Is it possible to port over a modem to get 4G LTE on T-mobile for the i9205? HSPA+ is fast enough but service is kind of spotty in the Orlando area. Does anybody know if this is possible or is it a hardware issue that software cannot fix?

I have tried with no luck with odin it has a secure boot error. need some one with a rooted telus i527m to make a dump of there mmcblk0p1 partition.. to do that thay need to use terminal program on there phone.
su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=backup-NON-HLOS.bin
that will make a back up on there sd card. then when we get that backup file from them then we could install on our i9205 by placing the file in the root of the phones internal storage. and with terminal type
su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Try at own risk
is there anyone out there willing to try this? I'm sure this would be beneficial to all of us. I will make a pledge of $20 if we can make this work. Lets get this rolling.

If above not working you can use this program to make back up of mmcblk0p1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

Software drivers (modem) cannot change hardware specifications.
The AT&T mega is full 4GLTE and that's the only way you are going to get it!
It works on t-mob as well.

I wonder if this is just like my Note then. I'm using the AT&T Note on T-Mobile and getting LTE. All I had to do was unlock it, inset T-Mobile sim and then change the APN settings.

It's my understanding that the LTE frequencies are different so porting a modem would make no difference at all.

will porting a modem over at least help with reception issues? A lot of time my phone gets on edge, and if I keep it on wcdma only I loose signal sometimes. Has anybody had success porting over a modem to the i9205? If so what kind of results did you guys get?
can anyone tell me what the best mega is to buy to get working on tmobile? i'm switching from sprint and really have no idea. thanks.

if you're wanting to get LTE on T-Mobile carrier... then the Mega you want is the US AT&T version....SGH-I527
good luck

thanks. do you know if you get the At&t mega and it has a bad Esn, will it still work on tmobile? the ebay seller claims it will. it seems it would.
I Purchased a I527m (plus and extra 50 bucks for SIM unlock code) from a (Canadian carrier) and successfully rooted with TWRP, and flashed it with a stock Canadian firmware ROM to use with a T-Moble SIM card here in the US. After a few APN changes I get T-Mobile 4g LTE, HSPA+ and very fast DL/UL speeds. I do live in a re-framed area so I am sure that adds o the increased performance. Below are my average speeds. Hope this helps.

My Note 3 was pushed the Lollipop upgrade. I avoided clicking OK to give permission but after a week it upgraded by itself (interesting...?)
This is bad news for me as I need international sim unlock - which I got via SUU app on kitkat - but now that doesn't work
Also GPS accuracy has suffered and my widget for turning 'Mobile Data' on/off don't work...now it's a 4 tap process (a reaaaaal pain in the neck)
I can put of with the GPS and 'Mobile Data' widget issue (for now), but I REALLY (!) need international sim unlock (sprint refuses to unlock it!) and SUU app is not working on Lollipop.
It seems a root is my best option(I've never rooted), as well as making sure modems go back to a previous version also (not sure which version). What's my simplest course of action to minimize risk of bricking and do a simple 'one touch' root that will allow me to unlock international sim use (domestic US unlock would be nice also! )
Any help is appreciated or a link to specific thread. (Travelling internationally very soon so need to WORK IT OUT ASAP)
If it was unlocked before, your good to go. Oden the m4j modem and do the rest and the apns. Worked for me.
The GT app will be updated for lollipop so the international unlock will work, says the Dev.
but with lollipop i got an error msg when i used SUU. i assumed it didnt work and theres no safe way to know until youre overseas.
And what did you mean with Oden mj4, and do the rest and the apns? 3 different steps...can you please elaborate. Thx.
And the GT app ?
So it worked for you. And what about domestic sim unlock ?
Thx again, Sammy

I ran the ssu app before lollipop and it " Sticks !" I've odened back to KK to take the Ota lollipop, I've used oden to install lollipop, and have flashed CM 12 none of that undid the unlock.
I am in the US on TMoble network with a ting.com sim and the MJ4 radio with the right apns every thing working great. The rest of the steps are the settings in the HiddenMenu.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305
Easy to do just follow the steps.
The GT app is another program that did/will do the international unlock and a whole lot more. Dev says he's updating it for lollipop.
Thanks for all this.
Does me having a SPRINT note 3 make a difference (as opposed to your t-mobile)
And where did you get the sotck, KK, lolliops and the CM12 roms - here on XDA or elswhere ?
is the MJ4 the same for sprint as it is for t-mobile.
I assume you did the domestic unlock and all works well ?
Thanks again

The international unlock is unaffected by updating.
To restore domestic, oden the MJ4 radio and change the settings in hidden menu and add apn like before.

Flash PRIMEGSM by @ki11aprime
I would exactly call this an enabler but it enables band 12 on any custom rom for the XT1575. No more needing to do the manual process of flashing back to stock and take OTA. Just flash the zip and reboot.

For those of you on T-Mobile who cannot access BAND12. Before flashing this try this: go to settings and IMEI ,if you have t-mobile sim and it displays IME SV - 01. You have no access to b12,after flashing this if it shows SV - 02. Flash worked and you have access to B12 and VolTE

I'm pretty sure it deleted your modem files and replaced it with the newest one from the OTA. That's why the people that took the OTA or sideloaded the OTA are able to get band 12. Custom ROMs don't flash modem so the old modem was still on the phone if you were on 5.1.1 when updating to a custom marshmallow ROM.

My original modem zip just installed the new modem from the mm ota. This does that and updates another modem file that was missing in some custom roms. Which enables imei sv 2 for band 12.

Well, thats a great question I never looked into it and it seems that you are right, EU doesn't use band 12 at all. I actually realised that using XT1575's modem I'm limiting myself to a great amount of less LTE band. Basically I leak Europe's specific band 20 which is accordingly to wiki one of the main bans :S.
Do you guys think marshmallow works with 5.1.1 modem files? I want to flash the modem from my stock version so I can get LTE working as it should.

For T-Mobile, just remember folks, Band 12 only helps if you are in an area with poor LTE reception. If you live in an area with strong Band 4 LTE, you will never see it connect to Band 12. I am in NYC and mine never connect to Band 12 since Band 4 LTE is pretty strong in tri-state area.

thanks for your time
You cannot flash non-verizon ROMs unless they have been ported. As far as connecting to your network, you must have the correct radios AND the APN settings, which vary by carrier.
