Flashing a "a" firmware on a "i" device won't change hardware...
You need the "a" hardware to get the other 3G frequencies.

So what your telling me is I have no choice but to send it back ?

If you want 3G you need a LT18a for America, so yes.

And this is for certain ?

Have a look at page 7 in this document and you'll see that the a-version and the i-dito support different networks.

If your operator doesn't support the ones listed for the i-version it will unfortuantely not work.

Signal problem.

Hi everyone. I bought a used arc s. The problem is that it loses signal most of the time. Its a LT18i model with a rom LT18a could this be a reason? And I am living in a GSM area.

LT28i firmware and other carriers?

Can I use the ATT Ion flashed with international firmware on another network? Either t-mobile or simple mobile?
No because the at&t ion is still sim locked.

Could it be possible I have flashed a sim locked image and flashed that? If so can someone give me the correct unlocked rooted or unrooted sim free firmware 4.1.2 for Samsung galaxy nexus s?

Galaxy Nexus =/= Nexus S. Don't see what's hard about it.
Try restoring the latest factory image. The correct one for your phone.

Not Registered on Network error

I recently received a T-Mobile Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889) and I can't seem to connect to T-Mobile's network. I checked the IMEI and according to T-Mobile, it is clean. I cannot make or receive calls/texts as I receive a "Not Registered by Network" error every time. Under the "Status" section in the Settings menu shows my phone number, but it says "Out of Service" under Service State and "Unknown" under Mobile Network Type as seen in the pictures. I was wondering if anyone could help me resolve this issue...Thanks!
Did you check with Tmobile directly? Third party sites that check IMEI often don't work. If you have service -service bars and data and still doesn't work, your IMEI is probably blocked. I can't think of anything else. Try to switch to different ROM

Try to replace the SIM card.

Try check the apn?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Are you just in a bad area for T-Mobile? Have you tried in a different location, or another phone from the same spot?
I tried changing SIM, the APN, and I know I am not in a bad T-Mobile area as I receive service on my S2 in the same spot.
You can also try to reflash stock firmware.

How would I do that and would that void the warranty?

You have to get the tar file and flash it via Odin. I don't believe it will void the warranty.

I have a question. If u have note 2. Then your factory warranty should be valid and cover ur type of problem. Since u have a S2 then use it temporary and use ur Samsung warranty to send the phone over.
But I have another suggestion. Take ur phone to store and let them use another sim and see what happens. Otherwise just send ur phone. And if happen that u have tmobile warranty then u will send them just ur phone without battery cover + battery it self + all accessories that came with the phone. And tmobile will send a brand new device in sealed box
I really hope that I helped. Thats all I know.
Good luck:beer:
