First of all i am certainly no expert but this might help. From the way i understand it the sim is for LTE and you would have voice and 3G if no sim existed. When you unlocked it
you allowed the phone to go international. How ever if the sim card that is in the phone is a US sim it will not work out side US. Since you said that you are in Venezuela right now
and did not say where you purchased the phone can i assume that you might have a US sim in it. That being said pull the sim out and see if the phone will now give you 3G.
If it does then get a new sim from where you are.
it wouldnt be cdma at all, just gsm, and your data issue is likely all due to the APN settings. Sounds like youre international unlocked, which is good, but your apn settings are likely messed up. I see that you are rooted, but are you on the stock ROM?
still no solution for DATA on gsm device

i am currently traveling around and i have bought the sim unlock code for the Infuse and it works great. i can use the sim cards from Taiwan and South Africa without a problem.
But the 3G capability on the sim cards are not working on the Infuse. i tried with my other phone i bought unlocked GS2 (international version) and the 3G was working great
do i need to root in order for the Infuse to be able to connect to 3G with other country's sim card? or i just need to do some setting on the phone?
please help, it's annoying carrying this big phone and unable to use it properly
thanks
You will probably need to put in the correct APN settings for your carrier. Many of the other ROMs will update the APN automatically, but the stock
ROM does not.

As PVD04 said thats an APN problem, go into google and search for the company you like for example i use 3g here in mexico and i typed " Telcel APN configuration" (Telcel is my carrier)
Do the same for your carrier on the country you currently are, then go into--->Settings--->Wireless and network--->Mobile Networks--->APN (access Point Names) and configure a new one typing the data you found about your overboard carrier.
That will fix it.
Also... i know its already done but... you dont need to buy the unlock code" many samsung phones can be unlocked for free Infuse can, searchf or the "how to unlock" thread next time =)

hi all =)
i have a galaxy S3 r530 from US cellular. it is rooted, and i have followed the steps in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
i am wanting to get my ATT sim to work in it, but although it shows the network mode as GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it will not recognize my sim.
i tried switching to global or any other option, but it wont change from GSM/WCDMA/LTE
any advice would be appreciated =) im new to this, and need my phone on ATT as UScellular services ever city except mine :/
Hey guys, I ran into a bit of a problem:
I rooted a Verizon S3 that my friend gave to me, sadly, I'm on AT&T. What I did was root the phone, change the APN settings to what "att" should be, and for some reason it doesn't work! I tried to change the settings on the Network from LTE to GSM then GSM to Global and nothing works. :\
I checked if the IMEI was blacklisted, knowing that this was my friend, I had to make sure, and good enough, it isn't blacklisted.
So, to cover this all up, I have a Verizon S3 I-535 that's root and trying to set up a signal for AT&T so I can use it, as long as I have calls/texting, I'm good with it. Thanks so much for any help received in this thread!
Ok all I'm a newbie here so don't hate on me please.
My problem is that I cannot receive MMS and have no data other than WIFI??
I just rooted a Galaxy S3 (Verizon) SCH-I535, 4.1.2, Build#JZ054K.I535VRBMA2.
I set up the phone GSM/UMTS and am using an AT&T sim card from my old phone (HTC Inspire), the sim card that was in my inspire was on of the large kind that did not fit the Galaxy so the guy at Best Buy had a little stapler looking thing that actually cut it to the right size?? I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem or not? I don't think so since I CAN use the phone for calls and text messages, but you guys are the pro's. UPDATE: I did go to AT&T and get the proper sim card.
I used ODIN 307 and a file named-root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2_nowipe.tar.md5, to root the phone. I installed APN Manager Pro and Titanium Backup, both paid apps. I made APN Manager a system app in Titanium Backup just like I have read in other forums.
I have tried to use my old HTC settings for the APN and various others I have found online, including NET10 but nothing seems to work! I still can't receive MMS or network data??
If anyone can help me to figure this out I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!!
That's not gonna work...

You're attempting to use an AT&T sim card in a Verizon device. Setting the device to use GSM/UMTS instead of CDMA/LTE while using an AT&T sim card that has been modified to fit a Verizon slot still wont work... it's still a Verizon device. AT&T and Verizon may both use the same frequency bands of 850 MHz and 1900 MHz for 3G, and 700 MHz for LTE, but their commonality ends there. To my knowledge you can't get what you're trying to do here to work. Even if you could get it to work, it would likely not be an easy task.
If you want your Verizon SCH-I535 to work, you'll need to use a Verizon sim card with an active Verizon Wireless plan.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news man... but its not gonna work.

Actually I did get it to work....somewhat. I downloaded the app HiAPN Global for the play store, made it a system app and viola! I now have data and MMS, HOWEVER it is not good by any means. All of my MMS come across as group messages and the data is EDGE at best.
I am wondering if I need to flash a new ROM and recovery....bootloader?? I'm kinda lost with all the information out there but cant seem to find my exact situation.

You will only get EDGE. i used to use at&t Sim in Verizon S3.
The way I got data to worm was flash CM10 stable FROM AT&T Version (i747) to the Verizon version (i535)
That doesn't mean ALL roms will work like that. You don't have to believe me that it worked as some people will say "You can't flash a att ROM on a Verizon phone".
Some Roms have MULTICARIER support. Try one of those. But again, you will not get any speeds faster than EDGE. Verizon has those bands locked for US carriers, but there unlocked for over seas. (Weird huh)
Edit: IM NOT TELLING YOU TO GO FLASH A AT&T SLECIFIC ROM. ALL IM SAYING IS I USED A AT&T VERSION OF CYANOGENMOD TO GET MY DATA WORKING.
I have a sprint Galaxy S5 with sprint and it is unlocked via UICC, what do i do from here? I'm trying to switch to prepaid Boost Mobile, The sim is entered and I have LTE / CDMA network, from boost mobile, but my problem is, is that i cannot change my APN, please help me find out how to change this, Thank you for your help!
Update!
Here is my Modem with the UICC unlock and the EFS, hope these files help out the community!
Modem Download Link,
dropbox.com/s/9mz4v8hmmqt4mi9/Modem.zip?dl=0
EFS, in attachments!
P.S Please help me with my mentioned question!
to change your apn try ##3282# then View-> APN Settings
Thanks for that but, unfortunately i figured out that it is not changeable, I guess due to stock APN, now what i need is a guide on how to flash my phone to boost mobile, I recently seen on the forums forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060085 this thread, is there a way i can follow this thread? or someone remotely flash for me , (not sure how that will work) Thanks for the info!
unlock boost Mobile galexy s5
I am a boost Mobile customer, I likat I get for how cheep I get it for.
I want to root y boost Mobile galexy s5, I know unlocking it is the first step. But what if you don't want to change carriers, do I still need to unlock the phone to root it, do I need to go buy a sim from a different carrier to unlock the phone just so I can just turn around and put the boost Mobile sim back in.
Cant find any info on the situation I'm in. Any help would be grate.
My sister just got a sprint s5 and wanted to use it when she travels to Europe. Did this actually work for anyone? If not, is there another way?
If you have a sprint phone and would like to use it for boost mobile all u have to do is call boost customer service and tell them that you need to have the phone rescued. From there they will ask u for the meid number and all done. I have done this several times with my phones. I have sone this with numerous galaxy s3 and now currently my phone i have now which is a s5.
