Hi.
I have SGS5 Sprint version on MOAR Rom from Sprint android develop section. I have some issues with using this phone on non US carrier in Ukraine (GSM). I found how teach my phone use Mobile Data and sending MMS over GPRS network. But every time I receive MMS from somebody, my com.android.phone app crashed and I need reboot in recovery and restore from twrp backups. I tried change some files in MOAR Rom from international ROM (Sec_mms***.apk, sec_telephony***.apk). Also I do not have my local language in settings, even with more locale2.
I installed Shohan ROM with P version support. MMS start work after this, all ok with language, BUT: FM Radio, Fingerprint, NFC not working, many samsung apps not working too.
Can someone help me with this?

This is a patch to fully enable the GSM on CDMA Global phones.
The Global Phones are phones with CDMA and GSM modems but that are usually configured to primarly work on CDMA network and at least to be able to call on GSM network.
The patch is working on every Stock Rom, on every AOSP Rom and on every Android version.
If you are successfully using this patch please comment the thread with your phone model.
This patch will enable:
- GSM/UMTS -> [GSM auto (PRL)] in Testing menù
- SMS
- MMS
- 3G Data
- USSD Code
- Call Forwarding
- Testing menù to manage the baseband accessible dialing the code *#*#4636#*#* (locked on Verizon Phones)
How to install:
- Copy the .zip file to the external memory or memory card
- Reboot your phone and enter on your custom recovery
- From the Install menu select the .zip file and instal withotut signature verification on your Rom
Risk of briking:
- no one: during installation the installer checks everything is ok and stop installation in case of problem; in case of problems after installation the old settings can be restored by simply installing the patch a second time. In this way you can test the gsm settings without any risk.
Advice post-installation:
- If the patch has not been installed on a clean system then you have to do a factory reset
- On the AOSP Roms the Patch is persistent, when you will update your rom you do not have to reinstall the patch
- *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone info -> Set prefered network type -> GSM auto (PRL)
How to uninstall:
- To uninstall the patch you have to reinstall it a second time from the custom recovery
The patch should work on every CDMA Global Phone.
The patch should work on every Rom.

If someone successfully use this patch on some other model please leave a comment in this page, so I will be able to update the above list.
If someone has edited this patch to support some other phone please inform me so as not to waste information and in this way I can update the patch.
Any help is precious.
HOW TO POST REQUEST FOR HELP:
You have to entirely read this thread, I do NOT answer redundant question.
If you want to know if the patch is compatible with a phone then you have to attach the /system/build.prop in your post in this thread because i don't know all phones. (You can also send me the build.prop as attachment via the contact section of my site.)
If you installed the patch and there are problems you have to attach (and do not post) your /system/build.prop and your /system/build.prop.bak.
I do not answer to requests for help in private, I have neither the time nor the interest in doing so.
Any doubts, questions or requests must be posted in this thread in order to answer a single time and help everyone.

Everyone can help me to extend support for more phones.
Thanks.
Patch updated for better GSM support.
works flawless on my Razr xt912 in Pakistan using Gsm network.
Thanks a lot man.:good:
Available a new update to solve problems with apns on 4.3.x roms.
It works on my Droid razr Maxx xt912 with CM10.2-20131020-NIGHTLY-spyder ROM, my phone is using GSM carrier
New version working well on Vodafone Ireland with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on XT912.
This version also leaves the ROM version intact - older version for 10.1.2 seemed to update the string.
The version that changed the string was only for the xt894 with cm 10.1.2, that was the first version.
Works great on my XT912 with MIUI v5. Thanks.

I may have misinterpreted the topic I guess, but did install this while I was overseas with my Verizon phone, everything was fine but now it seems as I am unable to find 3G network back in the US. I have changed the specs from GMS/CDMA , etc on the settings but no signal of 3G/LTE.
Anyone has had this issue before? Any way to turn it back to normal so that I can get data here in the US?

In US you can not use the GSM on many Verizon phones, you have to use the CDMA and you have to restore build.props and apns list.
The patch has been successfully tested on droid bionic xt875 in and outside the US and on droid 3 xt862.

Mentor I have a question.
I flashed on XT912-Spyder CM 10.1.3 but even before I did flash I would have no service at all , I have Euorpean sim card which has active roaming.
When I put it into iPhone 4S it shows T-Mobile USA but in settings T-Mobile.Poland settings so it roams, it gets signal,receivies texts.
IN XT912 it only shows phone number in settings that is all , i flashed your patch.. I will do it again maybe it will help I don't know.
Can you help me? if I get sim to work I will have my buddy replace screen,battery everything and put this phone into use for someone.
You could try installing the patch on clean system before first boot without restore any backup.
Let's me know.

EDIT:
Same thing I just did what you told me it instantly showed the European phone number Poland area code +48.
Signal Strength : 0 dBm 99asu
I can't understand how when I put it in Verizon 4S which was Unlocked by VZW it shows signal,receives texts etc.. the droid razr after JB update was suppsed to be unlocked for European use for example.
It even synced local time in Poland which is +6 hours! it seems to pull up number and time but no signal
Is there anything else I can try?
In your recovery: factory reset, wipes, install patch and then reboot phone.

Yep did that and still no ago same thing.
Before I got the phone (Got it for free)
when I first put AT&T simcard it showed me roaming triangle for few seconds ever since that time the signal just does not work.. at all.
The xt 912 is GSM locked in the US and could be locked for AT&T sim outside US too, you could try with another sim.

Well yes I know so why when I put in T-Mobile Poland sim card which roams on T-Mobile USA it shows nothing but only phone number? it's weird.
Works fine in 4S unlocked by Verizon.
Hi everybody,
I have been following XDA for years now and have always been able to find answers to my questions here regarding flashing for a HTC Desire, Galaxy SII or my current Galaxy S4 I9505, rooted running a 4.3 GPE rom. Baseband is XXUDMB. Recovery is CWM 6.0.4.4.
After following the thread GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez I decided to flash. Love this rom, it's superfast!!! One thing didn't work for me: the phone kept losing connection with my Dutch mobile carrier Vodafone (no data, phone calls not possible), especially after locking the screen. To my understanding the rom does not ship with LTE of GSM modems, so it should not be the problem that a 4.4 LTE modem causes sound, data or WiFi problems when on the "old" bootloader (pre KNOX). After flashing the baseband still shows XXUDMB.
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and setting network type to GSM. However, the menu is not the same as my current 4.3 and the option LTE/GSM auto (PRL) is not available.
Reverted back to my 4.3 rom for now, but really hope somebody knows how to solve the issue.
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

Hello There,
My phone is an L55U(China Unicom variant of D6633). I have been using D6633 non-rooted stock rom for some time. and received lolipop OTA. It was okay but somehow it had problems like not able to read pictures in sdcard etc.
Recently I switched to pre-rooted stock ROM following the procedures shown in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/stock-firmware-23-1-1-e-0-1-customized-t3084544
When using this rom, the google apps constantly crash, so I switched to another stock rom shown in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
(D6633_23.1.1.E.0.1_HK_SuperSU_XZDR2.8.20 thanx to @alvinlim28)
But this time an even more irratating problem occurs. The phone mobile data is disabled no matter how I try. I tried to swap the simcards and it seems only the data roaming can be used.(my two simcards are local Ortel D and roaming ChinaMobile, as I now live in Germany).
Also tried restarting, limiting the simcard in GSM only mode but neither worked. Other functions are fine so far. I am now dowloading the pre-rooted RU ROM but it may take a while. Later I may test with that one.
plz help. thx
Maybe you're using a Rom from another country/carrier. think HK means hong kong in this case. You need to find a german one.

Problems solved after I did these procedures all over again and switched to the customized generic stock lolipop. It turned out that the stock HK ROM somehow couldn't properly retrieve the mobile data network settings.
Interesting.... Have you manually added the APN data for your mobile carrier?
OK
I´ve got one s5 here in Cuba, it is from boost / sprint.
Ithas not been a problem for me to unlock it and make it work on GSM 2G, here.
but I have few issues which I would like to solve.
I cant find an option to import the contacts from the Sim card, so, my sim card contacts are just ignored by the phone, not eveb there is a choice for showing the sim contacts together with the phone contacts.
There are some USSD codes which I cant use at all
APN changing it is another issue, I know this is being addresses in the forum.
Phone is running 6.0.1 PE1 firmware, I can easily root using cf-autoroot.
is there a generic ROM, from international model like g900F, which I can just install to the sprint phone thus removing all the sprint stuff.
I know there is a cyanogen mod 13 out there, but I would like to stick to as close as possible to stock touchwiz roms.
Any suggestions / thoughts / ideas ?
there is an apn manager app called (oddly enough ) APNManager, its available in the play store and its icon is a hedgehog. It does the work for you regarding apns. As far as a stock feeling unbranded ROM, you can TWRP flash whatever ROM you like as the functionality wont be impeded as long as you dont flash the modem for a different model on it. I personally recommend MOAR 7.0 and use titanium backup to backup and delete anything "sprinty". For that matter , you could just use titanium backup to backup then uninstall that same "sprinty" stuff on your current ROM
