Hi All! We've been working with this issue for 2 days at our help channel #helpmenow.
I currently have an s-off 1.27 hboot sensation XE running Insercoin v 2.0 ROM.
My issue is I don't have get signal for a particular carrier. (Other SIMs for other carriers works just fine). This carrier used to work before, I was just charging and then I noticed that it got no service.
These are the steps that I took so far:
1. Check antenna at the cover
2. Tried SIM on another phone (SIM Works)
3. Tried a DIFFERENT SIM from a DIFFRENT carrier, it works fine on MY phone.
4. called my provider but no issues on their side.
6. used RUU
7. tried RIL's
8. Flashed old 1.17 firmware to clean radio data.
9. Flashed a different ROMv with and without full wipe
10. Also tried downloading apps to enhance signal but to no avail.
we've been working this out with ganesh007, kgs1992, T-Junk, David_ and others on the channel but as of now I still got the same issue.
Hopefully you can help us figure this out so it could be of use to others who might have the same issue in the future.
PS: Right now I am using a different SIM from another carrier so as to get the phone function of the Phone. The carrier you see below my name is the one that is having issues right now.
Thanks in advance.

Kabayan, we are on the same boat. I have the same exact issue..Sensation xe(2nd hand), originally from Singapore(Singtel), went as far as going back to GB stock. At first, I thought it was just sim locked to Smart, but when I tried a Sun sim, it worked. At this point, I do not know what else to do. Tried cleaning s58,tried firmwares with different radio's, etc. After reverting back to GB and putting in a Globe sim it still says "Your sim does not allow a connection to this network" and no signal. If you got any updates, please let me know. Okay?
I ordered an unlocked Rogers HTC One X to use on at&t, which I received yesterday (Wednesday). When I got the device, I inserted my SIM card, added the "at&t pta" APN (which I found here on XDA) and connected just fine to at&t's LTE network. No troubles through the rest of the day.
This morning (Thursday), I noticed I only had "4G" signal, i.e. not connected to LTE. I checked in the mobile data settings, under Network Mode, and saw that the GSM/WCDMA auto was checked. I switched that over to the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, LTE showed up in the status bar, but I had zero data connection. This has been the case all day today. The LTE symbol is there, but only the Up arrow blinks between white and black; the Down arrow does not light up at all, so no data on LTE.
- HSPA data works fine
- my at&t plan is definitely provisioned for LTE (I've been using a couple of other LTE devices in the last few months with no trouble)
- LTE data definitely worked yesterday (speedtest showed over 15mbps down and 11 up)
- I did put my SIM card back into my Galaxy Nexus for a couple of hours last night before putting it back into the One X (I'm thinking this is somehow related, but can't figure out)
- I've tried a couple other at&t APN settings (Cingular wap - fine for 3G data, but no LTE, 'Phone', again fine for 3G data, no LTE)
- My SIM card is indeed a micro-SIM and is only a couple of months old, at most
Any ideas? I'm pretty much out of ways to troubleshoot at this point, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I think there is a specific AT&T APN that you need to plug in to get LTE enabled. Did you make sure your SIM is LTE compatible? Are you running the stock Rogers ROM or did you install a custom ROM? Is your bootloader unlocked? Have you tried updating the radio to AT&T default radio?
Just wanted to knock some of those questions out there.
I think the AT&T PTA APN is the LTE setting that's out there. I haven't come across any others.
I'm completely stock (it is a Rogers rom), haven't yet rooted or unlocked the bootloader or anything like that. Nothing has been flashed.
Actually, I just realized I ran the software update last night before bed, which put me on software version 1.94.631.3. Android version 4.0.3, Sense 4.0. Now I'm willing to bet this is the cause of my trouble. But HSPA working and LTE not working is still puzzling.
I wonder if it's the radio version not being 100% compatible. Are you willing to unlocking and flashing a custom Rom based on an at&t Rom? That could rule out a software issue assuming your apn settings are good.
I have the Telus version and had lte issues until just recently on CleanROM.

I was thinking about going through the unlocking/flashing process this weekend actually, as I'm pretty sure there is an issue with the radio like you said.
Just need to find some good tutorials to get me started.
Thanks!
Check out the guide I have in my signature. It's for the Telus variant, but the Spoof-CID would work with the Rogers version as well. Also, the Rogers version is, by default, unlockable though HTCDev.com so you're good there. The step by step instructions on HTCDev is pretty straightforward, but having a tool like the Spoof-CID program helps in getting the required information sooner.
Definitely read up on it and ask as many questions as possible. Good luck!
Great, I'll check out your link.
Thanks for the help.
So I managed to get LTE working!
I figured I would at least flash a different radio.
- Started out with the htcdev.com unlock method, which was pretty much painless.
- Used the method in Athrun88's signature to get TWRP flashed over to the One X
- Downloaded (and flashed) one of the CM10 nightlies
- Downloaded (and flashed) the AT&T 1.85 radio file
- Dialed *#*#INFO#*#* from the deviced and selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto network mode
- Got LTE!
Flashing CM10 might not have been completely necessary of course, but I couldn't resist, and it's been pretty great so far.
Make sure you go and knock out the superCID hack too. That way when things go wrong, u can use the 1.85 at&t ruu and skip all that in the future:beer:
Hi SBA1226
Thanks for sharing. I had the same problem after doing the Rogers update and thought the At&t LTE service was out in my area.
I had flashing experience with my gnex, but never dealt with HTC phone. What exactly is that Spoof-CID.bat procedure as described in Athrun88's guide? Was that the guide that you follow? Would really appreciate if someone can point me to a step-by-step (maybe with picture ) guide.
Another question I have is do you loose functionality like wifi hotspot or media link HD when you flash custom rom like CM10 or cleanrom 4.5 DE?
Thanks.
I did not use the spoof-CID in Athrun88's guide, but I did use the rest of the guide to get TWRP recovery flashed to my One X.
You'll want to start out by going to the htcdev.com site, registering, and following the step by step instructions there to get your bootloader unlocked. They make it really easy to complete.
Once this is done, you should still be in fast boot mode, so just follow Athrun88's guide to flash TWRP, and you're on your way to flashing ROMs.
I can't speak for CleanROM, but I've had no issues with wifi tethering in CM10.
Also, there are quite a few guides on YouTube that I found really helpful.
Good luck!
Thanks. I will try it this weekend.
By the way, is there a simple way to back to stock? Thanks.
I was in the same situation with a Rogers One XL, no LTE on CM10, and here's what I have done so far to get LTE working, though I'm not quite done.
1. RUU back to 1.94 Rogers (from this thread): http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/sho...X-XL-LTE-RUU-s
2. Unlocked the bootloader using the official process, flashed TWRP
3. Flashed the stock rooted 1.85 ATT ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
4. Flashed the ATT 1.85 firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
I had LTE now.I then flashed to ATT 2.20 ROM & FW (not RUU) and LTE still worked.
I assume it was a RIL/FW compatibility/requirement for ATT LTE, so going to CM10 should work, but I have not tried.
Hope that helps some.
My goal would be to install Cyanogenmod on my SM-G920R7, but haven't been able to find too much help. Any of the rooting methods that seem to work on rest of the S6 variants, doesn't seem to work on this one. There is no TWRP available that I know of.
I would really appreciate any possible help. Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem
I think that this version of the s6 (the cspire version) isn't widely available enough and no one has bothered to make a root for it - ive been searching for a long time and still haven't found anything
I'd like to at least be able to root this thing.. On 5.1.1 now.
I have a rooted cellphone of this version (I purchased it rooted), is there any workaround to unlock GSM/LTE bands on this device?
----
Edit... Okay, so I went back to fresh stock with SmartSwitch, then flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr and Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 via odin 3.10.7, and rooted again... any method to enable gsm on this device yet?

Yes, it was SM-G920R7... first, I flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr , then Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 , both via ODIN (you can google both files), note these files are NOT for r7 version (they're for sprint version *g920p*) but they'll root the phone.
I ended up getting rid of the phone as there's afaik no way to enable gsm on it

That's not true. I finally rooted that model and got TWRP installed, and followed the steps to get the Sprint Galaxy S4 domestic SIM unlocked. I finally got data and texting working last night, but I can't get calls to work for some reason on an AT&T SIM card. It even shows up at AT&T as my provider. AFIK it is now SIM unlocked, the only thing not working is calls like I said. I'm sooooo close to getting this working. I need people with this phone that are doing the same thing i'm doing! I only paid $50 for it! lol
Can u help me get mine unlocked , ive already rooted the phone.

Any way to get the G920P roms to work on this variant? I've had luck with them with other c-spire/ntelos/r7 phones in the past. I'd like to flash Renegade to it...

Wonder if anyone has got calls working using GSM sim card? I have the cspire G920R7 rooted with LTE data working using AT&T sim.
Won't receive calls (straight to vmail) and when placing calls dialer says CALL ENDED immediatly after dialing.
hmmm.

I'm working on this too. So far I've got the same situation as you, Data works but no calls/text.
in a few weeks the person who wants me to unlock this phone for them is switching carriers and plans on buying a new phone to use until I can unlock the S6, so I'll have more time to mess with it then.
There's a few things I want to try, but I can't post links here (XDA rules).
One involves Rooting and using a service code to unlock the bands (google "TeamUSCellular GSM unlock S6")
The other also requires rooting and involves using "galaxy tools" to unlock the bands (not sure if this app works with marshmallow, though) (google "theandroidsoul how to sim unlock sprint galaxy S6")
My hopes are not high for getting this phone to work fully. I've also been trying to get custom ROMs to work, but I can't get the cell radio to work at all on custom ROMs. Even with the stock SM-G920R7 Kernel straight from the latest update .tar

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I have tried galaxy tools (GT) to change the phone mode to LTE/GSM auto and tried different CSC values, and accessed the hidden menus through there. The sim unlock in GT asks for a code which I dont know, but the phone doesn't seem to be locked anyway since it doesn't care when I try different sim cards. Weird thing is the GT app doesn't work very well (most hidden menus not working) on the current rom i'm using but worked better on the stock cspire rom. Note, I tried using MSL 000000 in ##3282# data menu and it works but most the settings in there don't seem to be applicable to GSM networks.
Currently I'VE been messing with the build.prop file, also tried the CDMA to GSM flashable zip which edits the build.prop but nothing has gotten better. One time after editing the build.prop the phone would only turn on with a blank screen and vibrate every few seconds, that was SCARY. Also was planning on flashing other radio/modem but having trouble finding many of those files and pulling them from roms seems difficult to get the correct file to flash on odin.

I'm not sure you'll even be able to flash other models' modem..? I can't say I've ever tried.
Anyway, getting your hands on the firmware is easy. Just use SamFirm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647)
To use it, just input the model number (SM-G920R7/R4/P/V/T/A) and the region code, then select "auto".
Region codes and model numbers:
C-Spire: ACG (SM-G920R7)
US-Cellular: USC (SM-G920R4)
Sprint: SPR (SM-G920P)
Verizon: VZW (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920V)
T-mobile: TMB (SM-G920T)
ATT: ATT (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920A)
This app downloads firmwares directly from Samsung servers, so the download is really fast and guaranteed to be perfect/stock.
**the SM-G920R7 is closest related to the SM-G920R4 (US Cellular) & SM-G920P (Sprint). The US Cellular one recently supports GSM Bands natively without any rooting/messing with hidden settings, so that's where i'd start. You may not even need the baseband/modem, just flash the rom? I'm not sure. Good luck dude It'd be awesome if you get it working
*** Also, make sure you have a backup of your EFS before messing with the modem. Apparently if you flash an incompatible modem you can erase/corrupt the EFS partition and lose your IMEI. Hell, make a FULL backup with TWRP, and make sure that backup is copied over to your computer before doing any flashing. You can't be too careful with this.
Haven't had any luck flashing stock firmware or modems from other models using Odin, errors with a security message or something, tried G920A and G920R4. Probably for the best I suppose. Flashing custom roms has not been a problem, even if the don't work properly. Wonder if there is a test mode or way to use logcat to see why calls don't proceed like normal. Never worked on going CDMA to GSM before, I always did CDMA to CDMA in the past.
Was up to many hours and accidentally flashed tmobile marshmellow radio onto my phone. reflashed with propper radio and original firmware and know only get edge when trying to use gsm sim.. previously was getting 4glte with gsm sim. have tried dfs and enabled the lte bands and saved it but when try to add the lte config data never sticks ... help please cause edge sucks lol..

Ok im really hoping someone can help me.
Bought a N920F (yup doesnt exist but N920p's have taken a trip to China to be turned into this strange model)
Now the phone was working fine on Lollipop, and model used to show N920V and baseband Sprint it was like a hybrid custom firmware probably hacked up to be used in UK, but download mode etc. showed it was a N920P originally. Now I wanted to upgrade to Marshmellow, before this I made a nandroid backup and also backed up Radio & Efs using app.
Upgraded succesfully with stock N920P and now no network, tried everything. Then thought I could downgrade via flash to Lollipop to no avail as I think its now locked to do so. Nandroid restore not happening as I believe its locked to restore also unless maybe I was on lollipop.
So now im stuck on stock N920p firmware thats not working in UK networks. Im about to give up, is there any solution. Would unlocking the phone in its current state unlock it to UK networks. I hope there is a solution.
Any help to the right direction is much appreciated.

now the 920p firmware is locked out of the box if it was unlocked sometimes certain rom flashes will relock
as prev poster said activate device is for sprint users only will never work
have you tried to goto network settings and making sure its set for global or automatic.
also is it saying invalid sim or anything like that normally first signs of being relocked.
i paid 34.99 for a unlock from the idone app worked great.
