Motorola Q9h (rom update)

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, but this seem like the logical one.
I recently purchased a Motorola Q9h from Ebay and did not understand the different networks that are out there. So while the phone works on the Cingular network it only has Edge because to have 3G it has to be UTMS 1900 and the phone I have is set at UTMS 2100 which is a European network, so everytime I restart the phone it says that it cannot find a suitable network to connect to.
My question is, does anyone know if there is a possibility to do a ROM update to change the network portion. I am guessing no, because I am sure it is hardware based but I thought I would ask.
I should have just waited for the new phone to come out but I am like many others I am sure that we are impatient =P
If you can answer the question or have some suggestions please feel free to let me know =)
thanks,
Brad

answer one
Q9h_OnlyBP_MODEM4_U_40.11.40R_12
flash this BP（radio） file to you handset may help u
because most of q9h work in 1900(for ex att’s q9h
Europe network basic is in 2100
if it doesn't work
there is a selection in setting menu,which can change the handset's wave band from 1900 to 2100

How did you upgrade the Q 9h to WM 6.5, I am on AT&T. Is there anyway to get 6.5 for my phone?

Hello,
I have recently got a ATT Q9H Global and have flashed it to the ROM here
SHIP_NORMAN_AP_U_01_10_05R_MODEM4_U_40_11_40R_12_U SNORMAN25RTDER2W611A002_1FF-Enterprise-German_3801569218
Everything is working we'll, except the keyboard fix (Z/Y Interchanged). I'd like advise on two things;
1. How do I get 3G working. I am in Tanzania where the GSM signals are 900/1800.
2. Also - What do I need to do to get 6.5 - just flash, or downgrade to stock, then flash. If I flash with a 6.5 ROM - can you direct me to an APP unlocked, SIM/Network unlocked, Unbranded 6.5 that has GPS/3G?

02 UK Deisre abroad will it update to 2.2

as per subject
My Desire was bought from O2, so has it's firmware.
I'm moving abroad next month, will I still get an update to 2.2 ?
I won't be using O2.. will that stop me ?
Would I be better flashing it with a generic rom ?
Thanks

It's about choice...
Why you need flashing? if you Desire daily usage for Phone, SMS, Chat and Check Email and little bit Browse the net.. I think wait until official release for Desire much better than Rooted/Flashing your phone

Thanks for the reply.
I'd prefer not to flash or root it if I can help it.
The question really is will a UK O2 Desire automatically upgrade to 2.2 if used in New Zealand, with Vodafone ?
Thanks

Probably not. My understanding is that receiving updates is dependent on your current version. I'm on Meteor in Ireland, for example, but I won't receive any specific Meteor updates, because I have the generic HTC firmware.
So if you're on a kiwi network, with the O2 software, you'll get neither the HTC update nor any update your new network rolls out.
So either debrand now and get the HTC update whenever it's released, or wait until it comes out and flash the 2.2 rom directly.

One other thing you could do is take it to Vodafone in New Zealand and ask them to flash their own software on it. Since you're a new customer, they'll most likely oblige.
But that's if they even stock the Desire, btw. If they don't you'll have to do it yourself.
One thing to keep in mind re:carrier specific firmwares is that it may take an awfully long time for upgrades to trickle down. You could be looking at an additional month or more between HTC releasing it and your carrier releasing it.
And even when they do, they might disable certain features (wi-fi tethering, for example, isn't too popular with mobile operators)

Thanks
that is what I'd thought..
I suppose the only other thing would be if O2 released it for download, then I could manually install it !!
Are there still issues with wifi and the generic rom ?

Yeah, that's another way. Bookmark this link:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
The only issues were with people who people who debranded their phone and flashed to the generic rom. But for anybody else, there's no issues whatsoever.

Thanks
If I change the ROM is there any risk ? I'm not bothered about root, but would like to have the option of 2.2 when I'm not in the UK.
can you point me to a firmware flashing guide ?
Thanks again.

Well this is the latest (generic) rom update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
Very easy to install. Just download the .exe to your PC, and open it while your phone is plugged in. The installer will walk you through.
I don't know if it's that simple for branded phones though. You might have to debrand first... I honestly couldn't say. You might ask in that thread and list your FW number. Maybe somebody else will know.
You're sure it's a branded phone, yes? There's no .405 in the version number?

My firmware is : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'll ask in the other forum.
Thanks

[Q] can anyone help with my htc touch pro 2

I need windows 6.5 for Canada Telus HTC Touch Pro 2. Have they released a version for Canada? If so, where could I find it?
I've been trying to upgrade my OS and when I attempt to download the update it gives me an error saying "this download is not suitable for this device" I believe it is because the download is for european phones.
In addition to this question, has anyone had any success unlocking the Touch Pro 2 from Telus to Rogers?
A quick response would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you!!!

ROMs are carrier specific, for the most part. If it isn't on the HTC website, only Telus would be releasing a new ROM. Most carriers have stopped development since the phone has been discontinued. Not likely you'll see a new OEM ROM if one hasn't come out already.

that sucks!! I don't understand why the rest of the world is compatible with this upgrade but canadian clients arn't? doesn't make much sense to me. but thank you for the reply

Complain to your carrier. The stock ROMs are locked to the carrier they are released to by design. If Telus doesn't have an update for it on their website, then there isn't one available. As far as unlocking it to use on another cellular network, you would have to obtain an unlock code from your carrier. This would SIM unlock your device, allowing you to use any GSM carrier with your phone.

Not sure about the interchangeable ROMs. But as far as I know Telcel don't sell Lumia 900s that supports LTE.
Heck, not even the iPhone 5 is LTE at the moment. However iPhone 5 can be upgraded to LTE with a software update.

If you have 4G on your screen it is LTE, if you see H is HSPA,
I have a Rogers Lumia 900 LTE from Canada, and I had a lot of connectivity issues, I loaded it with Telcel MX firmware and I can tell you its the best ROM available.
1.- Fixed all Connectivity issues
2.- APN settings, including MMS are automatically detected
3.- Removed all Rogers Branding (Rogers Lumia 900 doesn't have any branding on the exteriors, so after flashing with Telcel ROM its like a new factory unlocked device with no branding at all)
4.- Telcel ROM doesn't have any operator custom preloaded apps
5.- The only thing I was nervous was the disappearance on the LTE logo, but apparently they only replaced LTE and HSPA+II by 4G.
6.- Internet Sharing started working (Didn't work with Rogers Firmware with my current carrier CLARO)
There si another post that mention this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905734&page=2
Bottom line, stay with it, it works great!!

thanks alot
Thanks alot for this, I did notice that the telcel rom has no carrier branding, and after reading all your points concerning rogers rom I am definately staying with this one "if its not broke - don't fix it" very helpful post mods feel free to close this thread.

When you changed ROMs, did you run into a signature error? How did you overcome that? It seems some handsets are tied to their specific carrier -- short of upgrading with a same carrier ROM, the update fails with message 'problem with file signature'. or something along those lines.

I have a Rogers phone that is unlocked and being used on Bell and it is flashed with this rom as well. I used Nokia Care Suite and got the rom through the data package manager. It flashed without any problems. There haven't been any updates through Zune yet so I don't know what will happen when 7.8 is released. If it doesn't do the update automatically I'll just update it again through Nokia Care Suite.

Didn't happened anything like that to me, just looked for my RM in Data Package Manager downloaded the latest one and loaded it using Nokia Care Suite

Thanks... glad it at least works for the Rogers devices. I'm guessing there's something added to the AT&T versions which prevent swapping carrier ROMs, even within the same RM group.
I've tried modifying the product code both in the file names and within the files. Still fails with file signature error.

I have the same issue, maybe try flashing it to an earlier ROM from AT&T that doesn't have that limitation?
Doing a field exercise with my unit so it may be awhile before I get to try it myself.

I actually tried that a week ago... rolled AT&T rom back to 8112 (nothing earlier available on NaviFirm list). Same complaint.

Buying N975U (US Cellular) and using in the UK

Hello, I want to get the snapdragon Note 10+, so a friend can get me the US Cellular N975U but I will be using it in the UK. So, if anyone can help to answer my doubts:
1) How do I check if the device is region locked?
2) Will I be able to receive the SW updates with my UK sim here? or am I going to be restricted to flash manually via odin etc?
Thanks in advance

Give this a look & then contact US Cellular with the device IMEI, they'll likely need it to check for unlock status.

As for getting updates with a non-US Cellular SIM Card, I'd definitely ask about that as well.
Hopefully, someone here @ XDA will chime-in with their experience.
