Att to Tmobile lg g2 - T-Mobile LG G2

Just posted in main lg g2 forum QA. just thought Id cover my bases here to. Can I install a stock Tmobile rom with kernel/radio/modem/ on to an unlocked At&t LG G2 and it work as if it were a Tmobile LG G2? I'll of course be using a tmobile simcard. Thanks for any info

I don't know the answer but my question would be why would you want to do that? I'm on T-Mobile and except for this T-Mobile G2 I have always used an unlocked AT&T phone on T-Mobile. I get 4G LTE and certainly in the case of the G2, it is rootable whereas the KitKat T-Mobile G2 cannot be rooted (easily) and there is no recovery. I think you would be losing more than you gain by going to the T-Mobile rom if it is possible. Having said all that I'd certainly be interested to see how you get on if you can do it.

In the beginning of my tmo service I brought my gs4 over and just had to change/add APN settings. Still had to use Verizon ROMs, but had tmobile service. I would assume it would be about the same.

i actually wanna know the opposite of this. I got a Tmobile G-2 and am using it on AT&t (AIO Wireless techinically), but im getting super slow speeds. My DL is 1.1 and UL is 1.4 somehow. I havent rooted it yet because i have to RMA it back to LG due to the dead spot on the lcd issue. So after i get it back do i just need to switch the radio modem out to get on the at&t bands? Also would att roms work on my phone (d801)?
Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Double check the APN settings just to be sure. Also check different location / different time of the day. The speeds you list are HSPA so it seems you are connecting fine. I am on H2O (an AT&T MVNO) with a T-Mobile G2 and just measured 6.2 DL / 1.3 UL.

Double checked my apn and I'm all good there. Are you using a different radio? I'm still using the stock tmobil radio. I haven't been able to figure out what the issue is.

Well, this is what happened when I tried to do that. Whether it was just a bad ROM, or the ROMs are different because of e.g. slight differences in radio frequencies, I don't know. I do know, I'll never do it again -- that was the first time I've bricked a phone since having flashed my first ROM on the original Android, the Dream/G1. But YMMV.
On the other hand, there are ways to install features specific to TMO like boot animation/sound, wifi hotspot authorization, the TMO account app, and enabling wifi calling, to help "brand" it more T-Mobile. That's what I'm working on right now, in fact.

[Q] G2X on AT&T data issues?

Sorry if this is redundant folks, but a friend of my stepfather has been having some issues. He recently purchased a G2X, used it for a month or 2 on T-Mobile, but now wants to switch to AT&T with his girlfriend. He's gotten pretty far, getting the IMEI from T-Mo and getting it actually unlocked. He's now got Calls and Texts up and running on AT&T's network, but he can't get any data to work. We know that 3G won't work on it, but we assumed EDGE would.
Any help here? I'm sure it something reasonably simple.
Please and thanks, XDA!
There's a thread in the SGS2 dev section with AT&T's APN settings. They probably need to be changed in the phone.
Mine is unlocked and I tried my wife's at&t sim and had no issues connecting to internet. Not that that helps you, just wanted to throw in my experience. I wonder if it makes a difference which type of rate/data plan the at&t sim is on.
G2X CM7
Thanks Barry, I found that thread and sent him the APN settings. I'll post back tomorrow with results.
And thanks for your input phburks. The reason why yours worked may be that you're running CM. Our g2x is running stock Android.

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.

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.

Sprint Nexus S 4g on Boost Mobile - Questions

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.
does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...

Rogers ROM on AT&T HTC One XL

Was wondering if we can put Rogers ROM on AT&T for 2 reasons.
Turn off LTE and tethering.
Can anyone with Rogers confirm they have tethering ability. Also do you have to pay extra for tethering with Rogers.
I bet AT&T will block those.

Confirmed! We have tethering enabled(free) as well as the option to turn off LTE.
As for loading the Rogers rom onto the AT&T handset, I don't see why not other than maybe some differences in what 3G/4G LTE Bands are made available. Rogers and AT&T are very close in offerings though. Don't know if there's any relation nowadays, but they used to be partners a good 10 years ago here in Canada. I think Rogers bought them out of their wireless venture. Fun fact of the day. Minus the fun
Anyone has an unlocked rogers htc one xl phone that also has an att sim card can do a test if att sim card will get lte speed with rogers rom?
The Radio firmware is a separate image from the system rom. Once we have a Rogers RUU, you should be able to flash the boot.img and system.img from that without worrying about altering the way your radio connects to the AT&T network.
So what would be a better choice? Att handset with rogers rom or rogers handset stock rom. I just want to be able to tether sometimes without att giving me trouble and turn att off. Since i will be getting out of contract... Price for the handset should be the same.
The only difference between the AT&T model and Rogers model is the ROM, so it really wouldn't make a difference. Go with whichever option is easier for you.
(I accidentally thanked your post. Enjoy it lol)

Oh hey, you're right. I never noticed.
It only appears for about a second or two before the "Quietly Brilliant" screen.
ummm it doesnt matter which ROM your on... ur still going to get charged for tethering. ATT looks and sees whats connected to their netwok (ie a PC) and will see you're tethering. As far as 3g/4g toggles, wait like 2 weeks for some custom ROMS.
Can AT&T peek into a custom ROM like say CM9?

The thing about the bloatware is it can be disabled in settings-apps under "all" tab which is nice if you don't want them loading and updating all of the time, but they still take up space.
For those that don't know, I didn't when I first found this out, you have to first uninstall any updates an app may have before the option to disable it shows up.

Is this true? I'm thinking about buying an unlocked Rogers HOX to tether, but I don't want to do it if they are just going to charge me the tethering fee.

If you don't go crazy with tethering then they won't bang you for it. Yes, I briefly used the rogers rom and it unlocked tethering as well as gave the option to turn off lte, however I have gone back to the updated att rom 1.82 and hacked the stock tethering app to work just fine. This rom is ultra smooth compared to the Asian or Rogers rom.

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.

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.

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 !

EDIT 2: apparently there are two models of the ATT One X/XL one with the 1700 band and one without

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.

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...
--edit--
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.

Picking up an att s3 today to test it out. Most likely there's two versions of one x one with aws and one without. I know mine doesn't though.

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).

-----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.
-----edit again-----
