uses 3g on a 1700 mhz band in which the cell company I am through does not broadcast on that band so this phone will never get 3g or anything else unless i change companies. Thank You Everyone for your help.

Unfortunately buying and activating a sim card from another network just to see if it was gonna work was something i did not have money for...I have spoke with HTC and confirmed what i wrote in the other post about this being a T-Mobile phone and specific to certain bands...and unless the network i use has that specific band it will never work for 3g. Unless there is a way to reprogram the radio frequencies it is a limitation all T-mobile sensations have sadly....but I have found another company that runs on the bands this phone needs to run so will be switching to the new company next month.
