can we load ATT build onto TMO variant? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I bought LG G6 from tmobile and got it unlocked. realized that VoLTE & VoWiFi will not work and also having issues getting SMS. wondering if we can load ATT build/firmware onto H872 (TMO variant)

Probably not a good idea since we don't have root and the hardware is different.

I believe the modem/radio is slightly different as the Tmobile version does not support all "bands" of the ATT network. Past that a more experienced member will have to give you better details.

my understanding is that once phone is unlocked, all the bands should be opened as well as the HW itself supports all NA carrier bands.

Have you set the correct apn?

LG G2 from t-mobile germany is t-mobile version or D802? ?

This one goes specially to german t-mob users. Is the device the t-mobile version or the D802 version?
T-Mobile US is a different beast than European phones usually. Probably not.

Thank U for replying...but this does'n answer my question.
T-Mobile US LTE bands and some of its legacy 3g AWS bands are incompatible with EU bands. Including German and other T-Mobile.

I can't give a definitive answer because some phones offer both T-Mobile US and European bands. Though since that's rare with LTE, that's probably not the case here.

Ah... that I don't know. Usually "T-Mobile LG G2" refers to the US carrier....

There‘s already a root, if I‘m not mistaken! You can check out a tutorial on how to unlock and root here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015#root
You can donate those $100 to the developers here
Unfortunately, the root that is available requires bootloader unlocking. Some of us (At&t, Cricket etc) don't allow for unlocking the bootloader. Hence the bounty.

Ugh, I picked this phone up for VZW as a backup that I now have to use (goodbye Moto X 2013). I too hate not being able to unlock this phone, thought for sure a little post-paid would be easy to unlock.
Yeah I'd like to see this too, my phone is supposed to be a unlockable model but they're still refusing to let me do it (Moto E 2nd 4G LTE model XT1527)

The SunShine application on theroot.ninja website says my Moto E (XT1527) passes initial safety checks that unlocking the bootloader would be possible but that it requires a pre-rooted system to do it.

Two N900s, fresh ODIN, cant pick up any cell service at all.

Edit: N900v, plural. My mistake in the title.
Trying to get through till the S8 comes out, but I cannot get these phones to work at all. I used ODIN to bring them to factory settings, still no cell service at all. I have tried a couple Verizon sims, no joy.
I ordered the little wire antenna and replaced it in both phones, still no signal at all.
Any suggestions?

Verizon uses a CDMA Network.
N900S is a GSM only device. Theoretically, it can only work on AT&T or T-Mobile networks.

I was under the impression that this was a general note 3 forum, since I had assumed this was a hardware issue I thought this would be the place to ask.

[Sprint] specific forum discussion

I've already hit up @MikeChannon for a Sprint specific forum....between the unlocked/att/tmo/vzw & sprint models, only the sprint model will have a different ROM.
Sprint users, speak up
*edit*
as it stands, it's a wait & see game to see if the forums blow up after release...as for now, there has only been a Sprint Development sub-forum added
my suggestion for sprint users is if u start a new thread start w/ [Sprint] at the beginning of the thread title or at least have Sprint in the title somewhere. If there's enough Sprint specific threads, they may create a Sprint specific forum

You have to take anything the reps say with a grain of salt....I doubt the unlocked will officially support Sprint. I know the Sprint model will have a different rom, all the others will use the same.

Can't rely on chat reps for correct info. Sprint is the only major carrier not supported by the US Unlocked U11.
"Supported carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, MetroPCS, Alaska Communications, Cricket, NET 10, Straight Talk & WalMart Family Mobile."

Does the US Unlocked model (SM-G950U1) support Sprint's LTE band 41?

I've seen conflicting info online, and can't remember the dialer code to check what bands the phone actually supports. I bought the US unlocked S8 a few weeks ago at Best Buy, and have a Sprint SIM in it now. I'm hoping it supports band 41, but I'm not sure. Any info you can provide would be great!

I am thinking of getting the Samsung unlocked S8 for the BF deal They are running when you trade in your phone.
How do you like using the unlocked version on Sprint? Anything that doesn't work that you wish you had? Any issues that you have noticed?

Does SMS and MMS work ? What about VoLTE?
I've tried using my US Unlocked U1 on Sprint a few times before giving up. They always send me a simcard, it doesn't work, then they send me another that doesn't work. Ended up on Verizon and it's working without issue.
