so my thread is gone?..so...

Well I asked a question earlier today about receiving an HD2 and wanting to know how i find out if its a TMO usa version. There is no TMO branding on the phone, but when i start it up with my TMO sim in it..it says choose network. I have a choice of TMO or something else..dont remember..started with a T i think.....So..what version phone do I have ..and why was my thread deleted? in the first place. I think I have a legit question.
thankyou

settings tab - about phone - hardware info-flash size.
if it says 1024 its a tmous however more direct hints are.... is it from t mobile usa? does it have red and green start and end buttons? if no, then its not.

yeah ok it says flash size is 512. So this isnt a Tmo usa version. It was given to me today from someone at HTC, so i didnt know what version it is...so it works with my TMO sim..but no 3g I assume....
So is there a serial number or something so I can find out exactly what model I have?
thankyou

Just so you know, your other thread wasn't deleted. It's there... had a couple replies, too. You can click on your name and go to your info page... from there there is links to see all your posts. That's an easy way to find threads that you started or posted in.

look in the back of the phone, if it doesnt have the nextG/Telstra branding below the battery cover, then it's a T8585. If it does, then it's a T9193. And like others have said, TmoUS version has a big-ass T-mobile logo right below the earphone with green/red call/hang-up buttons (not to mention flash size of 1024MB).

You mean this thread here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667930 .Why do you think it has been deleted?
WB

I searched for that thread and couldnt find it....even searched my user name and it didnt come up?..of course i could be losing my mind, which Im ok about.

Ok..so back of phone has nothing...and under the battery is just the ime,s/n and p/n. But i dont see a model number.
Unbranded?

VERY informative! I had the same question.
As far as I know, there is no way to get GSM working.

this specific G900 has been the topic of quandary quite a bit today. I havent been able to find a solution for this one yet, but its likely a radio firmware limitation. Im pretty sure that it has the physical capability to run on GSM, but nobody has figured out how to get it working yet. This model isnt a good choice for GSM as of yet. We need a developer who is quite a bit smarter than I to figure the radio firmware hurdles

where is 901F section?

I assume g900f roms wont work on the 901F? but I cannot find a 901F section, am I screwed for custom samsung based rom support?
I wanted to use neatrom in particular.
My fear is I wont even have any kernels to choose from.
The 900f is really hard to get hold of here as its now considered obsolete.

The issues is compared to the 900f the 901f is a very small userbase. more devs have got the 900f they also know the 900f will be better supported

thats some good old fashioned lies there

By obselete I mean no longer sold.
The biggest carrier in the UK only ships 901f's now. At least thats what I have been told, since the phone is arriving later today I will know soon.

Absolutely Not, now in europe (France / germany / UK ...) only 901F is sold (because it got 4G+ and they start to do 4G+ in europe, at tv they do the pub for the '' 4G+'')
I already asked in the ''*** New Device Forum Requests ***'' But i don't know if XDA read it ...
901F got various threads now and it would be more easy for us if we have a section for us ...
there is a ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-simplegx-rom-v1-0-0-t2971815

My point was compared to the global version theres not a lot, 901f vs 900f
theres clearly more 900f users. maybe xda doesnt see the small amount of 901f users enough for adding a forum but i could be wrong, but also just because theres threads doesnt mean its in high enough demand

Did XDA wait for lots of users before adding 900F section's, I see posts in 900F section before 900F even in shops. So your point seems invalid.

no because the 900f was the global gsm model. and a flagship so it automatically got a forum. the verizon and at&t didnt even arrive then.

at&t verizon etc. arent global, what qualifies them and not g901f?

I totally agree with you chrcol. I've also already post in the "***New Device Forum Request***" a few months ago, but still to no avail...
Why not ask for a common thread with the SM-G906 S5 models which are also using a snapdragon 805 ?
And I confirm that here in France, SM-G901F is what is most sell over the SM-G900F...

as theyre a variation of the f using the same hardware. more developers own the device so they were asked for and recived

just saying you can confirm, doesnt confirm anything, you need sources to confirm.
listen my answers arent to the question "why will we never get a section" its a reply to the question "where is the section"
the suggestions i have put forwards arent untrue the 900f is the bigger smartphone, that maybe why the 901f doesnt have a section.
tl:dr if you dont like hearing answers you dont like maybe you shouldn't ask questions in a forum where you'll be answered honestly

In Europe 901F is sold, so the number will increase more and more, due to the 4g+ deployment by operators. Why pissing on European like that ? ... not cool ...

Ouch! Did I Totally Buy the WRONG Note?

Bought a N-910S. That's what's floating around these parts, was a good deal, didn't think much of it.
But after the usual trip to XDA to find a good debloated, fancified Touchwiz based latest and greatest, I come to see ....
Not much of anything.
It's all 910C, 910H, whatever, but no 910S. Yikes. Yikes?!
What gives? Googled, searched, read, can't figure it out. No love for the 910S? Do I need to open my living room window super wide and throw this thing as far as I can? What will happen to the 5.1 update, and me-never-ever-getting-it?
Omg. Stop me from going crazy right now. Shed some light on this totally human life existential drama question.

Surely you jest. I would rather have the S version than the H version. At least you get LTE unlike me with my H version.

Well ... no LTE-A on any of the prepaid carriers here.
What about ROMs? Does nobody know? I quietly wonder if ROMs from any other 910x might work but not finding answers via search.

The N910S is the equivanlent of the N910F in South Korea. There's not much info about it in internet, they seem to be the same device hardware-wise. They both use the same SoC and Modem so maybe N910F roms are cross-compatible with your device (They MAY be compatible or may not, If you want to use a N910F rom, do It at your own risk. Remember that a different rom in a non-compatible device would result in a hardbrick so be carefull). Download a N910F custom rom, delete the "modem" folder and flash it to your device via CWM, it may work.

Good one appreciate the insight. Though... worried about hard brick.
They have to be selling millions of these 910s. This one came straight from Korea, s/l must be a big market. Odd that there'd be no demand and supply of ROM goodness, yea?

Possible to unlock without account details?

Recently got this phone online from Ebay, did not realize that the phone was locked to sprint. Can it be unlocked without account details?

What do you mean under it? Is it locked to the carrier Sprint? (sorry, but I'm not familiar with the phone carriers outside my country)
Edit: if yes, then you may find this link useful
https://itoolab.com/unlock-sim/sim-unlock-software/#w2
It contains some info about softwares that can unlock the device. I haven't tested them yet, bc I didn't have any situations where I faced with an issue like this.
I hope this helps, if no, then we'll come up with other ideas.
