Does anybody know or experienced if an unlocked Skyrocket works on European cell carriers with data and voice?
Our 3g here in Belgium is on 2100 mhz and I seen that the Skyrocket has the 2100 mhz radio, but heard it only works if you have an AT&T sim.
Thanks in advance.
Got my SkyRocket (AT&T, unlocked version) and it works flawlessly in Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands so far. No problems at all connecting to voice, voice mail, data on Edge, 3G and HSPA+. GPS and Google Maps works great. Very nice phone!!
Good to know. I have a customer her that wants to use his over there. Now I just have to help him unlock it

Flash or use Odin and install the Rogers stock radio(XKJ7), it works best for me here. More dependable when it comes to locking onto cell signals and less battery is used when it's searching for data networks. I'm also running Jugg v4.1 from the Tmobile dev forums. It's based off of Rogers as well with no CIQ. Also faux kernel from Tmobile for extreme smoothness and lag free phone use.
Just throwing this out there and hope it helps somebody along the line. I travel mostly between Germany, The Netherlands, France, Luxemburg and live in Belgium. This setup has proven to work flawless for me. Bluetooth in my truck as I travel, wifi as needed, data network the entire time I travel and I always have cell signal. While on the road traveling my battery can last anywhere between 18-22 hours
Is it no problem about agps fast fix issue?
I think att device using att agps supl server.
So another country can't access
Att supl server, may be it will cause slow agps fix.

Hi
Do you mean that you flash the T989 rom to our T727 phone ?
Hi Guys, I am planning to buy this phone, I am from Mexico and before I make the purchase I have a few questions and since I have been around with the HD2 for about a year now, I don't know anything related this one.
- Is there as much development for this specific model as the vanilla S2 one?
- I saw in a sticky thread that there is a way to unlock a S2 with an app, is it possible with this model?
- Since I will be using it in Mexico (Telcel carrier, GSM) I won't receive the ICS update right? but I guess I will be able to root it and then upgrade it following a guide in the Android development subforum?
- Does anyone tested the MHL (HDMI adapter) with this specific model or at least with the vanilla S2? How is it working so far?
- What are your thoughts overall about this phone?
Thanks guys, I posted this as a thread with no luck but I would like to know your opinion

Yes the hardware is the same, it also works in reverse. It's an I727 not T
i think this phone will work pretty much anywhere in this world as long as there's umts. I think it has 850,1900,2100 and also i believe it works on 1700 too.
Although we don't have that many development compare to internation s2, we still have some great development ongoing here.
for the ICS update, you can just flash it from here as long as it arrives.
Also you can flash the tmobile version rom to our phone too.
I'm using the Skyrocket fine in Sydney, Australia.
My 3G frequency is also 2100 MHz. We don't have LTE here yet but the HSPA+ speeds are amazing on this phone. On my old HD2 I was averaging about 3.5 Mbps. On the Skyrocket my average is about 7-8 Mbps with my highest test being 12.77 Mbps.
Not sure what the "agps fast fix issue" is but I've had no issues with the GPS. I'm using GPS Status to download the data file. My average lock speeds are between 5-7 seconds.
The only complaint I have about the phone is the whine/hissing sound I get from the audio at low volume when playing music. Other than that I'm loving the new phone: the impressive responsiveness, faster than ADSL2+ data speeds, very bright screen I can use outside in the sun and the sexy white case with the 'HID' back lit capacitive keys.
All the rom for i727 or T989 all work with i727 . The best radio is : T989UVKL1 .
BTW , compare to my all Samsung GAlaxy S2 i9100 , the i9100 have better singal .
I think skyrocket does not match our korea 2100 mHz network.
Data disconnection often appear, poor signal bar, can't establish call in some area.(like bed room)
I also flashed i727r, T989, T989D radio, but all problems are same.
So i decided my phone changed to T989 hercules.
Is it a good idea?

I'd like to ask, specially PARADOGZ and TREATCON, if any of you perfomed a special procedure to make the phone work on 3G or 3G+. I live in Brazil and bought a I727R(Rogers). My carrier name is CLARO and it works on 2100Mhz... everything is working fine (phone call, wi-fi, 2G) except that I don't 3G .... 2G is very very slow.
when i go to phone status i get a variation between UMTS and HSPA and the symbol on the screen actually says I'm on 4G (3G or 3G+ on brazilian saying) but...of course this is not real....data goes lower than 50kbps... believe.... i'm not mistaken.... only 50kbps....
something is definetely wrong.. please help !!

I'm confused... specs states that I727R works on HSPA 2100 but I can't find WCDMA 2100 on *#2263#. so I can't disregard is a hardware issue.
I hope that the solution be only software.... maybe update BASEBAND....
I need help and I'm very worried.

my specs are
SGH-I727R

Hi,
I've really been looking around to get myself a new phone to use on tmobile.
I was just wondering if using a T959V modem on an infuse would bring the ability to use tmobile's 1700mhz HSPA bands.
lemme know if you any of you guys are doing this.
Thanks,

I know the modem can disable certain talk freqs but I think because T-Mobile data freqs are so unique to tmo that other phones just don't support them. it could also be in the ril or even antenna tuning. I've never counted it out but figured someone would have had it figured out by now. I don't feel like getting a tmo sim card just to try it out.

No, it's a hardware limitation, not software/firmware, you'll only be able to utilize EDGE data/gsm.

might be a while before I try so don't hold your breath...
the thing that is weird is good devs have said it'll never happen. what bothers me is the ril,and modem both work and the chip is the same. now Im no expert on wireless or antenna design but antennas can be tuned and its posible there are separate antennae for different freqs not just differt types of connection. there may also be something else needed to support T-Mobile aws but I have a hard time believing its a hardware dependency and not a firmware/framework dependency other than the antenna just being inefficient... but there may be some supporting chip or something. nobody really knows. all we can do is use as much T-Mobile firmware as possible and hope its not a kernel dependency or hardware. I know I don't have the skills for the kernel and if its hardware its a waist of time.
So as for now there is no progress on this field?
Do not really want to change my Infuse especially when there are no good phones for TMobile except HTC One S(((
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.

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

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.

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?
I have a rooted and unlocked at&t skyrocket on jellybean 4.1.2 with very slow speeds, so I tried flashing the radios UCMC1 and UXUMA7 through cwm and nothing has changed. After messing with the APN settings a little my data is no longer working. It shows the bars but I can't get a connection. I have broken my back googling and searching forums on this matter but I can't seem to figure this out.
I just flashed the radio UVLI1 in the hopes that I wouldn't have to post this but now my bars are gone and have been replaced with a slashed circle. Any help please?
Edit: I flashed back to UCMC1 with the bars showing but still no data. Also, I just realized this should be in the Q&A but don't know how to delete the thread so I could post there instead.
1st , Welcome to xda
2nd , it is good that you're aware that it's the wrong place to ask , it should be in the Q and A section here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1401
3rd , you have to know what T-Mobile is using in your area ,
If LTE is rolled out , UCMC1 should work perfectly fine , since stock Skyrocket radios use 1700/2100 AWS bands for LTE (use this apn : fast.t-mobile.com)
If not , try one of the those radios :
Blaze 4G
Hercules T989
Or Galaxy Note T-Mobile (not so sure about this one) ...
Use this apn : epc.t-mobile.com
Search for those radio zips and make sure they are Jelly Bean compatible radio , or else they will not work with stock Skyrocket JB rom ... Always be careful when messing with radio , it can corrupt your device IMEI and/or brick it , make sure the radio you use is safe when used with Skyrocket..
Hope that helps...

Thanks for the suggested radios. And apologies for that double post in the Q&A, I thought this thread would be locked/deleted because of the sticky in this section.
I figured out that changing the APN type was what caused me to lose the edge data, because I had changed it from default,supl,mms to internet + mms since I had seen that in another thread. Changing it back restored the edge.
By the way, I had obtained the aforementioned radios from here.

I also tried flashing the UVMB1 Blaze radio from http://goo.im/devs/Void_Dweller/T769-UVMB1_modem.zip and I'm still on edge. Am I missing something here? Thanks again.
Set a new APN as :
Name : T-Mobile
APN : epc.t-mobile.com
Leave everything else and hit menu, save.
Select this APN
And you didn't answer about what service T-Mobile is providing in your area... If UCMC1,I757MUGMC3 or blaze radios didn't get you to at least 3G speeds then you have a problem somewhere else...

I did as you said with the APN but it seems l do not get any connection at all despite the bars being present, so I have to have the APN type at the bottom as default,supl,mms for the data to work.
I checked T-Mobile's website and it looks like I'm in the area with 2G with some spotty "satisfactory" signal strength areas. I would think that even with 2G that I'd get more than 0.04 Mbps download and 0.03 Mbps upload according to the speedtest app. Is there nothing I can do?
Asking somebody who's using T-Mobile in your area (a neighbor or a colleague) is better than just relying on the T-Mobile coverage map... And if you're sure that your area only gets 2G , use the stock JB UCMC1 radio and live happily with the 0.04 mb down you're getting... I would look to another carrier in such a case...

Ok, my only concern is that when I do change to another carrier in the future, would I experience slower data or data problems since I've already flashed a different radio? Would I have to flash back to the original one? I'm looking at this radio here for the original: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Thanks.
Man that's very basic stuff of course you can always flash whatever you want, including radios...
Having the skyrocket you're ofcourse limited to the 2 gsm networks in the states, T-Mobile or att (and their mvno's like Straighttalk, red pocket or such)... If T-Mobile is not good around you ,you have no choice other than at&t and in such a case flash the latest stock radio at that moment.. Now it's the ucmc1.. Use this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228292
[RADIO][UCMC1] For I727/I727R [09-APR-2013]
You're lucky not to be flamed for those basic questions, but be careful next time, there are really awful members around here who have no basic attitude or respect what so ever....
OP, i noticed that going into the carrier settings and manually choosing at&t instead of automatic has fixed this for me using a t-mobile straight talk connection....see if it works for you
I am using the at&t skyrocket on tmobile as well and find the samsung note modem to work the best leaving the apn settings alone.
T879UVLG3
Also make sure you check data roaming.

I did as you said with the APN but it seems l do not get any connection at all despite the bars being present, so I have to have the APN type at the bottom as default,supl,mms for the data to work.
I checked T-Mobile's website and it looks like I'm in the area with 2G with some spotty "satisfactory" signal strength areas. I would think that even with 2G that I'd get more than 0.04 Mbps download and 0.03 Mbps upload according to the speedtest app. Is there nothing I can do?

Try flashing T879UVLG3, it worked well for me on my i727.
I have a rooted and unlocked at&t skyrocket on jellybean 4.1.2 with very slow speeds, so I tried flashing the radios UCMC1 and UXUMA7 through cwm and nothing has changed. After messing with the APN settings a little my data is no longer working. It shows the bars but I can't get a connection.
I flashed the radio UVLI1 in hopes that I would get lucky but that caused my bars to go away to be replaced by a slashed circle. I flashed back to UCMC1 which is showing the bars, but still no data connection. I have broken my back googling and searching forums on this matter but I can't seem to figure this out. Any help please?

Don't double post
I think UCMC1 and UXUMA7 are ATT and Rogers radios respectively. UVLI1 is the T-Mobile SGS2 ICS radio, which may not work on your JellyBean rom.
Try UVMC6, which is the radio for T-Mobile's SGS2 Jelly Bean update. You can find it here:

Results can never be guaranteed, but this is the radio I use, and it has worked fine on every single rom I've tried, Touchwiz or AOSP, even in areas w/o the 1900Mhz refarm.
Can I flash the radio change w/out having my phone rooted?

Your phone must have a custom recovery to flash radio files...
It has twrp... that counts right? It doesn't need to be rooted, does it? I'm a computer nerd... phones aren't my thing. Give a girl a break, lol.

Yes ... TWRP or CWM are fine...
Rooting is something different, but for radio flash you have enough...

Would you mind telling me how I flash it or point me to a thread that will walk me through it quickly? Please & thank you!

Nevermind! I think I figured it out!
If I have a AT&T skyrocket and have a T-Mobile sim, should I use this radio? Or just stick with the UX, I am currently running?

It depends on what you observe using either of these..
Try them one by another and see which one is better (UCMC1 vs UX radio) in signal and data speeds ... Personally I couldn't find any difference in my location ... Both gave me the exact same signal and data speeds (TM LTE).

The UX gave me faster data speeds. Call clarity is about the same. I see 4G more than with the UC radio... I was wondering about the T-Mobile radio

T-Mobile radios would give you the ability to connect to T-Mobile 3G using AWS bands 1700/2100 Mhz Band4...And no LTE (or 4G) of course since the Hercules and Blaze (or the note one from TM) devices have no LTE radio chip...
If you live in an area in which T-Mobile deployed their new LTE(and most likely they already refarmed the PCS 1900 band), use UCMC1 or the UXMA7 radio,whichever you find better...Setting the apn to fast.t-mobile.com is essential for sure to get the service...
If you live in an area that T-Mobile is still at their 3G service (AWS bands for HSPA+) use the newest blaze JB radio...
Edit : when you say faster data speeds UX vs UC , any speed vs speed measurement you can share ? probably I didn't give each radio enough testing and jumped to conclude that they have same data speeds !
:good:
