[HTC Sensation] m918v:
Tmobile website listed the frequency as 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100).

Can this phone use the 3g network on ATT? The specs are the same comparing it with the G2X.
[HTC Sensation] theclueless:
nope, does not have umts band V
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
I am wondering if someone can clear this up for because I have been searching and getting mixed readings. What bands does this phone support for 3G/HSPA??
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
The Tmobile phone won't work on AT&T 3G/4G

The European phone won't work on AT&T 3G/4G

The Canadian version WILL work on 3G, not sure about 4G (does AT&T have an HSPA+ network?)
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
I understand that and was not looking to use it on At&t. Thats why I just wanted the bands, because I am seeing so many different things over the internet and googling it
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
UMTS 850 is what you're looking for with AT&T
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
Is this UMTS 900 then??
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
900 is European
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
Ok i understand but I DONT want this to work on At&t i purchased an unlocked one to work in the carribean. I just want to be sure that it will work thats why i am asking what 3G band does it support
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
There are 3 versions of the phone, so you ARE going to get mixed specs. Check your box, it should list the specs of the phone on it and you will see the radios that your phone support.

I also don't have a clue what bands do carriers in the Carribean use, but my guess would be 900mhz
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
I bought an unlocked T-Mobile variant. It did not come in original manufacturing package.
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
Yeah, there seems to be at least three versions of the sensation. My TMOUS Sensation box says UMTS bands I, II, and IV. It is interesting to note that the T-Mobile website does not list UMTS band II in the specs. I tend to believe the box it came in, since we all know how accurate websites can be sometimes. So it seems if you have a TMOUS Sensation, you may or may not get 3/4G on AT&T.
[HTC Sensation] aim1126:
A lot of countries in Latin America use the 900mhz band so it would surprise me if carriers in the carribean use the same
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
This site should help figure out which specific bands are used in each country. Just select desired country in the dropdown.

Link to DR as an example:

http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=DOMINICAN+REPUBLIC

T-Mobile version has UMTS 1700, 1900, 2100 on the box, so won't get 3G in countries requiring 900.
[HTC Sensation] Mystik:
All I know is that to get the 850 band, you have to buy the Canadian version (bell canada), AFAIK we're one of few that use 850.

I think the UK version has 900?

the Tmo version has the higher freq. UMTS/HSPA, plus AWS. people in canada on Wind Mobile (the only AWS carrier) would need to buy that variation.
[HTC Sensation] hawkinau:
I am having the same problem almost all sites I have found say that the T-Mobile Sensation only supports HADPA 900 / 1800, I have just bought a T-Mobie Sensation off eBay where the seller posted the Sensation specs which says it supports the 850 band as well but from what I have gleaned so far this is incorrect, I'm in Australia where the Telstra 3G network runs on the 850 band so this phone will be useless to me on the Telstra 3G network.

Does any one really know if the T-Mobile version has the HSDPA 850 band????
[HTC Sensation] shadowboy23:
Okay this what I've seen on the negrielectronics website about HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile (unlocked) http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html

According to the info under "General" it says 3G Network HSDPA 900 / AWS / 2100.

So the European version is the same as the T-Mobile Sensation. Both handsets run on UMTS 900/2100MHz

T-mobile 4G network runs on 2100MHz (and I think 1700MHz as well), so as long as your area is covered with 2100MHz you'll be able to get 4G. Also any carrier or telco that runs their 3G network on the 900/2100MHz bands will compatible with the European model and the T-Mobile Sensation 4G. IF the specs are accurate on the website I was looking at, then the T-Mobile Sensation 4G is just a re-badged version of the European model.

Technically the HTC Sensation Z710a (UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz) http://negrielectronics.com/htc-z710a-sensation-850-1900-3g.html can also be used with T-Mobile network as ii is compatible with 2100MHz band.

PS

Do you know what bands your telco are using? Not really familiar with Caribbean networks.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Specs on the T-Mobile US Sensation 4G box do not match that website.

The box lists this:

GSM 850,900,1800,1900

UMTS 1700,1900,2100

TMO US requires 1700 for 3G/4G.
[HTC Sensation] forelli:
If you're in the Carribean or in Australia you should buy the Asian version: Z710e. The box states, under Network:

HSPA/WCDMA: (900/AWS/2100 MHz)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: (850/900/1800/1900 MHz).

I'm in Europe (Austria) and my Sensation is the Asian version and works well with my A1 carrier (UMTS/HSDPA).

[HTC Sensation] shadowboy23:
Wrong it runs on 1700MHz and 2100MHz
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Thanks. I'm aware of that. I said 1700 is "required". I didn't say it was sufficient.

I was responding to the previous post that said this:

Technically the HTC Sensation Z710a (UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz) http://negrielectronics.com/htc-z710...0-1900-3g.html can also be used with T-Mobile network as ii is compatible with 2100MHz band.
[HTC Sensation] :
Well technically from what this site says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA that T-Mobile runs on 1700/2100MHz 3G (if you look in the chart) so if it's true that they run on 2100MHz as well then the Z710a is okay with the TMO

That's IF only if TMO do run 2100MHz for 3G/4G
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
TMO US requires both 1700 and 2100 for 3G, not either or, both are required. If the Z710a doesn't have 1700 UMTS it won't work.
[HTC Sensation] :
Well I don't know about how the US network works but here in Australia Telsta runs on 850/2100MHz

One time I bought a T9191 HD2 (900/2100MHz) and used it with Telstra. In my home town Telstra runs on 850MHz so I can only get GPRS/EDGE but when I go in the city "Sydney" Telstra runs on 2100MHz so I do get 3G when in Sydney.

So depending on how the network functions in USA. If they run a similar setup then Z710a can be used with TMO in places where 2100MHz is present.

EDIT:

Correction on the HD2 model I bought. it's the T8585 model.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
TMO US splits upload and download, using both 1700 and 2100 for 3G. Without both UMTS frequencies a phone will only work on EDGE on TMO's network.
[HTC Sensation] :
I see. It is different to our network in Australia. Uploads/downloads are in either 850/2100MHz (with Telstra). In rural areas in Australia telcos run on 850/900MHz (Telstra, Optus & Vodafone) and all telcos run on 2100MHz in metro areas.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Yes, it's different. T-Mobile is just one carrier. AT&T uses 850 or 1900 3G depending on location, but does not split upload/download. The other carriers use CDMA which is a totally different technology that's not compatible with T-Mobile and ATT phones. It's a mess and wasn't designed with consumers in mind.
[HTC Sensation] :
Telstra use to have CDMA but have shut it down.
[HTC Sensation] :
Actually after doing some research the product from negrielectronics HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile have the right specs.

It says

But wait there is no 1700MHz as you would noticed.

AWS facts:

So technically the European model can be used for T-Mobile network. Because we both know that TMO US runs on both 1700(AWS)/2100MHz for uploads and downloads.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Yeah, it's not confusing enough so they have to mix and match designations to maintain a high level of obscurity.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
AWS Band IV is not considered 1700/2100 - just the 1700 band.
[HTC Sensation] :
My thoughts exactly., I have done some research that's why I posted the specs of the Z710e UMTS 900/AWS(1700)/2100 because AWS=1700MHz
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
How do we know that Negri has the correct specs?? Although I have seen the same specs on other websites which confirm that the tmobile sensation has the 900mhz for umts but at the sametime htc.com does not show that 900mhz spec and neither does tmobile.com.

So essentially what I am saying is it possible that numerous websites have been given the weigh information or dis all the websites assumed that had the correct info...I've done so much googling the past weeks and I've just given up trying to figure out whether the tmobile sensation has 900 MHz frequency for umts....
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
The TMO US box says "UMTS 1700/2100/1900". I'd wager it's correct.

If 900 is listed somewhere it's likely a typo.
[HTC Sensation] :
The main thing you have to look at is the UMTS bands. As long as it has 1700(AWS)/2100MHz then it's T-mobile compatible.
[HTC Sensation] El Ha$on:
I'm coming to that conclusion, but at the sametime that would mean that about 5 different websites have typos about the tmobile variant of the HTC sensation.

Hi All

Im looking for a specific CSC file if any of you have it plz could you upload it for me so i could DL it from somewhere

The CSC file i need is for the XFV region

From what i could tell in version histories there are only a few of them out but i would like to see if there is a easier way to fix the you cannot update the firmware issue so we could probably document it properly.

The firmware dont really matter as i have most of them from samfirmware but i would like to replace the CSC to see if that would fix the problem.

This is for experimental purposes only and in no way will i or have a need to downgrade to a official firmware but seeing as i live in SA its hard to get the local CSC if everything is in the XEU region

Please check if you have one and let me know. I have a treory in terms of assisting ppl to get back on track with official firmware if they want to upgrade that way seeing as Bada 2.0 is close and a lot of ppl will want to go to the official release.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
Have you tried the new Kies 2 hack found in the galaxy forum? it works well with bada due to there are all on the same server. I dont know yet how to find it, the forum is to huge.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] toxicdust:
No idea. I was looking around but the CSC file still reffers in registry to the Kies software. The problem with that is that your geographical location gets picked up by the Kies software and if that dont match your CSC you wont be able to trick it in updating your FW over Kies.

I want to test that and see if that makes a difference because your productcode can also still be changed in the registry but you need the correct CSC

If it works everyone that want to manually flash has a 5 step fix to revert to original. Im just testing a theory

Please see if you can find that and share it :) Thanks
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
That with geographical is not true, i am using german firmwares and i can update through kies in austria, already flashed korean versions and everything works.

Manually you cannot change the settings, maybe your firmware configuration is mismatched.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] toxicdust:
Last night i tested this and flashed back to XXJEG witch was one of the 1st firmwares out and knowing there is a update after that it still stated the same that the FW cant be updated. I have also tested multiple CSC FW combinations and cant get it to simulate my region to be able to update from Kies

Currently my Config looks like this

FW: S8500XXJL2

CSC: S8500OXDJL1

I installed JID and updated to JL2 witch atm is the most stable build i could find.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
I can give you my xxji5 multi which contains every csc for open europe.

It is one combilation that i have made, in this time slyfer (my firmware downloader) have given me access to every samsung firmware.

It should solve your problems :) A bada 1.2 firmware with all csc i don't have, after the JL2 the downloader stopped to work, sorry.

You can choose what you want.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] toxicdust:
OMG dude you are a legend :)

Add me on skype: bubblethe1

I need the last 3 on that list as they are all to my country area

Hello toxicdust, you can use the Kies Registry Patcher as suggested by larioteo to install any firmware of your choice from kies.

It works and it's very simple to use. Like larioteo, I have also installed several firmwares from different regions from kies without problems.

I will give you a short tutorial on how to do this. You can also save the firmware that kies uses when upgrading your phone by extracting the files.

Now here is the tutorial. A screenshot is also attached.

HOW TO USE KIES PATCHER TO UPGRADE WAVE

1. Launch Samsung Kies.

2. Connect phone in kies mode (make sure phone is detected by kies).

3. With phone connected to kies, launch Kies Registry Patcher as Administrator

(Note: If you have previously connected more than one phone in kies,

you will be prompted that you need to cleanup regustry.

Accept/say yes, and then continue from nº 3 above, that is, start over again).

In kies Registry patcher,

- Click on the menu "Basic"

- In the option, "Enable Spoof" select "True"

- In the option, "Spoof Product Code as" Select "XFC" (e.g South Africa).

- In the option, "Spoof Software Revision as" enter any previous firmware version/csc for South Africa

example with Europe OXC previous firmware, "S8500XXJF7/S8500OXCJF3" (without the quotes).

- In the option, "Kies Version" enter the installed kies version. (By default, displays automatically).

4. After entering above information, now click on the button "Write Registry" to enter the data to registry.

5. Finally, go to kies and click on "Upgrade Firmware" and "Accept".

6. Kies will display that there is a new firmware version (e.g. S8500XXJL2/S8500OXCJL1).

7. Just click on accept and the upgrade process in kies will begin. That's all.

CAUTION:

Make sure you return kies patcher back to "False" after using, otherwise the app will be active at the background.

- In the option, "Enable Spoof" select "False"

[Bada Software and Hacking General] toxicdust:
Thanks a lot. Will try that tonight quick to see what the results are. Will let you know :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
OK then i wait, i am currently developing if you need the files i will post it for you or send you via skype.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] toxicdust:
Ok just checked now on this list for the release referances

http://www.scribd.com/doc/47859691/Samsung-Firmware-Langpacks-Descriptions-09-2010

The last official update combination was

PHONE: S8500JBJI2 CSC: S8500XFVJI2 - Bada 1.0

and

PHONE: S8500XXJF1 CSC: S8500XFVJF1 - Bada 1.0

Using both the combinations it says that there is no firmware update and this is the latest version.

Should i update to one of them to find out what the latest combination is because both cant be right right ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
Cross Version Updates can go in a bad way, you need first a full open firmware that is also available in your firmware revision.

Firmware Version Example: S8500XXJI5 (The base)

Config Version Example: S8500OXAJI5

The configs are not important if a other is available for your country, if not, then it it also important,

Litte differences can cause also a reboot loop.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
Yes, wrong combination of firmware(PDA) and CSC can lead to an endless booting of phone.

Please use a correct combination of the firmware files for South Africa. If possible, install an earlier version of kies

[say, Kies_1.5.3.10103_102_1 (19 Nov 2010) or Kies_2.0.0.11011_16_5 (05 Jan 2011)].

This is because most recent versions of kies read firmware versions direct from the phone.

I have personally used the above versions with Kies Patcher and they worked successfully.

But when I tried with the latest kies version [Kies_2.0.1.11053_66_6 (15 June 2011)],

hoping to trick kies by entering an old firmware version (S8500XXJF4/S8500XENJF3) into Kies Patcher,

kies deteted that there is a firmware upgrade for my phone. When I clicked to upgrade, kies stopped half-way,

displaying that the latest firmware XXJL2 is already installed on my phone.

So to avoid this happening in your case, install an earlier kies version, and use kies patcher to upgrade your phone.

I include below some firmware combinations for South Africa. Try the combinations one by one (starting from the unbranded firmwares).

Hopefully one of them will work for you. Best of luck.
