I suspect it's just because the update.zip file does not contain any mention of the correct model for Bell. The Bell model is a GT-i9000M. Anyone can update the zip file so I can try again?? Thanks.
Did you try the update method for the i9000? That one might work

Yes, I did. When it runs it shows i5800, i9000, sgh-i897 but not i9000m. I think it's a simple thing to just add the model number to the script, because I'm pretty sure it gets installed to the same places, but I'm no expert.
Edit: I found the updater script in the zip file and looked at it with notepad, but I'm scared to just add similar notations for the i9000M without some confirmation from someone who knows more.
It really is that simple as finding the few lines in the script and copying the two you need and adding the model name displayed in your settings > about phone.
I'd throw an update.zip for ya but I have to run soon. The worst that'll likely happen is the script won't run if you get the model name wrong.
nice so I'd give it a go

Ok, thanks, I know enough to try it. We'll see.
Sweet! It was that simple. I just added an M to the i9000 already in the file. Thanks guys for the feedback.
could you post the update.zip for other bell people?
What are your radio frequencies? im interested in knowing if the Bell Vibrant has any compatible freqs... Our vibrant works 3g for Tmo and AT&T, a first for gsm phones i think?

Frequencies for Bell are 850/1900. So it works on Rogers, Telus, ATT.
I still find it really strange that tmobile chose to add in utms 1900 to the phone...do they even have any unused spectrum in that band...its just really bazar
I don't want to know bells freqs.. I wanna know what the bell vibrants box says...

As in pertaining to accessing the LTE network, no. LTE and WiMAX are totally different network architectures, our phone would need a hardware fix if it were to access LTE.

There will never be a hardware fix. It requires an entirely different chipset with a new antenna. There is abolsutely no chance of gaining LTE on current phones.

According to a couple of articles I read a while ago stated Sprint could update their network to LTE with a software change and all the phones needed was a firmware update to be compatible with LTE but I'm not an expert in those fields, so I really can't comment if that's true or not

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

Sprint will boot you and terminate the contract with no etf if you do it enough. Not that I would condone such a thing.
I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
Hi all, I have this device given to by my sister-in-law from US., but I leave here in Philippines, is there a way to may this device be used here in my country? Thank you very much in advance.
Im not sure, but the same way that people flash to carriers like Boost, I guess you could do the same with one of your local carriers. But you would have to do some research to get all the necessary pieces like a donor phone, mms gateway URL and all that, I wouldn't know how to obtain that info unless you have an inside person but thats just my 2 cents
The first thing is to find out if a cdma network is available where you are. The Shift uses cdma but the majority of the world uses gsm...

Here is a cool app that will let you use your shift to make calls via wifi. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snrblabs.grooveip I hope this helps.
I've noticed in some of the ROMs I've installed that there are settings making it LOOK like you can change between CDMA and GSM. I never believed it was actually possible, but interesting that there are settings like that included sometimes.
Yeah, thats because CM uses the same base for all their roms, then makes it specific for each device
If you try to switch, it doesnt actually work though, like you said

Those ROMs are cross platform, such as cm7.. they were released on multiple devices on multiple carriers so adding that option makes it easier for use with different carriers. The only way you can get both is with an international cdma device (there aren't many)

Yes you are correct. These build prop edits do what you say. But as I understood the op he wanted the 4g icon to say ONLY LTE. Those edits will not do that... maybe I misundertood what he was asking. In any event, in my rom I edited the actual icons to say only "LTE" while on 4G without needing to change the build.prop which the average user doesnt really know how to do (although it is in fact, easy). Either way he has his answer...:good:
I would like for it to say 4G LTE but LTE alone is fine if no 4G LTE is available.

What @Joe0113 posted the link should help you get that icon. But just watch out when downloading something that reads build.prop because it might think you have that variant but you actually have a sprint variant.
