Is there anything I can do to make my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 usable on Verizon's network?
Root it? Unlock it? Anything?
No, the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is exclusively GSM, and Verizon's network utilizes CDMA technology. You would need to buy a Verizon Touch Pro2 from Verizon to use Verizon's network.
LOL.
AT&T, T-Mobile = GSM
Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular = CDMA
You CANNOT use a GSM phone on a CDMA network and vice versa.
AT&T to T-Mobile??
Hello,
I just upgraded to HTC Evo and moved to Sprint couple of days ago. I am trying to sell my Touch Pro2 to my friend who has a T-Mobile.
My TP2 is currently running the EneryROM, so I am wondering what I could do to get this phone run on T-Mobile.
We inserted his SIM-Card but unfortunately the phone asked for a code because the network is blocked.
I think I can download the T-Mobile's official ROM for TP2, would that work by itself?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

nope... wont work.. you cant just install a rom on the phone and have it work on another network... The phones themselves have to be compatible.. like was said up there.. gsm phones run on gsm networks.. cdma on cdma... now that said.. arent the touch pro 2's with verizon and sprint world phones so will run on both gsm and cdma?? Although I'm fairly certain even if it is possible to get it to work on the network you want you definatly wont get 3G....
You're better off just selling your phone to someone ON your network... craigslist or ebay can be your best friend... and he's better off buying one made for his network.
Just my two cents!

First of all, don't try to flash the T-Mobile ROM onto your Sprint Rhodium, since that's a great way to brick your device (the ROM is for a GSM device, flashing that to a CDMA/GSM device will brick it). Sprint allows the use of SIM cards for any carriers except US ones, so what you need to do is Security Unlock your Sprint TP2, then flash this special modified radio that will allow for the use of SIM cards from US carriers. Only then can you use your Sprint TP2 on T-Mobile US.
EDIT: Disregard this entire post, I misread it and this probably doesn't apply to the actual situation. My bad...

AFAIK, the TP2s on Verizon are World Phones, but I really doubt that you could go and use a Verizon TP2 on a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mo. I would assume Verizon would lock the feature to do that, and that the GSM antenna is more then likely an underpowered or unable to really take advantage of GSM networks (3G/HSDPA, Edge, etc). I think they are only set on on Verizons end to do basic voice and basic features.

Apparently no one is READING your post. You want to take an AT&T Tilt2 and run it on T-Mobile. It will work with the following restrictions:
1. Your phone is network locked to AT&T. You have to either call AT&T and get an unlock code, or buy a code off ebay or one of the forums here. That way the phone will work on a different carrier network.
2. Having unlocked your phone, with a T-Mobile SIM card it will work - but only on the slower Edge speed, NOT 3G. AT&T uses a different 3G technology than T-Mobile.
I would suggest selling it as an AT&T locked phone on ebay.

Thanks Steve
Everyone,
I apologize for the confusion.. I re-read my post and I didn't mention that my Touch Pro 2 is an AT&T phone. (I was an AT&T customer and moved to Sprint). Sorry about that guys..
But thank you everyone especially stevedabi for reading between the lines.. LOL.. He won't buy it but my other co-worker is very interested. Need to sell this thing so I can offset my termination fee from AT&T. haha.

Why not just transfer the entire contract to him WITH the phone.. Then you don't have to pay a cancellation fee... Can they do that here? I know of a few people that did it up in Canada but have never heard of anyone in the states doing it. I'm sure it's got to be possible down here.

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 on AT&T and am not happy with the small screen size after coming from a GNex. Thinking about getting a GN2, like the phablet idea since I really don't talk much on my cell. I know I can wait until next week to get the 4G LTE AT&T version at full price($649) or I could buy the unlocked international version without LTE. I don't live in an area that has LTE or will get LTE soon. What do you guys think about my buying the GN2 from Tmobile at their no-contract price($649), unlocking via ebay to use on AT&T? This way seems easier to return in case I change my mind(considering the Nexus 4 and 10 for the same price) than buying online, plus the resale should be better right? Will the TMobile version work with AT&T LTE(if I move in the future)?
Thanks

It wont work with LTE since it doesn't have that band. If you intend to use AT&T I would just wait it out honestly.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
wait it out, get the AT&T version, U will want LTE when it comes to your city and AT&T is expanding quite often
Actually the T-Mobile Note II does support LTE on the 1700/2100 bands. It's just not enabled right now. I agree with the others, wait out the AT&T verson.
...and I can't get the LTE to work on my unlocked TMOB

So, wait... You're planning to spend $650 on the AT&T Note 2, and you don't have LTE in your area, nor is it planned any time soon? If LTE isn't an issue for you, and you're in a position where you're going to be forced to pay full price anyway, why not just buy the international unlocked N7100 instead? It's available for less than $650 now if you shop around, and on top of that, you'll benefit from better development support, and you won't be missing features.
i'm having this same problem!!!! i have a 2 year plan with ATT. i don't get LTE in my area, should i just buy the unlocked n7100 right now off amazon? how do i activate it with ATT? idk wtf to do! i'm worried i'll get real slow data on it in my area
It's being released this week. Just wait. At least that way you'll have the AT&T LTE bands available if needed. You can always unlock the AT&T GN2.

There was a coupon code that's now expired
There are many T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2's on craigslist in my area for around $500. Does anyone know if these will work on AT&T at all? I know the LTE won't work but just wondering if they're unlocked or stuck on T-Mobile only?

If you flash a att modem and change the apns it should be good to go...?...That's what many people were doing with the att galaxy note 1 for people on t-mobile in our threads(att samsung galaxy note 1)

Hmmm, sounds dangerous lol. Will probably just try the APN change and if that doesn't work then do the $25 online unlock

The most stupid comment i had read in a while. Dont flash different carrier modems if you do not want to brick your phone. Great advice you give to users ropqir.
Unlock the T-Mobile Note 2 and you will get HSPA on AT&T's network.
No Flashing required.

You apparently don't know anything about flashing..So if you were educated you would know that it does work and in fact confirmed method to work on other (t-mobile) carriers..
Flashing a different rom will cause bricking not modems. Learn to research..This is all in AT&T section..
At the time t-mobile didn't have the galaxy note so people bought the att version and flashed the modems and changed the apn to make it work on there network...Now that you want a t-mobile device to work on AT&T its the same process just use the att modem and att apns...

ok my question is this,
I am trading up an old iPhone 4s for a T-Mobile Galaxy Note II, is it possable to debrand or install AT&T rom on this phone to make it an AT&T phone?
or any kind of work around to get it running on AT&T LTE network
let me know
Thanks
P.S. i do not have the phone in hand yet so i am asking if it is worth the trade

I know the tmobile note 2 is capable of lte but.it's not enabled in the default firmware, and I'm not sure if the frequencies will be the same as tmo hasn't even started rolling out their lte. My guess is it's the same hardware, but I would do as much searching as possible before doing the trade. If it's possible, I'm sure someone here at xda will get it working if it's possible, but it hasn't been out long enough for any definitive info. (At least nothing I've seen)

It should run on the AT&T HSPA+ (3.5G) network with no problems (as long as it's carrier/SIM unlocked) as the phone should have the 850/1900 GSM bands that AT&T uses. I'm not sure about LTE...but I don't think it will work.

Hello,
I have the ability to purchase a T-Mobile Note 2 right now. The problem is my carrier is AT&T. I'm not interested in getting LTE to work only HSPA+, but will that even work? To do it, would I have to unlock it, how would I do that? Also once it is unlocked and working with AT&T, would I flash AT&T Note 2 ROMs or the T-Mobile Note 2?
Thanks,

Man, how many of these TMobile on ATT posts do there have to be? Search before posting!
Yes it works, I get 8Mbps down on good days, worst I have seen is 2 Mbps. You will have to unlock your phone, SEARCH for the free unlock. I've seen it posted here, in the N7100 forums and S3 forums. You should be able to find easily. For roms, stick with the TMobile roms on a TMobile phone.
If you don't have plans on going to TMobile or LTE, I would suggest the N7100 international version. More rom development, faster firmware leaks and releases. I also got better battery life out of my N7100. I kind of wish I would not have traded my N7100 for the TMobile Note2. The TMobile version is easier to hack if you want to put it on an ATT dumb phone plan.
We currently have GS7s
So I had put this there also
But I thought better chance of people here having done this already...
My family has been with sprint for decades.
We have never done a carrier switch.
Family plan.
All phones carrier unlocked.
We have 3 GS7s with sprint firmware.
Two are sprint hardware
One is U hardware
PHOENIX market. Tmobile 5G.
Looking to change all 3 #s to tmobile family plan
Replacing the two sprint GS7s with GS20+
And keeping the GS7 U (sprint firmware)
But changing the GS7 U to tmobile.
Not worried at all about the new GS20s.
Concerned for what to expect of the kept GS7 U (sprint firmware).
Will tmobile flash new tmobile firmware to it?
Will tmobile turn on the proper tmobile radios?
Will the sprint specific bloatware remain and not be uninstallable?
Do I have to do the tmobile firmware/radios myself?
Thanx

Does GS7 "U" mean it's unlocked? If you purchased it unlocked you can put a T-Mobile SIM in and it will work.

i mean im not a gs7 owner for years assuming hes talking about a galaxy s7 which might have issues on tmo if it doesnt have much gsm capability since sprint is of course cdma..
im just gonna stick with sprint and get a sprint s20 ultra 5g seeing as how sprint and tmo are now the same company and sprint users are already able to roam on tmos network and s20 5g owners can already use tmos nationwide 5g as well as they currently have 0 down for new lines and upgrades and sprint is usually the cheaper option (although im on an employee swac acct)
to add tmo wont do anything to the device firmware or anything of the like.. if its unlocked and capable they could probably activate it.. if not then it wont work or u might have some stuff work n other stuff not..
good luck on the switch.. we'll all be under the new tmobile soon enough lol
