I have no idea. It pisses me off. There is no reason to NOT have another forum... THE GSM RADIOS WILL BRICK THE NEXUS S 4G, THE ROMS DON'T WORK, THE KERNELS NEED MODIFICATION... IT IS A DIFFERENT DEVICE!!!!!!!!

sorry wrong thread

...
I agree. Too easy for a newb to brick their phone. Just left Tmo and my N1 for Sprint. GO TO HELL AT& T!

When the cdma Hero first came out we at least had a sub-form dedicated to it until the number of posts grew and its own form was justified.

Seeing as all roms will need to be modified to work with the NS4G, a new forum should be created. Mods need to quit dragging their feet on this.
-Ash-

I agree that the gsm and cdma needs their own forum sections. I won't demand anything from the mods because I used to be one and have an idea on what they in through. I agree that newbs and others might accidentally flash the wrong thing and hose their phone. I am very cautious about flashing anything with this phone because of some of the horror stories i've read. There are some things that I am interested in messing with but there's nothing in the description that says which ones it does and doesn't work with. OP maybe you could change the title of this thread to something to do with requesting a separate ns4g section to reduce the confusion and people messing with the wrong flashes.
+10!
That might catch the attention of a moderator more.

who cares about the newbs. every flash on the forum is the user's responsibility. not the OP.
should the OP include the ROMs that are compatiable? yes.
will it get dual support? possibly. your first is relatively new, give it sometime to adjust
i strongly disagree with a new forum. thats like saying the G2 and Desire Z should get different forums... they both share the same forum.
like i mentioned, you're just splitting the community for a minor change. ROMs will get NS4G support (dual support is even possible.. netarchys kernel works on ns4g), give it time.

Nice.

To try and make things a little more organized I also made a Reference thread for the Nexus S 4G peeps here

You were a newb once too there, big shooter. Take it easy.

well said

Talking about splitting the whatever. I forgot where the thread was that had a link to a google developer discussion page. I remember netarchy was saying something about it too. Anyways, there's two separate "versions" of the nexus software. Crespo and crespo4g. It was mentioned that because of gsm and cdma the two can't be merged together (for now).

Im trying to figure out where in the system files the OS looks for GSM or CDMA. The roms for nexus s will boot. No service tho. Probably really complicated in Services.jar
Uncle Jimmy says hello

ok the g2 and the dz share the same everything, the radios can be flashed willy nilly..

[Q] How do I get a forum started?

I've seen support for the big carriers and I'm trying to get a forum started for US Cellular's Samsung Galaxy S 3 rather than posting about it in the wrong forum.
SO who would go about taking care for that or how would I?

For a new device forum, you would usually go to the link in my signature. But, since that device's forum already exists, you may not have much luck getting a carrier specific one for it started. You could try PM'ing an admin, but the chance is still very low unless there is a great demand for it.

Calling All Nexus 5 LTE bands modders...

So it looks like both the Xperia and Galaxy dudes can enjoy unlocked LTE bands on their Qualcomm powered phones. I found this tutorial here
I was able to go through the entire tutorial. The problem is that upon reboot the settings will revert back to their original parameters.
Has anyone have successfully unlock world LTE bands on the LG D820..?
Also while trying to backup the original configuration of my phone using the QPST tool, my Nexus asks for an "SPC" unlock code which i do not know what it is... The software fails to retrieve the dump because of lack of this code.... does anyone know how to retrieve this code from the phone..? i sure do not know what it is...

This is not a galaxy. Not one person in this forum has "unlocked", "activated" of "added" any LTE bands. What's more, this question is asked on a daily basis.

I know and have read people unlocking qualcomm devices left and right... just haven't seen any Nexus 5 traffic.... did you guys read the threads on the links i posted..? these mods are for Qualcomm devices... not just Galaxys and Xperias... there were mere examples...

I don't need to read them. I've seen them before. No one on this forum has activated, unlocked or added any LTE bands to the Nexus 5.

All the threads i have found so far as in regards to what works out of the box in other areas... modem flashes and so on... nothing proactive like the threads i have found in other forums..... There are Chinese dudes using their D820 in china right now...? how do i know..? i got results through Google in Chinese. The problem is that when you push those sites through translate, they dont make any sense. Furthermore, illustration materials posted are all in Chinese since they are graphics..... But really nothing in regards to how to unlock Qualcomm devices for other LTE bands... there is a difference... It may seem to you that they are the same but the questions are NOT.... i have posted the threads so that you can perhaps put down the sniper rifle and do some clicking... and read..!!!! nothing more..! if you have heard or read anything, awesome..! post it...! if you haven't then perhaps this would be an opportunity to check out these threads.

You seem to be ignoring the facts. There are threads here discussing modifying the LTE bands at length. No one here, on XDA has managed to unlock, activate or add LTE bands to the nexus 5. I know this because I've ready every single thread in the nexus 5 forum about LTE bands. I've read every answer and read every link similar too those that you posted today. No one here has done it. I've told you this no less than 3 times now.

all right.... like i said! i have successfully rewritten the NV Bands String from stock to one that supports European bands. It loads it in memory and it seems to work well switching from Edge to HSPA+ very quickly unlike the stock string that took for ever to do the same switching.... haven't tested LTE because there is none in my area.... the problem is that upon new NV bands strings gets overwritten by the default string and the problem ensues... i will try to head on to Regensburg tomorrow and test

The amount of threads that have been created just for this silly thing.. Seriously, I don't see why. People should just get the right model, or get a different device.

The funny thing is this guy said he searched and couldnt find any other threads, yet I searched and found a thread with posts by him...

If you're onto something please contribute to one of the existing threads, don't start another one.
Thread closed.

Bits and bobs still missing but this looks promising...

Anyone thinking they'll try it when it's all complete?

Why are you posting this clickbait article here? Those are generic instructions for every phone out there.

Actually, they're not. I didn't post a clickbait article at all. I posted one that I was looking around the web for and found this. I'm sorry if you feel it's clickbait, I don't think it is. Matter of fact, there are parts of it still to be updated once the device IS released. Maybe reading it would help rather than just dismissing it out of hand.

I don't mean to burst your bubble but I think you are wrong, it is clickbait - there is no recovery - no idea if one will even be avaialble at this time. Bootloader unlocked is a complete unknown right now - so the web site you linked to and many others I have seen everytime a new phone is released (yes they did this for the S7 Edge (us and international varients too) long before the phone had even shipped - I don't know if the people responsible for this web site did the S7 Edge site that was nearly identicle to this one or not - but they are selling ads and looking for click thrus using rooting the S8 as the attraction - and frankly, while the instructions are fine (minus the important links for TWRP) - they are the exact same instructions any samsung phone would have - nothing new here at all.

Thats exactly what makes it clickbait, its unfinished with no files, i could of posted the same thing. Besides root articles come from xda first not some no name mytechvirus website.

article seems to be clickbait dude, literally ctrl+F ctrl+C CTRL +V to make it seem for S8+. so far I have heard that the snapdragon S8+, all US models, have a locked bootloader, can't say about the exonys model.

I've messaged the moderators to remove the thread. Apologies.

Boy Howdy these Xda members know whats up.

Thread closed on OPs request.

Wording is a little crass for my taste. But you're not wrong, and I do fully agree with your point. To the top poster, the forum works best for everyone, when folks take a few seconds to describe their issue/question. This being a Q&A section, literally everyone posting here wants "Help". More specific thread titles not only keep the forum organized (instead of a clutter of useless thread titles), but will get you better/faster answers. Since a good thread title will attract users familiar with your question.

You're talking about a SM-G975U, which by my information is a US variant of the Samsung Galaxy S10+. Are you convinced you wanted to raise your question in the OnePlus 7 Pro forum?
If you want I can move your thread to the S10+ forum.
