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?

I had bought a Japan ARC [SO-01], unfortunately, I bought it b4 1 April, so i cannot get unlocked by docomo and also I'm not in japan now...
I think the unlock code from some provider also work but the problem is that, my phone will not prompt any unlock key insert screen, please help :"(
All Docomo phones sold before and after April 1st still come carrier-locked. The only difference is that starting April 1st, you can now take your handset into Docomo, pay ￥3150, and get your phone unlocked -- even if you bought your phone before April 1st.
You will have to go into a Docomo store, however. If your phone is still carrier-locked (to Docomo), your best shot is to find someone in Japan who can do it for you. Perhaps you can contact the seller and arrange the unlock for some fee.

thanks for confirming this info , i have ordered a docomo xperia arc so that i can use it in the usa , but people have been doubting that it can be unlocked because it was released on March 24th.
the Lt15a(America version) and the Docomo SO-01c are hte same and that is why i ordered from japan
this website has the unlock for xperia arc
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-x12-unlock-codes-p-3329.html
Although they say "They can do" but actually they cannot do, because nobody can find entry screen for unlock code. I bought UNLOCK code from them but cannot do this.

i have contacted this unlock code provider
they have replied sayin it is possible
in the middle of the page there is a way to show you how you get the code screen and hidden menu
this was their reply(my original message is at the bottom
Hi,
Of course there is such possibility. SE XPERIA ARC can unlock here: http://sim-unlock.net/simlock/Sony-Ericsson/Xperia Arc/

Subject: xperia arc
Can you unlock the japanese xperia arc ?
its the Docomo SO-01c
Basically Docomo says this model cannot be UNLOCKED and this has to keep specified ROM.
But finally I could UNLOCK by flashing global ROM and after completing ROM flashing, unlock screen appeared. Therefore I could enter unlock code successfully!
But the key thing is that this cannot be returned to original ROM which is provided from Docomo, so now this is UK or Chinese (HKG) version (LT-15i).
And slightly Japanese font is different from original font style, probably this is Chinese KANJI, I guess.
You can return it to DoCoMo firmware. You just need somebody to update their DoCoMo arc and send you the firmware files.

Sure, the box says exactly this: "GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSPA Bands 1/2/5/6" The UMTS/HSPA bands are 2100/1900/850/800.
You need someone with DoCoMo firmware to update their phone. If they then pack the 'db' folder from SEUS and upload it, I will be able to make an .ftf file for flashtool.

Hi,
Usually I am in Japan but this month I have to stay in France. If I get a Xperia arc european version here and then take it to Japan with me.
Will it be possible to use it in Japan? Does the european version support the japanese network?
Will it be possible to flash the docomo firmware to use sp mode?
Thanks

No, you can not get the European version, the LT15i, for use on DoCoMo. I'm unsure of Softbank.
Arg. Too bad. Thanks for the quick reply.

I think that any japan arc, could be flashed anywhere with an european version software (ie: unlocked LT15i flash rom). The phone will result with the european firmware, but it will support american and japanese networks.
I did that with my C905, its model is "C905a", but I flashed it whit the C905i firmware because of different spanish text from Europa. I use 3G in chile with no prob.
SO, can't this be done to a Japanese Xperia arc?

Hello everyone,
before all sorry for my english.

Which country are you located? If you buy from Sony Mobile there wasn't any carrier and its Unlock. So, no branding at all. It just came with Sony preloaded software.
Otherwise, you could get it here and shipped to you.

Hi, Italy here. The Italians Carrier wil brand devices with the StartUp logo and some bookmarks.
Same issue for me.
I've ordered an Z1 Compact and I got a TIM branded device, now I need to understand if I should ask for a replacement or I can debrand without any risk.
You could flash an unbranded firmware to get rid of any software branding. Just make sure your device doesn't have a SIM lock or similar: dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*), then go to Service info, SIM lock.
Read (!! not just browse) the Resource Thread for further instructions.

I have rooted this phone, flashed TWRP Recovery and Flashed an unlock zip package which modified the baseband frequency of the phone with sprint. This modded unlock package is suppose to allow using the phone outside the USA...is for blacklisted phone of this post ONLY. But I haven't left the USA to test it yet. I return to Yucatan, Mexico in 5 days and will update this post...
If it works, contact me and I can direct you.
:good:
I hope to see if I can unlock. Any event notify them. Likewise if you manage to direct me how to do it please
Mine is LG G7+ G710EAW from HongKong. In the box it has a paper written about region lock that takes 30 minute local call to unlock. I don't live in HongKong, so I assumed the shop I bought did all this for me.
I want to flash a new firmware to another region and perhaps re-flash back to the original one. Will region lock come back (or even worse, the new firmware has it too)?
I tried it myself today. The answer is no. It will not come back.
Did you experience the region lock limitation or just saw a notice about it?

My G7+ was region locked to China, Hongkong, and Macau area. It had been unlocked properly by calling using a regional sim card, Now I don't live in the country of purchase anymore (Hongkong).
I was afraid if there should be something that would trigger the region lock again. However, after hard resetting and flashing another firmware, seems that region lock once unlocked properly will be unlocked forever regardless of whatever you do with the phone.

When cross region, just use the same model number (mine is G710EAW ), whichever region is OK. Hongkong firmware on my G7+ does not support VoLTE and LTE-U in my country so I flash Indonesia firmware to enable them.
You can find all G7/G7+ firmwares on all variants on the internet easily, just use LGUP, .dll file for your device, and USB driver to flash the firmware you want.
Thx for your information.
Even if there was a chance that it is not permanently region-unlocked, you could always just order the unlock code from one of the many online unlocking services...they basically just get the unlock code for you from the manufacturer. Then you could just keep the code handy, in case you ever needed it...
I paid like $14.00 for the unlock code for my black UK/EU Region LG G7 (G710EM) when the U.K. seller that I bought it from mistakenly shipped it to me in the U.S. without first making the local region 30-minute phone call...but it was cool being the first one to actually unseal the box, and it took less than a day for the online unlocking service to send me the code after I ordered it.
I just bought another one from the same UK seller (in platinum grey), and this time I actually requested that they send it to me still sealed (and still region locked)...I will just order the unlock code like the last time. All good!
Good luck, in any case!
Cheers,

Similar to the thread, I'm using LM-G710N which is the korean variant. I guess the store did unlock for me so if I flash other region or international fw, will I be able to take advantage of these variants' dual sim ? Since my dad has a korean samsung s8 single sim which now converted to use it with dual sim.
