I'm pretty sure you would not be able to flash a sprint phone to Verizon but you should be able to flash to boost mobile or something similar pretty soon.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will my T-Mobile Galaxy SII T-989 work on the AT&T network with full service 4G if I unlock my T-989? Thinking about switching providers and wanted to know if my phone will work.

3G yes. 4G as in HSPDA yes, 4G as in LTE no
Actually the T-Mobile GS2 has LTE radio in it. At least anytime you plug it in to the computer it registers as an LTE composite device.

I wondered about 4G LTE. I was in a service setting menu and there was an option to change the band to LTE. Not sure if the phone has the capability but the option in the menu is there.

the T989 (hercules) DOES have LTE bands/radio capabilities. tmous is planning on launching their LTE network...soonish (knowing tmo, more like eventually)

in theory...yes, I don't know att's LTE band preferences, but we have the hardware for LTE.

That doesn't mean anything, you don't have the hardware
confusion then. why is it the first Samsung device to show LTE bands then... if it doesn't actually have the hardware then why do they show up? the t959v gs4g doesn't show them. why this one?

No. Only edge network will work. 3g and 4g work on completely different spectrum and radio frequency

If that was true the galaxy note from att wouldn't get T-Mobile 4 g which it does when flashing a blaze 4g modem I also want to know if this will work on the att s3

That may be true about the Note 2, but an ATT S3 does not have the T-Mobile 3/4G frequencies.

Yes this guys right. Take a look for yourself:
ATT Galaxy Note Specs
T-Mobile Galaxy S3 Specs
ATT Galaxy S3 Specs
Notice how the Note and the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 have that 1700 Mhz frequency? Thats what T-Mobile broadcasts their 3G/4G spectrum on. If the phone doesnt have those frequencies, then it wont work no matter what you do.

That's different. It is a whole different phone with a whole different SoC.
Let's not say things that we cannot prove.
Don't shoot this guy completely down. It will get T-Mobile 3g/4g as soon as T-Mobile refarms their network.

Yeah, because they live in one of the small parts of the US that uses the 1900mhz band for HSPA. It will not work everywhere else.

What about the other way? A T-Mo SGS3 on AT&T? What does that get you? I know NO LTE but what about HSPA+ ?

Yes, HSPA+ will be fine. But as you said, no LTE.
My company gave me a sprint galaxy note 2. I know I can't unlock it. Is there a way I can flash the software inside the phone in order to use it with Verizon. This is my first post here and I could really use the help. Thank you so much!

Its a complicated process using CDMA workshop, also the XDA rules forbid any kind of illegal activities on their site, All I can say is Google around.
Look in the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum... The Pageplus thread. Pageplus is a Verizon MVNO. There are flashing instructions there. That should be pretty close to actually flashing to Verizon. As far as as the method/steps, flashing a GS3 is identical to flashing a Note 2.
One other option is to find someone in craigslist who will trade his clean esn Verizon note 2 for your clean esn Sprint note 2. No flashing required if you go this route.

Hi,
I'm thinking moving from AT&T to T-Mobile and was wondering if I can keep my unlocked Skyrocket (Galaxy SII), flash a T-Mobile rom,a modem, change the APN and be good to go.
Will I be able to get 4g?
Thanks for your help.

I would think being a new customer to T-mobile that you might be able to get the T989 for free....but if not...check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825

If you're somewhere that tmobile has 1900 MHz service, you should be fine. Why lock in to another contract or payment plan if you don't have to?

You still have to run a ROM from the skyrocket forum. You can use T-Mo modems or skyrocket modems
I use the T989 on At&t and get better performance with a T-Mo modem

Going to T-Mobile with their new "non contract" plan will save me $50/month without signing for 2 years, I think it's a really good saving

'Uncarrier' plans, remember? There are no free phones anymore (though there are ones with no down payments, but the SGS2 doesn't qualify). Even the absolute cheapest phones must be fully paid for now as shown on their website.
To the OP, I highly recommend getting a new phone. The i777 is good, but it lacks the 1700 band, so you won't have 3G. Choose whatever phone you like, though, personally, I intend to get the HTC One myself as soon as I can.
I have a tmobile n2. My cousin wants to trade my white one for his grey att n2. Is it possible to get lte on tmobile as well as att?

I have both! What I can tell you is that both are unlocked. And that I can get LTE on the TMO GN2, with my AT&T SIM in there. And on the TMO I also flashed a AT&T custom Rom SKY NOTE!! Which leave the modem in tact but changes everything else. But I don't have an active TMO SIM too check to see if I can get LTE on the AT&T GN2!!
But I get it..on one of them:thumbup:
