Hi All,
i just bought LG pro (E988) from Hong Kong, However, i found that it's not support 3G in Canada due to different frequency
( 850/1900 vs 900/2100). is it possible to gain more radio band reception by software way ? e.g Flashing ROM, Modem or etc.
Please help
Thanks
Gordon
Id like to know this also, would flashing AT&T KDZ help?

Hi,
My XDA1/T-Mobile PPC is on the XDA Developers SER 1.2 ROM and it has utility wherein I can change GSM mode from GSM900 to GSM 900/1800 to GSM 1900. I recently upgraded through the T-Mobile WM2003 ROM and Radio exe file. Now, I wish to have that utitlity again becuase now I am in asia and it is practical to have the GSM 900/1800. But I am also been goind to the US from time to time so I don't want to lose the 1900 BAnd. Is there a utility somewhere where I can change band?
I saw somewhere that I can change band via the bootloader: I am not familiar with the bootloader can somebody tell me how to change my band to 900/1800? Is it easy if I want the 1900 band back beacuse I'll be going to the states in a months time, and after that I will be back in Asia again (so I have to change to 900/1800 again). Pls help. Thanks.
BTW my device information is as follows:
Hardware Ver. PW10B1
ROM: 4.01.16 ENG
Radio: 6.25.02
try changing which rom you have, maybe that will change the band

Hi,
If your device is B type, that means it's 900/1900 MHz (plz refer to the rear sticker and don't rely on the device info data!) ... so, in Asia you are stuck with 900 MHz ... anyway, changing the band from the bootloader is not that safe action ... some times it make the xda hang a need a many hard reset actions to get back.
I would advice you to get XDA II which is tri-band by design.
The latest official US T-Mobile ROM v4.01.16 still allows the bands to be switched within the OS, whereas with the latest official US ATT ROM vA.30.09 said to be able to switch automatically.
Thanks for the replies. So it is not recommended to switch bands with bootloader?
reydiodj: What do you mean by switching bands within OS? Does that mean I can still get 18000 frequencies?[/b]
thanks for the replies. No need for me to change the band, my device already works perfectly now.
Hello , the problem I'm having is that I can only access G "Edge". My phone was branded to telus (CANADA) carrier , but now is unbranded and has official sense 3.0 rom , using greek carrier cosmote phone supports 850/900/1800/ 1900 and UMTS /HSPA 850/1900 mhz. Any help ?
if you dont mind rooting your phone , then install another ROM ( custom or not) , and see the effect always a good solution
might work on other kernels/roms
cheers
Nothing you can do. The telus and inspire(us dhd) support different frequencies for 3g(850/1900) than europe(900/2100).
Only way to get 3g is to get the European dhd
So i have a Canadian Wave S8500 running 1.0, I have flashed a Europe O2 firmware for 2.0 and WOW is a major change the only problem is the modem, my SIM no longer works. I tried flashing the modem from Bell Stock firmware but it failed.

Thanks for that, i never knew you could SIM unlock for free now, it actually worked with my Rogers SIM eventhough its a Bell phone. My problem now however is that it only works on Rogers, it does not work on Bell. The SIM is detected but cant make calls and this is likely because of a UK modem that does not support Bell frequencies. I need a North American Modem for Bell/Rogers and Telus.
Bell/Rogers are the providers? On what freq they are working? Because wave 1 is working on this
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 - North America
I try to help but i think you need help from someoane who understand modem functions....
yeah i tried looking for compatible firmware for NA but have had no luck.
Had anybody been able to flash the Hong Kong T705 update to a Canadian T705? The Canadian model is SM-T705W vs SM-T705 (US and most of the world)... I haven't been able to flash ANY T705 firmware other than the Canadian firmware which is kind of old (Even the KitKat rom).
Any ideas??
EDIT: My tablet is locked, currently waiting for an unlock code. But can't seem to find any info on whether or not this will actually make a difference.

Your best bet is to sell off your Canadian version for a dirt cheap price on ebay and get an International SM-T705 version instead, as firmware updates for localized versions are usually wayy too long to wait or nonexistent.
If you have any trouble with your unlock code go to cellunlocker.net
They had me my code in two hrs and it worked first try.
No BS, no runnarround.
this is how I unlocked my T705W
Cheers!

Joe... Did unlocking the tablet allow you to flash an international T705 firmware? Like the HK Lollipop update? Or are we still stuck with the KitKat 705W firmware?
Not the international one but I did flash the IronRom V1.1.5 T705. This broke my imei and gave me null/null.
The rom worked but radio did not. So I flashed back to stock and radio came back.

Did you try flashing the HK firmware or just the Ironman? Appreciate the replys as this is currently driving me crazy. I bought this tablet 3 weeks ago thinking I would be able to flash Lollipop, only to find out that our Canadian LTE models seem to be locked down and will probably never receive the Lollipop update...

just the Ironman. Patience young grasshopper
For this device it is a bit late, but I notice curous behaviour from observed lte speeds on the SM-t705w klimtkltecan; at leatst my hardcopy of the kilmtkltecan on a t-mobile sim seems to have up/down speeds throttled at 0.5 mbps each on the ookla speed test. Another curious thing is that klimtltecan is the only klimtelte with a upgraded bootloader SW ver 2 with downgrade not possible. Another curious thing is that the kitkat modem does not beget a recognised sim (at least with upgraded lollipop bootloader). Another curous thing unique thist his post in regards to klimtltecan on xda is that it shares a mostly compatible kernel with chagallltecan (sm-t805w), whihc is reason klimtlte roms dont boot on klimtltecan. So, lots of questions there are. Most of all i can't believe the throttleing bs.
So, cna i ask what everyone's speed resutls are on this device sm-t705w klimtltecan?
thanks.

Hello. I've just ordered my 1+3. I was overhyped, and today I was told it's not an European variant (A3003) but I assume it's Chinese one (A3000). If it's really the chinese variant, it's not really that bad because my country supports LTE Bands 1, 3, 7 and 20, so only 20 will be missing but it's still far from being spread here so... But if it's north american one then I will have big problem cause there is no 1800MHz support... I have big question - will I be able to flash all the ROMs on it without problems? Or my modem/IMEI or something will mess up upon trying to install for example CyanogenMod? Thanks in advance for the support
No you can flash all rom without changing any modems and radios.
You find every guide here on xda after unlocking and flashing twrp make efs backup first.
