Question [Q] Different Radios? UMTS 900 interested

If there's any different radios for MoPho?

I wanna get UMTS 900 working on Photon. I know that it's not listed in the specs, but so as for Atrix 4G, and guy here flashed another radio and got UMTS working.

So, if there's any info about MoPho?
Where i can get stock radio, so i can try another one?
If Atrix 4G's radio will work for Photon? (I suggest hardware is pretty the same).

Any input on this is appreciated.

from what im seeing here
-----The phone operates at frequencies of CDMA 800 / 1900 / GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Mhz. -----
i would think it would work does it not work for you? , the photon community is still working hard on getting everything unlocked fully and right now what seems to be the main focus for the dev community is getting roms and wimax to work on an unlocked bootloader,

OK. first of all i'm personally not interested in CDMA part.

It operates
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
UMTS(WCDMA as i understand) 850 / 1900 / 2100

Local operator uses UMTS 900. So EDGE only for me. And i got H+ icon with another operator.
But i suggest the only difference is the radio flashed in the phone.
One user on XDA reported that he get UMTS 900 working on hit Atrix 4G. (Atrix got the same freqs listed as Photon, without UMTS 900).

so far as i know they havent gotten a full unlock of the frequencies they use and since the photon is really sprint only here in the states, it makes it hard to jump from one band to another since no one really has it, i know that in japan they had a wimax photon, that one might be a shot i just have no clue where to find a sbf file for it nor whether or not it would even flash to the sprint photon, are you out of the US and if so which provider?

There's a topic with leaked sbf that says wimax working. not sure if it's from japan.

I cannot find any radio in .zip or .sbf file. If i could find one, even stock radio, I could try flashing one from Atrix. Dunno if it help or not, but why not to try?

Yep, I'm out of US, in Kazachstan.
Beeline and Tele2. Second one require UMTS 900.

This is definitely something i would like to see happen in the future. Im moving to Sydney at the end of this month and plan to take trips frequently to area that only have dual band coverage on Optus (UMTS900/2100). So until someone hacks this i will only have 3G in Sydney where they have HSDPA2100Mhz.
