Hi,
Well, I know that this is na old phone, but let's try to fix...
I have a Samsung SGH-T589 (Gravity Smart), originally from T-Mobile, but now unlocked. Since I'm in Brazil, tha 3G connection doesn't work. After some (and for some I mean months) time of research, I figured out that T-Mobile Works on a diferent 3G frequency than brazilian ops. But, I've also figured out that maybe (and just maybe) could be possible fix this by flashing the SGH-T589W (Gravity Smart/Galaxy Q) or SGH-T589R firmware on this phone. There were no problems related until now... but I'm having trouble to find this firmware. Tryied Samfirmware, Sampro, and many others...
Anyone have this file or I should just retire this phone once and forever?
Thanks everyone.

Well, it wouldn't be helped by the t589W because that also uses the weird 1700/2100 AWS bands for 3G service. The R would be the way to go, if it were possible, but even if it did flash successfully, the phone still has a hardware limitation where it just doesn't support other bands, despite what radio/modem you could install.
If you wanna try though, just for the heck of it (at your OWN risk - I do not think this will work. Not likely to hard brick it, but will probably need to restock with the correct firmware if it fails):

And you'll want the official firmware flashing Odin version for the phone, because for some reason it doesn't work with the regular Odin ones:

My phone only works on EDGE and now I've found why...
This model uses 3G over the 1700/1900 Mhz ... All operators in Brazil works with 3G over 850/2100 Mhz...
So, no luck for me...
Now, I'll try to swap this phone on eBay or something like...
If you know someone who wanna change a phone, please tell me...hehehehe.
Thanks for everything! Now I can sleep in Peace....

Hi all i have returned to the android scene from IOS trying to work out a means of downloadong the factory/carrier Firmwares i remember from when i had a i9000
It was possible to force kies to download the releasle from Samsung with the spoofer tool despite googling for two days straight and trwaling thru the forums i have not been.able to find a means or even of a download of the. firmware im wondering about
Galaxy S 2 running 2.3.3 gingerbread
PDA: I9100TDOKH1
PHONE: I9100TDOKG2
CSC: I9100TTNZKH1
Im presently dubious about attempting to attain root on this device if i cannot get kies to flash it back to stock rom or even.maintain a copy of this rom
any heads up or advice where to move forwards.
Im hoping the carrier soon releases the 2.3.4 update shortly... failing that i will just debrand with another 9100T rom
cheers any advice for the next move would be great!
I would suggest asking Intratech for it in his carrier-branded firmware thread in the development section. The Voda firmware is listed, so TCNZ's shouldn't be too hard for the man to track down.

Keep trying on fus.nanzen.se. Finally it will hopefully give a response. I have added it to the preset list even though it's not giving a response atm.
I'd be quite interested in a dump of your stock Telecom /system/csc/ folder if that'd be possible?

Wow on further inspection... thats what i call a Awesome/Innovative Tool!
Nice work man!
I think it may come available soon
I think Telecom only released their branded handsets in the last 6 days.. so perhaps the Firmware will come available soon..
Failing that maybe the 2.3.4 update will be what comes available (if ever)
Perhaps a debrand is inorder...
It sounds like Telecom have fairly heavily modified the firmware which is going to make future updates very slow. By comparison Vodafone left it almost completely stock-standard.

Yes you should flash a stock ROM or AOSP ROM. Flashing doesn't void warranties these days. You can reset your download count using what's called a USB jig aka resistor, So when you break it you can just reflash a stock rom reset the download count an Samsung will never know any better.

Any 2.3.4 Stock/AOSP Roms you reccomend for the I9100T
I was going to root first so I could suck all the CSC , efs etc etc out of the phone
and then go for DarkyRom2 but not sure
With regards to wiping the counter i thought there was a second counter that cant be wiped yet!

If you do flash a firmware and you want a JIG to reset it then I've got one you can borrow if you're around Wellington. Otherwise I think mine was about $12 including postage off eBay.

Here's an email I received after asking Telecom if they supported it in July (originally posted on Geekzone):
Thank you for your email query and we apologise for the late response, as this needed to come from our network team. Please find their response below:
"No we currently do not have NCFD feature enabled. Because only the handset benefits from Fast Dormancy for battery life purposes. In fast dormancy the handset notifies the network to release the air interface so it’s put into IDLE state much quicker than going through to Cell-FACH and finally to Idle. This can cause much more signaling on the network between the RNC, NodeB and mobile device which (increase in signaling load) can lead to congestion.
We have a number of features on the network that can work with Fast Dormancy and not cause a large increase in signaling load, however there is no current ETA for deployment."
Should you require any further assistance please email or call 0800550120 or *120, we would be happy to assist.

I've used many different modems (probably all of them to be honest), but am quite happy with the KI3 one at the moment. It's giving me no issues as far as XT's network goes, but I don't travel a lot so am not really a good judge. It does give me more range with Wifi though, something I have had issues with on other modems.
No idea on stock firmware. Has Intratech posted a link? He finds most of them.
Hi! Are baseband frequencies hardware determined? I mean, I'd like to flash a new modem on mi SGA so I can get the 3G to work cuz the carriers basebands here are different than where I bought the phone... Is that possible to do by flashing a new modem or em' I just stuck with 2G connectivity only? Would really appreciate facts and not just suppositions on the response! Thanks in advance, cheers.-
PS.: I've posted this cause I've already tried flashing several modems and couldn't get any positive result!
There's no such thing as "broadband frequencies" as far as i know.And,having another modem would not do anything to your phone.Myself,I have a European modem and i have been to 2 countries with it,no problem,just as an examppe

The basebands are just software .
What you're facing is a hardware problem .
I'm sorry , but you're going to have 2G only unless you get a phone that supports those frequencies or migrate overseas

There are GSM,CDMA,UMTS frequencies, stock firmware is pre-configurated to one of those depending on your region(for expample Asia uses CDMA), however if your on CM u can change them.
If your using stock then only use firmware form your region when you have cell problems.
CyanogenMod 7 lets you be able to change between GSM and UMTS(called WCDMA in settings) in network preferences
CyanogenMod 9 ets you be able to change between GSM, UMTS, and CDMA in network preferences.
However some stock firmwares (Asia's and India's) allow you to change these settings as well.

Hey guys Long time creeper first time poster.
Anyways i picked up a galaxy note yesterday that was bricked for about $175. The guy had soft bricked it recovery and download were still accessible so i simply used odin to reinstall stock rogers from Da_G's thread. The guy said he bricked it because he had a JB rom on there and wanted to go back to stock but odin froze and thats how the system bricked.
Anyways right now i have the system working and running Stock ICS from Rogers. The current issue i am facing is that there is some sort of issue with the signal. The device jumps between Virgin mobile(my provide) and emergency only. Constantly i cannot get a reliable signal on the phone. Calls constantly fail and messages rarely send.
I have tried flashing the stock radio for rogers from Da_G's thread as well but no luck. The apn is correct and ive tried turning LTE off, no success at all. Does anyone in the community have any suggestions this is a really frustrating problem!
Thanks

Flash another ROM on it. And keep in mind, it was sold to you as a brick. Maybe it also had the radio issue before you got it.

So my aunt has am AT&T Galaxy Note on T-Mobile and I told the store she purchased the phone from to flash the T-Mobile radios so that she can get 4G HSPA+ but the device is stuck on gingerbread and I would really like to update it to stock Jellybean with Touchwiz? If I use Odin to flash the latest update will she lose her unlock? But then will it need to be unlocked now that T-Mobile has 4G LTE in Las Vegas? I figured all she would need to do is buy a new T-Mobile 4G LTE compatible SIM and then use that but I'm not sure. Can the new firmware be rooted and can it be unlocked if need be? Also, she broke the mirco-usb port so is there any way that I can flash to stock without the use of that port? I'm really sorry for all the questions but if anyone could answer them I would be very grateful.
If the usb port is broken, you won't be able to use Odin. Is the device rooted? If it is there is hope! If not, you're up the river without a paddle.

I know right but luckily the device is rooted and because the shop said they flashed the T-Mobile radios, I believe it has a custom recovery on it.
Whew! I'm glad to hear you're already rooted. You can forget about Odin now. Flashing roms ands modems thru recovery won't lose your unlocked SIM info. First thing I would do is update your recovery. Then you can flash a new JB rom. A lot of newer roms depend on TWRP recovery. You can find that here in the original android development section. Read carefully and follow the install via .zip way. Since you're on tmobile I'd read the post just before this one about JB and what modems are working best. I'm on at&t so I can't help you there. They also remark on what roms they are running. You can follow their lead, or check out all three available roms in the development selection. Again read the developers directions, and make sure the rom is for your device before you flash anything. Then enjoy!
I didn't see any mention of having installed a custom recovery. If the OP hasn't done that he can still update to the latest stock rom using Kies Air. He can get that from the app store.
Being rooted has nothing to do with any of this. Rom flashing only depends on having 1) a pc with Odin and a working usb port, or 2)having a custom recovery already installed.
Flashing a custom rom won't affect the radio you already have, but if you update to the JB stock rom it will flash the current baseband (modem).
Unlocking is permanent. No flashing can change that phone back to a locked state.
Yes, you need a 4G LTE sim card, but under even best conditions you will mostly see 4G only (HSPA+ ).
I might be wrong, but to use T-Mobile's LTE you have to use a stock AT&T Rom. I'm in Houston and we just got LTE here.

You can use your choice of stock or custom roms with LTE.
UCLF6, UCMB4, UCMD3 can all be used under ICS, JB custom roms. 4.0.4, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 or the likes. Cyanogenmod, paranoid, slim, padawan, it doesn't matter.
On anything but stock samsung you can *#*#4636#*#* into dialer then phone options to change between lte and wcdma or all. Also available under settings/mobile network/preference.
Those are the 3 most current modems with access to LTE. UCLF6 being from the official ICS last year.

I don't think there is a dependence on which recovery you use but more of a recommendation. I've flashed many ROMs with CWM that the developer recommended using TWRP and they worked just fine. So, long as you do the procedure right, it doesn't matter what recovery you use.

I flashed it on my G930T (on AT&T's network) after running Tmo's 7.0 version for months. I found Tmo's version full of bugs which were all resolved after flashing this AT&T build. This seems to be a very solid build.

Great to hear, thanks again.
Thanks for the upload!!! I wanted to switch my phone to the Verizon firmware but wanted to make sure I could first get back to the latest AT&T firmware just in case. I was able to flash this over my existing AT&T firmware just as a test and indeed it's the same version which is also the latest as of today (4/17/2017). It wipes your data of course but I used Samsung Switch to backup everything up first and worse case scenario I just setup all my apps again just takes extra time.
UPDATE: I needed to use moded Odin to flash the latest Verizon firmware from updato.com after flashing the firmware posted here due to the SHA256 error. After I used the moded Odin from the XDA post below it worked fine.

Thanks for this! Flashed this last night with no problems.
AT&T to Verizon to AT&T
Just in case anyone is curious like I was about switching their Galaxy S7 to Verizon from an AT&T model like I did (and why I looked for this firmware) it works well. You can flash the latest firmware from updato.com for the SM-G930V on top of the stock SM-G930A and it works perfectly. It will wipe your data but that's to be expected. In the end coverage was not good at my house so I switched back to AT&T. It wasn't the phone or the firmware though because my mom's brand new Verizon iPhone almost had worst coverage than I did. At work I got pretty decent coverage and decent speeds on Verizon. Also using LTE discovery I verified it was connecting to bands the AT&T phone was not suppose to have. I was able to use this image to flash back to AT&T in the end and had everything working like before. Samsung switch doesn't backup stuff that well and in the end I just factory reset again and restored from a Google backup. Still required some app setup, but in the end it works just as before and again getting the AT&T only bands. Thanks again for posting this very useful image.
