Is it possible to use this phone on 3g networks? I want to buy it, but in my country there is not 4g network, only 3g...
dependent on the type of 3g network, yes
That' s great news , but what dependencies are relevant for it to work on 3g? Frequency of the network, or something else?
It has to be CDMA.
But could it also work on GSM? I have done a search on this, and found this pictures where you can select GSM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512138 .
Then I found this article:http://www.htcthunderbolt4g.com/htc-thunderbolt-general-discussion/htc-thunderbolt-unlock-to-work-with-gsm/ .
So, can I insert some radio, or change rom, or software, to make it somehow work on GSM network?
For the USA..... Since its a Verizon phone you would have to call Verizon and have them unlock it.... It cost money..... I would call Ur provider in the country u r in and ask them if it will work..... Just a fyi....... The thunderbolt is already out classed(IMO).... Get a newer phone like the razr or nexus.........
Hope it helps

Stupid question I'm sure but I switched my PRL to us cellular and use there nid/sid for home tower what's the difference between doing that and unlocking a phone. Could I do the same on my hero and give it to my brother who goes through them and let him use it??

Unlocking is a GSM term. With GSM phones, there is no PRL; the list is built into the SIM card. You just switch SIM cards and that switches service/numbers. To unlock a phone is to remove the restriction it has to one carrier; if you put a T-Mobile SIM into a locked AT&T phone, it will ask you for the unlock/subsidy code to be able to use it on other networks (it asks you only once, permanently).
is there a program or a flash i can put on my phone to allow it to accept gsm (prepaid) capabilities?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it doesn't have the hardware for gsm networks
thank ya sir ,thats what i was trying to figure out, incase i happen to sell it...

well that really sucks and thanks for the help
U can the evo pretty cheap now if u have one already they give great trade value towards upgrading as well. HTC makes great phones too

No chance at all actually.

WCDMA != CDMA. WCDMA is 3G GSM. CDMA is well CDMA.

WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. Its basically the standard for GSM 3G, and while similar to CDMA, there are enough differences that they are incompatible. Even if it did work, you wouldn't be able to call or text anyone and as a GSM phone there's no ESN so the network wouldnt recognize it anyway.
Actually worth, thinking about it....if you can find the firmware for sprint for Motorola Atrix 4G w
Atrix --> *#*#4636#*#*, go into phone info and see Atrix support for WCDMA, GSM, CDMA and EvDo

There is no firmware as the HARDWARE does not support CDMA. The only thing you could get working with a firmware update that does not work is T-Mobile 3G since the qualcomm mdm6200 modem chip in our phone supports petaband WCDMA. Now finding firmware to do this has proven impossible for me since there are other things included in the firmware that are different between phones and there is no T-Mobile Motorola equivalent to the atrix.
To sum up. Inorder for firmware support you need HARDWARE supper also.

bottom line op, get the motorola photon.
I love rezound very much, but you won't get a phone that you can not call and using internet. I'm with Vodafone AU, and the phone works for Verizon with LTE 4G.
Are there anyway to make it work with WCDMA? Any way to unlock or hack it?
Big thanks! Please help me become one of Rezounders in the future!
I want to help you ，but I dont know how to do ...

I'm not an expert or a dev, but I know for sure that we can't do much at all in the way of hacking until s-off is achieved. Furthermore, I could be wrong but I don't think the rezound supports wcdma.

The Rezound only operates on the CDMA2000 and LTE standards on top of operating only at specific bands.
Despite the similar name, WCDMA is not the same as "CDMA" - it is a GSM variant and is therefore not compatible with the Rezound, as the Rezound does not support nor contain a radio for that standard.
so then what is the diff between;
lte/voice
lte global
lte/cdma(auto)
I'm in a spot where Verizon says isn't the best coverage; although I'm constantly between 2-3 lte bars. is one superior than others

I had 3g goin while talking on the phone.....if that helps....
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
No, this phone can not be used as a world phone. You will be unable to use it on either CDMA or LTE. Not to mention, you have to have a Verizon LTE SIM to program the phone.
Next time, search! The answers to all these simple questions are in the forum.
Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to android stuff, so bear with me .
About a week back I bought this Motorola Photon 4g for Sprint off craigslist and used the kddi radii trick to make it work on GSM networks, namely T-Mobile. Right now imeon the hybrid 2.3.5 rom, but even when I was in the stock sprint rom, the carrier name randomly shows up as T-Mobil instead of T-Mobile. Is there any way to fix this other than spoofing the carrier name? Thanks for the help!
From what I know, the name is stored in SIM card, try to replace it with carrier.
Thanks, I'll try that. I'm actually planning on doing that soon anyway . The strange thing is it sometimes shows the full name T-Mobile, I'm still trying to figure that out haha

Where is the trick?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
My phone does this too, I'm not sure why. To me it seems like it says 'T-Mobil' when signal is pretty weak, but i have overall weak signal in my apartment so it could just be me making a bad guess.
same thing
i also have the same thing, but i haven't noticed it till you have mention it.
i guess it belongs to 2G/3G. coz when you are having connected to 2G it tells you T-mobil
while when you are connected to 3G it tells you T-mobile.
pleas tell me if i'm right
Can you not get tmobiles 4g or is it because bootloader is unlocked?

Tmobiles 4g is HSPA+ which is technically 3g
Jellybean Poppin MoPho
You guys must be in the refarm area cause the 3g frequencies are the same as the iPhone's. I'm still waiting on that . Btw I got a new SIM and it hasn't said T-mobil yet so maybe it's just a certain kind of sim that does it?
