[HELP] HTC Magic (Asia) using TMo USA 3G - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi Everyone,
I bought a HTC Magic with 900/2100 MHz, which I just found out that it doesn't work with US TMo's 3G (1700/2100) network.
Please, does anyone have a solution, maybe a tweak or a system flush?
Sorry if it doesn't make sense, I desperately seeking for help and if there is a solution.
TIA.

htc touch pro 2 (rhodium) USA in ITALY

Hello everyone,
Sorry if my question may have already been addressed by a search but I could not find any answer.
Short Dorei buy a HTC Touch Pro2 brand T-mobile to an interesting as subscriber with T-Mobile .
consulting the datasheet of the American gem I found a big difference compared to the Italian provider in particular as regards the frequency band of the 3G ...
htc USA:
network
HSPA/WCDMA 1700\2100 mhz
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
htc ITALY:
Network
HSPA/WCDMA europa\asia 900\2100 mhz
Connettività di rete e frequenze di bandaHSPA/WCDMA
My final question then is:
real problems that I have if I buy this cell in daily use in USA in Italy?
work exchange data file at high speed even here?
there is the possibility of putting a pretty comprehensive Italian Rom despite a U.S. product id?
I'm doing the right thing or I'll regret?
thanks for your attention, I hope that maybe someone with a HTC Touch Pro2 bought in the USA can help me understand.
please help me!
please anyone can help me on this particular product?
the T-Mo US version will work just fine in Italy. The 2100 freq. for 3G is used by Vodafone, TIM, 3 Italia and Wind. When in the US the TP2 will use for 3G the 1700 Mhz for T-Mo. 3g network.

Desire under AT&T

Hi, I'm planning to buy one of unlocked Desire on Ebay. there is only one thing bother me. Will desire work under AT&T's 3G network? I know it will definitely work under 2G(EDGE) network, but how about 3G?
I think AT&T uses 850/1900/2100 Mhz band, and the Desire support 1900/2100 Mhz, will that works?
BTW: I'm in Illinois if you are trying to say AT&T is using different band in different states.
thank you very much

[Q] 3G not working on AT&T US on DHD bought in Singapore

Hello Guys,
I am new to this forum and need some help with my DHD which I bought in Singapore.
I am using it in US with AT&T and unfortunately I am not getting 3G eventhough i have 3G service. I am getting EDGE after setting up the APN. Please let me know if there is a way to get this phone working on 3G. I have already called HTC and AT&T and they mentioned that there might be difference in the frequencies.
Thanks
DHD UMTS (3g) is 900/2100 MHz, check what your carrier provides.
My particular carrier in Thailand, TRUE, only broadcasts 850 UMTS, others here use 900/1900/2100.

[Q] Changing GSM Band Lock

Hi Guys,
Well, this is my first time posting here, so hello to you all!
Anyway, down to my problem. I have a Desire Z A7272 running on the Australian Telstra network. I just bought a new sim card today that is Next G activated.
I have a few problems which I am hoping to solve by asking you experts First of all note that the Telstra Next G network runs on the 850mHz bandwidth, which I believe my phone does not support. Seeming as I live in regional Australia, this is undesiarable because although 21000mHz is supported and available, Telstra only runs it in the metro area, where it doesn't reach me.
I was searching the net for a couple of days until I found a forum where it explained how to lock the GSM bands. I can't link it as I have lost the page. What I did was dial *#*#4643#*#* and change the network lock to "United States". This was because in the US they don't have the 900mHz band they use the 850mHz band and I was hoping to get my phone to use the 850mHz band.
Now to my 2 problems.
1. When I locked the phone to the 850mHz band, it seems that I can't access *#*#4643#*#* anymore. I type the number in, and nothing opens. I was wondering how to fix this so I could set it up to "Automatic" again.
2. I was wondering if there is anyway hardware or software wise to be able to access and use the 850mHz network. If you could link or quote some reliable/trusted sources that would be excellent. I will take unknown sources but will do with caution, I don't want to break my 2 week old phone.
Thanks guys, sorry for the essay.
Haash.
EDIT: Please note that my phone is running Android 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1.
Your phone is only capable of accessing whatever bands your hardware is designed to. I don't know the specs for your Desire Z, but if the bands you want are not listed in the hardware specs, you will NEVER get them. You would need to investigate whether there is a desire z model built to run on the gsm spectrum you need.
For example, here in the US, Tmobile and AT&T phones can be unlocked to use on each other's EDGE network. But no magic code can ever give them the hardware needed to run each other's 3G network.

Thanks, now all I need to do is get my *#*#4643#*#* working again so I can change it back to the 21000mHz network that I can use.
For anyone wondering:
Europe:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
BUT, for the Tmobile G2 (American version)
GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS:
1700/2100, 2100
Thanks, does anyone know how to unlock *#*#4643#*#*?

It could possibly be that the code you're using isn't correct. I believe it is *#*#4636#*#*

[Q] Lenovo Z90-7 (VIBE SHOT) BELL CANADA LTE NOT WORKING

Hey everyone,
I'm on bell mobility in canada and bell does have 2600 mhz support. When I use the Lenovo Vibe shot, I only get 3G connection, NO LTE.
Is there a way to change this??? Is there a way to fix this? Hardware wise, it SHOULD be able to connect to 2600 mhz on bell mobility LTE but it doesn't. It goes only as far as 3g.
Please help me!! I'm trying to deal with this for weeks and I can't find any solution.
I'm wondering if you don't have the Chinese version vs the European version... Another member reported that even though the specs were listed as the same, some bands were not present in the Chinese variant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62737607&postcount=17
FML! It is the chinese version! but i bought it from etotalk.com! It listed 2600 mhz frequency explicitly....
is there anyway to select the LTE band?
