Galaxy SII LTE version support T-Mobile 3G by any chance... if not than I'll wait for the T-Mobile varient or Nexus Prime
I haven't heard anything either way, but since T-mobile doesn't have LTE, it would be surprising for the GSII to pack a penta-band GSM radio to support it...
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Dear XDA friends, I'm currently in the state, and using Galaxy S for Tmobile.
However, my mom coming to the state, and she says she will bring her Galaxy S2 for me cuz she recently changed to Note. So this would be an upgrade chance for me, and I love the design of international and Asian versions better than US version.
My question is, is it going to be possible to root, and flash one of the S2 roms that are in this site??? I'm aware i won't be able to use 3G speed, but if im lucky i would get new 1900mhz 3G though in SF. The phone is already country unlocked, but the reason why I'm trying to flash new rom is one of Korean wireless company developed their own messaging system on their S2 phones so because of that i won't be able to send text and mms.
If the interantional version and Korean version is the same, then sorry for my ignorance, but if they are different, can someone please give me help?
Thanks.
I just dont know which one. Its for my girl. These will be tmobile phones in this decision which will be on simple mobile.
Right now i have the lg g2x which is unlocked/rooted/running hellfire 2.2 Rom GB 2.3.3 and i love it, battery life sucks though.
What do you guys think about htc 1s vs galaxy s2? Or should we get galaxy s3?

Since you're asking for a comparison to the HTC One S, seems you're asking about phones for T-mobile USA?
This particular model of Galaxy S2 is not the model for T-mobile USA, and will only get Edge mobile data speeds on that network.
I'm guessing you want to know about the SGH-T989 .

As I said, the T-mobile USA Galaxy S2 is a different model. I linked the forum for that model above.
See wikipedia.
The i9100 (which this is the forum for: look at the top of the page) doesn't have the required antenna hardware to receive 1700 mhz UTMS, which is a required band for AWS. (the other frequency bring 2100mhz) T-mobile USA uses AWS for high speed mobile data.
So, the i9100 will only get Edge on T-mobile USA's network.
But if you don't believe me, just type "i9100 t-mobile edge" into google.

Ok i get what you are saying now. You scared me for a second there. I thought you meant "this model" as in the one i was referring to. Ok well while we are on the subject, isnt there something that can be done to the phones to switch the antennas like installing a new radio or something, or is it an actual physical piece of hardware that runs off different mhz to get 2g/3g/or 4g?

It's hardware. There is nothing you or anyone can do to the i9100 to get high speed on the T-mobile USA network with that phone.
If you want a Galaxy S2 model that gets high speed on T-mobile USA's network, you want the SGH-T989. I linked the forum for it above.
And back to your original question......
Get one S
Or S3..
do make sure one S is the Qualcomm S4 not the S3 with 1.7 GHz model.
HTC making one S with older processor after S4 shortage.
I travel all over the world but my Samsung galaxy SII (Sprint) doesn't work outside the U.S.
Is there a software/MOD I can install it to make it work outside the U.S.
Thank you!

You're asking in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the international Galaxy SII, the GT-I9100. It is a GSM phone. It does not even work on Sprint's network.
Sprint Galaxy SII is the Epic 4G Touch. It is a CMDA phone. It has a separate forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
cdma phoes will not work moutside of your provider because they are locked to sprint only.
You need a GSM varient to have a world phone.
This is driving me crazy. I have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out which model to get. I want the best speed available. I assume that is LTE 4G. There are too many models available. It is too confusing for me and calling T mobile is useless since none of their employees seem to know what is going on and so far 4 different employees have told me different things.
I am buying an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S3. I want the freedom to be able to use any carrier I want when I want. I am in the US. Apparently not all the models of the Galaxy S3 have 4G LTE capabilities. Which model has it please tell me. I just want to buy a phone. I never knew it would be this difficult.
GT i9305 SGH T999 i535. i747. i9300.
If I use Tmobile I want the LTE 4 G. the fastest internet possible.
I am buying the phone on EBAY listed as UNLOCKED
please help me
Questions go in the q&a forum, ask an admin to move your post.
Suggest you buy a phone that will work best in your country, the i9300 and i9305 won't due to region lock on newer firmware.
