I'd been using my Razr HD Maxx xt926 in the UK on the stock ROM 4.1.2 but could not get WiFi hotspot working as it called back to Verizon and told me I was not subscribed.
I unlocked the boot loader, installed TWRP did a backup then flashed with LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 all good so far but could not connect to the cell network and make calls or data. Then I found the *#*#4636#*#* and Select radio band menu... in the LiquidSmooth ROM there are various bands to choose from non or which worked and no European Band. I restored my Standard ROM where the Radio was working then I took a look at *#*#4636#*#* and Select radio band menu and choose USA Band. This turned out to be a bad idea as now I cannot get the radio to work, all Im seeing is the signal meter with a red no entry symbol on it.
Since then I've tried: Wiping / Formatting use TWRP, Going back to LiquidSmooth, Eclipse 1.3, CM 10.1 and various fiddling with the Networks options in setting and this (but its for the US) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
Any help much appreciated as the only other options I've read about are walking in to a Versizon shop where they can flash it back to standard, but I cannot do that being in London :s

After lots of fretting I've finally fixed it by following this http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick...-unroot-unbrick-droid-razr-maxx-hd-xt926.html
Hello all,
I recently got the XT926 from Ebay. The phone had CM 10.2 ROM installed when I got it and it could detect my SIM card. Everything worked almost fine. I was able to access the internet through HSDPA and I was able to make calls. However I had issues with not being able to send SMS and MMS. I couldnt save the SMSC number so I decided to install the stable release of CM 10.1. I wiped, and flashed CM10.1 using TWRP that already existed in the phone. Now, after that, the phone will no longer detect any SIM cards no matter what operator or ROM I use. I live in Sweden and I'm using the GSM network. Wifi and all other functions work fine.
I even installed the official VRZ_XT926_9.8.1Q-79-1_CFC.xml but still its not able to bypass the activation screen because it wont detect any sim cards.
Any idea or suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

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
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

hey guys sorry to spam if this is being posted in incorrect section.
I live in UAE. I bought used american note 4 sm-n910p unlocked network. the person who sold me this phone already had it unlocked to use GSM sim. UAE sim used to work perfectly untill i flashed lineage rom to it. lineageos is awesome i loved it everything works fine but cannot get any sim to work in lineage. it always says no service. i tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* and changed to gsm only but that was resetting as soon as i reboot so i modified build.prop ro.radio.networkmode=3 to unable GSM on boot but that shows my network name and emergency calls only. i restored my previous backup rom in which GSM sim used to work but now after restoring sim doesn't work in backedup rom too and *#*#4636#*#* is not working in my backup rom :crying:
and if i reinstalling lineageos rom *#*#4636*#*# is not taking any effects
i flashed stock sm-n910p rom from sammobile that locked the network and shows "Hands Free Activation" so i reinstalled my backup rom. in this rom network bar shows but network always shows (searching)
Please Help:crying::crying:
BTW i cam across octoplus on youtube but soon realised it needs dongle or octoplus box to unlock sim. and saw some hacked videos it says octoplus can work without any box or dongle. Is This True or just haox to download their trojan virus?
