If I get a thunderbolt and "put" it on virgin mobile or boost mobile will I be able to use 3g?
Sent from my Evo 4G using XDA App
You cannot use it on Virgin as Verizon uses different 3G bands. You could flash it to cricket or metropcs maybe though....

Nah not even, requires a sim card to send/receive phone calls, check out the unboxing video, if a sim isnt present you can't send/receive (excluding 911).

I believe that the sim card for the TB is only used for LTE. The sim card isn't used for 3G data from what I've seen.

That'll be good I just traded my mytouch 4g for an evo flashed it to metro pcs I live in NY so that didn't work is there anyway I can reset my evo back to stock settings so I can sell it untouched? Or do I have to go to sprint and have them reprogram it. Im gona flash the thunderbolt to boost mobile 3g and that's possible because they both use the same bands right?
Edit: boost mobile and virgin mobile are sprint, same bands and towers

Okay Jester...
I've some experience programming phones but could use some help on my tb. I've got phone and text to work (prl change w/cdma2.7) need to program mms, and get internet service working. Please help. I have workshop2.7, qpst
mms, internet, data
For data, internet & market use revskills. The demo will work. Go to the EVDo tab & read the phone. Change usernames to [email protected] and passwords to cricket. NOW BE CAREFUL THE LAST SET IS SWITCHED. THE USERNAME IS cricket and THE PASSWORD IS [email protected]. When you read the phone you will see what I mean. DON'T SWITCH THEM.
At least that's how I did it. There is a great tutorial on www.cricketusers.com for flashing TB to cricket.
I DO HAVE 1 PROBLEM WITH THE 1 I DID. IT WON'T RECEIVE CALLS. I GOT IT TO WORK BUT THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULDN'T RECEIVE CALLS BUT ALL ELSE WORKS. FIXED IT AND THEN AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING SAME THING ALL WORKS EXCEPT RECEIVING CALLS.
ANY IDEAS?
Do I lose cricket if I flash a new rom and wipe data and cache in CWM?

The only thing that is guaranteed to have an issue is the apn settings will be changed (to verizons) unless you load a custom built cricket rom and i am not sure if there is one for the tbolt.
apn's can typically be corrected/changed after the flash to allow MMS (picture messages) I will pm you with my number in case you need any more assistance.
Htc thunderbolt flashng
Hello to anyone out there who can hear me. I really need assistants on Flashing my HTC Thunderbolt. I purchased this phone off of Ebay. I went to three different locations and they want to charge me more for the flashing then I paid for the phone.. So unfair , However. I am requesting my viewers out there for some assistants for a step by step process on how I can do the flashing myself, to add my carrier Pageplus on my new wireless HTC Thunderbolt. Please assist, my old phone is holding on by a thread.. THANKS
Hi Guys,
Quick question for you experts. I use my Rezound as a 3G device, because I am on Page Plus and not Verizon, so I am only looking for 3G Speeds here.
I am facing this issue:
I get full 3G data speeds on the Stock ROM and let's say the Vennasaur Sense 4 ROM, WITHOUT ANY SIM in the phone.
However, when do the same exact process to install Newt's XXX, I get NO DATA, until I pop a generic NON LTE 4G SIM, and then, I am only getting 1X Data speeds ...
Restoring back to Stock or Vennasaur gets me 3G again :/...
Now I know that most of you don't care or would know much about Page Plus and using a Rezound with it, but, can someone tell me some of the technical reasons or differences between the two ROMs I mentioned above, that might be causing this data inconsistency between them?
I am Rooted (Unlocked Bootloader), Stock Earliest GB Build, and when I flash any of the Sense 4 ROMs, I apply the GB Firmware update patch...
Any ideas guys? Thanks for all your help!
Maybe LTE was disabled?
Check network settings.
Thanks for your reply. LTE is supposed to be disabled, since Page Plus doesn't have 4G.
I think the key lies with the way the two ROMs telephony works? Venasaur doesn't need the SIM inside to make 3G work, while XXX doesn't get data, period, until I put a NON-VZW SIM and then I finally get 1X data...
I even tried writing the proper 3G keys using CDMA WS to the 9K port of the Rezound, but the settings are NOT sticking or saving. I want to do it manually, but the ##778# and the ##Program# menus ALSO don't work in the XXX ROM ...
I am sure someone has the right answers for this, please help guys! Thanks!
Not sure if this works. You can make a note of APN settings when you are on vanesaur and create a new APN on newt ROM with those settings. Sorry if this is completely irrelevant

So I put the latest .10 ICS leak on my phone yesterday because I can't wait for the OTA since i'm leaving soon. I downloaded the 4G on off app and am thinking I should be able to pop in any SIM card and it should work on GSM. Is the phone unlocked? Also I might need to use my normal Verizon SIM to use in Italy and Spain. The verizon reps said if I left it in it would work just fine. Is this true? I currently don't have any GSM cards to test with and I've been looking everywhere for the answer but no success. Help would be amazing.
Thanks in advance
For full GSM support I believe you need to install one of the custom roms with it added...

But I thought that was one part of the ICS update. So is the phone kinda locked like I can only use verizons rates? I want to try a SIM but I don't have one
With GB or the ICS leak you probably can get basic calling and texts with a GSM cell company sim card.
With the conrom ROM you should also get mms and data to work. Supposedly everything works.
Also, I suspect gsm antenna is not in the extended battery cover, so you should use the standard back cover that came with the phone.
I personally have not tried gsm in my rezound, so the above advise might be incorrect. this is just something I am interested in.
howard
p.s. T-Mobile sells a $1 sim card with 10 minutes of talk time, an internet deal. So you can buy this $1 simm to test with.
p.p.s. You will also need to go into the settings and add the apn settings for the cell company whose sim you are using. data and mms won't work without this.

Thank you so much. I just need calling and data and mms to work. I'm just going to google how to change the APN setting as you said. Thanks a lot for the help man. I have the ICS leak which is supposed to support global roaming straight from VZW.
Well, there is a thanks button you can click on.
I do not know much about Verizon's New global roaming, bit I suspect it will be expensive per minute. Using a local cell company's sim card probably will cost less for long visits overseas.
I wrote an app called HZUTILS which can also do the radio changes like the LTE on off app. My app is free, also does a few other functions, and if you click on an advertisement I earn a few cents.
The CONROM is available in the development forum. During installation one is asked GSM or LTE. no easy switching back and forth. I suggest you make a nandroid backup first with Ramon ra recovery or the touch recovery. Restoring the backup is a method for returning to LTE. Or one can reinstall the conrom and select LTE.
If you look through the development forum you will find other gsm ROMs. The CONROM does both LTE and GSM, was made from the latest .10 ICS leak, and sounds like it is very reliable.
p.s. let me know how this works for you.
Thank you but I don't wanna root my phone really.. I forgot something last time and almost bricked it. Well not really but it was scary. My only question is really can I just switch it from your app as it is now because I can or must I have a custom Rom for some type of reason?

I recall, a few months ago, reading a very long multiple page posting about people having various levels of success with stock GB and changing the radio setting using LTE on off app. People were successful with phone calls and texting, but had difficulties with mms and data.
People did strange things to get data working, and it only worked for some people. I think it involved driving the phone in a car to get somewhere with no cell signal, then back home? Not sure, as I don't recall it very well.
Then people started typing in the APN for their gsm provider. This evening, just for fun I tried typing in the APN for T-Mobile into .10 ICS leak rezound, and it would not get saved. No error message. Verizon appears to have locked out the capability to add a non Verizon APN. So, yes, I think a gsm ROM is needed.
BTW, there must be plenty of rezound owners using GSM who can more confidently give you more concrete advise. They can tell you what they tried, what worked, what didn't, and what is the best approach. I think the answer is a GSM ROM, or paying high roaming charges to Verizon.
Alright ill just try and get a sim off someone on at&t and see what happens. But thanks a lot man I hope I get an answer from someone doing it. You were a lot of help ill let you know how it goes!!

I just received the official Verizon ICS in the last hour. I am poking around looking for the global feature, since it is THE promised reason I bought the phone. Offhand, I do not see the global feature anywhere . Network mode still only shows' LTE/CDMA' or 'CDMA only' as the choices, so it seems that 'global' is still not official from Verizon in the ICS as just shipped.
The LTE ON/OFF app seems to have a few more options than when I last looked, but I've no idea what's may have changed.
I put in a tmobile SIM card and changed the settings in the app to GSM and wcdma and it worked calling and texting! It didn't have data but if you go to mobile network settings and access point names I feel like you could add the apn and be golden using data and mms over gsm. I'm Hoping this is the truth but I don't have anything to test it with

I'm on the leak from three months ago, in Afghanistan. Popped in a sim card from a shop on base and it works with no problems. Calls only though no data. I'm using the extended battery. Had to use the lte on off app to put it in gsm.

Looks like option to switch to GSM is gone. Dialing *#*#4636#*#* does nothing...
that option to show network modes when dailing *#*#4636#*#* is removed in latest RUUs and official OTA, but however you may flash any of ROMs available to get GSM

So SMS worked with the ICS OTA, both send and receive? Last time I tried 2 months ago under Gingerbread, GSM calls were fine, but could only receive SMS text, could not sent texts, and never got data to work.
I've spent over 1/2 of the last 3 months overseas, so this is a big deal to me. Even if just the calls and SMS send/receive work, I will be pleased. VZ told me the global feature is not in this latest Verizon ICS OTA, but maybe the inner workings are there and they just haven't put in the frontend and any VZ profitmaking carrier lockouts?
I am off to South Africa next Friday. Sounds like I will have to get an MTN sim in ZA and try again when I get there. Maybe this ICS OTA will have some value to me afterall. I'll try to remember to post back here, whether it works or not. If it all works, however, I'm pretty sure the posting will only be redundant info, since my screams of giddiness would be heard around the world... afterall, I've been using an old unlocked GSM RAZR flip phone when I travel.

I thought I'd post this since I spent the last few days trying to get Rezound working with GSM and did not easily find this simple solution until now.
The stock ROM RUU 4.03.605.2 adds an option under Network Settings for "GSM / UMTS".
The phone is factory SIM unlocked and works with the Straight Talk SIM card without any problems. The only thing I had to do was to configure the APN settings according to the Straight Talk documentation. Voice, SMS, Data, etc. are all working fine on this phone.
The only Caveat is the "SIM card is from an unknown source" message that appears on the lock screen, but that does not otherwise affect the functionality of the phone.
I downloaded the RUU 4.03.605.2 from the Android Police website. The ROM is zipped and must be installed by copying it to the root of the SD as PH98IMG.ZIP. NOTE: The Zip file shows up as corrupt under windows. This is normal as the ROM/Zipfile is encrypted. The Rezound will be able to install the file. It takes about 15 minutes for the flash to complete. It does it in 2 or 3 cycles/reboots.
Note that since this is a stock rom, I set my phone to S-ON and LOCKED before I installed.
Rezound on Straight Talk (AT&T network), unlimited talk, text, ~2GB of data, $45/mon !
Plus it's a very nice phone!
So, is this a guide?
Because it really doesn't tell us anything we don't know.
ubiquityman, what are the data speeds you are seeing on straight talk? (screenshot?). I've been flirting with this idea for a while now, and if you can confirm at least HSPA+ speeds on the AT&T sim, I'm going for it.
Speeds
dustintheweb,
Where I live, I'm on the edge of the 4G (HPSA+). Speedtest shows 171kbps down and 265kbps up, so looks like HPSA only. I'm not in a large metropolitan area, but next time I'm closer to the center of town, I'll run the test against to see if I get a different result.
Verizon coverage is better where I live and they are supposed to have limited 4G coverage near my area, and I'll likely be moving my line over to Pageplus in a month or two, althought I understand 4G won't be supported. (I have to purchase CDMA Workshop first so that I can do the required edits to the phone settings for Pageplus).
greythewolf,
I was looking for this information but couldn't find here. I tried about half a dozen custom ROMs but couldn't get any of them to work 100%. I wasn't sure if this was my fault, Straight Talk's issue, or the ROM. Incoming messages would work but outgoing messages wouldn't. Anyways, I was delighted to find the stock rom worked, after spending hours and hours trying numerous ROMs. So, if I'm the last one to the party, sorry about that. I was just hoping to save someone else the time I wasted in previous efforts.
Thanks! I have tried searching through the forums and I've seen where Straight Talk SHOULD work and where people have tried and have had various issues. I am seriously considering this switch. Although I am loving GrayTheWolf's CM9 right now, I'd gladly switch back to stock if it means a fully functional phone on Straight Talk.
HSPA ?
This thread suggest HSPA+ works with Rezound.

Based on the status information on my phone, I've only been able to get Edge thus far, however, there's a high probability this issue is due to my locale.
What all settings exactly did you use? I installed that file from android police and set apn settings according to ST's info but still no data. I can send texts. Didn't try mms or voice.
EDIT: After rebooting the phone again and checking the APN settings most were still set except it changed the apn to vzwinternet. Changed back to att.mvno and seem to have edge working now. Voice, SMS, and EDGE data working. No 3G or MMS.

i installed the leaked global rom from android police site. you can change network mode to gsm/umts or leave it as global. Once the initial setup by straight talk takes place usually 20 minutes just reboot and select apn that you created.

My friend purchased a G900T that was broken for parts, which needed a new screen. Upon replacing the screen, the phone was functional, but he discovered that the IMEI number had been blacklisted on T-Mobile's network. We unlocked the phone to use it on ATT, and the device works fine on the ATT network, with the exception of mobile data. No matter what steps we have taken, putting in custom APN settings, we have not been able to get data to function.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be causing these issues?
Thanks a lot in advance! :good:
Have you tried to flash an AT&T ROM & AT&T Modem?
Or are you still running T-Mobile ROM & Modem?
Still running the stock Tmobile rom and modem. I thought about switching to ATT rom and modem, but I wasn't sure if that would brick the phone or if it should just work with the stock Tmobile modem. Can I just flash an ATT rom?
Just make a Nandroid beforehand.
T-Mobile S5 comes w an unlocked boot loader so you shouldn't have any problem. You put in an AT&T SIM card right?
You do not want to flash AT&T firmware on a Tmobile phone unless you are looking to brick it. You can however flash ROM's from Unified S5 threads (900F, 900T etc.) that are open to multiple model phones.
So if I flashed one of the unified roms, would that change the modem at all? I was thinking that it wouldn't be part of the package. Would just flashing an att modem be a terrible idea? I am using an Att sim card. Thanks for the ideas so far!
No, do not flash an att modem or ROM on a tmo device. It won't work, and it is not meant to work.
Does your subscription have an active smartphone data plan?
Are you getting any data connection (E, 3G, or 4G)_and you're not able to jump on the LTE or just no data at all?

This information lives in the build.prop file of your android OS and you're gonna have to look up how to back up and edit this file. Start off here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558 and keep on reading. I kbow this is exciting and you want to make it work quickly but it is not so simple. So reading and researching are your best friends.
Best of luck,

Okay, thanks for the info! We are just plain not getting any data at all, and the user does have an active data plan with ATT. MMS messages are not even able to be sent or received. So in this instance, do you think modifying the build.prop to match the example you gave me would resolve the issue? I'm pretty comfortable working with the build.prop on the device and just working the the Android OS in general so that should not be a problem.
So I guess checking the APN settings won't be a bad idea:

[Q] Tips on using a G900T on AT&T
See if the APN matches with this one, and toggle airplane mode on/off each time you change things in APN.

Okay, I had checked APN settings before, but I'm not sure if they were specific to the S5 on ATT or just some generic ATT one I found. That thread looks pretty helpful, I'll see if I can give it a shot later today.
You may also consider loading an international ROM for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
Is an excellent ROM

I know it's a foolish question, but you never know. Are you sure your mobile data is not turned off? My wife did that a while back.
I'm running a AT&T rom on my t-mobile s5 with out any problems as a matter of fact I have better signal.i just flashed rom not modem
Well thank you to everybody for insight into this. The link that Commodore 64 posted pertaining to the APN settings ended up fixing these issues. I had input different ATT APN settings I found in a different thread previously, but I guess they must not have been right. Still running the stock Tmobile rom and we are now able to get data and 4G with really good speeds.
Cheers!

May I ask what APN settings you are running? With the APN settings I'm using I get full 4G LTE data just about everywhere I go, besides way out in the stix then I get 4G in some spots.
