Unable to logon to LTE network (T-Mobile, Europe) ?? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hi,
I got from my friend HTC Velocity 4G from Telestra network.
I installed new official ICS ROM from telestra and I'm using this phone in europe on t-mobile network.
I have question regarding connecting to LTE network. Telestra, and T-Mobile in my country have LTE network on 1800 MHz frequency, but I can't log on to LTE network in my country. I tried few other official ROM-s (Cingular, SKT, Vodafone, ...) but all other networks have LTE on different frequencies and I assume that is the reason why I can't log on to my LTE network.
I even try force logon via USSD code *#*#4636#*#*, but without success. All other 'technologies' works awsome (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA).
I'm noob, so can anybody tell me is there any other way to logon to my LTE network.
I also have Huawei Speedstick LTE and with my SIM card I can logon to my LTE network so there is no problem with LTE subscription or my SIM card.
Is there any radio that I need to flash so I can logon to my network ?
THNX in advance for answers ?

So your service provider is Telstra, correct
Sent from my De-Sensed HTC Vivid using xda app-developers app

Could be wrong...but I think it requires both the 1800 and 2600 frequencies...I remember reading somewhere that one was for down and the other was for up or something like that...I'll try and find it and clarify
But again I could be wrong...I know little when it comes to phone frequencies and how they are actually used...
Second post has what I was referring to in more detail...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338028 don't know the credibility of all that...but seems logical to me...then again like I said earlier I know little about service/frequencies...

Nope, my service provider is T-Mobile Croatia. Here in Croatia we have LTE network on 1800 MHz, and that is the reason why i flashed with Telestra ROM, telestra also have LTE network on 1800 MHz frequency.
I tried few other ROMs that I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338919 but with no success regarding LTE which is logical because cingular, SKT, vodafone....they have LTE networks on other frequencies.
I think that I could solve my problem by flashing radio, but I can't find anywhere some other radio for my Velocity/Raider/Vivid...

I don't think that even with s-off we can flash radios...
Something about an engineering hboot that we don't have... I might be wrong though....

Yes, I read about that too, but I think that is important for USA where they have 2 LTE frequencies, and here we only have 1800 MHz.
Do you know where I can download some radio roms ?

Yes, but I am not in the US so I asked a buddy of mine to buy it for me. The problem is that he do not remember what he choosed. And I am Having issues connecting to 3G in my country and I think it is because my phone is running on 900MH and the provider offers on 850.
if your phone is PB99110 (check underneath battery) then it is AT&T model with 850 MHz 3G freq

2 bad for me. Thank you guys a lot. Now I have to sell this phone
talk to Google and you guys are right about two different phones but they say that as soon as you tell them your carrier (when you buy it )they give you that specific one like me i got PB99100 and is a t mobile network, cause if you would have a att version it wouldnt work on it ...cause att has (1900mhz)have a higher frequency than tmo (1700mhz) that's what they told me so guys don't trip.....
i have a problem, because im terribly confused....
you see.. i live in the dominican republic, and i have a nexus one... my numbers are PB99100, and i know for a fact that the UMTS/HSPA frequency for my carrier is 900mhz, same as T-mobile, and for some reason i cannot get my 3g network to connect... im fine as long as im in 2g only... as soon as i switch, i hey the little H sign, and then nothing happens, i cant navigate, or even make phone calls, cant do anything...
so i was wondering, the PB99100 is the version that is compatible with the 900 frequency, and thats the one i have... and it doesnt work....
can you please help me?
im in the Dominican Republic, and my Carrier is Orange Dominicana.
thanks!
Perhaps your phone is using an older "radio"? I had woeful issues connecting to 3G here. Updated to 5.08 radio and never looked back.

Radio is also known as your baseband and can be found under Settings -> About Phone.
5.08 is usually the recommended version.

Wind optimus 2x p999 unlock to rogers

I think it's not possible, they use different networks, I know it because at some point I tried to activate an iPhone 3G with them and I would only get 2G signal... Don't know the details on the specs tho.

Hi,
I have a friend that has a CM7.2 Canadian Rogers O2x and they want it unlocked for Bell.
I myself know how to port ROMs, write guides, and do HTC S-OFF but I've never done a SIM unlock before and I don't know the method for anything other than HTC. I tried going on that Octopus Tool site but my computer said it was malware.
Thanks
Hey, so was anyone able to get the LG g2x p999 to work with Rogers 3G?
Sorry to say this, but you are out of Luck. The p999 only works on 3G on tge AWS band. It is disabled. A few of our members tried to re enable it, but it didn't work.
You can use it on Rogers, but only 2g

Will the SU660 work in the UK?

I am in South Korea and will be moving to the UK soon.
I have the SU600 on SKT in Korea. It is rooted and I'm running Kangs CM on 4.0.3.
If I buy a UK sim card when I arrive, will the phone work fine for calls/messaging/data? I looked on gsmarena and the 2G frequencies seem to match up. But the 3G on the phone is HSDPA, but GSM arena says the UK needs UMTS 2100. Will it still work?
Would I need to get it unlocked in Korea before I leave?
Thank you

From my experience, having a custom rom is effectively same as having a sim unlocked phone. So based on what you wrote, I have every expectation that you'll successfully use at least the 2g network in UK.
I bought my su660 in Korea too and now I am using it in the US. It turned out, however, that I cannot use the 3g hspa network here with T-Mobile because they require phones having both 1900 & 2100 bands. So I am stuck with just 2G for now.
So I would do careful research on what bands UK operators use before you head on over, especially if you really need 3g speed and if you are not planning on buying another phone anytime soon. I hope you will be in better luck than me.
Bon voyage and good luck!

You are wrong sim unlock has nothing to do with root/custom ROM. He has to unlock the SIM before.
And to unlock you need a STOCK LG ROM, froyo or gingerbread, as it needs lge hidden menu which isn't present in custom ROMs.
I unlocked last week I had to reflash a froyo LG Stock ROM.
Some people say that putting a SIM card from a different network pops up the unlock option at boot but couldn't try.

I imported an ATT Atrix for using in Mexico with Telcel Carrier, and when I first inserted the Telcel Sim Card, the Sim Unlock Menu popped. So yes, maybe your Optimux 2x is already unlocked.
Anyway, you can unlock your phone anytime and in anyplace. Just insert a sim card from another Carrier Company and the option should be showed.

Cool, I will check the SIM unlock then.
How about the frequencies it uses?
According to gsmarena the SU660 has 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA
The UK frequencies for 2G are Required GSM 900. Recommended GSM 900 and GSM 1800. and 3G Required UMTS 2100.
I'm guessing that this means the 2G will work, but 3G won't? Can someone tell me if this is correct, I don't fully understand what it means with the SU660 having HSDPA. Is this a different to UMTS??
Hsdpa is UMTS.

GSM arena has insufficient info. Check out http://www.phonegg.com/compare/27/LG-Optimus-2X-vs-LG-Optimus-2X-SU660.html
From what I see there and what you described about UK operators, it seems like you will be able to use 3g.

That could be a bit misleading because the 2x I have here in Australia has 2100 and 900 but no 850. 850 is used exclusively by one carrier here.
So, the link may depend on in which region the 2x is sold.

No one here is going to be able to answer this as this forum is 99.9% US Sprint customers. This is something you'd have to get from a Vodafone India customer, which won't be in this forum.
I can tell you that a lot of people have struggled to get the Sprint phone working properly in other countries as although it takes a SIM, it really was only designed and tested on Sprint's CDMA network (totally different technology to GSM). It does support the Vodafone India 3G frequencies.
You could try to flash a custom ROM maybe based on AOSP which might give better luck connecting to international networks.

Your S.O.L. ...Google that phrase
You might have better luck asking other members who have successfully unlocked and are using vodaphone also in India. This user here seems to have it unlocked and is on 3G on vodaphone in India. You should probably send him a message and ask him and hope for a response. The fact is the majority of the us will have no info since we are on Sprint in the US.

Update: it works. I installed BadBoyZ 4.3 ROM and then replaced the OMADM apk using TWRP and fixed permissions. The app then successfully launches the API but i manually had to select the sim unlock option and viola it was done. rebooted and got network. Using on Vodafone 3G India currently.
I suspect that the previous attempt to unlock on 4.3 OTA failed since i tried the deodexed apk on stock odexed rom. if someone flashes stock 4.3 deodexed rom and tries the same, might work correclty.
Also please note that if you flash a rom cooked with an older base(non 4.3 base), the touchscreen wouldn't work as HTC has updated the drivers on 4.3 OTA and they are not backward compatible with older Base.

Correction: according to the box for the sprint HTC one, it supports UMTS on 1900/2100 and my Googgling showed Vodafone India uses 2100 mhz umts for 3g so it is possible.

it supports some gsm radios. i know it supports the most popular european used gsm freq. but it doesnt contain all the gsm freq that the international or normal gsm version has.
it only supports up to hspa+ on the sprint htc one. no lte. thats how it was when i was traveling europe.

[Q] How to get LTE working in Europe

I have HTC One Sprint Sim unlocked. It works well in GSM networks, however I recently visited Sweden and Poland and was unable to get my GSM sim to work there, maybe this is a roaming issue. However I plan to relocate to Sweden and i want to get LTE working there. Sprint has LTE freq at 1900 Mhz, and in Europe you'll mostly get 1800 Mhz. Is there any way to get LTE working at Europe?
