Hi,
I'am facing a big problem with my D800 LG G2
I wanted to enable tethering , so i followed instructions given here
It was a seccus enabling tehtring but when i tried to connect to LTE i was only receiving HSPAP
I did everything possible to enable LTE but in vain ( Try 2nd SIM card, Go back to JB stock Rom , make changes in Hidden menu, ..)
I think i made bad changes in Setting.db file and i can not restore original file.
Can anyone help me to restore defaut settings in this file or give me some advice to correct make change in hidden menu.
I run Stock rooted LL actually
I saw in the same thread , someone faced the same issue and resolved it by flashing T-Mobile stock Lollipop
"Flash back to kitkat and still no LTE using Simple Mobile. It must be just my phone! Guess they are not build equally!
Try everything I know how to no success and then I flash the T-Mobile stock Lollipop and LTE connected, Wow. Stupid AT&T have to remove the network type selector from us. It available to international G2 as well."
Is it safe to flash Tmobile stock ?
Hi there,
Recently, I've been having mobile data problems with my s6 duos
I've got an s6 duos from globe, so 1 sim slot is locked to globe and the other sim slot is open line. Recently I've been having problems connecting to mobile data using my smart sim card. In the data service network, the option to choose smart for mobile data is locked/unavailable, so I can only use my globe simcard for mobile data. I've tried using a different sim but no luck.
I was able to use my smart sim for mobile data in the past. Though I have no problem receiving texts or calls with my smart sim
Advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Also, in APN under my smart sim, I get this message
"Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile."

My guess... flash BTU ... latest UK g920F firmware. Its kind of imposible to lock 1 sim and the 2nd sim to be unlocked.
Edit: you may lost warranty after this... and this is only my guess.
Edit2: flash a costom recovery... do a full backup so if something goes wrong you restore everything

Thanks for replying! I've never really done something like that before.. so if you could give me links and let me know what are the risks of flashing?
also my unit was purchased locally in the philippines, will a uk firmware work with it?
In settings search "profile" if the cell phone finds any ,post a screenshot of if... and you find firmware at samfirmware.com... or a guy have posted them in general section uploaded in google drive for better speed download

I had the g920FD... the phone use one EFS for both imeis. I said it cannot be 1 sim lock and 1 seem free. The phone for sure contain something installed from provaider to restrict the sim1. I would flash new version. But as i said 1st ill flash recovery to do full nandroid backup
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?

How exactly did you root it again? Was it SM-G920R7?

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.
Hey guys! I just bought my S8 unlocked in Canada to use it with my sim card from Mexico, my S8 got blocked with that sim card and some forums recommended to use a sim card from the same country, do a 5 min phone call and everything will be nice. It didn't solve it but installed in my phone bloatware from Fido...
I fixed that lock region problem but not this one... Fido install as a bloatware Spotify, so I can only disable, cannot uninstalled unless I root my phone which I don't want to... Yet (at the end of the warranty) and of course, I want to install Spotify the premium one, but there's this little problem
app cannot be installed an existing package by the same name
I tried "uninstall" from abd with my computer and nothing... I tried using apk editor... Nothing...
If you guys know a possible solution another to root the phone, I'll appreciate
1. you can't root the canadian s8
2. change your csc to xac, this is the unbranded canadian s8 firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your whole phone and you won't have any fido bloatware
I get the same error unless I'm installing immediately after a fresh wipe. I dl everything I want then install it after setup.
It worked!!!

Thanks again
Hi,
I have SM-N986B/DS, untouched KNOX, no root, bootloader locked, OTA updates were installing automatically. CSC version was "COS" (Greece/Cosmote). I had an eSim support and it was working fine, as I was using it without any trouble simultaneously with other physical different sim cards. Suddenly I realized that I can't add credit card to Google Wallet and use it with NFC - message from Google Wallet keeps telling me that I can't add a card because my device doesn't meet the security requirements. I'm located in Poland, so I thought it can be related somehow to CSC. I decided to flash "XEO" stock ROM (Poland/not branded), I downloded it from samfw.com/firmware/SM-N986B/XEO (version N986BXXS5GWA7). I thought it wouldn't harm, as I mention, I was receiving OTA updates. After successfuly flashing rom through Odin v3.14.4, phone info shows CSC: "EUX/EUX,EUX/EUX/COS", I was able to use Google Wallet with my credit card. Next, when I was configuring my phone as usual, I realized that I can't add eSim anymore. Nor through my service provider app (Orange), nor through scanning QR code. Each time it was giving me the error message that eSim feature is not supported on this device. I went to Android Settings > Network & Internet, but I couldn't find eSim settings where they were before flashing! Settings dissapeared from my phone. Next I spent whole bunch of hours trying to figure out what kind of crap is this. I flashed COS rom succesfuly, because I was trying to revert to previous installation. Still no eSim settings. I tried all other Poland located stock roms (branded), but eSim settings still not showing. I tried UK unbranded stock rom, but still no go. Then I tried to flash stock rom from different group of roms (Brasil/ZTO) as I read somwhere that all stock roms I was trying were EU located, so the CSC may not be updating as expected. After flashing "ZTO" finally eSim settings were accessible in my phone settings and I could add an eSim and it was working, however again I can't add my credit card to Google Wallet, as it keeps saying that my phone doesn't meet the security requirements. I flashed again XEO, because if I must choose, I want to use NFC with my credit card and eSim feauture isn't that much importat for me, because phone has two nano sim slots I can use. I can tell for 100% that my phone still has untoched KNOX, no root and locked bootloader and while in download mode it shows "0" at warranty line, so as I understand, the warranty is still fine.
The questions are:
1) Can any one explain me what happened? Why there's no support for eSim in all EU located stock roms for my phone, even in the COS one?! What I did wrong?
2) Is there any chance to flash some subpackage or is there any other method that will allow me to use eSim feauture with XEO stock rom?
I can't stand how it pisses me off. Thank you in advance for any help.
Kind regards
