gsm on stock lollipop update - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

This may be the wrong post area but, has anyone got domestic gsm on the stock lollipop update? I can get into the testmode menus through the keypad or any apps for on phone or computer. I know the root method still works just fine and have done it and my phone is international unlocked.

No.

Just no? Tired it or just saying that?

You would need to flash the MI3 modem
Even then it is still unknown if it'll work

Tired,
If you are all ready UICC unlocked as the GT tools and SSU app doesn't work on lollipop. And you can get the older radio flashed it should work.
Some one reported upgrading to Lopllipop and keeping GSM.

See i tired that and i lost signal all together and then it went into a bootloop when searching for signal.

Tmobile SIM on NEW OTA UPDATE

I was all prepared to root and unlock my bootloader with pudding and CWmod and then I read that no one is having success with the bootloader unlock on the new update 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.US aka 2.3.5. I also saw somewhere (be it wrong or right) that the new update let you use USA sim's in the phone. IDK what to belive. I need this phone to work on tmobile today If anyone has any insight on how to do this please let me know!
Have not heard that about US sims working.

So is there some sort of master code or some crap that sprint or motorola can provide to unlock a device on Domestic Carriers? or am i wasting breath arguing with them about the fact that the phone is capable of working on other domestic service they just arent allowing the software to do it? I mean i know the photon is capable of it it has the hardware. I just dont have the software is there any other way of getting this to work hacked rooted or otherwise and/or bone stock out of the box. Im game for anything here If someone has the beta stuff to test on the new update by all means ill take part.
And did someone try to flash the kddi radio with bootstrap recovery?

I have not can you give me a link to the kddi radio zip please. and you just flash zip from sdcard correct. then what would happen after i put the sim in?
Uh craziest thing just occured!!!! I used the Torpedo root method using the adb shell. I then installed the bootstrap recovery console. I did a backup (thank google) and installed via bootstrap the v17 for locked of your 2.3.5 hybrid deblur (peetr_)....everything seemed to go according to plan. then i rebooted the device. It went into a boot loop at the M logo. finally i had no choice but to go into the motorola recovery console....i did a data reset there and it rebooted fine into YOUR ROM....except now I had no service whatsoever. OMG!!!!!! heart palpatations and sweaty palms ensued!!!!!!!!! oh no i bricked it aggghhhhh!!!!! BUT WAIT I can do an sbf via RSD to get it back from the dead RIGHT? RRRRRR!!!! WRONG ANSWER I had 2.3.5 the most current OTA out there isnt an sbf I've found for it......NOW WHAT WWWWWAAAAIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!! the bootstrap is an application that is coincedentily still on my memory chip!!!!! run bootstrap load up IT'S recovery console and thanks be to google there was my backup i had done at the beginning!!!!! SALVATION AT LAST!!!!!
Any ideas what just happened!???? Cause Im completely lost!!!!!
I have never known the photon to work on tmobile. Some guy on craigslist claimed to have one as soon as i said i want to meet to see he turned his phone off. Im sure if that was possible there would be a article on tmonews and engadget etc

I was going to do this but it doesnt work on the latest OTA so I tried the above and as of now no sucess maybe ill try again this weekend after more research and intel from the devs here hopefully
Side note: Do the captchas have to be put in on every reply this is gonna get old quick!!!
it will work on tmobile (see this thread). The only problem is that most tmobile locations dont have 3G available on 1900mhz, so the photon will only work at 2G. Tmobile is making changes on their network (to be more iphone friendly), and hopes to have their entire network able to do 3G on 1900mhz within a yr.
As part of the company’s previously announced $4 billion network modernization effort, T-Mobile plans to launch 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band in a large number of markets by the end of the year

I purchased my Photon a month and a half back: secondhand from the craiglist ad. for 170 USD in Tampa.
I immideately unlocked and rooted it and flashed KDDI radio since it was only tmobile pay as you go SIM I used for my short vist to US.
It did work on T-Mobile when I was to US: thanks to KDDI Radio - needless to say it was and still is 2.3.4 and I'm stick to it.

No panic
You only flashed my rom? I am not sure, how to activate carrier service on cdma. Maybe some *228? Do you have a sim card? Did you try to flash that kddi radio?
Btw I am glad, that you can read and did not try to flash any older sbf.
it is possible I did a bunch of them for people on craigslist in NYC and Philadelphia. I dont think they had the new OTA though. I have yet to get one with the new OTA.

Yes i only flashed your rom it looked and ran really nice except my Glitch I ran into with signal. I tried a series of those combos in the dialer nothing did anything for me.......I dont have the sim in front of me as of yet i will be attempting it this weekend.........I didnt try to flash the radio.
Are you saying i should just simply try leaving the stock root on and flashing just the KDDI radio from here through bootstrap and see if that will do the trick?
I try to make sure i collect all the data i can before attempting something and I have never personally used rsd to flash so i did some research....im glad i discovered that too!
Yes. I think you can try it and if you won't have any signal or want to go back to cdma, you can just flash 2.3.5sv2 254_12 radio.
But still be ready for the worst!

You tried my rom with the sim card, I guess?

Hey Guys,
Im very new to the whole "Tablet World", I actually just purchased a T-Mobile Springboard via Ebay.
I have not yet recieved the tablet as it should arrive sometime this week, but I have been doing some research so that when it gets
here im not totally in the dark.
It is the 7"model and I believe it currently has HoneyComb installed on it, I would also assume it is locked under the Tmobile Network.
Since I live in Canada I would have to get it unlocked to be able to use it.
OK so here are all my questions...
Where can I get it unlocked, or could I do this myself somehow with software.
I want to install the most recent version of ICS ( I think its 4.0.3), would that require that I root my device?
If so can anyone send me the link to the download and instructions.
Does rooting the device cause any ill side effects? You know with the good comes some bad..lol
I was reading some people were having issues with certain things after the root.
I would love to be able to Text, make phone calls as well as browse..
is this all possible, if so how?
Thanks you guys are the smartest..

OK unlocking. First you will need your new sim. Then pop in the sim and it should bring up the sim unlock menu (it varies between 3.2 and ICS). Then load up tmobiles chat on the web site and ask to unlock the unit. They will unlock the unit as long as its paid off.
For ICS you can down load it directly from H unrooted:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...thod=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0);
FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel)
You can download rooted roms here. they are 99% untouched, im running the OsiMood which just has some stock apps removed, and the charging icon is text instead of a battery.
You shouldnt have any issues with a rooted rom. The only issues are with the cm9,AOKP and the ones with custom kernels.
You can text,talk,data on ICS only, and only if you are not on tmobile. You would have to be on att straitTalk or any other carrier. Tmobile is the only carrier thats says no no to all 3 on a tablet, at least in the usa. Tmobile gives you a choice of text/voice, or data only.
Thanks
Thanks a lot man.. I really appreciate any help I can get, and for you guys to take time out of your day to help someone out is great.
Ok so..it still didnt arrive..(getting impatiant) lol I guess its gotta go through Customs..
hmm.. ok so your saying I can download ICS directly from Huawei, will that work fine since its actually a Springboard and not a MediaPad.
Whats the difference between ICS and ICS rooted? Do I need to root, benifits?Which would be best and why?
If I need to root where are the links for the newest ICS rooted on XDA?
I wouldnt be with Tmobile, since there isnt any in Canada..
I already bought a SIM from Petro Canada Mobility
I was told It was best for cheap plans with unlimited Browsing, the only thing was that for data only applications that run through port 80 would work. The trick was to get a proxy app through Google Play and run all your shiat though port 80.
Makes sense?
Thanks!!
Ya I sent the link to the oem vesion. Tmobile puts their own rom on it and calls it a springboard.
Root gives apps more acess such as backups, or changing ui features.
The 2 latest roms are hwmod and osimood. They are about the same.
Cant help you with the proxy things

I went to the HUAWEI site and why would I go with HUAWEI MediaPad FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel) ?
isnt there even newer ones?
there are like 5 above that one, like HUAWEI MediaPad FIRMWARE(S7-302u,Android4.0,C232B001,General Channel)
whats the difference
and how do i install it
You might want to wait a few days to see if T-Mobile makes good on their promise to push out ICS in an OTA update to the Springboard. You will be able to receive the update over wi-fi no matter which carrier you are running it on. It would save you some hassle in flashing international ROMs. Also I can vouch for the fact that the international ICS ROMs have some radio stability problems on the Springboard hardware - connections may freeze unexpectedly.
In terms of carrier compatibility in Canada:
- In theory the Springboard *should* work on Videotron, Wind and Mobilicity because it has the AWS HSPA band. Mine doesn't and I don't know why. It just won't connect with a WIND or Mobi SIM (haven't tested Videotron). It might be because I flashed an international ROM with a different radio.
- The Springboard has 1900 MHz HSPA but not 850. If you are going to use it on the Rogers network (which includes Rogers, Fido, SpeakOut and all their MVNOs), you will get a 3G/H signal in urban areas where 1900 MHz is used. In many locations though, their 3G service may be only on the 850 MHz band (which the Springboard can't access), in which case it will drop down to EDGE.
- If you try and use it on Bell, Telus or their sub-brands, you will get 3G/HSPA in urban areas, but in locales where the service is only on 850 MHz, you will get no signal at all. Bell/Telus has 3G/HSPA and LTE but no 2G/EDGE, so if you can't pick up the signal, it just drops.
S7-301u,S7-302u,S7-303u are the radio bands not firmware versions. 303u is the t mobile band, most people use the 301u. Just because firmwares came after it doesnt mean they are newer. 2 of the newer ones are just fixes for german and russian versions.
Wait for the offical tmobile version in the next few weeks, or download the version i told you.
To flash is easy:
unzip the file onto the root of your sd card
reboot the spring board
it will run the update, then tell you to remove the sd card
remove sd card
reboot system
either plug the sd card back into the spring board and remove the zip folder, or pop the sd card in a flash card reader and removed the zip folder with a pc
If you reboot the springboard again without removing the zip folder, it will reinstall again.
I just received mine today and want to try ICS. If I flash this FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel) will I be still able to receive the official t-mobile version via OTA? How do I backup the stock rom?
Cant backup the original rom. Cant get the OTA if you flash the factory(non tmobile) ICS rom.
Sorry thats how it rolls. If we are slightly lucky someone will grab the OTA for us flashers and we will be set. Or H will release a 303 firmware to work with all the tmobile channels.

Thanks for the heads up. If I gone ahead and flash FIRMWARE(S7-301u,Android4.0,C232B005,General_Channel) will I still be able to use 4G/3G for tmobile? I understand that I can also use gsm voice/text with this firmware is that correct?
voice/text/data has to do with the carrier. att lets you do it, tmobile wont, its not about the firmware.
In your area you will either flash the 301 or the 302 firmware. They are the same other than what band they run in. They havent comes out with a 303 factory firmware yet.

Ok.. Well I have had the device a couple days now and just been fooling around with it.
Now I would like to get this all in motion.
My question is, If I go with ICS from HUAWEI website, can I still root the device? and do I do that after or before.
and how?
I think I need to root it to run a Proxy program to run everything through port 80, which is what Petro Canada Mobility(Rogers) leaves open on Unlimited Browsing Plan.
Also in the instruction, you said put it in the "root" , what you mean by root, and thats on the micro sd right?

Go to the huawei mediapad root thread on the development section, go to the link in the post number 28 (to modaco). You root it after updating the pad.
wtf
Ok well the Huawei site is F****** useless..
the download is terrible, goes superslow, and then when you try to extract to F: the **** is all corrupted..PDF doesnt work either

This Is starting to really bother me.. I tried like 4 sources and everyone boots and then stops durring update and says FAIL.
WTF?
I have failed once when trying to install a new firmware which turns out to be corrupted download (the firmware was one of those pre-rooted firmware). I also read someone failed many times and turns out the problem is in their sd card. If you have a spare sd card, you probably can try putting the firmware there or if you don't mind formatting your current card then you can also try that.

Ok so here is the update.
I got 301u ICS General up and running, just curious on why I installed 301u over 302u. Which is better for my region (Montreal , QC) would be on Rogers network?
Because I have been having issues getting connected to network, wondering if I maybe installed wrong firmware.
Anyway, next step is to root.
1) Download Huawei MediaPad ROOT ICS Android 4.0.x.rar
2) Connect the tablet to your PC, install the driver.
3) In the settings of the tablet enable debugging by USB .
4) Unpack the archive.
5) Run the Install Root.cmd wait three reboots.
Ok, I downloaded the file to my Laptop, Im just confused on step 4 and 5 so I have stopped until I find out more informaion because I do not want do to it wrong.
"Unpack the Archive"? could someone maybe expand on this limited explanation. Do I extract the file to desktop or directly onto the tablet and same with running Root.cmd where do I run it from?
can someone please maybe explain the steps better then they were, I ve seen better instructions written on a carton of milk on how to open it, then this.

I don't know about the better firmware, but since I'm using 301u pad with 301u firmware I haven't got any problem.
As for rooting.. Step 4 is extracting the file in your pc/desktop. Step 5 is running the install root.cmd while the pad connected to the pc.
please help me.

Xt1511 not getting 5.1 update?

So I just got a new moto e 2nd gen just a few days ago.
Currently running 5.0.2.
Hardware SKU XT1511.
As far as I understand the 5.1 OTA came out a few months ago, correct?
But when I go to the system update, it just says "Your device's software is up to date"
What's going on here? Is there a link to download the ota zip so I can just run adb and flash it myself???
Sent from my MotoE2 using XDA Free mobile app
Same thing happening here, but with XT1526 I live in another region, so I don't know if that has anything to do.
For what it's worth, I live in the USA and purchased this device brand new from best buy just a few days ago.
So yeah, not sure what is going on with the update.
This phone is the 3G version, the retail US model that has LTE connectivity is the one with the 5.1 update.
This phone model has been seemingly neglected by Motorola, this thread in the Motorola Forum has info about the updates of the Moto E 2015, no updates at all for the 3G model
I just purchased the XT1527 LTE model off Amazon for $100 for my grandma to use instead of her crappy ZTE flip phone. She is on my aunt's AT&T 60GB plan for her small business and when the phone first arrived, I signed into her Google account and got everything setup but when I tried to pull the 5.1 update, it wasn't getting it yet and said it was already up-to-date with 5.0.2.
Later that day we finally went to the AT&T store to get a SIM put in it and her number transferred over, but still, no 5.1 update for it yet.
Does anyone know why my XT1527 model can't pull the update yet? I thought for sure it would have been able to pull it when I first turned it on, before even getting the SIM for it.
Is there anyway for me to manually install the OTA without unlocking the bootloader or flashing TWRP or are we just stuck waiting?

Same thing here. I'm not getting 5.1 or any other update. XT1527 from Amazon. System version is 22.36.1.surnia_retus.retus.en.US Build LXI22.50-24.1.
Kernel is dated Feb 7 2015. Does anybody know why this is happening? Sorry to bump an old thread but I firmly believe this is relevant today.
By the way, I contacted Motorola support but they gave me a nonsense answer (i.e. that my phone is fine as it is with no 5.1.)
I have the XT1528 model and it says I have 5.1, but my phone still seems to be affected by stagefright 2.0. I assumed that 5.1 would fix that problem, but I am worried Motorola isnt even going to fix the issue.
That guy earlier said look at the link to see who is getting the 5.1 update rollup.
Don't expect to get it if your not only the list.
Also i seen myself that there was more than 1 stage fright update for 5.0.2
because there was more versions of the exploit that needed to be patched as time went on.
SO there was separate stage-fright updates for 5.0.2 and 5.1 respectively.
in other words you did not have to have 5.1 installed to get stage fright patched with an update.
They probably did that because they know most carriers are not pushing out 5.1 to their customers.
Which leads me to my next point..
It's not up to Motorola..
They can offer the update to any specific carrier but it's up to the carrier to decide if it is rolled out to customers.
It's been a long time now and most carriers did not get the 5.1 update.
It is doubtful i think anyone new is going on that list of who gets it.
For example my carrier in Canada Telus never rolled it out.
I had to get a stock firmware package for another carrier for 5.1 and put it on myself.
I chose to use the generic USA Retail Firmware package.
All has worked well but my phone model is suppose to be using LTE/cdma (surnia_umts)
But i have struggled to get it back on cdma.. with nobody out there with any suggestions on how to fix it.
Had i not tried to switch it over manually to GSM after install i would have given up.
Luckily my Carrier Telus supports CDMA and GSM.
I only found 1 guy who left a comment i seen way back saying he fixed his radio issue
by having his stock 5.0.2 Radio left intact then flashing all else to update.
That did not do me any good.. i have tried many variations with no difference.
I can confirm i was getting a new recent stage fright update OTA prmpt.
And there was a new updated firmware package shared recently that included this newer update.
I installed it and used a Stagefright checker App that scanned for about 10 variations of the exploit
and my phone was reported by the app as safe. (patched)
This version was just recently put on the web by someone..

My phone is on that list but it's not getting the 5.1 OTA.
xpmule said:
in other words you did not have to have 5.1 installed to get stage fright patched with an update.
They probably did that because they know most carriers are not pushing out 5.1 to their customers.
Which leads me to my next point..
It's not up to Motorola..
They can offer the update to any specific carrier but it's up to the carrier to decide if it is rolled out to customers.

It's not getting Stagefright patches either. Regarding the carrier, XT1527 is factory unlocked, which means it's not tied to a specific carrier.
Motorola should provide the updates since they say they do have a 5.1 update on their support site.

I had to get a stock firmware package for another carrier for 5.1 and put it on myself.
All has worked well but my phone model is suppose to be using LTE/cdma (surnia_umts)
But i have struggled to get it back on cdma.. with nobody out there with any suggestions on how to fix it.

Did you try with 4G LTE Switch app? Its ID is com.tapbase.LTEswitcher

I can confirm i was getting a new recent stage fright update OTA prmpt.
And there was a new updated firmware package shared recently that included this newer update.
XT1527_SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-18.9_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
It has this OTA patch update integrated..
Blur_Version.23.11.15.surnia_retus.retus.en.US

Interesting. Do you know if I can do this update to my phone without unlocking the bootloader? I don't want to void the warranty.

Don't count on what i am saying i am a noob eh..
But yeah i think you can just flash that version i did.
Even if your bootloader is locked.
From the sounds of it i think that firmware i used on my Telus carrier phone
was actually originally intended for YOUR phone !
And 4G LTE Switch app?
Hmm no i have not seen that.. i should check it out thanks.

I checked out that APP and all it does is open the settings menu for you.
You can just use the dialer instead..
*#*#INFO#*#*
That gives the same thing as that APP
I also have found it to be -read only- on my phone.
So if you change the option it actually doesn't work.
If you REALLY want to change it for real you have to use an alternate method such as..
connect with ADB using your computer.
then use this command..
Code:
adb shell
settings put global preferred_network_mode 9
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9
Note: That will force LTE/GSM (auto PRL)
you don't need root to do that in the cmd prompt either.
and most guys out there say do another cmd line..
Code:
settings put global preferred_network_mode2 9
But i had checked and that line did not exist so i doubt adding it will do anything.
Change those lines to "get" and look at the value currently set before changing them.
When i ran the 3rd line it said that key does not exist.
Also the number 9 is LTE/GSM (auto PRL)
SO if you use that dialer command or that app you can count down the drop down list
to see what option is what number (to force it via command line)
For example..
no. 8 is..
LTE/cdma (auto PRL)

Don't worry, I'm a noob too, just trying to read a lot before doing anything.
I checked my phone and everything matches to this ROM:
SURNIA_RETUS_5.0.2_LXI22.50-24.1_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I also installed CID Getter for further confirmation and ro.boot.cid is 0x9 (i.e. CID9.)
Which ROM I should flash to my phone:
the older SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-15_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
or the newer XT1527_SURNIA_RETUS_5.1_LPI23.29-18.9_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip ?
Does the last one contain Stagefright patches?
My main concern is -if I'm not mistaken- that either one should be 100% official Motorola or it won't flash with a locked bootloader.

I see. I thought it could work for you, but at least you know a workaround. Thanks for sharing.

[Firmware] G930U - QD2 Android 7.0 for G930A (5/8/2017)

You may need to use Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy
- G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_ATT.zip
Thanks a bunch! I've been trying to download it with no success
Thank you. Time to tinker again...haha
Yeah I'm gonna get this rooted and hopefully get some performance back after UPDATE: i rooted successfully but after i tried to fix the fingerprint sensor issue my phone would only boot to recovery and download mode so i flashed to stock
It turns out that when I flashed those files it kept trying to activate my phone on the sprint network instead of att and also it made my settings go wonky so I'm downloading the u firmware with the att product code again because it messed it all up
Just a heads up, I was unable to get the EngBoot Kernel working on this ROM. It would reboot on its own every 2-3 minutes. I spent about 6 hours on this until I gave up and flashed the ATT ROM and then EngBoot. That worked just fine (except for the performance issues).

Can you link to ATT Nougat EngBoot rom? I wanted to upgrade to Nougat, wipe, and then get Nougat EngBoot rom on their, but I don't want to use Sprint or whatever that other carrier was. (Prefer to use ATT on ATT devices, ya know?)
Hey I finally was able to get my phone working right I forgot to flash the csc

Hey can you get the usc product code version for me I have tried to download that specific version but it always corrupts itself and i could only use this version but I had my phone unlocked which means I need a different version so that I can detect my sim card and hopefully set the apn settings acordingly

Ok I just want to make sure I'm not going crazy over this so thanks
If I'm using a G930T but using Cricket at my carrier should I flash this or.the TMO variant that you posted in the T-Mobile S7 forum?

I don't know if it will make any difference but I would try the t-mo version to match your device.
Help!!! I went ahead and flashed the TMO version of the 930u code. I downloaded the ZIP. Placed all the right files in the correct place in Odin (comsey odin) and finished the process. The phone didn't reboot even though reboot was checked. Now I'm in a boot loop. Help!!
Update:. For it to work after flashing a second time. Not sure what happened the first time.

Sprint to Tmo

Hi XDA haven't been on here for a while.
So I have a question I was given a S9+ from Sprint it's unlocked I'm currently using it on TMO but I don't have wifi calling nor video calling. I wanted to see if it was possible to flash a TMO firmware. Since it's still on July's patch here's a screen shoot of current firmware.
I moved from Sprint to Tmo, and just put in the sim and then updated the firmware through the system update interface. All works as expected.
The difference may (or may not) be, if the phone was unlocked by Sprint or by another method. My wife's phone was unlocked via "another method" and cannot get it to update system software. I haven't bothered looking into it further though, as we don't expect to keep the S9+ too much longer.

Yes mine was unlocked different method so it won't update normally.
That's why I asked if I could cross flash to TMO

If you figure it out, let us know. I'd be interested in giving it a go.

if your phone is unlocked via whatever method, it wont interfere with system updates. OTAs will happen at regular intervals based on the firmware flashed on the phone and the recovery status. Stock recovery means that youll get OTAs, if youre not, its likely a glitch and has nothing to do with the unlock status.
If youre looking to get your phone working on tmob and its a spr phone, all you really need to do is unlock it, put the new sim in it and configure the APN. If you want full features like voLTE and wifi calling, then youll need to flash a tmob firmware version on your phone which requires the patched version of Odin. I have a Cricket branded (originally, at least) S9 and i flashed the U1 firmware on it via patched Odin and the phone now thinks its a factory unlocked S9, as i also unlocked it via "alternative methods". Perfectly seamless transition and i get OTAs all the time
