Does anyone know if there is a difference in terms of apps pre-loaded, etc...
I have an AT&T 1020 and, for example, it did not come with Data Sense loaded. When I upgraded my Rogers 920 to GDR 2 it had Data Sense. Does the Rogers 1020 have it?
Has anyone flashed a Rogers rom onto an AT&T 1020? Based on how long t took AT&T to upgrade the 920 to GDR 2 I think it would probably be better to be running a Rogers rom when GDR 3 comes out.
If you have flashed the Rogers rom to the AT&T 1020 can you outline the steps involved and confirm differences in pre-loaded apps?
as far as i know, the carrier version does not have data sense due to it reduce the data traffic > yes it is money
Everything else is the same.
Actually - the Rogers variant when unlocked runs on AWS networks. I'm told the ATT version does not.
I can confirm it working for me on Wind and TMobile 4G.
Flash Rogers rom on ATT
I have been trying to get this to work with all the steps, but when I am trying to flash the Rogers ROM on an ATT device it always gives me an error: Platform ID is different from the Device Platform ID.
Can anyone tell me how to overcome this error. Need this desparately as I am in Canada and want to get AWS spectrum to work.

From what I have heard no one has been able to flash the att 1020 to a different firmware.

I know this is over a year later but just picked up a Rogers unlocked Lumia 1020.
Mainly to use as a phone when travelling or when wanting something with good camera.
Like it so far.
Question I have is I noticed that there are slightly newer software versions out from different carriers still with RM-877.
Is there any value in getting the tools and flashing them over what I have?
I have uninstalled the Rogers bloatware apps and not really heavily branded otherwise as it only shows it is a Rogers device in the about screen.
Advice?
Also are people installing the developers preview?
Benefits?

MetroPCS does not have this phone listed in it's list of flashable phones.
How might I get this working? If I were to get my hands on a MetroPCS ROM for another android device, is it possible I could piece together a working ROM? Or does anyone have any other ideas?
It's currently set up for Sprint (clean ESN for Sprint, not that it matters much for what I'm trying to do).
....... no
one rom for 1 phone doesn't work for another. it requires work to port
Yep, I got that. I was more asking if there is something I can get from an existing metropcs ROM to clue me in onto what changes to make.
If I reset the SPC, upload a metropcs PRL, and I'm assuming change any wap settings to use metropcs's internet... is that enough? Or is there really more to it than that?

the answer is no.
WiMAX isn't even on MetroPCS. It uses LTE. There is just way too much difference in terms of radios and frequencies.

Ahhh. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll activate on Sprint then. Anything to get away from AT&T right now, service in my areas has been horrible for months.
Metropcs nexus S`
Well obviously the 4g portion of it is different.
Now the evdo and supposedly 3g should work on are where metropcs has it.
Its no problem otherwise you can do everything you can with the nexus, just at a slower Internet speed.
You should probably be able to follow a tutorial for a samsung phone.
Is it possible to get an unlocked CDMA Nexus S so that I can use it with Metro PCS. Which brings up another question, would Metro PCS allow me to use the Nexus S on their service?
Technically, the Nexus S as well as the Nexus S 4G are "unlocked" and can be rooted with no special hacks. I would imagine that MetroPCS can develop their own ROM along with a radio and make it available on their site if users choose to do that. I don't believe there is anything in Sprint's contract which would cause a lawsuit for doing that.
The question is if MetroPCS will allow this phone on their network... it's up to them but I don't see why not, as they don't make money on phones anyway (I think)

Why would MetroPCS make a ROM for a phone that is unsupported? They'd have to go to Google to make a compatible phone in the first place.
Why would they spend money on making a ROM for the Nexus S? That just makes no sense. A radio is also not open-sourced. Radios can only be created by Samsung or Google for the Nexus S.
Get your facts straight
Whoever asked the thread said nothing about ROMs. He asked if an unlocked nexus s could be flashed over to metro which it should be able to.

Hey guys I have ns4g just about everything works except for mms..if you want mms you have to use whatsapp...so if you guys can build a metro rom for the ns4g that will be great
Picking up a Droid 2 Global today in hopes of doing the Band unlock hack.
I understand it must be on Froyo to do this, and I am buying from a random/normal guy on Craigslist. In the off chance he upgraded to Gingerbread, could it be reverted to stock Froyo for the hack? I wanna put Hexen on it eventually.
Also, we went back and forth for a while, and he finally told me Verizon gave him the unlock code.
How do I "use" the unlock code and how can I tell if it's working or not?
So basically, it's...
- Buy Droid 2 Global
- Unlock Code
- Make sure its on Froyo and do the band unlock
- Flash Hexen
Am I missing anything? Thanks a lot!
Right.
You can still flash back form 2.3 to 2.2
Just bear in mind the "Unlock" step may prove to be hard to get. Given the fact you live in US, it is likely you could get "a hand" from a friend of yours on Verizon to get it unlocked. Just in case online unlockers can't.
Also - 2.4.xxx firmwares (Froyo) are known to have issues with HSPA connectivity - so called 'radio resets', in other words - be ready for not very fluent experience with this phone.
Personally I'd advise against going this way. Get yourself a Desire Z - much better modding capabilities and no hassle with unlocking/using it on any GSM network anywhere worldwide..
Wanted to make new thread to ensure responses, but don't wanna clutter XDA either so here goes. I'm buying a Droid 2 Global soon for my bro and wanna use with AT&T, so I have some questions
1. Does it matter what SBF or version is on it? I'm under the impression that it can all be flashed to the correct ones that I want to use.
2. Seller does not have unlock code, but he is a Verizon customer (just got iPhone 4S) and has assured me that he will get unlock code with me at meetup.
So basically, how do I reach Verizon/get unlock code (I think I can call 611 with HIS iPhone)? And how do I input it? And how do I know when its complete?
And anyone have a simple guide on how to do the process of flashing and applying the hack? I know its a search away so links would be nice (on mobile)
Thanks a lot XDA

if im unlocked, on 4.5.608 and N_01.48.00R
will the HSPA still suck?
I dont have an ATT sim right now but did the flashing, etc in case I ever did...
To get the unlock code from VZW, the phone needs to be on a Verizon line of service, and the account must be in good standing for the past 6 months.
As for firmware versions, you need 2.4.29 as the base. I'm not quite sure if it's possible to update to any other version leaving the baseband intact. 2.4.330 won't work.
And yes, HSPA will most probably still suck because it's a problem with the baseband firmware.
I followed
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8326-d2g-gingerbread-hack-for-us-band-unlockers/
to leave the baseband but move forward for the overall rom.
I guess i'll need to get an att sim for the fun of trying out the 'bad' HSPA
I know it basically worked because I could use an available tmobile sim for a basic phone test - no att test as of yet.
Just an FYI. When I had an ATT SIM for testing I regularly pulled 6-7 Mbits tethering on it despite the so called "bad HSPDA+" radio performance of the original firmware versions.
This was freind's mother's SIM who had passed away and was an old basic feature phone plan that I added a 15/month unlimited data feature to when I borrowed it for a few months.
I used it primarily for tethering and testing various radio builds etc. when we were first working on it.
The low bars is a feature of the VZW Global phone configuration and not an actual signal issue.
The radio performance of networks outside the US may vary greatly from user reports and I have no experience with international use, but on ATT the GSM/HSPDA+ performance was generally excellent or at least quite useable.
I read on here somewhere, that at&t users of the Verizon s3 can flash cm10 from the at&t version by just changing "D2att" to "dsvzw" in the install script. Is this correct? Will Istill be able to get "Edge" data and send and receive calls/texts? I hate not being able to run cm10. I tried with the vVerizon version of cm10 BT I get no service. Is working with synergy ROM and clean ROM.
AND when Verizon. Releases the "World Phone Capable" update will this unlock the 1900 band for HSPA+ on at&t? If I pay to have this SIM unlocked will I get the heap+? I like this phone a lot. It was a gift and my parents didn't know I had at&t. Worse case sell and buy a n4. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
You should definitely sell it and get the Nexus 4, unless the sd card and removable battery is a big thing for you.
Anyway that's risky flashing ROMs from other models, have you tried installing the latest modem?

So the version available for att is 3045.1325.0001, everyone else is 3049.1330. Until these numbers match up somehow, we can’t flash other roms right? I have been trying to spoof ncs in order to force the flash, but either it fails validating the image, or it just does not work. Is there any head way into this? I am in the us, with an att 1020 on straight talk (unlocked), I am using the att compatible sim card, and I am trying to activate internet sharing. I know that this will work in an unbranded phone (lumia 620 works fine and allows the tethering), I have tried the Spanish keyboard trick, but it just is not working.
Anyone in the same boat?

3050.0000.1338.1001 came out for the rm-875 series a few days back. You can flash that in recovery mode as long as you have an rm-875 subfamily 1020.

In the same boat here. Phone works great on T-Mobile but this 'lock' that AT&T left on the internet sharing is breaking my heart.
Right now I'm torn between returning it for a refund or sucking up the AT&T infection.
I have terrible reception and no MMS on an unlocked Verizon m8 swapped to AT&T sim. Phone is unlocked via sunshine with TWRP custom recovery and flashed to the latest Verizon firmware via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 running Viperone 3.1.0 and I believe some kind of faux boot. Can I switch to AT&T firmware to get the best reception from this phone. So far I have read the hardware is all the same and was thinking I could open up the AT&T bands with this new firmware. Is there a better firmware? Can this be done on a Verizon phone? Any advice would be appreciated because I don't want to brick it and would be better safe then sorry.
If your phone does not support the at&t bands, there is likely nothing you can do about that. Also check you APN settings in phone settings, mobile networks. If they are wrong or missing, you won't be able to use data. You can google the settings for your carrier.
Good luck!

APN settings are fine have tried all of them I believe. Was wondering if I change the firmware for the phone and turn it into an AT&T phone and replace the ROM again with the Viperone ROM if that would free up the bands if the hardware is the same. If the hardware for the Verizon phone is different from the AT&T phone then I'm stuck but I'm hoping they released 1 phone with the same hardware and just put different firmwares on it so i can change the radio firmware etc.

Are u running the att viperone version or the Verizon version? I have a vzw branded m8. Running viperone. But I run the T-Mobile version so that I have a bit better call quality and I do receive all my sms mms and most my 4g antennaes. My only gripe is going between towers with 4glte on, it doesn't travel very well between towers.. So I run on wcdma only and I get my 14 gb data which is fine so that I can travel and get plenty speeds without buying another phone.

So you tried go sms pro ? That one seems to work one of the best. Also did you try google hangouts since they added support for google voice in to it ? The hangouts is supposed to work off wifi also so that could help you when on wifi at least. Did you check the at&t m8 forum for this conversion I saw another member thought they posted the conversion in the at&t forum for the m8. I have not had the time to look for myself yet.
