[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
I'm new to the xperia world and I've done a lot of reading but didn't find the answer so...

I've installed the full ftf .544 firmware through flashtool without issues a few weeks ago and yesterday I've received the 50mb OTA with 6.1.1.B.1.54 and installed it without issues to.

The thing is, the .544 had the language Portuguese from Portugal and Portuguese from Brasil, but after OTA updating to 6.1.1.B.1.54 I only have Portuguese from Brasil. Is this normal?

I've downloaded the full ftf file for the 6.1.1.B.1.54 version and tryed to install it like I did with the older .544 but while following the flashtool procedure when It tells me to unplug usb,power off and press vol down+power + usb cable, the phone is not doing anything, just boots up normally, it doesn't initiate the flashing procedure like before. Am I doing something wrong?

I have the same problem while doing the procedure to obtain root, because the procedure with flashtool is about the same if I'm not mistaken.

also, can anyone that flashed the FULL ftf 6.1.1.B.1.54, check your language settings and le me know if you have both Portuguese languages (BR and PT) ?

Thank you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Just checked on my U with B1.54 and I have Portuguese from Brazil and Portugal. And, reagarding flashtool part, make sure you plug in usb part of cable to the computer first before plugging in the phone to the cable when Flashtool asks to ;) And yeah dude, No need to hold the power button, Just the Volume down key :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
thanks for checking. (So the U uses the same firmware as the P?!)

I'll try and flash it once again when I get home like you are saying.

maybe it's my flashtool that is to old (9.0.0)... I've downloaded the new 9.9.0 just in case :)

tks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
They're not the same but I doubt that Languages would differ in U & P firmware. Anyway, I think its the power button or the difference in connecting first phone or cable that caused an issue, older version of Flashtool wouldnt be an issue ;) All the same, make sure you have the necessary drivers installed ;) [ Check the Drivers folder in Flashtool to get the correct driver ]
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
now that i think about it...I wasn't using the usb cable from the xperia... it was from a different phone. maybe that's the cause.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
Confirmed...it was the usb cable i was using.

Thank you all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Good to hear ;) Enjoy mate ! You know how to root right ? Flash the B1.10 kernel, root by normal means, then flash the 1.54 kernel after that :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
Thks. Once i realized the cable problem i did all of it, fw, camera fix,recovery and root.

Although I had to ask my girlfriend a moment ago to flash the last part of the root process(.54 kernel) because I forgot... And that was probably causing the battery trouble I mentioned on my q&a previous post lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daxten:
Hi there,

I had this problem with all ROMs so far, atm I'm using HD 8.0 Rom with XXLH1 Radio / RIL and Franco #342.

My mobile shows a good reception and Wlan is working. When I try to make a call I just get a single "beep" and it hungs up immediatly. Sms dont arrive, I can't be called and I dont receive SMS

When I activate Airplanemode and deactivate it again everything works fine, until it starts after some time again.

Is this a known issue? What info you need to help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
could you connect your 3G data while you can't make the call ?

and see if flash other RADIO helps , i have had that kinda problem as well , flashed other radio just be fine ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darKpoiSonend:
Hi,

i'm having a problem with bluetooth control (AVRCP)

when i'm trying to control my musicplay (poweramp) using my BT Headphone, then it first turns on the screen and after that it changes the to the next song, without turning the screen of afterwards.

1. is there a way to disable screen on? (i think that also because of that, the controls are very slow)

2. if not, is there a way to directly lock the screen again afterwards?

thanks :)

Cool. I didn't know this phone supported gsm bands.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] CornholioGSM:
this phone is global:

4G Network	LTE 1900
[Sprint LG Optimus G] agurzhiy:
no wcdma 2100?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] CornholioGSM:
hmmm must be tested
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latindor17:
4G Network LTE 1900?? I thought this phone would support LTE on 800 band... That's a shame considering Sprint is planning on moving it's spectrum from 1900 to 800.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] phillies1again:
Wow this is really exciting. What's the level of expertise required to pull this off?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] CornholioGSM:
....CAN YOU PLEASE TEST FOR ME INTERNAL SIM IC AND POST RESULTS?

Download from market Sim Card (gsmdev), then go to dial - then dial *#*#4636#*#* - then phone information - set GSM auto (prl) - restart and run Sim Card app.

Thanks :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hsccr:
Could you know me about UMTS 2100(wcdma 2100)?

I just want to is ir really have sim card slot +cdma network support or it is CDMA only?

if there is no sim slow then Gsmarena should not write GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

if i do steps in first postm it will word on 2G GSM networks?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] funkym0nk3y:
so i m just done with doing this mod and i can confirm that this doesnt work for gsm, heck it doesnt even stick to gsm only. It reads up all the info from the sim however but doesnt sticks to gsm network. The screenshots posted by OP are of photon q
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
I wonder if flashing a GSM modem from one of the other Optimus G variants would work? Or is the issue with the rom?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] funkym0nk3y:
I dont knw, maybe thr is a risk of bricking the phone by flashing some other variant modem. Can we try to flash the JB leaked rom ? The thing is, the network doesnt change to GSM, the sim mod is working CDMA sim card only which is pretty useless since we can flash the same on the phone :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] agurzhiy:
First did you try to open *#*#4636#*#* and set GSM only?

and the second - someone was posting that he flashed Korean FW and everything was working except modem, thus try to do it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sansara_2001:
This code does not work with the model LS970

to 3845 # * 970 #
[Sprint LG Optimus G] agurzhiy:
Both of them works!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ysabxe:
So this MOD works with GSM... or not?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kai1:
im interested also)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] maxrusakoff:
someone tried to turn on gsm on this phone?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Enzopreme:
I think it's a bull$hit thread. Mods should close it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
The mod is based on a known working mod on the Photon Q. If the way the SIM IC is handled by the OS is similar, it is in theory a viable mod. The only thing this one is lacking is verification mainly do to the level of skill needed, the balls to try it, the repercussions if it doesn't work or is not done correctly.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Enzopreme:
So basically everything? lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
someone on irc did the physical mod.. which is confirmed working. the issue was having the software actually use gsm. something along the lines of a nexus 4/att optimus g mod would be needed... possibly also using att modem and efs partitions as well.

these mods mainly suit users outside the USA that own these devices and have no CDMA network in their country.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
True, I was looking at the mod from an engineering standpoint and the OP's previous history with this type of work. The mod is sound however as auto pointed out there is a soft side issue that needs to be resolved. This is something that I had already taken into consideration when I made my initial post.

As far as I'm concerned the mod is valid but unfinished, kinda like CM is right now. I'm curious what your response would have been just a few days ago if I had said you could debloat and remove system apps on a locked LGOG without bricking it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] CornholioGSM:
...as i say...this mod was not tested. Connection between sim and mainboard must work - you can test it with sim app from market.

I mean is needed additional setting in phone - maybe this can fix custom rom.

If is here problem i can contact admin for lock or delete this thread.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Enzopreme:
I've had numerous Motorola devices before, some of which are yet to be unlocked, and i rememebr you working on the photon. and they figured out how to debloat and remove system app as well as overclock and other things, so that I would've definitely believed. But when a post says the SIM card mod is HERE, but as not been tested so it is not confirmed to work, i just think thats standing on a fine line between false advertising and truthful post.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] agurzhiy:
No way! do not delete! it is really important mod

wich works - modfication to add sim-card instead eSim is working. The next part is software, but nobody has tested yet.

i'll test it when i'll have a spare time.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] CornholioGSM:
okay :) .... let me know
[Sprint LG Optimus G] maxrusakoff:
Oh!

Hi for ALL.

I have already done this mod.

After that i install the SIM CARD info from PlayMarket and i saw information about my sim card. But, my sim card has a pin code and the phone ignore it.

After that i try to flash any different mod firmware from another model and brick my phone :) After that i resurrect my phone with JTAG and convert it to LG Nexus 4. WOW! My phone asked me about pin! But still no network connection. Now im trying to connect it to GSM Network.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
you may need a nexus 4 efs to bypass this issue. or any efs from one of the other gsm lg optimus g's... so e970, e973/1, e975..

and after that you may have to sim unlock your phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] maxrusakoff:
Thanks!

Thanks for your help.

Now im trying to fing GSM EFS Backuped :)

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

So, I found EFS from AT&T, after installed it my phone install sim application for my Operator but still no network founded :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] maxrusakoff:
When i try to check SIM Lock Status or Network lock - Your phone is not personalized :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] williamjr27:
When this mod becomes fully functional will you be able to use the ls970 on other networks such as T-Mobile? I have been looking into different ways to try to do this over the past week and have come up with nothing lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
did you enter network unlock code based on your imei in the current efs youre using?

based on your modem and new efs.. the phone thinks its a gsm phone and needs a sim unlock. there may also be more to it :/

no ones come this far with the mod yet :/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] maxrusakoff:
I buy LG e970 AT&T and unlock it. Than backup EFS at e970 and resore that backup at LS970. Still no luck ;( May be Sprint lock GSM networks at NVRAM. Now im trying to find any information about unlocking GSM network at Sprint devices.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
copying over the E970 EFS is the same as editing NVRAM, no?

All the NV settings from E970 should now be copied into your LS970.

are you still getting "not personalized" message?

if we copy over EVERY single partition from e970 over to ls970 what else could possibly be done? it would seem at that point that the hardware itself goes not support gsm. perhaps we dont have the antenna for it(despite having a SoC that can support GSM.. 8064)?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] harrybear25:
wow

Man this looks scary seems like something you try on your old pos phone not your insane fast sweetest phone ever
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sh_a_w:

New info

The thread is very usefull and interesting. Is it still alive? I need solution. I can try to help to maki it work (sure if I can).

I can give you some new info.

First of all: Sim card tray with holder (like in iphones) could be connected to the mainboard. There is a connector for sim card holder with tray, SO YOU DO NOT NEED TO SOLDER ANYTHING, but I can not find where to buy it. (just found tray on alibaba)

Second: I have E975 back cover installed on my LS970 phone. They are compatible, there just two differences betwwen them: 1 E975 cover does have hole for the sim card tray. 2 there are some difference in anrtennas flat cables names (but only names, positions are the same, and everything should work. Maybe it is because I bought it in chinies store and it was manufactured with this mistake.)

Need people who have E975 model (E973 and F180 and other appreciated too) firstly - to inspect hardware (sim card holder actually) and secondly - to backup fullflash, it migt be need to try to download it in LS970 phone.

Also needed genius, who knows what to do with E975 fullflash and have LS970 to test
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
GSM

GSM and CDMA Antennas must be built in speaker assembly. It does have two coaxial cables connected to it. White is

CDMA, because I have inspected where it is connected in mainboard and found it is connected to avago a7354 chip,

which is "3x5 Cdma Cellular & Pcs Dual-band Power Amplifier Module With Integrated Coupler".

So the black one must be GSM cable, because CDMA, is white, and LTE, WIFI, BT and NFC flat antennas assembled in back

cover (see previous post attachments). But I am not 100% sure, because chip, which black coaxial is connected to (on

my mind) protected by shield, which is soldered to mainboard and I can not remove it to see part number (like it was made for A7354 chip).

Any help on this question appressiated.

Also I must say that LS970 phone have IMEI number in "phone info". So I think it could work in GSM networks, but we

only need to know how to turn it on in software.

I think you should try software from e975 INSTEAD e970 to be installed. It must be global phone, cause I can not foung info in google about this phone is locked to some network.

PM me if you need some help. It will be very great if we'll make it work

Soldered SIM holder. Install an international firmware from E975 (Emirates). It works fine. But does not see the Sim! It looks like the driver to vary the sim holder. How to install drivers SIM Holder without LS970 firmware?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sh_a_w:
Hello!

Studied the scheme LS970 and E975: they have different modems, LS970 -> MDM9615, E975 -> MDM9215M.

MDM9615 support GSM? If yes, how to change the MDM9615 modem driver firmware in E975?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
Hey bro, where did you get schematics? Can you post download links here? Maybe also you can uploade docs for E970 and E973 and chinies model?

Seems to have good news:

iphone 5 uses mdm9615 modem and it is global and supports multinetwork, am I right?

here is qualcomm.com/chipsets/gobi (click specs) must support almost all networks.

Where to get modem part of E975 firmware?

LS970 modem must work with GSM too, maybe it is soft locked in microprogramm? I am not fond of it.

Guys, who can help with this questions? Please help
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sh_a_w:
If LS970 to flash international firmware E975 the phone does not see SIM!

I think because there is no signal the presence of SIM!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
I will compare hardware later.

Did you flashed just modem or fullflash? Or stock firmware? How did you flashed (USB or CWM)? Do you have root, unlocked boot etc? It may not work because boards have different modems, which need different programs. Can you send also E970 schem to see which modem is there 9215 or 9615. Also I will compare with E973 hardware.

Maybe it will see just after reboot. It will not see for sure if you insert card while phone is on. Or does it soldered to MB with wires?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sh_a_w:
I'm flash stock firmware E975 in to LS970.

In attach schem 970.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sh_a_w:
Maybe you just have to switch to GSM modem using AT commands! Who thinks that?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
I only hope for this, but don't know for sure. We just need help from any body else, who is fond of compiling kernels. boots, modems, who knows what we are talking about.

As we decided that modem supports GSM networks and we can see that phone accepts sim-cards and read sim data so I am sure for 90% there is some software switch, which can enable GSM support in LS970 modem. (it is similar to software switches CDMA/GSM/UMTS modes in settings menu of Incredible S, for example). Maybe it just must be realised in system settings menu and no need to reflash modem, but maybe it must be activated in modem microprogram... It is hard to me to know for sure.

By the way, Are you sure E975 software you flashed to LS970 includes modem? Maybe just android system was flashed to your phone?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FilesTx:
It is possible to buy just the board that incorporates the sim card and replace it by this ls970 in "ic yes"?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
а по русски можно, ато я не понял ничего
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FilesTx:
Já vi que sabes falar Russo , Parabéns!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] FilesTx:
I wonder if you can buy just the "socket / Part phone board" that uses the SIM card "

If this is possible, I can replace that socket .... by my chip "IC SIM" on my phone ..... so I get to the SIM card slot
[Sprint LG Optimus G] liarwiz:
I think it will not work. There are differences in hardware

In the LS970 uses Avago 7354 (3x5 CDMA Cellular & PCS Dual-Band Power Amplifier Module with Intergrated Coupler -- ACPM-7354)

In the GSM version uses Avago 7251 (Quad-Band GSM/EDGE and Dual-Band UMTS Power Amplifier)

LS970 will work only in CDMA networks.

I think I just killed any hope
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
If that's the case y does sprint list our first phone as a world phone if the gsm side is unable to be used natively?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] liarwiz:
I think you can use it all over the world, ..... but only in CDMA networks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Their is so many diffrent settings and options for gsm i think it could be done... software wise we r just missing that one thing.. ive just started playing with the gsm stuff on the phone and found a few interesting things but nothing new to the rest on here lol....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
I've some how gotten my phone to work on 900 band ... That's not a normal band for it to work on is it ?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alexamber91:
So you forced it to work in GSM?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
Not sure what do you mean? You have LS970 and you made it to work with 900MHz GSM provider?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
It shows up in dfs as rx-900mhz
[Sprint LG Optimus G] zlebors:
how bout some build.prop mod like on motorola bionic or razr xt912?

well I've done build.prop on motorola bionic (ICS 4.0.4) and finally it become single-on cdma-gsm, you just need to change between simcards and add APN (for gsm)

EVDO Rev-B and HSDPA profit (since there is no LTE yet in my country)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
SO, anybody know solution?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
I think the person who was working on this moved on ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Well here I go with my my solution let's c if between this and mine we get gsm kicking ....

Sent from my fingertips to your eyeballs !
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
This is what I get so far running gsm ROM on my phone ... Do I know just enter my CDMA info or do I need to remove chip and actualy see if gsm is truly enabled ?

This also show on non stock jb ...

Currently runing paranoide android latest version ...

Does this give any sign that with the way I am running gsm works or would work ?

Sent from my fingertips to your eyeballs !
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
well ive done the mod... using this gsm rom i get no sim.....

i have one that ive cut down and trying .....

does it need to be a micro sim or can i use my chooped down one ?

Edit: been able to get it on strictly gsm...

Still sim card isn't working ... Maybe cause its not active idk yet ...

Edit : Have to keep a radio that has lte disabled or it picks up CDMA as preferred...

Edit:know managed to break one of my antenna wire ends off .. Errr...plus when I took sim chip off the chip below came off to ... But that for NFC I believe and IDC I don't use NFC... Volume works and buttons work along with vibrate and WiFi ... So heck idk IDC I'm going slowly lol...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Here's pics with it wanting sim and options for gsm....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
Don't you have sim-card inserted to test if it will register in network and make a call?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
i have two sims but they wernt active ...last sim i got is for tracfone thats active.... but they wont work atleast i dont believe.... i believe they search for treacfone software...

the sims i tried using were older but never activated so i thought i could just get them activated but was wrong ....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
do you have sim connector installedf in ls970? Or you resolder sim-cards?

Tracfone is GSM carrieer? Can you try ATT or Tmobile sim cards?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
nothing is soldered and no connector....

yea i know tracfone is gsm just havent gotten to that sim yet..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
so how are you going to connect sim carg with phone?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Right know it's apart and have it weighted down with and electrical tape thrown on lol...not best idea ever but it let's me test at least...

Just glad I have a new optimus g to use ..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
Can you take photo to see how sim-card is connected?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Yes I will when I get home ...
