[Q] Changing from TD-SCDMA TO WCDMA

I bought China made BBK Vivo XPlay model X510t which is running on TD-SCDMA. My country is using wcdma and thus I have problem with 3G. I successfully rooted my phone and replaced the Vivo XPlay X510w ROM. With the new ROM, all phone features running well but the phone still running on TD-SCDMA.
May I know in what way, I can get it changed to WCDMA?
Your valued advice is very much appreciated.
Thx/ Jim

Yeah you'll have to return it to seller and ask for a WCDMA version. There's no way around that.

Nope. Snapdragon 600. Still it have TD-SCDMA modem and i don't think there's really a way around it. Only replace it with WCDMA model.

like xiaomi mi3, this phone come with 2 versions, one is wcdma, another one is td-scdma, td-scdma only works in china. both versions are equipped with snapdragon 600. unless there is a way to flash radio @ baseband like nexus, lg @ samsung phones, i cannot see any possiblities to change it.

i have bought td-scdma phone its doesnt support 3g in pakistan how can change its frequency to wcdma via mtk uncle tool i tryed but couldnt find the way i will be glade if u will help me?

wcdma&scdma
Hello everybody,
This is my first message.
I have the same problem with a Jiayu F1. The mobile runs with MTK 6572 chip and it supports both base band, therefore, i am sure that is a software trouble.
I have installed the WCDMA ROM and I lose the IMEI and the radio identification file.
Is there any possibility to unlock of the last option (OEM-specific info/setings) of Phone Information showed by MobileUncleTools? I think that the solution is here hidden.
Thanks...

im late read this post...
i bought HUAWEI HONOR 3C... with TD-SCDMA mode...:crying:
and i think no hope to get HSDPA signal now ?
and i send question email to huawei, and they give me Huawei Service centre in my country...i call them, and they says to bring my phone to service centre....is there's mean HOPE ?
regards

WCDMA

I have lenovo golden warrior s898tp it is also td-scdma and mtk chipset
That is mtk 6592 using mtk uncle but it doesot show option only show td-scdma bands
What can i do

I have a solution, but it demands our collective efforts. Both MTK and snapdragon 600, 410 MSM 8916 has capability to process the WCDMA frequencies, but the phone makers disabled the function. Radio flash of the chips will enable the 3G, 4G mode of WCDMA. So lets work and see if there would be a simple way to do that. If you got answers whatsapp me on +2348064782500

cellular network state disconnected please advise

I searched this forum and others and could not find anything that answered my question. If I am posting in the wrong place I sincerely apologize. If I did something totally stupid to my phone please tell me...here it is:
I have a text now moto g xt1032 with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, TWRP recovery.
I canceled textnow service and then flashed a rom (XT1032 Retail US Optimized v1.3) to get rid of text now's horrible rom that was preinstalled on it. This is not my DD and if I totally ruin it I can live with that but I hope that's not the case. I thought everything went perfectly.
I thought I might try to activate with TING. The MEID check said the phone was compatible (it did show an odd device name xtsomething instead of moto g) and they gave me a phone number and I believe my MSL but when I went to do over the air programming it wouldn't work because I can not enable data/cell network. It just says account could not be validated when I dial ##DATA#.
Sooo... should I try to find a way to manually program or do something here? Or is this because of my baseband/kernal?
My info:
moto G xt1032
android: 5.0.2
baseband version: msm8626bp_1032.390.81.01P BOOST_CUST
kernal version: 3.4.42-g6f35b04-00002 [email protected] #1 Wed Apr 15 11:59:10 CDT 2015
system version: 220.41.36.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US
Build number: see above
network type: cdma - EvDo rev. A
Voice: In service/data:in service
cellular network state: disconnected
Thanks guys for being so helpful and awesome!
PS will the xt1032 umts kernal be compatible with all of the above in case I need to do that?

N915T using SM-N915F?

i've note edge buy from people in my country *Indonesia last month, when i check in about phone setting it's written Model Number "SM-N915F" that i know it is for Indonesia, but when i put off my battery it's written N915T that's for T-Mobile, so i'm confuse with my phone because i can't do an upgrade from setting/about/update and is it posible to flash N915F firmware to N915T?

If it write T model in the back, then it is the T model because you can change the model number in about phone, so maybe the owner changed the model number before you bought the phone. Even so If you are undecided, you can hardreset ur phone and after succesfull bootup u can find out what the phone model is in about phone... :fingers-crossed:

No you can't.. on T-mobile version only 2G will work. no 3G or 4G..

Xperia XA (Us Warranty) no LTE service

Good day all, hope I'm on the right place/post here.
Wondering if someone can help, I've purchased a Xperia XA F3113 via Amazon from SA.
Phone works 99.9%, the other 0.01% is my issue.
To start with all the settings are set to LTE(Preferred)/WCDMA/GSM, my carrier Vodacom has sent and verified that my sim is LTE activated (Used the same sim on other phones with LTE present)
Here's everything I did to resolve the problem....
1- Phone came from USA with android 6 and no LTE signal just 3g (In a 4G environment)
2- Vodacom sent settings and confirmed. did not work
3- Spoke to Sony and they suggested I upgrade software
4- Upgraded software via Sony Companion to Nougat Android 7
5- Vodacom re-send the LTE settings still no luck.
6- If I search the mobile networks it only finds 3g-Vodacom, 2g-Vodacom, MTN, Cell C NO LTE on any network. Screen shot Attached....
7- Think I've reached Google's end of their information network (searched everything)
OK so now I'm thinking I want to flash/re-install ROM/Firmware with SA (South African) settings due to different Base band versions.
I came across a link but are not allowed to post it yet due to my 1ste post on you're site. But the ink only have the "(F3112_1302-4393_33.3.A.0.127-R1B_Customized_SA.ftf)" for model F3112 dual sim and apparently it wont work on the F3113 single sim....
Google this: 2017/06/xperia-xa-android-7-0-nougat-firmware
Can Anyone maybe help or have some suggestions except for returning the phone.....?
Thnx

Hi, I think that it will not solve your problem. Did not you asked yourself why Sony sell 3 differents single sim device (F3111, F3113 and F3115)?
Look here and "Networks":
http://www.xperiablog.net/specifications/2016-xperias/xperia-xa/
And if I look here Vodacom SA uses LTE B3 for 4G:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/vodacom-south-africa
To confirm your problem if you look here you will see that only F3111 and F3115 will have 4G on Vodacom SA:

Be careful next time you buy a device

You can try but it will probably brick your device or Flashtool will not let you flash it (never tested). Firmwares are not unified probably for a good reason. Maybe an other user can confirm if it works or not

I don't want to break your hopes but the problem is not your network provider so changing some lines in build.prop will not enable LTE Band 3 on your device. It's a modem feature (or maybe related to modem firmware if you are lucky) so it's on the hardware side of your phone. You can try but I know the result The better way is to know if modem chips are same on all XA Single Sim and, if yes, try to flash the modem firmware from a F3111 or F3115.

Cool, will investigate and try that. Thank a lot

Flashing ROMs from F3111 or F3115 to F3113 is not a good idea. Like @rrvuhpg said it can brick your device. My advice is to send it back and ask for different model (if they have it, because you have warranty). There is also a possibility to change just baseband, but I don't have expirience in extracting baseband. I remember that when I used Huawei G510 I flashed MIUI rom with Chinese baseband and then developer added one small .zip file to flash it for other regions and it worked (but I changed that ROM because it takes too much resources for a that phone). So try contacting some senior developer or google for it, but do this if you can't change your phone, because you will lose warranty if you root phone.

Thank you guys I will definitively try some of you're advice's, thanks again....... Will give feedback asap. have a good one..
