Hello , the problem I'm having is that I can only access G "Edge". My phone was branded to telus (CANADA) carrier , but now is unbranded and has official sense 3.0 rom , using greek carrier cosmote phone supports 850/900/1800/ 1900 and UMTS /HSPA 850/1900 mhz. Any help ?
if you dont mind rooting your phone , then install another ROM ( custom or not) , and see the effect always a good solution
might work on other kernels/roms
cheers
Nothing you can do. The telus and inspire(us dhd) support different frequencies for 3g(850/1900) than europe(900/2100).
Only way to get 3g is to get the European dhd

Hi,
My XDA1/T-Mobile PPC is on the XDA Developers SER 1.2 ROM and it has utility wherein I can change GSM mode from GSM900 to GSM 900/1800 to GSM 1900. I recently upgraded through the T-Mobile WM2003 ROM and Radio exe file. Now, I wish to have that utitlity again becuase now I am in asia and it is practical to have the GSM 900/1800. But I am also been goind to the US from time to time so I don't want to lose the 1900 BAnd. Is there a utility somewhere where I can change band?
I saw somewhere that I can change band via the bootloader: I am not familiar with the bootloader can somebody tell me how to change my band to 900/1800? Is it easy if I want the 1900 band back beacuse I'll be going to the states in a months time, and after that I will be back in Asia again (so I have to change to 900/1800 again). Pls help. Thanks.
BTW my device information is as follows:
Hardware Ver. PW10B1
ROM: 4.01.16 ENG
Radio: 6.25.02
try changing which rom you have, maybe that will change the band

Hi,
If your device is B type, that means it's 900/1900 MHz (plz refer to the rear sticker and don't rely on the device info data!) ... so, in Asia you are stuck with 900 MHz ... anyway, changing the band from the bootloader is not that safe action ... some times it make the xda hang a need a many hard reset actions to get back.
I would advice you to get XDA II which is tri-band by design.
The latest official US T-Mobile ROM v4.01.16 still allows the bands to be switched within the OS, whereas with the latest official US ATT ROM vA.30.09 said to be able to switch automatically.
Thanks for the replies. So it is not recommended to switch bands with bootloader?
reydiodj: What do you mean by switching bands within OS? Does that mean I can still get 18000 frequencies?[/b]
thanks for the replies. No need for me to change the band, my device already works perfectly now.
I know Telstra runs on UMTS 850Mhz in Australia, but at the moment it's also running alongside 3 on UMTS 2100Mhz (the more popular band).
My questions is what is the base firmware which has been loaded onto the phone? Is it the UK 2.21??? (which has bands 900/2100 covered) or is it another one?
Reason for asking is I've flashed back to UK 2.21 (don't ask why!) and now have found that I get my network reporting as "3Telstra" (which I'm guessing is UMTS 2100Mhz) versus what it used to report ("Telstra").
So question 2 then is if I'm running on 2100Mhz due to having the UK 2.21 sbf flashed, what should I flash to get my 850Mhz band back? Or how do i get 850 back?
TIA for any help all...
System version Blur_Version.2.26.0.MB525.Telstra.en.AU
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version EPU93ST2_U_03.03.00
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number FRDNEM_U3_2.26.0
Try the following link to the telstra page to configure your defy for mms, and internet. I have used it many times myself after trying lots of different firmwares.

Thanks for that, i never knew you could SIM unlock for free now, it actually worked with my Rogers SIM eventhough its a Bell phone. My problem now however is that it only works on Rogers, it does not work on Bell. The SIM is detected but cant make calls and this is likely because of a UK modem that does not support Bell frequencies. I need a North American Modem for Bell/Rogers and Telus.
Bell/Rogers are the providers? On what freq they are working? Because wave 1 is working on this
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 - North America
I try to help but i think you need help from someoane who understand modem functions....
yeah i tried looking for compatible firmware for NA but have had no luck.
Hi All,
i just bought LG pro (E988) from Hong Kong, However, i found that it's not support 3G in Canada due to different frequency
( 850/1900 vs 900/2100). is it possible to gain more radio band reception by software way ? e.g Flashing ROM, Modem or etc.
Please help
Thanks
Gordon
Id like to know this also, would flashing AT&T KDZ help?
Regarding 32.4.A.1.54
1 is there a UK customized version available ?
2 if i use one for a certain network would it lock my phone to that network as its currently sim free , or would it just limit me to that network in till i change the ROM ?
3 would a customized version for a different country be better ?
thanks for any reply's

use the MENA Arabic version. I found it much better in terms of bloatwareZ
and its in English btw, its just designed for MiddleEast
however i am not sure what bands it won't support for Europe.
however there is also CENTRAL EUROPE version which i havent tried yet
You can choose to exclude parts before the flash.
I exclude all .ta files
Flashing a rom shouldn't lock your phone. But flashing a rom from a different region or CDA, xould cause wifi / radio conflicts.

if your bootloader is still LOCKED then kindly first downgrade to Android6.01 and EXTRACT TA.IMG using DIRTYCOW SCRIPT available on XDA
no yasu my boot loader is not locked im refering to the networks on xperifirm via the downloads... please read what im asking based on . E.g my phone is unlocked NETWORK WISE... the rom is normally use is Generic UK but its not on the latest update... but there is a Vodafone ( network provider ) in the Uk which has this rom up to date... e.g no different network bands.. but i'm assuming vodafone bloatware... also im asking based on it being a vodafone rom would it limit other network sims from working.
cheers
cheers patrick

Good day dear.
thank you for explaining again. yes I got confused with the term UNLOCKED with bootloader only.
1. since your device is not SIMLOCKED you can flash any other region as long as you stay with-in your variant. the VODAFONE may have presintalled bloatware in this case try flashing central europe? (if its latest).
2. apart from anything else, consider downgrading to android6 or 5.1.1 for once, in order to EXTRACT TA.IMG
