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?

correct, factory reset will only wipe data. out will not get lock into any network.

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.
I hope this thread hasn't already appeared. I searched on these forums but cant seem to find a similar problem!! SO here goes: I have an issue with the reception on this phone. Incredible S S710e,
Baseband version: 20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M
When the network mode is on GSM/WCDMA auto i seem to lose signal suddenly even in the middle of the city. I got a few suggestions that i should flash a new radio. But while messing around a little i changed the settings to GSM only i suddenly got a very stable and strong connection even in places where i used to get a weak 1. But by doing so i cant use 3G. Only edge. And my phone was bought in india. Its almost stock. Only rooted and unlocked at HTCDEV.com . Any idea why this is??

Gsm only supports edge connection. Cdma supports hspa and hsdpa+. Not sure about your whereabouts but Cdma is usually only strong in north America.

Did u have this issue even before activating 3G?? Because i started noticing signal loss only about a week after buying the phone when i activated 3G. Till then it was fine.

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?

Hello. Some one try to flash radio firmware from verizon sgs4(it has unlocked gsm) ? it work for nexus but vice verca
This method DOES NOT work. Sprint BLOCKS US GSM carriers. To get an international unlock you need to call sprint and ask for one. At this time there is NO way to get US GSM signal on the sprint S4.
EDIT: Apparently this will make your phone unable to connect to a femtocell. Be careful

Please let me know how the factory reset works out for you. My phone is officially messed up. My 3g was not working at all. I would only connect LTE. After troubleshooting forever with sprint, my 3G is working again but it is very slow. I also notice that it does not auto roam to Verizon at all.

How was the speed though? It may show "3G" but my guess is that it's really 2G speed or something on TW.

I've had massive issues with my 3g after this method. The 3g is super slow and I know something is not right. Is there an app that displays the cdma band that the phone is currently operating on? I read somewhere that it screws up the phones ability to access the cdma 850 band.

There is another thread that is similar to this for unlocking the sim. I tried it, and possible messed my phone up. I was getting slow 3g speeds and mobile data drop outs. I fixed my issue by doing a complete factory reset/ clearing NVRAM. This is how I did it:
Dial ##786#
Choose Reset
Enter MSL
Here is the thread I mentioned just in case one of you wants to look at it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
##786# as far as I know will restore your phone to stock .
##72786# should reset your network settings. Just make sure you are in a working 3G coverage area or have a WiFi connection or it wont re-activate. This method does not put your phone back to stock...just reactivates it on the network.
Sorry for the unusable info...
But i got this news from Sprint Htc One thread, that they are able to unlocked the device by simply rooting the phone and sending a line in terminal...
Is it possible to do this with ours?

1. You should be rooted
2. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
3. Run Terminal Emulator
4. Type "su" (excluding quotation marks) and grant it superuser permission
5. Type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (excluding quotation marks)
6. You will get menu on your HTC
7. In that menu, select "API", then scroll down 'till almost end and select "simlock"
8. Reboot the phone and hopefully it would accept GSM SIM
9. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
10.In the phone information section(the first one) set preferred network type to something that is GSM specific: "WCDMA Preferred", for example. The phone will switch to GSM mode

No, as we have a locked boot loader. Trying will most likely brick your phone. WIFI calling doesn't work on AT&T as it is not supported by AT&T. That is why you don't see it on any ROMS for AT&T. Would be nice.

I have an ATT Note 3 with T MO software. It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install. Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER.

Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Adding the additional TMO was a lil pain until I figured it out it was cake.

Hi,
I am planning on installing "TweakedN3 2.0 UVUBMI7 4.3 SM-N900T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ... for AT&T!" this weekend. Can you tell me how and what what you did in the Modificatinator to include TMO ?
Thanks!
So I loaded the Tweaked rom on my N3 and it is pretty impressive. The only thing that doesnt work is WIFI. ANNOYING. It hangs at "enabling wifi" Unsure why. Seems to do this with all the non Aroma TMO roms except Elite S5 port.
You must use the wifi fix, umm its around, I do not have it on me, PM me to remind me, I will upload it when I get home. :good:
Hello - I have the same situation as those in this thread. Got a deal on an AT&T Note 3 unlocked, but am on T-Mobile's network. I'm using the Alliance T-Mobile ROM for the AT&T Note 3 and everything is great except wifi calling doesn't work. Always get a ER041 DNS error or hangs when trying to switch wifi calling settings. Since I'm on T-Mobile's network, shouldn't I be able to use wifi calling? This shouldn't be a radio issue but rather a software one I would think.
To add to this, the following post mentions this feature is at the kernel level and wifi calling will not work. Not sure if this can be confirmed or there is truly a fix.
This wifi 'fix' that was mentioned; does it exist and do you or anyone have the link? TIA

Wifi calls working?
I was wondering if you ever got the wifi calls and texts to work on your SM-N900A? If so, what did you have to do? If I can't get it working I might just go back to my S3, only because I work at ExxonMobil and all the buildings out here are "blast proof" causing zero cell signal.

You can't get tmobile wifi calling to work, but you can get a Google voice number then installed Hangout dial to work as wifi calling, I have same experience since I never got signal in my office. So I use google voice all the time, well i need tell others my phone numbers though. it is free to call within US, and Canada, other place i think there is charge.
Cool, I'll do that. Thanks.
