I tried flashing KB5 modem on the AOKP rom for the T-Mobile Vibrant but I cannot seem to bring up anything. Does anyone know if I can input a custom APN that will connect to T-mobile or will I have to give them a call.
Manually input the apn settings.

Also make sure you flashed the ICSKB5 and not the regular normal one.

Anyone know how to get the ATT S3 to accept ATT's Broadband APN? Straight Talk and Net10 were added just fine. Running rooted stock rom. Am I going to have to wait for sim unlock?
Since ICS doesn't let apps restore APNs, where are the APNs stored? I want to make a CWM zip to restore my APNs for me.
I have unlocked my AT&T Galaxy Note by requesting the SIM unlock code from AT&T. I then put in a non-AT&T card (T-Mobile), rebooted the phone and was asked for the network unlock code. I entered the code and it was successful. The T-Mobile SIM card works.
I then went to the APN settings to edit the APN and there was only one, the original one from AT&T (shown as ATT PTA). Strangely, this APN CANNOT be edited OR DELETED. Even when I create a new one and select that new APN, the phone always revert back to the original APN.
My understanding is that once the phone is unlocked, the original APN can be edited OR deleted and I can use another APN (T-mobile, etc.). Can somebody help?
Thanks!
Unlocking the phone does not unlock software areas that att has locked down. Good news is that you can add your own apn in that screen.
On the APN setting screen, press the menu button, then "new apn". Type all of your settings, then hit menu and save. Now you can select your new apn on the APN screen.
You don't have to worry about the pta apn from att. If it's not selected, it's not doing anything.

Thanks for the explanation! As long as I can use the phone in NON-AT&T network, I am happy.
To eliminate that APN you will have to flash a custom rom. You can be stock and custom.

He wants to run on T- mobile, would this be his problem, doesn't he need a different modem flashed like for example.. the Blaze modem to run T-mob?

Up until about a month ago that was correct, but t-mobile is migrating to the same bands as at&t so test the connection first.
Just using the stock LF6 modem and the t-mobile APN and live with that for a day or two to see if you are in an area that has been migrated.
If you never see H+ or 4G icons you will have to flash the Blaze modem.
Just a quick update:
The original APN cannot be edited, so I created a new APN and select that. When I press the "back" button and go back to the list of APN, the phone AUTOMATICALLY selected the original APN, not mine.
I selected that again, press back button and waited for 5 minutes (in case the phone trying to update whatever it needs with the new APN). Went back to the list of APN and the original APN was selected again! (???).
Did you save the APN you created?

I did, that's why I was able to select the radio button from the list. So the list shows 2 APN, BUT as soon as I exit, the default APN was reselected.
In this case, a custom rom is needed for APN changes to stick.
I suggest you look in the super thread (top of the general section)
In the stock roms category you'll see a stock (rooted) version of the rom you need.
You can flash this build which allows APN editing and deletion.
Visually the rom is identical to stock, but sets the system permissions via root access to allow those changes.
Once the modification is complete, you can simply reset your counter and unroot to keep a stock device condition.
The beauty of this device is it's simplicity in root/unroot technique...g
Ranger gets the credit for the rom change advice.....I'm just mentioning it again ...g
Thanks for the information all, really helpful!
I flashed a custom ROM just for testing (CWR backup of course) and indeed I was able to change the APN and it sticks! Definitely have to do with my original stock ICS, even though I rooted it.
You can be mostly stock - - that's what I prefer. But our generous developers take the stock rom and tweak it so we can enjoy modifying our phones and be mostly stock. I'm using the Novena rom.
Hello
I am using i777 modem but this AT&T modem on restarting phone goes to GSM/WCDMA (Auto) mode of network. I think this is because it is written in modem file of its modem. So I want to modify the modem.zip file for setting GSM as default mode.
Can anybody tell how to modify or can give modified file i777 UCKH7 Modem as downloaded from link below

It is not hard coded into the modem. It is a setting.

You could search something like "I777 force 2g", but I think you will find that it has to be coded into the firmware, because AT&T doesn't want you to do that. You can probably set to 2g through the service menu. I don't know which settings, though. I did find the following:
*#197328640# in your dialer will open the service menu
Debug Screen->Phone Control->Network Control->Aquisition Order->GSM->UMTS
In that screen you can set it to aquire gsm before umts
Also there is an option to set preferred network type by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then tap Device information, scroll down and there is a selection box to make ur choice.
Not sure how to make the set choice stick though. It changes, after reboot or if u back out of the Device info, back to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
?? Don't know much about this...may be sim dependant as to what will stick. :/

I am not expert but have ported i9100 JB Neat Rom on my i777 with i777UCKH7 modem and Jeboo Kernel v2.2+. If the network settings were from ROM then it should have worked as i9100 has no such problem. But it is with my i777 so it comes from either modem or Kernel. On i777 option also work with *#2263# along with *#197328640# but problem is same on restart phone goes to default option. In i727 if we change network option via dialer then option is retained even after restart. please see if it can be fixed in i777 by ROM or Modem or Kernel modification.
Thanks.

My (limited) understanding of this issue is that it can be coded into the firmware. Evidently, CyanogenMod at some point in time did have a setting to force 2g on the I777. But this is dependent on the developer of the rom having an interest in doing this specific modification. Now-a-days there are not too many developers actively working on firmware for the I777. Most of them have moved on to newer phones. So if it isn't already there, I doubt you'll get it.
I live in India and use an imported SCH-R970 on Reliance CDMA carrier. Till now I was using stock rom(4.4.2) and everything worked fine. But I recently flashed echoe rom(for i9505). I was able to make calls, but I lost my mobile data. I googled it up and there were a lot of solutions which involved changing APN settings. But I couldn't locate it under settings-more networks-mobile networks(where it is usually located). So I went back to stock and everything was normal. I then came upon apn-conf.xml and these settings differed from the one in echoe rom. So I want to ask can I reflash echoe rom and replace stock apn-conf.xml and get my data back?
PS There is no apn settings even in stock 4.4.2. Please reply ASAP.
So got my phone rooted and ready to accept a custom ROM. Now what ever ROM I flash I get no cellular data. Only when I am on WIFI do I get data. On my status bar it shows my LTE connection to T-Mobile with a ! in it. Am I supposed to flash or do something else when flashing a ROM? I used the latest version of TWRP 3.0.2-0
OK if I revert back to the stock Oxygen OS 2.2.1 ROM it now works fine. What would cause flashing a custom ROM not to have signal?
No data means ur using the wrong cm13 version(i have no data problems on ashwins build.) or maybe your apns just arent configured. Google for your provisers apn configs and set them manually. Also validate that you can see your IMEI on the phone.

You missed the point.

AW OK got what you mean Downloaded Beanstalk CM13 still same problem. Flashes fine then I have no data no signal at all from T-Mobile. Only the stock Oxygen OS ROM works.
Just gave up. Went back to Stock recovery and stock ROM and locked my boot loader. Everything now works as intended. Not sure why all 10 ROM's I tried would flash and load fine but I would have no cell signal strange....
If you need to manually set APN settings go to Settings > SIM cards > SIM 1 settings > APN config.
There click on one APN-setting in the list to open it. Change everything you need, including the name (example: name: Hollandsnieuwe, APN: live.vodafone.com, username: vodafone, password: vodafone, MCC: 204, MNC: 04, APN-type: default, APN-protocol: IPv4, Roaming protocol for APN: IPv4, the rest is blank) then click: Menu > Save. Then go back to the APN list and click the dot right to the entry you just created. Then restart your phone and you should have the new settings active.
By the way: In OOS 2.2.1 you don't have these settings but they are probably already righteous.
I have this problem too but I saw a fix somewhere and cannot find it
Yeah I got it to work finally. It was the APN setting thing. But what is odd is, if I use the T-Mobile APN settings it will not work. If I use MetroPcs (Which T-Mobile owns) then it will work fine. So go figure....

APN is fine. I also have the same APN in other ROMs. I'm also on Telekom.mk (ex T-Mobile Macedonia)
Tmob no.. Roaming +
If I'm on any rom other than OOS I can use data when roaming (99.9% AT&T tower) but have issues with data on T-mobile. However OOS = no roaming data, but no t-mobile data problems. CM 13 and MM roms are useless for a daily driver. I can't recall which MM rom I tried recently but I could not get it to register on t-mobile LTE network even in areas where Tmob was the leading network.
I am getting pretty tired of onyx... I have other network issues with the recent update.

Never ever re-lock your bootloader, it could bug it out so that you can not unlock it again and/or strange things can happen.
Be glad if you are not affected, but if you unlock it again, keep it that way since it's of no disadvantages to have it unlocked.
