[Q] Telstra firmware on AT&T tab?

Hi,
I'm in NY at the moment but I'm headed back to Australia later in the week. The AT&T Galaxy Tab is $649 and the Telstra version is $840. I gather that SIM unlocking either version is not a problem. I spend a fair bit of time in both places. As the Telstra version has voice enabled, I was wondering if it's possible to simply flash the Telstra firmware onto the AT&T Tab? Would this cause any issues? Would it then be essentially an identical device to the Telstra sold tab?
Thanks.

It looks like you will be the first to find out. Sorry couldn't help mate

Find us Telstra firmware and we can at least test that the phone works here in some way.

I posted a similar Q a while ago. I want to flash my T-mobile Tab into a generic Euro (GT-P1000). After that I would like it to work with upgrades through Kies etc.
If I just understood the risks or pro/cons I would go.

I bought the telstra tab. It is unlocked out of the box and has voice enabled. It uses the same bands as att. So I am guess ing this firmware would work fine on an att tab.

It should, but please follow my backup thread and backup your existing firmware before you flash the Euro firmware. Someone, maybe even you, may need it someday.

I don't think I will need to flash any other firmware. The telstra firmware has voice calling and side loading enabled out of the box. It is also sim unlocked. I should be able to put my att sim in, change the apn and go!

What SBF?

I have a Milestone with Viaero. A small company in the middle of the US. They have GSM version of the Mileston but I don't know which. Is there a way to tell what SBF file to use? Thanks for the help guys.

The quickest thing is to check the FCCID in the battery compartment:
IHDP56KC1: CDMA (this is the Droid, rather than a milestone)
IHDP56KC2: Dual band 2100/900MHz UMTS, Quad band GSM
IHDP56KC5: Triple band 850/1900/2100MHz UMTS, Quad band GSM
Since you are in the US, it's very likely that you have the KC5 version, and should use the North America/Latin America versions.
Or you can install any version you like, and then update the radio files to the correct ones.

sorry it took so long I just checked and I have the KC2. What would you recommend? Can I get a link on how to flash the radio? Thank you

I'm not sure, but IF it is the milestone, you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196
This is my thread which tells you how to install a leaked 2.2.1 file, root, and get into androidani recovery. There are baseband options in androidani open recovery.
ONLY IF IT IS A MILESTONE!!!!!! and im pretty sure the baseband options are all gsm. Also, there is a list of mostly all the roms available right now (most). Good luck!

[Q] Cyanogen v.s. AOSP rom? What am i doing wrong??

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?
Help?

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.

What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.

I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.

The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.

but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?

Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.

Have you set your APN setting right?

Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.

First, please ask questions in the Q&A section....(I might make that my new signature)
download a ftf for your phone model and flash it. Just exclude everything except baseband

[Q] Upgrade modem?

Hi. I'm currently on CM12 and I have been facing this problem(?) for a while now. Back when I was on stock 4.4.2, most of the time my phone is stuck on EDGE when I'm using my primary sim card (network A). In order to get 3G/4G signal, I have to explicitly choose a network operator. After a while, it reverts back to EDGE so I have to do that again. However, using my other sim (network B) doesn't have this problem. Now that I'm on CM12, I'm still facing the same issue. I can't use that fix since I think there's a problem with the rom itself when choosing the network. I'm thinking either this is a network error or a problem with the modem itself. I'm currently on NF1 and I'm wondering how to upgrade my modem to the latest one. Thanks!

Why switch modem if you think it's an issue with ROM?
Prerequisites to CM say nothing which modem you must have or that any of them are not good. CM don't change either bootloader, GSM or LTE modem.
CM provide RIL to communicate with modems.
QualComm based CM hasn't been able to manually search carrier since Aug 2014 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4902 and perhaps the decision to de-unify S4 CM can resolve this for Lollipop within a time frame of 3 months. [emoji12]
Please inform if you can find any chance log of what's fixed for different modem versions.

As I've said, this issue is also present when I was still on touchwiz/stock rom. And as you said, CM doesn't change the modem so the issue might be with the modem itself so I'm planning on upgrading to the latest one. Problem is, I don't know how to.
Just to be clear, I'm on EDGE most of the time on Network A on both CM12 and stock touchwiz rom. On Network B, I normally get HSPA+.

You should use the modem based on the country that you are using the phone as the bands available in each country and those included in the modem differ else you may have network issues, for more info refer to this post

Based from this, I need the modem that works with 1800/2500/2600 bands. I'm currently on NF1 and I have no clue which other modem works with the said bands. Help please?

Thank you! One question though, should I flash NI1_AUT_wifi_150107.zip as well? I'm not sure if that only applies if I'm on the WizCyan rom.
Just in case something wrong happens, if I go back to the stock rom using odin, will it revert back to the original modem?

Yes, the zip file applies to WizCyan ROM.
If you flash firmware the modem is included so yes it will revert to the modem in the firmware

Thank you so much! Will update if it works.
Edit: Successfully flashed the modem but I'm still stuck on EDGE. Oh well. At this point I don't what's the problem; is it my phone or the network?

So I managed to make it work by fiddling with the APN.
