Getting 3G and voice on a Tmobile Tab [Updated Nov 22,2010]

What I'm running:
Tmobile Tab with Euro firmware and Simple Mobile SIM (Uses Tmobile's infrastructure)
AT&T Tab with Euro firmware and an AT&T SIM from my Nexus One
This what I know:
The Euro radio.bin allows voice calls but not 3G internet, just EDGE
The Tmo US radio.bin allows 3G internet but no voice calls
The Bell Canada radio.bin allows only 2G, no 3G and no voice calls
The Vibrant T959UVJK2 radio allows voice and 2G internet but: when going through the service menu it allows selecting 1700/2100 WCDMA.
Edit:
1700 is the correct choice for AWS 1700/2100 FDD IV band.
2100 is for Europe FDD I band only.
It looks as if its trying to use UMTS instead of AWS in that state, so it never gets a 3G lock. Its close though.
Edit: AWS is UMTS-FDD Band IV, so the reference to UMTS is valid.
We need more AWS based radio.bin files! The Vibrant is AWS, so whats making it not use UTMS? Perhaps the country code. Originally mine was KOR, now I'm hacked to XEU, perhaps we need to be TMB? Whats the code on a Tmobile Vibrant?
Edit: Naa, its just the radio, the AT&T success pretty much proves it.
Conclusion:
We need a capable radio.bin. Would someone from Samsung please leak one to me
AFAICT, only the original US radio.bin is capable of activating the hardware for the 3G circuitry on a Tmobile Tab.
The AT&T Tab gets 3G by using the radio from an i9000, which hasn't been distributed in an AWS band version.
Everyone: Keep your eye out for new Samsung AWS compatible phones and firmware.
Notes:
I have flashed many Vibrant and Captivate radio.bin files, all work as well as the European ones.
I can flash new radio.bin files right from my Tab over adb using redbend_ua so goodbye to Odin and Windows, whoo!
Don't drink and flash! I spent 4 hours unbricking my Tab because I got cocky with redbend_ua. So don't try flashing the factoryfs.rfs while you're still running your Tab from the factoryfs.rfs
How I use it (properly):
Code:
#copy redbend_ua to /sdcard, install redbend from adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
cp /sdcard/redbend_ua /system/xbin/
redbend_ua restore /sdcard/modem.bin /dev/block/bml12
The redbend_ua flash memory writer app:

The most useful radio.bin files:
View attachment modem-eurotab-jk5.bin.zip
View attachment modem-tmobile.bin.zip
View attachment radio-vibrant-JK2.bin.zip
WARNING! If you make a typo and flash the wrong area of block memory, like say bml1, don't cry to me if your device is trashed!
I would like to get various Vibrant radio dumps if someone would be so kind to do so. The command from adb shell is:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/bml12.dump bs=4096
Lets discuss what we've tried in this thread.
Misc notes:
I screwed up my Tab flashing a rebuilt firmware based off the US dumps. I screwed up the Tab, no boot. I re-flashed JK5, no luck, it just hung/vibrated at the Samsung logo. I went into recovery, and saw an error about the dbdata partition, so I grabbed JJ4, found dbdata.rfs in one of the tar.md5 files, pulled it out, tarred it, then flashed it alone in Odin. Bam! It booted back up!

Chat:
I'm going to hang out on #galaxytab since its quiet there. If you just need clarification on something, ask me there. I know everyone is getting confused with all the SIM/Band/US/Euro/ROM combinations. That will hopefully end soon.

good idea for this thread, there are 2 other threads out there and looking over both of them to get an answer is a pain, hopefully we can get everyone together on this thread alone to get better results.

Hi,roto i got the euro model of the tab using simplemobile like you, is there a way for me to get 3g working? Or do we have to wait for someone like yourself an advance user to make something for it.

no one has been able to get the 3g to work at the moment, roto is trying to get the Rogers/Bell/AT&T/Asian radio.bin to see if can work around it, so just sit back and wait and keep checking the forum.

You said you have the euro model meaning its a European tab?
if so you can just pop in a att sim card and you will have phone plus 3g

You wont ever get 3g working with Simple Mobile with European hardware. But, you may get 3g if you switch to AT&T or H2O. Keep us posted.

I just got my Tab from T-Mobile. I popped in my voice/data sim from my Blackberry and data works on 3G(Normal?).
Next thing is to drop the ROM before I do anything to it.
roto, do I have to root in order to drop the ROM?
I will use the instructions you gave me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9266166&postcount=177
I will edit this post with my updates.

Yes i do get 3G using my girl AT&T sim card, but as you all know that At&T plans are expensive and that's one of the reason i got out of my iphone4 contract and got with simplemobile · but believe it or not the speed of EDGE on simplemobile is not that bad.maybe is because the phone is fast or the browser i don't know,but my speed was much shower on AT&T 3G lol.

The latency on Simple Mobile (T-Mobile) is half of that on AT&T, so it feels almost as good as 3G. Basically, now that I can compare, AT&T isn't as good as I once thought.
The dealer I got my Simple Mobile SIM from also carried H2O, which is similarly priced.
I was In Manhattan last week, was in a coffee shop with 5 bars on H (Nexus One AT&T) and It took over a minute to complete a simple Google search, it just kept hanging.

do i have to unlock the phone first before putting euro rom on it or vice versa
also i was following your instructions on unlocking
got root explorer copy efs folder to sd card
got hex editor from market
pulled the file into hex editor
but i cant find 0x180069
is it almost at the bottom andis there an easier way to find it rathr then just scrolling through the whole thing

No, you only unlock if you need to use a different carriers SIM.
From the menu, use "Jump To Address" and put in 180000

ok thanks for the quick reply

Haven't got one yet. If it doesn't allow for dialing, it won't matter anyway. I'm working on creating my own custom radio.bin right now.
Note: My first post is getting big, so try not to quote the whole thing when you reply. Go back and clean your post, maybe keep a sentence or two

HSPA?

Ok who's got the trick to make the phone report what radio frequencies it can do? I have a bunch of Android codes that make phones do certain things, but none of them work on the streak.
I am trying to find out what my device is capable of since there are too many threads out there that say it can and it can't... i.e. hspa....
anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler?

No idea on the codes mate, sorry.
But if you were asking if it does Hsdpa.. I can confirm it does.
Apologies if I misread ur question tho
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dell Streak - Froyo 2.2 - Optus® Australia

have you a look in your system/build.prop
also do you have EMlist enabled? Engineering Mode?
try this one *#4636#*#* (*#INFO#*#*)
definetly does HSPA , mine is set at the highest settings as far as I know,
best I've seen so far was wabout 2.5Mbps download on ATT
havent checked wi-fi yet.

Ok that code worked, and in phone info section, I am currently set to GSM auto (PRL). You're on ATT... the question is about whether or not the device will do HSPA on Tmobile's network. Currently I only get EDGE.
FYI the correct code turned out to be *#*#4636#*#*

Hey Lord60,
Are you in US? If Yes, I would be also interested in getting Streak to work on TMo-US's HSPA network (offcourse if hardware supports it). I think (not 100% sure) EMlist has a option to see all UMTS supported by phone. May be way to even select/set them.
If you find any info, please share it and I will do the same.
I've been asking Dell, if their new unlocked version will work on TMo-US's 3G network. And no one seems to know it.
I already have Streak but like in your case, only works on EDGE.
Thanks!

Im pretty sure it supports the Tmobile 3G band,
I think there may be a thread somewhere, I will check later and report anything I find.

first comment says it works for him... I know it could be fake.
but Streak is QuadBand,
you may need EMList and manually input select the band.
Im 99% sure you can do Tmobile 3G

http://androidandme.com/2010/04/news/dell-streak-5-gets-fcc-approval-in-t-mobile-version/
and from what else I find...
looks like the beta Tmobile versions supported 3G, and now only UK versions will support tmo 3G, and Dell "says" ATT locked versions dont have support for Tmo 3G.... I would say try an unlock code first, the radios should al be the same.. if you get tmo 2g, Im pretty sure they left the tmo 3g radio in there as well.

The Streak is quad band gsm. That's 2G speeds. TMo 3G speeds work on AWS 1700 band. There were only a handful of beta phones with those specs. If you're looking to flash a whole new Rom including the radio frequencies then I guess it's possible. There are some really talented people here. Dell already has FCC clearance for the AWS version but hasn't released it to the public yet, if ever.

Hey chrisrotolo, I bought Streak back in September w/o AT&T contract and got it unlocked by calling AT&T.
When I put my TMo sim card, it only works on EDGE/2G. It never worked on 3G.
I've seen a screen shot of EMList which shows you and may be lets you select UMTS bands, but in Mr. Steve's 1.5.1, EMList is not included i believe.
When Dell recently announced Unlocked Streak (back in November), there were rumors that it might work on TMo-US 3G network. So far no one seems to know for sure.
So guess we are out of luck, as of yet!
Thank you for the reply though!

Hey Streakr, I always thought that radio frequencies has to do with the hardware and not with ROM.
Now that you mentioned its controlled on the ROM side, I wonder how easy/difficult it is to support this on Mr. Steve's ROM.
May be Mr. Steve could answer it for us.
Thanks for the info though.

Yeah I am unable to get EMList on dJ_steve's 1.5.1, you could ask him to bake it in Im sure, but I can get some cell info stuff when selecting >shortcut>bettercut>all applications....
I would love to find a list of AT&T's (or T-Mobile's in your case) full list of USSD codes or MMI Codes ( eg.*1234# dialer codes), for network, service and diagnostic stuff. I am sure it would be very easy to screw something up with those codes as well.
maybe even some fastboot codes...
I found this link on gsmhosting, anyone know any more of these codes, you can enter from keypad on fastboot screen?
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f606/dell-streak-secret-codes-p-1113827/
I dont know if you can access any of the mobile networs through settings and manually configure it through APN or manual network operator.
cheers!

From what I have been told the radio frequencies are set by the manufacturers. The hardware is capable of doing any of the operators frequencies but how each is set I'm not sure of. I have heard of people who have claimed to have changed a EU version phone to a US version phone including the carrier settings. This is way behold me.

I have an expired AT&T SIM, which I just put in my T-Mobile tab and it registered on the network with HSDPA (Tab set to WCDMA only, HSDPA listed in settings/about/status). AT&T was the only network listed in wireless settings. Of course I couldn't do anything online, but I would have bet against a 3G connection. This is with the stock modem.bin that get 3G on T-Mobile.

hi everyone, im buying a tmobile galaxy tab, the euro model, i want the phone and 3g to work..
i have a g2 right now and plan on using my tmobile sim[has data/voice]
will i be able to use the tab as a phone and have 3g with my sim? sorry if theres a thread on this but ive google searched and xda searched and cant find my answer.. thanks

I followed the above link to get my G1 T-Mobile SIM working on my tab.
As far as buying a euro-based tab to get 3g and phone usage, I don't think that will work. I will assume you are in the States. And from what I understand, it has to do with the technology in the infrastructure used in the States.
Buying a euro-based tab will do the same as buying a us-based tab and flashing a euro-based rom (if you are in the States). Your phone will only work over 2g. It really isn't a big deal, just grab Roto's modem switcher.

thank you. is this something that can be a possibility in the future[voice,3g,euro tab]?? i will install the modem switcher when im done putting this new rom on.. edge is pretty horrible but the phone calling is cool..
also if i have the modem switched to 3g on, will people be able to still call me ??

Anything is possible with open-source. Besides, look at how much has been accomplished in the short amount of time since the tabs release. I am just happy with the nice roms developed so far and the fact we can talk. Give it some time.
When you are on 3g, the phone functionality is basically dead. With that being said, Roto's modemswitcher is a nice little script.

Euro Tab can not be used with Tmobile 3G network....even with 3G only....it will only does 2G+Voice
I have one, and I am regret having it......no way to turn on the band frequencies of 1700 and 2100 together....for a moment I thought I was successfully did 1700 and 2100.....but no, I did not......when I went into detail of the modem, it said (900 mhz band) not 1700...
You can never get 1700 on any Samsung Tab beside the Tmobile one. I think I am switching to ATT real soon

3g works great for me thu..im even getting h also..just got to flash to overcomes kernel and rom den use roto..my tab is def international my charger is weird as hell lol(euro plug)

After Everything I have tried. I believe that your Tab is a Tmobile Tab.....If it is, It will say Tmobile in the front and the back of the Tab....also the model is
SGH T849
The European one is the Model of GT-P1000....and there is no Mark of Tmobile or any Carriers in it....You must have been mistaken.....Even Rotohammer Confirmed that the European Is not Capable of Tmobile 3G....or Please send me your pictures ?
For your confirmation on Rotohammer saying that ...here

Your device saying GT-P1000 is because u installed the Rom of GT-P1000 to enable 2G+voice. Tmobile on the back is the evidence of the Tab being from Tmobile
Samsung made it Exclusively for Tmobile with a special Tmobile Radio Amplifier.......The international version is what I have now......it Can not be on Tmobile 3G network

[Q] T-Mobile Mytouch 4G stuck on EDGE ?!

Hey hey long time no see,
I have a problem only you guys can fix. Please please please tell me some one has a solution.
My US T-Mobile Mytouch 4G is stuck on Edge... but I am using a Pre-Paid At&t sim card, everything works its just stuck on Edge. I this normal ? I dont think so. Any ideas ?

Try a different rom.
Go to Cyanogen7 then a GB Sense rom.
If its still the same, then it's a hardware issue.

Do you really think its a ROM issue ?
Ill give it try if i can get some reasoning behind it.

That's what I'm trying to find out man. Switch roms, if the issue is still there in a gingerbread rom, then it is definitely a hardware issue.

this is completely normal and changing the roms will not help you. the reason is that tmobile and att use different frequencies for their 3g networks tmobile uses 1700/2100MHz and att uses 850/1900MH. So youre probably wondering "well then why can't I get 4G connectivity with my htc glacier on the att network?"
well the reason is that when upgrading their networks to HSPA+, both carriers tmobile and att retained these spectrums 1700/2100MHz and 850/1900MHz respectively for the deployment of their 4G. so you will never be able to get better than edge speeds with the htc glacier on the att network. this is the difference between AWS spectrum and the LTE spectrum.
you’ll be able to make calls send texts, and surf the web (since the 2G frequencies are all the same for each carrier)
but you won’t get 3G no matter how hard you try. The device simply can’t see the necessary frequencies.
t-mobile announced that they are now test running att's frequencies on their network, so certain att phones are able to get 3g connectivity on the tmobile network but not the other way around.
if you want a great price on pay as you go service for the mytouch 4g that isn't t-mobile check out www.simplemobile.com they offer cheap pay-go plans that work on tmobiles networks, i have a sim from them for one of my glaciers, 40 bucks a month unlimited talk text web. however after the first 1GB of data they will throttle you down speedwise. you can pay for additional if you want to.
bottom line is, dont expect to get anything other than edge speeds with that device on att's networks. not gonna happen.​
