Will my rooted unlocked Atrix work on TMobile US? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's running CM7.2 stable.
I'm selling it to someone who wants to use TMobile. What do I have to do?

Is it sim unlocked or bootloader unlocked? If its sim unlocked, just put the T-mobile sim in. Note that until T-Mobile starts activating more of their AT&T compatible 1900Mhz spectrum, you'll only get Edge.

It's bootloader unlocked. And I'm selling it so.. Lol. I told the buyer to use an online service to get an unlock code.

T-Mobile?

Would the photon work on T-Mobile on edge? I lost my photon. But found it tonight. Would rather use the photon more then the nexus one.

Photon will not work on U.S. GSM carriers yet?!
the photon will not work on any gsm network in the US, even with unlocked bootloader and custom ROM, the phone's radios block any us gsm sim card.

Global ready?

While ordering my Note 2 today I was reading the specs and vz lists it as global ready. So does this mean it is capable of being used on GSM networks?

Yes. I don't know if it will work with a domestic AT&T or T-Mobile SIM though.
Has any one tried a AT&T SIM card yet?
My guess..cause every other vzw global phone is this way...is you will have to get the sim unlocked. Usually accomplished by calling vzw and asking for the code.

Actually, every Verizon LTE phone that has enabled GSM capabilities has come unlocked out of the box. Verizon's older 3G-only devices that had global capabilities came locked, but the LTE devices come unlocked. There's no need to call to get it unlocked.
The Note 2 is unlocked and capable of GSM use outside of the U.S. right out of the box. As for domestic use on AT&T and/or T-Mobile, I haven't seen any confirmation either way. Some Verizon LTE devices work on domestic GSM networks, but other don't.
Sort of global ready. The sim slot is unlocked and you can use any sim card and make voice calls. They removed the ability to set an APN so if you are not using verizon ....... no data, just voice.

Anybody using this on AT&T?

I know the specs show that it has AT&T LTE bands, but had anybody actually used it on AT&T LTE yet? If so, please report your impressions.
Thanks.

I'm confused why so many people are worried about unlocking and band compatibility. Get the one from your own carrier !

Works exactly the same for me using an AT&T SIM in the T-Mobile HTC one. The other way around, I get less HSPA+ service using an AT&T SIM in a T-Mobile HTC One.

No. The AT&T one doesn't fully support T-Mobile while the T-Mobile one fully supports BOTH T-Mobile and AT&T.
For people who don't want CDMA-based service, the T-Mobile version is the best one to buy for compatibility.

Are you sure about that, Maybe the AT&T version needs to be unlocked for it to work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ Network. I hope like hell it does because I would like to have the 64gb version working on my Network of choice, T-Mobile of course.

This has been discussed to death on the boards.
All the phones have the same internal radio hardware but what's been flashed to each device is different.
i got a att version unlock, big mistake for tmobile. i flashed tmobile rom and radio. alot of places in new york i get 2G which it was constant 4G with my note 2. Place where i get 4G i only get 7mbps. while with my note 2 i was able to get up to 18mbps. Order the tmobile version will return this one. The only reason i bought this is because they had it locally in ATT store while tmobile htc one is on backorder and not avail in any store.
Unfortunately Samsung doesn't just make the same model for both I would imagine it would save them money also but att phones work slow on T-Mobile but other way around your golden

T-Mobile

Was looking into the metallic blue One unlocked for use on tmobile since there aren't any color options on my carrier.
Obviously the two carriers use different bands so I wanted to confirm if I get an unlocked one I should be ok? Also if I purchase a locked ATT One is there any special method to unlock it besides a code or will I be required to root and unlock and s off and all of that?
I am currently in an active LTE area for tmobile which has been refarmed in some areas from E to HSPA+.
Outside city is mostly E coverage anyway.
So I'll be ok with getting just LTE or E only when. Outside the city. But from my understanding the ATT model is lacking the band for any refarmed HSPA area?
Thanks for the clarification.

Awesome thanks! Did you do anything special to unlock it or just buy it unlocked?

It was unlocked, I bought it off of swappa but it is a AT&T branded phone.
FYI i just was able to load a t-mobile rom onto it.. so if you superCid it then you can load a t-mobile rom and have the wifi calling feature too .

Nothing special to unlock, stock rom, get code, enter and insert other carrier sim, done.
Awesome thanks for the info everyone. Im really on the fence about getting one, or the Galaxy S4 Google Play edition. The camera is whats making my decision killer.

T-Mobile Cell on AT&T

Will an Unlocked T-Mobile work well with AT&T Sim on its LTE network?? Hear T-Mobile does not have bootloaders Locked?
Yes, tmo SM-G900T and metro PCs SM-G900T1 both have unlocked bootloaders and both work on att if they are carrier unlocked.

TMO's bootloader is NOT locked. Plus the TMO S5 has ALL the LTE bands that AT&T uses plus some additional bands that are TMO specific. So it's a G900A that has an unlocked bootloader and will work on TMO's network. :laugh:
