This is a patch to fully enable the GSM on CDMA Global phones.
The Global Phones are phones with CDMA and GSM modems but that are usually configured to primarly work on CDMA network and at least to be able to call on GSM network.
The patch is working on every Stock Rom, on every AOSP Rom and on every Android version.
If you are successfully using this patch please comment the thread with your phone model.
This patch will enable:
- GSM/UMTS -> [GSM auto (PRL)] in Testing menù
- SMS
- MMS
- 3G Data
- USSD Code
- Call Forwarding
- Testing menù to manage the baseband accessible dialing the code *#*#4636#*#* (locked on Verizon Phones)
How to install:
- Copy the .zip file to the external memory or memory card
- Reboot your phone and enter on your custom recovery
- From the Install menu select the .zip file and instal withotut signature verification on your Rom
Risk of briking:
- no one: during installation the installer checks everything is ok and stop installation in case of problem; in case of problems after installation the old settings can be restored by simply installing the patch a second time. In this way you can test the gsm settings without any risk.
Advice post-installation:
- If the patch has not been installed on a clean system then you have to do a factory reset
- On the AOSP Roms the Patch is persistent, when you will update your rom you do not have to reinstall the patch
- *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone info -> Set prefered network type -> GSM auto (PRL)
How to uninstall:
- To uninstall the patch you have to reinstall it a second time from the custom recovery
The patch should work on every CDMA Global Phone.
The patch should work on every Rom.
Download the patch here
If someone successfully use this patch on some other model please leave a comment in this page, so I will be able to update the above list.
If someone has edited this patch to support some other phone please inform me so as not to waste information and in this way I can update the patch.
Any help is precious.
HOW TO POST REQUEST FOR HELP:
You have to entirely read this thread, I do NOT answer redundant question.
If you want to know if the patch is compatible with a phone then you have to attach the /system/build.prop in your post in this thread because i don't know all phones. (You can also send me the build.prop as attachment via the contact section of my site.)
If you installed the patch and there are problems you have to attach (and do not post) your /system/build.prop and your /system/build.prop.bak.
I do not answer to requests for help in private, I have neither the time nor the interest in doing so.
Any doubts, questions or requests must be posted in this thread in order to answer a single time and help everyone.

Everyone can help me to extend support for more phones.
Thanks.
Patch updated for better GSM support.
works flawless on my Razr xt912 in Pakistan using Gsm network.
Thanks a lot man.:good:
Available a new update to solve problems with apns on 4.3.x roms.
It works on my Droid razr Maxx xt912 with CM10.2-20131020-NIGHTLY-spyder ROM, my phone is using GSM carrier
New version working well on Vodafone Ireland with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on XT912.
This version also leaves the ROM version intact - older version for 10.1.2 seemed to update the string.
The version that changed the string was only for the xt894 with cm 10.1.2, that was the first version.
Works great on my XT912 with MIUI v5. Thanks.

I may have misinterpreted the topic I guess, but did install this while I was overseas with my Verizon phone, everything was fine but now it seems as I am unable to find 3G network back in the US. I have changed the specs from GMS/CDMA , etc on the settings but no signal of 3G/LTE.
Anyone has had this issue before? Any way to turn it back to normal so that I can get data here in the US?

In US you can not use the GSM on many Verizon phones, you have to use the CDMA and you have to restore build.props and apns list.
The patch has been successfully tested on droid bionic xt875 in and outside the US and on droid 3 xt862.

Mentor I have a question.
I flashed on XT912-Spyder CM 10.1.3 but even before I did flash I would have no service at all , I have Euorpean sim card which has active roaming.
When I put it into iPhone 4S it shows T-Mobile USA but in settings T-Mobile.Poland settings so it roams, it gets signal,receivies texts.
IN XT912 it only shows phone number in settings that is all , i flashed your patch.. I will do it again maybe it will help I don't know.
Can you help me? if I get sim to work I will have my buddy replace screen,battery everything and put this phone into use for someone.
You could try installing the patch on clean system before first boot without restore any backup.
Let's me know.

EDIT:
Same thing I just did what you told me it instantly showed the European phone number Poland area code +48.
Signal Strength : 0 dBm 99asu
I can't understand how when I put it in Verizon 4S which was Unlocked by VZW it shows signal,receives texts etc.. the droid razr after JB update was suppsed to be unlocked for European use for example.
It even synced local time in Poland which is +6 hours! it seems to pull up number and time but no signal
Is there anything else I can try?
In your recovery: factory reset, wipes, install patch and then reboot phone.

Yep did that and still no ago same thing.
Before I got the phone (Got it for free)
when I first put AT&T simcard it showed me roaming triangle for few seconds ever since that time the signal just does not work.. at all.
The xt 912 is GSM locked in the US and could be locked for AT&T sim outside US too, you could try with another sim.

Well yes I know so why when I put in T-Mobile Poland sim card which roams on T-Mobile USA it shows nothing but only phone number? it's weird.
Works fine in 4S unlocked by Verizon.
Hi
Does anyone have stock firmware for Huawei E5776 in English please.
My E5776 was showing NO SERVICE after unlocking from EE no matter which SIM I used so I updated it to a newer firmware version but that turned out to be some Russian network's firmware and moreover its in Russian language.
Is there anyway that I can revert back to the old EE firmware in English or update it to stock firmware if available.
Thanks

I have the same request.
I buyed my Huawei to ebay from UK but unfortually the modem wasn't a stock firmware but EE mobile firmware.
My modem is unsimlocked but I need stock firmware also because the modem is in roaming because I use it in France with Bouygues Telecom operator.
I use correct APN but WAN refuse to connect...

Got the same one with EE firmware, it reports that it's in roaming, but after setting up APN and connecting manually (or marking the connect in roaming checkbox) it works fine.
But I'm also interested in getting the stock (or other than EE and english) firmware.
Someone tried german updater?

Found stock firmware/dashboard for my E5776 from ee.co.uk!
And it's working fine - here's a screenshot which proves that:

It's on german huawei site: http://huaweidevices.de/e5776?show=downloads but it's multi-language!
There's also pdf with instructions - first need to install the Update_UT* (drivers) and then the e5776_Update*.
If it asks for flash code, you can generate it here: http://www.modemunlock.com/huawei.php

firmware / version
hi
is this firmware compatible with all versions of e5776? mine is e5776s-32...
really hope so
Yes, it is
Hi,
Yes, I have just updated mine which was an EE branded, all is well happily connected to three using the stock firmware.
If yours is an EE one too then don't forget to get the firmware update password from that site in the post mentioned earlier.

what's EE? an network? i'm from Portugal... and mine is from a different network... 'll it work?
Likely to work
Yes, it is likely to work.
EE is a network in the UK.
The stock firmware is coming form the German Huawei site.
It did work for my device, at any rate, there are no guarantees.

No nothing to worry about. That is just the location of the JS served by the router. (It will not run, when you click that link.) But since yesterday I also need these:

Update and lose 4G
I recently followed the instructions on installing the stock firmware on my OPTUS 4G E5776. All seemed right, I had the Huawei dashboard, but after doing this, all I can connect to is to the 3G network. It seems that if you use the stock firmware, you will lose the ability to connect to the 4G network. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to set is so you can still get 4G? I have searched high and low and could not find anywhere to download and reinstall the OPTUS firmware again so I just returned it to where I purchased it from for a replacement. I am not game enough to do this again until I know I can get 4G, as this is the reason I purchased the 4G modem in the first place for better and faster speeds.
Thanks
4G Connection
@Brad1982
Someone who followed the instructions on my website to update the firmware just got in contact with me today with exactly the same issue (on the UK EE network).
To restore 4G connection go to the connection settings page and switch from Auto to 4G only and save setting. The modem will now connect correctly. Once connected for the first time you can then switch back to Auto and 4G should still work. Why this step is necessary is a bit of a mystery I'm afraid!
drops connection
I followed this thread to unlock and install the default firmware, all went ok but I find that it drops connection frequently. I change settings to 3G only and manual connect which seems to help but it still does it, any ideas?
I have seen some of the bugs mentioned here also:
http://willtaylor.org/update-e5776-firmware/
I found this link looking for an update but it looks like source code, may be useful to someone:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=16443
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 CDMA Verizon & GSM phone. Originally it was on android 4.1.2 and working fine for both CDMA and GSM (one at a time). CDMA EVDO Rev A data service was working fine.
I am using this phone in Nepal (not in USA). It was carrier unlocked for both CDMA & GSM when I purchased from Amazon. (so, I guess, Originally it may had some customized firmware/ROM for International use, I don’t have much idea).
I was asked for firmware upgrade every time when I run Samsung Kies. One day I clicked to upgrade the firmware. The upgrade was over successfully. But the new android version I found on my phone was 4.4.2.
In this version /new upgrade, I was unable to use CDMA data (EVDO-rev A). So I wanted to reverse back to old version. I search the process in Google and tried to load firmware with the help of Odin3 using this file:- “I535VRBMF1_I535VZWBMF1_VZW.zip”, but it was not successful. Result: Fail(Auth)
Then I loaded firmware for 4.4.2 using Odin3.09 (AP: “I535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_I535VRUDNE1_HOME.tar.md5”) and now the phone is working.
• If I use GSM SIM I can make call and use HSPA data service as well by adding new APN.
• If I use CDMA RUIM I can make call, BUT DATA SEVRICE using CDMA EVDO Rev A is NOT WORKING!! (I can not save APN in this case).
Now my issue is how to make CDMA EVDO data service working in my phone, because my basic requirement is to use this phone for CDMA service (voice + data).
I can edit the APN but when I click “Save”, nothing was saved. So I can not select APN for my carrier. I tried using APN Manager Pro too, here I can enter & enable the APN, but did not work. The phone is not able to dial the data access code #777 (verified from CDMA service provider side trace).
Can someone help me what I should do to make my phone working for CDMA data. My phone is rooted.
I guess it may work for CDMA data if I downgrade it to 4.3 or 4.1.2,
Can I do that. If so what are the procedures / steps. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciable.
My data worked this way

I think your problem is the region is not set Nepal...I installed dark jb rom in my phone and data was gone since then. Then I manually downloaded stock firmware and flashed through odin but still data wasnt working,nd while in recovery mode i saw region INS ie India. then something came in my mind and.. .I changed it to NPL and now i can use data in only sim 1 only not in both sims. So i also may need some help.
For you *#272*IMEI# . Use your phones IMEI number there (*#06#) . Select NPL region.
NOTE: It will hard format your phone installing required carrier apps, aps, bla bla and hope work on your phone

I found that the hidden menu (& hence secret code dialing) was disabled in my phone. Following guides from Google search I enabled it. Now codes likes "*#06#",*#1111#", "*#0228#" etc are working, but "*#272*IMEI#" is not working. Any idea, why it is not working?

Well, it looks to me as though you've locked your bootloader and are now stuck on 4.4.2. For some reason, Verizon forces Samsung to lock their bootloaders, which means we (the consumers) cannot install "custom" firmware on our devices (or downgrade).
Once you're on 4.4.2 NE1 your stuck with it. No downgrade possible at least not without a Jtag service

My goal would be to install Cyanogenmod on my SM-G920R7, but haven't been able to find too much help. Any of the rooting methods that seem to work on rest of the S6 variants, doesn't seem to work on this one. There is no TWRP available that I know of.
I would really appreciate any possible help. Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem
I think that this version of the s6 (the cspire version) isn't widely available enough and no one has bothered to make a root for it - ive been searching for a long time and still haven't found anything
I'd like to at least be able to root this thing.. On 5.1.1 now.
I have a rooted cellphone of this version (I purchased it rooted), is there any workaround to unlock GSM/LTE bands on this device?

Edit... Okay, so I went back to fresh stock with SmartSwitch, then flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr and Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 via odin 3.10.7, and rooted again... any method to enable gsm on this device yet?

That's not true. I finally rooted that model and got TWRP installed, and followed the steps to get the Sprint Galaxy S4 domestic SIM unlocked. I finally got data and texting working last night, but I can't get calls to work for some reason on an AT&T SIM card. It even shows up at AT&T as my provider. AFIK it is now SIM unlocked, the only thing not working is calls like I said. I'm sooooo close to getting this working. I need people with this phone that are doing the same thing i'm doing! I only paid $50 for it! lol

lazydude said:
my goal would be to install cyanogenmod on my sm-g920r7, but haven't been able to find too much help. Any of the rooting methods that seem to work on rest of the s6 variants, doesn't seem to work on this one. There is no twrp available that i know of.
I would really appreciate any possible help. Thanks in advance.

use the cf auto root download this use google to search first one that comes up use that link go to model sm-g920p cspire and sprint uses
the same network . Use odin to install i have same phone and have mine rooted in this way. So far tried using the sprint version custom rom it will work but you can make phone calls but not the data side for phone internet.

Make sure you go to phone settings under find my phone and turn off reactivation lock
Any way to get the G920P roms to work on this variant? I've had luck with them with other c-spire/ntelos/r7 phones in the past. I'd like to flash Renegade to it...

Wonder if anyone has got calls working using GSM sim card? I have the cspire G920R7 rooted with LTE data working using AT&T sim.
Won't receive calls (straight to vmail) and when placing calls dialer says CALL ENDED immediatly after dialing.
hmmm.

I'm working on this too. So far I've got the same situation as you, Data works but no calls/text.
in a few weeks the person who wants me to unlock this phone for them is switching carriers and plans on buying a new phone to use until I can unlock the S6, so I'll have more time to mess with it then.
There's a few things I want to try, but I can't post links here (XDA rules).
One involves Rooting and using a service code to unlock the bands (google "TeamUSCellular GSM unlock S6")
The other also requires rooting and involves using "galaxy tools" to unlock the bands (not sure if this app works with marshmallow, though) (google "theandroidsoul how to sim unlock sprint galaxy S6")
My hopes are not high for getting this phone to work fully. I've also been trying to get custom ROMs to work, but I can't get the cell radio to work at all on custom ROMs. Even with the stock SM-G920R7 Kernel straight from the latest update .tar

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I have tried galaxy tools (GT) to change the phone mode to LTE/GSM auto and tried different CSC values, and accessed the hidden menus through there. The sim unlock in GT asks for a code which I dont know, but the phone doesn't seem to be locked anyway since it doesn't care when I try different sim cards. Weird thing is the GT app doesn't work very well (most hidden menus not working) on the current rom i'm using but worked better on the stock cspire rom. Note, I tried using MSL 000000 in ##3282# data menu and it works but most the settings in there don't seem to be applicable to GSM networks.
Currently I'VE been messing with the build.prop file, also tried the CDMA to GSM flashable zip which edits the build.prop but nothing has gotten better. One time after editing the build.prop the phone would only turn on with a blank screen and vibrate every few seconds, that was SCARY. Also was planning on flashing other radio/modem but having trouble finding many of those files and pulling them from roms seems difficult to get the correct file to flash on odin.

I'm not sure you'll even be able to flash other models' modem..? I can't say I've ever tried.
Anyway, getting your hands on the firmware is easy. Just use SamFirm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647)
To use it, just input the model number (SM-G920R7/R4/P/V/T/A) and the region code, then select "auto".
Region codes and model numbers:
C-Spire: ACG (SM-G920R7)
US-Cellular: USC (SM-G920R4)
Sprint: SPR (SM-G920P)
Verizon: VZW (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920V)
T-mobile: TMB (SM-G920T)
ATT: ATT (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920A)
This app downloads firmwares directly from Samsung servers, so the download is really fast and guaranteed to be perfect/stock.
**the SM-G920R7 is closest related to the SM-G920R4 (US Cellular) & SM-G920P (Sprint). The US Cellular one recently supports GSM Bands natively without any rooting/messing with hidden settings, so that's where i'd start. You may not even need the baseband/modem, just flash the rom? I'm not sure. Good luck dude It'd be awesome if you get it working
*** Also, make sure you have a backup of your EFS before messing with the modem. Apparently if you flash an incompatible modem you can erase/corrupt the EFS partition and lose your IMEI. Hell, make a FULL backup with TWRP, and make sure that backup is copied over to your computer before doing any flashing. You can't be too careful with this.
Haven't had any luck flashing stock firmware or modems from other models using Odin, errors with a security message or something, tried G920A and G920R4. Probably for the best I suppose. Flashing custom roms has not been a problem, even if the don't work properly. Wonder if there is a test mode or way to use logcat to see why calls don't proceed like normal. Never worked on going CDMA to GSM before, I always did CDMA to CDMA in the past.
Hello Guys, at first thank for all people for this forum, helpe us a lot. First time posting here.
I bought a Docomo Galaxy Note 3 SC-01F, then I wnet to Docomo Shop to unlock the SIM, the unlock worked well. I put by Odin the International rom to use the phone in my language and used in Brazil with the local SIM operator, all things worked well. So now I returned to Japan, and took a AU KDDI SIM in AU shop. The seller put the SIM, and configured the data transfer(OK) but the call number failed(Mobile Network not Available), he tried at least 3 hour. So I went to my house and tried by odin put the original docomo firmware, but the result is the same, the network data is ok, but call function return the same error. In the place of antena signal show a circle look like prohibit.
I tried other firmwares more recents provided buy this site, no result.
The IMEI is the same in the back of device.
Put the Access Point data provided by AU seller.
Tried to search the network, just show docomo and softbank, sometimes show the AU, but I try to connect give failed.
Try to automatic, failed.
I dont know what can I do more. Please anyone have some idea?
The problem is I cant connect to AU KDDI provider to make calls "Mobile Network NOT Available".

The company name is AU KDDI of Japan. When I bought the SIM, the seller gave to me these data to configure after I flash rom by odin. Because the seller did not got success in international ROM.
I did a flash by Odin the original firmware from the original company(Docomo) and put the data provided by the seller.

no problem, we are here to help.
im sure the problem is the phone, since sims, networks andphones are very different the all have some conectivity issue when you unlock it, my best advice is go to the and see if they can help you if not then try rooting it and flashing a custom rom for the phone and im sure that will help you most of the time

Thak you again.
For example:
If I root Android 5.0 (SC01FOMUGOI4) - released on 2015/10/05, what must I do after root? Why I need I custom ROM?

Well after the root you must check if device is bootloader unlock if so look for a method to unlock it, then flasha custom recovery and flash a custom rom.
Well is basically a firmware with a bucnh of customization, tweaks and mods, it also lets you use your phone software as yours not as the company whants you to use it. There you can use customs roms from other phones that are compatible( ported roms) and try them it can include fixes or be more compatible with the network

I understood and studying about it.
The first step i got it: ROOT THE ANDROID 5.0
I used the method below, and checked if success in "root checker" and other app, its OK.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56569/SC01FOMUGOI4_SC01FDCMGOI4_DCM/
https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-3-docomo-sc-01f-on-5-0
The second step I cant do it: Bootloader check
The guides in internet say this: *#*#7378423#*#*, but in my phone I cant use the dial, show "Mobile Network Not Available"
Any other Idea or tutorial to follow? I saw other methods but cant understand.
My objective is: Try to put the firmware of my sim card owner(AU KDDI), to see if I can use the Dial.
Thank you very much

No way. Most of sim free or sim unlocked smartphonese will never work with au kddi sim cards>
the reason is au network uses cdma frequency system >
most if not all others are using gsm and wcdma
