OK I have looked and looked but to no avail. Can someone just give me a straight answer. Will the i717 work with a T-Mobile SIM? t-mobile finally works in my area and decided to go with them, on their $30 a month plan. Which is 100 min( I don't talk much) and unlimited text and data ( data up to 5GB first 2 4G, 3G then on also they give you SIM or $.99 if you order their web site Another reason I went with them, cause I can use any unlocked GSM phone on their network. I never had much of a choice when it came to cell service since I live up in the mountains of East Tennessee. Only Verizon and Sprint Picked up at my house. You'd have to go 4 miles down the road to pick any GSM carrier. So any ways I just got a sweet deal on an i717 on eBay for $238 in great condition with some accessories. I read around that the Radio's and can be changed to accommodate T-Mobile's service? I have rooted devices before and know that's not a problem to put a custom ROM it so as to have the right radio. But Need advice on what to do and where to start. Anyone's help and I will forever be indebted to you. I apologize if This has been answered else where ....I just couldn't find it.
Yes this note will run on t-mobile network. Nice plan!
1. Flash CWM kernel.
2. Flash rooted kernel.
3. Flash Blaze modem.
4. Input APN settings.

A buddy of mine is wanting to do the same thing only he wants the N7000 instead of the i717. I know that the N7000 in the international Version but could you do the same with what yo explained to me with the i717?
Send a PM to Bigjoe. He is a contributor to the international version as well, so he will guide your friend.

The international version doesn't support the bands and features a different chipset altogether. I wouldn't recommend getting it for T-Mobile, you'll probably be stuck on EDGE data forever.
Tmobile wont work on Note-7000
Brought a international note on Ebay, used with Tmobile in San Francisco area.
Getting only edge speeds.
Hi everyone, Im considering buying a HTC Rezound off ebay, the thing is that I dont live in USA (I live in the DR) and I've read
a lot about the "GSM mode" on the rezound but I've still have a few question(Forget me if they've been already answered, as i've searched everywhere for clear answers, including the original gsm thread):
1- Do I need to get some sort of unlock code from verizon to use a sim card with it (an Orange sim card from The Dominican Republic)
2- Does the Rezound supports 3G on the 900mhz band?
thats for now, thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry again if this been answered before, believe me I searched, (Im a "former" HD2 owner, so searching an reading tons of tech stuff is not
something new to me )
I contacted a local seller who claims that the rezound supports 3g on 900mhz band, he told me we could meet so he can show me in person
that it is actually getting 3g.

1) ok first of all the rez should work without an unlock code right out the box with ANY GSM sim card... if it's a stock rom you just won't have data(browse online) and if you try sending a text you lose service..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
that was when it first came out.. now you can just flash a custom rom and get full working data without worries... if you need help on that as well tell me
2) i live in the commonwealth of Dominica and i'm on GSM with Digicel... they don;t have 3g down here but they are on the 900 mhz band but the have 3g and even 4g in other countries so yes you should get 3g on the 900mhz band..
thanks a lot jahrize! I bought the phone, now all I have to do is wait for to arrive, I'll update this thread once I get it going.
thanks again.

Im not sure I understand, are you thinking of going TO Verizon? as What I meant is that I WILL NOT use this phone with verizon.
anyways if what you mean is that you're switching to Verizon but you're also planning to use this overseas as a gsm device from time to time then we're (almost) on the same boat, anyways the phone hasn't arrived yet, (think I'll be getting it by the end of the week). I'll post here whatever I find about it, wish me (us?) luck

Sorry for the confusion.

I love it over there. Completely different way of life compared to New York. At one point I was considering a move to there but decided I want until I'm in a better position.
Do you just for vacation purposes or family??

Glad to hear you like it here, as for the reason I'm here,well I actually live here, Im Dominican. I bought the Rezound because the hardware is excellent and since CDMA phones are a bit cheaper than their GSM counterparts (at least on ebay) I went for it. Back to the phone, yesterday I spent a few (too many) hours trying to unlock it with HTCDEV.Com but I did not succeeded as the page was constantly logging me out, but today I tried it again at work (yeah I know ) and I finally got the unlock code, but I havent tried to unlock it yet as I read somewhere that it is best to first update to (offficial?) ICS to get the latest firmware and radio and then unlock it as if one tries to update after unlocking it will not update. By the way do you know how could I flashed the official update as I haven't been successful trying to get it OTA and im a bit confused with all the leaked ICS ruu floating around.
Thanks.
As promised here's the update: it works!!! It gets to connect to hdspa on the 900mhz band.
Of course setting it from stock was a bit of a chore. But it is done. I'm updating this from my HTC rezound running ics sense 4.0 3g on orange dominicana
Hello everyone,
So I'm not too good with the whole modem/baseband issue. What I'm trying to find out is which modem file works best with AT&T, and since AT&T sells a different version of the S2, I know I can't use the basebands for that model. Does anyone have a recommendation for a baseband that might work. I'm in Manhattan, KS, but I don't need anything tailored to my area in particular, just something that would work US-wide (I'm coming from the korean version of the S2, so my baseband is COMPLETELY different for some reason)..
Thanks a TON for the help, everyone!

You don't wanna get a branded ROM, you are looking for as stock as it gets ROM (super-hyper unbranded). Forget about AT&T, I really don't think basebands differ from one model to another.
I might be wrong- doesn't feel like it, but I might-.

[REF] Galaxy S 2 Shipped Modem Collection
Happy new year
Paulius
Let me start out by saying this is not a 'what is best modem' thread. I have done a lot of research and I thought maybe other XDA members' input would help. I have an international galaxy S3, using it with Tmobile. I know you guys say I will only be getting 2g/Edge. But I live in the DC area, so am getting constant H/H+ speeds. Anyway, I have been getting a lot of draining from my phone's radio and I was wondering if there were any Tmobile users who have previously flashed any modems and which ones would work with T-mobile in the US? Thanks in advance guys.
You mention this is not a "best modem" thread. Ok fair enough, but you obviously put that because you know they are not received well. I just wanted to go into why that is which may also (unfortunately) put a dampener on what you are hoping to achieve in this thread.
Please note, I am trying to help here. I'm not trying to nit pick.
Anyway, I digress.
I could be you next door neighbour and have the same phone as you on T-Mobile. I could say radio x is best. Even though you are only next door, this could be the worst for you. There are so many variables that go into it that you simply can never have a simple answer.
It may be radio x is best for me because it's bouncing signals off the tin roof of my garage (that you can't see) better than radio y. The building I work in may be brick walled and yours concrete. I may be in locations where you may not be during the day. I may have a different rom. Different radio interface layer. Different apps and configurations... it all goes towards a completely different experience.
Then t-mobile is massive. Not just on your street. Different people, different masts, different terrain, different altitudes...
Anyone who gives advice to you here, they may say radio x is better. If it is, its coincidence. Really all you can do is try them all and see whats best for you.
Again, I'm not getting at you. I just wanted to give you some insight so don't be too disappointed if you don't get the results you hope from this thread

Really appreciate the answers/details man. I know you are just trying to help and it's nice that you were polite. I understand that there is no 'best modem', but I was wondering if there was any specific modem to work with I9300 in Tmobile US, that's all. I bought my phone unlocked from France, and it's been draining my battery a bit. So, wondering if any given radio will work here in the US, dont want to run into problems. But thanks man, I appreciate your response!
Its literally just a case of trying them all. My carrier specific (3 uk) modem is actually the worst for me than any other.

i got 3 uk as well. i had to flash the 3 uk modem since the rom i flashed came with a different modem. So Im guessing you have the NELK2 modem flashed on your as well or a different one? Sometimes my phone has 2 signal bars but says 3 service not available with the triangle and exclamation point. Whats a fix for that or is that normal?
i found modems here if this helps you OP:

I always use the latest modem unless I find it to be bad. You'll get that triangle if there's no service

I recently got a galaxy note buts its the tmoble version t879, and i wanted to know if i can run these roms on the t moble version, there are no roms on the tmoble version of the note's page. I mean that page is beyond dead. i did some research and found out the i717 can run t879 roms because the phone are about identical, only the i717 have lte. so if this page is alive can someone tell me if i can run these rom on my t879, you would be great help.
Another question im using a att sim card in the t879, and it was working fine when the phone was stock, but after a put a new rom i no longer get service at all. sould a flash an att modem?
Thanks in advance:laugh:

As far as I know, they are 100% compatible. Many folks rum them on Tmobile. I beleive you other issue is the same as everyone else too.
You will just have to flash away with different modems to find one that works in you area.
I am not the modem master, but I saw this post a couple days ago and still no answer for you.
Flashing the different modems will not hurt you. They either work or they dont.
Good luck. Run a search
