I have searched everywhere! I can't be the only one with this issue!
I need a qcn file from a T-Mobile version of the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (sm-t217t). If anyone out there has a t217t, and would be willing to share the qcn file, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have an SM-T217A that is unlocked and I am trying to use it with T-Mo. The problem is, I live in an area that doesn't have lte yet. Much of my area is still stuck on EDGE. Since AT&T is such a petty lil' child, they lock out the aws bands so you can't use their devices with T-Mo. This is nothing more then a software lock that is easy to bypass with the proper files and mods. That is why I'm here. If someone could provide the qcn file from a t217t, I believe I can unlock the bands and make the t217a useful with T-Mo's 3G & HSPA+ networks.
After I've modded the bands to work with the aws network, I'll upload the qcn for others to benefit from this effort. After all, I can't be the only one who needs this.
Note: T-Mo c.s. told me that every area will be upgraded to lte starting this summer, but I know better then to hold my breath with the slowest network in the world.
Mods; Please close this thread. I have solved this issue. I will post a how-to in a few days, in case anyone else wants to use a t217a on T-Mo.

Hello i have this s3 747m from virgin
I unlocked it using the steps in this forum from hidden menu
I did a network search and found 302490 (wind 1700MHz)
I went to wind store and put a wind sim in but it wont work only emergency and when trying to dial out it gave me not registered device msg
I did a network search and it came up only wind away 3 times
So with virgin sim i can find 302490
Can someone explain pls why i cannot use i on at least one of the aws bands
I also noticed that there is no 2100 MHz aws on the hidden menu
Im sorry if this has been discussed previously but i couldn't find it
Thanks
My friends nobody can help me out?
I'm willing to drop the LTE if neccesary cause I don't have in my area anyway
Thanks
As far as I know nobody has been able to use anything but Wind S3's on wind
AFAIK The i747 will not function on wind's network. You need a T999 to run on their HSPA over AWS network.

Well than can someone explain why i have aws support onthe phone(able to scan wind 302490) but not able to scan mobilicity
A repair shop told me he can convert the phone so its doable i guess
Anybody can explain?
Thanks
seriosly nobody can explain why i can scan wind network on my phone?
i know this thing about the i747m that would work on wind/mobi network was disscused a lot of times but never explaind fully why
i believe this forum have a lot of "bright minds" that can fully explain this issue and probably make it a sticky for other ppl
thanks

I went thru that post a while ago and that triggered me to post because I do have aws support but why I cannot use at least the network that my phone finds
And funny thing is that I'm only able to find wind not mobilicity
I know wind uses 1700/2100 aws not sure if mobi uses both
My explanation that I'm able to find wind would be that it uses one of the bands that i747m have but cant understand why I cannot use at least one of the bands if I'm able to scan it
Any suggestions?
Thanks
anybody?
I have recently purchased an LG Optimus G pro, LG E-980 - the ATT phone.
I am trying to set it up to use with my carrier Mobilicity here in Vancouver BC.
Mobilicity is on the AWS Band 4 frequency, just like WInd Mobile here in Canada and T-Mobile in the US.
The phone has been unlocked and rooted but when I try to select my carrier from the list under Network Carriers,
it does not appear.
The specs on this phone do indicate that it should work with this frequency but I cannot seem to get it to work.
I have added the appropriate APN settings for data and MMS but I cannot even get voice let alone data.
I have set the network mode to WCDMA Only but still no luck.
I have discovered the hidden menu but do not know what if any changes to make.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
From my understanding of reading the specs is that this phone can support AWS (1700/2100).
Any thoughts?
Thank you
It should at least get EDGE to make voice calls. Where did you read that the E980 has AWS bands? It doesn't. It may work with LTE but not WCDMA. If it's not making voice calls, check swappa's ESN checker and see if the IMEI has been blocklisted.
it does support aws - for lte.
i read it in the specs and there are other users on this forum that are using it on tmobile lte
imei is fine and it doesn't do 2g voice only because this carrier only supports 3g aws for data - no edge
i am interested if the method mentioned on this forum titled "Enable AWS band (3g/4g Tmobile) on ATT Note 2 stock baseband" would work
that method has also been used for the same purpose on the samsung s4
I believe the s4 uses the same snapdragon 600 soc so i would like to know if this could be ported over to work with the g pro
not sure but newer player like mobilicity/wind do not have the 2g frequency....it use the 1700/2100 frequency... it should work since the ogp have the 1700 and the 2100 frequency...the same is for those who are on the T-Mobile in u.s.a....
yes i believe i said that mobilicity/wind do not support edge.
it does support 1700/2100 for lte - that is confirmed.
trying to find out if phone can be modded to support wcdma 1700/2100
if it should then great - does anyone know how to proceed.
thanks
Tried to contact OP but haven't heard back for over a week now and just wondering if this can indeed work with Wind/Mobi network? Anyone have this workign? It "seems" like it should work...

I never did manage to get this working. I kept searching online but no info was available.
I believe it can be done, but I don't know how.
This link also confirms this but gives no further data.
http://awslookup.com/modem-flashable-phones/
*** see "Optimus G Pro (E980)" ***
Good luck and please let me know if you have success.
Cheers
I was hoping to buy this phone to use on Wind's network and save myself a few hundred instead of buying the LG's G2 (end up buying that). I tried contacting Wind and they said it needs to have both the 1700/2100 band but it seems to need something else on top of that. GL and hope you figure it out.

I've exhausted pretty much every forum and can't seem to come upon a straight answer. Hoping someone here can help.
I have a Canadian Note 2, SGH-i317M model. Stock ROM, and unlocked. I am trying to get it to work on the US AT&T LTE frequency. I previously tried to get it to work on T-Mobile following the guide on galaxynote2root.com to unlock the AWS band but I could only still get HSPA+ speeds. Inserting an AT&T sim after this still only gets my the HSPA+ speeds. From what I can gather, the modem should be present in the device but I could be wrong.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting my Note 2 to work on AT&T's 4G/LTE bands?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The modem and bands are correct out of the box for AT&T, but just like with Bell (and Rogers?) you need the LTE provisionning on whatever plan you're using. In the case of AT&T, I recall reading that the IMEI registered to the SIM in question also has to be from an AT&T LTE device. Last but not least I recall reading some MVNOs didn't offer LTE connectivity period.
I need some help! I don't know if this has been answered, I've looked and I haven't found a topic on this
I want to buy this phone on Amazon because I don't wanna add a line and I wanna use my Amazon Credit Card so I wanna buy this on there
but I'm lost of which unlocked version works with T-Mobile LTE
any help will be appreciated!
and sorry Mods if you wanna mode this thread to the Q&A Section, seems more of a question than General Information of the device, Thanks!

IIRC, and I'm only answering because I haven't seen anyone else pitch in yet, only the T-Mobile variant works completely with T-Mobile (obviously).
The next closest one is the AT&T variant, but I think I remember reading that you might not get full LTE support (dual band use) on it.
For the most part, all of the GSM variants will work on T-Mobile, but you will not get LTE connections, at the most, just 3G.
When I was searching for the G3, I remember bumping into that problem of no Tmo LTE bands on the unlocked variants.
So, I just went with the Tmo branded 851 and flushed the receipt down the toilet (after making a copy, of course )

thanks haha for the response but yeah I guess I'm gonna have to do the same!
hi all,
I am wondering if there's any way to add 4G Lte bands, I am living in Mex, near el Paso Tx. but as far as I know this phone is not capable to support 4g.
