I know this question has been posted but I can't find the answer.
I live in Canada and am on the Bell network.
My phone died a horrible death, and I want to buy a HTC Titan on eBay.
All I can find that are unlocked are AT&T X310a. What I want to know is will they work for me on the Bell network
If not what should I be looking for.
Thanks MrRusty

Will it work? Yes
Will you get 3G (HSPA+)? Depends is Bell 3G on the same frequency (850 & 1900)?
I purchased an unlocked AT&T Titan and put it on the Telus network and it works great. Telus and Bell are 3G HSPA+ 850 1900.
Thanks very much for the responses!
The AT&T you bought was the model number X310a or X310e and does it have a AT&T stamped on it.
And did you just stick your sim card in it and away you went.
And thanks ahead of time for any help.
You may not be able to use MMS though as it will probably only have settings for at&t in the database, Even connection set-up may not work properly, I could not use an at&t branded Titan 2 for MMS in the UK, Everything else worked fine, The best option is to get an EU Titan X310e which wont have any branding etc.
I have at&t x310a.
It works on Bell network just fine.
Has anyone used x310e from Europe?
Will it work the same?

Off-topic:
MMS won't work even with the EU Titan on many networks.
In UK O2, Giffgaff and T-mob have frequent issues.
Three, Vodafone, Orange seems to be ok with MMS.
Probably same with US networks? Some will work and some wont.

Thanks for the great posts, really helps and good to know as mine is on it's way
Did you install a custom rom on yours, or running the AT&T stock.
Were you able to uninstall the AT&T apps?
I know this sounds stupid ... can you remove the AT&T logo on the front top of the screen.
Just asking :laugh:
AT&T Logo is beneath the glass- so unless you replace the lcd itself it won't be possible to remove the logo.
As for custom roms, I haven't unlocked the phone. I've ordered the Y-cable and patiently waiting for it to arrive...
I've read on xda that all you need to do to unlock and install a custom rom on the AT&T x310e or x310a is to install HSPL then you can just install the custom rom.
Have anybody done on and the steps involved.
AT&T Custom Rom Install
let me try and get this straight in my mind
I just picked up a new AT&T Titan (P139100) and I live in Canada and on the Bell network.
The phone is unlocked x310a or x310e
Can I just hold down the volume + and power button to start boot mode plug into my laptop and then just install Dynamics 7 v1.21 or can I just get away with installing HSPL then rom

Not quite. Before embarking with installation of custom rom it pays for you to have good read on the titan development section and understand how this work or not work especially with ATT branded titan. Basically you will need to use a gold card method to flash dft spl 2.5 before you can install dft hspl both are pre requisite so you can install custom rom.
Goodluck.

To get rid of this annoying unlocked code business, you need to flash a stock Cingular rom 1.10, then force update to 8107 or Tango using cab sender, and problem solved

Ok then... it's a AT&T phone but I use a Cingular rom. Do I have to flash using a Gold card and y cable and with SPL then HSPL then update with the rom or can I just Flash it with the Cingular Rom. And if it's that easy is there a link to the Cingular Rom 1.10
And better still is there a wiki on how to do it with software links.
Thanks
Cingular rom is the stock rom for ATT branded phone and you only need to use RUU to flash this rom. Downloand ROM and RUU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334468

Thanks for the Idea and link but the link doesn't work for the Cingular rom and I can't find another file hosting page to d/l from.
And another question (soooo many questions! ) any one know how to view your cell phone files in windows explorer on your pc
I tried the registry edit thing but that didn't work.
OK I have finally found the Cingular Eternity rom and ruu.
Can you point me towards a link to the cab sender or the instructions on how to do it.

OK so I found the Cingular ROM and install it, the re-locking problem has gone away.
I updated to Tango (8773) and all runs great!... but
After I installed 7720, HTC Connection Setup app wasn't there and after upgrading to 8773 it still isn't there.
The problem I have is I can't send a picture with a text message. I can send a text message fine, surf the internet with WiFi on and off.
I have 4G everything works great, I just can't send a pic attached to my text message and I can't receive a picture either if some one sends a text with a pic attached. I have gone into the APN settings and entered all there is to enter from the Bell site but still nothing.
When I got the phone it came loaded with AT&T 7720 and had the connection setup app installed and it entered the info fine and I had text and picture attached and it worked great. I could send text messages with pics attached all day long and it worked fine.
What I want to know is is there a way to get into the MMSC or what ever they call it to tell the phone it can use this feature. As I said before it worked fine when the connection setup app was there. But it's unavailable now from the HTC market site

Hi!
I have a GSM Orange UK HTC Hero updated to the latest FW from Orange. I hear 2.1 release is quite close and HTC will be releasing the general version and after god know how long Orange should come up with a release as well.
I have now unlocked my phone to all networks, and currently using with 3 UK. I was wondering if I upgrade from my Orange ROM to the General one released by HTC, will it work?
Thanks in advance!

Yes it will work fine,... Only issue I can see arising is that you will have to add your apn settings manually, but thats no deal-breaker. ....

The phone might not let you put anything other than an Orange Rom on your phone (if it was origionally an orange handset) you would have to use the "goldcard method" to enable you to trick the phone into installing other carriers or generic roms.
I suggest that you just root the device and use a rooted rom, will save all the hassle in trying to switch between official roms, and you don't have to lose any of the functionality.

I have a feeling that orange Rom wont let you use anything other than the orange Rom. I think if you root it you might be able to flash it to the general one, but then again if you have root might as well get a custom one instead.

followed the instructions on the unlockr..strangely enough it told me to downgrade using i think goldcard method but i just downloaded the old RUU from htc and htc sync it.(somehow it downgraded,dun ask me how)..the rest was to follow the steps
You don't need a gold card for the Orange handsets (well I didn't). Just install a new recovery then you can update with any zip file you like.
I would start over at Modaco as there is a thread called "Installing the patched recovery image on your device" in the sticky section.
I carrier unlocked my phone ATT Titan on Friday. I tested by installed a T-mobile SIM and i was receiving network signal on the T-mobile network. However, I'm not receiving the 8107 update. Is this not the same as having a debranded phone? I debranded my Samsung Focus and the update followed soon after. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? Thanks
its not the same as having a debranded phone ! .
the process of unlocking you mentioned just allows you to use other sim cards on an at&t device . but your device is still an at&t device .
the only true way of unbranding your phone now is to flash an unbranded rom . which i think its still not possible as of now .

DOH!!!!!!! That would explain why my Focus got the update. I flashed it witha custom ROM and then it got the update. So there aren't any custom HTC Titan ROMs?
I have a unlocked titan but i have not got the update yet. Anything i can do to get it?
Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
Have you tried forcing the update through Zune? Search for an update then see if it finds one, If not search again and you will need to unplug your Modem/Lan cable as it searches again, Its a trial and error thing and getting the timing right is the difficult part, I managed to force the 8107 using this method, There should be some threads lurking around somewhere on XDA, Best of luck.
Also remember it is the network carriers who dish out the updates, Maybe if you put an ATT sim back in it may update easier then you can go back to T-mobile etc.
Do you need interop unlock for reg access?

No custom ROMs yet, Don't know about REG access but imagine you would need a dev unlocked device.

Hy guys i have a big problem and i need advice. i was using some rom ics with 3.6 sense and today it start boot loop then i decided to test this
Team Venom presents: Viper3D 1.0.0 Nightly welcome to the future. installation went great but the problem started there. it can not find any network. i tried full wipe of everything but its the same. it does not let me update radio anymore. everything else works. IT revolutionary shooter_u Xa shio s-off RL, hboot- 1.49.1107, radio - 11.25.3504.06_M, cid is HTC__001
and i am using gsm version
Your cid is HTC_001 right? Well that means your unbranded right? Well that could be the problem. If your not branded with a carrier your not going to get a mobile signal. There's nothing wrong with your phone bro. Since your radios are up-to-date of course it won't let you upgrade. Suggestion: brand your phone to get a mobile network. Hope that helps you.

i will try. how to do that?
That depends on what mobile carriers are in your region. Whichever one you chose, you will have to find the right stock ruu with the carrier you want service from. For instance, If you want Vodafone service you would get a shooterru ics Vodafone (with matching radios) ruu file and flash it through your bootloader. Now please make sure you find the correct one or else you will brick your phone. Now, to verify you are on Vodafone check your cid which should say voda_001 or something like that. Note this was hypothetical scenerio and used as an example. But you get my point. After you find your appropriate ruu and flash it. Call the mobile carrier and ask to activate an account with them to get your phone activated. Just remember that I nor nobody else is responsible if you turn your phone into a expensive paperweight.

i understand but the problem is to find correct cid of this network and the orginal is probably changed. It Vipnet Croatia part of A1. Do you have a suggestion where to look?
Ok after much research, I have reached a deadend. So, let me ask you this, is your cid still HTC_001? Does Vodafone own vipnet? If so, maybe flash a Vodafone cid might work for you? I'll try to keep looking, in the meantime is there anybody you know that has vipnet on their evo 3d that can tell you what their cid is?
last i checked (a couple years ago) vipnet was owned by vodaphone.
he's s-off and should have absolutely no problem downgrading his radio, so this is rather puzzling
also I don't think CID should have any effect on his signal
my best guess would be that since viper3D is sense 4.0 based it doesn't play nice with some aspects of the phone, try flashing another rom/kernel maybe, bottom line if i'm wrong you rule those two out,
hope this helps
Ok just checking because he was asking to write a vipnet cid to his phone and after looking through google I came into that conclusion that he could probably brand his phone with Vodafone. I'm pretty sure there was nothing wrong with his phone just needed a mobile carrier to have an active data signal. Thanks for helping me help him.

Seriously, we are trying to help you. Your radios have nothing to do with your problem. You have to have an active service on your phone for all these features to work. Based on what you have told us it has to be a no service issue. You have to brand your phone with a mobile provider and contact them to set up an account. You do this by flashing a firmware to get your radios intune with your carrier of choice. I did look all over the place and cannot find a vipnet firmware anywhere. My suggestion is to flash to Vodafone for your region. Cid does not have anything to do with getting service since you are unbranded. When you brand your phone the firmware will convert your phones cid to match with the correct cid to have network service. I hope this helps you. I really hate to see you screw up your phone from not listening to our advice.

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.

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...

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.

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.
Hey guys. I couldn't get AT&T to unlock my s3 so I downgraded to android 4.1.1 to do the free unlocking method. It worked, but my phone has AT&T apps in it, and when updating it says crap like updating from AT&T server or w/e.
When using ODIN, was I supposed to install the AT&T or the T-Mobile version of the 4.1.1 android?
I figured since it's an at&t phone I have to reinstall the at&t so it doesnt mess up the drivers or anything (I totally made up that conclusion myself).
Also, I don't get 4g LTE now and only get E internet. Do I have to do some settings so the phone cooperates with T-Mobile?
As always, thank you very much for the helping hands.

You're probably going to need to setup the apns for Tmobiles network to work for your phone fully.
It automatically made one called tmobile but I dont know if I have to edit it.
Was I supposed to install android 4.1.1 for at&t or tmobile?

As far as i know you should be fine on the at&t rom, You're just going to need to edit those apns probably.

Well, how about this? I install the T-Mobile rom. Shouldn't that have the proper apns?
Now another question comes to mind. Since this is originally an at&t phone, will installing the T-Mobile rom mess it up?
Anyone? Help plz
