I'm running the skyrocket on tmobile's faux-g network. It took about a month and a half to settle on the config, as noted in my sig. Hope this helps a bit.

ergh i hope this works, i been trying so many things, so many radios.. learned we are cross compatible with the I727 (naturally), I727R, T989, T989D, and even the T879 radios >.> .. yet the only time I ever got ANY data (even EDGE which is all we get here) is on a Gingerbread ROM.. ugh. Glad I haven't canceled AT&T yet..
edit: big fat nope for data still *sigh*
edit2: finally got EDGE.

I chose this radio because T989 users were saying they got better signal on this than even on Blaze radios. Or something like that. I'd link it but I spent like 7 hours fighting with it, way past my normal bed time, so I hardly remember anything. Here is a screenshot of my phone running the radio to prove it isn't a brick-maker. I also do not know if this supports 3G/4G, because as you can see my tower is EDGE :/

I'm gonna test it here in Vegas as soon it's done charging and nandroid backup. Hopefully, you get 3g/faux-g soon.
Yep can confirm that this radio works with faux-g here in Vegas. It's a little slow right now in the part of town where I'm living but workable. To the OP, radios are important for the type of ROM you want to be using. For example, a GB ROM depends on a GB radio and the same goes for ICS/JB ROMS.

I'd be content with reliable 2G. According to mapping apps there is a whole 1 tower here, 2G, and barely usable. Many times it will show 1 bar and still say 'Emergency Calls Only' >.>
I flashed a T989 ROM to enable Wifi Calling, but I need a new SIM card from T-Mobile (a 'GBA SIM'). It took a while with a bunch of phone tag across T-Mo departments, but I think I finally have a 'GBA SIM' coming at the cost of $0.99. Will report.

My phone reports that the mobile network type is "EDGE:2". I've assumed that this means I am not in a 3G area. The T-Mo coverage map shows the majority of my area as 2G. There is one small light green spot (assumingly 3g?) over my house, but I think this is just an error on the map. Therefore I am unable to properly test for 3G/4G connectivity.
I've also asked T-Mo if there was any plans to upgrade our tower to 3G, and unlike AT&T who would quickly counter with "but we have 3G in your area!", T-Mo sent me to some activist page to start a local rally to convince local officials to upgrade coverage. I guess this is their way of admitting it is, in fact, a 2g tower.
I've also changed my radio back to T989. I'm not sure if it was a radio issue or what but it seems after a few hours the phone would lose service completely. I'm still testing stuff.

What is the average signal strength that you usually get? Also , if I read correctly, you are now using the stock t989 radio on the skyrocket? Which would mean GB?

this radio (UVLH1, 4.0.4 ICS latest T989 radio) is also doing the same thing as the note radio. After a while (3-5 hours) the status bar will show service (2-3 bars, even fluctuate) but the system is "Searching" and calls and txts are missed. Need a stable radio...
edit 2: I guess technically I could just ust the original AT&T radio since I only get 2G here anyway, and T-Mobile is re-farming so 3G will eventually work on 1900mhz., the 1700/2100 is going to LTE like it should, thus our skyrockets on AT&T radio should technically be able to get T-Mobile 4G LTE when its available
edit 3: rogers (I727TR) radio probably better than AT&T for the sake of rat unlocked
edit 4: removed edit 1, just gonna use I727R UCLD2
OK. Sorry that the radios didn't really work out. I do encounter some network disconnects here but not a total dealbreaker. I guess we'll have to wait for T-Mobile. On a sidenote, I am finding I have better coverage with this radio.

I do like T-Mobile but I will watch from StraightTalk (AT&T Sim) and try again when they grow some more here. I need mobile data to work. I wouldn't mind 30kB/s but I only accomplished that once. Heck I'd even take 5kB/s if it didn't take over 2 minutes to establish one connection. I can't even use MMS most the time because it seems to require 4+ (-90) bars of service before EDGE will even establish a connection.
Edit: Got my 'GBA SIM' today for Wifi Calling. Works great on this ROM combo. I just wish I had mobile internet. I may do some tests as I am secretly hoping this GBA SIM has 3G/4G and maybe my old SIM was a 2G sim.
For archival reference in case I go back to AT&T ROMs, and my sig changes, Wifi calling for T-Mobile works on our Skyrockets using Faux123 ICS T989 Kernel for I727 MOD v001 and SGH-T989 UVLE1 Infamous Resurrection ROM
Zefie thank you for moding faux kernel as i use the rom on your signature and the kernel and Telus modded radio for t898d nd im getting awssome hspa+ speeds today i gotted 10mb download and 2mb up.

Buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus from the Google Playstore for only 349.00. Its unlocked and works with both ATT and TMobile 4G.
That's what I did for my wife and using a Flashed Skyrocket on T-Moile 4G has been flaky at best.

Ive been helping my buddy with his SGS2 skyrocket on T mobile service .. I was looking for some tips on apn and data speeds .. So im guessing they should get the same speed as a t mobile SGS2 sitting next to it or id like to think so .. but doing a test with 2 buddies phone on the same service with a t mobile sgs2 and the sgs2 i727 . the speed is different by a bit the i727 was getting 5 to 7 megs a sec and the tmo sgs2 was at like 14 megs a sec ??? So The sgs 2 says its getting at&t 4G witch I know is bull .. im running the isc leak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569798 ) but the speed is about the same on the GB ROM when we first unlocked it ...and ive got the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572198 radios in it ....so i get edge when im at my house but my buddy on his 3g at&t iPhone gets it right next to me .. also when im on 4 G im not really getting 4 g speeds ....I think i must be missing some setting apn is wrong or something .. ive tried searching the subject but i get over whelmed not knowing much about radios.. Ive been thinking about going to t mobile also and getting a t mobile sgs2 or the i727 because of the lte radio .. so if anyone can enlighten me on something im missing ...thanks a lot
Have a kind of the same issue I haven't tried my t mobile sim on i c s yet gonna try now...I think if you flash a t 989 radio t mobile kernel and t mobile rom I cant see what else is left for it not think it is a t mobile phone..... As long as you can switch network providers and bands
Keep me posted if you come up with a solution I'll do the same....

Any T-Mobile (t989) rom with telus radio (kj3) and Skyrocket kernel (faux 010m, dag 0.43pre2) has been a known working combo.
I am on Juggernaut 5.0, Faux123 Skyrocket Kernal, and UVKL1 radio. Everything works...but I keep on getting back and forth with 3g and 4g. And its not fast speeds either. Im pretty bummed that I cant get this Skyrocket working on Tmobile at 100%. This phone rocks!

Just to clarify, are you using an ATT sim card on the T-Mobile network?
I tried installing the T-Mobile VK1 and Kid radios on my ATT Skyrocket, clearing regular and delvik cache. It just doesn't give data service. When clicking on Mobile Networks under settings, it says Insert SIM card.
Running Sky-ICS RC7.4 Stock. The baseband says T898UVKID right now, which is as I would expect since my last attempt was the Kid radio. I tried posting this in the radio thread in the development section, but I don't have enough posts.
Just for additional info, I am an ATT subscriber, and when I flash back to UCLA radio, all is fine. Maybe I don't understand the purpose of flashing a t989 radio. My reception sucks, and I wanted to pull off the T-Mobile tower instead of att, is this wrong method or am I just being ignorant? Voice worked fine with the vk1 and Kid radio's, just no data?? BTW, I have to use wap.cingular for my apn, so I was thinking that maybe part of it.

Still working on finding the right combination. Would love to drop Rogers for Wind with a mint second-hand Skyrocket I just picked up. Let me know if you have had any success.
Tried:
1) Juggernaut ROM/Faux009 kernel/Telus i898 KJ3 modem = not working
Juggernaut ROM/Faux009 kernel/T-mobile VK1 modem = not working
2) CM 9.1.0 ROM/Included kernel/Blaze modem MOD = barely working (was able to send one text while I was outside despite being well within coverage)
3) Stock ROM(ugh bloatware)/Stock kernel/Tmo i898 KID radio= best reception so far but still cuts out regularly

So far it's working pretty good in 416.
I am using the Rogers SkyRocket
Slimbean 4.1.2 It has to be a 4.1.2 ROM it seems for this to work with the radios/modems as they are compatible with 4.1.2 and below
It works great and I get to 20M on speed test.
**** This is my current issue and I will probably try a different ROM (I really like the Slim stuff)- I reflashed SLIM over the current Slim and will see if it starts the dropping of modem again.
This is my post from anther thread.
The modem keeps disappearing and I have to reflash it to get a signal again.
The phone will just lose the signal and rebooting etc, does not help it get back. You have to reflash the modem file again. This is very strange. I have never read any posts about this issue either.
carrier- Wind Mobile Canada - AWS network like T-Mobile.
It's Slim Rom 4.1.2 on a Skyrocket.
Modem is Blaze 4G LB7 (T-Mobile)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1895400
Everything works great but this issue turned up about 2 days after flashing. I wiped and formatted everything before I flashed the ROM.
Recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket from AT&T, along with a Net10 SIM card. Everything works, but the data is unreliable. At home (10 miles from Harrisburg, PA), I have a five bar signal, but the internet works on and off. Even when I have the 4G icon on my phone, the internet does not always load. I have (best) coverage in my area, too. I have searched forums, and contacted customer support, and did not find any useful help. I have tried several APN configurations, and my modem ICS is the latest as far as I know (UCLI3), unless if I have a leaked version. Should I downgrade my ICS, upgrade to the leaked ICS, or root my phone? Is there anything I can do?

I have a Samung Galaxy Proclaim from Net10 that gets up to 3 Mbps on 3G in my area, which is enough for me. It's pretty annoying when I look at my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and it's not loading or lagging at 200kbps.
UCLF6
I downgraded to the uclf6 modem, which sped up the data connection by a little, but not much. I'll try downgrading even more.
I have tried the two new leaks for the ICS modem, which were UCLK4 and UCLL3. Both modem versions were unstable. What I will stick to is the Telus SGH-T989D modem update, which had proven to be the most stable and beneficent results. Thank you for all of your help!
I know there will be complaining why didn't I search, but I honestly have. Looking for the modem/s that will give me 3g on the skyrocket. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825 is the only thing I've found, but the site wants me to sign in but I don't have an account. I've searched Google, the T-Mobile forum and found nothing. I also tried adding the fast apn, but get no signal at all with that one. Anyone have the combination of modem and apn for me? Not in an area that's got even 4g thru att. Closest 4g is 30 miles away. Mod, if posted in the wrong forum, forgive me and please smack my hand and move it.

Thanks so much guys. Was looking so much for the modems in that thread only, that I missed the recommendations of the blaze modem. Thanx again..
Ok got 3g (shows the 4g icon in the panel) with the fast apn. Able to send and receive mms, BUT when its on the 3g, I have no cell service, meaning no calls or texts come or go. Going back to the default apn, got service back but only E and can't send or receive mms. I've noticed alot of people with this problem, but everyone just tells them make sure to use the fast apn. I'm at a loss where to go from here. Any ideas?

We don't have no T-Mobile where I'm from so I haven't looked into this myself but I hope it helps you, if not there are lots of other Skyrocket T-Mobile threads on xda where you should be able to find something out.
Google: "skyrocket t-mobile".
Good luck
T-Mobile does not offer the Skyrocket. Skyrocket is AT&T's version of the device. T-Mobiles version of the phone is called Titanium. Model # SGH-T989... I'm not sure if XDA has a section in the forum for it but I would definitely search for that specific device if that's what you have.
Edit... It appears they do. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329&nocache=1&z=2641919930465519

Actually the T-Mobile version is called Hercules.
Well guys, I officially give up. I have tried numerous modems and no luck whatsoever. Tried changing apns to what others have reported success with, no luck. 4g shows temporarily with blaze, but it has no internet, mms or calling available. Once the 4g turns to edge, there is still no internet, but calls work. Texts go thru, but no mms. I am frustrated beyond belief. Guess he gets a wifi only data enabled phone that makes calls and SMS messages only.

Actually no it's not. It was CODENAMED Hercules while in development but was released as Titanium. True story, look into it.
Not to mention, even if it was, why would you be in the SGH-i727 forum looking for files???
If you click on the link I gave you, you'll find what you were lookin for and then some.

Because that's the phone he has. Obviously. Everything else is irrelevant.

Because I'm trying to get T-Mobile 3g in my i727 but need the modem that others have said gives them the 3g on here, which are mostly tmobile. Also, if its called titanium, then everyone in this forum and tmobiles forum look like idiots because they call it HERCULES.

I'm in the same boat. I have tried everything I can find on these forums and can only get 2G. The phone will briefly connect to HSPA and LTE, but will not get data and cannot make phone calls. I just wish I knew how others are connecting to Tmobile with their phones. Wish I had just bought another hercules since it works perfectly. It doesn't get LTE, but usually I'm at 10-12 MBPS on HSPA.

I have a feeling that many of the success stories are in or near refarmed areas. Me, I'm 30+ miles from even H speeds on att or T-Mobile. And I'm not in what I consider a rural area with over 300000 people living in the 2 immediate towns to me, close to Edwards Air Force Base.

That was one I did try and it gave me nothing, no 3g, no edge, no cell signal at all. Told me to insert sim. Thanx tho.
Hello. I'm having a problem with my skyrocket. It will only get service where there's full bars of 4G but instead of it being full bars it'll be reduced to like 1 bar. Everywhere else it gets no service. I'v bought every part on eBay that makes sense to affect service, like the antenna, but still doesn't work. I have the latest radio. And have done factory reset and everything you can imagine.
Really? No one can help.
