Hi all,
I got my sprint Moto E a few weeks ago. Its working international, but the problem is that its locked to 2G only.
I think its the radio that is locked.
I had a smilar issue with my HTC one E8 sprint when it was updated to Lollipop where the #G part of the radio was disabled. I used this method here to unlock the UMTS900/UMTS2100 portion.
to do this with the Moto E, I need the SPC code to program the baseband. I have had little success with the SPC. If anyone can assist, maybe we can make it a global phone

If the spc code was obtained, would following those steps allow it to be used with any carrier?
The spc code is unique to each phone. If I can get spc code for the device I currently have, a solution is possible

Here is how i got my msl: i called my provider and asked them, when they asked why, i told them it was for development purposes.
Unfortunately, I am outside the US, so I cannot call sprint

did you have to do anything to get it sim unlocked internationally or did it work out of box?

can you let know if you had to do something special to get it unlocked for gsm use internationally or is it unlocked out of the box.
Also would you recommend this phone or lumia 640?
You have to change the network mode to automatic in the settings instead of 4G/cdma

Based on my experience with this phone, (Moto E 2015 Surnia xt1526,) I think that the lock on this thing is in the modem. Im not 100 percent sure though.

I haven't been around here long enough to have come across it - do you know if the modem files are typically flashed with ROMs on this device? If so, can we swap out modems between custom builds with little or no issues? I don't recall seeing a modems thread, so I'm assuming they aren't typically flashed separately.
I still don't plan to get a CDMA sim card, but I do have sim adapters coming, so I can see what I can get working with my AT&T sim.
Maybe I will be chasing LTE issues after all - really having fun messing with this device.

I know that it does use modems, as far as I'm aware, it has 2 parts, fsg and the Helios h.bin thing. As for switching them out in a custom build, I'm probably going to test it.

OK, those are both new to me (this is my first Moto smart phone) but gives me a place to start looking. Sounds like from what you said that all these ROMs include modems (some devices I've been on ROMs typically did not, modems were flashed separately as needed).
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
Custom ROMs do not come with their own modem's, they utilize the modem that was present in stock before you flashed. The carrier lock is definitely in the modem though

OK thanks, that's the info I was looking for. Still haven't had time to dig into older info/posts - are you aware of any discussion regarding modem changes? Are we capable of flashing modems separately? Has anyone compiled a list of modem firmwares?

If I might add, i am wondering if we could flash a modem from the us retail version or other and maybe remove the lock? I don't know if it would work, but there is always a small chance it might. Another option might be to have someone on a gsm variant to pull the modem files and maybe we could flash that in fastboot? I don't know for certain, but i think it might work. If it doesn't, then the lock must be elsewhere.

Do the GSM variants have hardware support for the same radio bands as the CDMA models? If not, I'd guess flashing GSM radio on CDMA device won't be a good idea

Hi guys,
I am using 77.30P radio in Brazil and having problems with the signal, the carriers here are a mess, the same carrier uses from 850mhz to 2100mhz...
My question is, what basebandd (radio) can i flash which uses all those frequencies?
If someone can help me out by pointing the know frequencies for the most common radios available it would be of great help!
Thanks in advance
All AT&T radios can use UMTS (3G) 850 and 2100 if I recall correctly.

Google what bands does AT&T use for 3G. But as I said, I think it's 850 and 2100.
AT&T uses the 850 and 1900 bands for 3G. As for the radio version, use the one that came with your phone. The atrix supports W-CDMA 850/1900/2100 for the AT&T version but mine in addition to those listed above, supports the 900 band as printed on the box.
... In the AT&T and International versions of the Atrix... why can we not enable HSPA/UMTS on 900MHz through flashing radios or other software means?
Edit: Phone is an unlocked AT&T version on O2 UK with O2 sim.
Because the 900MHz band that the Atrix uses is part of the quad-band GSM, which is 2G/EDGE, not UMTS. Those are two different standards.

But the international supports UMTS/WCDMA/3G/3.5/HSDPA/HSPA/HSPA+ on 900mhz going by all of the spec sheets I read.
UTMS is 3G. HSDPA is 3.5. A standard of WCDMA. HSPA is another WCDMA standard which again is a 3G Technology (3.7G?)... Either way they all come off the same 3G cell

I don't know about the other bands but you specifically mentioned the 900MHz band so that was what I was talking about.
More than likely the carriers have locked the radios and/or hardware. It's like other carrier's world phones will not work on AT&T/T-mobile, even though they technically can support those bands.

There doesn't seem to be any logic to why other than software as the radios taken out of all firmwares work on both versions. The only logical answer is software (if I could SBF flash a UK firmware, not CWM that would help, but there was other differences with the mainboard right?), or its the same chip just slightly modified without that band included.
I was mooching around system folders trying to find anything that could give me a clue, but to no avail.
I think it has something to do with what module is used, which is a hardware component. I know the AT&T Atrix uses the Qualcomm MDM6200 but I have no idea what other versions use.
I might be wrong though.

Indeed, so logic would say that if we flash international radios for a different module (if they are different) would soft brick the phone or cause the phone to no get any kind of reception what so ever.
I do find the international radios and att radios (other than the stock and 1.87) make the H+ signal level not go over 1 bar.
I'm not sure about bricking the device but I know they usually have those radios locked down pretty good which is why most people need to buy unlock codes or get their carrier to unlock their phones for them. It's not very common that end users can crack them.

SIM Lock and Radio locks are two completely different things. SIM locks are easy to break with a £10 note and a guy with some device, a radio lock is more difficult we dunno if its hardware or software.
Has anyone got an international/uk/europe Atrix that they'd kindly tear to pieces to see if its the same cellular modem?
I am curious..
I bought a SGS2 i9100 (international)
the site i bought it from says
Wireless RadioGSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
UMTS 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz
Now.. i have a HTC panache (mt4g) that is on my carrier... and it says
AWS 1700, 2100 MHz (Bands I et IV)
IS THERE A MODEM I CAN FLASH FOR MY SGS2 that would work on my HTC panache carrier?
OK. Let's try this again...
Finding a modem that works well with your carrier & it's network with the SGS2 can be a bit of trial & error. Basically if the modem you're currently using is giving you lousy coverage/data speeds, start flashing/testing modems until you find one that works for you. Here's a link to a bunch of CWM flashable I9100 modems you can try to get you started. Do a Google search with XDA appended to your search terms & you should be able to dig up heaps of posts that link to others you can download/try.
Well it seems like i do have a australia modem (BUKI1)
When i put my SIM card from my HTC phone.. The SGS2 automaticly goes into roaming and doesn't detect the non roaming carrier..
By the way I'm in canada.
IT ALSO SEES THE APN for my HTC phone carrier when i put the sim card.. but goes straight to roaming

It can only detect a carrier on auto if the CSC has the carriers settings .

Is your network T-Mobile USA? (I'm guessing yes since you've also got a MyTouch4G?)
The phone does not have the necessary radio hardware to receive 1700 mhz. Which is one of the bands necessary for AWS. So nothing better than Edge on T-Mobile USA.
No amount of modem flash is ever going to fix a hardware limitation.
Edit: Oh, I see from one of your posts above you're in Canada, so you're NOT on T-Mobile USA. BUT everything I said is still valid. If you're trying to get the phone to receive 1700 mhz, you won't have a lot of luck without some major phone surgery involving a hardware antenna engineer, as stated in the link provided to you by oinkylicious.
Hi forum. I currently have Verizon service and am considering this phone. I asked a Verizon employee about using it on T-Mobile and she said it wouldn't work. Looking at frequencycheck.com I see the following supported bands:

I see that it supports the same bands as T-Mobile version ( model H901 ) and I understand that it is carrier unlocked so why wouldn't it work if I used a T-Mobile SIM ?

She lied.
It will work fine out of the box since VZW phones come factory unlocked. Just no VoLTE/Wifi calling obviously. Band 2/4/12 is what T-mobile uses for LTE so if you have those then you are set.

No offense to them, but I doubt the majority of in-store sales associates have knowledge of frequency bands between carriers. They are likely told to tell customers that the phones won't work if they just intend to take it to another carrier (but there is some truth to that, my old Verizon Galaxy S4 didn't get 4G or MMS on AT&T, but recent phones appear to be more uniform). But anyway, like you said, the frequencycheck list checks out. If it is indeed unlocked as you say, you should be good. Do be careful though. You're missing LTE Band 20, and I don't think it's for anything important (normal LTE operates on 2, 4 and 12), but I can't find any information on this band. And, of course, these lists are not always perfect.
Do you think the info from frequencycheck.com is not correct? Accounting the official specs for V10 from Verizon.com, it is only supports LTE Band 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 which is missing the most important Tmo's Band 12.
Of course Verizon is going to tell you that. It should work.
My verizon note 3 works on Tmobile. The v10 from VZW should work with Tmobile too.
T-Mobile V10 on Verizon?
Would then the T-Mobile V10 work on Verizon?
Pink is the new red.
It works. I am using my tmo sim in my vzw lgv10. It rarely get 4Glte tho. Mostly on H or H+.

The vzw v10 works on att and tmo. It does use up slightly more battery than normal, because it will always search for cdma first.

Good to know. Got mine and I'm debating on switching carriers and today's announcement pushes me a little more to do so. Just wanted to make sure it was possible before my return period was over. So far I love the phone. Just need to get used to carrying the beast.

It should work. I had a good 1/2 hour conversation with the local sales rep, in Fort Lauderdale. He said all the new Android phones are unlocked. We also discussed rooting. His phones are rooted. He said not to root until the Knox counter is not tripped.

Did you have to get it unlocked or did you just put your sim in?

Here is my story.
I am using Cricket wireless and bought a Verizon version LG 10 from Best Buy. It's a unlocked phone by default. This phone dose support LTE band 2, 4, 12 (Not sure 17) that compatible with ATT. But there is an issue when you use it in GSM/LTE mobile carrier.
By default the network type is set to "Global". This allows you to talk, text under GSM network (HSPA+, 3G), not in LTE network. If you switch the network type to "LTE/CDMA", you are able to connect to 4G LTE network, but you cannot talk or send text message.
Is there anyone who knows how to have voice, text with LTE network at the same time? Thanks

I have the same problem and cant seem to resolve it, were you able to get this fixed???
Its because i belive tmo uses a band that verizon doesnt to run its lte service I'm trying to trade. If root comes maybe someone will be able to assit damn verizon
yes it works with t-mobile, i am using verizon v10 on t-mobile right now, i disable most of verizon apps on the phone. also set up the apn for t-mobile in order to get data. the only annoying part left is that the phone tell you the sim is not from verizon everytime you restart, but that can easily swipe away just like any other notification.

You get lte speeds?
Anyone tried this or seen this?
hello..
I have the HTC DROID DNA by Verizon. Bought it from US but i live in GREECE now.
Is there a way to use 4G on my carrier here? (VODAFONE/COSMOTE/WIND. i have SIM from all the carriers). i only get HSDPA from GLOBAL network type. If i select LTE i dont get signal.
Im s-off and rooted. Rom:CM 12.1, lollipop 5.1.1
I dont mind if i should flash another ROM. i just want to use the 4G/LTE that DNA supports.
Unlocking more bands?
Hello guys.. as i mentioned above my problem is that i cant get 4G on my Droid DNA on a non-Verizon SIM card.
i found that the day supports the LTE band 13(700) - Verizon only for 4G. Is there a way to unlock mroe bands on this phone; (like FDD-->900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz?
thanks in advance!

Development here is slowed now. But generally I think the band's have to do with hardware so unless your 4g band is specified in the phone specs then no way to add a band.
thanks!
