Hey everyone, thank you for reading this post. I recently purchased an AT&T z998 and I have a problem with the data connection. My carrier is Airvoice Wireless (it runs on AT&T networks). I had to factory reset my phone with a small google play problem and after that, the data connection would not work anymore. Everytime I open the browser, it would just give me a host error. I followed the instructions at airvoice.com to add the apn again and it would still not work after that. I am rooted running cwm. I used framaroot with the gandalf exploit. There is an option in cwm that says format carrier. I didn't want to risk anything so I didn't try that. I tried flashing a rom that was a simple tweaked version of the stock rom and it would not work even after adding the apn on that rom. I am really stumped and not sure what to do. If anybody has any advice or fixes, I would be grateful. Thank you again.

Hi there,
First post where I feel like I've tried everything and about to give up. Bought SCH-i705 Verizon tab 2 7.0 with LTE, I live in Canada in an LTE metropolis with TELUS service, I rooted the tablet according to here which was successful.
I never was able to edit/add APN's (there was nothing showing or options to do anything on APN setting page...so then made a few edits to build.prop with two lines where I can add/edit and return to default. (ro.sales_code=LOL and ro.csc.sales_code=LOL)
I've edited the apns-conf.xml file a ton of times, made adjustments all over the place comparing to my other android units and forums for TELUS apn settings. I disable the Non-Verizon Sim Card alert just so that I could feel better about maybe getting somewhere.
I'm a noob (and a girl) and this is the first root I've ever done JUST because I couldn't ever obtain LTE/3G data connection. WIFI is great but I bought this unit for the chance to be mobile with it.
Tonight I thought Mr. Hyde's Modem change here would kick it in the butt but still, reboots continually give me "No Internet Connection" errors. Is there a way to tweak in build.prop to get this functional? I really don't want to have to set up a hotspot for this puppy when on-the-go.
Thanks in advance,
Lisa
What i would do is do a clean flash of the rom again before trying various modems. MrHyde03 has two modems i believe that he has posted for the sch-i705 one is the g3 and one is j1. If youve downgraded to g3 i suggest flashing the newer j1 before you reflash his rom. after you have the current up-to-date modem flashed then boot into recovery and do a factory wipe. also make sure to go into mounts and flash the /system. Try to flash the rom again after youve done this before attempting to mod the system since there are no other post for internet connection errors in hyde's thread.
I ran thru doing a clean flash of the rom and steps you outlined. Still no avail... One thing I noticed this time on the locked screen was "searching for service"... when I went on to attempt to add my APN with the 2 lines from my frist post into build.prop so I could add my APN settings, the "searching for service" went away.

<bump> hadn't heard if anyone else had any other ideas to get data working. I don't have a way to test whether a data connection functionality is even possible as outside of Verizon territory at this point. Any other Canadians in Bell/Telus/Rogers regions playing around with this specific device?
I recently got a new ROM for my sgh-1727r, the cyanogenmod 10.1. Now when my phone boots up it won't connect to my mobile network and I can't send calls/texts. Help?
You have to install the "radios" search for them and update them that should fix your problem
this link might have what you need
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...-plus-links-to-g-appsrc-rel-and-gplus-thread/
Thank you so much for helping! I successfully flashed it, however, I still don't seem to be getting any service. Was I supposed to clear cache/data before flashing the radio?
Hello all, I am new to this site and have a situation I could use some help with.
Last year I bought a new ATT SGH-I747 S3 in the US. I had it unlocked by T-Mobile and now use it in Ecuador.
Here are the facts;
ATT SGH-I747
Android Ver. 4.4.2
Base Band I747UCUFNE4
Kernel 3.4.0-1514807

This is the problem, I recently bought a Samsung Tab 4 to use for work. I intended to use the wifi-tethering between my S3 and Tab4. When I try to select hotspot I get a message saying "no data plan and or bad sim". Everything else works fine.
I went to my provider and they said the phone was broken!!? I went to a tech and he said that my provider is NOT in fact a 4G network as advertised and I would need a root to make it work. I have tried several apps to solve this but no luck.
I read that the CM11 Rom would correct this issue even in a NON rooted device, this led to several others issues; can't use Rom Manager on this device, can't make backup without root, I did finally find an app that would allow me to save my efs file but from there I have no idea what to do. If push came to shove I would lean towards rooting and using CM11, if it would solve the hotspot issue.
I have read several one click root, one click this, that posts but they seem to leave out some important pre root steps, like backup, efs file saving etc. At this point I am at data overload and could use someone who can give me the straight no B.S. this is what you need to do steps to resolve this. I am very good with electronics, but phones are not my forte.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi Guys, I know I am an idiot for not following all those guides properly and now I think I have bricked my device?
Well I am in Australia and I have this G920P model on android 5.1.1 (Unrooted). All was working fine, I bought it second hand from someone, I believe this is a U.S Sprint version, But I had my Telstra sim working in it with 4g data without issues.
So I decided to root it (without backing up- I know my mistake) and then flash XtreStoLite rom (again without doing any backup of original Rom). After that My device did not detect my sim card and there is nothing in the IMEI section of the phone.
I tried to flash official G920P rom via odin which installed successfully, and it shows signal on my phone, let me make calls but No Data. Seems like it is not registering my phone on the network properly.
So what have I done to my phone? Any chances to recover it somehow?

Have you the efs folder in your / partition? To check:
-Open any root explorer
-Go to / and check if efs folder exist
-If exists any file into it, tell me.

Thanks for a quick response, I Installed a root browser app and yes I can see EFS folder there and there are a bunch of folders and files in the EFS folder. e.g bluetooth, carrier, cpk, Factoryapp, imei, lost+found.... and so on
Appreciate your help in advance.
Have you checked your apn setting ? Make sure your carriers apn settings are restored.
Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Ok, I have entered my network's pan settings manually and I get can get the data working but it only picks up 3g not 4g. I can make calls too.
But every time i restart the phone it keeps on checking the network status and picks up the signal after 3-4 minutes.
Also its stuck on the Hands Free activation screen and keeps on re-trying it.
Any help would be appreciated if I can get my device back to a normal one. Any other ROM's should i try?
One more question guys, Is there any non - sprint ROM for this device G920P? Because when I bought the device, I had no sprint stuff on it. No boot up splash screen or anything. I did not make note of which build version was it on but it definitely said G920P and it was on android 5.1.1.
Thanks
You may find and extra menu by typing ##scrtn#. I wouldnt reset to defaut as those general would be sprints settings. Try to find your carriers apn settings online.You should be able to cancel the hands free default activation. Are you still rooted?

Hmmm... Go to settings-info and verify if your imei/other address (ex. bluetooth) is correct...

Stock or custom? If i find it i'll give you a notice asap.
I am now on a stock rooted rom. Would prefer to have a rooted rom. I have tried installing renegade but it get stuck on finding network and stuck in a loop.
Imei number is now showing up. But i wonder what version this phone was on when it was unrooted ? As everything was working perfect and i had no traces of sprint either.

I haven't found any custom rom. Only pre-rooted and deodexed rom
Sounds to me like you had the "XtreStoLite Odexed Pure ROM"

Hmmm.. this morning i have found the stock prerooted rom... If i found the XtreStoLite rom i'll give you an update.
I have the international Note 5, with a t-mobile sim card. When I am on the 4g network and I try to call somebody it takes 20-30 seconds to call. When people call me, they can't reach me. Though the 4g internet works like a charm.
The only way for calling to work is to switch it to 2g, but I am loosing the 4g internet speeds.
I contacted t-mobile, they tried to reset the network, but the problem persists.
Any suggestions?
Would flashing with a custom rom help?
Should I flash the original t-mobile rom?

I found the problem
The problem has to do with the volte... This option is not available with the n905c model that I have, and there seems not to be a fix with t-mobile. Fricken Samsung didn't put available this feature in the upgrades of some international phones eg the Dubai model that I have...
I have the same problem
I just bought two t-mobile branded Note 5's and I'm using them on Family Mobile (previously owned by tmobile). If I limit my networks to 2G & 3G all of my calling works fine but the moment I enable LTE all of my incoming calls go strait to vm. The problem persists on both phones so I don't think it's a hardware issue. I've tried rooted and unrooted, magisk and supersu. VoLTE is turned off on both phones (since it's not supported by family mobile) but I've tried every combination of settings I can think of and nothing helps. I hate having to choose between having LTE or getting incoming calls and would love to fix the problem. Or is there a good way to totally disable or remove the VoLTE services? If I remember correctly there were similar problems with some of the S4s that required an app like advanced signal status (??? been a while) to overcome. Can anyone help? Please and thank you.
I have the same problem
Hi all,
I have the same problem, even I have install & root with custom rom the problem still exist.
someone told me that the problem is in 3G signal.
so I decide to choose LTE & GSM only, & it works for me. however it could not give 3G signal on my phone.
Did you find the other olution of this?
Evening all, I've been having this same issue, hoping there would be a fix. Not ready to purchase a new phone when there is nothing wrong with the one I have still good for at least another yr(maybe). but not rite now.
i fix the problem
Hi all,
maybe this method could solve the issue. please try it & follow below step.
1. reset to factory setting then after finish please clear Dalvik Cache.
2. Flash with the latest Odin & latest firmware, but you don't need to change everything in options tab. then click start.
3. After finish, then insert APN as mention in this link (please read how to set APN on Galaxy note5)
4. After select your desired APN, please change APN name become ****4g.com (or you can find this apn setting in your carrier SIM (check in google)
5. Finish, please check your phone.
hope above method could solve the issue, however it works for me now.
please try at your own risk & don't forget to always save your data before.
This is the FIX for the Note 5 SM-N920 C, i know this works because i have been dealing with this for MONTHS, so i tried EVERY Custom Roms Untill i figuard WHY NOT flash a Stockish T-Mobile Rom with a Custom Kernel for the 920C. And Just like that i got My Awesome Note 5 BIZACKKK, Here we go, Follow these steps, Upgrade to the FIRST 7.0 that came out for the SM-N920C, of course you should already know to turn on debuging + OEM, Flash TWRP through Odin, then go to the TMOBILE Development Section and THANK "@Marinella" First and foremost for cooking up this Rom, Download his Stockish Unrooted Rom ++7.0 ROM Stock Unrooted N920TUVU4EQE1++you will also need (MAKE SURE TO THANK--->>> ""@AndroidSword"" ) this 7.0 Kernel, go to the seack bar and type it in, FUEL-KERNEL-V2 .... now before anything, Of course do FULL WIPES Of Everything like you usually wipe when downloading other Roms, flash the stockish Rom first, then the Kernel, Just so you know, the Kernel has 2 choices of root. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT>>!!!!, Boot your Device and wait, this took me months to figure out after flashing so many diffrent Rom, Now I Have My Favorite International Note 5 Back, trust me , this WILL WORK ON THE 920C. ENJOY...
hi,
above method is for SM-N920C, do you have solution for SM-N920T ?
No Idea, sorry, try different Custom Rom, i have not heard of this issue with the 920T. Good Luck.
