1. This isn't T-Mobile forums
2. This isn't Skyrocket forums
You have an Tmobile GSII but you want to flash a Skyrocket radio?
Im not even sure where to send this off to (back to Tmobile or the Skyrocket forums) so Im just going to close this and you can figure out where to read and ask.

I am really itching to get this phone, as my contract is going to be done within weeks. I know that the EU version wont support tmobile 4g. How about the Canadian version??? the bell/ virgin galaxy s II 4g. Would this version work tmo usa??
Check the bands. Google it. If they're the same then it will work. AT&T's 4G network will work with European and Canada's will also I believe.

that's the problem, I am new to this stuff and willing to learn. Let's start with what BAND is, and how do I check that BAND.
I am not 100% sure. But I believe that it well not work on T-Mobile USA 4G network. It uses different frequencies. If the SGS II ever comes out on Rogers then it will work on T-Mobile USA.

You are right. And once the merger goes through the T-Mobile 3 and 4g phones wont work on 3 or 4g. This was already stated by att and tmobile

By that time the Galaxy S III will come out lol. But I will definitely love the HSPA+ speeds on my SGS II.
If you really want it either:
1) Switch to AT&T, you will get 4G speeds
2) Wait for the Samsung Hercules to come out on T-Mobile (Should be this or next month)
In the end, all people who buy T-Mobile phones now will eventually suffer later on. ;D
Is there any way to flash a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (SCH-I500) to a Telus GB Rom/ Telus Radio so I can use it on Telus network?
No. Not at all.
good day.
I was referring to the Telus Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus SGH-T959D), which is also a CDMA handset. Is there a way to modify the network operator, radio and modem in the VZW I500 ROM or Kernel?
No you can not!
That is a gsm phone. That's why the model number starts with sgh. If it was a cdma phone it would start with sch.

As everybody knows the At&t version of the Note will be using a qualcomm chip. Now i know the chip different compared to the skyrocket but i was wondering you guys think its possible to flash the Tmobile Galaxy S2 modem and get Tmobile 3G service.
Reason why i asked this because the Skyrocket and Tmo GS2 are similar in nearly every aspect except that they both use slightly different chips i believe. But there software and modem can be interchangeable. So i was wondering if the same possibility can happen on the Note.

Difference thats the unlocked version which doesn't have similar hardware to the the GSM US GS2, and if trying to flash would brick the Note. Unless you start from scratch which is a hassle. The AT&T has similar hardware to the GS2 in US so the modem switch wouldn't require much work besides a simple modem flash i believe. This is due to my experience with the Skyrocket and the Tmo GS2.
Any other thoughts on this? I'm on T-Mobile and will gladly give up my int version for the at&t one.

Typically AT&T version will have even less 3G band support than international version. For example, GS2 international has quad band 3G while AT&T i777 only has triband 3G.
The chance that you will see 3G on T-Mo on AT&T Note is close to zero. That's the price you pay for chosing T-Mo.

The At&t Note has nearly the same hardware as the Samsung Skyrocket.(which does support T-Mobile 3g) All that needs to be done is flashing the t989 radio.
I suppose only time will tell if it will work on the Note also.

Well its 749.99 off contract, right now idk if its worth it since in 2 months the SGS3 is coming out due to rumors. Well so far everything lines up the Gnote seems to have the same internals of the GS2 so the modem will most likely to work.

Not sure if you mean a stock Skyrocket but when I used my wife's T mobile SIM card to unlock my skyrocket it got edge for data not 3G. I think this is harder than it sounds. Hopefully someone can get this to work.

What he meant is that Skyrocket uses the same Qualcomm chip as T-Mo GS2. All you have to do is flash the T-Mo GS2 modem. Since there is no T-Mo GNote, you will have to take the risk to try T-Mo GS2 modem youself which may or maynot work and may brick your phone.
There also could be differences in attena design that may not work the best for 1700Mhz AWS band.
I'm suggesting a good rom/kernel/radio combination for the att note. I have a skyrocket on T-Mobile 4g with 3-7 mbps download and 100kps upload for some reason...I flashed the tpc custom rom and custom kernel and tried each radio till the telus radio showed up 4g...its working great thus far. Im going to try the same combo on my note when cwm is released and stable. Hopefully it works

Why don't you read before posting? Look at the date of the post, it was before the AT&T Note was even released, obviously before it was found out that it does work for T-mobile.

T mobile S2 is different from the international version. There is a separate forum for it on xda.

The phone is obviously sim-locked, no need to redirect him to another forum.

Yes I understand that, but his problem is that it's T mobile but locked to at&t which is weird. Maybe someone in the correct forum knows about it. I doubt people here have heard of such a thing.

So should i keep looking on this forum or try the other?

First thing you need to do is confirm model number. Look on the label under battery. Is it GT-I9100? Could be that it's a European T-Mobile Galaxy SII that somehow got sim-locked to AT&T.
T-Mobile Europe is different than T-Mobile USA, and uses different frequencies.
EDIT: FYI, GT-I9100 will work on both T-Mobile USA and AT&T, but will only get Edge data speeds on T-Mobile USA. It only gets 3G/H/H+ on AT&T's network, or other network that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. T-Mobile USA has their own bastardized version of the Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-T989.
In addition to that, AT&T has their own branded version of the Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-I777, and a bastardized version that is LTE enabled called the Skyrocket, which is the SGH-I727.
And this doesn't even mention all the other models for other North American carriers, or any of the Asian variants.
All really confusing, huh? Clear as mud?
This may be obvious but I shall ask anyway.
I have the AT&T Note flashed with the T-Mobile modem(test4.zip to be exact).
If I was to put an AT&T sim card in the phone, would the phone be able to connect to either 3G or 4G LTE?
I figured I would probably have to flash an AT&T modem, but was hoping for simplicity if I was to sell my Note for the TMO version.
No you would have to flash an AT&T radio back as you will only get Edge...
