Galaxy Nexus has a VIA chipset rather than the usual Qualcomm which made things more difficult... but in the end it is VERY possible to flash the device to ANY CDMA carrier in the world. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621
Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a Rogers GS3. are all ROMs in this section compatible with each other? As in can AT&T, Bell, Telus, Rogers custom roms work on each other or do we need to find roms specifically for each carrier?

Yes, because of the fact that the hardware is the same. We can also flash tmo roms too. Make sure to flash your modem as well and change to your respective apn settings so you can actully do what a phone is supposed to do. Call and text xD

No worries, thats what Q&A is for
Hello,
I am using my Australian S3 4G model handset with VodaAu sim card, currently I am connected to AT&T and my reception is unstable, this is the same while using T-Mobile. I would like to flash my modem with a version that others on at&t are using to resolve my issues...
Will this help?
And which version?
Thanks,
Aussie abroad

Some digging on my part suggests the phone you have is probably the i9305, not the i747. You might want to go over here to ask your question, look for modems, etc.
It is the i9305 gt model yes, but the modems should be the same?

No. They are different phones.
Think like this.. 2 people named David.. lol
Just wondering, my radio for the most part works fine. Having some WiFi connectivity issues here and there (connection drops lots of packets after a while and it's better to revert to 3G) but that could be rom-based as it's a recent thing. Other issue is the phone takes far longer than my old N1 to pick up signal again after being underground (often have to switch on/off airplane mode) and this has been this way since day 1
In any case, they are minor issues, but I hear that updating radios can really unlock a lot of the phones data speed and battery potential.
So the question is how do I go about it? Is it just a matter of flashing the latest radio? Right now I have baseband XXLF1 (out of the box) and I've been looking at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34045210 as the latest version, how do I know if it's compatible with my particular device?
Moreover, all of these basebands seem to have CWM flash capability, what about TWRP?

You could have asked that question in that thread.. But latest European gsm radio is XXLH1, and yes, those zips should be compatible with twrp.

So will it work fine with my phone which is on AWS spectrum? I know Europe uses different frequencies. Sorry for the newbie question, I'm just nervous about bricking my phone.
Is it safe to flash a takju radio over a yakju device?
Also can't figure out what RIL is?

What carrier are you on?
It's not a newbie question, and I'm not sure it will work with AWS, but it should as it's just a subset of UMTS.
Yes, takju radios are the same as yakju radios
RIL = radio interface layer

As i own a gsm model, I didn't know for sure. But like I stated, AWS uses a subset of the UMTS bands, so it should work.

I'm on WIND mobile in Canada, same spectrum as T-mobile US. If the phone is already on XXLF1, is it safe to say it will be alright with XXLH1? Aren't they both for the same devices?
Moreover, if something goes wrong with the flash (incompatible model or so) is there any recourse?

Yes. Compare md5sums, flash the radio through fastboot, you should be fine.

Hi OP, if you purchased your unit in canada, it is a GSM version.
XXLH1 will work, it will work on WIND mobile for sure (I am on wind too
Also the zip files will work, all TWRP and CWM are basically the same, AFAIK, all flashable zip are compatible with TWRP and CWM.
If you are unsure about which radio to flash, i would simply suggest you to make a backup, and flash the original image from google, which contains the latest radio for your device.
All images can be obtained from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Go ahead and flash Takju/Yakju, it doesnt make any difference in canada as google wallet doesnt even work here. I am on Yakju, lol.
I bought the Korean phone LU6200 but it does not work with my att sim card.... Can I make it work if I flash a ROM from the Nitro on the LU6200???
Could it be that the phone is locked to a carrier?
May be try this

Can u check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051590
But i would say go through the thread completely before proceeding.. do it at your own risk.. all the best
Specs for LU6200: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_lte_lu6200-4188.php
It looks to be a cdma phone and the phone's frequency bands aren't supported by AT&T: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies#United_States_Carrier_Frequency_Use
may be this will help

Flashing the P930 rom will enable connecting to 3g networks in Canada and USA? That's nice:victory:
