Hello all. I need some help. I recently traveled down to the US, and decided to place my blackberry (rogers) sim card into my fido nexus s, to avoid getting charged on the fido account. everything worked great. Until I came back to Canada, and tried to use the fido sim card. It will not recognize my fido sim anymore, it says emergency calls only and sos over the signal. If I try to edit the apn's they won't save. Thought it was a bad sim, so I went to fido, and asked for another, so they gave me one, and it doesn't work still, and they tried it in a different phone and it worked at the store. so I am lost. If I re insert the rogers sim, I am on the network right away. I called rogers, I called fido, I went down to the fido store in person. I searched the net. I've done a factory reset, I've done restores. I've tried to use unlocking apps from the market. The phone just thinks there is no sim card. I am running miui, and while in the bootloader, the carrier info says that it is at&t... I did flash the rom while in the US to an updated version, with the rogers sim. I have tried to reinstall the rom after that, updated the rom, flashed the kernel and the radio, but with no success. Can anyone please help?
Hey! Running Darkyrom v10.4 and flashed a different modem. 1st one worked but was slow, 2nd one did not work and now I have no service. I went into mobile networks and can't do anything, message saying insert sim card. Is my sim bad from flashing or is there another way to change the apn settings? Thanks, kurt
does it show anything under baseband
ok more questions
SO everything was working great last night, right up until I flashed OTA jellybean onto the Phone
now it forces CDMA usage
Flashed back to stock 4.0.4 attempted to rehack the radio thinking that the updated re carrier locked the radio, well it didnt work
I am using a straight talk Sim and the Sim Serial is read correctly, only it Now ID's it as a sprint Sim
and the Phone type as CDMA
and the Phone Number is gone from the sim as well
the Phone Meid is also read correctly
Can a OTA flashed VIA RSDLITE REWRITE A SIM CARD?
I could make calls on my newly liberated phone just fine last night but now i can not after the 4.1.2 update
anyone else have this issue? any ideas how to fix?
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?
