Alright, so im new, and pretty new to this rooting schin-ding, got my Captivate rooted, but since im in Canada and on a rogers network, im wondering how i get back to my rogers start up on my phone even when unrooting. it keeps showing up as "ATT, World Phone" when i turn on my phone, and everthing is in american apps and so on.
Is there anyway to get this phone back to the state it was, or am i stuck with this att start up? sorry if this is a "newb" question, im frustrated greatly
Hi, I am new to the forums today after buying an HTC Sensation only to find the network on the handset seems blocked!! and was wondering if anyone could help me please?
I got the phone a few days ago and have since had it unlocked for any network as it was previously registered as Orange but I would like to use my 02 sim instead. This was in the hope it might have fixed the no network/limited signal error but no it has not
I also tried some IMEI checkers to check if i bought a blacklisted phone but they all say the IMEI is unblocked/not locked.
Honestly I've gave up searching after the last day or so wasted trying to get this phone working but with no luck. I have tried loads of guides etc... on here but nothing is working.
Please if anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
Thank's, Fraser.
Try a different SIM. If your o2 one is old then a new one may fix the issue

Hi, yesterday I bought a phone from craiglist (it was stuck in a bootloop so I fixed it) once I got it fixed I rooted the phone again and flashed the custom rom.
When it started it said that it's network blocked so I unlocked the phone using PG58DIAG.nbh (could this be the issue?)
Now I can't make any calls or send any messages BUT I still have a signal. When I want to make a call all I can hear is a small beep and then it ends the call.
Do you think that I could call HTC and say that I can't turn the phone on? After putting it to stock rom and turning S-ON again.
Or is there any way to unblock the IMEI legally? Maybe going to the town centre to guys with the stall?

Hi,
IMEI blocked sounds like a stolen phone to me...
Yeah, it was listed as bricked and since I know something about Android phones I bought it for a good price. Well after I have unbricked it I got this surprise :\
Any ideas about how to get around it? I don't really want to return it to HTC or Provider since I have actually bought it.

Hi,
Nothing that we could legally talk about on XDA...
Yeah, I get what you mean. But do you think that if I put S-ON etc. Would HTC accept the return?
I just bought a phone the guy who made no mention of the fact that it was rooted when I bought it. What is worse is he mentioned that his GF worked for Verizon, which did not seem to mean much at the time. Knowing that here is what i'm dealing with.
I was in a rush when I checked out the phone as I had to meet another person to pick one up for my wife as well. It's the sch-i575 in white 16gb. After having a minute to look at the phone it turns out he had Paranoid Android flashed and the phone was rooted. CRAP! Not what I was looking for and he was not upfront about it. The incredibly strange thing was that with NO SIMCARD the phone was getting 3g signal! I spent all night trying to unroot \ undo what he did. I managed to use ODIN to get back to the stock rom although I think it's still a rooted one since I still have the super user app. I got a sim card from verizon but since it was rooted I did not bring the phone in and when I tried to activate later it would not activate. My wife's by the way is working flawless and when I put my sim in her phone it works fine as well. I had to put the sim in my wife's phone and it activated there. Here is the crazy thing, with or with out a simcard the phone makes calls and has 3g internet only but when I make a call it uses HIS NUMBER!! I'm not sure what the hell to do, what could have he done? Any ideas? Please all help is appreciated! I did not think this was even possible for the phone to function w/o a sim. I'm worried about taking it in to Verizon because of the funkiness. Ty again for any insight...

It sounds like you didnt flash the proper stock image. I would start with that and report back.

I thought the I575 was an old slide phone. So A. your in the wrong section of the forum since this is Verizon's S3 or B. you mentioned the wrong device number? I saw phones before working and running on networks without sim-cards but that was years ago. If it is an S3, you sure it's a Verizon device? Also since you see 3g....can you browse around in the browser or make a phone call?

Yes, it's a galaxy s3 16gb in white. It looks like currently I was using the tar66 using ODIN. I'm reverting back to the bone stock one now. As far as the models go isn't the SCH-I575 the Verizon version of the S3?
I'm waiting on the stock unrooted rom to take through ODIN and will report back. Thank you for taking the time to try and help.
Ohh, yes the internet works and when I make phone calls with or with out my sim in it makes calls successfully but the other guys number shows up. What the heck did this guy do to the phone!
Our model is the SCH-i535
Dont thank/like/rep my posts or ill report you.

You are obviously absolutley correct. I'm frantically trying to figure this out. I have flashed the stock rom and don't have super user anymore. The problem persists with the guys number.
Could he have flashed a custom kernel and modem or does reverting back using the stock rom cover all that ?

The one i linked covers all that and completely erases all data on the phone. Did you insert your sim after the stock flash?

I just double checked and I had the I535VRLAG1 version, yours is the I535VRALF2 in the link you posted trying this now. The crazy thing is that it even says that the sim is activated with MY number! but the calls are still comming from him. I even tried wiping the device and clearing the cache. I also tried to JUST flash the modem with VRLG1.modem.tar.md5 and nothing :\. Waiting on the file from your link to download and will try that.
Is it possible that this is being caused by something on Verizon's end? The phone ( with out the SIM ) is registered to him somehow? I know this is not normal but because his GF worked for Verizon could they have done something funky?
Yeah its definitely possible its from something she did to the phone but most likely nothing from Verizon's end. Does the IMEI number under status match the IMEI number under the battery?

Yes IMEI is the same in the OS as behind the battery.
The curious thing is that on the same screen in the OS where you find the IMEI there is also a field called Network and it says " Unknown"
It also has things like:
Eri v : 5
Mobile network type : EvDo-rev.a:8
The thing I keep coming back to is how is it possible for this phone to make calls\ have data with out a sim?
Starting to really think I got cheated
Cheated? Sounds like you have free Verizon service.
Roll with it. If you really want a bill you can have mine...

Very strange that's for sure. Try re-provisioning the device *2767*3855#

Just did and the same thing happened. I went to the Verizon store and the guy there had no idea and got me in touch with tech support from the store. They were dumbfounded and flat out said that what is happening is impossible. "It's impossible to make\receive phone calls with out a sim unless they are emergency" I harped on the fact that I am making phone calls as one of their other customers and that this is a big deal. In the end since I had the insurance and extended warranty they will ship me a new phone.

Hey guys,
So when tmobile dropped nougat for the s7 I restored stock/unrooted my phone completely and then upgraded to nougat. Since then though my phone at times will stop reading my sim card all together. now i have never had this problem until after i came from the g930u rom. Sometimes it'll read my sim, but sometimes itll just stop out of the blue. i could be doing almost anything. i went today to tmobile to make sure my simcard wasnt acting up. also my phone can read my SD card just fine . So im not sure if its a modem problem or what but can someone help plz, i dont want my phone to be a paperweight mp3 player? thank you.
