hey guys quick question
i brought a at&t nexus1 off ebay. the seller mentioned it will can and only work on tmobile 2g [i am t-mobile],
my question is if i factory reset/wipe the nexus1, does it lose complete compability with tmobile?
Factory reset only wipe data. you can still use the phone with tmobile
and still 2g only
so flashing roms, kernels, recoveries and all that good stuff, in the end i will still be able to activate the phone aka [ google sign in at the beginning activation ] with a tmobile sim card?

Yes. Just keep in mind that you'll need to stick with american firmware. With different ROM, you can even use 3g, but it depends on you provider too.

He will not be able to use 3G on Tmobile no matter what ROM he use.
The 3G limitation is a hardware issue.

Really? How so? Nexus One do support 3g. Isn't it matter of installed modem? But maybe T-Mobile has modified it somehow on hw basis...

There is two version of Nexus 1, one made for Tmobile frequency and one made for AT&T. While they are both sim unlock, you can put sim card from either carrier into the other and it will work as far as phone calls. For 3G support a Tmobile sim in a AT&T N1 will only work with 2G not 3G.

I suppose that it is only T-Mobile's fault, not phone's. Phone itself do support 3g, and I do suppose that T-Mobile has just disabled 3g on the SIM or on the modem's side.

How is it T-mobile's fault? Their 3G work on a certain frequency. AT&T 3G work on a certain frequency. If you buy a phone that does not work on your carrier's frequency, it's the buyer's fault*.
*Nothing against the OP in this post. He knew he bought a AT&T N1 and know 3G don't work on T-mobile.

yeah lol i dont even have data on my phone, so 2G / 3G doesnt even matter to me,
im just worried if it i factory/hard reset the phone, that the phone will "lock" back on AT&T.
but imo, since the N1 is carrier unlocked by nature, it will stay that way no matter what i do right?

True. So then we are back at my first point - wrong modem. It can be easily reflashed without loosing any data, so Nexus will operate on frq your provider uses.

You cannot change the operating frequency of the phone - it's a hardware limitation.
Maybe if you flash a new modem it can run on Verizon.

It'll be good if you actually read before making false statements and insisting on them.
Read the FAQ, question 13.
Nexus has 2 HW variants, with 2 different sets of 3 frequencies for each variant. The variants differ in HW and use exactly the same SW, including modem.

Installed Overcome 1.6.3 and Kernal 2.1.6 to my TMOUSA TAB. I also Unlocked via RotoHammer Hex Edit fix. I put in a Canadian Telus SIM card but the phone always gets signal and but it shows its on Roaming and wont make a phone call with the App. Do I need to reflash a different modem file that is compatible with Canadian Networks? Thanks!!

follow the howto unlock phone calls guide under xda galaxy tab bible, and try flashing the (modem_bell_i9000) modem.bin provided. (works great for me under overcome 1.6.4).
And if you would like to return the favor... and if you have a 5ghz dual-band router, please read my XDA post about Galaxy Tab Wireless-N at 5ghz. I could really use some constructive feedback there.
I hate to tell you this but unless you switch to Wind, you are SOL with Telus as they use the same spectrum as Bell/ATT/Rogers etc. Wind is like TMO in the states.

So the Tmobile versions don't support the other bands? If that is the case, I didn't know that.
I think Mobilicity.ca works on the same (AWS?) frequency as WIND also though.

Maybe. I can't see them working on some other frequency that nobody else uses. Maybe phone their tech support and ask if a TMob phone will work? Good luck to you.

The only way to get voice on your t-mobile tab is to find the roto modem switcher thread, and flash the roto-2g modem from there. Don't bother with the switch set up, because you won't get 3g anyway.
Is it possible to use the captivate (2010 year models) on Wind Mobile in Canada? I have a rooted and unlocked phone, but when I put a Wind Mobile SIM in the phone, it did not seem to show any service of any kind.
I do understand the phone is not capable of AWS, and I don't really care id I can get any data anyway, just voice would be great since I have wifi availble most of the times when I need it anyway.
I am willing to load whatever ROMs, modems, etc to get it working if its even possible.
Thanks!
No sorry, that's not possible. Try the T-Mobile version, unless you'd like to be roaming on Rogers all the time
you need APN settings for wind.call them and get them
So a rogers captivate will work on wind?
With the right APN settings I dont see why not.
False, it doesn't have the right frequencies to get reception.

Just to confirm, I can't even use my captivate on Wind even for voice only calling. Just want to make sure since this APN talk I figured was for data which I know won't work since its 1700/2100 AWS.
I only want to use Wind since there voice plans are so cheap, but I can not afford another phone at the moment.
Hey everyone.. I've been combing through forums for the past 5 hours trying to help out a buddy. He picked up an unlocked Verizon XT862 a while back, but we're having a heck of a time getting it on Manitoba's MTS network (partnered with Rogers in Manitoba, Canada). I put on .890, then rooted, safestraped, and tried Steel Droid. It won't find the MTS gsm network. I even have tried screwing around with a 883 radio and modified build.prop. It would be great if I could just run the Bell XT860 firmware as that would probably do it, but I have heard that's impossible. So has Verizon just locked the ever locking crap out of this things GSM or what? Any way I can get voice/sms/data working up here on this thing? I desperately need some help. Thanks!

i dont think verizon locked anything.... Im using a GSM simcard in Lithuania without any problems, try switching your phone Network Mode to Global or GSM/UMTS
Hm.. Okay thanks. I'm just reloading the SBF to get it back to stock. It will find Rogers, but I can never get it to see MTS for some reason. I will keep trying.
So I reloaded the SBF and same issues. When this phone is on Network Mode: GSM/UMTS , it finds Rogers 3G and 2G. If I pick Rogers 3G, I don't get any service. It just has the red No over the signal bars. If I switch it to Network Mode: Global, it gets almost full signal strength, but in *#*#4636#*#* its using the CDMA network. If I change the preferred network type to GSM only, it never finds anything (assuming its only looking for Verizon?). If I try GSM auto (PRL), then it doesn't find anything either. I just don't get why its not finding our MTS 3G network in Network Mode: GSM/UMTS.

Does it use the Rogers network, or have its own? What spectrum does it use? Are you sure the d3 supports its spectrum? I didn't see that info in my good search, although I did see they have a legacy cdma network, can you find that?
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
Endoroid: Thanks for the help. Yeah they used to be purely CDMA (EVDO and 1x), but they decided to partner with Rogers in Manitoba and share the HSPA+ (21Mbps) towers. As taken from their website: Please note that any unlocked device must support 4G North American Frequencies (850Mhz), older GSM devices will not function on our new 4G network. You can find out if your device is 4G compliant by reviewing the phone's settings.
So it looks like they operate on the 850Mhz spectrum, which should be fine for the quad band XT862. I'm not 100% sure if the network search should show up MTS 3G or not. I don't have an official MTS GSM phone to check it with. It does find the following two networls:
CAN Rogers Wireless Inc. 3G (302-720)
CAN Rogers Wireless Inc. 2G (302-720)
I would assume I should see something like: CAN MTS Wireless Inc. 3G (something here), but nothing ever shows up. If I select either of the Roger's networks, nothing ever happens. It just has the red block over the signal bars and it never grabs a signal. Then I randomly get the following popup:
Network Error
No GSM/UMTS networks were found. Would you like to switch to the Global mode?
I've had it pull the 1x legacy MTS CDMA network before. I think that might have been in Global mode.
So confused.
Okay I'm RSD'ing VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.xml back onto this thing. That should get me back to stock, right? I don't know why it doesn't just work with the stock setup. I really should, shouldn't it? It's unlocked, just load the apns and go? Weird. Does RSD'ing that file reset the radios and everything? I'm not sure what all has been messed with on this thing. I'd like it back to virgin if possible.
Edit: So I reload that file and it boots up asking about international roaming. I agree and it pulls a network. It's MTS 1x CDMA though. I put it to GSM/UMTS and do a network search and the two Rogers networks show up again. If I pick one of them, I instantly get a notification bar error about no service and selected network unable... I have an MTS SIM in this thing and the mts apn entered. So weird.
My buddy said at one point while he was messing with it, he had it find the MTS gsm network. He can't remember what rom or what he had done, but he still couldn't get data working. Only voice/sms. Should I try a different rom? Any suggestions?

I dont think rom will matter. You could try editing the build.prop. Change default network mode from 7 to 3 and verizon global phone from 1 to 0. These are the changes needed to get d3(cdma)roms to work on my xt860(GSM) .
You could add the apns to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml I don't think that will make any difference as it should read it from the sim, but never hurts to try.

That's exactly what I've been trying in regards to the build.prop. Doesn't seem like it ends up doing anything thouhg. Not sure. I will definitely try adding the apns to that other file though. Thanks again!

Hey guys.. I had sifted through most of that thread and attempted the radio and build.prop flash, but I was still having troubles. Maybe I'll give it another go. Thanks!
I'm trying to follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24176930&postcount=176 because I've never put .906 on this thing. I can get the chinese ota to install with rsd fine, but I'm having troubles getting the XT883 OTA.zip to flash. It errors out while installing with safe mode on. Should I be running a different recovery? Also, whenever I try to launch recovery from startup, it just triangle ! errors and dies. Something must be missing. Should I have CMW recovery on this thing instead or any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem.
I have an unlocked DROID 3, which is working perfectly fine for voice and SMS, but no Data.
I've tried flashing the XT883 radio img, which did nothing.
I'm thinking I might just flash the whole XT883 ROM onto it, maybe it'll make a difference?
But, in regards to your case, I do recall that someone mentioned not being able to get a data connection in Canada, en they had to play around with the libmoto_ril.so file.

Probably not. T-Mobile's and ATTs 3g bands were different frequencies (1700mhz vs 850/1900). However, in some places T-mobile has started to use 1900mhz and unlocked ATT devices will work. This seems to be random right now and even T-mobile support may not be able to tell you where.
Or you can do what I did, and get nrvate's CM10 build for the i957 (I'm a noob so no links for me yet) then flash this radio: Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip (Google it). I get full HSPA+ and have clocked DL speeds up to 19000kbs. Of course YMMV, and no guarantees that it will work for you, won't brick your tab or kill your pets.

Yeah it works well with the only problem being the power usage is rather high, and drains faster in idle. After looking at logcat I think this radio doesn't go into idle mode properly so keeps sucking power when not in use. Running it's a little less usage (maybe 30 min less) but on idle it drains in 24 hrs. Turning off 3g helps but for me I can live with this to get 20mb down. When ICS for the i957 finally shows up it should be possible to see a better radio get put in CM10 (which is still in early development, but that's what the ROM below is based on).
I'm using TWRP for recovery. After Clockwork being kind of wonky I have seen the light and use TWRP on all my devices. It just works.
The ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867579 and go to post#2. There are some issues but it runs remarkably well for being like 3 weeks old.
This is the radio I used from a Galaxy SII. Google Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip and get it from Dev Host. I found out about it looking at radios for similar hardware and found that the Note is close so I took a chace and did it. So far so good!

This is great to hear. I am going to hold off for now, as I would have to open a TMobile account, and I really dont NEED to have this until I start traveling in a few months.
Now what would be AMAZING, is if somehow this tablet could work on verizon. I have a huge corporate account with them and it would cost me next to nothing to add the tablet to the account, assuming it would work. I didn't think it was possible, but then again, I didn't think TMobile high speed connection was possible either.
Any idea if there is a way to get this working on verizon? Or if anyone is even trying?

I can tell you that is impossible. T-Mobile uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA. You can only put a SIM card device on GSM carriers (TMO and ATT).

I could not tell you as T-Mobile doesn't have LTE yet. TMO will use a band that the i957 can support, but it will probably take another radio (if any) to work. I've seen 21mb down from HSPA+ so even if I never see LTE I can't be too disappointed

Yes it is. The device was locked at ATT and AFAIK there is no other way other than going through a unlock service. I used cellunlocker.net. $25 and your IMEI gets you a code in a few hours.

As I said that is impossible because the carriers use incompatible setups. SIM card carriers (GSM) will only work with other SIM card carriers. Verizon uses CDMA with no SIM cards. The networks themselves are completely different and hardware cannot be hacked to work. Most of the world uses GSM with SIM cards and if you travel overseas, you'll need a GSM device to use unlocked devices on any networks. Blame Verizon for picking a standard that 80% of the world doesn't use
Has anyone tried flashing the tmobile high speed radio but on the current rooted stock ICS rom instead of the cm10 rom?
In other words, i have a stock rooted sgh-i957 on samsungs ICS rom and i want to be able to use tmobile high speed network (HSPA+). Does anyone know if thats possible?

Do I have to keep my connection on global if I get to an area that my LTE drops off to get 3g? I had it set to LTE but got the roaming so I put it on global got 3g then got LTE when I got service back. Is this the normal process? I just got nexus 6 and wasn't sure if this is normal. Running cm12

Set it to Global if your outside of US territory LTE (Recommended) if you're within the US. Always remember to enable Airplane mode or Reboot when making the changes as a precaution.

Global and LTE are exactly the same if you are using a Verizon sim card. Global just allows you to use a GSM sim (typically for overseas travel).
Ok so I noticed if it drops I don't get 3g so is their a way to get 3g. My situation is when I put my phone in my locker it loses 4g and would default to 3g now I just get a ! On the network signal. So did I lose ability to get on 3g. I think I read on here that can happen
Yes surely lost 3g cause if I switch to 3g it gives me the !. So how do I restore 3g

I had same thing. Turned on Allow Roaming Data, and it goes into 3g. I'm assuming that since I'm in my home area, this won't cause me incur roaming charges.
Anyone figure out a solution for this yet?

I'm not sure there's an issue to solve. Mine goes between lte and 3g with no issues.

Mine will get 3g just have roaming enabled. With the way big red is kinda makes me nervous. Do you need roaming enabled to get 3g?
My roaming is off and mine will go between 3G and LTE with no problems. It does that a couple times a day at my work.
I found that on stock ROM it switched 4g to 3g fine. On aosp Roms I need to have roaming data enabled to get 3g and it says I'm on network 0000000.
I remember santod040 fixing that issue on HTC one m8 or was it digitalhigh I don't remember.

Sorry, no I mean that is the correct description of what is happening. It is a rom issue. Stock works fine.

Ahh gotcha. Thanks
Can you people who are claiming that phone switches to 3g confirm that you are on Verizon? I was not aware that that this phone works on Verizon 3g since it is CDMA technology.

Yes am on vzw can get 3g without enabling roaming on stock rom, on custom roms at least the ones I've tried roaming needs to be enabled to have phone switch between 4g and 3g. N6 has only two variants us and the rest of the world. The us version has a cdma radio don't know about the other. Also on verizon there is no voice and data at the same time... yet may have it in the future.

My unlocked Nexus 6 is also defaulting to 3G unless I foce LTE in the testing menu.
Not sure what's up but I'm about to flash marshmallow today anyway.
