Would it be possible to flash a radio from another VZW device to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 tab that would enable voice calls? This was actually done with the 3g galaxy tab 10.1 in the u.s. using the international radio. That instance was near identical so it makes sense that it worked easily.
There is currently an unofficial CM10.1 build out for the device with data enabled that has the dialer and messaging apk enabled. The tab can actually dial out and receive an incoming call, but no sound can be heard nor can you speak through the mic. The messaging app works perfectly fine sending MMS/SMS messages.
After looking around, it seems the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Stratosphere are dead on matches when it comes to the CDMA chip in the 7.7 (VIA Telecom CBP7.1).
The 7.7 Does use separate basebands for CDMA and LTE. I am not interested in flashing an alternate LTE modem, only the CDMA modem.
So for those that know, I have a multitude of questions:
Does flashing an incorrect CDMA radio always result in a brick?
Would Odin successfully flash an incorrect CDMA modem file or would the flash fail?
If an incorrect CDMA radio is attempted to be flashed via Odin and succeeds, would it be flashed to the correct partition/area on the device?
Is knowing the partition layout of the device I would like to flash the modem from necessary in order to have the CDMA modem flashed?
Since the tab has a separate LTE modem, would flashing an incorrect CDMA modem break 4G LTE?
Would flashing the sch-i815 modem restore the Tab's radio in case it doesn't work?
I am curious because i have read around and noticed galaxy note users flashing radios for use on T-Mobile, etc..

Hey guys,
Longtime lurker, first time poster and all of that.
I am in possession of a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (Korean model SHV-E120S).
I would love to help get custom ROMs and other things onto this device, and I'd be happy to dump my phone or provide system images... if I knew how to get them!
It seems Samsung does their mounts a little custom, as the ROM dumpers I've found don't work (missing a /proc/mtd). Can anyone point me towards how to get a dump of the .img or other files someone much smarter than I needs to get development off the ground? Even if devs don't pick it up, I'd like to get a dump of the files anyway for my own tinkering.
Appreciate any replies
hi brother l have the same device and l want the full firmware .I found the room but not the full firmware I need the PDA and pit files .go to the first section (galaxy s2 general) then go to (Korean galaxy s2 ....) on page 54 and 58 you find 3 links for the room
Yes, I saw that ROM posted before, though the tar appears broken.
What I am looking for is a tool or a guide for dumping the ROM myself. I have rooted the device (Zergrush v3) but not much else.

Hi.
I have the shv-120s and I also want a full firmware.
Love the phone. But I want swedish meny.
I think there's only English, Korean and a [custom?] Chinese ROM for the Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) and LTE (SHV-E110L) phones.
If you want to update your firmware, try Samsung Kies software:
Code:
samsung.com/ca/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
So have any of you been able to use this phone in America? Are you using a custom or stock ROM? Korean or Chinese? When I try to use the phone here in Canada w/ Rogers or Fido, it won't connect to any HSPA/3G networks. Can anybody can help?

I am actually in Korea for the next year and change, so I can't vouch for it on Canadian networks. From what I know of the radio, it should work on Rogers GSM networks for 3G, but it won't get LTE/4G service there (different frequencies in Korea/North America). Are you sure your phone is unlocked?
I am running the stock Korean ROM 2.3.6, but I have rooted mine with zergRush.
Actually I should get 3G & LTE (because Rogers claims to use LTE 2600) but no HSPA+. It wont connect to the network. I suspect that it's possible that the ROM is keeping me from connecting since it's asking me if I want to use Network data outside of South Korea. I suspect the ROM wont connect to foreign data bands. I was just wondering if there was any way to try another ROM...
Hi all,
Last month I had just bought Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) in Korea and bring it back to use in Malaysia.
Everything is working fine except for SMS.
I am able to send and receive SMS by using the default SMS program. But i can't send out SMS if i use third-party SMS program i.e. GoSms, Handcent SMS.
My phone is not rooted. Details as below:
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: SHV-E120S.EL21.0917.ST
Kernel version: 2.6.355.11-E120S.EL27.1737-CL776986
Build number: GINERBREAD.EL27
Somemore, when i tried to restore the SMS backup from my old phone (I9100) to this SHV-E120S, using GoSms, "SMS to Text", "Backup to Gmail" etc, all the old SMS didn't go into default SMS program, instead, it showed only in GoSms or Handcent SMS.
I'd already done the factory reset but the problem still exists.
Do you guys have any idea on this issue?
Appreciate any help from you. Thanks.
Hi guys I am having the same problem, SHV E120s, test messages with GO SMS pro worked initially, but now i am unable to send regular sized SMS.
Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to fix this, or what the issue is
Thanks!
I have a AT&T I717, but don't like the AT&T ICS since I cannot use tethering with Bell network. I am not sure if there is any chance to install Bell official ICS on it. I tried Kies on download mode, but if I input my sn and model number SGH-I717M, it always pops up an error message. I am not sure if the OTA works. Do you guys have similar experiences? Thanks.

If you have a AT&T i717 chances are you will not get office Bell ICS. There are a few way of getting tethering to work, BTW.
1) Flash official AT&T ICS, use tethering app like FoxFi
2) Flash official AT&T ICS, root it, use hacks such as Ultracfg trick
3) obviously, flash custom ROMs
4) Wait until devs use Canadian ROMs as base*
* P.S. Not seeing that happen soon though since folks already on LF5 or LF6 but Canadian ROMs (at least for Bell) is only on LF4.
You can use TELUS Stock ICS;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771979
There is NO carrier bloat at all on TELUS ICS.
Much appreciated, guys. I will try the Telus ROM first.
After using odlin to flash boot and system, system halts on Telus LTE page.
No idea if it's caused by AT&T modem because I did not flash it yet.
Anyway, go back to AT&T official ROM and use FoxFi now.
I want to turn a Fido/Rogers T589R Galaxy Q (Canadian version of the Samsung T589 Gravity Smart) into a AWS device so I could switch to either Wind Mobility or Mobilicity. To be exact, I just want to flash the radio file (I think the PHONE field in Odin).
I found a link to T589W's firmware. The T589W is the true Canadian version of the T589, i.e. HSDPA 1700/2100, whereas the T589R is HSDPA 850/1900. I know the file amss controls the radio frequencies, but I have also read that this can't be done since the T589 is built with hardware that uses different radio frequency and as such, flashing the T589R with a T589/T589W firmware will do nothing. Is this true? Thanks in advance!
I have a friend who bought an unlocked SIII that supports GSM so he can use it with T-Mobile. However it doesn't have the radios to connect and get 3g or 4g. Will rooting and installing a custom rom or give him this feature? I would think that the hardware supports it but I'm not sure. They do list 3g for AT&T but only 2g for T-Mobile. Here is the phone he bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176412
Does anyone have experience with this?
Flash stock rom with correct modem and CSC for your location .
Custom rom will not have correct modem and CSC in all probability .

I'm trying to flash a TMobile ROM on the i545 to use on TMobile. I have Insane 4.4.4 Hybrid v6 working, but the cell radio is not. I've tried flashing modules (which made the wifi work - I assume that is the module's only function). I have flashed 2 different i545 KK kernels to no effect either. I have it flashed in rom slot 1, should I be overwriting the stock rom slot? I'm running the latest NG6 (came with it updated), but can downgrade to NC5 from my understanding, if needed. I'm not sure what I'm missing to get it working, as I know others have. Thanks.
You don't need to flash a T-mobile ROM, just insert the T-mobile SIM and set the APN.
Edit: just to be clear - the i545 will work on T-mobile, but only on bands that VZ and T-mo have in common.
Flashing some other carrier's ROM won't change what frequencies are supported by the radio hardware.

Thanks. I know this, but I need the wifi calling feature that is only in tmobile ROMs.
