Hello everyone!
I'm writing for help from the experts. I don't know if this had been answered somewhere else but i looked all over the place and i didn't find anything for this phone.
After trying and trying for a few days now, i have not been able to unlock my verizon SGS3 so that i can use it with other sim cards.
I currently have it running on JB 4.1.2 it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked thanks to the EZ- Unlock technique.
But when i put in a non verizon sim it says "sorry, this SIM is not supported. please....."
Can it be done ?
Thanks in advance
BTW: i've tryed the "galaxsim", and "Sim unlock" by chainfire as well as all the other similar apps i could find on the playstore but they have not worked for me.

Verizon S3 is sim unlocked for GSM, but not sure about the cdma. You can use it with t-mobile, att etc. There is a thread in android development forum about how to setup s3 as global phone. Try that one if you are using gsm.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Hey !
Thank you so much for responding. I am trying to use it on a gsm network but it wont register, that's why i figured maybe its locked somehow. Also because of the message in the top that says non-verizon sim, it says sorry this sim card is not supported etc..
Where can i find the thread you mentioned?
Thanks again.
Go through the below thread to check how to setup the Verizon GS3 as world GS phone :

Ok so i worked on it till very late last night, and was able to do everything in the thread. My phone now shows the network apn in the apn list in the settings and i was able to get rid of the non-verizon sim message that poped up at startup.
But my phone still won't register on any network, I've tried to different sim cards and tried in global settings as well as gsm/utms auto or manual but it wont register onto a network.
What can i do ? Is it locked by Verizon or something ? Should i flash a different rom ?
Thanks for your invaluable help, i really appreciate it!
Have you tried using phoneinfo? Try using the phone info app to select preferred network type by going into device information. Find link below to the app. Try with different network type

If this doesn't work then try with lte sim card.

Hi!
I have been trying a few custom android kit kat roms on my Moto G xt1033 and everything works great except the fact that my sim card isnt registered by the device, it has that 4 bar logo in the status bar but has no bars and is just a triangle and in the drop down menu it says no connection. My SIM is an Amaysim but sometimes on phones it will come up as YES OPTUS.
Please help and if anyone in australia/global would know how to fix or has this problem please dont be afraid to help as it is unfortunate for me now that i have to run stock 4.4.2 to have a working sim.
Thanks in advance!

amaysim works on the Optus network, it should show amaysim when updated.
Request a new SIM from amaysim if it's an old one, it's free. You can do it from your amaysim account.

its not that its a problem with the roms themselves like for some reason it doesnt work with them it gets picked up but no data signal but if i put back to stock 4.4.2 it works fine. The xt1033 model that australia only has is a dual sim version. I just want one sim working as i only use one.
i just need something for it to pick up a data signal, it doesnt even know what network to connect to in data settings.
someone else must have this issue.
Please help! :crying:
What roms are you flashing on your dual sim XT1033 handset?

Hi, did anyone tried to modify C-spire Photon Q to work on GSM network?
Is there some ROM or mode to make GSM network work?
FYI phone has already SIM mod from CorholioGSM
Thank you, BR
If you already have the SIM mod, you should only need to do the NV edit - requires software like radiocomm. Search around, it's been mentioned a few times - although there isn't a wealth of information about it, there is some.
thank you, could this work?

I have recently bought a used LG G3 D850 AT&T model. The problem is that I'm only getting GPRS or 2g network instead of 3G. I have changed the "Preferred Network mode" to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode but still to no avail. The phone is unrooted atm. I'd be grateful if anybody can help me!
I also have att d850.3g works great.make sure you are in 3g coverage. Because 3g in Pakistan is awful.and if c you are in 3g converge ,walk around your area to check again while using 2g.it will automatically switch to 3g.
Btw which Network are you using?
I have lg g3 850 at&t and I am having the same problem 3g and 4g not working i tried on warid zong and ufone sim but didt work out

You can't upgrade it to stock marshmallow.as firmware OTA requires AT&T sim card to upgrade.
You can have coustom marshmallow.first root your phone and then flash any Rom for d850.

At&t sim is only possible if some one is coming form USA and he brings the Sim
is there any alternative other than ?? or is it possible to get the At&t sim from here Lahore? and how many chances of 3g and 4g working if i upgrade to 6.0

If someone brings AT&T sim for you.It would not solve your problem.As there is no service of AT&T in Pakistan. You can use Custom Rom like Fulmics till someone releases flashable Stock Marshmallow.
And yes,3g and 4g works on marshmallow.
My 3g is working on at&t g3 clody rom 2.5. Go to setting/Tethering&Networks/mobilenetworks/acesspointnames. And set up a new apn. Every SIM has it's own apn.

Well a few days back i got a used LG G3 AT&T showing software version D85010n in settings . It was already rooted (checked from root checker) with Kitkat 4.4.2. But when i rebooted it yesterday in recovery mode, it showed LS990ZV6 under Android System Recovery.
That means i got a converted G3....... Is there a way to install any custom rom in it? If so, which rom should i choose, D850 or Ls990? or should i avoid installing any custom rom in it?
I installed CM 13 rom in my LG G3 850 (020F) (from stock lollipop to Fulmics 6.1 and then to CM due to no data connection in Fulmics).. all is fine but the data connection only keeps to 'E', it never goes to H or 3G. .. the settings are right (APN set right for service provider, preferred network set to 3G) .. what could be the reason ? do i need to change the modem of 3G as wel ?

if u got ls990, cloudyg3 is the best rom i tried so far
1) first u need to root ( no need to if its already rooted).
2) then flash twrp via flashify or autorec.
3) download cloudyg3 (u can search for it here on xda)
4) wipe system, cache, dalvik, data partitions.
5) install cloudyg3 (make sure u check ls990 in aroma installer otherwise u will stuck in a bootloop)
thats it, all your problems will be solved, data will be working fine with H+
signals are good as i have tested on many ls990s.
i m using CM13.1 (android 6.0.1) on my LG 850 .. So far its doing good ... it shows E logo when data is enabled but the internet speed is good and reasonable ... so, i consider this E as 3G here in Pak.
The performance of this ROM is good / speedy and battery is reasonably well.
I hav lg g3 850 and my cell fon not shifting on 2g network if 3g network not availing and remains offlin to network iam using jazz and updated to 6.0
Any one tel me slution

How did you convert your D850 to 3G because I don't have option to change preferred network it's working only 2G please help. Its AT&T phone and I'm using zong.
I'm currently on 5.0.1 unrooted in Lahore and I don't have that network mode option in the setting so I'm stuck with 2G. Can anyone help please?

It automatically converts to 3g where 3g coverage is available. Btw you should try fulmics ROM. It's the best out there.
