I have bought two phones from the same person with the same story for both phones; The story goes that ATT could not provide good reception at his home with these phones and replaced them with new ones. He sold me the old ones. Neither are on the blacklist, and now both are unlocked. Neither telephone not texting work on Tmobile, However, both work on Att at Att regional fix it place. T-mobilre states that it is an issue with Att, LG states that the phones are fine.
I recieve these error messages:
LG G2...Upon entering 2945#*800# gets a 5 option menu for sim unlocking, all of which return the message "Your phone is not persaonalized"
.....3845#*800#accesses the hidden menu. yielding: firmware 4.2.2, APN Delete states that there is nothing to delete, RMnet auto connect Mode is Off; RF call info yields calibration status OK; Call Test, Auto call test yields Not implementation: Modem Settings, LTE Band Selection lists Bands 1-5,7,8,17,and 20. All of which when checked result in FAIL.
In Modem Settings, In LTE-A CA setting, There are 3 "buttons" titledCA Enable / SupportedBandO?(it runs off the line) listing all-enable,Pcell B4 Scell B17, and Pcell B2 Scell B17,Pcell B177 Scell B2, and the other two "buttons" CA Disable / Rel. 10, and Rel. 9. For whatever that means.?
I ran a bug report that resulted in a 1,457 page document(5.9mb), not attached, as it is way too big. If you were to run a word search on telephony, it might tell someone more knowledgeable than me what is wrong with this phone. If you need to see it I will post it to box and give you access to it. If there is any more information that is needed, I will gladly provide it.
I've read this forum for about a month on this issue, and am probably stumped because I am beyond my level of understanding here.
Whatever suggestions you have would be appreciated.
PS, the phones work in every other way that we have tried.
Thanks, Woody3
Please Review Att to Tmobile lg g2
Understand that Phone may or may not be unlocked. But you need correct APNs to make Data and MMS Work. You need SIM unlocked to get a Signal with T-Mo Sim. Same with your other phone the S5. Please review SM-G900T on AT&T MMS problem
Please post on the respective threads if you continue to have issues.

Thanks, I tried to set up the APN again, but still get kicked back to the mobile network folder when it tries to connect automatically...I can not connect to the network, it doesn't get that far, it keeps putting me back two folders back.. If this is the wrong thread, Please direct me to the correct one. I read the thread that you referenced above, but my phone won't get that far in the process, and therefore that thread does not go deep enough. Am I missing siomething else?
I will check on the Sim unlocked issue, mine would be locked.
Thanks for your time.

Hi. I've found this site to be very helpful in my attempts to activate an Alltel HTC Hero cdma on the Page Plus network.
I finally got the phone to make calls, but it says that I'm roaming - there's a triangle above the signal strength meter. I checked it by making a call and it charges me the roaming rate of $0.29 a minute. I think I need an updated .prl file, but I'm not sure.
I'm able to send and receive text. I cannot send or receive MMS or connect to the internet.
Maybe someone here can help me. Please
Phone will be used in Berlin, WI 54923 (Near the following cities: Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Fond du Lac)
Original phone details:
Alltel network, but Alltel is no longer in my area. Alltel customers were sent to Element One. I don't know if this affects what I'm trying to do.
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202900444
SIN/NID 1/65535
MMS Server url mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms
I rooted the phone and got my MSL (000000) number and made the following changes
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202799238 (from Page Plus)
SIN/NID 240/65535 (got "240" from Page Plus, they couldn't give me a NID number so I used the same one)
MMS Server url mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (got this from searching on forums)
I downloaded a .prl file via KittyWireless manual programming instructions kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html
I updated the PRL from my sd card by dailing ##775# and "commit changes"
When I make a call, I'm always asked to re-enter the 10 digit phone number I'm trying to reach. I've tried the following OTA programming numbers *228, *22800, *22888, *22890, *22891. I always get the following "Message AP 32 Welcome to US Cellular ..." It should be Verizon or Alltel, right?
I thought I might be using the wrong NID number so I tried 65335 (which I think is for Verizon), but it didn't make a difference. Still roaming and same messages when I try OTA programming.
I don't know if this means anything, but when I dial ##DATA# to edit mode I can choose either Data Profile, EVDO, or Advanced. If I choose EVDO, I get a blank screen. I can't make any changes.
So, I'm thinking I need a different prl file. Would this affect my data connection for internet and MMS too? What do you guys think? Can someone direct me to the right PRL file?
I've spent hours trying to get this phone to work... if you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks!
PRL Update...
Hi there..
I've found the following PRLs useful when using Sprint Phones on Pageplus, so perhaps they will help with the Alltel Hero. I've used 51425m on my Alltel Hero on Pageplus. Worked like a charm. The 52505m is the latest VZW EvDo PRL.
Noticed the thread is old, but may help anyone else trying to do this.
Ive been trying to get 3g data working with my Nexus S on Pageplus.
All I can get is either a good 1X data connection or a slow, intermittent 3g connection.
I will try these PRL's when I get home.
Thanks!
any luck on getting this working yet ??? I can not find any solutions anywhere
You contact your carriers

I'm new to this forum, so if I've posted this in the wrong place, please move it.
I have an AT&T branded Galaxy SII i727 Skyrocket (4G LTE). It is not unlocked, has not been rooted and runs AT&T firmware. The phone was purchased independent of a contract (eBay). I am a very light user, but I find it convenient to have a data plan and initially used AT&T GoPhone prepaid. Phone and SMS worked properly, but some tweaking was needed to get data to work properly. After a few months, I switched to Consumer Cellular (AT&T MVNO). Initially data did not work, but CC's tech support gave me revised Access Point Name settings and all became as it should be.
Last week (or maybe the week before), I finally gave in to the phone's insistence on updating to a later firmware version. From then on, I have been unable to get data to work at all. the 4G symbol no longer appears (although I doubt it was ever actually a 4G connection) and any App that requires a data connection (web, email, etc) complains about no connection. WiFi, on the other hand, works properly with all such Apps.
Here are the specifics on my phone:
Samsung SGH-I727
Android 4.04
Baseband Version I727UCLI3
Kernel Version:
3.0.8-1127534
[email protected]#1
SMPPREEMPT Thu Sep 27 23:12:45 KST 2012
2012​Build number IMM76D.UCLI3
My questions are these:
1. Has anyone had this sort of problem (data on CC fails after upgrade)? If so, how did you solve it?
2. Was this problem caused by the upgrade? If not, what other issues might have caused it and how can they be corrected?
3. How can I revert the firmware to the previous version to confirm the cause and/or resolve it?
4. What else can I do to get my data connection back?
I am not particularly Android savvy, but I am not shy about making changes in settings and/or installing fixes.
Thanks,
Tenaya
I am having the same problem. Same phone set up. I switched from AT&T and installed a Net10 sim on there bring your on phone. Installed been working great. Then it just stopped no data connection. 3g 4g no signal nothing. I have been searching for solution while reading the noobie guides. still looking for someone, a thread, or just a link to where i might start to solve this problem.
Check your apn settings and make sure they are correct for the SIM card. Check with the carrier for the correct settings.
APN settings, I almost guarantee it. Check to make sure they are correct for your carrier

yes for anyone else having this issue I had the same issue after flashing a new ROM and this was where the problem was.
Hello there,
I am trying to get my Verizon Galaxy S3 to work in Germany. I have rooted my phone and flashed JellyBeans vs. 0.1.8.
I followed the steps in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
When I am in the Mobile networks settings, I have changed the access points name to Vodafone (the carrier I am trying to use ) I have already changed the Network mode with the Phone Info app. After I try to change the access points name, it asks me to select a network operator. My phone then begins searching and it lists Vodafone DE as one of the options to select. When I select that option, my phone tries to register this option, but eventually it says "Unable to Connect, Try again later"
Can anyone offer any advice as to how to get my phone working with Vodafone? I've read and reread the guide I listed above, as well as searched for other threads that talk about issues similar to what I am experiencing, but I haven't had any luck. I would appreciate it so much if anyone has any suggestions!
Thanks!:fingers-crossed:
Hi everyone.
Last time i was in xda forums was when i try to mod my windows mobile CE 5.0 lol
This is my sad story:
I bought in the US a samsung s7 with T-Mobile SM-G930T, i paid a guy who 'unlocked' it in there. After that i brought it to Colombia, in here i run the T-mobile unlock app which succeded and erased itself after that. Then the cellphone started working with all the mobile companies in my country except for one that operates over 1800 mhz, other companies do work fine. When i insert a simcard of this company it just says that 'Not registered in network' and wont do nothing. I already tried to put the APN settings correctly (Actually it automatically loaded every company settings detected).
After that i tried to root with a modded Odin with a custom ROM and it succeeded and i got the SuperSU application, tho the cellphone its a little laggy now, but neither that way it worked. Anyone knows how where should i start looking?
I went to this company support and they sent me to Samsung support, which redirected me back to this company, lol
Thanks in advance guys

Hi,
It seems your phone is region locked due to which you are locked onto a particular mhz network frequency...
yes the first step would be to try to a custom rom to see if this over rides this situation or you could try below situation below... this is ideally for s6.... or atlast google search...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/enabling-using-servicemode-t3109579
Ok, since now we have root, many users wanted to know if they can lock onto certain LTE frequency bands using Samsung's ServiceMode. So here is a quick guide.
ServiceMode is Samsung's proprietary Engineering Mode, built within the TouchWiz framework, readily available on International variants, and some domestic like T-Mobile. It allows us to observe the RF connection, change certain RF related settings, and lock our phones onto specific technologies and frequencies. Sadly, Verizon has been blocking user access to Engineering Mode for years now.
So in order to enable access to ServiceMode on Verizon GS6/Edge you'll need to:
- Download Root Explorer
- Navigate to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
- Use TextEdit to open it (not text viewer)
- Change the value to ON (upper case), Save and Exit
- Restart the phone
Once restarted you can dial:
*#0011# to observe the connection
If you want to lock your device onto a specific LTE band (13, 4, 2):
*#27663368378#
- UE Settings & Info
- Settings
- Protocol
- NAS
- Network Control
- Band Selection
- LTE Band Selection
Here you can force your phone onto a specific Verizon LTE Band (13, 4, 2), or use LTE ALL if you have VoLTE (Advanced Calling) enabled as this will eliminate the need for CDMA radios.
To go back to default, go through the same process but at Band Selection make sure to chose AUTOMATIC.
There are a lot more settings here, you can enable AMR WB on UMTS if you use T-Mobile so you can get HD Voice on their UMTS layer, etc... Carrier Aggregation has already been enabled, so no need to tweak that.
If you aren't sure what certain settings and values correspond to, it's better to avoid tinkering. You're responsible for your own actions.

Then he registered and posted his query here so he seems to have posted in correct section.
Just documenting this here.

Forgive me if this has been covered but I havn't found the answer. I've flashed just about every phone I've ever had but my question here is can I / how do I flash to where the phone reads as XAA in download Mode?
The situation is my phone was originally on at&t. They unlocked it and I'm on Verizon. It all works great (it still says at&t on download Mode screen)
My problem is that if I log into the my Verizon app it disables my visual voicemail. I finally got a Verizon tech on the phone that explained that it is unsupported due to originally being on a different carrier and their system identifies that and disables the VVM. The only fix I can find is to put my sim in my backup S9+ that came from Samsung unlocked (or any Verizon phone) and I can then reactivate my VVM by resubscribing.
I currently have 3 Note 20 Ultras. One Each originally from Samsung, ATT and Verizon but the AT&T is the only one that is 512GB or I would just switch phones. I have flashed them all to U1 firmware but notice they all still reflect the original carrier in Download Mode so again my question is can I change this by flashing it / or is it just a matter of what sim card is in it when it's flashed? I need it to be seen as XAA by Verizon system so not to loose VVM... Pics attached.
Any advice here is greatly appreciated in advance.
Just a try... You can try the *#272*imei# method... But thats If it works. Not sure if the sims has to be in the phone for that to work.

Yes it brings up this menu... So I just select the XAA and that's it? I've been reading forums and this method is reversible it seems ... I'm familiar with Odin and all that but these hidden menus are new to me...
Thanks for the reply btw
You may have to activate the bottom most option to stay.
Don't worry if you can't access the menu after the change. You can download samsung band selection and change to automatic or one of the lte options then back to automatic to get to the menu.
CSC Guide
CSC (which I think means Carrier Service Code) helps to set what options for settings show in the device for things like voicemail and wifi calling, as well as sets network code information for things like carrier aggregation combos.
When you go to your phone settings->about phone->software information and look in the Service Provider SW ver. section, you will see as the last line a combo like XXX/YYY/ZZZ. This indicates what carrier sales and network code is set and what brand the phone was manufactured as.
I think of the XXX/YYY/ZZZ configuration as follows
XXX=Sales Code-What kind of features are setup in the firmware like wifi calling, video calling and settings menus
YYY=Network Code-What kind of network features are set for things like carrier aggregation and LTE/5G bands
ZZZ=Manufactured as Code- What model the phone was originally manufactured as. Ot has no affect on the system settings or options. THIS CAN NOT CHANGE. IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE SAME. ONLY A ROOTED PHONE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE FILES NECESSARY TO CHANGE THIS.
for more details, refer to post:-

Hello All, Many people have asked about service mode and CSC related questions and I thought we should get a discussion going that is all in one place. *DISCLAIMER* I do not take any responsibility for any issues that may occur from changing...
