Hi all ,
I would like to know if a baseband exists for the Lg Trill using T-Mobiles 3G/4G . The only reason im asking is because im with Simple Mobile right now and since they use T-Mobiles network I would like to get faster download speeds. BTW this baseband would have to work for GB. As I am currently using GB and I would like to keep GB. I would also like to know if there is a method if it was tested and if it was successful ? Thank You.
No amount of software can enable a radio band that isn't there. AT&T Thrill does not have 1700mhz band. That's like asking developers to create an app for the Thrill to shoot out an infrared beam to remote control my TV.
what version of gb you are running? was it the leak one or the official 21a kdz.
if u flash 21a kdz,file, then its very good chance that tmo 4g baseband already included, because i have o3d (p920) tmo version running 21a kdz and i get 3g/4g speed. as far as i know, thrill lack hardware 1700mhz band and that could be the reason no 3/4g on tmo or simple. however other user (p925) flashing 21a kdz file and using tmo, getting 3/4g speed. u might want to take a look at it

if you upgrade gb v21a kdz on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
then i think the tmo baseband is in there. not 100% sure, but that is the link that i upgraded my o3d and i am able to get 3/4g signal.
there is limitation, p925 technically lacks 1700mhz. radio band that uses for tmo 3/4g signal.

i feel you
p925 does not have hardware tmo 4g radio anntena inside (1700mhz). that is the reason probably why no 3/4g eventhough the sofware baseband is present. and about the phone under setting, it said so because the rom is build base on o3d. it can be changed to anything with editor and root
here is p925 specs

i don't know if there is any other way around. i am sorry about 3/4g data

i got the 3G to show but after a while it goes away and it stays at No Network. any solution?
what happens if you flash unlocked AT&T LG Thrill 4G with froyo to official V21A_00.kdz ? Do I lose the unlock?
UPDATE: It worked and I see 3G appearing on my display with t-mobile

Did you flash AT&T Thrill 4G Froyo baseband to V21A?
Can you be little more specific on what you did?
How did it change your phone? Did anything get improved?
I followed the steps for updating P920 to official V21A_00.kdz and it worked for P925 as well.
It improved in the sense that know I have FM radio app working and also I get 3G signal with T-Mobile, and also I get rid of At&t apps which do not work on T-Mobile.
I flashed Acura's rom on the O3D thread after flashing the GB kdz and now I'm getting 4g speeds on T-Mobile.

Good morning. I'm currently in possession of a rooted Lg Thrill. I am trying to flash the phone to a t-mobile base band as well. I'm curious did you root the phone and flash? Or did you download the foyo update and flash? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I first flashed it then I rooted it and then it was good. But if it goes into bootloop you would have to go into CWM and reset it and it will work perfectly.

So if I understand you correctly you have thrill 4g 3D(p925)
you flashed the 21a_00.kdz and now you have 3G on Tmobile?
Please share your steps to accomplish all of this
After getting much needed help, my daughter's thrill is now enjoying tmobile's 4g network, and she can now watch youtube, no buffering, netflix no buffering. Thanks to the dark lestat

are you saying that an att thrill phone can be used on simple mobile and get 4g by this method?
goog question, my dad has simple mobile and my daughter I have her thrill on T-mobile
after flashing BB my daughter's thrill gets very impressive speeds 7mbps down and 2.5+up, I will try my dad's simple mobile sim card on my daughter's thrill and see if infact is capable of receiving 3G speeds at least.
FANTASTIC
I see I'm not crazy so this can be done, I need the tutorial on how to do this PLEASE!! I've been searching for this for weeks and I'm sick and tired of edge, I need my 3 or 4g speeds! Please give me the link on how to do this and please make sure that all the steps are there. Many tutorials assume you know certain steps I need ALL OF THEM!! Thank you to all.
Hi all,
My friend has found this phone in The USA but he lives in Argentina. I have done a lot of research and fortunately there seems to be a way to make this Droid work on GSM bands. The problem is that i am all mixed up. I have read that I have to install the leaked version of ICS (6.13.219). My question is, how can I do that? That means doing a downgrade? Should I go back to GB?
Thanks in advance!

um there is no .219 for the US - I would suggest doing a search on "flashing bionic to GSM" - it should now be possible with the jellybean OTA.
hello everyone. im using att htc one that is rooted using viperone 2.6.0. the rom is great!!. im using t-mobile us but my problem is that i only get edge data. is it possible to get 4g ?? another stupid question. is it possible to load t-mobile software on it??. i really want to be able to get 4g on my phone. please help guys. i thank you all in advance.
You don't need to run tmo "software" on it. All GSM ones basically can run the same roms/software as far as custom roms go.
Have you checked your apn in settings? My guess is the current T-Mobile lte apn isn't selected or added.
