Nobody seem to have noticed that EPE54B is signed with test-keys and ERE36B with release keys...
Are the apk's also not throwing a lot of useless debug output ?
Not running it!
In my experience most of android throws out useless debug crap.

Won't happen on the devices released to the public because our radio isn't capable of using the ATT3G bands, but they may be releasing a flavor that's compatible with ATT.
Just a guess.

Couldn't this just be resolved with a radio update from Google. I mean GSM is GSM, it's about receiving the right bandwidth which is controlled by the radio. Unless I am missing something, I believe google could push out an update for the radio that supported both TMO and ATT's 3G bandwidth.
You need the right antennas. Hardware.

No, ATT and t-mobile run their 3G on complete different bands, so there's no compatibility between the two with existing hardware(that I know of).
Of course voice and EDGE will still function fine on the same phone between both carriers, but you'll need a phone that supports the specific bands for the carrier you're intending to use 3G on if you want it to work.

Would it be possible to activate the GSM/WCDMA radios of this phone?
Eh?
2 versions of this phone.
1. VZW version aka the DROID RAZR/XT912 --> CDMA/LTE radio
2. Global version aka MOTO RAZR/XT910 --> GSM/WCDMA/HSPA

Both versions have a GSM/WCDMA/HSPA chipset, but GSM capability has been disabled in the Verizon phone. Interestingly, the RAZR uses the Qualcomm MDM6600...which is capable of all the aforementioned networks.
As for activating the GSM radio in the Verizon version... my guess is that it will require a custom kernel of some sort...

The RAZR uses the TI OMAP4430, which doesn't have any built-in radios. There's no reason why the Verizon version should have GSM/WCDMA radios.

The MDM6600 is actually a modem, and not a SoC if that's what you were thinking. It's used on all of Verizon's current global phones, including the iPhone.
From the FCC on the Bionic:
The WCDMA/GSM network functions have been disabled by the firmware and are SIM locked by all US operators on this product.
Click to expand...

And Anandtech:
...This power amp is actually quad band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. In its shipping form, the Bionic is limited to just 850/1900 for CDMA2000 in the USA, however, I have very little doubt this device could also be used with WCDMA on all four bands with some tweaking. FCC documents also talk about WCDMA functionality being disabled...

I was thinking along the same lines.
I have a Photon and the GSM bands are locked from being used on other US carriers. There have beem discussions that the radio files are what need to be changed/hacked. I wonder if the premise would be the same as I'd love to make this a global phone...

Hmmm... there doesn't seem to be much interest in this.
Modifying AMSS is really dangerous and I don't think it will be possible even after a bootloader unlock as radio is protected with another "lock code". It should be unlocked only on Engineering devices.
Would it be possible to load the radios of the GSM version onto it?

If there is one thing that Moto locks its boot loader, it's specifically for that.
From what I remember, Moto has some proprietary stuff there, so cracking that will get you into a lot of legal trouble...

Wait... What? Why would someone disable such a huge feature? Also, if motorola says a phone has GSM radio and it doesn't can't you complain?
Loading GSM radio on it won't brick it as the chip is the same, MDM6600.
The problem is loading it: the different radio bootloader (that isn't the AP bootloader that is being unlocked with ICS update) signature won't allow you to.
So this is a dead end?

I am very interested in this!
I travel a lot and need gsm access in Europe and Asia.
I am tired of carrying two phones and trying to keep them synced.
With all of the smart people here we can't figure this out?
I remember enabling the fourth band on my Moto GSM E6 rokr, which was also turned off by the carrier.
feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
But from what I understand, the phone is capable of utilizing gsm as well as cdma out of the box. Otherwise when you went to other countries you would not be able to use the phone. But verizon has agreements with various providers around the world to provide gsm service. And I seem to recall seeing on my device info page, while on my my verizon online access for my bionic, a number listed as the sim puk unlock code. Which may or may not unlock the phone for other sim cards, but I distinctly recall seeing it there. So check your device info page on my verizon. I just thought I'd share because some of the answers get overlooked because people simply don't try the proper channels. Myself included. For instance, who knew that the reset procedure for the razr is explained on the 2nd page of the user manual? I had already google'd it before reading it in both the printed manual and the built in help file.

This is definitely the right forum. The phones are nearly identical except for a few little things. All the Roms and mods should work the same on our phones other than we might have to change to modem to work with our carriers.

The Forum name is confusing though...nothing against AT&T and its users but its really confusing and I was unsure if the roms, mods, etc would work on my device. But I was pretty sure there were only 2 versions basically so thats why I stuck around.
On a side note, I had owned the Galaxy Nexus and picked up the Note to compare the two to see what one I'd keep and what one I'd sell. Well the Note stuck around so you can see what I chose! Amazing device, can't wait for development to really pick up...if you are into digital art, games and media this thing is a dream!
re cdn vs us note
Yeah I was thinking that I'm kinda scared to use any roms made from the AT&T version on my canadian note, for fear of loosing functionality that I already have.
I hope the great developers here take that into account and offer Canadian ROMs

1700 MHZ LTE disabled on ATT
I have noticed that the ATT Note does not work on Rogers LTE network. I think its because it does not have 1700 MHZ enabled for LTE . Perhaps ATT version only has 700 enabled for LTE.

Nope, the AT&T version uses both 700 class 17 and the AWS (1700/2100) bands for LTE. I don't know what band the Roger's LTE network uses, but if it is AWS (1700/2100) and the AT&T Note you are using is unlocked, then it will pick it up.

I'm pretty certain the main differences is firmare and not hardware. I'll have to check those links Kenny..
I know of people running t mobile on a Verizon note 2 that have everything working perfectly fine and t mobile is GSM. Pop the Sim in, switch mobile networks to GSM, maybe edit apns for lte..but I don't even thunk that is needed once the GSM Sim is in place. This unlocks the add apn feature under access points

Thank you for this tidbit of info. I'm currently trying to figure a way to get my old VZW Note 2 working on Straight Talk for my Dad, who's currently using a 3" Samsung something-or-other P.O.S. I'm going to get the AT&T version of the Straight Talk SIM and try it out since some have reported success with it. If not that one, then maybe the T-Mobile one.
I'll post back with my results (5-10 business days for delivery--yikes!)
P.S. Anyone else out there have a recommendation for a ROM to use for this? I'm going to go with something 4.1.x because I've read that later versions won't work. Jedi X maybe?
1. Does Black Shark 3 Pro support HDMI out via usb-c?
2. Does it support volte in the USA at all?
Would appreciate answers as I'm considering this device but can't find answers to these two questions anywhere.
It supports HDMI to type C and they have an official cable for that..
Check the frequencies supported by the unit you will be buying.. For reference, check GSM arena for that

I know it supports the correct LTE frequencies, but I've had Chinese phones before that didn't get volte.
To be fair, I use cricket because I don't care much about data speeds, and maybe they only allow specific phones to get volte. I just want to make sure I don't buy and then have a useless phone by next year.

This should enable you to activate it on T-mobile after they stated that a phone needs to be compatible with voLTE in order to activate and use it on T-mobile that started on August 27th. I don't have the phone to test so if it worked for you, please mention what version of the phone you have here for potential buyers. Thanks.

Thats interesting. The guide mentions that you need root. Also, how compatible is model b tencent version with T-Mobile? They're missing a lot of bands. For 5g, it only has band 41 2.5GHz which hasn't even been fully released yet. It's missing band 71 600 MHz and the other 260 and 261 bands for 5G high speed mmwave.
For 4G LTE, it's missing bands 66, 12, and 71.

So if one were to pick up an A version and use this method and then down the line there is an OTA update for volte in the US would there be a conflict?

If i had to take an educated guess, the update would overwrite the previous settings. However, if it messes it up, we could probably reflash the stock rom and update it normally or flash an updated stock rom.

Ota won't cause a conflict. I'm using version a on TMO, and it works better than my s20ultra.

Where did you get model a? Hopefully somewhere where it's not too expensive. I'm looking for 12gb ram 256gb. At the same time, I want to wait for u.s version release that should come out at the end of this month, maybe they might include mmwave bands for 5g and more compatible 4g lte bands at a good price.

No mw bands on rog3, even "us" version. You will have to buy the 12gb 512 for version a. Big bucks, $1k. Waiting for us version is a waste of time. I got my a version a month ago on ebay.

Ebay is full of the Chinese ones now with the rom. I've seen the model a on aliexpress and i don't have to pay tax but the wait time is going to be crap for it.
The only sure way to know its the a version is the prism box and free cooler inside right? Also do you have a link to check the 5g and 4g lte bands on the model a or is it the same as the u.s version model a? I can't find accurate bands anywhere for the international.
The only thing that worries me with getting the international a version is t-mobile coming out with a whitelist like at&t and not officially supporting the rog 3 which would make it useless on their network.

TMO has no white list for volte/wifi like att, and never will. Gotta buy the prism box, yes. And all version A's have same exact bands. I get great service on my rog3, even sa5g now that TMO enabled it. Btw, vowifi works too.

Root is not needed, just the build.prop edits. I made a how to, but got spammed and flamed, so deleted it. It will work on both versions with ww sw.

Did you get both voLTE and voWiFi working? and is receiving/ making calls stable? Or bad reception in some areas?

Yeah, it sometimes shows VoLTE, and sometimes shows Vowifi , I am pretty sure it's working because I noticed the call quality is much better and it does show in phone info as well. I never experience any signal issues, well yet

What exactly are the build.prop edits? I failed to enter diagnostic mode by both usb and remote methods. I have dowloaded the QPST config, drivers, and the asus volte app as suggested.

None of that is needed. Just build.prop edits in adb.

Have you been able to use WiFi calling on T-Mobile? If so, did it come with the update that included VoLTE or did you achieve that another way?

It worked with the build.prop edits, but the newest update has enabled volte and wifi calling. No edits needed.

Hi,
Any idea where I can find the details about this build.prop edits. I am on Telstra Australia. I tried the efstools method and it only shows critical error bad command. Both on cable and on remote.
Thank You
