I have a Prophet G4 which appears to be unlocked - however I put my Orange sim in no problem works like normal. I put my pay as u go 3 Sim in and I can make and recieve calls but tells me the service provider is Orange !!!! I know it's 3 because I dial to check my balence. Ok when i put my 3 contract sim in the phone it tells me there is no sim! The sim works ok in my 3 phone. Where am i going wrong? What do I need to do I want to use my 3 contract sim in the Prophet!!!
Please advise, I wait in anticipation
Phone is a SPV M600 ruinning Windows Mob 5 and SPL 2.20 IPL 2.20 if i try to add a new rom it just keeps going to three colours bootloader.

SPV M600 need to unlock after you splash you phone. if you no unlock, it prompt your no sim card.the unlock method is ok .I try it. do you understand chinese ?

it is very detail for solved your problem.
if you can not read it ,told me ,i can help you.

Hi Spinny, I'm not sure if this is right but I think the prophet is not a 3G phone ( which uses the UMTS connection) but is a 2G phone running on GSM. Your phone is probably unlocked and able to use sims from T mobile ,Orange ,O2 and Vodafone etc.
As far as I know , 3G phones run on UMTS when there is an available connection but will switch to GSM when the UMTS not available. Therefore it connects to your Orange network and works but you will be getting billed by 3 network and you wouldn't be able to use video calling.Hope that helps. There is a lot of info here too http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=456&view=1

At&t Tilt help!

My dad has an At&T tilt (htc kaiser). He unlocked it and we are trying to get it to work in Israel with a cellcom sim card. The sim card in my phone is working in his phone, but the new sim he bought for his phone only works in a slvr l6 we have. On the kaiser, the sim is recognized, but it won't connect to the cellcom network (it does with my cellcom sim card). Do you think upgrading the rom would help the problem (he still has the original rom that came with it from at&t, and he has paid them and unlocked it) and if so, which ROM for the kaiser have you found to be the best for you. If I flash it, will it work fine in the US and in Israel, etc? Now that it is unlocked, is it for good even after reflashing it? If you don't think the rom is the problem, do you have any other suggestions as to why one specific sim would only work in one phone? All suggestions are welcome!!!

ok first thing the rom has nothing to do with that flashing it wont help, what you need to find out is what band that company uses and then select the ban from your phone and that will allow the phone to work if it still dont pick up ur phone wasnt unlock properly, remember it takes a little time to pic up its not as quick as the other phones. If you still choose to flash ur phone you need to read some of the threads first and make up ur mind based on the comments made. but personaly they all are good to me some have a few ups and down but nothing major or you can use the orginal rom posted by dutty a few days ago its stable.

Thanks for the response. This is the weirdest problem I have ever encountered, because my phone (an l6) uses the same sim from the same company (cellcom) and my sim card works perfectly in the kaiser. The new sim card does not work in my l6 OR his kaiser, but works in my mom's cheapie unlocked phone and another (a bit newer) l6 (same model phone!) that we have with us. So connecting to the network is not the problem, as the kaiser does that with my sim in it. But with the new sim in it, the kaiser refuses to connect to the cellcom network. I have no idea where to go from here. Why does it work in one l6 and not another? Why my old one work in my l6 AND his kaiser, but the new sim works in neither? All help is greatly appreciated!!

No SIM Card

Hey everyone, I am a Galaxy Nexus user but my brother got an old Roger's S2 LTE that he wants to put on a non-Rogers network (same one I am on with my GNex). However we are having a weird issue where if we insert the original (deactivated) SIM that came with the phone it detects it. But if we put in either mine or his own it just always says "No SIM Card". I even have a pay as you go AT&T SIM that wont work in it either. So far I have flashed CyanogenMod and tried the UCLF6 radio as well as the Rogers ICS Radio UXLF3 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754473
I should note that when my brother originally inserted his SIM he got the unlock screen and paid to unlock it through cellunlocker.net and it was recognizing his SIM at that point. Since then however we have had no luck. He even replaced the SIM card board with a new one.
Any ideas? I am leaning towards hardware issue but its odd that it still reads the original inserted SIM

did you try to go back to stock firmware and see what happened

Yep. I'm pretty sure its hardware. I got it to read again but still no signal. I have it reading my AT&T card now but again still no signal.
In fact even without a SIM card in if I search for Network Operators nothing comes up. If I do the same on my GNex I get a listing so its looking like this phone is no good
EDIT: Just realized who responded. Your threads were VERY helpful for me! Thanks so much... I'm still not convinced the phone is toast... I have a friend with a GNex on Rogers (I'm on MTS) so I will see if I can borrow his SIM and see what happens

agree, not the phone, the only way to make sure of anything is to restore to stock and do all the testing from that point on
edit: dah, its the radio, what freq is the new sim card on that wont work, is it the same as T-Mobile
edit: maybe not radio, think its like rogers, could be network settings

Actually both MTS and Rogers use the same towers so the phone should be set properly.
I've got it reading my MTS SIM now but cant pick up any networks. Its set to LTE/HSPA/GSM (Auto) and MTS is HSPA.
Is there anything that could be done to the IMEI of the phone to sort of "blacklist" it from working on any network?
Here is where I have tested from so far:
Stock before I did anything to the phone (Stock rogers GB)
CM9 Nightly
Stock Rogers ICS
SkyICS
I have also tried both the lastest AT&T Radio as well as the latest Rogers Radio. With my GNex both myself and my friend on Rogers use the same Radio (UGLC1).
At this point it seems either the radios arent working at all or the phone is blocked somehow
EDIT: Info on the MTS network... Found on the FAQ on their site:
Any unlocked devices (i.e. devices that are not tied to a specific carrier) will work with MTS SIM cards (on the MTS 4G network). However, carriers such as Rogers, Bell and Telus lock their devices to work with only their SIM cards and these devices will not work with a MTS SIM card. Similarly, MTS intends to lock our devices to our SIM cards. Therefore, our devices will not be usable on another carrier's network.
Please note that any unlocked device must support 4G North American Frequencies (850Mhz), older GSM devices will not function on our new 4G network. You can find out if your device is 4G compliant by reviewing the phone's settings.

UGLC1 never seen that radio for the skyrocket
edit: oh, for the gnex
did you try the *#2263# menu

Yes when I try that menu (*#2263#) it doesnt do anything. I can do *#*#4636#*#* when on CM9 and it works but on stock and SkyICS it just FCs when I select "Phone Information"...
I am going back to Rogers Stock ICS right now. Gotta head off to my engagement party but will likely be back at it tomorrow

shouldn't forceclose, redl and try reflashing x2 the rogers radio, wipe/format x3 in cwm b4 going back to stock ics

Will do first thing tomorrow (or tonight if I'm still in any shape to do so )
If anyone reading this thread has a stock Rogers phone can you turn it off, take out your SIM and then boot it up without a SIM in it and then do a Network Search and see if anything comes up? On my GNex I get networks but on the S2 LTE I dont. In fact I have never seen any signal from any network on this phone yet with an MTS, AT&T and an old Rogers SIM
EDIT: Actually you will probably have to be on CM9. With stock you cant get to the Network Operator section without a SIM card inserted but in CM9 you can

Ok I had enough time to do as you suggested above. Wiped like crazy then went back to stock using the ODIN method and the firmware from sammobile.
Actually I figured it out... it only FCs when I have the AT&T SIM card in and I think thats because AT&T is RAT Locked? If I have no SIM in I can get to all the menus.

k, try to set the freq(play around with it) in that menu w/out sim, then shutdown and install sim b4 restarting, left haptic to click "end" is saving

Got home and went right to work. Almost positive the problem is the radio not working now. I managed to get both SIMs reading without issue but neither will get signal of any sort (even straight after stock reflash). Gonna call it for now until I get a hold of my buddys Rogers SIM.
Thanks so much for all the help, I really appreciate it!

[Q] [HELP] Vodaphone AU, Black Unlocked a108b on AT&T in U.S.

Need some expertise on this one!
So I bought the ChaCha unlocked on Ebay because I wanted a black Android phone with a portrait keyboard and liked the look of the black model from AU's Vodafone network. While it's reading the network as AT&T when I put my SIM Card in, I'm getting absolutely no data to the phone...in other words...none of my android apps will work unless I'm connected to WiFi. I can make calls, but that's it.
I've taken it to 3 AT&T stores here in the U.S. and they've tried connecting it to the data servers using different phone codes, but have been unsuccessful. These codes are normally 10+ characters in length.
Does anyone know what code would work on this phone in the U.S. on the AT&T network.
If it's not possible as is, is there a way to edit/change something to get it to work on a certain data code
All information is appreciated! Thanks!
Here's the phone I purchased:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121007975870&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:AU:1123

Anybody have any idea or suggestions? Is it a radio issue...do I need to flash another radio or is the hardware just not meant to work on the AT&T network in the U.S.? I can't figure out why calls work on GSM (it says my provider is AT&T) but data won't come through. Should I put it as GSM/WCDMA auto instead of GSM only...will that do anything?
My current radio is: 7.51.35.19

Problem: Dual Sim Not Working on SM-G930FD

I have the SM-G930FD, carrier unlocked from UAE. It's got the stock android 6.0.1 on it. I bought this phone from NewEgg in the US specifically to take with me to Asia so I can have a Thai SIM for data and my US number available for texts, and also for data when I'm outside of Thailand (yay for T-Mobile and free texting/2G internet). I just got to Thailand yesterday and the dual sim functionality is NOT working
Same issue as reported in the GS7 EDGE version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-duos-data-connectivity-problems-t3349324 - but I don't see any reports of it happening on the regular GS7
More info:
Slot 1: Thai SIM card (I tried two different carriers)
Slot 2: T-Mobile SIM
I set EVERYTHING to use the Thai SIM, and have both SIMs turned ON. Everything works fine for a few minutes, and then BAM, Internet stops working! It says not connected whenever I try to load a webpage, etc. etc. The phone shows The Thai SIM for voice and text, BUT now it shows the T-Mobile SIM for data, EVEN THOUGH if I go back to the Sim Manager, it clearly has the Thai SIM set for data. And obviously it's not pulling data from the T-Mobile SIM or I would have (slow) internet on the phone. The only way I can fix this is to go to the SIM manager and switch to the T-Mobile SIM for data and then switch back to the Thai SIM. The only problem is that this fix could last 30 seconds, or it could last an hour.
In the thread referenced above, there was no definitive fix. Someone said install the Italy or France Firmware, but others say it didn't work for them.
If I turn off the T-Mobile SIM altogether, the Thai SIM's data is steady. But the purpose of this phone is to have dual sim!
The only other thing of note is that when I go to the SIM Manager screen, it shows my US number for my T-Mobile SIM, but it shows "unknown" for my Thai SIM. I checked the APN settings and they all look good.
Could this be a hardware issue that some people are experiencing? It's too late to return the phone :-/

Same Issue
Hey there. I have a G930FD from UAE and I'm having the exact same issue. I'm getting ready to push SUPERMAN ROM on to it to see if that might fix it. Such a pain.
Just wanted you to know you're not alone.
