My Xt897 has a HARDMOD to use brazilian SIM card (vivo), unlocked, rooted and still with 77.6.36.XT897 SW version (I'm afraid to do the automatic motorola upgrade that's appears every time on wi-fi)
I can't configure my APNs to Vivo (brazil). the configuration screen not save any information every time that I try and all list of apns still blank...
I tried edit the apn file, but changed or erased the file nothing happens on the configuration apn's screen
any suggestions?
thanks a lot!
I had this issue on my phone when i played with switching from sprint back to gsm a few times and only thing that worked was a full reset. once you reset it set it to gsm only and the appns should be blank at this point you can add your new apn. you can also try to remove all aps there is like 7 of them under gsm only then power down phone and restart and see if they stay blank. once they are blank then you can add your apn.

Got my brand new HTC Touch Cruise the other week and it was working great. I then decided to try and Geotag my photos which apparently is as simple as changing a registery value. So off I go and download the trial of Resco Explorer 2007 and reg editor from their website and change HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9 »Enable« to 1
Soft reset the phone and then the phone no longer connects to the network.
(The geotagging feature of the camera worked fine too.....)
I uninstalled the tools, did a hard reset and reloaded the original ROM to no avail - the phone still refuses to connect to the network (Telstra NextG - Australia) which it was working fine with before. I have also noticed that when there is no Sim in the phone the IMEI does not agree with the one on the back and when the Sim is in it says the IMEI is "Not Support"
Any help would be appreciated, I'm missing my new toy already!
Do a Hard reset and your problems should be gone. Easiest way is "Settings > System > Clear Storage > 1234". Remember to sync your contacts before you do it and good luck
I'd already tried a hard reset and loading the latest ROM (Which was the same as the one it shipped with) but that did not work.
Just tried doing it again the way you suggested and it's still broken.
Also on further inspection my IMEI when it doesn't have a SIM in to is almost the same as the one of the back but just has an extra 01 on the end. It still says "Not support" when I have the SIM in it though....
All sorted out.... It seems it was an issue with Telstra(They said they had a brief outage, and for some reason my SIM didn't reconnect to the network until they gave it a "Kick"), not the phone that just happened at the same time as I was editing the registery. Talk about bad luck......

Yes so next time your Polaris not working so blame always your operator if the device dont connect, The imei cant NEVER chance with a registry chance what ever you do with the device the imei never changes, with that numbers you cant mess with
you said the imei changed when you have the sim card inside and evidently you couldn't connect to the network because of that... so deosn't that implys there's a 'possibility' that bypass the hardware imei by doing something to the sim? we might be on to something here guys..
Hello,
I want to buy Samsung Stratosphere 2 SCH-i415 from someone who got it from Verizon.
I don't live in US and I want to use it in other country. If I unlock it - can I use it with any mobile carrier?
Thanks
Hey, was looking around the forum for something else and stumbled onto this thread.
Maybe you've already solved this, but here's the answer is anyone else are looking;
First off, if the phone has been activated first time with a verizon sim card in the US already, it should be unlocked and ready for calling and sms. Verizon doesn't sim lock the phone, only lock APN's for GPRS/3G traffic (solution for that below)
Just bought this phone off ebay, got it to Norway and set about using it with a norwegian sim card.
First thing I needed to do was bypass the verizon setup wizard, as it just kept saying "non-verizon sim" and asking me to reboot.
The solution for this was remarkably simple, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=36lfn9sBo70
"1. Make sure you are on the select language screen.
2. Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Press Volume Up Key in that exact same order. Watch video if you are confused.
3. All Done. "
Next is rooting, need to do this for the next steps;
Depending on what software you have (4.0.4 or 4.1.2), grab the system image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078615 (page 8 for 4.0.4, page 7 for 4.1.2)
Then we want to remove the annoying "non-verizon sim" notification;
Use Titanium Backup pro to freeze the app called "Setup Wizard 1.0" (the one with verizon logo on it, not the version 1.3 one)
Job done. Now you can freely use any sim card anywhere for calling and sms (afaik)
For GPRS/3G traffic you will need to add your APN settings, but Verizon has locked this menu, so we need another way in.
I used "APN Manager Pro" to add my carriers APN data, the app found it in the database and did everything for me.
There are probably other, free ways to do this (editing apn xml file manually and so on) but I found this app well worth the few bucks they charge for it.
If you want to do it manually there are some other guides around here, and googling will get you some hints too.
The only problem I have left now is trying to get mine updated to Jelly Bean, as Verizon only uses OTA update, and won't let me do it from Norway with a non-verizon sim card, but I have faith we will find a solution for this too.
Otherwise a great phone for the full-qwerty addicts out there :good:
Hey I in sweden using a swedish sim card and I got the gprs/3g to work somehow without rooting. I managed to upgrade the firmware via wifi, and I think that opened the apn settings. but my main question is if its possible to open the 4G cause it only has gprs/3G now. and I wonder if u also just get gprs/3g or do get 4g also?
It can't be this easy can it?

Great thanks! I will be testing this out later today. I hope it works!
confirmation
hey guys,
i can confirm i got this working on china mobile with some changes.
didnt find a database option in apn manager. i found the manual data here: (pm for link. not enough posts to make links apparently)
also found in order to get apn manager to save a new apn i needed to make it a system app with titanium.
also found, you dont need apn manager at all. if you go to settings ->more settings->mobile networks->access point names and then hit the "menue" button (three vertical dots at the bottom right of the phone), you get an option to add access point. fill out your info, and hit that button again, and you will see an option to save.
hope that helps someone else.
Look at the thread [Q] Rooting the Samsung Stratosphere II? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078615&page=27) at page 27 post #262 how to get a rooted image of MF1.
And in the same thread at page 31 post #305 how to get a rooted image of MJ2 which is currently (feb 2014) the latest ROM version for Stratosphere II.
Thanks to kado01 for his work.
I has been confirmed that the Stratosphere II can be rooted by the saferoot method.
Look in the above link at page 26 post #257.
Since version MF1 you can easily access the APN settings. So, no need to install any APN manager.
I have simply added the APN settings for my network provider manually and it works great.
And finally please take a look at the above thread at page 31 post #308 and the following to help kado01 get an unbrick file for his problem?
I can't do it because I am unable to upgrade my phone to MJ2 with the MJ2 bootloader because I don't live in the US and my phone is not activated on Verizons network. I can only install kado01's MJ2 rooted image.
Thanks.
Add new APN possible
How to add apn to verizon samasung galaxy stratosphere 2 i415 (Root required)
(I found this from some forum while I was searching for how to add APN for my brothers Verizon S3. It worked 100%. All credits go to the guy who posted it there. I didn't remember the address. And sorry for my bad english.)
Go to market install BuildProp Editor
Once installed find and open Build Prop Editor
Hit the menu button and select Edit
Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen(looks like a disk)
Once this is done saving restart the phone
After restarting go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>+ New APN
Add desired carriers APN info, when finished hit menu button and save
Power down and change to your desired SIM card if you hadn't already done so
Power back on and go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier).
Select the respective APN listing and then you should have working data
Congrats you can now natively add in any APN desired.

I am perplexed by an issue with my LG Flex 2 (H950) that has persisted since it was updated from Lollipop 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 (11x) via official OTA by AT&T. This occurs with or without root.
When I restart or reboot the phone, I totally lose my cell connection--no voice, no data--and "Mobile Networks" is grayed-out. If I perform a factory reset or delete telephony.db and its journal, the cell connection comes back and I can enter the "Mobile Networks" menu, though the APN list is empty. Resetting APNs to default does nothing, but I can manually add an APN and data works fine, including LTE. On the next reboot, the cycle repeats and there is no connection.
I have gone through 8 SIMS; four AT&T and four T-Mobile, and nothing changes between them. An AT&T rep verified the issue but referred me to LG. LG has had the phone twice under warrant and found no hardware problem. LG also updated the phone to firmware 11z.
The phone reads the SIM without any issue, though programs that read SIM will say no SIM is installed immediately after a reboot. I have also found that upon boot the phone seems to ignore apns-conf.xml, because renaming that file has no effect.
My only guess at this point is that the boot process is changing telephony.db (except immediately after a factory reset) in some way and looking to something other than apns-conf.xml for its APN data. I am currently rooted, because that is the only way I can use ES File Explorer to delete telephony. db.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm going to move your question to the proper device Q&A forum.
Good luck!
Hello everyone, for some reason today i decided to update my phone to the new pm5 (I think) when it booted up i noticed I had no data, when i went to check the apns it shows one for verizon but all the details are empty and greyed out. I can't edit them or Add a new apn set so I can't use any data when not home on wifi. Anyone run across this? any ideas on how to fix it??

If so then Imei is ok ,
Could you do it before , Verizon does not locks this settings out?
Check better in your device forum
I'm not sure if I was able to before or not, never seemed to run into this issue, the apn is there but a lot of the required fields are blank instead of filled in, I have tried the two roms in the Verizon sub forum and didn't have problems with them till I switched off of the last one to go back to stock
Edit and I checked to see if the imei was clean and it seems to be so, so it hasn't been blocked
Edit 2 so I don't have to double post, and I've tried switching back to one of the custom roms after this problem came up, and the apn issue showed up again so I'm not sure if it's the phone, sim card, or network

Hi
Check this thread it talks about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/help/apn-settings-grayed-t3338079
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 SM-A520W, which I recently bootlooped and had to reinstall the firmware using Odin. However, when I restored my nandroid backup, the SIM card refuses to be recognized. It works in my other phone however (which I temporarily switched it while I fixed the samsung). So I tried resetting network settings, clearing the cache and other suggestions, until I finally decided to just factory reset the rom and see if it recognizes it from a clean OS, and it didn't. I can't see any reason why the hardware would be broken, since all I did was take the SIM card out and put it back in.
So then I thought about the firmware. I got it from here, which has a ton of different product codes for different carriers and countries. I'm in Canada on the Fido network, so that's what I chose (FMC). But Fido is owned by Rogers, which is a different product code (RWC)... So I'm wondering if choosing the wrong firmware will actually prevent the SIM card from being recognized? I can't understand why it's not recognizing it. >.<
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Have you checked the APN name and settings?
Hmm, I'm not sure I understand, can you explain further?

I mean the settings for the carrier like mmsproxy and ipv4, etc...
It's a longshot but it's in settings and network settings - mobile data.
I do not know exact english words used... Accesspointname if directly translated.
Describe more about phone behaviour.
Do you get same notifications as when no sim in phone?
