Sorry to post T-01C question in TG01 forum. This Android phone is from NTT Docomo , and in China we use a cracked SIM sticker ( Mr SIM ) to cheat the network so as to make phone calls. But today I accidently chose the Radio Band GSM/UMTS as USA band, now I cannot switch it back and lost and network connection. I know you guys have been using T-01C’s Android Kernel to develop TG01’s Android Rom, could anyone give me some suggestion how to get the right Radio back? When the radio is on there is only one option US band to select; if radio is off, there are more options like AU , JAPAN band etc., but no matter which one I choose, just cannot set it successfully even the system is rooted.
T-01C have been updated in May from OS 2.1 to 2.2 while Radio from 5011.1906.50 to 5014.1906.11. Now I download the 2.2 ROM from official website and try to use T01C_SWUpdater01.apk to flash, it fails because I already use the latest OS.
Could anyone help me on this? Thanks for reading!

i‘m afraid that there’ll be a few custom rom for A199,for the k3v2 cpu,it is special,which needs to confirm the boot.imgfile all the time,unless Huawei would unlock this structure.the models like A199,such as Huawei P6,U9508,Mate,etc all have this sort of question
on Anzhi page ,chinese developers only ported miui for them due to miui uses the same boot file.
you can browse the page.
good luck!
Huawei is introducing its latest product called P6.

I found some posts on the ROM from Chinese Flashing Forum web: shuajizhijia.com/huawei/a199/
Anybody know whether flashing my A199 with one of those ROM will allow the use of other provider's CDMA SIM card?
Thanks.
Ok.. so now I managed to flash my phone with one of the ROM downloaded from Shuajizhi, but my A199 still doesn't read my CDMA card...
Do I need to root my phone first? How can I install gApps on my phone?
Thanks for any help..
I finally got my phone unlocked, now i need to back up NV items... i tried using the NV item reader/writer but the back text files shows "Unknown Error" on all items.. anybody have any other solutions?

Hi,
How you got your phone unlocked? Can you explain please? I also have A199 with cdma part locked
Hi guys,
I've buy one A199 when I was in China for work 4 months ago , now I'm returned in Europe but my phone company use only 3g and this phone actually use only 2g line.
Now my question are , There is european firmware for this phone?
It's possible to unlock 3g line and /or there are custom roms for european use?
And the last question is , It's possible to add android market? because actually if I download the app, it isn't possible to open
Thanks in advance for your response

If you mean to use 3g in GSM card slot - no, you cannot, it is only for GSM 900/1800 Mhz, but not for HSDPA 2100 Mhz. CDMA card slot you can use only for cdma 800 Mhz also. As to Google account and market - sure you can. You need to root your phone first with a help of EROOT program . Then use gapps-jb-20121011-signed . I suggest to do this all on clean last firmware version CV100R001C92B130 .

Hi, i got Lenovo S696 phone from friend. It was buy from China. And now the unit is bring to Indonesia. Something weird is happen.
The phone is Dual SIM, when i use local operator SIM, it say "Unknown type card" both, but there is signal bar show on menu bar. Also it can't connect to the internet, the APN list can't show local operator APN and ii can't be edited.
I did try to find some ROM (english ROM) but S696 seem to unpopuler model, so there is no ROM i could find, anyone can help me?
Does upgrading ROM/firmware can make the SIM card works at my country???

No, it wont work until you flash it to a provider in your country. Sense the phone was activated in another country, your not going to be able to use networking because the provider is out of range. Also if you get signal, and the provider from the phone's country has retail stores in your country, then the networks in your country could be blocking your phone from receiving networking, sense its using a different area code, ip,etc.
You best bet is going to your local service provider and getting the for unlocked or flashed to that service. They will give you a new SIM card and everything should work awesome

You have to root your phone first using SRS Root application, then install an application from Play Store that called HiAPN Global, use that to set your default APN settings, about "Unknown Type Card" just rename your sim card to a desired carrier.

Hi All,
As all we know the WCDMA 800/850/900/1900/2100 Mhz is only a mirage, because we all know that the in example the JIAYU G4T is supporting ONLY WCDMA-IMT-2000 (which is the WCDMA 2100Mhz).
OK from my experience so far, I have flashed so many modem.img files, from TCL Idol X (S950), TCL Hero N3 and ChangHong Z9(HonPhone W33) and with no success, I'm only killing my reception because I SUPPOSE that the build of this stupit modem.img file is different or the JIAYU G4 BandMode is somekind of hardware locked only on WCDMA 2100, BUT WHY ???? Is there any posibility to unlock the WCDMA-GSM-900 Mhz, it is natively supported by the MT6589T and how the rest of the Manufacturers are able to implement it and to make it working ?
You'll ask your self, "why this guy is still trying by killing his phone so many times", well the answer is very simple, because I belive that there are no imposible things in the world and because I know how to recover my IMEIs and so on and I have even tried with the ChangHong Z9(HonPhone W33) Modem Database and AP Database and guess ... I was able to recover the IMEI and even I've used a real ChangHong Z9 IMEI and I was able to write it on my JIAYU G4T BUT ....
AGAIN with no success, there were no reception at all and I was having IMEIs and YES in the Engineer Mode in the Band Mode section there were only WCDMA-GSM-900 and WCDMA-IMT-2000 marked but there was NO reception again !!!
and that's why I'm begging you to tell me how to edit the modem.img file, because I was unable to uncompress it anyhow (tried ext4_unpacker_exe but without success, it's unpacking only mediatek factory rom ".img" files)
You'll ask why I want to edit and to try to create custom modem.img to support WCDMA-GSM-900Mhz, because those idiots from JIAYU and not only them, are going to release their MTK6592 and even the other upcoming 6595 with only WCDMA 2100Mhz support and that's very STUPID !!! And at all JIAYU have a great design !!!
Only in Europe there are 45 x Mobile Carriers with WCDMA(UMTS) 900/2100 Mhz builded networks (Including big mobile carriers like O2 in UK) and all of us which are using JIAYU or THL or even almost all of the rest chinesse clones or other manufacturers MTK based phones, we all are going to suffer if we are in such area which is WCDMA 900 coverage available only.'
I'll give you an example which is very clean example for good marketing: TCL
they have 4-5 different Idol X S950 modem.img files for their 4-5 different versions of the Idol X S950 model !!! YES I was able to check that fact by accidentally founding the source codes of the 4-5 different region specific TCL Idol X S950 phone and after that I was able to read that for every region there is different modem.img which is region specific in the needs of the customers mobile carriers.
You'll ask me "Why don't you buy Idol X" because the JIAYU is smaller it fits in my hand better, that's why and because I like the design more and because have an OTA updatable MIUI V5 on it which is working flawlessly, that's why.
Also why I'm going to buy the next MTK6592 based JIAYU S2, because it have even better design (139mm x 67.5mm x 6mm) than the Idol X+ S960T (140.4 x 69.1 x 7.9 mm), but again it will strugles in WCDMA 900 Mhz that's why I beg all of you developers to help me to figure how to redifine the modem.img to be custom configured by our needs ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post

OK there is no need to answer to my question, because I've been answered already:
by javum
Hi!
Except CPU there is another parts in the radio scheme (antenna, converters, etc). So you can't use another band mode frequency if it is not supported in hardware.
Lenovo produces the same devices for China and Europe. The system firmware (ROM) is fully compatible with both versions, but European versions has 900MHz 3G and Chinese version doesn't. If people flashes modem software from european to chinese devices - the can see 900MHz 3G in Engineer mode, but it don't work...
So I say "no" for whole you question. You can't make it supported...
:crying:
but the hope dies last:

Here's my problem....
I have a Blu Life One M phone. It's a rebadged and "Americanized" Micromax Magnus A117. So I can flash roms for the A117 and they work great, except for the data modem. My phone supports HSDPA+ 42Mbps band (850,1700,1900 UMTS). Problem is that the India version of the phone A117 only can support GSM band (850,900,1800,1900). SO, If I have the Blu roms flashed...I get a HSDPA (about half that high speed listed though but a big improvement). With any of the India roms (inc, Cyanogen and such) I can only get GSM band. Sloooow. The engineering menu shows choices to tick the boxes to include the other freqs I want...but they are grayed out.
So, to have all the nifty cool rom stuff, I have to go WiFi only. To go plain Jane gives me the high data speed.
Any way to get those choices un-grayed....or do I have the Rosetta stone of making these changes...or go back to stock and dream ???
Thanks for any info.....
BTw.. It is a MTK 6589t SoC.

Hi team, when I install stock ROM Cloudfone Excite Prime only support WCDMA IMT 2000, in my country 3G not connect.
When I flash BLU LIFE XL stock ROM I got this basebands 3G enable (WCDMA-PCS-1900, WCMD-AWS- 1700, WCDMA-CLR-650)
The cuestion is how can I change the baseband, what is the file than I change?
Please help me, thanks
This is the UNMODIFIED STOCK ROM for the Chinese version of Moto X Pure/Style. Model Number XT1570.
The Chinese variant NEVER moved to Marshmallow. While this ROM is NOT the newest, it is one of later official ROM.
Since entire Google is censored by the Chinese government, this ROM does NOT come with ANY Google applications. Many of the similar function are replaced by (much inferior) Chinese equivalent.
Note that Chinese variant is different from other dual SIM variant in the following way:
1. LTE band is different. This is the only variant I am aware of which support both US/AT&T and China/China Unicom LTE band
2. Chinese variant support Baidu Navigation signal in addition to GPS and GLONASS
Additional hardware detail of Chinese variant is in my other post:

people in China tried and it was very messy. radio no longer worked property. I advice you against it.
I have flashed Lineage OS CM13. both sim card works. BUT I am not in China at the moment, and China uses a different frequency. So, I can't guarantee if it works or not.

Do it at your own risk.. there are possiblties that
1) 2nd SIM won't work
2)you will end up in bootloop
3)while flashing you might get pre valid fail errors
4) it might get installed but you will get lots of FCS
5) everything will be Chinese so you won't understand anything
Do it at your own risk..
Advice to take backup of your rom via twrp and then proceed (at your own risk)

Hi, can you share the link for "OS CM13" for download for XT1570, i want to try it.
I am currently on 5.1.1 stock ROM, i need clarification on two things
1. My google maps only works when i try to find something but when i ask for assistance it looses GPS signals while i move. I had tried different location & networks but situation remains the same. So any similar issues or should i change to some other Navigation App. My location is Pakistan.
2. Battery timings with 4G LTE, i am getting approx 8-10 hours. Tried replacing it with new but same results.
Hope to hear from you soon.
