[Q] can tmobile t989 run on at&t 4g???

I have read about skyrocket getting t mobile 4g service but i never got a clear answer to my question so far i get 3g service on at&t network using tmo galaxy s2 t989.
i am using the Jedi mind trick v8 ICS ROM
I have tried flashing an at&t modem once which did not work well. Please share your thoughts on this if you have succeeded in getting at&t 4g :fingers-crossed:

I don't think so, t989 is not lte by default, even it has 1700mhz. But if you can find a radio to enable it, that will be a different story.

It will never work on att lte. Doesn't have the hardware for it. It will say 3g but will have T-Mobile "4g" speed. 10+mbps

can you explain this?

i have a feeling it is possible but not sure how to do it exactly because it has worked the other way with the right modem and kernel.

Did you read the thread? Ultimately, the thread proves that our phone doesn't have lte so we won't be able to connect to any lte network. However we do get h+ on att though... which can go up to 20+ mbps which is more than enough.

Oh and if i remember correctly. I think someone even took the two phones apart and the antennas are definitely different...
Now i just realize I've been on these threads for too long to remember what went on last year... time for a new phone

thanks for the help so i understand you can't get 4g lte but i can get 4g hspa+ but i have been only getting 3g so far. So could you please tell me which radio to flash and do i need to maually switch bands through service mode or any of that sorts of stuff. thanks in advance. I would be happy with hspa+ if i could get it to work. and wat apn setting should i use?

Before getting to the radios. The icons might say 3g but you're really getting 4g speed. Have you done any speed test? If you're getting below like 3mbps then you probably need to change radios. For some phones stock radios will work with att. But if it doesn't then go over to the skyrocket forum and choose a radio. There should be threads for it. You don't need to change kernels that has nothing to do with it. Only radios.

Help with unlocked AT&T Note 2 on T-Mobile

I'm frustrated already, I bought an AT&T SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and also purchased an unlock code, phone was working just fine with 4g on AT&T ( Tested ) but after unlocking I just don't get service when I use a T Mobile or Simple Mobile SIM.
On the About Phone -> Status I do get "Network: T-Mobile/Simple Mobile" ( Depending on the SIM I use ), but I don't even get EDGE, I cant make calls, I get the annoying emergency calls only, its making me crazy. Is there a way to fix this issue?
I am in Tucson Arizona, a city where T-Mobile has upgraded their GSM frequency.
( I already added the APN settings, but im sure I don't need that to make calls, or get EDGE, I don't know what else to do to fix this ).
Thanks

Does it still work on att?

Not trying to be an a$$ I rly do appreciate that you are taking your time helping me but on my first post is stated that I added the APN and that APN should not keep me from making calls.

The Note 2 uses a micro SIM, I trimmed my T Mobile SIM, this SIM still works on my HTC HD2, but its not working on the Note 2, is it possible that the phone is rejecting the SIM? does the Micro SIM has any kind of DATA that is not present on my trimmed SIM?
The phone works fine with an AT&T micro SIM but not with the T Mobile one( the phone is unlocked with a purchased code ).

[Q] Does Anyone Know if Wind will send Note 2 User update to Jellybean 4.2?

I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Wind in December. Still can't used Multi-Tasking and am waiting for the update. Does anyone know if Wind will push an update through? I did read about Telus, and Rogers rolling out the update soon (February). But it said nothing about Wind Mobile.

[Q] TMobile SIM No Service On Unlocked T999 WHY?

I had purchased a used TMobileGalaxy S3 T999 that was unlocked (dont know what form was used to unlock it)
I had been using a net10 ATT compatible sim for a few months now on it, but today I decided to go ahead and activate at tmobile for their 4g speeds and better signal in my area... To my disappointment my phone shows no service with this sim card... The service rep tried the sim with 2 of their other galaxy devices and It worked fine... but not mine...and its a tmobile branded galaxy s3 t999.
So I took it home... figured maybe if I flash an updated modem/radio it will work... but no, flashed UVDMD5 modem/radio with no luck...
my old sim still works... my gfs sim works... and their from completely different carriers... so my phone is clearly unlocked for other carriers, but just not tmobile... its original carrier :'(
And I already activated for the 1 month $60 unlimited plan with 2.5gb 4G so its seems I'm out of money.. and left with no carrier and no phone to use currently... :'(
You guys have any idea how I can fix this?
Currently I'm on cyanogenmod 10.1 jb 4.2.2 (Im also going to try flashing stock fw to see if anything happens)

Looks like TMobile blocked the IMEI because someone reported the phone to be lost and claimed insurance benefits.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Who did u buy it from? Not necessarily tmo blocked Imei. Rep could of looked that up. Someone could of however changed the Imei. Damaging the security partition and they're not matching on tmobiles network.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Its more likely to be blacklisted if you ask me. I'd call Tmobile and ask. By the end of tge year, all us carriers are supposed to begin sharing blacklists. So if it is, it'll be rendered useless anywhere in the us in the near future.
I'm told att and T-Mobile already are sharing these lists. If that's so, and yours is blacklisted, then it'll probably get blocked by att soon too.
Oh, and anytime you're having problens like this, odin stock firmware. Get rid of the rom as a variable.
Call and find out for sure. ...

Yea flashed stock and got bars but couldnt register to network...called they confirmed my phone was reported lost -_-
So now my imei is blacklisted... and talking about changing it is a big nono everywhere from what ive seen
I bet its simple to change but I prefer having a specific set of instructions when messing with that stuff :S

Think about it please, if everywhere you look, everyone tells you not to do it, there is probably a very good reason.
It is illegal. And personally, I would not be comfortable putting someone in that position.
Unlock and sell it overseas is pretty much your only option. Sorry man...

As I understand it, by the end of the year all US carriers will be pretty much using the same blacklist, so it won't just be AT&T and T-Mobile.
And it's people like that "friend" that measures like this are necessary. Is he gonna turn scammer next and try to sell it on craigslist?....basically stealing a whole bunch of money from someone who can't afford to buy a new phone?
The only somewhat honest option is to unlock it and sell it overseas via eBay.

No! It is illegal! I understand that your friend was willing to commit fraud/theft by deception (or whatever you want to call it), so this being illegal probably doesn't matter either. But on pretty much every forum on the internet, including XDA, even just discussing this is against policy.
Please! Consider this! You are asking in a public forum for someone you don't even know to assist you in breaking the law! I truly hope you understand what I am telling you and take it to heart. Personally, I think it is just plain wrong to put someone in that kind of position by even just asking. Id recommend you drop the whole thing tbh.

I have an idea, go away from XDA for stuff like this, we do not do fraud here, nor do we try to assist in fraudulent actions.

[Q]T-Mobile phone on other carriers..

Howdy,
Quick question... on using the T-Mobile phone on other carriers. I researched around and it "appears" that the phones are all the same internally.. I believe this phone will work on ATT without issue, how about Verizon? Just use a applicable kernel, and modem??
The reason I ask is that my work has offered to cover cell phone but they only have Verizon and ATT
Any reason to pick one over the other?? I was thinking Verizon has they have better coverage where I need it but any other concerns?
Alternately I could just get a s5 I guess... any issues with the s5 and rooting/customizing besides the Knox thing?
thanks in advance!

I would go with tmobile just unlock your tmobile device.

My m919 works perfectly on At&t. The older boot loader (MDL) is the one I have. Not sure of the newer ones can still be switched. I always thought Verizon's radios and freqs were not compatible.

I might lean toward ATT... but my understanding is that all the s4 phones have the same hardware, the modem software determines what "bands" they use...
I see on the Verizon forums a few users have used their Verizon phone on Tmob.. so I would think the reverse would hold true...
ill research more (and maybe get some more feedback)..... don't have to decide today
I have the old baseband (no knox).

I think you can only use tmobile phones with other gsm carriers as long as its unlocked. I'm not to sure about gsm and CDMA. They are way to different.
