Diff between CDMA and LTE radios:
CDMA for voice and LTE for data.
Flash both if you want to update both.
Diff between CDMA and LTE radio md5's:
A lot of numbers and letters
Your device has 6 radios inside it. 2 cdma and one LTE. The cdma radio serves the radio on the snapdragon. The LTE serves the one on the mdm9600.
Honestly, I think its funny that they are being listed that way.
Being that 3G and LTE are on the same radio, and voice is on another

True.... but what else could you call them? The MSM8655 and MDM9600? I mean, the bootloader at least calls the one the MDM9K.... like anyone would just know what that is if they didn't know the chip models.

Me too, but do you think you get some stupid questions now? I can't imagine how bad it would get if chip numbers became the norm.
another (possibly) stupid question for you specifically, adrynalyne.
the radio downloads you always post in your radio thread (over at team bamf) have both radios rolled into one package, correct? you never link them as two separate downloads, so i assume this is the case.

It doesn't take Adrynalyne to answer that. Yes, his radio posts include both radios as they appear in a given RUU.
Just pre order the Verizon version and I was just wondering how good is the radio and gps signal? I know that some version doesn't have LTE but I think the gps should be the same at least for the US version.

oh thank you I'm in the wrong thread
I have the HTC Evo LTE flashed to Boost with a 3G doner phone (TP2). Been working great.
I now want to flash a One SV or a Boost Force (made by ZTE) to have 4G as part of my service as well.
Would this be possible? With regard to flashing LTE from phones, is that plausible in this case? I have CDMA paid and other tools. I want information before I attempt to tackle this project.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Honestly, your treading open water there, (I'm betting) your not gonna find anyone to offer any input simply because very little to few have even attempted yet...I would have already myself, as I work exclusively with flashing to Boost, but unfortunately, Columbus doesn't have LTE yet. I can tell you though, that the second we get it up and running out here I will dive into it and definitely report back here if no one else hasn't yet.
Would love to hear how it went for you if you try it, a nice tutorial would even be nicer . Good luck with it, either way. BTW, I have heard it is definitely plausible.

I am trying something similar with a note 2 from sprint it has the lte sim card mod on it trying 2 get the lg optimus f7 since it has a sim card on boost for 4g lte.
Besides the LTE do the two phones have anything else different?
Mostly interested if the addition of the LTE on the i9205 will affect its performance/battery life compared to the i9200?
I ask this because I never buy LTE phones, never used it and don't intend to for now since the networks here don't support it,
so no need for it but I cannot find the 3G i9200 anywhere in Europe to buy it. Only the LTE i9205.
If it has no performance/battery loss then I will be "forced" to buy the LTE version and be done with it.
So even if I buy the LTE version I read that it has a second cellular modem that works with normal 3G/GSM networks?
I don't wanna buy it and then discover its not working on any network here.
I will really appreciated if someone can give me an answer to my concerns. Thanks.
UPDATE: I managed to get the 3G version I wanted in first place. You can view the thread below.
Samsung Galaxy Mega! OMG!

The i9205 works with 2G, 3G, and 4G. Your network doesn't have to to be LTE capable for it to work.

YAYYYY!!! Ordering.......... :good:
Ninja Edit: Also another thing. Do you know if since the LTE cannot be disabled if I read correctly,
will eat up battery since it will probably be on and keep searching for LTE networks?

It will not work if the SIM card you insert doesn't support it.

And can you tell us 'where' within the settings menues.....
where we can turn off the LTE so the phone will NOT be constantly searching for it, and draining the battery in the process??
thanks....

I dont have the option in the phone under network mode for LTE should there be a option. I got the phone from Amazon (international version).
I have attached a screen shot of the options available.
I have upgraded to the lattes firmware but still cant get the option.

You may have received the i9200 (which is non LTE)
My i9205 is the LTE international version and I do have those options mentioned above.

Hi jimm
thanks for getting back the model is i9205 I attached a screen shot. Im very sure this is not the 9200 cos the box came sealed and it says i9205. Please assist to get this issue resolved if a a specific version is required to be flashed or how I can check if the phone has the 4g hardware just to make sure.
Thanks

hopefull you'll get a small OTA (Over the Air) update...
if so, it should re-boot...
then maybe you'll get your other options that youre looking for..
I got an update soon after getting my mega months ago..

Hi J,
Thanks for the response, believe it or not i updated it via KEIS and OTA then downloaded the firm ware from the forum and install that as well.
Can u send me a screen shot of the LTE option and about device page.
I really lost as what to do.
Thanks
if the last thing you did was flash a rom.... then i suggest doing another OTA update just to make sure...
ill put on a screenshot as soon as I figure out how to
good luck

Hi J,
Thanks for the pics.
I noticed that the Kernel version is different,
your one is [email protected] #1 My one is [email protected]#1, could this be the reason i dont have the 4g option ?
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Guys,
If I flash the phone (not only the rom) will it help in any way ?

.Im going to suggest that if you want it bad enough...
Get Odin and flash the same rom as me.....problem solved... unless you need specific languages....
youre not saying your location or where you are using it and what carrier
good luck..

Hi J,
I flashed it with about 5 different firmwares using Oden still no luck. I do want it badly knowing i have a 4g phone and no 4g.
Im in Sri lanka using Dialog carrier. I got the phone from states through a friend. I have read the forum from up to down to find a solution.
I know Oden helps you upgrade it (seen on you tube) but still it does not help, I wonder if there is a problem with the software it self.
I would try any suggestions at this time.
Thanks
I wish was a way to convert my At&t m8 to T-mobile m8 if it's possible is their a step by step guide to do so also if the switch can happen I would like everything to work mms sms and LTE to

Wrong section. But anyways, must be S-OFF, change AT&T CID to T-Mobile CID, flash stock T-Mobile RUU, thats it.

Yup, s-off the phone, change CID, and run the T-Mob RUU to "fully convert" it to a T-Mobile version. The hardware is all the same among GSM M8's, so the only thing that will really make it "AT&T" after the conversion is the stupid logo on back.
I won't supply "step by step" instructions, as doing so is spoon-feeding you the information that is readily available on XDA as long as you are willing to do the research and understand all the processes properly. And is you aren't willing to put in the time, you shouldn't attempt potentially damaging mods to your phone.
There is a guide in the "international" M8 forum section on how to convert to any other carrier version. But again, make sure you fully understand what you are doing.
Also, I've reported the thread to mods to get it moved to Q&A section where it belongs.

Hey guys, sorry to resurrect this old thread but the above steps are not sufficient. I have a brand new AT&T m8 trying to convert to t-mobile. I did all the above and when running the T-Mobile RUU it says my device's Model ID is not supported.
Where can I find what MIDs are supported and what to change it to if that's the right fix?

OK I figured it out. Followed this thread to update the MID to 0P6B13000. But that was definitely a necessary step.

You are correct. In my previous post, I neglected to point out the correct MID is required to run any offiical RUU.

Getting very slow speeds on T-Mobile. Checking APN settings...
AT&T M8 on T-Mobile. S-OFF, ran latest T-Mobile RUU. Flashed Android Revolution 41.0.
Using included T-Mobile LTE apn settings: very slow download speeds. Fast upload, calls, SMS + MMS work fine.
What to check? (also see attachments).
really wondering what's going on here as you can see the phone says it's connected to LTE, fast upload, yet crawling download..
WiFI is fast
EDIT: Now I'm thinking the LTE service just sucks in my area.. going to do some more tests in different places. got 5 MB/s down on 3g only setting.

Agree it may probably be a network side issue. I know T-Mob's LTE network is pretty young, so maybe just working out the kinks.
Did you try to test the speed with a completely "stock T-Mob" setup (after the RUU, before flashing any custom ROM) to make sure there isn't some factor in the "Euro" ROM that doesn't play well with T-Mob's network?
Also, try testing at a few other times of day (if you haven't already). I get greatly varying download speeds on LTE. Everywhere from 4 to 31 Mbps, presumably due to network congestion. But mostly above 14 Mbps or so, and obviously nowhere near what you are seeing.
