Hi Guys,
Is it possible to use a phone that i bought from korea(Galaxy W), here in the philippines? does flashing a rom/baseband specific for my country will solve the problem?

Not sure...
AFAIK the 2G system in Korea is unique to that nation only. But the 3G system is compatible with the world (excl. USA).

Of course no if you follow flashing step by step correctly.

I am moving to mexico soon,
I was wondering if there is a way to unlock my INC to work on any provider in mexico.
I need to know what companies this would work for, and what method i need to use to make this happen.
what cdma carriers are in Mexico and are they able to flash it so you can actually use your phone with all the features. If not, you can't

Here's a list of CDMA bands/carriers in Mexio. I think you'd have to find their ppp settings etc., and manually provision your phone in epst.

Yes, you can use your DInc. Right now i'm using mine with Iusacell (CDMA carrier for Mexico); i bought in US (from Verizon) but I can use it here at Mexico.
Don't sweat, it'll be stolen soon anyways so if it doesn't... HAHA! Jokes on them!

Yes you can use it with iusacell. You will have to do the configuration.

I have a defy (green lens) running cm9 (9-SKANK-defy)
:crying: I recently bought a 3g plan from Vodafone and noticed that I would get 3G at home but not at office. My colleague with an iphone 4 would get perfect 3g (also on Vodafone) at office.
I tried:
-Every baseband in both the CM9 baseband switched as well as Itzfun
-*#*#4636#*#* and setting band to WCDMA only, WCDMA preferred
- Changing between multiple CM9 ROMs
but to no avail. :crying:
:fingers-crossed: I finally ran into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258 by adlx.xda which had supposed 3g fixes for India (amongst other countries) attached. However the zip file did not run in CWM as it used an older amend-script format. A little xda-googling later I found how to put the files into the new script format.
However, after flashing the zip, still EDGE :-( . But then I again went into *#*#4636#*#* and changed band to WCDMA only.
:laugh: VOILA!!! 3G!! REJOICE!!! Now I don't know if this is a colossal coincidence or the fix worked. I'm posting the zip here anyway. Maybe it might help someone.
p.s. - This is my first post - kindly guide me if I've got some arcana of etiquette wrong
instead of all that u can go to settings-advanced-baseband selection
then select Asia then south east Asia and then 3.4.3-311
PS:Vodafone is too costly!(Don't know about new 3G plans...)

The issue might be newer baseband switching which some times does not d anything at all!!
U should keep the older BBS v4 (baseband switcher)

H = HSDPA
HSDPA it's an update of 3G (UMTS)
I usually get H but sometimes I get '3G'.. I can't really make out a difference in speed, but which one' s faster?
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2
H is theoretically much faster. For a while some companies tried to call it 4G but some politics later they were forced to call it 3G+
So here is my gnex. White international. Was running stock perfectly fine last night. No problem. But I woke up this morning and it wouldn't connect to any network. Tried rebooting tried wipes tried choosing networks. Nothing. And so I kindly showed my nexus the way of the root, unlocked boot loader ect. Flashed aokp. Still nothing. Flashed cm9 nothing. So I'm gonna flash a couple kernels. But I wanna know your opinions. Please and thank you

Bad radio chip, perhaps?
Bad provider coverage?
Bad radio and RIL combination?

Hello, my T-mobile SGS3 is (factory) unlocked and I use it with another entirely different carrier.
Is it safe to flash the new UGLV1 radio??
Thanks
Very doubtful!
There are a number of people that had problems when flashing radios on other carriers. Particularly with the T999V.
What carrier are you with? What is your phone model? And what is its current baseband?

I think it is still a SGH-T999. The baseband is T999UVLEM
You msy be able to use the other radios then. Depends on your carrier. UVLEM works so others should as well.
If not you can always flash back to original.

I live in Brazil and my carrier is Vivo. I bought the phone from Amazon while I was in the US and it came unlocked.
I am very afraid to flash the new radio... Isn't my UVLEM modified to be unlocked? If not, what is modified, then? What is different in my phone from other SGH-T999s that makes it unlocked?

Flashing a radio will not re-lock your device. Stick to radios that have T999 in their name - the others won't work and could potentially brick your device.
Thanks for the help, flashed with no problems.
Check out the modem flasher tool on the dev section. Makes it very easy to test and find the best radio for your phone and area.

I got the same problem, wonder if there is any solution without downgrading the firmware
I am a Hong kong user too
F180S is set to work within 15Hz +/- of send 1755-1765 and recv 1850-1860. there is 2nd set of LTE band but that doesnt overlap w LTE band provided in HK. My guess is the the 20d update has reduced the range to maximize battery life, and stopped working w HK LTE. or they changed it to sell HK version of OG.
Probably possible to just get modem from previous 4.0 version and replace the one for 4.1.2.

i think only 180L version is compatible for overseas LTE connection.
those 180S is not compatible...
