I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, but this seem like the logical one.
I recently purchased a Motorola Q9h from Ebay and did not understand the different networks that are out there. So while the phone works on the Cingular network it only has Edge because to have 3G it has to be UTMS 1900 and the phone I have is set at UTMS 2100 which is a European network, so everytime I restart the phone it says that it cannot find a suitable network to connect to.
My question is, does anyone know if there is a possibility to do a ROM update to change the network portion. I am guessing no, because I am sure it is hardware based but I thought I would ask.
I should have just waited for the new phone to come out but I am like many others I am sure that we are impatient =P
If you can answer the question or have some suggestions please feel free to let me know =)
thanks,
Brad

answer one
Q9h_OnlyBP_MODEM4_U_40.11.40R_12
flash this BP（radio） file to you handset may help u
because most of q9h work in 1900(for ex att’s q9h
Europe network basic is in 2100
if it doesn't work
there is a selection in setting menu,which can change the handset's wave band from 1900 to 2100
How did you upgrade the Q 9h to WM 6.5, I am on AT&T. Is there anyway to get 6.5 for my phone?
Hello,
I have recently got a ATT Q9H Global and have flashed it to the ROM here
SHIP_NORMAN_AP_U_01_10_05R_MODEM4_U_40_11_40R_12_U SNORMAN25RTDER2W611A002_1FF-Enterprise-German_3801569218
Everything is working we'll, except the keyboard fix (Z/Y Interchanged). I'd like advise on two things;
1. How do I get 3G working. I am in Tanzania where the GSM signals are 900/1800.
2. Also - What do I need to do to get 6.5 - just flash, or downgrade to stock, then flash. If I flash with a 6.5 ROM - can you direct me to an APP unlocked, SIM/Network unlocked, Unbranded 6.5 that has GPS/3G?

Im looking to flash a custom rom to a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 for the sole intention of getting rid of my work phone (AT&T Blackberry). What is the best ROM (and easiest to switch between radios) to do something like this?
Thanks for any tips!

So far as I know you cannot flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA phone. It will not work.

The CDMA touch pro 2 is also a "world phone" so it has a built in GSM radio. The key is unlocking it for domestic GSM carriers. There are some unlockers to do this, but I am assuming there are various different radios and ROMs you can use that may make this work better or be easier to use.

I am aware of the "world phone" capabilities, and I stand by my statement. You will brick your CDMA phone if you flash a GSM ROM. You need to flash a CDMA ROM.
I believe that it is possible to "un-brick" back to CDMA, although so far as I know no one has "un-bricked" a GSM phone that was accidentally flashed with CDMA.
for better results... aka answers.
i suggest asking this question here --> linky.
because primarily your phone is CDMA,
therefore a CDMA ROM would be needed/required.
i also suggest a read of this --> linky.
it is very informative.
and should help a lot with answering your questions.
hope that helps.

As a CDMA/GSM phone we have the capability to use a GSM sim card, but we can only use tools that were specifically built for CDMA, including ROMs/radios. Flashing a GSM rom/radio will seriously hurt your phone, possibly rendering it unusable.
To unlock for a GSM carrier in the continental US, you will first need to SIM unlock, either through calling your carrier and requesting a SIM unlock or using the olinex SIM unlocker found in the CDMA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
There are a couple guides to getting the tp2 working on various carriers.

I need windows 6.5 for Canada Telus HTC Touch Pro 2. Have they released a version for Canada? If so, where could I find it?
I've been trying to upgrade my OS and when I attempt to download the update it gives me an error saying "this download is not suitable for this device" I believe it is because the download is for european phones.
In addition to this question, has anyone had any success unlocking the Touch Pro 2 from Telus to Rogers?
A quick response would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
ROMs are carrier specific, for the most part. If it isn't on the HTC website, only Telus would be releasing a new ROM. Most carriers have stopped development since the phone has been discontinued. Not likely you'll see a new OEM ROM if one hasn't come out already.
that sucks!! I don't understand why the rest of the world is compatible with this upgrade but canadian clients arn't? doesn't make much sense to me. but thank you for the reply

Complain to your carrier. The stock ROMs are locked to the carrier they are released to by design. If Telus doesn't have an update for it on their website, then there isn't one available. As far as unlocking it to use on another cellular network, you would have to obtain an unlock code from your carrier. This would SIM unlock your device, allowing you to use any GSM carrier with your phone.
Hi XDA,
I am currently on a T-mobile contract, but I will move to a different country for business purposes.
I know how to do the device unlock (thanks to youtube), but I was just thinking of different issues that
might come across when using different GSM network.
my device is rooted, running custom rom with T-mobile radio.
my questions are:
1. even if i unlock my device, shouldnt i flash a different rom that is compatible to other networks? (different radio too?)
2. could i use the roms and radios that are used in international version?
if the process is more complicated than I am thinking, could someone light me up?
Thanks in advance.

Never flash anything from an international model as you will brick your device.
Ok I just got a really sweet deal
150$ brand new in box unlocked Lumia 900 Black... I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
now the only thing is...its branded to TelCel mexico
Are the roms in the dev sectoin interchangeable?
Will flashing another rom re-lock my device?
Also any idea why LTE would not show up on my device...its marked 4G
I got the right sim from my provider, and I am in an LTE area
THank you all in advance if you can provide me any insight regarding these questions

Not sure about the interchangeable ROMs. But as far as I know Telcel don't sell Lumia 900s that supports LTE.
Heck, not even the iPhone 5 is LTE at the moment. However iPhone 5 can be upgraded to LTE with a software update.

If you have 4G on your screen it is LTE, if you see H is HSPA,
I have a Rogers Lumia 900 LTE from Canada, and I had a lot of connectivity issues, I loaded it with Telcel MX firmware and I can tell you its the best ROM available.
1.- Fixed all Connectivity issues
2.- APN settings, including MMS are automatically detected
3.- Removed all Rogers Branding (Rogers Lumia 900 doesn't have any branding on the exteriors, so after flashing with Telcel ROM its like a new factory unlocked device with no branding at all)
4.- Telcel ROM doesn't have any operator custom preloaded apps
5.- The only thing I was nervous was the disappearance on the LTE logo, but apparently they only replaced LTE and HSPA+II by 4G.
6.- Internet Sharing started working (Didn't work with Rogers Firmware with my current carrier CLARO)
There si another post that mention this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905734&page=2
Bottom line, stay with it, it works great!!
thanks alot
Thanks alot for this, I did notice that the telcel rom has no carrier branding, and after reading all your points concerning rogers rom I am definately staying with this one "if its not broke - don't fix it" very helpful post mods feel free to close this thread.
When you changed ROMs, did you run into a signature error? How did you overcome that? It seems some handsets are tied to their specific carrier -- short of upgrading with a same carrier ROM, the update fails with message 'problem with file signature'. or something along those lines.

I have a Rogers phone that is unlocked and being used on Bell and it is flashed with this rom as well. I used Nokia Care Suite and got the rom through the data package manager. It flashed without any problems. There haven't been any updates through Zune yet so I don't know what will happen when 7.8 is released. If it doesn't do the update automatically I'll just update it again through Nokia Care Suite.

Didn't happened anything like that to me, just looked for my RM in Data Package Manager downloaded the latest one and loaded it using Nokia Care Suite
Thanks... glad it at least works for the Rogers devices. I'm guessing there's something added to the AT&T versions which prevent swapping carrier ROMs, even within the same RM group.
I've tried modifying the product code both in the file names and within the files. Still fails with file signature error.

I have the same issue, maybe try flashing it to an earlier ROM from AT&T that doesn't have that limitation?
Doing a field exercise with my unit so it may be awhile before I get to try it myself.
I actually tried that a week ago... rolled AT&T rom back to 8112 (nothing earlier available on NaviFirm list). Same complaint.
