Hey everyone!! Been a while since ive rooted and flashed and i had some questions.
Im using my At&t ssg2 with Straight Talk service and was wondering can i still root my phone?? I didnt know if it would affect the apn settings or not. Im still on gingerbread 2.3.6. Just wanting to root so i can check out different roms.
i also want to know this
Rooting should not affect the apn settings. But if you want to be safe, write down the settings, and then you can manually enter them if they are changed.
Ive been using my GS2 on Straight Talk. Im not sure if you need to change the apn. I can receive phone calls without changing anything. However I do have apn settings for ST. Some people have different apn settings but I have what works for me. If there isnt anything in a spot leave it blank when you manually put it in the new APN. Here is what I have. there is a huge thread in here on ST. Search is your friend!! One more thing use Creepys guides to root your phone. All the info you need is there. READ THEM and READ them again so you understand what your doing!!!!

I've searched to the best of my ability and can't find much help. My problem is that when I'm any custom ROM (tried about 5 including CM7, CM9 and RootBox JB) I must manually switch APNs when I get a MMS message. So for example, if I receive a picture message, I have to go into my APN setting and manually select my MMS APN, then go back to my messaging app and hit download. Then once it downloads, I have to go back into my APN setting and switch back to my internet APN. On the stock ROM this was not the case. I have all the correct settings, I'm absolutely sure. I've tried editing the apns-conf.xml file to add my carriers settings. Tried flashing without the sim card in. Can't seem to get it to work. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

I assume you mean combine the two APN settings. I've tried that. All that does is leave me without internet or mms capabilities.
Seriously? what provider do you have? I'm guessing since you're in the USA judging by the american flag in your profile that you're on ATT or straight talk? Telling us what provider you have would help quite a bit..
Edit, I thought help me, help me I'm dying questions belong in the QnA forums?
Sorry, knew I was forgetting something. My carrier is Viaero. I live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so its basically the only option. AT&T doesn't cover our area. And now this isn't an urgent issue, just something that kind of annoying. All I was looking for were some ideas on how to remedy the situation, so I thought general would be more appropriate.
Post both apns please
I've verified these with Viaero and with another SII running stock. also had an unlocked iPhone before which these worked with. Another side note, on custom roms if I put in the "APN TYPE" I get neither internet nor MMS. So I have to leave those blank to get it to work at all.

I rooted and flashed my GF's SGS2 with wanamlite 13.0 ROM and its perfect.. but now, she called me and asked why she cant connect on the internet using mobile data.
No signal indictors like 'E', 'G' or 'H' are showing even she enabled the mobile data and neither changing GSM to CDMA vice versa worked.
She has also tried restarting the phone, searching the network operator and choosing the right one but to no avail. Her sister also has the same network provider but she doesnt have any problems on the mobile data.
Is it possible that it is a Phone defect? I really doubt it since she can do text and call using her SGS2.. Im confused >.<
PS: I've already tried searching this kind of question so please, dont post 'letmegooglethatforyou' links. Thank you.
First thing you do is go to the carriers website & get APN settings, write them down & check the APN settings on the phone. If there are APN settings on the phone but they're different in any way to the ones you got from the carrier's website, change them. If there aren't any on the phone (in settings/mobile networks/access point names), these need to be entered, make sure APN type is set to default.

Thank you for your wonderful advice..
Im so stressed that I even forgot that there is an APN settings needed (I swear that it is automatic in my own S2).
Anyways, I'll call her once again and try to work things out.. I hope she can understand and follow how to check/change the APN.
Will update once done.
Thanks again!
No probs Post again once you've checked/put the correct APN settings in if it's still not working & we'll nut it out further.
Hi everyone, I've read quite a few discussions on here but this is my first post.
I've recently moved to Sweden from the US with my sprint lg g3. Before I moved, sprint told me that my plan covers me to use voice and data for free, but only with a specific carrier. They said that it's already taken care of and I shouldn't need to do anything when I get there.
That was one week ago. I've been in Sweden for a week and every day of that week I've spent around an hour on the phone with sprint trying to get my phone to connect to the data network. I get voice just fine, but, from what I understand, the phone is wanting to connect to a different carrier for data and he doesn't know how to force it to connect to the right one.
So, after some digging, it looks like I might be able to create a new apn and maybe connect to the right data network that way? Going down this path, I can't by default add any apns, so I followed another discussion and installed root tweaker to be able to fix that. My phone is indeed rooted on lollipop, but the tweaker doesn't seem to change anything for the apn screen, I still can't add nor edit them.
So, my two questions are, should I even be messing with apns (and if not, what should I be doing), and if I should mess with apns, how can I edit it/make a new one?
Thanks so much in advance, I'm getting frustrated with the sprint guys so I'm trying to take some initiative myself.

Try flashing (in recovery) my "MegaAPN" file. It should support a HUGE amount of carriers. You may also need to unlock your apn's so you can edit them. You can do that by searching for this: com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.ApnUnlock in shortcut master (lite or pro) and clicking the name of the shortcut then just press the "Launch" button (looks like a little Space Ship). Then just press the little "Unlock APN" button and Reboot. You should now beable to add/edit and remove APN's.
Hope this helps:good:
Hi!
I've tried the shortcut master to unlock my apn, and a dialogue bowstring my apn is unlocked appeared, but after a reboot I still have no options to add or edit an apn.
Luckily I do know the carrier I need to be on, and I've found the apn information for that carrier, I just need to be able to add it in the phone I guess.
Thanks for your help!

Ok i need help. Im not new to rooting and roms however im no where near a pro. I have a sprint note 3 sm900p flashed to boost and activated by them (boost). I have had no data for 2 weeks aside from wifi. I have LITERALLY searched high and low EVERYWHERE including here and nothing has worked to restore it. So basically i rooted and played around with a couple touchwiz roms and then decided to go to temaseks cm 12.1 amd all was well for weeks. Then one day i noticed i didnt get 3g so i messed around with some settings and the best i could get was it to pop up and then disappear but at that point lte still worked so i was ok with that. I ended up flashing back to a stockish touchwiz and my phone kept trying to do the hands free activation that wouldnt work. prl update and profile update wouldnt work. (yes i have read high and low on fixes for those too, but anways no data at all. The crazy part is that my phone on the touchwiz roms shows 3g and 4g lte wherever they are available i just cannot connect to internet or anything else involving data. My wifi works and calling and texting works as well. So i called boost tried to explain to them i did a data reset cause i was having issues ##72786# and it messed my phone up because i didnt know what other reason to give. anyways they were adamant we try it to fix data so i do and then all of a sudden i dont have calls or texts or data so they have me do ##msl# and sure enough my mdn and my msid somehow get switched to some crazy 000000 numbers at the end and they have me reenter my phone number and msid and then phone reboots and calling and texting are fine again but still no data. So we hard reset ##786# and that did nothing but delete everything on the phone which i knew it would except it didnt fix my problem. then they give me a bunch of crap how they arent sure and that they will send me a new sim card (nned it for lte with sprint note 3 on boost) and that should fix my data 3g and 4g. Currently waiting for that card but dont think its going to fix anything. I have absolutely no more ideas on what to do. I have tried everything i can think of and searched a million different ways and cant find a single thread relating to my exact issue. PHone currently can make calls and texts as well as recieve and wifi works. but absolutely no 3g or 4g anymore except phone shows it in the status bar. SO PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP OR HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE PM me or leve a reply or ANYTHING....i just want to fix my data.
Anything at all?
Swoops read my thread...
boost Data Fixed
TW Roms Build Number N900PVPUEOC5
Well Im no Programmer But I got my data Boost mobile data working on my note 3 after i got the run around from boost
and sprint by trying to reset phone add this and add that. FIRST BEFORE YOU START U WILL NEED SOME APPS AND PROGRAMS ON COMPUTER
first switch over your phone number (MDN and MIN) by calling boost or do it over the internet. Then when they are good then we need to switch the phone over by going to setting by dial ##MSL# (Copy MSL number for later) boost rep will give it to u when setting your phone up.
After u can make a call and text your phone is connecting to network just have to get APN working to get data simple as that
1. I reccomend Installing A recovery CWM/TWRP By Odin (See Website) Then do a backup incase something get screwed up or deleted
2. Need MSL So u can edit setting (Call Boost or Hack It)
3. PRL Helper on Playstore (Flashes the Prl file)
4. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer might need SU Acess (see Rooting or Flash rooted Stock Rom by TWRP
5. Su access if not u find out how to root http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3-sprint-sm.html
6. Advance Signal Status is good to make sure your antenna is on the right setting mine was on gsm/CDMA which was wrong.
TW base Rom ( You wont be able to add or change the APN since the APN is not register to sprint APN in the sim.. Mine was locked to page plus phone but was baught as a sprint note 3. Dont know if it hardware related or Rom related but it would not save when changing the mcc and mnc numbers. Mine was locked to 311 and 00 and needed changed to 310 and 120 for sprint for those settings and would not change it would just delete it when trying to save it.
1. First u need to copy contents from carrier-GS4.zip over to the carrier folder from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628452 thanks to him for uploading it.
2. Now when u reboot your notice it say sprint or Boost dont remember which instead of chameleon on service provider And now u can edit APN since the MCC and MNC is correct now.
3. You will have to go to APN folder in ##DATA# click edit and enter MSL.. For some reason u cant modify it in the Rom APN setting (Dont Understand Why) but u can in ##data#.
4. Now u can delete the old Apn setting and add new or correct APN Settings.

If u cant add the APN through ##data# u can try the boost unversal boost fix at http://androidforums.com/threads/bo...al-boost-apn-fix-for-d2lte-builds-mod.840501/ through twrp. Then go back in ##DATA# to see if u can change the APN .
6. go to MMSC in ##DATA# and see if it correct say http://mm.myboostmobile and all that is correct.
7. Now check for currect prl since it can make your 4g not work if not current like mine was a old apn.
8. Download a current .prl file searching on here or internet u can find them. While searching I could find boost .prl 33030, Current is 33041 (2015), Sprint Prl is 55026 seems to work fine.. But put the file on the sd card and open prl helper app u downloaded and flash the prl (Your Phone Should Restart)
9. 4g should be working now mms text working
sprint activation does not work so u can ether disable it
10.Now u should make a TWRP backup.
TW ROMS Build Number N900PVPUEOH1 I dont know if this goes with all roms with this build number but I recently upgraded by Samsung Kies 3 to experiment with and did factory reset and found that APN seting are able to be change and can save it.
On ASOP Roms You cant update your PRL. So it not a bad idea to have a TW backup so u can update the prl time to time. But enough about that on ASOP roms there isnt much prob to modifing the APN to work it just some roms dont have the listing for the APN since sometimes its hidden. If u cant edit normally you can use Xshortcut From PlayStore or similar app. If that doesnt work you can also use boost unversal boost fix from above in TWRP to see if it worked. I used it before which added the necessary APN but if the radio messes up by not connecting automatically. You can erase the data on cell broadcast in the manage apps and it should fix any connection prob. I would recommend making a backup before flashing any thing from TWRP since u cant redo if it messes up. Thats about it so if it didnt work u can try other ways people posted on here. Just reboot and see if it stays connected.
I hope this helped anybody that been through hell trying to go through sprint and boost for help.
Thank you so much bro that did the trick have literally tried everything and was only able to get 4g no 3g. I knew about that fix but I didn't know it would work for the note 3 and it literally fixed everything thank you so much bro.
im glad it worked for u
I tryed this and got stuck on sprint logo? What did I do wrong?
luiseno
sorry for the late response but did u figure out the prob with your phione
can you show me the link that you downloaded and flashed? and what version note 3 do you have>
SIM Card
I am waiting for the SIM Card from Boost.
They told me that I should be able to get 3G without the SIM Card.
I was able to write the APNs for boost using different ROMs but I can't get 3G.
Maybe I do need the SIM Card to get both 3G and 4G LTE?
Ya they did that same thing to me because on their end ( which I'm sure they told you) your phone is receiving data and fully working according to their system data even though obviously it isn't just like mine wasn't. While I was waiting for the new sim card I did receive 3g and when the sim card came once i put it in and
They helped me walk through it I was right back at square one which is probably where you will end up even though I hope not for your sake. Either way do exactly what maximum overdrive ( I believe it was him) says in his post above. I only had to flash the boost mobile fix ( s3 thread I think but search will get you to it) via twrp to get LTE back but my phone wouldnt get 3g at that point. I was on temaseks rom. The zip file says it only works for touchwiz but I had other results as stated. My network went from unknown or chameleon back to boost. I then flashed the s6 port by sacs and played with the apns ( you can find info above) and manually do it. I did it through the data menu (##3282#) I believe that's what it is....I then got 3g and LTE then I flashed temaseks ROM again and only had LTE again. Then I flashed dirty unicorns and after toggling airplane mode a few times got the apns visible and edited in the boost apns and deleted the others rebooted and bang profit.... I have both 3g and 4g again... NO THANKS TO BOOST OR SPRINT..... I LOVE XDA!!

Hello all.. I have been scouring everywhere for a fix to my problem and I think this is it.. Quick run down of my situation..
I have a S900P (original owner) Sprint's coverage at my old house was **** so I bought out my contract and just put the phone in storage. FF to now. I get amazing 4G LTE at my new location. So I reactivate my note 3 with Boost. Everything is fine till I start playing round with flashing custom rom's, at which point I was unable to get ANY data service on ANY custom ROM. (deodexed stock ROM's worked fine). I've lost track of how many modem/baseband/software combos I have gone through but here's where I'm at now..
I am using the original Sprint SIM card which came with the phone.
I'm pretty sure at this point all I need to do is get a new SIM from Boost, and proceed from there using my current build. Please let me know if I'm on the right track, WAY off, or What.
As always THANKS XDA for your godliness!!
A few points of clarification...
My phone has not given me a boost splash in quite a while, only Sprint.
I had another strange issue 2 days ago while, after another failed custom ROM flash, upon unrooting and goig back to 100% stock OK2. I wasnt able to use their DATA/Voice services (no text or phone calls) However the 4gLTE never stopped working.

Hello,
I recently got my Palm Phone PVG100 from the US, i'm in the UK (and i absolutely love it!)
I have managed to root it and de-bloat it of Verizon stuff (despite not being overly techie - thanks for the fantastic “how to” guides).
There is 1 problem - i can’t change the APN, which means I can only get 2g / ‘E’ speed with my mobile data, though my SIM can do 3g and 4g. When i go into the APN settings, I can click on the ’+’ to add new APN, but then it’s all greyed out so I can’t actually add anything.
I’m in the UK, on an MNVO of Vodafone in case that makes a difference. Interestingly, when i tried a SIM from a different operator, the phone connected to 3G.
Is there any way to update the APN? Ideally, not too technical...
Thanks
Sam
Bump!
I have the same problem. If you Google "Android 8.1 edit APN" you'll find lots of solutions, but none of them worked for me even with root access.
Did you guys ever figure this out? I have the same problem. I'm trying to get a Tello SIM to work with an unlocked (formerly Verizon) Palm PVG100, but the APN settings are all greyed out. I can call and text, but zero data. If you found a solution to this, please post. Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I found the solution. Did the rooting that they explain on this site, and I was then going to pull the APN conf file off the Palm with abd and then edit that, adding Tello, and then put it back, but .... the rooting had already freed up the APN interface (no longer greyed out), so I could just enter my APN info. Thanks much to the developer.

can you describe what you did in a little more detail? i have a pvg100 and mint mobile. its got 2 t-mobile apn with no data, i got it rooted with magisk but im confused what to do now iv tried 3 different ways that require root one changing the apn file with sqlite, hasnt worked for me even though i successfully replaced the file. i put the mint apn in there and took the t mobile out but it just reappears if im on wifi and spazzes if im not. i also downloaded a file this guy on here had thats supposed to fix apn and get rid of verizon logo but when i enter it in the terminal it says its not recognized as an internal external command or operable program or batch file. i havent figured something out about the path for adb or really how to use it yet smdh
Jeez, I did this so long ago, I don't remember any of the details. Not much of a tech guy, so I did a lot of googling. I did eventually get things going though through trial and error, and have been using the Palm for a couple of years on the Tello system (which I like a lot, by the way). Anyway, if you got it rooted with Magisk, then I think that was the major thing I had to do, because, as I wrote above, I didn't have to jump through the hoops I thought I'd have to to get the APN. Before rooting, I couldn't modify the APNs, but after rooting, I just went to Setup-> Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> Advanced -> Access Point Names -> the "+" sign and I created a new one called "Tello", with values Name:Tello / APN:wholesale / MMSC: http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc / MCC:310 / MNC:240 / APN type: default,supl,mms / APN protocol:IPv4 / APN roaming protocol:IPv4 / APN enabled/disable: APN enabled.
I think I got those values through googling. Anyway, that got it up and going for phone, text, and data. Sorry I don't remember much else of what I changed, but I think it was mostly just rooting it and then finding the right values for the APN settings.
Good luck.
