Hi guys,
I'm new to all this so bear with me...
Is it possible to flash the radio on the dna to make the LTE capability work for the Rogers network?
I bought one a while ago, and I ended up selling it because LTE didn't work, and so some people are saying that it might be possible, is this true? I really love the phone so I hope so...
I'm pretty sure we can't even flash radios without s off
But even if we could, it is a hardware thing, not software. The phones hardware only supports Verizon's LTE bands, no way to change that.

Hey,
As far as i know, verizon and rogers use the same 700 mhz network band, but i believe verizon is using CDMA and rogers SIM, So i guess there is no way to do it?

Is anyone here using their Atrix 4G unlocked on T-Mobile or anyone other carrier which is not AT&T?
I unlocked it with a tmob sim last night. Noticed I did not get bars with it though

im using mines and works great
I have used mine with three different carriers and no problems (US, UK, SP).
I use Simple Mobile. Does anyone know of another carrier in the U.S that could provide 4g speeds with AT&T bands?
I just gave away my spare atrix to my wife's friend. She's on T-Mobile and hasn't had any problems yet. I did warn her she's on 2g forever and ever.

Yea I use T-Mobile... I got more bars with the Atrix than I got with my last T-Mobile phone lmao... I use prepaid so 2g-4g doesn't affect me...
how can I get it to run 4G on T-mobile?

It will always be slow since its on 2g, nothing you can do.
Why aren't there laws that make it so cell phones are all interchangeable? Something like consumer freedom so you can buy any phone you want and use it on the carrier of your choice.
Use straight talk. Hspa compatible.

Actually, T-Mobile has said they're going to start adopting AT&T's 3G bands with the hope that Apple will let them sell subsidized iPhones. So depending on where you live, you may get 3G on the Atrix. I agree though, more interoperability is needed. This GSM/CDMA split we have is ridiculous.
I'm not using T-Mobile right now, but in a year (when my contract expires) I'm switching to one of their value plans and will unlocking my Atrix to use with them if I'm still happy with it. Given that so far the only spec I see improving on newer phones is the screen resolution, I think it'll still be plenty usable when that happens.

I love rezound very much, but you won't get a phone that you can not call and using internet. I'm with Vodafone AU, and the phone works for Verizon with LTE 4G.
Are there anyway to make it work with WCDMA? Any way to unlock or hack it?
Big thanks! Please help me become one of Rezounders in the future!
I want to help you ，but I dont know how to do ...

I'm not an expert or a dev, but I know for sure that we can't do much at all in the way of hacking until s-off is achieved. Furthermore, I could be wrong but I don't think the rezound supports wcdma.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The Rezound only operates on the CDMA2000 and LTE standards on top of operating only at specific bands.
Despite the similar name, WCDMA is not the same as "CDMA" - it is a GSM variant and is therefore not compatible with the Rezound, as the Rezound does not support nor contain a radio for that standard.
so then what is the diff between;
lte/voice
lte global
lte/cdma(auto)
I'm in a spot where Verizon says isn't the best coverage; although I'm constantly between 2-3 lte bars. is one superior than others

I had 3g goin while talking on the phone.....if that helps....
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
No, this phone can not be used as a world phone. You will be unable to use it on either CDMA or LTE. Not to mention, you have to have a Verizon LTE SIM to program the phone.
Next time, search! The answers to all these simple questions are in the forum.
Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to android stuff, so bear with me .
About a week back I bought this Motorola Photon 4g for Sprint off craigslist and used the kddi radii trick to make it work on GSM networks, namely T-Mobile. Right now imeon the hybrid 2.3.5 rom, but even when I was in the stock sprint rom, the carrier name randomly shows up as T-Mobil instead of T-Mobile. Is there any way to fix this other than spoofing the carrier name? Thanks for the help!
From what I know, the name is stored in SIM card, try to replace it with carrier.
Thanks, I'll try that. I'm actually planning on doing that soon anyway . The strange thing is it sometimes shows the full name T-Mobile, I'm still trying to figure that out haha

Where is the trick?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
My phone does this too, I'm not sure why. To me it seems like it says 'T-Mobil' when signal is pretty weak, but i have overall weak signal in my apartment so it could just be me making a bad guess.
same thing
i also have the same thing, but i haven't noticed it till you have mention it.
i guess it belongs to 2G/3G. coz when you are having connected to 2G it tells you T-mobil
while when you are connected to 3G it tells you T-mobile.
pleas tell me if i'm right
Can you not get tmobiles 4g or is it because bootloader is unlocked?

Tmobiles 4g is HSPA+ which is technically 3g
Jellybean Poppin MoPho
You guys must be in the refarm area cause the 3g frequencies are the same as the iPhone's. I'm still waiting on that . Btw I got a new SIM and it hasn't said T-mobil yet so maybe it's just a certain kind of sim that does it?

Hey everyone, I just purchased a used Verizon HTC Rezound off eBay and am following the instructions laid out in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
I've tried the various options: GSM only, WCDMA only, WCDMA preferred, etc. with no luck thus far. Does anyone know if this is not compatible with Bell's network? I've seen others who've successfully used this phone on Rogers and Fido here in Canada. Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
What bands does Bell use? You should be able to get 2g on the very least.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think my worst fears have been confirmed. I just tried my brother's Rogers sim in the phone and it worked immediately. It's very likely that Bell's frequency bands are not supported by this device.

As long as its a gsm network, you should be able to get 2g/edge on the very least.
Make sure to plug in the back door cover though, the gsm antenna is there.

Thanks for the tip, but I do believe incompatible Bell frequency band is the issue. It's unfortunate, but that's the risk I took when I bought it.

Hello all,
I have an att one that I've sim unlocked to use with tmobile. Now I want it to run like a tmobile phone. Would I have to unlock bootloader from HTCdev then flash cwm then flash a rooted stock rom? Now what about flashing a tmobile radio? Can I just flash that on top for it to be better optimized for tmobile frequency? And when should I S-Off through this whole process? Thanks for all the help

Got what? No one has yet gotten the AWS frequencies on their non T-mobile phone. What exactly did you have as results?
The ATT model by default only gets the HSPA 1900 band or LTE on T-Mobile (plus edge, of course). What it is missing is the high speed 4G T-Mobile only AWS band.
EDIT: One does not need to flash TMO to use the phone on 1900 or LTE.

Not currently. As I said, a lot of people are interested and are working on it. But just flashing the radio will not work.

What about the opposite way around? Tmo radio on att? I just wanna be sure my phone is optimized for tmobile signals. I'm already on a refarmed market. Does it even matter?
