I have flashed the uro rom of the galaxy tab on a us sgh-1987 att samsung tab , i inserted my at&t sim card and it will not allow me to make calls . Can some point me in the right direction to fix this. The at&t sim card i am using has voice and data. Or have i not done something properly.
You need to be using a different modem than the one included in the Euro rom. I believe either the Bell Canada or Rogers modems should work to enable voice on ATT. I'm using the Euro JMI rom with the Bell JK5 modem and it works fine for me.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273
I followed the instructions and for some odd reason the sim that came with my samsung is the only one that will work even though my phone is unlocked and i am using another att sim card that has voice and data.
And when i go to check wireless settings it keeps me me in flight mode.
Using JMIv2 here. Just made a call -- seems fine.
I full flashed JMIv2 over top of JMEv4.
Your not doing something correct.
Also please post in the correct subforum. This in no way has anything to do with android development. This belongs in general. Read much??

Pls change the title of your post. It's completely baseless, and it's obvious you did something wrong. Thanks!

Weren't you on other threads contradicting people about 3g+ voice using service menus?
I am confused about your setup - what model tab? I thought you had t-mobile tab.
Anyway, on an at&t tab use the bell i9000 modem. Check your apn and network mode afteryou reboot.
The iemi blocking by t-mobile stops people from using data.
And besides clubtech does a perfect write up to get everything working. SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND.
Good point!
Thank you
i appreciate the advice in pointing me in the right direction. but it seems like a lot of you aren't very newbie knowledge friendly. i posted what i was experiencing in the hopes of getting a point in the right direction. not a solution. turns out my Sim card was corrupted. all i had to do is go and grab a new one. i apologize if my question seemed too basic and trivial to you . but it turns out that i just made a logical investigative approach to my problem . I followed rotos guide to the letter so i assumed that AT&T had also latched on to the idea of imei blocking. I have done several apps for the android market ,and am constantly wanting to learn more . some of you have great skill sets but no patience for new comers. but all in all i will not post in the forum anymore if it involves being downgraded for simply asking for help, isn't this why we have forums for the techs the geeks the cpu nerds. who would have thought amongst intelligent people we still deal with aristocracy .
i did have a t-mobile tab and then returned and bought att tab and it works just fine now . like i said in the forum i am learning so please bear with me
Aristocracy has and will always be common among us nerds blame it on our our societal influences.
Regardless of that, people are more upset about you not searching the forum/threads. Please use the search option , it will save us all time and wasted bandwidth. Also post in the correct sub forum. This section is meant for what it was named for, development only. There is a general/ Q&A section.
Once again, I can't stress the search feature enough. It will seriously help. I promise.
Not flaming you, just trying to help direct you
i appreciate it thank you
hey guys im on roto's v4 and it works for both tmous and att

I have moved his over to the appropiate section and copied and pasted my question.
I am new to this forum and apologize for my noobness in advance as i wasn't sure either to post this here or in the Android Software and Hacking General section and i appreciate any comments as i understand i am new here and have contributed nothing to this forum. Here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a t mobile g1 from a friend about two weeks ago because i was interested in the android OS. Being in the UK it is locked to the T-mobile network which my existing sim is orange. I understand that there was a developers ROM that was released (codenamed holiday (adp 1.1)) which allows other networks to be used on the g1 e.g orange etc as its a developer version. I was wondering what compatible ROMS for the g1 (htc dream) that would allow me to use my orange sim. Again i really do appreciate nay comments and help i receive and understand i have not contributed to this community and it is highly rude to ask for something when given nothing.
Changing the ROM on your device will not unlock it so that you can use it on any network. You need to get an unlock code for your device. T-Mobile US will give these out to their subscribers but I don't know about your carier. If they don't you can get it online too. They will need your phone's IMEI to generate the code. Just put in the new SIM and it will prompt you for the code regardless of the ROM you have.
isnt there such a thing as a hardware unlock though if i use a custom rom?. I brought this phone from a friend so i doubt phoning t-mobile will help get me a code.
p.s. cheers for taking the time to comment
No, I'm fairly sure the only way to unlock this device is what I posted above.
i thought you just needed a t-mob sim to login and then you were free to choose after this whole rooting/flashing thing.
its already a long time ago, so i might confuse a lot and its only that what i think to know. nothing sure..
i wanted an android phone and my friend was saying i culd get his off him and i thought that be a perfect time to get into the android os and stuff, i wasnt ure if i coulld by rooting/flashing that id be able to use another network thats why i wondered if i flashed it to a deveopler rom the adp1 one i could us another sim, i will look into the method beav_35 put but im not sure on any reputable sites to trust to do this method.
Damn, wrong forum. This should have gone in the general discussion forum. I'm really not sure why it's here, I must have been looking at two pages. Sorry.
A buddy has offered to sell me his TP2. He's on T-mobile, I'm on ATT. If he gets the unlock code, can I just pop in my ATT sim and start using it or do I need to do something else?
Also, once I get to know the phone I'll probably want to install one of the custom ROMs; are there problems with doing this?
Thanks in advance. Yes, I searched the forums. I have been active on the ATT TP forum, so I'm going to be new here! Hope this forum is as friendly as that one is!

yes put your sim card in and it will work, and no there is not any problems with flashing custom roms you just have to read the guides before you do anything, mostly if its your first time, first you have to HardSPL the fone if not done already, there is a guide for that, and then you should task29 the fone then flash xD also you can flash a radio, look through these forums and you will fine how to complete these, good luck!
Thank You!
Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear! I'm getting the phone tomorrow, so I look forward to checking this forum out more thoroughly!
The only other thing you may want to take note of is that you will not be able to access AT&T's 3G network on the T-Mobile Touch Pro2. The hardware radio does not support their 3G network. EDGE and GPRS will work fine, however.
My wife decided that she wanted a Galaxy Tab and eventually found one at a decent price. It showed up today and is in great condition and appears to be running a stock ROM. I have a few questions about it and I figured I could get some help here.
It is a CDMA Tab that was subsidized by U.S. Cellular. We don't have that provider locally and I was wondering if it would be compatible with another carrier. My wife doesn't care if it isn't though, she only wanted it for WiFi around the house.
Also, is there any major differences with the U.S. Cellular version that I should know about going in before I drop a ROM on it? And for that matter can anyone recommend a ROM? Thanks in advance for the help.
More info (If you need it):
Hardware Version: SCH-I800.0.3

Mate, try the developement section... The roms are there, incuding the gingerbread update, you should find all the info you need there but please read the threads...

You'll get a lot more help if you show you have read up a bit... Check out the overcome thread for his guide to flashing, there's also some others around, generally for gingerbread, that are helpful...
Cheers...
i know i previously opened this thread in the development section, and so many other members where complaining that i posted this in the wrong thread, so yeah maybe i did my bad it was my first opened thread so stop hating. I re-posted this so i can get some insight if this is possible.
"Alright guys so reason why i opened this thread is because do to the fact that AT&T is nothing but a pure monopolistic (wants to control everything) company and as we are all aware there is no unlimited data plans, i have always wanted to know how to "Trick" if i may say, AT&T to thinking were using a so-called "Dumb Phone" thus vise versa a smartphone such as the good old Samsung captivate. I have read other threads about similar issues and achievements on using one dumb phone to activate there data and then switching there SIM to the smartphone but to be fully honest no one has posted steps or a how-to tutorial on how to do this precisely."
If you happen to be one of those that knows how to do this, can you be kind enough to share us your knowledge and post to us some happiness once and for all Thank you!!
What you want to do involves changing your imei which is illegal and XDA does not allow instructions on how to do this. Please search as it would have showed you that all these threads are closed disscusing this.
II've unlocked my phone already, root access. the whole 9. Phone only reads T-mobile sim card. Not my metropcs sim card. No GSM service. only CDMA. I've ran down so many forms. Every time I think i find something. Its just a troll that says he has it working but explains nothing. Shows nothing so the thread ust die. Can someone that has a working sprint HTC ONE on metropcs"call,text,internet,picture messaging,3g or 4g". Simply post what they did or even make a back up of your phone and post it so the rest of us can have the same privilege. Please do not send me a link to some thread that I've already been to. That gets rather annoying. hell if you can do it for me. I'll pay you. im on 4.3 bad boy sprint one sense 5.5 v1.3 PRI 4.38_003 PRL 01005.

Without trying to sound like a jag, you said you've done everything, but not once do you mention FLASHING TO METROPCS. You can unlock and setup the GSM stuff all day long and get no love. It has to be flashed to the carrier before it will work for it. There are quite a few places that offer that service, with guarantees, since you brought up paying. Makes sense to check them out. I saw a few while researching this, but you want no links so I'll let you do your own homework. BTW, I understand your frustration; the problem is, this phone CAN be made to work in the way you are looking for, but it isn't really designed to work that way, no matter what certain people or threads say. So, be aware that you are likely to be disappointed with the outcome anyway. From what I've read, expecting anything more than 3G and crappy data on GSM in the US is expecting too much. My penny and a half. Good luck!
