Seeing as T-Mobile took its time to release iPhone 5 with its data plan, most of you have surely bought an iPhone 5 from AT&T, being too eager to worry about not getting the carrier’s appealing LTE speeds. A jailbreak hack makes it possible to enjoy T-Mobile LTE speeds on AT&T iPhone 5.
Does it sounds too good to be true? LEI Mobile and iDownloadBlog both confirmed it was possible to have an AT&T iPhone 5 running on T-Mobile LTE. It was soon after several websites reported that the T-Mobile iPhone 5 is actually a tweaked version of the AT&T CDMA A1328 iPhone 5. The hack LEI Mobile talks about is able to make an AT&T unlocked and jailbroken A1428 iPhone 5 run on T-Mobile’s LTE network on the 1700MHz band. The hack is in fact a custom carrier firmware that only enables support for the 1700MHz band on LTE, but not for the 3G DC-HSDPA connection.
To enable T-Mobile LTE support on an unlocked and jailbroken AT&T iPhone 5 you have to launch Cydia, tap “Manage” and then “Sources”. “Edit” and “Add” this link: http://v.backspace.jp/repo. “Add Source” and wait patiently until the repo info and packages finish downloading and the iPhone completes its refresh.
In the search bar look for the package CommCenter* patch or just tap the v.backspace.jp/repo. Install the files found and reboot the device after the installation process is complete. Wait for your iPhone 5 to finish its restart, then perform the first five steps again (launch Cydia, “Manage”, “Sources”, “Edit”, “Add” and “Add Sources”). Enter this link in your text box http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/. Wait patiently for the package download and the device’s system refresh, then look for the LTE Enabler for T-Mobile package. When you find the files, install and reboot.
After you see the T-Mobile logo enter the APN Settings and select reset network settings, then enable the LTE toggle. Use fast.t-mobile.com for T-Mobile LTE and pcweb.tmobile.com for internet tethering on T-Mobile when you edit the APN.
T-Mobile’s LTE coverage is currently limited to Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose and Washington DC, but by the end of this year more than 200 million people across the US will enjoy LTE speeds via T-Mobile’s network.
