[Q] LG Thrill 4G on T-Mobile 3/4G and Rooting - LG Thrill 4G

Well I have an LG Thrill 4G on T-Mobile's 4G network. But I only get "EDGE" Service.
I was told that T-Mobile's network is 1700 mhz and my phone is a 1900 mhz phone so it wouldnt work out. But then I tweeted T-Mobile about it and they said that they are upgrading their towers or signal, whatever its called. to 1900 mhz. So I'm assuming that if they do that I will get 3G and 4G speeds. If that doesn't work. Does anyone know how to get up to 3G & 4G speeds?
My phone has the OFFICIAL 4.0.4 ICS update in it that AT&T released.
I have a Micro Sim Card from T-Mobile.
Software information,
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - OMAP4430/XMM6260
Kernel version - 3.0.21
Build number - ICS
Software version - P92530b
I was rooted when I had 2.2.2 froyo and 2.3.6 gingerbread but when I got ICS it was erased and I don't think theirs a way to hack into it yet.. unless any of you guys know? well yeah I need help

Root lg thrill android 4.0.4
this page has a link to root it but its in Portuguese... use google traslate.

Have you checked your APN settings? Make sure they are using the tmobile 4g network settings. I can post then if you need.

LG Thrill T-Mobile USA Baseband?

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.
you can check more on this thread similar topic

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
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_thrill_4g-3886.php
i don't know if there is any other way around. i am sorry about 3/4g data

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.

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.

[SOLVED] an idea to make ICS work with original thrill bands (at&t)

found a way to extract with this tool.
attached the baseband for whoever wants it.
final result = endless boot loop.
ORIGINAL POST:
Hello,
I tried to flash the new ics port, with different basebands but the reception wasn't good.
my carrier works on 3G 2100/850mhz bands, and no 2G support.
did a little research and found:
p920 supports 2100 mhz (and others but not 850 mhz) 3g band
p920h supports 850 mhz (and others but not 2100 mhz) 3g band
any of those bands alone gives me half of the reception coverage.
however p925 basebands support both 850 and 2100 mhz.
when i flashed at&t official GB rom from here, i've got full support of my network, wich is by the way not at&t, but Pelephone, Israel.
my idea is to dump the GB baseband from original at&t's rom
and flash it after flashing the new ICS port (instead of the given XBSA404_CP.fls), which i think should work with the GB baseband.
my question to you guys is how can we dump only the baseband from at&t official rom
and flash it on an ICS thrill ?
and do you think this should work ?
Thanks in advance, ValkA.

Original GB 1.8a baseband, in .fls format. I dont know why you need to go through all of this, you can flash this AT&T Baseband ontop of a Thrill (P925) WITH the ICS port to have 3G. Shoot, I have HSPA on mine.
the 1.8 baseband is made for p920, which doesn't support both 3G 2100 and 850 mhz, it supports only 2100.
i will have HSPA with this baseband, but with a little network coverage.
with the p925 baseband i have full network coverage, thats why all the effort.
you were right, i tried to flash it one more time and it works now!

US Cellular V405UA bands

Hi,
Does anyone know which bands are enabled on the US Cellular v405ua firmware? I currently have the 20a QA firmware flashed which has pretty much all bands enabled, but there haven't been any updates to it. I was thinking about flashing the US Cellular 20e version, but am not willing to lose any bands.
