I bought my hd3 in china .it was unlocked, originally sold to hongkong.
after I went back to the U.S. I kept using my chinese sim card, and everything worked fine. when 7720 released ( it was a long time ago) , I swiped my cell phone, and from then on, my hd3 always tells me that 'no network found'. I tried to search network manually, and I see att and tmobile, but cannot register. now the signal icon has an empty set symbol,...and I don't know what's wrong???
p.s. my att sim card works well on my hd3...I've tried different roms, none of them helped.
the problem is solved, I inserted my chinese sim card into an android phone and it successfully registered in att, and then when i inserted it back onto my hd3, i got the signal LOL.. ..i've no idea why this happened, wish this may help to someone got the same prob.
Have your tried HTC Connection Setup?

yes,i've tried many times
it can detect the right carrier, but doesn't really help
Sounds like you may have to do a hard reset and then reinstall Setup Connection. During the configuration setup after the hard reset you can tell it what region/country you are in now; same for Setup Connection.

thanks for your advice, i just don't understand why should i hard reset the phone. as i tried many roms, each time i swiped in a new rom, the rom was brandly new, like a factory reset, and each time connection setup doesn't work.
i'll take your advice and see if this works out.
btw, i can't see your pic, it's too small. is it something relate to hard reset or ?
no, it doesn't work. T0T
You said your ATT sim works fine... why use the chinese one then? Also i think ATT will give you a new sim if you are under contract with them. You are paying for service aren't u?

I bought a phone for my boyfriend as a replacement for the droid of his that broke. I got it on amazon, it works fine but Sprint is unable to activate it. I've been through tech support, CS, and have even taken it to a Sprint store. All the same thing, return it. The ESN is clear, I think it might be a MIED issue but when I was at the store she said it checked out fine. Anything I can do? I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing so it's not like I haven't been into the guts of a phone before. Any help would be great.
Thanks! :]
Did they explain why it was it cannot be activated ?

No, they just said it kept failing even after further questions from me, it is kind of active but no calls can be made. In the phone information it has the right number for it and everything. The selller I got it from said it's fine to return it but I feel there's nothing wrong with the phone itself.
Kind of Active ? Did they reset Data ? Did you try updating PRL / Profile.
There's a good chance the phone has been programmed to another carrier. You will need to somehow flash a factory image to the phone. I've never had an HTC device I've only done this on Motorola devices so I'm not sure how you would do it. I'm sure you could find some instructions on Google.

Hello guys,
After loosing my HTC ONE X on the street a week ago, I bought from some guy an almost brand new GALAXY S3 without knowing it is a VERIZON version.
I live in Israel so i had no idea what is the meaning of buying a device that will work only on Verizon network, we only have GSM here.
The guy i bought it from also had no idea what it means as his father bought it on the US and brought it here wishing to sell it as he had no use in it.
Without realizing the mistake I've made, I then made another one, Taking out the VERIZON SIM CARD and giving it back to the owner!
I thought to myself... well... that's his SIM CARD, not gonna be using that one...
Well, i got home to find out i'm in trouble with this deal I've made, i searched for a way to unlock it for GSM networks and i saw that here in XDA someone made it possible.
As i started working on it i had to download from Google play an application, when i was asked to pay for it i saw it's running on the old owners google account, so i decided i don't wanna pay with my credit while he might get the receipt for it and i figured i should do a Factory Data Reset for the phone and start from point zero the whole process.
Sadly i had no idea i'm doing another big mistake because when the phone finished the reset it asked for a VERIZON SIM CARD in order to run, well you know where that SIM Card is - back at the previous owner and i'm not even sure i will be able to track him down again.
I wish to get this device working without any traces of Verizon, maybe beside the name on the back panel of the device.
Now that the device won't even run without the SIM, what should i do ?
Thanks in advance,
Ohad.

In setup when you are on language screen press left corner/right corner/left corner/right corner/volume up. Should boot to home screen.

Thanks but i was able to track down the previous owner and get the verizon sim card.
I found away to use it on GSM but still im very disappointed because im not sure there´s a real way to remove any trace for the verizon stuff installed here and there are few errors like it is connected to the provider but it says no verizon sim card connected.
and im not so sure all the device's frequencies are "open" for my provider.
I was wondering if there's any option to burn an international galaxy version to the device and it will bypass all of these issues.

not unless you want paperwieght for a device.
Why don't you just flash CM10 or similar to get rid of all the VZW stuff.... that's what I did.

Not sure how to do so, but either way i'm not sure i will get the device working completely normally with my local SIM card on a gsm network, without bugs, without asking me to put a verizon sim card all the time, without having any option to update the device...
I dunno, i thought i could easily get this Galaxy version to become unlocked completely and get it running like all the other guys around...
Unless anybody here have a good recommendation about what should i do to overcome the verizon and networks issues, maybe i should just sell this guy on ebay and get a normal version...
Do you think this would be a smart move to do ?
Beemer - after you flash the CM10, do you still need to unlock the device and do you still get issues running on other than Verizon providers or do you enjoy a device that is similar to the worldwide versions ?
Thanks,
Ohad.
If you flash an international ROM on a Verizon S3, your phone will no longer power on or do anything useful. That's why it will become a paperweight. Flashing an international ROM on your Verizon S3 is one of the easiest ways to make it useless.
International=quad-core us=s4 processor, very different guts.I'd listen to the ppl on this forum, unless you want to end up with a paper weight.

alright then... i won´t go for it.
but what about the other issues ? what do you guys recommend to do with the device ?
I'm thinking "get rid of it or get it working smoothly", the question is, is it possible to have it running "just like the unlocked international version" ?

Know it works on Touchwiz roms. It may not be in AOSP based roms.
Well, i flashed CM10 successfully, i was able to receive and send SMS before with the Stock ROM, and also to make/receive phone calls but i had sim card issues and errors and also some unwanted Verizon apps and stuff.
After updating the device to the latest Verizon version, i couldn't make phone calls, just receive and i could send and receive SMS.
Now that device runs much faster on the CM10 and i can make/receive phone calls but i can't send SMS.
*UPDATE: I have updated to the latest CM10 version, now i can't connect to the provider at all... no internet/phone/sms at all.
SOS
Ok, Im going to try a different tactic, i saw some people tried flashing At&t Roms on their verizon devices and they done it with success.
So far i tried doing it twice, one time with CM10 ROM for at&t, the 2nd time with stock at&t ROM.
I've tried doing it through CWM.
Both times i got an error while installing... it just didn't move on.
Luckly i had the CM10 for the verizon Zip file over there aswell so i installed that ROM again just to get the device running.
Any ideas how to flash the AT&T ROM on the Verizon Device ???
Hey, my girlfriend got a LG optimus Hub phone, like 3 months ago. It was all working fine until like a week before. Once in a while there comes this problem that she can't receive any sms, but she can still send me an sms. When she takes out the sim card and puts it into another phone, all the sms i've sent she receives then. And then when puts the sim back in her phone, she can receive the sms. And then it works fine for like a day, and then the problem starts all over.. What could it be? How to fix it?
Oh, and btw, it's the stock ROM and the phone has only been rooted, nothing else.
Anyone? :S
Has noone really had this problem before? :/

You might just want to try and update your towers.

She's on Tele 2, that's the most popular carrier in Latvia.
Btw, what's towers update? 0.o
In the states you are able to type in a code (usually the same number used for activation) and it will just reconfigure to the cell towers in your area.

Oh no, that's not the case here. We don't really need an activation code here, too. So that's something different.. :/ It happened today, like 2 hours ago, again. We had to put the sim card in another phone and after like 20 mins, we got all the SMS. Then when put the sim back in the LG, it works again. But this happens like everyday. :/ The incoming messages just get stuck, but she can still send them. :/
On some sms/mms stock apps there are settings that if checked can block all outgoing and or incoming sms and mms messages. Check the settings of the app itself and if all else fails there are some really good free 3rd party messaging apps available as a replacement.

Have you applied any updates recently? A buddy of mine installed a carrier update and it made his phone go all wonky. I would suggest backing up her data and doing a factory reset. Factory resets usually always fix software issues like what you're experiencing... Also if you do a backup, start from scratch don't restore any data from the backup as you don't know what is triggering the issue....
It's not the messaging apps fault, that's for sure. Checked that one like tons of times, and tried out other apps, the problem always shows up.
Well I guess that I'll just have to do a factory reset. :/ But could it maybe fix it, by installing another ROM? Like Optimus HUB has an official support for CM7.

Anyone got some new ideas what could cause this? :/
The airplane mode toggling doesn't help. :/
I've heard somewhere about something that SIM cards can get old and then this thing happens when they sometimes get stuck and you can't receive sms.
So yeah, my girlfriends SIM is like 5 years old, could that really be the problem?
So, i told my GF to go and ask for a new SIMcard, and that fixed the problem. Basically it was just too old SIM. Im just saying if anyone gets the same problem.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but after I updated to the latest OTA update (1.25.617.4) I can no longer access call forwarding settings nor call waiting settings. It gives me error saying 'Network Error or sim card error' when trying to view either. I thought it was an issue with my sim cause I just used the one from my HTC 10 so went to AT&T and got a new one only to have same issue. Did a factory reset and same issue. After that I figured it could have possibly been the update, so I used the ROM exe from HTC to get back to 1.21.617.3 and can access those settings again. It was nice to get VoLTE, but I don't want to lose some settings access to get that.
If anybody has had the same issue, have you found a fix other then going back to 1.21.617.3 or staying on 1.25.617.4 and not being able to access call forwarding and call waiting?
Thanks
Interesting. Mine is completely normal with the same SIM card from my HTC 10 as well. Have you tried wiping the cache partition? That actually helped me get VoLTE on my HTC 10.
Here's a link how to do it in case you don't know...

I know, but it's just instructions (from T-Mobile) on how to do it on your HTC 10.
No issues here, on t-mobile and used same sim as HTC 10. I know it doesn't resolve your issue, but maybe there is an issue with the update and AT&T. See if anyone else on AT&T has same issue.
I'm on Verizon and I get the following when I try to go to either Call forwarding or Additional Settings. It never gets any further.
Have not tried going to these on the previous OTAs.

I don't know if I mentioned it before but I'm on AT&T, and everything is normal.
I'm on AT&T, U12+ on 1.25 firmware (+ Viper 1.01), SIM card is from HTC 10 (actually even further back than that, same SIM card since 2014 or 2015).
No issues accessing call forwarding / call waiting settings. All of those features are working for me (forwarding to YouMail, waiting definitely works, so does conference/merging calling) and also now VoLTE.
You mentioned it didn't work on 1.25 even after factory resetting. Were you modded in any way? So you RUU'ed back to 1.21 and it works. Have you tried OTA'ing back to 1.25 and seeing if it now works? I'm just trying to think of anything. Sorry dude, that stinks. I'm on 1.25 and heavily modified and it all works...
I get the same error message as well. But im on T-mobile. Really doesn't matter to me personally as i don't use settings in there.
But you're not the only one that gets the error.

Hadn't done anything to phone at the time, was completely stock, nothing done at all as of yet. Only thing i have done now after going back to 1.21 is unlock the bootloader and so far that's all. Going to try taking the OTA to 1.25 again and see if it wasn't just some fluke of nature.
Will update afterwards.
Edit: went back to 1.25, getting same error and can't access call forwarding or call waiting settings.

I'm still on the original firmware (no rush to update as of yet) and I get the same situation when accessing those settings.
1.25 RUU is available. I'm on T-Mobile with an Unlocked boot loader and custom kernel however everything works on this end.
I have the 1.25 update and I'm on ATT, and I apparently have the issue as well. No bother, though, since I don't use call forwarding.
And, this is the sim card from my 10.
I am on AT&T and my firmware 1.25.617.4 and everything working fine here
I realize this thread is a a little old but I am having the same issue. I am on AT&T. The only tweaks I have made is to unlock the bootloader and disabled tethering guard. The problem existed on 1.25.617.4 and persists on 1.30.617.2. I thought the problem was a provisioning issue with AT&T. After multiple calls with them and a couple with HTC, I found this thread. Of course I should have stopped here first. I actually need call forwarding and calling AT&T to have them manually provision it every time I need it just won't cut it. Has anyone been able to figure this out?
