Hi there. I have recently purchased a U12+ from a friend and the phone has absolutely no network connection. It scans for Wi-Fi and nothing comes up. When I put my sim card in it detects the card and all info but I cannot send messages, make calls or access my data? Any help would be great as I am going crazy trying to figure out

Flash the latest RUU via sd card. That should restore the phone to working condition. Your friend may have rooted the phone or run some custom software and screwed something up. My phone started acting really weird after I rooted it and I may have even had the same issue as you.
still remain

Just to be clear, you flashed a RUU via sd card, received no errors, and after the phone rebooted and started the setup process the list of wireless carriers and wireless networks was empty?
Yes.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure I had the same problem a week or two ago (when I first got the phone) and I wiped everything via temp TWRP prior to RUU'ing and the phone was back to normal.

Alright, lately after I unlock my phone it tells me that my sim card is not found. It bugs me a lot because I have to shut the phone down and take the card out and back in. No, I didnt drop it and it isnt rooted. Is it my sim card or the phone? And if it keeps doing this, should I send it into ATT?
if you have some compressed air i'd blow it in the sim card slot, but thats probably not the problem i would take it to AT&T and try to get a new sim card or have them look at your phone
Is the sd/sim cover flush?

Is it the SD card that came with the phone, or one you bought separately?

I had to go get a new SIM card today because the original was not connecting. It initially didn't enable a network signal, so the gal rebooted my phone....and of course saw my custom boot animation and status icons and what not...I don't think she had seen a rooted phone before...said something about "you've really bling'd this thing out haven't you? This is the most customized phone I have ever seen"... [sheepish grin]
Pull out the batery and turn on with the sim card inside.

Try the battery pull mentioned above. If it keeps happening then try getting a new sim from att. If the issue persist then call att they will more then likely replace the phone.

Oops. I thought he said SD card. No wonder no one answered that question of mine. Lol
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.

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?

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.

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 ???
I installed custom 4.3 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895&highlight=no+data and all was working really great for a week. Then today for some reason I got no network - can't call, no mobile data.
On local wifi everything works well. Reboots, power downs did not help.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips are greatly appreciated!

I feel like a total idiot - I opened the back and noticed that my sim card got ejected. For some reason I ignored the 'Insert SIM card' message because I took out the MicroSD card the day before and somehow my brain thought the phone was complaining about SDCard. SIM must have been ejected accidentally when I took out battery...
Thank you for guiding me to the correct path!

When I saw your original post I thought I'd finally been able to figure out why my GS3 says "no network" at times. It took me a whole hour to get it to connect to my network this morning! I gave the phone a reboot and took out the sim card a few times. Before upgrading my software I never experienced this problem. Please let me know if this problem persists on your end.
I've been using my 3G mobile connection for quite a while now.
Well, WAS using, someday, it suddenly stopped working. I thought it was because I exceeded my 250mb limit but, unfortunately, it wasn't that.
It usually showed up 'H' and had a fairly nice download speed, but now it only shows E and has a tremendously bad download speed.
So, after figuring out it wasn't my plan having its limit exceeded, I decided to try somethings to fix it. At the time I was using the most recent CM11 nightly.
I did a wipe and installed the latest snapshot. Didn't work.
I tried configuring the APN, exactly like my parent's Moto G, and had no luck.
And then now, as a last resort, did a COMPLETE wipe(including internal storage), and flashed the latest Android L ROM available.
Nothing worked, at all, actually.
I've also tried inserting my SIM card to my mother's Lumia 720. It worked as it should. Showed up 'H'. Her functioning SIM card also didn't work on my cellphone.
I'm getting desperate.
I live in Brazil, and my mobile operator is "Oi"
call your operator. you are getting edge, "E". thats very slow data speeds! also, look in tbe main settings, mobile networks. what is it set for.. lte, 3G, or 2G?

try this.. dial *#*#4636#*#*, then press phone info, then change the lte/gsm to wcdma preferred. this will prefer 3G(not lte). btw, have you tried calling your operator? it can just be how they have you set up in their system now.

I did call my operator, but they told me to try the SIM card on another phone to see if it works and it worked. They didn't have anything to do.
Also, I've tried configuring that, still shows E. If I choose "Only WCDMA", my network goes unavailable.

I bought it from the internet. I don't think I can get an exchange.
UPDATE:
I've figured out the problem. It's the signal. When the H signal isn't strong enough, it goes to E. I was on another place on my city today and there H was working, and exactly when I got back, the signal started being EDGE.
Now, I've tried flashing another radio. I just downloaded the ZIP and flashed. Note that I am on Android L. It still has the same problem. Now I ask, how may I fix this?
