[Q] Using SGH-1727 on Tmobile - Modem?

I have the SGH-1727r from Rogers, unlocked, currently running Superlite ICS 5.0.
I have a working Rogers SIM, and a working T-mobile sim.
I will be traveling to NYC next month and want to be able to use the phone there.
Do I need to flash a custom modem or rom or anything else to make sure it works?

[Q] Can I install a custom ROM on a network locked Galaxy S2?

Hi,
simple question I assume but I couldn't find an easy answer with Google:
In my family we have 2 Samsung Galaxy S2 phones, one is unbranded and the other is a locked one from Vodaphone.
On the unbranded one I installed the LiteningRom 3.2 and speedmod K19, all works perfectly and battery life is excellent.
Question is: can I also install this (or any other) custom rom on the Vodaphone branded Galaxy or will it brick the phone/make it unusable ?
Thanks in advance for your views.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to rooting, my galaxy S2 is locked to O2, I managed to root my device with no problems at all using ODIN. Just make sure u download the right rooting package for your firmware.

Yes you can! I've done it! My sg2 running a flawlessly rom now.

Thanks for the replies, I will give it a try.

Your phone being network locked, to the best of my knowledge, should have no effect whatsoever.
What you NEED to watch out for is whether or not your provider's network is GSM or CDMA. Don't try to flash a CDMA rom to a GSM phone, or vice versa.
And make sure to Nandroid Backup!(!!)

[Q] Samsung Note 2 / Vodafone LTE issue on custom ROM

Hi,
First time posting, long time reading.
Having issues getting LTE/4G access on my Samsung Note 2 on the Vodafone network in Australia. I am currently running Hashchcek v2.5 ROM on 4.1.2, have a baseband of N7105TDVALK2 and using saberkernel.
According to Vodafone the baseband version N7105TDVDMB2 should have been pushed out with their update to 4.1.2 to allow LTE access.
Does anyone know how I go about getting this latest baseband or getting LTE as a network mode option?
Do I need to obtain the latest CSC/modem and flash with that? If so does anyone know where I can get this from? I have had a good look around and can only find the old Vodafone CSC which I am currently using. Can I just use the Telstra Baseband?
Or am I way off and someone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Installed the following and so far so good. Not in a 4G area ATM but will update once I have done some more testing. So far the 3G speed tests are noticeably better.

[q] s4 i337m Telcel 4.3

Hi guys, i just recently upgraded from a SGS 2 Skyrocket T-mobile rooted running KitKat 4.4.2
to a SGS 4 I337m running android 4.3 from the mexican company Telcel (I´m living in Mexico)
The s4 is now rooted and running CWM v6.0.4.7
I generally didn´t have any problems installing custom roms for the S2 since most were highly compatible with the model
but I´m having a HARD AND CONFUSING time deciding what roms are compatible with my mexican(telcel) s4 since on the descrpitions for
most roms they only mention compatability to models like (AT&T, Tmobile, Canadian and its variants)
I understand that the Canadian model is also I337m and At&T is I337so my question is
IF I install a rom designed for the Canadian model I337m, shouldn´t it also be compatible for my Mexican Telcel I337m???
if so, then whatever issue should arise in the future which I hope does not happen, Can i simply rely on the tutorials for the Canadian model or perhaps??
(obviously if I somehow softbrick this phone I´m not going to use canadian firmware but the one available for my region)
NOTE: I have looked all over to and read forums but I just can´t get a specific answer, please help!
and I dont want to test it all out on my own because the last thing I wanna do is Damage the phone THANKS!!

I can tell you that I have flashed the Canadian Rogers ROM I337MVLUFNC1 from Sammobile (flash instructions are included in Sammobile's webpage) and it works perfectly fine with Telcel's i337m. I have used it with Telcel's 4G network and Movistar's 3G network with no issues at all.
I should warn you that I have only used ROM I337MVLUFNC1 , there are two newer ROMs from Rogers that I have not tried. After installing Roger's ROM, you can continue to root as you did with your original Telcel ROM.
Cheers

Need some help please! What stock ROM to use - original carrier or current carrier?

Hi all,
I need to reflash my stock ROM (HTC One M9) after it got bricked. As usual, there are a number of stock ROMs available based on carrier. The phone was originally Rogers when bought, unlocked, then placed on the Virgin Mobile (Bell) network.
Should I flash the Rogers ROM or the Bell ROM?
