Greetings,
I recently purchased a S3 mini in Bolivia. I can use it in the GSM mode to make calls and data at EDGE speeds.
However, when I switch it to WCDMA mode, I can't use the phone to make calls or for data.
Is there a way I can make my phone work here with 3G.
I know we have HSDPA+ here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hola amigo!
Is your phone an I8190L model? That one is the variant for south America. Maybe another version will not work on our networks.

Thanks for your reply. I have the I8190. Do you think there is a way of modifying the software on the phone so that it emulates the L version?
Thanks.

I think there's no way, as is hardware related.

I8190 model has problems with South American bands, happens the same with a friends device, but as soon as he goes to Brasil or Europe, 3G appears, but locally (Ecuador) only EDGE.
same problem

download link is http://www.multiupload.com/X558NDM1WO
Tested on my bell atrix
If no signal or unknown baseband is found, just flash to other radio
it wont break the phone unless you have done sth awesome
UPDATE: I am upgrading this radio on top of France Orange 2.1.1
I don't own a ATT Atrix so I am not sure whether it works on ATT Atrix or not

I believe other radios have been used on the AT&T atrix before, you should be good to use this. If you end up w/o signal just flash SBF and you'll be back to normal.

I just flashed yesterday, gonna see how it works (Bell Canada)
The point is to share...
however in China only 2100 band works, so I assuming it works better for Europeans instead of Americans
Let's see...
For a second there I had hope that it would be the same version as the stock Bell radio. (1.77, I had to look it up)
I am guessing that since China has some differences in their mobile networks compared to NA, it might be interesting to see if it improves things over here.
Cheers!
Currently, I am using 4.1.83 ATT version. I failed to upgrade this radio from basebans version N01.77.15P via RSD 5.0

That's because of the ram downloaders this sbf uses. It will not work on an AT&T Atrix.
I can make a compatible sbf if some people want to test it.

i made it a few days back, and it failed on my at&t sku.
to be specific, it flashes, but the phone boots up without signal and "unknown" baseband.

from what i can see,
your definition of "benefits" must be very limited. not everyone needs hsupa, i'd live without it if it improves stability.
you have no idea about what ymmv means. with the vast possibilities/combinations of different carriers/terrains/vendors/gen of devices, why would you even ask about the "benefits"? chances are someone would benefit from it but just not you.

The default att baseband doesn't work so well in my area, loss signal and too much heat

what exactly do you think this baseband is gonna do to an at&t sku?
you'd most likely go from "loss signal and too much heat" to no signal at all.
i suppose you can just turn on flight mode if you want it so bad.

Hey guys i am getting a new galaxy note n7000 and just wanted to know can this model be unlocked to run on AWS frequency?
Thanks in advance.
I can unlock your sim, but first check if N7000 works with the frequency of your carrier.

It does not support AWS, so you will not get 3G.

Hello, i have a galaxy tab 8.9 SGH I957(LTE AT&T version) with 16gb of memory, so all was working good with the stock firmware (3.2 honeycomb), but i bricked my device. So, i bought on ebay a jtag service, and when i received my tablet back, it was in download mode, and as you know guys, it says the model in the same screen, and say P7320, so, i flashed the tablet with the stock rom ICS for the SGH-I957 that i got from a page,
i did the flash by odin, and then, after finish the process, the tablet was alive, all was working fine, except that the intern memory was just of 127mb, now i dont know what can i do, i read something about the partition table, but i hope that you can help me guys, thanks a lot!!
Flash a 7320 rom and keep it as that. The partition tables got changed when you jtag'd it.

Now i have another problem, my 3g is not working, the stock rom that i use is from Norway (telenor), and the bands that they use for the 3g are 900/2100MHz, but i need the 850 / 1900 bands to make it work in at&t, how can i solve this?, can i flash another modem to back to the 850 / 1900, or make it quad band?

That's the same problem the other guy had. You might try to send him a pm and see if he solved it. I'm not aware of any radios that you can flash.

Hi,
I bought my SGA from India. I will be in US for 2 months. When I inserted a US SIM in my phone, no network was shown.
Is it because of the difference in frequency bands of GSM in India and USA? But isn't SGA quad-band? (850/900/1800/1900)?
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance..
Indian Ace should work in USA too..
Actually, I traveled to USA with my Indian Galaxy Ace and it worked for me. I tried international roaming with my AirTel number and also tried AT&T network at USA.
have you unlocked your phone already?
if you're rooted you can use galaxy ace unlock. it's free and easily gets you the code needed for unlocking.
just search for it on the play store

Flashing US version of android firmware may solve the issue.

Yes u r correct. Indian fones are not locked. Try a US based firmware or try Network Settings- Auto detect Carrier and choose mode to Auto.

Doesn't matter on which plan you are, for rooting just search "root galaxy s3 mini value edition". Unfortunately for you, there still aren't any custom ROMs available for your device.
DO NOT TRY ROMS FOR THE GT-I8190. THEY WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!
