[T-Mobile LG G2x] shadowpr2007:
EDIT: T MOBILE IS REFARMING 1700 AWS BAND for use WITH LTE and it means no HSPA+ on our G2x.

T mobile is moving HSPA+ to 1900 PCS band

Time for t mobile to give us a new phone :D

look thishttp://www.fiercewireless.com/story/t-mobile-launch-lte-2013-aws-spectrum-divested-att/2012-02-23

OUR G2xis officially dead now

waht you think will happen to us g2x customers?

and this http://www.tmonews.com/2012/02/t-mobile-ceo-philip-humm-and-cto-neville-ray-outline-company-plans/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I'm not sure how you got the G2x is dead from those articles. To me, it looks like T-Mobile is getting some additional spectrum from AT&T and is going to use it to deploy LTE. HSPA+ is going to be around for quite a while.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I don't see how this move kills the G2x?

It's already been EOL'd. But devs are keeping this device alive just like any of the other old T-Mobile phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pitflyer:
Huh... Why?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] south69_dallas:
i think it doesnt matter a whole lot to what lg does or doesnt do because we have alot of devs who do support the g2x and in those to articles it is not confirmed that the g2x or any other lg device will stop being supported.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Lol. That title is a bit hilarious, even more so that the ics ports are coming through.

I could understand the title of this thread in LG forums, but here..... Tell that to the devs who are Still updating and making badass roms for this phone.

Well that was a waste of time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
He is obviously right guys, he is just some random guy with less than 20 posts so he obviously knows everything. We should all listen to him and take a hammer to our G2x's, milk the insurance while we still can. (And get a replacement Galaxy S 4G? Yeah, right.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
All that LTE news is irrelevant to the status of the G2x, which we already knew, was EOL'd.

We also know good and well LG doesn't really care. They're out pushing all kinds of devices for 2012, they'll probably deliver a half-assed ICS update for the Optimus 2x way later in the year, that we'll have to port. I STRONGLY believe T-Mobile will never get ICS from LG pushed through to us G2x owners. So we are literally left to our own devices. So we shouldn't really care about their progress anyway

I believe we are in the hands of our developers at XDA and RootzWiki. THEY decide when the G2x is dead. They'll probably have CM9 Release Candidates ready for us before the update even arrives for the Optimus. When they stop supporting us, I'll consider this phone dead.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Lol seriously, I'm running EB 2.3.7 v2.8 and Trinity ELP underclocked to 750mhz, I get days battery life and I feel it's smoother than my step dad's stock SGS2.

This phone is going to be alive and well for a long time.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Uhh, I don't agree with the Optimus part (if you mean the Optimus 2x) all arcee is doing is porting his O2x builds to the G2x, so we'll have RC's and nightly support at the exact same day, on the exact same time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
Oops, I phrased it wrong there then. I meant to say the we'd get CM9 updates before LG even pushes their official update to the Optimus 2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
wow! OP loled me :) LTE won't replace HSPA+, it will work in addition to HSPA+
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shadowpr2007:
if you read they will be turning off 1700 HSPA+ off and they will moving it to 1900 BAND which the G2x does not support........... you should twink twice before posting.. means no HSPA+ for our beloved G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
I don't see where it says that tthey are gonna turn off the 1700Mhz band.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I read it says that they are gonna use the 1900Mhz band, which is currently the 2G bands, nd swap that out for the new LTE HSPA+
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shadowpr2007:
they are clearing out there 1700 band for use it with LTE thats why they are moving HSPA+ to 1900 band
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
How in the world is this suppose to effect T-Mobile G2x!!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
The T-Mobile G2x is quadband, I think 1900 is one of the bands it supports, so this doesn't actually mean anything to us G2x users.

And I'm no genius when it comes to things like this, but why would they just clear out that band when all of their 4G phones use it? Just go ahead and trash all the 4G phones they already have out? Why wouldn't they just put LTE on the 1900 band.

Also, isn't the 1900 band used for their 2G? I don't see why they would trash that either.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

If you got a new phone it would most likely be a refurbished Galaxy S 4G.

EDIT: Yeah, the G2x definitely supports the 1900 band.

EDIT 2: http://g2.t-mobile.com/g2x#Specs

"Band/frequency: Quad band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), Dual band UMTS (1700/2100 MHZ Bands 1 & 4)" straight from the T-Mo website. No network would ever just trash all of their previous 4G phones for LTE.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
^ that is GSM, and well GSM is 2G ><

Almost everysingle phone is quadband GSM,,

but only few phones have true support for almost all 3G bands, that will work with ATT 3G as well as T-Mobile 3G. I can only think of Nokia N9 and Nokia N8.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I know, but it still doesn't seem like T-Mo would clear out a whole band that all of their 4G phones use and trash all of their 4G phones for LTE, when they could clear out another band.

Shouldn't they use lower frequency bands so that they will penetrate building walls better? That's a problem I have always had with T-Mo, sketchy signals inside malls and such.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
There is really lack of phones that support 1700MHz.

Especially looking at phones from Sony Ericsson & Sony as well as newest Nokia phones.

I am all for switching to 1900MHz.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
I don't understand your response, all for bumping HSPA+ to 1900? Or for putting LTE on 1900.

Is 1700 T-Mo's only 4G band? If so then why would they clear that out if all of the 4G phones they already have are made to use that band and won't be able to get 4G anymore.

Yeah your plan wont change if you upgrade, if you have unlimited than you will always have it unless you tell them to change your plan. But once you have them change your plan, i.e Data from unlimited to a peak plan than you can never go back to unlimited unless you switch to sprint.

Hello all, i have an HTC sensation and would really like to get out of my contract without paying ETF, i am going studying aboard withing the next 4 months and my contract is not up till another year and a half,

I was following this slickdeals thread about cancelling with t-mobile and one of the steps states you can get out of contract if you are constantly roaming,

http://slickdeals.net/f/3981466-Cancel-T-Mobile-Contract-ETF-free?

is there any way i can force my phone to roam on att's towers? any help is apprecaited :)

I know there was a way to do this on my old evo and the ATT speeds where phenominal lol
[HTC Sensation] johnny12times:
You don't need to do that. If you can prove that you are going to be in a place without normal coverage, aka, you are leaving the country, they will cancel your contract for free, though if you still owe on the price of the phone, you still have to pay for that no matter what.

Using XDA premium, you should be too! :D
[HTC Sensation] raul602:
well thank you sir! still wonder if there is a way i can force roam if i need to
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
pop in another sim and unlock the phone
[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
another SIM would imply you are paying some other carrier ?!? (which defeats the purpose)

I'd also like to know how you force a GSM phone on to a different network.. ie. when I search for network operators, I might see Tmobile and AT&T, but I can't get it to use AT&T even when its available..
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
You can pick your carrier in the network settings but if roaming is not allowed in your area, you won't be able to connect. Otherwise your sim will still default you back to tmo. I know back in the day you could alter the priorities. Don't know how to do that on android. Might be blocked at the sim level.

you really need to be completely familiar with odin and recovery before flashing any test builds.

I wasn't sure acs had a recovery for ics. on to Odin. you are only going into download mode you need a computer with drivers installed and Odin installed. there are some stickies in the dev section that will help. also qbking has some videos on YouTube. btw sfhub has auto root stuff to help you get to where you wanna be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Absolutely. Please for the sake of your phone. Take some time and read and become very familiar with Odin before you do anything else. Once you have some that then Odin your phone back to stock and start fresh. There is a wealth of info out there just have to use it.

for how to do it, here's a youtube video describing the same !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6a0BWquqAc

also do some research before doing it !!

and be sure, never flash sbf files or use rsd lite after unlocking the bootloader !!!

i unlocked my bootloader using the automatic unlocker (but i was on 2.3.4[4.5.91]) !!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] good4y0u:
Well i need to unlock that to load custom roms right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caster62003:
It has been a while since I rooted/unlocked the bootloader of my phone, but if I remember correctly, I followed similar steps as these.

Currently, I am using CWMs Touch Recovery, can be downloaded from their site, then flashed to the recovery partition using fastboot, I'm sure you know how to do this if you rooted the phone via command prompt. Do a google search, otherwise and current recovery image will do find for what you need, but read the reviews before flashing, some fail hard.

Once that is all done, you pretty much are all set, CWM Touch allows for backups to be completed, flashes to occure and wipes to happen.

I would also suggest that instead of just sticking with just jokersax, I would also suggest to check out turls, also available from jokers site. I personaly find turls to be a little more stable, and I seem to have minimal issues with turls, but everytime I see an update is available, I still jump to that one just to see what is up, then I may or may not jump back down, only because I can :P

After using turls and jokers ICS images, I haven't seen any downsides compared to stock, CM7, or any variants of the like, I love me my ICS. As far as official updates go, I wouldn't be too concerned about that, unless if somewhere else documented, I don't think the ATRIX will be seeing any official updates, but if something does show up, there is a script available on this site to resotre back to stock, then updates should work just fine. This tool seems to do the trick, I've used it personaly myself, got me right back to the stock moto install.

You have to flash an SBF File to your phone Via RSDLite your phone will reboot a few times don't be scared

Then go to command prompt and type in command

fastboot oem unlock

Will give you Unique ID

Then type in

fastboot OEM unlock ############ unique ID

Then bam Unlocked bootloader

Make sure you use the correct SBF File for AT&T

And make sure you have A fastboot.exe file in your android sdk

To flash CWM flash it through the app first then flash it to your phone via Command Prompt

On command prompt type

fastboot flash recovery recovery press shift should auto correct make sure it is in the same folder as your Fastboot.exe

Once you unlock your bootloader - you cannot reverse it - its permanent... you can never re-lock it.

Not easily - it can be done.... Most NEW Roms are built off the OTA's and are better than the stock releases..... OTA's are not really a big deal. Biggest issue with unlocking your bootloader is that it instantly voids any/all warranties.

Wrong Version?

I am sure you guys are trying to help out, but most are missing an important fact in his request. I noticed this because I am looking for the same answer for the same version as the OP. 2.3.6

The solutions posted so far all refer to 2.3.4 and do not work with 2.3.6. The one updated thread with a link to a site that claims to work on 2.3.6, does not list the Atrix MB860 with 2.3.6, it does list it with 2.3.4.

This does not work, it gets an dialog box error "failed to chmod file: /data/local/tmp", then another that says "failed to get shell root"

The one thread that users claim it does work with 4.5.141.MB880.ATT.en.US, but that's not an option in the script. And they don't give a clue as to what steps they followed.

EDIT: Took a leap of faith, man that turned my stomach ( this is my wife's phone, I don't want to brick it ). I can confirm that the latest link past page 85 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871&highlight=automatic is valid as of 03/01/2012 and it is what I used. Followed the OP instructions and then then followed the prompts in the script. It did unlock, then I rooted and flashed CWM, option two.
