Mate 2 Consumer Cellular, will it work on T Mobile - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

I was wondering if the Consumer cellular Mate 2 would work on T Mobile, especially at there LTE speeds? Or would I be safer just getting the $300 unlocked version? Thanks. I must say I am tempted to wait and get the Mate 7 but it looks like it will be twice the cost or more.

I was interested in picking up this version myself for the savings over the unlocked one. I was reading in a different thread someone unlocked the phone using an app from the play store, costs 12 bucks or something?
I was also reading the model # is exactly the same as the unlocked one, and besides being carrier locked it has some extra bloatware, but that can be fixed by flashing the unlocked models firmware. The model is exactly the same and the firmware will flash no problem from what I've read

No way that was a 247 MB download. IT came down way too fast. I wonder if it's actually the "small" download people saw before the 4.2.2 rollout

I looked away for a couple of minutes I admit but it went from 10% to done awfully fast.
Same here
I just got this update as well. I haven't been able to find any information on what it does though.
totally like AT&T/HTC to put out an update without saying anything about features.
Got the update as well but I didn't know the size because it had already been downloaded and ready to be installed before I was prompted.
Just downloading this update. What's new?
Got same update. No changes noticed.

Brian Klug of Anandtech said OTAs were going out to AT&T HTC devices to turn on LTE bands 2 and 5. This could be interesting.
I found one change. I had a customized default ringtone. It was reset to at&t firefly.

There's no changelog?
Edit: Just updated it and didn't notice any changes. But I did read an article that said it had something to do with LTE bands.

Unlocked for AT&T?

Is the Verizon Galaxy S4 usable on AT&T? I know it's unlocked but wasn't sure if it's unlocked for att. Having to switch to att and hoping I can use my phone. Someone said if it works I would probably only get hspa+ . Any advice will be great.

New VZW S4 LTE-A model? SCH-I545L

Could there be a new LTE-A model coming out soon along with the Note 3?
Source code is availabe for a SCH-I545L online at the Samsung Opensource site.
Even if it is, it's for supported markets only (read: korea) and the vzw s4 already supports voLTE so it really doesn't matter
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4
Its about Dev support since the newer S4 will probably use a Snapdragon S800 and baseband will be completely different and othere H/W bits might be slightly different.
Short answer is no. Long answer is long but also no.
Oh no. It is coming out FOR SURE. I'm sure they confirmed it like in May. But it's only for the korean market.

Yeah, I know its already out in the Korean market and there are rumors of the i9506 model for the International market with the updated chipset.
But this is the first time I've seen Source Code out for a VZW model that is not retailing yet.
I have a regional carrier in WI that just released the Galaxy s4 yesterday... sure enough model number SCH-I545L
Yep Cellcom (NE Wisconsin's monopolistic carrier) just started selling the S4 last Friday....
Here is the system info
Hope to get it rooted soon as I find the touchwiz interface to be total garbage compared to stock android... Also it's terrible at resizing fonts on in apps

You might be able to follow the Verizon subsection for this phone. I'm pretty sure this phone was released by Verizon for smaller carriers. Roms might work on it from that section. Rooting can be done no matter what carrier. If you incorrectly flash a wrong ROM for your phone, the data will not work.

What root method will work? The build number ends with WWUAMG6.
I just picked up the i545L yesterday on Cellcom in WI as well. I am also waiting for root but i installed Zeam from the play store to get rid of Samsung's TW Launcher in the mean time.
Has anybody figured out the best way to root the SCH-I545L?

Kit Kat closer for Sprint Users..

My wife and son have htc one's with Sprint, and they got the kit kat update this morning...I assume that means its very very close for the Sprint one max..
well, i guess not unfortunately... as per LlabTooFeR, it was under testing a few days ago, i would not expect it too soon.
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

I bet it comes to the one max this week...now, how much longer after that until its in a custom rom, 'cause most of us will not go back to stock just to get an OS update....or will we??
I guess me personally, I don't see a major advantage going through all the hassle of locking the phone all back up stock if I can get the same features on a ROM that sports the 4.4 Kit Kat features. I mean firmware updates, yeah maybe a loss, but risking hboot changes.. Na not till someone else tries it Haha

I am going to stock soon, just to get the OTA update and then upload it here. The only dev who had the international unlocked version was @navalynt and he was unfortunately bricked the phone He was the first dev to post a custom ROM for the MAX!
really wish it reaches early, but expect that to happen. keeping fingers crossed.
I think the dev's can quickly update the base, but the original One is going to keep them busy too!
---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------
And Oh, i got to keep root keeper during the OTA to keep ROOT! or try to manually flash the OTA with keeping it unlocked ( dont know if that is possible)
well, i am more worried about the kernel sources. this is getting completely totally out of bounds for HTC to keep the kernel sources for such a long time!
According to the Roadmap Verizon Max just went to Certification ... Sprint Max is still in Integration.

Android 7 "Nougat" OTA Happening!

Downloading now and so excited! Now only if somehow we could root it and make reach its full fun potential.
Wassup Galaxy Users
It's been a while since I've logged on. The OTA has been available since the day after AT&T also A LOT of the s8 apps work like bixby samsung pass secure folder etc. I don't even want the s8+ no more just gonna get like 3 cases and a glass screen protector. How do u guys like android 7.0 on the s6. I'm also sad to say AOD will NEVER work on this phone uprooted butttttt our version is the edge clock and mine has been more efficient since the update keeping it on from 12pm to 12am is really the only time to take a quince glance. Whewww that was a mouth full hope everyone has a good day :good::laugh:

I love the update. I hate that I can't use free fonts anymore and the fonts you can use are a dollar each and not even much to choose from. Also (and this is a hardware thing) I have bad screen burn on this phone. I've never had any other phone get screen burn. On a white screen you see my keyboard, browser, and facebook have permanently marked my screen. Kinda sucks. Lol I digress. The update is awesome. Really don't understand why this is like the only galaxy phone we can't root lol

I've been trying to see if the update is available for days now. No dice! I tried both OTA & the Verizon software assistant...
I'm using a StraightTalk (AT&T) sim card in my S6 Edge-Plus and from what I've seen, OTA is only available if you're using a Verizon sim card. I get the below error (and it has never worked really):
Settings>System Update>Check for system updates:
Service Unavailable
Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
Can someone please post a link/tutorial to the Nougat firmware?

I feel like if we use a 1 click root method it would work to a certain extent cause we don't have a custom recovery for this specific device which means we could brick a phone easier without the proper custom recovery
