If I'm not concerned about LTE.... - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the T 817 T (which is the T-Mobile LTE version of the tablet) but there's nothing available in the way of custom roms or anything... I was wondering if I could flash a ROM meant for the Wi-Fi only Version of this tablet...i know I obviously wouldn't have LTE access but would it boot and run otherwise?
I remember back in the days of the original Nexus 7 I could Flash Roms meant for the Wi-Fi only version on my LTE without issue.... Thanks for any input guys.

[Q] 4g no more working but H+ and E is working

Hi xda-community maybe you guys can help me with my S3 LTE. Its the german one so the gt-9105 and I'm using T-Mobile.
Everything worked great all the time with your roms here but since 3 days after updating to the newer 4.1.2 roms my LTE Internet is no more working. H+ and E works fine and it also Shows the lte Signal straight when its available but it Shows no more 4g Icon and its also not connecting to the Internet. so i have to force wcdma all the time and that sucks on an lte phone.
What is the Problem or did I something wrong? Allready tried different 4.1.2 roms and different flashable basebands but didnt work.
What can i do to get it working on that roms.
Use the correct rom then.
Every Rom in the Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Development section is correct isnt it? Until now every one worked expect the 4.1.2 roms -.-
Since Samsung have yet to release a firmware with 4.1.2 I would say you are using an incorrect one. Otherwise complain to the firmware maker.

no LTE on P3720T with P3720 ICS roms (i.e Arlics)

Hi there,
We tried to update a telstra branded P7320T Gtab (Honeycomb 3.2) to the ICS releases based off the 4.0.4 drops from Scandanavian providers for the P7320 i.e Arlics Rom (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923371 ).
Everything works fine; however 4G APN's do no register, this is most likely a Kernel/Qualcom band mismatch with the Telstra baseband and the updated kernel version in the ICS builds.
Arlics rom does not contain modem/basebands so it is most likely the updated kernel drivers in the 4.0.4 drops misbehaving with the P7320T baseband used by Telstra and Telecom NZ's trail.
Reverting to the Telstra stock solves the problem.
This was tried off a Test Telecom NZ LTE APN (no UMTS functionality - UTMS works ok however).
I would like to hear from any Telstra Australia users who know they are in LTE areas whether or not they get LTE on Gtabs running this rom.
- Apologies for posting here; and not in the thread, the forum policy prevents me from posting their.

Similar experience
I had a similar problem. When I flashed the leaked rom (which wasn't from a Scandinavian provider, by the way, but from a Polish one - forums got it wrong), LTE stopped working. Haven't tried Arlicc's, reluctant to especially now that it seems abandoned.
Sad that the 7320 gets so little love Official ICS release here in Norway has been delayed yet again for the umpteenth time.
You should try the latest version available (XXLPI - to be installed by Odin, no wipe necessary). It seems much better at switching between 4G and GSM/CDMA than the early ICS OTA version I used to have (the one the Arlicc's ROM is based on).

Are you using that on Telstra's network ? Can you post the baseband version?
Sorry, I'm using it in Poland however it's dedicated for other parts of Europe. It contains an upgrade to baseband version P7320XXLP7.
Did not succeed
Until I downgraded this to the last NCM version (a Honeycomb version) again, I couldn't get LTE to work. The TEN Ice Cream Sandwich version from 5.12 did not permit LTE, despite being a Norwegian carrier and me being in Norway.

Random Reboots for GSM Users on AOSP Solved - VS980 26A 11A Hybrid Modem

GSM users on AOSP ROMs may experience random reboots. The problem only seems to occur when connected to LTE and switching cell towers, like when driving. I believe that many users have mistaken this for GPS problems, when in fact the reboot is triggered by the baseband. I've been using the VS980 with T-Mobile. The problem occurs on all Kitkat and Lollipop AOSP roms, but not on stock. I seem to have found a solid solution. This is a flashable 26A modem with the 11A baseband firmware:
Download 26A+11A Hybrid Modem
The 26A hybrid works with all roms that work with the 26A modem, both AOSP and stock. I have tested this one extensively with several roms and it works great. I used it for a week with zero reboots. For users with reboot issues, I recommend using a 26A based rom and this modem.
What about 39A?
I had previously posted a 39A/11A hybrid. It doesn't work--the phone reboots on incoming calls. Soon I will try a 39A/12B hybrid.
Details
The modem partition that we've been flashing is actually a FAT partition that contains many binaries. These binaries run in various parts of the SOC controlling audio DSP, DRM, WLAN, the baseband, and more. I don't know what all the parts do, but the baseband firmware is just one of these parts. The baseband firmware is a self contained proprietary RTOS that runs in a dedicated processing core in the SOC. Apparently the differences between modem partitions that make older ones incompatible with newer roms is not due to the baseband itself. The old 11A baseband firmware still works great and does not cause reboots when used with AOSP roms.
Why 11A
I was experimenting with NVRAM edits to unlock support of additional bands. I found that 11A is the last firmware that pays attention to the relevant values. All later basebands have hardcoded values that will revert the edits. It follows that the later basebands have been more deeply modified for Verizon and that 11A is a more generic G2 baseband. Other basebands may work well too, but I haven't tried it. This was the first one that I tried and it works great. I seem to be getting a stronger signal and better data speed, but it could be placebo. As an added bonus it is possible to experiment further with band unlocking.
Will this work on vs98039a stock on micromods xtream 1.1 rom?

No. That is a modified stock 39A rom. The 39A hybrid modem only works with AOSP based roms.
So is this just for GSM users? I have a VS980 on Verizon running AOD rom.. I have random reboots lol

Give it a shot, it might help. You can always flash back to your current modem. Let us know how it works out.
Flashed this on unofficial cm 12. We'll see how it goes.
Will this baseband allow me to enable LTE bands 2, 5, and 17 for usage on AT&T? @jacob019, I saw your post in the in the LTE unlock thread. Were you ever able to get LTE band 17 working on T-Mobile?

Yes and no. Yes, it will allow you to modify the NV values needed to unlock bands. I tried unlocking band 17, but my phone never connected to it. I think the hardware doesn't contain the necessary filters to support the band. Unlocking other bands may work, but I didn't have any to test.
Is it possible that T-mobile doesn't use band 17 in your area? According to this link, they only use LTE bands 2, 4, and 12 currently.
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/02/0...sm-cdma-wcdma-lte-verizon-att-sprint-tmobile/
@jacob019, have you tried bands 2 and 12? As far as I can tell, T-mobile doesn't use band 17
I tried band 17 with an ATT sim. I only get T-Mobile LTE on band 4 here in Indianapolis, even with a phone that supports the other bands. Therefore I have been unable to test any other bands.
can you talk and surf at the same time coming off of LTE (without wifi of course). On a normal Tmobile headset, when you are on LTE, it'll drop down to hspa to connect to the call still allowing you to surf. Verizon model seems to drop all the way down to GPRS when a call is made if you are on LTE at the time the call is made. When in GPRS mode, data is disabled.
will this work on d802?

Correct ROM for MetroPCS?

What's the correct stock Google ROM for MetroPCS? I don't use or care about WiFi calling.
TIA

MetroPCS uses T-Mobile's network and is owned by them. The latest build for T-Mobile I believe is LYZ28E. Although I thought I read somewhere that there is a T-Mobile only image coming that has the newest security updates that is LYZ28J or something. But in all honesty, if you aren't worried about WiFi calling, I am fairly certain you could just flash any 5.1.1 image and it will work fine.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I would use the E version. Although it is specified for wifi calling may need it for TMobile as it is optimized for their network. Not sure if only wifi optimized as the article I read only said it was optimized for their network.
If you are on LYZ28E wait for LYZ28J. Flashing LMY48I will cause problems.
You can use any of them.

No Nougat Update for SM-G610Y

Can anyone help me with this.
All the other versions of the J7 Prime (G610F & G610M) have recieved 7.0 Nougart update 6 months ago.
My phone is pretty much the same underneath as the rest of these, No my phone is not carrier locked.
I'm not the only one having this issue, there are a lot of people in the Philippines, Pakistan and here in New Zealand who are wanting this update and cant get it.
Samsung wont tell me anything no matter how much I ask their help desk and support team
I feel like as a customer I deserve to at least know why I haven't got this update but the rest of the world has, and not get continuously told to turn auto updates on when its already on.
Same device bro
Bro, i am a Y variant and i'm on PH. We don't have a choice but to install custom rom to taste the nougat android. Just root your phone, install TWRP then install custom rom like NovaOS or Lineage OS 15.1 for J7 Prime. Just search it and you can find it.
Same issue here...just installed Xenos Rom and its more than enough for me with the features....there are other roms as well
same ;(
Ah, those lazy Samsung coding teams...
My condolences, but you can always install the ROM closest to stock.

I actually downloaded their Nougat based stock rom and flashed it using ODIN. No problems so far... it's just that you won't be able to use their country specific apps which I think is not a big deal.

There are no specific apps for Philippines G610Y except when you purchase through a Telco where settings like boot screen / default web pages all point to the Telco. Flashing Aussie Official G610Y ROM should be fine. In fact this should be a good base to create a custom ROM as it may contain updated drivers and the like.
I been running the Nougat Note FE XenOS v.1.1 without any problem so i dont need to worry bout waiting for an update from OTA

One minor problem I have encountered so far now is whenever I switch to 3G/2G on network mode, it doesn't survive the reboot. It reverts nback to 2G/3G/LTE mode. Other than that the Stock ROm is stable so far. Battery life is incredible.

Need to troubleshoot 1x1. First, I noticed you are using Oxygen kernel. It could probably be an incompatibility with this one.
Another, which I can think of is incompatibility of CSC part if you didnt change your original.

It was still present when I was still using the stock kernel. About the CSC though I have no idea. But maybe you're right because I flashed the original CSC tar.md5 file that came straight from the stock Aussie Nougat ROM. I don't know how I can change it. (Perhaps flash the stock CSC from MM?)

I checked my csc if it changed , and yes it was changed together with xenos. So it might be something else. But then there are CSCs which are not multi CSCs. So i could be wrong.
Edit: ok i did some googling. CSC doesnt affect network selection its the baseband part. You can install phone info samsung to check what versions you are in.

Just tried flashing the old MM modem.bin Seems to work like a charm. Although the network mode still reverts the 2G/3G/4G mode, I'm getting consistent 2G signals now and no more signal drops. I just use 4G whenever I use the phone outside where there is no wifi or when I use Navigation apps like Waze. I assume it'll get the 4G/LTE signal when the signal is strong enough.

Can you kindly guide me on how to flash modem.bin? I flashed NZ Nougat stock ROM on PH-bought G610Y and I'm having problem switching network mode when using dual sim. If I disable sim 2 I have no problem. But when both sims are enabled I can't swith sim 1 from 2G only to 4G/3G/2G. Switching doesn't do anything. It's stuck in 2G only.
Do I simply flash the file that starts with "CP"?
Update: I went ahead and flashed the CP file from Marshmallow and problem is fixed. Thanks for the tip!

I am experiencing problems with the new facebook app on XenOS v.1.1 FB is important for me because I need it for work. So, I decided to flash the New Zealand Nougat G610Y. Here are the steps I took for successful installation official nougat on Philippine based phone:
1. I flashed latest XTC G610Y MM so all partitions contain XTC (Philippines) based settings/customizations (BL / AP / CP / CSC)
2. I flashed G610YZTU1BRC3 Nougat (BL / AP) only which means CP/CSC remains XTC (xtc is multi CSC)
3. after step 2 finishes flashing from ODIN, it will encounter an error, but it will go to recovery mode
4. at recovery mode, I simply reboot the system and enjoyed a fresh copy of Nougat
I did not encounter any problem with network selection and tested rebooting it as well. Hope that helps your problem.
Please Assist me on this (i mean step by step instructions..)
