I have a GSM Nexus S and was wondering if there was a way of getting it to work with AT&T 3Gs
would it be possible?
Thanks
If you have the i9020a, yes you can... If you any other model you will get edge only

Hi!
I am sorry if this a stupid question but where can I find which model I have? I looked at the settings about and didnt see it. There is one called baseband version i9020XXKI1
Your model number should be behind your battery.

GI9020 is all it says
I just got a SGS3 today, but I am not sure which provider it is from (Verison, AT&T...). I picked it up from a friend, and not from a store. I believe it was from Bell, but I am not too sure.
Is there a way I can find out the provider? So far, I see that you need to know your provider to make sure you don't brick your machine :/

Edit: I haven't looked into it yet (I will after I finish editing) but do I need to know the provider to unlock the phone, or is that one quick method?
Edit2: I remembered it came with a Rogers Sim card
Sounds like a stolen phone......

What is the exact model # and baseband version in the settings - about my phone?

If its a stock ROM, check the build.prop

The baseband is i9300 xxale8.
I just tried rooting it using SGS3 Toolkit, not sure where I went wrong, but It just displays "Samsung" before going black.
Edit: When did they make you also press the Home Button to go into download mode. That caused me some headache
Reflash stock ROM maybe?

Trying that now. In download mode, it shows that the current binary is custom and system status is official. I'm searching how to turn the binary back to official. Do you know?
Nope. Sorry! It usually is branded in build.prop

I gotta ask...Did you flip it over and look at the backplate? Mine says verizon.
That is not a verizon baseband. Verizon begins with I535...not sure what provider uses that number because it appears to be the international variants baseband. Not sure though, but definitely not verizon

Didn't expect it to be from Verison, but I didn't expect it to be from the others as well, and I had to post this somewhere
I9300 sounds like an international phone so you most likely have the gsm international version... but im not gonna lie... the op makes it sound like its a stolen phone :silly:

A friend of mines relative works for a phone company, so I got it through them. I hope that doesn't make it sound sketchy :/
My old SGS2 was actually stolen from me I wish the IMEI number was printed on the box so that I could trace it
You have the international version. It is not tied to a carrier the same way the US versions are and has a separate forum.

I have a new N5 and its unlocked and rooted. I get LTE just fine on the stock rom but when I flash any custom roms, LTE doesn't work. Even when I restore my backed up EFS on the custom rom, LTE still doesn't work. Anytime I nandroid back to my stock rom, LTE works fine. Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

Did you flash Sprint software? It could be the APN.
What sprint software? forgive me im new to this. I did make a backup of my apn of my stock rom and restored it when i flashed a custom rom, but it didn't make a difference.

I think there's some extra APKs you need to add to custom ROMs.
I fixed the issue. I unrooted and returned my phone back to stock. Then I found a sprint. Zip that you flash with custom roms and that worked.

I'm on Sprint and I've flashed most of the custom roms for N5 with zero LTE issues. Which rom did you flash?
There is no custom sprint software this is a Google phone.

Check the APN settings. On AT&T I have to tweak my settings to get LTE instead of H+.

Its a zip to flash after roms that sets the correct APN settings for sprint. I can't remember the thread I found it in though. But it was for the same issue I was having with my LTE/3g switching.

The reason I am searching through posts is this: my 3G works fine. But when it kicks over to LTE... Nothing happens... In a minute or two I may get 4 mbs or something pretty good and then nothing again. I need it to actually work. My wife has the same issue on her S4 and she is stock. It switches over to LTE.... Nothing. I have LTE off mostly. Steady slow 3g is better than no progress on LTE.
update profile
Should provide the correct settings in the custom Roms assuming the creator added the update profile features. I know cm does

Anyone do it yet? Was really wanting to go with Lollipop but a few of the AT&T crap including the Signal Bars is so annoying!
Ive done build prop changes before on Samsung phones to change this, anyone do this on there D850?
There are options for this if you're rooted and have xposed installed. You lose the "false" signal bars that AT&T does to show more signal than you really have though I think.

@hyelton could you change the 4g/LTE icon? I followed the instructions to change build.prop and any of the combinations worked. for me. D855P, Lollipop Stock V20I + root.

What do you mean? If you have a D855 there should be no reason to change it as you should already have them.

The method I was using was to remove the AT&T 4G/LTE icons. To make it like the international versions as the AT&T version has completely different ones.
You could try using CA as the region to get LTE

@hyelton I already did it. I tried the following:
ro.build.target_county: CA
ro.build.target_operator: TLS
ro.build.target_county: US
ro.build.target_operator: TMO
I rebooted my phone, check the build.prop, changes already were there, but I have the same 3G , 4G icons. It never changed to LTE or 4GLTE Icon. Any suggestion?

Maybe it's not actually saving? Some build.prop tools don't actually change right. Maybe try another tool?

did you get solution to your problem.. I am having thesame issue too..
I do know for a fact that I am getting lte because when I installed CM rom lte symbols comes back...But for stock or cloudyg3 rom, I only get the 3G,H, and 4G symbol
all you need is to change build.prop carrier to "TLS" and the coutry code to "CA" and it will have 3g/4g/LTE icons
you can use root explorer. mount r/w then long press build.prop, open with text editor and then edit as said above. it will save a copy of original automatically in case you need to restore the original.

Sorry to bring you bad news but what you trying to do isn't possible,
at least from what I've gathered.
I'm on the same boat and am really upset that Samsung makes things harder
every year and this time around CSC is totally different now.
Please let me know if you find any good news.
Switch to the canadian model and you'll have everything but root, i'm sure theres plenty of people that will do a straight swap.

download the rogers firmware from sammobile and join batstock rom telegram support channel. The OP can help you out. All you have to do is upload a file from the download there and he'll add the csc to a flashable twrp zip that you can install to fully enable all rogers features.

I got bad news for you. VOLTE and Wifi calling only works on android phones that has been bought from Rogers. I have the unlocked version from Samsung.ca and it still didn't work.
Correction: The only unlocked phones that work on Rogers VOLTE and Wifi-Calling are the iPhones.

i see.
next thing you want to try, make sure your build.prop product name matches that of the rogers phone.
also, my carrier disables feature if it detects root such as wifi calling. if you have magisk hide and an app for wifi calling uou may want to try hiding those apps from root.

I already called Rogers tech and VOLTE and WIFI Calling don't work on Android phones that was not from Rogers. No matter what you do, its the IMEI number that triggers their system to enable it on their end.
Unfortunately all carriers including Bell, Telus, Fido, Virgin and Freedom Mobile do this.
if it trully is incompatible, it is more likely to do with the difference between th band availability between the international model and canadian model... a quick google search will allow you to compare band availvility between phones and what bands are used for the carrier.
i don't believe it though, that just makes it hardee for them to aquire clients with existing handsets.
