How to make SX56 work in India? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi All,
I have an unlocked SX56 device on which I have installed xda-dev ROM w/ WM2003SE (version 4.20.0) and is working properly here in USA on Cingular.
I recently went to India and hoped that it would automatically work there on band 900 but to my surprise it didn't. I tried a local simcard there but it always said no service.
I did some research and found out about bandswitch tool.
I copied it on to the device but when I click it shows ERROR for the current band and nothing happens when I click on either 900 or 900/1800 or 1900.
I am going to India again in few weeks and am wondering if there's something else I can do to make it work?
Thanks in advance.
-D
here is some more info about the device.
code on the back: PW10B1
ROM version: A.30.09 ENG
Radio version: M.E1.19
Protocol version: 324e4

Hey bud!
Unfortunately... you will have to get into the bootloader and manually switch bands.
It will work.
Also which service provider did you use when you were in India? and in what location?
Lemme know if you face any issues.
cheers!

sx56_siemens upgrade ROM version 3.17.03 ENG Radio V. 612

I´ve a pocket pc SX_56 bought in USA, e-bay.
This is one PW10B1 (serieal number in the back of device)
But the ROM says PW10A1.
I try use it in Brazil, but i can´t, it´s lock.
The system don´t cach the signal.
Then i try upgrade the ROM (xda-developers.com) and now the device is unlock,
but don´t recognize the signal.
What´s the best solucion? If i upgrade the sistem will it work?
Thank´s.
Best regards
ps. Will it force-upgrade my radio stack?
I presume this is for US market. So it will be on 1900.
Its shown on the website that it can be "Auto band selection when traveling overseas", so does I can use the 900/1800 band when in Brazil(my country)?
You can enter bootloader and choose 900/1800 but you might have little success, the xda is a dual band phone 900/1900 or 900/1800 not triband.

Then it's a PW10B device (900/1900 MHz) .. forget what's written in device info.
Check with your operator which band width to use and use the GSM menu in the bootloader accordingly.
How do you get to the bootloader?
I know, it's a silly question, but I'd like to see what band width I am on.
Thanks

unfortunately, I 'm not aware of an accurate way to 100% positively determin this. Only in TMO 4.01.00 ROM there is a band selector in the phone settings but I can't trust it that much.
Usually people get the right band from the operator and select it from the GSM menu which has no indicator for what is the current band.
Maybe it's something to be added to the wishlist of WM2004 :wink:

Looks new according to the Wiki page. Can you dump the ROM? There is a thread in this forum that shows you how to dump it.
Thanks.

Hope fully this should be the new ROM when i took my TP this was the information available & Model it T 7276 if i am not wrong.......
After few days i brought TP i did Hardspl & used so many ROM's & now i have stick to Latinos & using .20M1 as i found .28 is poor in every aspect.
Now my device information is:-
----------------------------
ROM version: 1.95.502.5.WWE
ROM date: 10/20/08
Radio version: 1.08.25.20
------------------------
Model No: HTC Touch Pro T7272
T7272 in India...
...are you sure it's a T7272? Is it one of the Idea Cellular branded models?
I recently got one, I believe it's a T7276, and have yet to find any information on it:
...does it actually support 3G for when I'm in a country with 3G?
...does GPS work (so far I have been unable to get it to)?
Things I've noticed:
...battery life is awful - dropped 1 bar while I was sleeping with no calls and no sms (bluetooth & wifi off).
...wifi reception is awful (sitting right next to my router I still only get 1mbps and it drops regularly).
I've recently flashed the new HTC WWW ROM and battery is better - though still poor. I'm tempted to try the newest radio and dll combo just to see if that helps any.

[Q] T-01C Radio Band help !

Sorry to post T-01C question in TG01 forum. This Android phone is from NTT Docomo , and in China we use a cracked SIM sticker ( Mr SIM ) to cheat the network so as to make phone calls. But today I accidently chose the Radio Band GSM/UMTS as USA band, now I cannot switch it back and lost and network connection. I know you guys have been using T-01C’s Android Kernel to develop TG01’s Android Rom, could anyone give me some suggestion how to get the right Radio back? When the radio is on there is only one option US band to select; if radio is off, there are more options like AU , JAPAN band etc., but no matter which one I choose, just cannot set it successfully even the system is rooted.
T-01C have been updated in May from OS 2.1 to 2.2 while Radio from 5011.1906.50 to 5014.1906.11. Now I download the 2.2 ROM from official website and try to use T01C_SWUpdater01.apk to flash, it fails because I already use the latest OS.
Could anyone help me on this? Thanks for reading!

[Q] How can I get AWS bands back on a bricked Rogers Lumia 920?

Hello everybody,
My Rogers Lumia 920 (unlocked and pentaband beforehand) was bricked mysteriously overnight and I came across the instructions to unbrick the phone. In my NaviFirm search, I noticed that the Rogers ROMs (releases 1232.2109.1242.1002 i believe) for the RM-820 have disappeared as there are many screenshots of them which were posted a few weeks ago. As a last resort, I flashed the AT&T ROM onto my 920 and I have lost the ability to use my phone on Wind mobile and all other AWS networks. Does anybody by chance have an already downloaded Rogers ROM they could share with me? Are there any other roms for the 920 that don't have the AWS bands disabled?
Thanks in advanced!

I just posted links to the Rogers firmware at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36686433&postcount=8 .
However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are reports of the AT&T firmware fully disabling the AWS bands, even if you re-flash the Rogers ROM afterwards. Maybe the posts I've seen are wrong, so by all means give it a try and please let us know the result. :fingers-crossed:
Good Luck!
Wow, thank you so much!!! I'll try it and let you know how it goes.
You have just made my week
Edit: Yeah, the band is still disabled on the Rogers ROM. CURSE YOU AT&T!
Does anybody know how to do a total clearing and re installation of the Rogers ROM then? A bit of a stretch, but hoping this phone won't have to meet Craigslist or something, I love everything about it minus the fact it doesn't work on my network.
Thanks again!

After reflashing the rogers rom did you do a factory reset? I really doubt that flashing an at&t rom permanently disables the aws band even after the original rogers rom has been flashed again. That would mean the at&t rom changes a very secure low level area of the phone and it just doesn't seem that likely or anything I've heard of happening before...

By factory reset, do you mean going into about and reset my phone? If so, yep, I tried it and it didn't help recover the aws band. Is there any way to access the system root of the phone, or am I dreaming at this point? Thanks!

Yeah that's what I meant for a reset. The only other way I can even think of getting the AWS back is possibly finding a dialer code that would let you select radio bands. I want to figure this out too b/c I have a sim unlocked at&t lumia that I want to flash the rogers rom to so I can get the AWS band.

##3282# (Or ##3282 call) will present you with a thing that lets you change the bands used for 3g and lte, but it doesn't have the aws band (band IV) for selection under 3g D:

I really have no idea then... But I'm 99% sure after flashing dozens of phones from different companies that the AWS band is not permanently disabled. We just need to find a way to get it back on. Problem is it's probably going to take someone with more technical skills about windows phone 8 (probably searching thru the root directory) to re-enable it.
someone would need to post the baseband of the rogers model and then you can flash the baseband and get your aws band back.
I read somewhere that all the lumias 920 are the same on hardware side, that they only have different softwares and firmware on the inside; rumor has it that if you could get the firmware and baseband that nokia flashes into the dev phones, you could convert any lumia 920 into a dev phone with anything unlocked.

If flashing the att rom to a rogers phone installs the att baseband (which disables AWS) then reflashing the original rogers rom would overwrite the att baseband with the original rogers baseband (should re-enable AWS) so I don't think that is the issue.

The AT&T baseband seems to stick though, maybe the AT&T rom has another file that has no equivalent in the rogers ROM that's sole purpose it to lock out the AWS band. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon, I'd love to love the Lumia 920, but at this rate, my eyes are starting to turn to the 8x.

I don't think the rogers firmware includes the rogers baseband, as the baseband is the one that controls the radios and frequencies of the handset.
One can install a firmware without a baseband and viceversa

Hmm, I guess we're basically just hunting for the Rogers baseband then. If only there was a way to browse the system root of a windows phone device D:

The baseband for my stock at&t 920 with the portico ota is 1.0.202075.3. Someone who has a stock rogers 920 that didn't flash the att rom what is your baseband version? (about - more info) Then we need to compare and see what the baseband is on a rogers phone that has lost the AWS band.

I just updated my phone to portico and it seems that I've got the same baseband as you. Can anybody with a stock Rogers ROM post their baseband? After updating, my phone popped up with a new message when I put in my wind sim. It said "Phone mode changes. Your phone is now in GSM mode." I have no idea if you can change modes or anything like that.
Hey guys, I just wanted to jump in here and say that I'm having the same issues. I have a BUILD Dev phone that was bricked -> flashed AT&T -> flashed Rogers and the AWS band is disabled / vanished.
I've contacted Nokia Experts and was told the only option at the moment was to get me a new phone... and I've been waiting for months, lol. I'm thinking that they're going to send me a standard unlocked L920 without AWS bands but that's a bridge I'll cross when or if I get there... I was also told that the repair center did not have the ability to fix this problem and when I asked for the original firmware I was told they (Nokia Experts) did not have it.
Someone HAS to know what's going on here and how to fix it!
If anyone finds a way to get the AWS band back I'm willing to PayPal them $100. Maybe those with more skill will help if we offer financial incentive?
I'm in the US on T-Mobile for reference.
What we need to figure out first is what the baseband is on a stock rogers 920 that has never had the att firmware flashed on it. If it is different then it looks like you'll have to wait this out until nokia comes out with new firmware that has an upgraded baseband and hopefully that brings back the AWS
What about the base band from a Dev device like mine? If the Rogers would work as a reference point then I'd imagine the Dev base band would work too.
There are several users here with them. I can't provide mine because It's been flashed as I mentioned, but I'm currently running 1.0.202075.3 as well as others in this thread.

Is there a way to port TouchXPlorer to WP8? I think it has access to the system directory on WP7 but I've never actually used it before. That might help us extract the correct baseband.

3G/4G won't work on my new (Chinese) HTC One M7 in the UK.

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this!
I've bought this 'new' phone, I've flashed it with a new RUU because it wouldn't update on it's own. It's CID is 11111111 and I flashed an American ROM. I just can't get 3G to work. I've called my new carrier who say their side is working fine. I've checked the APN details and they seem fine too.
The seller said that the phone should work fine in the UK with 3G and 4G.
Is it possible that The US ROM somehow blocks the UK frequencies or something?
Thanks, Antony...

Its an M7_UL.
