[Q] S4 Pro radio modding?

Hi all-
just received my E970 yesterday, got it unlocked but still stock otherwise running on Rogers in Canada.
I've been reading a few threads here so far regarding rooting and the locked bootloader and some people seem to be implying that the S4 Pro chipset is an entirely software LTE radio. Does this mean that flashing a new firmware could change the LTE bands that a given phone supports?
ie: the AT&T E970 supports AWS 1700/2100 (Band 4) and 700mhz (Band 17) out of the box. Could this theoretically be loaded with software from the Rogers E971 with 2600mhz (Band 7) or the DoCoMo L-01E 2100mhz (Band 1) support? Obviously this would be baseband software not just a new OS ROM, but is it possible with the hardware or is this a non-editable function?
If anyone can provide insight or software I would be interested to test- as I am lacking the *special* 2600mhz support of the E971 here, and I do travel to HK and Japan occasionally, so support for 1800, 2100 and 2600mhz bands would be great, turning the Optimus G into a real worldphone even on LTE.

Thanks for the attitude.
I didn't say I expected to do this today, jackass. I asked if this will be technically possible as the models released appear to all have the same hardware specifications. Hopefully someone less smug, with more knowledge could provide real insight?
Sorry, should I be asking less technical, more brutally-important questions like when will Nova Launcher, or a different colour skin be available?

Just curious, where did you get your E970 from? I'm in Canada too and I would rather have the SD card slot than the extra 2600 mhz band.

:good:

That's a good question. It definitely sounds possible if you can flash the corresponding radio/modem and RIL.

It will work for calls and data but data will be 2G. AT&T uses 850/1900 frequencies for 3G and 3.5G and the E975 you found only supports 2100. So, to answer your question, 3G will simply not work.

Unlock LS980, for use in Brazil

Brought a G2 LG LS980 U.S. to Brazil, and would like to know how do I debloquea it to use here in the country,
The Phone Company that I will use is the Vivo: The frequency used by the operator, 850/1900 MHz
Vivo (Telefónica) - GSM 850/900/1800/1900 3G 850/2100MHz 2600MHz LTE
I wonder if it is possible to unlock and use the phone here with that carrier.

[Q] Verizon HTC one on ATT

Hey guys, I've looked at some threads because I wanted to know how to make my Verizon HTC one work with ATT HSPA+. I've read that its possible, but im not sure how to go about it. I've tried changing APN's witth no luck. Would appreciate some help.
Other info--
currently getting EDGE-- which is very slow (takes about 30 seconds go load up google.)
Running on SlimKat 4.4.2
S-off'd

[SIZE=+1]Q2: can I SIM unlock this phone for other carriers?[/SIZE]
The m7wlv comes SIM unlocked out of the box. It only works on certain frequencies. See if your carrier supports the below frequencies.
CDMA: 800/1900MHZ,
UMTS/HSPA: 900/2100MHz,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz,
LTE: 700MHz (Band 13)(only Verizon uses this LTE band thus far)​

Those frequencies are directly from HTC's website in the device's specs. HSPA can only work on 900 or 2100 mhz. ATT uses 850 or 1900. (Source http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=14003)

Using AT&T G3 in South Korea(LTE band & frequency question)

Hello, everyone.
So, I have a AT&T G3 with me and planning to go to South Korea and use Korea cellular carrier while I am staying there. With this, I have a question regarding whether my G3 will have LTE signal in South Korea
*(Information that I am going to write below is from both gsmarena and wikipedia)
For AT&T G3, its LTE band supports LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
The cellular company that I am planing to use is SK telecom and they support LTE band 1, 3, 5 and frequency of 850, 1800, 2100
(I will attach the screenshots of those information with this post)
With this information, would I able to use full LTE with my G3 while I am in Korea?
Appreciate your comments.

Its kinda hard to say. I thought there using lte-a
But your maybe lucky and 4g or lower but i wouldnt count on it.
It all depends on the bands. It doesnt mean because you 2100mhz to, that they use the same band to.
Just go over there sell yours if it doesnt work and buy a local g3
