Tmobile 3G on International Edition (GT-P1000)

I am testing the International Edition of the Samsing Tab (GT-P1000, with the phone functionality built in out-of-the-box and the white backplate). Here in the US, when I insert an AT&T SIM card I get 3G speeds (peaked at 6 MB downstream recently), but when I insert a Tmobile SIM card I seem to only get EDGE speeds (not 3G, around 0.1 MB downstream). The Tmobile SIM card works at 3G speeds on another phone, so I know it's not he SIM card. I can get voice calls on both Tmobile and AT&T with no problem.
Does the International Edition (GT-P1000) have the US 3G Tmobile bands?
Any input is welcome, thanks.

Welcome to the fray. Grab a beer and get comfy... because the Euro version does not play with TMobile's 3G network in the US.
If you are technically inclined, it seems we could use some more hands trying to figure out a fix for this issue.

The T-Mobile Tab does not have the hardware to support European 3G bands... That's why I believe the euro firmware people are flashing only works for voice/edge on T-Mob...

That would make sense that the International (Euro) version does not have US Tmobile 3G bands... it makes me wonder if the limitation is in the hardware or software.
Do we have any indication that the limitation is in the software, other than the fact that a US Tmobile version exists?

I am certainly no authority on any of this, but this looks to be incorrect. From my reading of the posts on this issue... the Euro version of the Tab (specifically, its modem.bin file) isn't set to work with TMobile's 3G network as the that network operates on a frequency that isn't used in Europe.
User rotohammer looks to have the most knowledge on what it is going to take to make this happen -- but keep in mind that most of us have TMobile Tabs and are needing a solution with that fact in mind. The general thought was that we could use the firmware from a Euro version to give us voice-calling capability, and then hack-in support for TMobile's 3G network.
sheesh, I wish I would have paid attention in school because I want to be a bit more useful with all of this.

According to what I have figured Out....it disappointed me too, But!!
GT-P1000 is not capable of running 3G Tmobile network
The Hardware CPU, Radio Chip...is capable and is switchable to the band of 1700/2100 MHZ.
The Radio Amplifier is not Capable of 1700/2100 MHZ bands....so us who have International Version of the Tab is Screwed!!!
The proof = I flashed my GT-P1000 using Tmobile Modem to switch and ENABLE 1700/2100....I can only have Edge+Voice...when I flash to T849 modem....the Tab gives No Signal
if the GT-P1000 was capable of handling 1700/2100 Bands easily then my Tab should do 3G only by using T849 TMobile Tab modem Bin
I am a google nooby and is doing what I could....those are what I found out...seem like I have to sell my GT-p1000 Soon.

Or switch to at&t and 3g & voice work

This is the only way...yeah...wait til TMobile release Phone + data on tab...or switch to ATT
The international version and the ATT tab is about the same....the 1700 mhz band is shot out.....
Samsung exclusively included 1700 for US tmobile just as they exclusively make cdma tab for the sprint and verizon.......
No hope....m selling mine, or return to the place i bought from and lose 200 usd
****If buying this tab for phone call and edge only***** I rather go for the Ipad 2 or Iphone 5 in a few months
US tmobile have a unique stupid bands on their 3G....and all of the phones or tabs they have suck monkey *****....

Hi everyone I was reading Motohammers post in the developers form about being able to get 3G on a GT-P1000.
My question is this... It's my friends tab and I am not able to get 3G at all. He doesn't care about being able to use the phone, but would like to use 3G data if he is out of wifi.
info in the tab:
firmware= 2.2
baseband= P1000XXJHA
Kernel ver= 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
build number= FROYO.XXJMA
I followed Rotohammers T-Mobile Modem Switcher, but am getting
stderr: Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/
redbend_ua: No such file or directory
stderr: /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua: not found
I followed the directions exactly and still no go... followed another guys post to install files on the internal sd card and still can't get 3G to come up no matter what.
The SIM card I am using is from a Galaxy Captivate S with voice and Data (6gig plan) on Rogers....
Any ideas?
Thanks very much!
M.

@fishguyis
Have you tried flashing a Rogers modem? At the end of your post you say you are using a voice/data sim on Rogers, not sure if you have tried this or if it will even work but as far as I know if you flash a modem that doesn't work you just won't have a signal, and you can just flash back to a modem with signal, if you got the modem switcher working and you just don't get a signal or if you only get edge, most of the time you can rename another modem to match roto's modem name in the switcher and swap the modem you want to flash with the modem that roto includes with the switcher, like if you want to try a Rogers modem just rename it to match and swap with roto's included 3g modem, I hope that is not to confusing I can't think of any other way to explain it, I hope this helps in anyway and I hope you get it working.

hey what worked for me is i put the modemswitch folder into the INTERNAL memory[main folder] and i also put the switch.sh file into INTERNAL..
iono why it wasnt working on my external SD[got same errors as you] but once i did this...everything worked fine and i didnt get the error you got.
let me know if that helps you. as of right now my modemswitch folder is still located in my internal memory and i can switch back and forth easily.
edit- didnt see that u did this already. umm try to do it a few times. last night it wasnt switching for me.. so i charged the tab all the way up, switched my wifi off and did it again this morning and it switched for me..

Hey magnum,
I have tried at least 50+ times hitting the switch shortcut and i always get the same error...
I noticed in the post there was a problem with the switch.sh file from the OP but he said he fixed it... I re-downloaded the zip and tried everything again and still get the same error. ARGH getting frustrated LOL

idk, try to switch over to the overcome rom/kernel[if you haven't already] and try it that way if you want the 3g..
i must say the euro tab is nice and the 3g works good, i was video chatting earlier with no lag and even hit H speeds, not sure the big difference between 3g and H tho.
oh yeah my sim was from my tmo vibrant/g2 so it seems like we have the same set up, just dont understand why you are getting that error.
oh heres the info for my tab

I am not sure if this makes a difference but the GT is from Bell Mobility and if I go to "wireless/network", "mobile Networks", network mode, I get GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
GSM only
WCDMA only
Does that mean there is no 3G available at all?
Thanks for your patience, I have been reading like crazy...

So you are saying that you have Tmobile 3G on your TAB International Version GT-p1000 ? If so Please let me know what you did to have it ?

I think I may have a problem here....I flashed my Tab with the JJI latest firmware from Samfirmware....and I failed to reflash it to another PDA....I doubt that I could reflash everything to what u have now
What makes you have the 3G anyway ? is it the modem ? or is it the Rom ? Kernel

[Q] Putting D801(tmous) variant on ATT?

So I was looking over the difference between D800 (ATT) and D801 (TMOUS) and it seems that the reception difference is D800 has an LTE band 5 and the D801 has an 3G band of 1700. Whats the practical difference in reception? Seems like att is starting to grow band 5, and 1700 is tmobile. I travel to some remote areas and I think tmobile works there and att struggles (not sure at least it did 2 years ago), but do like the idea of freely switching between the two without having a tradeoff. will probably start with straight talk for att but will switch to the tmous if i cant get service where i move.
Please share thoughts on the best strategy...
thank you

From my own, uninformed research I think we will be fine taking the T-mobile LG G2 (d801) to AT&T.
Looking at the information below taken from Phone Arena, the LTE band 5 isn't in all AT&T LTE phones
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-One-X-LTE_id7376

Going off of this research I've ordered the D801 but It is possible I can turn out to be wrong.

This explains it more
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...y-compatible-with-atts-lte-and-hspa-networks/

I'm currently using the Tmobile version on ATT and haven't had any issues so far. The only problem I'm having is it appears there is substantially less support for the Tmobile version.

The D801 CM maintainer was out of county apparently and I'm guessing he held off on uploading everything since he's been gone for a couple weeks and didn't want to push something that would be broken for weeks by chance. We'll start seeing a good bit of roms in the coming weeks and by everything moving to KitKat we'll be in as good of shape as any other device since our devices are plenty similar to each other.

LG G2 d801 (t-mobile) with AT&T straight talk activation help...
I just tried to activate my factory unlocked lg g2 d801 with straight talk with at&t. I set my APN up for the at&t network and used the at&t sim card that came with the straight talk bundle. Now on the lock screen it says invalid SIM card.
What do I have to do to make my phone work? Thanks in advance!

I borked phone flashing a T Mobile based ROM on my canadian G2 (since they both are the D801; by personal research I've observed the D803 works as intended on my canadian D801). I will try later today to flash yet again another T Mo rom on it, but this time I'll flash back the stock kernel. I'll report back.
Just to play it safe, I'd reflash your stock kernel... that way it won't act funny all of a sudden along the way.

Thanks, but I haven't rooted my phone and don't really intend to unless I absolutely need to. It's factory unlocked right out of the box.

It turns out Verizon was holding things up. I'm so happy I'm leaving them.
I tried setting up my APN, but now I can't download or view any media or picture texts in messenger or hangouts. Any suggestions?

LTE on AT&T with D801?
I can't seem to find a clear answer on whether it's possible to get LTE indication and speed on a D801 (TMo) used on AT&T.
Tech Support is giving me the "we can't guarantee data speeds on non-AT&T-branded phones".
This thread seems to say a TMo-branded phone (LG G2 in my case) CAN be provisioned for LTE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506590
Most other threads say no, or there's no conclusion in the thread.
Can anyone give me the straight answer and tell me how to go about it? A way to get past the stone-walling AT&T techs?

I have H2O which uses AT&T's network but only HSPA+ and not LTE but the phone sees AT&T's LTE network when searching for networks.
In this thread there is a screenshot of a T-Mobile phone getting LTE indication on the AT&T network.

Along with a lot of confusion about why his phone was working on LTE. As a relative newb to this stuff I couldn't make any sense of it.
Also in that thread was this comment:
T-Mobile devices support ALL AT&T and T-Mobile bands, except LTE Band 5 (used by AT&T in a few rural areas). What's wrong is AT&T turns off LTE for non-AT&T devices. You have to call them up and give them the IMEI # of an AT&T-branded device (even if it's not yours and even if your SIM isn't in it/you don't plan on using it). They don't check after that.

[Q] Help!! Verizon Branded S5

I decided to follow a buddies advise and save $100 and order a verizon s5 instead of ordering a no brand, unlocked one on ebay. it is basically the same phone for specs and what not, just verizon bloated. So, i bought it and called att and got the sim card activated with the phone and now my phone has data and phone. my problelms are this:
I want to get rid of all the bloat stuff
I cant use the tethering on anything because it wants a verizon subscription and i am with att.
my data speed isnt the 4g/LTE that i should be getting. according to the att rep, PROBABLY because it is a verizon phone. i get H+ speed,
which a buddy tells me is basically "3.5G".....lol
i have been able to get root access as one of the fellow techs at the shop is pretty good with this stuff. but he tells me that everything he sees/knows,
it cant be done because of the bootloader they used.
is there anything i can do to be able to do the tethering and get my speeds up? that at least would be suff!! i am a computer tech so i can follow some direction if you
can just point me in the right direction, i would be ever so grateful. thanks in advance....

i have done some research and found this tool called safestrap. LOVING IT! was able to get it installed and working with little to no effort. downloaded a couple of roms and loaded them into a rom slot(not stock) and everything is what i wanted with the exception of my data speed. still cant seem to get the 4g/lte working no matter what. ATT claims it is because it is a verizon phone...most likely. got the bloat stuff off and the tethering is working now. only issues now is the damn data speed. connected to wifi most of the time but when i am not, wow...is it alot slower than usual. any help on that would be great!! thanks again peeps....your site is AWESOME!!!

I read on one site that you can actually switch S5s to other CSC codes by loading the desired stock firmware and using Kies. It said Kies sees the mismatched CSC and uses the one loaded instead of the device's. I haven't tried it, but I was wondering if anyone has?

i have not tried this as i am new to the whole modding my phone thing. would be curious if this would work. i am loving most of the roms on here.

Should I leave it as a Verizon variant or convert it?

Hello,
I just moved back home to Guam a few weeks ago from Colorado and I am wondering how I should go about getting service in Guam.
After I pay off my Wife's and I services with Verizon I want to try and connect it with the carriers here. To my understanding, after I pay Verizon the early termination fees etc, the phones should be unlocked*carrier unlocked*?
The phones in question are the HTC 10*mine* and S7 Edge*wife's*, we spoke with Verizon before we left, they told us that the phones are unlocked already and wouldn't have any issues using other carriers.
Should I change the HTC 10 to the Unlocked variant is this even possible? I've read about unlocking it to T-mobile or ATT etc so should I leave it and see what my local carriers can do or should I get it in an unlocked carrier state?
Before we left I used a Sprint variant of the M7, lots have changed since then, I didn't have to do anything to change the MID etc, I was sorta gimped on Data connection, but that was a few years ago, NO 4g LTE, but now the local carriers are on it.
Thanks for your time

If you stay with Verizon, keep the stock software. Also you're already sim-unlocked.
If you change to a GSM carrier, not sure the VZW software will work or not but you can definitely "convert" it to the U.S Unlocked version. That's the easiest/safest way since both phones have the same MID. You'll need S-off ($25).

I am S-off already.
Would being U.S unlocked be a viable option to not have issues trying to connect with local carriers?

First, great info above me. 2nd, you could actually go ahead and superCID and run latest 1.96.617.20 US Unlocked RUU. I'd say the best method is to try them out, RUU or firmware. If on a custom ROM and say chose VZW, you'd have to flash again and chose US unlocked. If you are on stock ROM then I'd try and see if it works as vzw says. If not I'd flash The Us unlocked firmware (modified for vzw you may need the radio.img and cardio.img that is normally removed). Best of luck my friend. I hope all goes well!

Will I have issues flashing viper after SuperCID?
OR should I go down to my carrier and try my luck as the device stands?
Thanks a lot!

No issues at all. Supercid, basically makes it so you can flash any firmware and other things like RUU from other carriers like us unlocked -- (so make sure you know what you're flashing!!!) .
I'm not sure of your carrier or what they'd say. I'd honestly play it by ear and see what happens. I have faith that with the 10 you will be able to get everything working; although I can't say for sure.

Would being U.S unlocked be a viable option to not have issues trying to connect with local carriers?

I'm using a Verizon phone flashed with Unlocked ruu on a GSM network. The conversion improved the phone for me. Better reception in my area, able to connect to more lte bands, txt msgs come/go faster, and the initial connection to the network after boot up or getting outta airplane mode is much faster since I got away from VZW stock software. Also you get OTA updates as they become available, and you don't have to deal with Verizon's worthless software modifications like no battery saver mode, Wi-Fi notifications, etc if you're gonna stay stock.

Flashing the Unlocked firmware is your best bet. The only thing I'll add is that if possible find out what bands are being used by the carriers over there, and see if its compatible.
HTC 10 Unlocked Band Support:
LTE Bands FDD 2,3,4,5,7,12,13,17,29; 2G GSM/GPRS/EDGE - 850/900/1800/1900; 3G UMTS - 850/AWS/900/1900/2100; LTE - FDD - B28/B12/B13/B17/B29/B20/B5/B4/B3/B2/B1/B30/B7.

I want to convert my verizon htc 10 to international version
Guys, do you know how can i possibly convert my Verizon HTC 10 to works the same as the global unlocked phone? I'm so sad with the verizon version, I got weak signal in my country and barely reach to 4G LTE network. Most of the time I can only use 3G and some features also not work I'm trying to read lots of forums and watch youtube, but still couldn't get what I want! Plz let me know.
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Did you even bother to read this entire thread? Did you search on the forum? This question has been answered (and you didn't need to start a new thread).

Any ideas?

The installer installs prerequisites first. Then launches the installer. Did you get that far?

Okay I am trying again now...
It's going further than it did the other time..
It gave me error 155 and 170.. even with a full battery...
So I can just RUU the U.S Unlocked version and and try and use the radios, if not I can just flash back the VZW RUU with no ill effects?
SuperCID to 11111111....

If on Verizon you won't get any service on unlocked without Verizon radios. Why not just flash a custom rom?

Nothing preventing you to convert from VZW to U.S Unlocked, as long as you're s-off. I'm running Unlocked Oreo on my VZW variant.

How Do You Get 4G LTE from AT&T on SM-G935V?

Hello, I'm a bit new to all this, so please bear with me if I sound a bit out of the know. I currently have a SM-G935V, from Verizon of course, but I recently switched to AT&T as they have better service for me, however, the best connection I seem to get at the moment is H+ (it switches from 3G to H and H+ but I know for a fact that there is 4G LTE in my area). Not sure exactly what to do in order to get consistent 4G LTE. I have called to troubleshoot with technical support; we set up a few APN's, but to no avail. Would flashing the SM-G935U firmware help me at all, or am I doomed from the start since I have the Verizon variant (they claim that all of their LTE phones are unlocked)? Also, I heard that for the US version of the phone they will not let you flash anything on them. Is that true? Thanks for any help or advice in advance, I greatly appreciate it!

I'm not 100% sure AT&T is included but you can try following the instructions and flashing Jrkruse's U Firmware ROM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3603231

Thanks! Just an update for anyone who reads this thread having the same problem. Flashing the U firmware did in fact do the trick, but sadly I am not getting HD calling. Data works on LTE just fine though.
