GSM Band and WM2003

Hi,
Is there a tool similaire ton GSM Band switch working for WM2003?
I need to change the GSM freqeuncy to 1900 since i need to go in Canada with an European XDA 900/1800.
I know i can do it from the bootloader, but each time i change it i get a full reset of my device, not so great

The bandswitch tool will not make your phone a tri-band phone, it will be 100mhz off frequency when on 1900, but heres the link anyway.

making sx56 or tmobile ppc phone work on 1800 mhz networks

Hi,
is it possible to make the sx56 or tmobile ppc phone (normally 900/1900) work on the european 1800 mhz networks as well :?:
Thank you

Yes, you need to change it in the bootloader. Just select the one that has got the band you need. Don't try to change it in the phone settings, or it won't work.

Are you sure ?
I tried what you mention and it does not connect to Telstra...
I am running a 6.25 radio and an 4.01.16 TMO rom with a 5.17 bootloader.
I tried both 900 stand alone and 900/1800 but it did not work.
Any other trick ?
Thanks,
Bob.

so, has anyone ever succeeded with activating the 1800 mhz?

It's all depending on the device type ... PW10A works only for 900/1800 ... and PW10B works only for 900/1900 .... don't try the impossible!!! ... or you may permanently damage the RSU part!!!
better to get XDA II ... it's tri-band

well, I'm planning to buy one on ebay. how can I make sure, which one it is. what should I ask the seller to look for?
Thanks

is 900/1900 not only in America ?
in that case you should ask the seller to look at his address

ok, my question is if it's possible to make the american version 900/1900 to work on 1800 mhz

most countries in EU have both 900 and 1800 support
here is a list not sure if its 100% uptodate though but i doubt people are limiting the support

Yes, only if the network supports 900 MHz

Zsilak, it will work on 900 but not on 1800.

1800 mhz GSM Band Missing

I am planning on going to a GSM 1800 country soon but I only have GSM 900 & 1900 (what i'm on now) listed as choices. Is that because of my current SIM card or is there a problem with my phone?
Thanks,
Daniel

Here a file to enable the band selection.

How do I run this?

It worked-
Thanks!!

I go to the States in August. Work the Magician in the USA ?
Thanks

Depends but most probably:
If you are going to be roaming with your current SIM card then find out which network you will be roaming on- if it's T-Mobile you will be fine because all the Magicians can work on he 1900mhz band- which T-mobile is. Cingular/ATT mostly is 1900mhz also but some rural areas operate on the 850mhz band- either way you should be fine, but find out who's service you will be on to be sure.

Thanks !
I use Proximus from belgium.

by the way, how u know gsm 1800 band missing? how u check it?

in the phone: Tools | Options and the tab Band is missing.

I have the band option, but I can only choose:
GSM 900 (europe)
GSM 1900 (North America)
Even after running the program in the second post.

cong

This is the screen I am getting.

I only get
Phone, Services, Network, More
that's why I need to know how to run the program so I can get this extra
BAND option.
cheers
Con

Hrb, what kind of Magician do you have?
I'm talking about a T-Mobile MDA Compact with a standard Rom WWE 1.10
And as told: I do have the Band Tab, but I can only select:
GSM 900 (Europe)
GSM 1900 (North America)
And Cong and Castiwo, have you ran the program and softreset the Magician?

I don't know how to run the program, that is the problem

i-mate Jam strange problem

Hi,
this is the first time im working with with pdas so im totally new in this area. I bought one i-mate Jam and im using ok with one card provider, yesterday i change for other provider and i dont understand why my pda cant get network with this new provider.. i try to make a manual search and no information. the pda is brand new and i also contact the provider to see if is not barred and all is 100% ok... can someone knows if this can be fixed or have any ideia about this?
regards

For sure your unit is SIM locked. There are threads on how to unlock. Please do a search.

the pda is not locked becouse acept card without any problems... the only problem is dont get network of one provider.

What are OS ROM and Radio ROM versions in your unit? If it's an old one try to upgrade to the latest. There are a number of ROM's available in the FTP
Try your new SIM in other phones and see if it works ok. Also try borrowing from friends SIM of the same provider as your new SIM as well as SIMs from other providers.

The magician is a tri-band device build in two flavors:
- 850, 1800, 1900mHz
- 900, 1800, 1900mHz
Could it be the one provider which doesn't work is operating on a non-supported band?

hi,
i flash this pda few hours ago and i still have the same problem.. i was looking in other sites and i found something about this problem.
Exact this models have to versions:
PM10A (900-1800-1900 mhz) and PM10C (850-1800-1900mhz) and the one that i have is PM10C. I have to find one way to convert it to PM10A so then i will be able to fix this problem.

When you find the way to change a PM10C to a PM10A or vice-versa you're the man! It's hardware specific & not build in the rom :-(
M

i know someone that can make this change but dont share with no one... i cant do a lot becouse i have only PM10c in hands and i dont have any PM10A to compare the boards.

I just did a search with the keyword "850" and there are 2 pages of threads about this. All threads confirm what what OLTP mentioned - the radio frequencies are set via hardware components and no software or hack can change it. In fact, "Reo" mentioned that he modified the hardware of his unit to make it into a 900/1800/1900 MHz unit.
The 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies are used in the USA, while the 900 and 1800 MHz frequencies are used in Asia, Australia and Europe. I'm pretty sure that your new SIM supports only the 900 MHz frequency. Ask your current provider or check their website to find out what frequency they use. If your provider supports only the 900 MHz, then your last resort is to change provider again.

HTC Touch 3G T3232 WCDMA network - HELP!

Hi,
PLEEEEASE SOMEONE REPLY... OR HAVE I POSTED IT TO A WRONG FORUM.... Should I have posted it to The ROM Developers forum so someone can HELP
I am new to this forum.
I bought a HTC T3232 in Asia with HSDPA/WCDMA network supporting 900/2100 MHz and GSM/GPRS/EDGE supporting 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
I want to use the phone in Canada on the Bell HSPA network but unfortunately Bell supports only HSPA/WCDMA 850/1900 MHz
I read somewhere there is a way to unlock all the 4 frequencies on the phone for WCDMA by doing some ROM upgrade or changing some radio button, but I did not get any more info on that.
Please reply - anyone who knows how to open up all frequencies on this phone for HSPA/WCDMA
Details of my Jade can be found on the attachments (photos)
Appreciate Help
