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.

I tried many different combinations of roms and kernels and almost all the radio's (tmo, bell i757, blaze) but nothing seems to get my phone to work on wind. I would always get no sim error.
Somehow on gingerbread after flashing some radio (can't remember which one i think one of the newer tmobiles), the phone recognized my sim card and then i could change the network settings (made it HSPA+ only) and I was able to get a strong signal. But after i restarted the phone i got the same problem (no sim card - insert sim card)
My phone is unlocked (tried with rogers and bell sim cards), and I rooted it, and its running ICS 4.0.4 Rogers STOCK (ULFX3)
Can someone guide me on what troubleshooting i can do to get it to work on WIND (AWS/like t-mobile)

keep cable unplugged, wipe everything, flash a radio, then flash a rom
read this first as to which radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119788

LTE/GSM/WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA - which should i pick for Wind? - Does it even matter
Should I do something to the APN - there's nothing there
I unplugged and wiped before trying out these combinations of radios with rom's -
i757MUGLH2 - ICS and CM10.0.0 - no sim –detect - telus, rogers and BMC
SGH-T989 - UVLH1 and CM10.0.0 - no sim –detect - wind mobile, telus, rogers and BMC
Blaze 4G_LB7_ICS and CM9 (unknown baseband)– no sim – detect – wind mobile, telus,rogers,302320, BMC
i757MUGLH2 - ICS and CM9 - no sim –detect - telus, rogers and BMC
SGH-T989- UVL14 and CM9 - no sim –detect - wind mobile, telus, rogers and BMC
SGH-T989 – KID - and CM9(unknown baseband)– no sim –detect - wind mobile, telus,rogers,302320, BMC
Let me know what are the next steps I should take to trouble shoot my NO SIM problem, because i think if i can detect the signals then the radios are working

So sorry I meant D821
have you tried to use a different sim card? someone elses sim card..
My nexus Sim is Vodafone and I have a tablet that supports calling with Etisalate Sim, I switched the Sims and the Vodafone one works perfectly on the tablet but the Etisalate don't work on the mobile and when I returned them back the Vodafone don't work again and the Etisalate works again so the problem is with the phone
I tried re flashing Paranoid Android but the same problem
Try flashing stock. If it's the same, it's hardware. Sim card, device or something. Or its carrier related issue.
Sounds like the radio is set to LTE only mode.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and check your network configuration

Unlocked D850 for TMO now I can't get LTE with AT&T, TMO LTE works fine. I have both AT&T and TMO sim cards . I'm running Stock KK rooted . I did upgrade to lollipop and still no LTE on AT&T, but lost root so I downgraded back to KK via LG Flash Tool.
I tried a few different APN's with no luck. IDK any help would be appreciated

Which APN's did you try??
I tried the nxtgenphone that was the default one when I put my AT&T sim in. Also tried "phone", this one I get 4g but not lte. I also found one that was either "pto" or "pta" I think it was "pta" this one I get no data at all, same with the "nxtgenphone"

Sir I purchased a new unlocked S6 Edge ( 925A) at&t device from abroad to use in india.
The guy told it's fully unlocked and it support any sim card. Buy when I checked with Indian Sims I am getting only 2g signals .. I am not getting 3G and 4g signals..
When I checked for network selection mode settings it's missing in the settings.
No software OTA update is available. . I think it's also disabled.. when I checked the device status it is in "custom"..
So if I flash a stock ROM with Odin will it lock again ?
Do I need to unlock it again.. ??
First check the model from bootloader, if its actually a att variant then you can flash a stock rom too make it work as normal, but if its some other variant then get back to this thread again.
Its surely an at&t Variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.. its model number is 925A.. which is only available for ATT..
Its baseband version is G925AUCU1AOCE
I purchased this phone as fully unlocked from UAE but in india when i start to use it i came to know that its not taking 3G and 4G signals .. but 2g Signal and Data services are working fine..
I got the phone in rooted condition without any Boot animation of At&t. Since its rooted i am not getting any official updates.
I am also facing many software bugs.. from different apps..
So really want to flash the phone with a new stock rom for using it..
I have some doubts about it please clear it..
1) if i flash it with an official att stock rom will it lock again for att network ?
2) can i remove the att boot animation after flashing with stock rom ?
Sent from my SM-925A using XDA Free mobile app
Providers in India use bands 3, 40, and 41 for LTE. The AT&T S6 Edge is only compatible with band 3.
I doubt you'd be able to flash a different ROM, and even if you could, you still wouldn't have compatibility with bands 40 or 41.
Firstly Thanks for your reply.. i know that S6 Edge at&t only support Band 3 LTE cuz it's a FDD LTE supported device.. in my country here providers are using both TDD & FDD LTE bands for LTE..
In my region "Kerala" at presently all the providers are using Band 3 which is compatible will my phone. But i am not receiving any LTE and 3G signals..
My friends have different unlocked phones from T-Mobile they are not facing any problem..
I am still doubt the flashing ROM.. i am going to flash the stock rom for at&t.. it's the only official rom available for my device.
It could be an APN issue. Make sure the settings are the same as your friends are using. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Nothing Wrong with the APN.. cuz i am using 2G data without any problems.
We have same APN for all 2G ,3G & 4G..
I think its the problem with my software..
I can't switch between LTE/WCDMA/2G because that network mode selection option is disabled or not available..
I am compelled to flash a new Rom..
I don't have any other options.
I own a good phone but i can't use it . Really sad about it..
for sure people here can help you more on this
