Hello all. I need some help. I recently traveled down to the US, and decided to place my blackberry (rogers) sim card into my fido nexus s, to avoid getting charged on the fido account. everything worked great. Until I came back to Canada, and tried to use the fido sim card. It will not recognize my fido sim anymore, it says emergency calls only and sos over the signal. If I try to edit the apn's they won't save. Thought it was a bad sim, so I went to fido, and asked for another, so they gave me one, and it doesn't work still, and they tried it in a different phone and it worked at the store. so I am lost. If I re insert the rogers sim, I am on the network right away. I called rogers, I called fido, I went down to the fido store in person. I searched the net. I've done a factory reset, I've done restores. I've tried to use unlocking apps from the market. The phone just thinks there is no sim card. I am running miui, and while in the bootloader, the carrier info says that it is at&t... I did flash the rom while in the US to an updated version, with the rogers sim. I have tried to reinstall the rom after that, updated the rom, flashed the kernel and the radio, but with no success. Can anyone please help?
Hi I recently received an AT&T Skyrocket and I unlocked it to use on T-Mobile and flashed it to Juggernaut/Faux009/VK1 and everything was going great.
I changed the ROM to SKY ICS, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602216 and only updated to D-9
I also changed the radio to the Blaze 4G.
I then started changing between radios to try to find the "right" one, I used Blaze 4g, UVLE. Then I started not getting any signal and went to check APN settings and I received the error "Insert SIM Card", but the Sim card is already in the phone.
I then tried to flash a bunch of different radios including the above and also VK1, and Telus radios.
Please, I need some help. What should I do? Do you guys need more info?
Hello,
I bought the phone from Kijiji and it is stated as unlocked. When I put in my Virgin Mobile sim card it shows I have full bars and connected to the Virgin network and di not ask for an unlock code so should be unlocked? Now with the full service bars I have no data connection indicator and everything is on and the APN for Bell/Virgin is inputted in it already. But I cannot send or receive anything or use any data. Says network error.
Any help?
Thanks,
Jay

Are you sure Virgin is a GSM carrier? I'm pretty sure they are CDMA only..

Virgin mobile no longer supports CDMA. They are 3G and 4g lte only now.
I have tried the virgin radios and different Rogers and AT&T. Even telus and tmobile radios but none worked.
When I put the SIM in it says its on virgin and connected but no 3G or lte logo and can't send or recieve texts or use anything with data.

I'm not convinced, are you sure they're off CDMA now? You need GSM fot texts and on this phone in general. 3G and LTE is not the same.

This is virgin mobile canada. They only have 3G and LTE service here. I have had the S3, iPhone, and many other GSM phones no problems. Recently the Note 1 LTE. Not sure what is going on. It doesnt say to input an unlock code when I put in the SIM so it must be unlocked?

If if shows the carrier name and doesn't ask for a code then it's unlocked. Did you try Bell radios? Virgin Canada uses the Bell network and does indeed prefer lte and hspa to cdma as you said.

Try the ones here. It seems like it's something else though. Try wiping data & cache & dalvik cache in recovery or doing a factory reset in settings. Try flashing a stock JB rom in Odin or any other rom for that matter. Try flashing a rom in recovery. Just be aware that JB roms need JB modems. JB modems are backwards compatible with ICS and GB roms. The two official JB modems are RUXUMA7 and UCMC1. There are JB modems from other devices that work on our phone as well, but you'll have to find them yourself as I don't remember.

Ok I tried everything you mentioned in the post. Still no luck. Tried the ROM you are using on your i727 that you have listed in your siggy. I really like it but still just comes up with "BELL" and no data and cant text or do anything.

That's a problem. I really don't know how to help you. One thing you can do is compare Virgin Canada's hspa & lte frequencies with Skyorckets default ones and see if they match.
These are the default frequencies on the Skyrocket.
3G Network - HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network - LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100

Jay, I had to unlock my phone myself with I bought it. I use Fido in Canada. After upgrading to include data for the first time, I had a similar problem. Everything looks fine but I had no Internet. I advice you to put your sim card in a Virgin phone already running with no problem and see whether the issue was is with your plan. Sometimes the carrier screws it up as well.
version 4.1.2 rooted
apn settings set
sim card inserted nothing works non verizion sim, wont connect to a network for calls or to register the phone number etc etc.
how can i get this to work ?

i went back to 4.0.4 then used odin and upgraded back to 4.1.2 reset wiped phone rebooted completly stock all root and custom recovery gone. used verizon software and went from mb1 to NE1 updated software now its at stock 4.4.2
i can insert a old rogers canada sim it sees network right away and shows up in APN
insert a new activated telus sim and it does not show anything except for the sim from unknown provider or non verizon sim crap but i know how to remove the system app for that notice does not change a thing.
i have used" phone info" and tried the different bands global, lte/cdma, gsm i have tried in service modes and dial pad codes (have not done *228 on 4g lte phones so its not a fried sim card) best i get with telus sim in and set in gsm mode is the can rogers network show up. nothing in the other modes.
i have manual tried the APN setting in phone and apn manager no change
i show a imei number however it is different from the original on the back sticker but the phone has no issues with the rogers sim card and the current phones imei so it changed at some point prob from a previous custom ROM but it is working to see a network just not activated on rogers
so now i have a unlocked bootloader, stock 4.4.2 clean phone 100% stock Verizon software i have read everything i can seem to dig up and still will not work
Hello everyone, have a nice day and best wishes for the new year! :highfive:
This is my sister's phone, a Samsung Ace S5839i with stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 as second phone with Vodafone carrier. Years ago it was unlocked and rooted at a phone shop and everything was fine. At some point, she issued that the phone stopped connecting and wouldn't work with Vodafone, but strangely it works with other carriers.
So now I have the phone with me, I have tested older Vodafone sim cards and they work fine, tested other carrier sims and they work. I have tested 2 new Vodafone sim cards (mine and my sister's, which are both new and work on other phones) and both fail. The phone boots and doesn't ask the pin code. There is the icon in the statusbar with the sim card and an exclamation mark like there is no card. The radio signal is ok, IMEI is ok, it says "Insert SIM card" when I try to enter the Network Operators in settings menu.
I have downloaded a stock rom with newer PDA and modem versions and flashed them with Odin, but no luck, everything is still the same (except the flash counter...). I wonder if searching and flashing even a newer modem would solve the issue. Or would a newer Android version if there is. :silly:
It looks that this is a Vodafone related issue with the new cards, but all they say is that the sim is operative and won't help.
