[General Questions and Answers] PhotonTorpedo:
Hello, I am officially considering getting T-Mobile Unlimited 4G service and want to know the entire array of devices I can choose from before committing to a purchase. I have been researching here and

elsewhere across the internet for days intensively and have answered some of my questions. I'm a bit obsessive about my choice of tech and think it would be useful to compile a list of all devices that will

fit my demands:

I demand full 42Mbps HSPA+ (if it only goes to 21, 14, 7.2 or less, I am NOT interested; Portland,OR has 42 service as far as I know) support on either AWS: 1700/2100, PCS: 1900/? (refarmed) or both. As for

LTE...I am less certain on how this will mesh with their refarming plans and with current/future devices. Ideally, my device will be able to choose between HSPA+ now and LTE in the future, but I can accept

just HSPA+ and would still like to see those devices included in this discussion. I am interested in devices T-Mobile sells directly, AT&T devices that could be unlocked for Magenta, international version

imports and any other devices that could be made to work.

Questions:

1. Is T-Mobile going to migrate ALL of their current HSPA+ coverage off of AWS and onto PCS? How quickly? Any downsides to having a device that supports one band but not the other?

2. What will the LTE situation be like? What bands/compatibilities would make a device future proofed for their upcoming network? Which devices have/will have it?

So far, I have confirmed (I think?) that the following devices support at least 42Mpbs HSPA+ on the AWS (1700/2100) band (exception noted):

HTC Amaze 4G

HTC One S

Google (LG) Nexus 4 (possible unofficial LTE support on Tmo via software tweak)

Samsung Galaxy Note (SGH-T879 T-Mobile version)

Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889 T-Mobile version; also possible future access to LTE on Tmo)

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G (SGH-T699 T Mobile version), with QWERTY Keyboard

Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-I757M for Telus, SGH-T989 for T-Mobile)

Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH-T999 T-Mobile version)

Sony Xperia ion HSPA (lt28h, international unlocked version)

Sony Xperia T (LT30a; also possible future access to LTE on Tmo)

I would love to update this post and expand the list as confirmations come in; I have mostly just researched higher end devices so plenty of older/midrange devices could also fit the criteria. Thanks to all who contribute:laugh:! I hope this info can help others as well.
[General Questions and Answers] mine420:
Is it the Xperia ion LTE lt28i/lt28at or the lt28h that has full t-mobile lte?
[General Questions and Answers] TJBunch1228:
The tmo blaze, sii, sensation and amaze also support 42+
[General Questions and Answers] PhotonTorpedo:
As far as I can tell, the Xperia ion HSPA (lt28h) is the only ion that supports the HSPA+ 42 speeds. The other devices are the LTE variants for AT&T and international.:p

I can find no evidence that the HTC Sensation 4G supports full 42Mbps, only up to 14.4Mbps according to this review: PCMag review (can't post links:crying:)

I added all others you listed, thanks!:highfive:
[General Questions and Answers] TJBunch1228:
My mistake, you are correct about the Sensation. I apologize for the error.
[General Questions and Answers] fn_noobee:
The Sony Xperia T LT30A Unlocked version is compatible on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network (both current AWS spectrum and the new re-farmed 1900mHz spectrum). It also has LTE radio that will operate on the future T-Mobile AWS spectrum (1700/2100) that will be reserved for LTE once the "re-farming" project is complete. Finally, it is HSPA+ 42Mbps capable. I may get one of these myself if the price is right.

Also, I can't believe no one has listed one of the most obvious ones... the Nexus 4! Not available on Play Store but still can be found on eBay for a slightly (or sometimes really) inflated price.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
I have a rooted HTC Hero (Sprint) and during preparations for upgrading to CM7 I ran into issues with ROM Manager.

First, I backed up everything (apps and data) via two different methods. I cleared davlik cache, and then performed a CWM Flash Recovery backup. Once that completed successfully, I sought out to apply the CM7 ROM. I selected it from the GUI menu, rather than rebooting into the Flash Recovery. I selected to backup everything and then wipe the data/cache. During the process, the phone hung (white HTC screen for over 10 minutes). I could reboot successfully after this, and selecting "Recovery" didn't work either. I figured my phone was bricked. But miraculously, it managed to finally recover.

The recovered ROM was a fresh clean slate. So, I installed ROM Manager and Titanium backup again. However, when I tried to reboot to the CWM Flash Recovery, or even try entering the CWM CUI menu from power up (by holding the HOME key), the phone hangs. Something is seriously screwed up with ROM Manager. I'd like to wipe it completely clean and start over, but everything I've tried results in a phone that hangs. I'm now thinking I should use a different program for managing the ROMs... but, being familiar with ROM Manager and seeing other people use it successfully, I feel determined to make it work. Any suggestions?

I would just flash an RUU and start from scratch.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
I was able to recover.

What I didn't realize is that the first boot can take upwards of 20-30 minutes. I pulled the battery after around 15 minutes, thinking my phone had hung.

Anyway, when I selected "Recovery" again I left the phone alone and eventually I got a stock ROM again. Whew! :D

While ClockworkMod is fine for 2.1, when you're on 2.3 there's no question that TWRP is the way to go. I've flashed it to my phone (did "flash_image recovery [recoveryfilename.img]") from the terminal window and it's working great, far more extensive than ClockworkMod.

When on a call the ear piece is way to loud even with the volume turned all the way down seems to be a issue only on Cm10 Roms... any ideas....

I suppose if you've already done some good searching in the CM10 threads or any ROM based on it and didn't find anything, you must be solo in this too loud ear piece thing. Sorry bud. :confused:

Edit : ok, I was being a wise ass..It's a known issue. Seriously if you read the threads you would have found that out pretty quick. Try while in a call, turning the volume up first, then down. That tends to work.
[HTC One X] Istiak:
Hello Devs,

I am facing a wired problem while using OneXed Camera Mod-V3.0 | HQ Camera | Sense 4.1 & Sense 4.5 | AROMA | this mod is for Deodex roms but I installed it on rooted stock (odex) 2.17 base and all worked fine with zero issues. The thing I liked about it that it does not set the brightness to max when I open the camera app. But yesterday I flashed a stock 2.17 base deodex rom and later flashed this camera mod. Unfortunately now when I open the camera the brightness goes to max like the stock camera app.

# My question is should the mod meant to set the brightness to max when flashed or not? if not

# How do I get the camera to not set brightness to max?

Please help....!! thanks in advance.....:good:

My English might be bad but still understandable right....;)

Edit: Thanks Devs, the problem is fixed now. All I did just flashed it again selecting Sense 4.5 and now its working as it should be

Edit: Moderator please delete this thread as the problem is solved now.

Any kernel for aosp ROM. Unless your ROM is based off the leak job. But if I checked correctly baked is aosp. So you can flash kt747, faux123 kernel, cm10 kernel and the other one I don't remember.

You will have to try them to see which works better on your phone. Not all phones are the same.

Thank you for posting a reply so fast. I'm really digging this site. I was on an iphone 4 jailbroken before I bought my gf a gs3. once I saw what it could do I got one right away.

Also, if I'm running ktoonsez's d2att jb 10.3.2012c am I already using kt747? Seems like I would be. I only asked about "sammy" kernel because ktoonsez posted about it working better.

Hey everybody I was just wondering if it was worth to do it...

Will the overall performance of my tablet be affected to better?

I have some small experience with rooting and installing new roms on my phone, (epic 4g touch) but i know nothing of rooting and installing new roms to tablets.

Thanks :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Rasmux:
No answer? Helloooo somebody out there lol?
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Hi, and welcome!

First sorry that you waited so long for a response. It's been a slow Sunday at XDA as far as I can tell.

And it's kinda difficult to give you an answer that everyone would agree with. But I'll give you my take on it. You could change out the words "Why do I" for "Is it worth it" in the following if you like.

Why do I root my tablet? Mainly for bootanimations, system tweaks, like the gps fix we used to have to use to get the gps even marginally functional (That's not an issue anymore, so no worries). I also like to mess with very noobish mod attempts. Noobish, but it makes me smile when I do something neat. Things like that. There are plenty more reasons but I think that should reflect the gist of it.

Why do I unlock my devices (read; install custom bootloader in this case.) and install custom roms? Mainly because of neat features that are above and beyond what the manufacturer includes. For instance the Acer Ring (Some like it, some don't.). as well as tweaks already performed by the chef, like that gps fix I mentioned. Then there is overclocking and the custom kernels.

I'm sure that you probably already know all of this, and while our tablet is really great stock and will do just fine. I think that it is improved using a custom rom. Plus, since it is a tablet rather than a phone, it isn't as critical if something goes wrong when you are goofing around installing the rom or unlocking. No one wants a brick. But it's gotta be a little less of a major problem on a tablet than a phone.

The only real downside of installing the custom bootloader that I know of would be that some users (including myself.) report a flicker and the homescreen going blank on rare occasion and the icons dissapear, but restarting the launcher fixes it. Just put a shortcut in the lockscreen to a home switcher. Thanks to loth77 for that tip. But it isn't something that everyone gets and it's not that big of a drag. I can't really think of any other negatives.

Here's probably the most important thing that you should remember. Get your CPUID in case something goes wrong. The tab is bulletproof if you have that. Here's a link to help understand the whys and hows.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624645. Remember to get the drivers from acer, and if something doesn't work try changing usb ports, usb cable, or even the pc.

That should pretty much be the long and short of it. Hope it helps. And good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rasmux:
Hey thanks a lot, I think I might root it, Im familiar with flashing roms but the Bootloaders are new to me, can you tell me why do I need to unlock it to install a rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
If I understand the process correctly it is something about the way that the bootloader does its security checks. If you have a stock bootloader it looks for the stock rom only. If it doesn't find a rom/kernel that it expects you get to see the android on it's back. The custom bootloader doesn't mind a custom rom. If you want a technical answer maybe someone smarter than myself could explain it better. But I think that is pretty close.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
And you said it, more or less ;)

With ICS, the bootloader and boot.img communicate. A lot. Neither wish to run properly as they should. In the beginning, we hacked the ICS kernel to run on an HC bootloader. It worked and gave system somewhat RW, but is was crappy to say the least, and caused display irregularities on boot, and sometimes during operation. But when Skrilax_CZ started working on the ICS Bootloader, we could run an ICS kernel, and still get somewhat root and /system RW. But the RW was crappy, and required re-mounting /system all the time.

Having root, without /system RW, is like having a hamburger without the burger. Yeah, it kinda looks like it, but still....

Thus the "tweaked" ICS boot.img came out. Basically the same kernel, but the Zimage has some mods to it. Namely changing the part that prevented RW. And thus, the fully unlocked, fully RW system came out. And technically, you don't need busybox. Just SU. But busy box has to be there for other deals.

So now, to get the full unhindered benefit of both worlds, it's required to change bootloaders. We can do this via NVFlash, because we have the Secured Bootloader Key algorithm (SBK).

Also, HC based Roms WILL NOT run on the ICS bootloader, locked or unlocked. So if ya wanna play ball in our park, ya hafta play by our rules.

You can get your root under a stock ICS bootloader, but, you will have issues with system RW. This I promise.

Also with the unlocked bootloader, you get "fastboot" functions. Consider it your last line of defense. But for those that know how to use it, it's better than flashing certain things.

[Acer Iconia A500] Prof24:
For what this is worth, as a total noob to all this I decided to try the custom bootloader. Knowing from bricking a Wii once, I made a nand and a rom backup, got my CPUID using blackthund3r's ACER manager for those using ICS (just an incredible thing), and got to work.

I made an error and got hung in APX mode and initially I had at least three heart attacks when I thought I'd bricked; however I figured there had to be a way out as tablet still came on and I had done all the above. Reran Acer manager, changed my previous decision, and soon (within 5 mins) boatloader patched. I've since tried so many roms I've lost count.

Regrets? Not one. It's faster and better. Reading this thread, however, and learning that with a CPUID the tablet is bulletproof makes me feel even better! If you're a noob like me, it's a little scary, but backup, get a nand and the CPUID, Acer Mgr, follow the directions and go for it. After all I went through, if I can do it, so can you!

I am using a Xperia tipo dual and I have already unlocked my bootloader to gain root access from bin4ry, thank him so much :good:

The problem is that I have deleted some system apps without backing up them so I think I should use sony companion software or SUS to repair.

As far as I know, updating firmware OTA on an unlocked one will brick it, so does using SONY Companion or Sony Update Service brick unlocked-bootloader phones if I try to repair and create a ftf?

Thank you in advance.
