[Q] Galaxy Y Duos, GT-S6102B (changing Modem/Phone)

Hi Team,
I'm from Colombia...
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos (S6102B), It Came with Gingerbread 2.3.6.
Version Kernel: 2.6.35.7 se.infra_AT_Sign_SEI-44 # 1.
Number of Compilation: GINGERBREAD.VJLC3.
*#1234#
PDA: S6102BVJLC3
PHONE: S6102BVJLC3
CSC: S6102BUUBLC2
What region does the firmware?
Where does this firmware?
I think that Samsung Galaxy Y Duos is very different to:
Samsung Galaxy Y (S5360)
Samsung Galaxy Y Pro (B5510)
Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos (B5512)
In Colombia the frequencies for WCDMA are 850MHz/1900MHz (like USA, Canada, Mexico, Chile, etc).
My GT-S6102B has preselected 900MHz/2100MHz Asian frequencies, and I need enable 850MHz/1900MHz for gain advantage of HSDPA (3.5G) data connections.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks
worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
Could I use ODIN for update (wich file .OPS I doubt to use)?
According to ODIN (modem file option) how to change phone (modem or amss),tar.md5 file?
Could I unpacking zip (with firmware) specially for this model specifically, from samfirmware.com ? - (the zip has one only unextractable file)
Is It possible download files of Firmware from my mobile?
Thank you.
Jose Luis

Looks like your device is specifically tailored to Brazil, hence the B on S6102B and the weird frequencies.
I'm still investigating if the UMTS frequencies are software controlled or limited by hardware on a GT-S360L (currently supporting 850/1900 MHz UMTS, my goal is getting 850/2100 MHz).
I will let you know if I advance more.

Hi Jose Luis,
What you are reporting is weird as the GT-S6102 is supposed to be 900/2100 and the GT-S6102B is supposed to be 850/2100. I bought a GT-S6102B (exactly the same specs as yours: *#1234#, kernel, compilation) on Amazon.com 2 weeks ago. The HSDPA frequencies written on the box are 850/2100. Even if I live in Europe (frequency 2100), I especially bought my phone in the US to have the 850/2100 as I often travel in North America. I could not try yet if it works on 850MHz, but at least, it is written on the box.
Edit: I found this code *#*#197328640#*#* that seems to allow you to select the operating frequency. However, I didn't try it myself. Maybe somebody might confirm this?

Hi johnNavi,
I tried to changes frequency band using *#*#197328640#*#*, but the behavior is same;
Maybe you can change in the menu, selecting Frequencies for USA, but in functionality is not working.
I had a same case with GT-5670L(came with Gingerbread 2.3.4) -> updated to 2.3.6 for India, and the functionallity for operate in frequencies for America (Colombia Incluted) was damaged.
I needed to change only the file modem (phone) 2.3.6 to 2.3.4, not all Firmware.
Bye.

Hello,
to make it complete. I am from Germany stay in Argentina and have bored a S6102 from Russia.
Cards:
T-Mobile from germany (for phoning)
Moviestar from Argentina (for phoning and 3G)
Phone works fine, not like my HD2, but it works. Problem is, i cant use 3G (only Edge). could it be that i have the same problem with the frequency's?

Eso es precisamente lo que intentamos arreglar. (Is is that We tries to fix )

Ok guys, here's the result:
I flashed the modem part of my device using data from a 5360B and toyed with it through *#197328640#, setting to only accept the 2100 MHz. So far so good, but I wasn't able to get any operator on my carrier lists.
The conclusion? Looks like software has some minor capabilities to lock down any unknown frequency, but the lack of right hardware is the major problem for us.

Hi, Would you mind changing using a version 5360B for LA (S5360LUHLF1, S5360LUHLB1, S5360LUHKJ2) in S6102 model?
Is there problem going back to the original Firmware?

You must remember that Brazilian frequencies (850/2100) are different to Colombian (Chile, Argentina) frequencies (850/1900) for UMTS.
It's the test needed.

Hi Friend,
Sorry for asking you again, but I need to be secure for make changes in my phone.
I was reviewing in http://www.sammobile.com and I found that the S5630L Firmwares most complete would be Uruguay (850/1900/2100) and Venezuela (850/900/1800/1900) according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks
Uruguay:

Venezuela
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150336037/1906c89/S5360LUHKJ2_S5360LUUBKJ1_VNO.zip.html
My questions
Would it be possible to change the S6102B (the modem firmware) version S5360L one?
If problems occur the change can be returned?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Jose Luis

Has anybody been able to make the s6102b pick the 850/1900 band by way of flashing new modem? Thanks

Enter the secret code *#2263# (*#BAND#) and try.

I have also this model of galaxy note 3 but my problem is i cannot send text message whenever my signal becomes lte. There is no network selection option in the settings. Im using smart postpaid lte sim.

SM-N900L no LTE option
Sorry. I just open this topic again. My unit still the same no LTE option or acces. Pls help. Ty

I have the same problem in the Czech Republic.

Can any one provide assistance on this? I was told by a fellow N900L user that using a custom rom aryamod + Lean kernel might help. I do not know how to install custom rom and kernel. Does anyone know how to do this?

any updates on this? I just have may Note 3 2 days ago, and I'm having problem with weak sigal on TM/Globe.
Can it possibly root and flash a custom rom, I'm thinking to have it on Cyanogenmod ROM

First, check that your SIM/Phone provider offers 1. LTE 2. LTE in your area
Secondly, If your phone is a Korean Original, I dont think it will be global-ready... you may have to update the modem & CSC in order to receive the 4G/LTE bands that you are after.
Third, check the reception bands of your phone model and check that your provider/country uses those 3G/4G/LTE bands. (eg: 700MHz, 750, 850, 900, 1600, 1900 etc)

I have had a brief look in my files and dont have your models firmware or modem to send.. I am not sure if SM-N900L has cross-compatibility with SM-N900S for example, I recall something like that or vice versa..
There are a few options;
> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares
- Find and download the firmware appropriate.
> samsung-firmware.org
> Try connecting phone at desktop with Kies, this model may have an update per your area of the globe.

unfortunately there is no available stock firmware for n900L...but it's the same specs with n9005. so i guess i won't be havingg a problem with that stock firmware.
I'm currently running CM13 in my n900L, the rom was for n9005 and other Note3 with the same specs as Snapdragon800 chipset and Adreno GPU

It's work for me, i'm use ALL Band
Thanks bro :good:

[Q] Galaxy S5 G900F and bands 4 (1700)

Hi,
I did this guide to unlock LTE bands on my Galaxy S5 G900F, but it doesn't work.
Everything in the QXDM is ok and registered after reboot.
Is it because the phone is really made to not support band 4 ? Is there a hardware difference between G900F and G900W8 or this is simply the ROM that activate/desactivate bands ?
By the way, band 4 doesn't exist in NV browser (there are 1/7/13/17/40 bands only). Sounds like a hardware limit, but I want to be sure.
I'm running on Phoenix v7.
Thank you,
Samuel

I'm not posting because I have a solution to your problem. But I just wanted to say that I have the same exact issue. Same hardware, trying to enable the same band too. I've succeeded at writing the correct NV memory value (524511) and it sticks on reboot but the band is still not enabled. Mind you I haven't figured out how to tell which bands are enabled. I'm also running Phoenix Rom V7.
Perhaps we could get some momentum going on this issue.

Did you ever get your phone on Lte band 4?

Hi exiledfear!
I also have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (International version) that I bought in the US last year and want to enable Band 4 so I can use LTE in my country Argentina. I have not attempted to root my phone or write to NV yet, I first want to check whether someone was actually able to get it working using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
I will really appreciate if you could provide any hints or tips on how to achieve this
Thanks

Custom or modifying modems

I have N910C and I live in Japan.
Note 4's are not sold in Japan at all.
My phone was sold in the UAE.
I want to modify the current modem.bin file, to match the settings of a Japanese Note Edge.
I did a side-by-side comparison using *#0011# on my n910c and S5 Active.
The S5 Active: Band 1, 4 bars signal, LTE
n910c: Band 1, 1 bars signal, 4G/LTE
So can I somehow manually change my modem settings in the driver?
What are my options here?

Cant change anything on the modem only settings on the phone

In your case you do not need to change modem at all just look for Flashable Csc for your region . As you can also manually edit your(If rooted) System >Csc (Folder) but i will not recommend you.
