Has anyone else spent a lot of time fiddling with getting the Verizon up and running on at&t or T-Mobile in the states? Has anyone else gotten LTE working through the hidden menus while maintaining the ability to set APNs? (I got the LTE allegedly turned on with GSM but was then unable to change or use APN). I have also had some issues getting the stock messaging app to correctly use the proper MMSC for MMS -- currently workaround using Go SMS Pro and its manual settings. Another issue I have is incoming caller ID with my at&t Sim comes in the format +7075551212 which results in an invalid callback.
Has anybody successfully resolved these issues? I'm on rooted stock ME7 and would assume this is a safe assumption for this thread.
With an unlocked bootloader I would think tmo WiFi calling would be possible by flashing or porting a tmo ROM. Does anybody have a WiFi calling workaround?

I have been using my i545 with a T-Mobile sim in the Seattle area for 2 weeks now. I was using the hyperdrive 9.1 ROM and a couple days ago switched to the Eclypse ROM. Both required adding the APN and neither giving LTE. There is another thread where a gentleman is attempting to shoehorn in a different radio but so far has only succeeded in bricking his phone, but I am holding out hope.
I have noticed that with hyperdrive the icons showed 3g 4g and HSPCA+ but on eclipse I only get the 3g icon for hspca+ and no icon for 4g or 3g on eclipse, which doesn't really bother me much but something I have noticed.
I have had zero mms sms issues i keep hearing about. I use the 4.2 AOSP messaging apk. I should note that my wife has a note 2 from verizon also running a tmobile sim and she had issues until i added the mms proxy info in the apn. Now she can send fine also. (i also had to delete the setup.apk to get rid of the sim notification on her pgone but not mine.)
One thing I am having an issue with is when I cycle the phone on and off. When it turns back on I get a notification that all calls are being forwarded to a 1800 number but when I click the notification it thinks for a bit then disables all 3 settings and the phone works fine.
I hope someone smarter than myself can figure this out. Our radios are supposedly able to pick up and frequency, so in theory it is possible. I tried to flash a 9500 ROM in hopes the radio settings would work, but was rewarded with a bricked phone and joy of an oden back up.
I am having some issues making the switch and needed some help.
I purchased my Galaxy S2 from AT&T awhile back, rooted and installed task650's AOKP rom after I had issues with the ICS update, and have been running the latest build happily ever since with no problems. After my contract was up I got an unlock code from AT&T, purchased a sim from AIO and installed it. The phone booted up and never asked for the unlock code. I am able to make and receive calls and texts, but mobile data doesn't work. WiFi works just fine. I installed and ran GalaxSimUnlock and Galaxy S Unlock. Both programs indicated my phone was unlocked.
Is this an issue with AIO? The signal bars say AT&T on the phone, but I just assumed since AT&T owns AIO this was normal. Do I need to install a different rom and try to unlock again? I am going to try and track down a sim from a different carrier and see if that works. I have tried dialing *#7465625# to check the unlock status, but it returns the error "connection problem or invalid mmi code".
I have searched for answers, but I am clueless. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Sounds like your APN settings are not configured correctly with your new sim. Go into your APN settings and let us know what is set.

Here are screenshots of the only settings I could find.
I went on aio's site and found how to manually enter APN settings.
Followed the directions and all seems to be working now! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Hang on to that unlock code. When I moved from AT&T to Net10, my phone didn't ask me for an unlock code either. Net10 and AIO both use AT&T networks. But when I went to Canada and bought a local SIM there, it asked me for the code. Luckily, I had saved it.
I sim unlocked my htc m8 and am now using a tmobile sim card. 4G network, calls, sms everything works just fine. However, i am not able to send/receive mms. I called t-mobile for help, and they told me to change my apn setting, which i did. And that only fixed my problem with 4g data(i initially had problem with both 4g data and mms) No matter what i try for apn setting, MMS won't send.
My current apn setting is: apn:fast.t-mobile.com
mmsc: mms,msg,eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mms protocal: wap2.0
mcc:310
ncm:260
apn type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms
everything else is not set. I really don't understand why would mms not work if both 4g data and individual sms works.
Anyone have an idea?
Did you figure out how to fix the mms yet?

I have had the same issue. 4gLTE works just fine. I have ATT visual voicemail working. I just cant seem to get over the MMS issue.
I switched the hangouts today and that works just fine for sending and recieving MMS. What's weird is it also records what is being sent and recived into my HTC Messages app as well. However, when I disable hangouts and try to send MMS direct from HTC messages, no luck?

For those that might not have figured it out yet: Backup your current telephony.db file and Replace it.. Unzip and Copy the file attached to: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with ES File Manager (Any Root Browser Should Work) then Reboot and wait till you get Data, make sure you can browse the interweb and test sending a photo to yourself!
This was achieved on my Stock Rooted AT&T Unlocked HTC M8 on T-Mobile!

Try installing SQLite Editor, Navigate and find that same file in the directory I lead you to in my first post, click on the file, there you should see a bunch of APNs/Setting.. Delete them All! They might have to be deleted one by one.. Go back into your APN Settings on your phone and add the T-Mobile APNs and you should be good to go after a reboot! I don't have the M8 anymore but, I'll try helping as much as possible!
I have Tmobile service also, does LTE work on the ATT M8 with tmobile sim?
Does it have all the bands to run without any problems?

Are you rooted? Because you need to be to view or modify those files.
Also, in ES File Manager settings, you need to toggle "Root Explorer" to ON. Although, even with it OFF I believe you should still be able to view the files (just can't modify them). So I think your main problem is no root.
Well, I finally fixed my problem with not being able to send or receive MMS.
I have a AT&T M8 that recently switched over to T-Mobile. I decided to root, s-off, and changed over the developer edition ROM. I was even able to get OTA update after it was done.
I am ecstatic and exhausted after the process but seeing that I was able to get ride of that annoy AT&T boot up music was all worth it. :good::victory:
Now my follow up question is this. I now have a rooted phone with S-off. Should I worry more about security in the future? I typically only download from the Play store but I believe that there are a lot of junk out there as well. Should I lock my bootloader since I won't be doing anything like this the future?
All feedbacks are appreciated.

Extremely Curious to know how you solved the problem!
Hi,
I have an unlocked ATT M8 as you do. I'm in canada trying to get the darn mms working on the rogers canada network. No luck. Ive pondered de branding my phone and loading a WWE version on the cell, but I dont entirely know what I'm doing with that. Would you mind providing some direction, even if pointing me to relevant online posts that you used to learn how to do it correctly?
Appreciate any support.
Cole
PS. CONGRATS on getting mms running!

That person stated how they solved it. He flashed the Dev Ed ROM, which I believe natively supports both the AT&T and T-Mobile network. But this won't help you (Rogers).
Did you try the proper Rogers APN and still having MMS issues?

Thanks for the response. I have tried all the rogers apn settings, had a friend with an actual rogers m8 screen shot the settings with no success. Attempted adding mms specific apn settings as recommended by tier 2 rogers support. Again, no luck.
At this point I believe my only options are to try CM or see if there is a ruu toolkit that will work for rogers. To be honest, aside from one click root, im out of my depth.

I'd still keep trying with the APNs. Make sure with the carrier which APN is associated with your account, as there may be several. AT&T for instance has some 3 or 4 different APNs.
Rogers doesn't have any RUUs for this phone, as far as I am aware I don't see how CM will help, unless the ROM specifically supports Rogers and will have the proper Rogers APN pre-configured (or other things like build.prop). You may have better luck trying to find the stock Rogers ROM, or have another member here upload it for you.
Hey everyone. I just bought an unlocked, unused (new) galaxy s4 I545 (Verizon) and it wont send out text msgs with my T-mobile sim card. I do receive (inbound) text; but no outbound text msgs. Calls and web surfing work fine.
I'm aware that this is very common problem when trying to go from Verizon to Tmobile with galaxy S4 phones, but i have not been able to find a straightforward solution to this exact issue. Has anyone been able to solve this? I did find this one thread that addressed this problem, but it's quite confusing --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/help/noob-s-stuck-oc1-lollipop-t3116732

I tried changing all the APN settings. These are the same ones T-mobile had me switch. There is another post where the user discovered his SMS/MMS works when on 3g, but not 4g. The workaround was to Root and then change a setting to use only 3G. My problem is that I cannot get Kingroot or any other app to root my phone. They all fail.

What build are you running?
F1
I was able to root my I545 yesterday after months in limbo........ I used Kingroot (not Kingoroot). I tried it 7 times from the phone, and it failed.... then as recommended by many users, I scrolled to the bottom of the kingroot page on phone (after root failed). It said I should use the desktop to root it. Soooooo I set Google translate to "English" and loaded KR (Kingroot) on my desktop.... It WOULD NOT open Kingroot. So (on my desktop) I opened KR WITHOUT english translation. and it was running (on my desktop). Once it was opened, everything was in Chinese (of course). BUT.... it has screenshots that walk you through it (although in Chinese). I attempted to root the phone (by using screenshots only, since I do not know Chinese), and it rooted it first time My advice, use Kingroot as described using your DESKTOP computer and cable. That should do it
NOW my problem, is I have to flash my VZW S4 (OC1 lollipop), to a t-mobile rom...... so I can have wifi calling with my dedicated number Of topic:..... if anyone can do some Q&A with me on that topic I would be appreciate it GREATLY.
Hope that helps ya
---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------
BTW.... I have the same issue with my text messages (no outbound sms) when I am on 4G. There is a write up on the forums on how to possibly remedy that, but I get hit with.... "MD5 has to many hashes" and I cant go any further... Im still trying to figure out what the hell MD5 is.
ATTENTION to MODS, and OP's:
I am seeing more and more people (like me) whom are coming to XDA because they have a Verizon S4 (whether its kit kat, or Lollipop), and they are using a T mobile sim. I have made an assimilation though.... These people that are coming to XDA have little, to NO root, rom, kernel, experience what so ever (just like me as well). IWe are looking for a fix (I myself want to flash my phone to a T-mobile rom, activate wifi calling, and be able to send/recieve sms continually). Is there anything that anyone could write to address JUST 2 things......... (1 how to get a Verizon S4 with kit kat, and with lollipop to have a t-mobile rom, 2) If somone elects to leave the phone a Verizon phone, a step by step (tailored for noobs like me and many many others) process for fixing the sms issues from having a T-mobile sim... The write up for the second request thats out there is okay, BUT the common problem is a "MD5" issue when you try to download hiddenmenu.apk. Without being able to download the "hiddenmenu" to our phone, we can't even get to step 2 of the "fixing sms issues"...
Please OP's, and mods........ remember in this tense world we live in, remember one thing......... "NOOB LIVES MATTER!"...... C'mon noobs, say it with me! :good:
I don't think the ROM matters. As long as it's a Verizon variant of the phone you won't be able to flash T-Mobile ROM's. This issue is most likely an APN setting issue. Did you ever try flashing the stock OC1 build for the VZW GS4?
I have the OTA lollipop update.... it came in two parts. The apn settings are set per tmobile . I can send sms however only when it switches to 3g. The problem is, on lollipop, you cant toggle between 4g and 3g like kit kat would allow. So its hit and miss (much more miss than hit...lol). From the sounds of it, the radio mhz are different between vzw and tmobile regarding 4g. The other dilemma i have is that i live in the mountains of oregon so i am 3 miles outside the network.... therefore i need wifi calling. I have a google voice number, but i need my assigned phone number for work purposes.
If what you say is true regarding a rom specific for vzw, i guess i need a vzw based custom rom, that will allow me wifi calling, and also fix my sms 4g issue...
---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------
Speaking of the 3g and 4g thing...... since i have rooted my phone (via kingroot), and installed supersu, am i able to turn off 4g? And if so, how do i do that?
No, you need a T-Mobile ROM that has wifi calling enabled. But like I said this is probably more an APN setting issue than any.
Here
This ^^^ is a link to the manual if you think you can find something useful in there. I've used like 20 apps that all claim they can Toggle LTE data but I've yet to find one the doesn't just bring me right back to the settings of the phone. I've heard rumors about an app that's $1 on the play store that can do it for the GS4 but I can't confirm that. It seems as though you need some special settings provided by the service provider in the ROM that allows for such changes. I might recommend looking into whether you can flash a T-Mobile ROM to the VZW variant.
http://images10.newegg.com/UploadFi...052213_F4_Rev_FINAL_Rev1_Web1403840347272.pdf
Thanks for the link for the manual. I just checked the APN settings, and they are where they need to be. There are only two different settings/entries that i have found for mmsc, and both leave me with this problem. I have researched, and can find a fix for it if i had jelly bean, or kit kat..... but i have lollipop
I am searching to see if this vzw phone will take a tmobile rom (or a variant). If it will, than i might be in business. Does anybody know if i can roll this back to kit kat, or jellybean since i am now rooted?
Unfortunately once the GS4 is on the 5.0 build the phone's bootloader does not support downgrading-I've tried. I, like you, have a the lollipop build (OC1) on my S4 and I really wish I had not taking that update. Lost story short it was an accident I shan't repeat.
finally got it working
I also ran into a wall after taking my wife s4 i545 from Verizon to T mobile. I finally got everything working. the phone is on OF1 so there's a lot of things you need to do they are all here but scattered and very hard to find. you need to root with wondershare mobilego. then you have to odin flash an OC1 kernel then change the settings to the T mobile settings then get this app called Advance signal status and change the defaul text message number from the verizon to the t mobile number and the mobile networks there too(you want GSM auto). after all that you'll be on 3g or H+ for your data but its not too bad and everything else works great including text. total time about 1 hour but just putting things together is where your time goes. hope it helps
Note if your T-Mobile SIM used to be in an iPhone
I was having crazy trouble getting my SMS and MMS working with a stock Verizon Samsung S4 (SICH-545) ROM. I believe most of the problems I had were due to the fact that I was previously using an iPhone4 as my T-Mobile device. After searching through the internet and finding the proper settings for T-Mobile APN, I was able to quickly get phone calls and 4G data working. However, there were some things that took a while to get working. Initially, I could receive SMS, but not send SMS, nor send/receive MMS. It's now working and here's what needed to be done:
Remove the phone from iMessage (allowed sending of SMS)
Remove the phone from iCloud (allowed sending/receipt of MMS)
Lastly, to ensure you get Voicemail access, change the Voicemail number in your Settings. To get directly to VoiceMail with T-Mobile, dial '123'. There's a different number for accessing from a different phone, but this works directly from your T-Mo phone.
I did not get a chance to read all of the responses on this thread, however, I can probably help resolve if the answer is not already embedded in this thread.
I have successfully rooted a Verizon SCH-I545 with stock Verizon ROM and got SMS/MMS to work. Unfortunately, I have only been successful through locking out LTE. If you want more detail please IM me. Otherwise, here is a quick overview:
1. Root SCH-I545 (There are a handful of methods but Wondershare MobileGO seems to do it for me.)
2. Update APN’s to T-Mobile (fast.tmobile.com)
3. Download Advanced Signal Status. Change Data Signal to lock GSM/CDMA (PRL)
4. Reboot and Enjoy
Worked on several handsets I have flashed.
NOTE: A simpler method would be to flash ALBE95_S6 using Flash Fire then there is no need to deal with locking your data signal through Advanced Signal Status, just use the default Network Settings within the ROM.
Hope this helps.
That doesn't work for me. I can't access Additional Info, AND even when I could, DATA would disconnect... so I'd have calls and texts.. but no data.

I did the same, flashfire albe s6, rooted, busybox, apn change, advanced settings gsm/umts, lost wifi too, but....
I was able to fix it. There is a wifi fix in one of the earlier posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/gogolies-wifi-fixes-t3099951 forgot which one I used. but it all works now (on tmobile that is)
Oh, in case you went and downloaded the latest ota from verizon (f*** you very much), like I did, lol, there's a wifi fix for the OC1 bootloader too, for us flashfire people: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952597069
here's the directions, nice and slow
root the phone, I used kingroot, then converted to supersu, then install busybox
then install safestrap, if you can (your bootloader is older than and not including OC1) or (if you went OC1 or newer), then install flashfire, like I did. Only thing is, if you muff something up and only have flashfire and not "real" recovery, other than the stock one, it gets kinda stick fixing it, (you have to odin in the verizon stock full image of OC1 and start over, I think, I forgot).
then I installed albes s6 rom, I think its in the unified or maybe att s4 section. its easy to find. Its prerooted, so I just updated busybox and then re-installed flashfire. when you install albes make sure you do a full wipe and flash the oc1 bootloader after the albe rom, in flashfire, that's the only way it'll boot.
ok, so you got albes, now you need to change the apn. I use idoneapp gt 3.8. The guy doesnt give it away for free anymore, and I don't blame him, I was just lucky enough to grab 3.5 (which you need to install 3.8) and 3.8 before he decided to charge for it. Its for the sprint s4, but it allows you to do alot of stuff, even on the verizon variety (lol). You can change the apn, allow wifi tethering, get into the advanced menu to change the radios (gsm, cdma, wcdma, lte, etc) (or you can dial *#*#4636#*#* - sometimes doesnt work though. There are other apps on the playstore to change the apn too, so change it after you do all that other stuff. make sure you have the mmsc and everything else correct for tmobile. I have mine set on lte, gsm, cdma, which seems to work for everything, voice, data, mms. Anyway, good luck and have fun! If it doesn't work, oh well, I bought mine for $13. I also have 3 other s4s, a sprint l720t, the cricket one, and the 970 us cellular. I cant get the cricket or the us cellular to take the tmobile sim, even though I flashed the radios to gsm and the roms to tmobile (pain in the a**), but I think those, although they do have the radios, don't have something else hardware wise to allow gsm, since they are both exclusively cdma. I found the sprint one, paid $10 for the cricket, and $22 for the us cellular (it was brand new though). I get lucky on ebay, people think their phones don't work and they do. I've take all of them apart many times, and most times they just need the usb,mic ribbon cable, which I can get on ebay for $1.89 (there's 2 versions though). Late
Hi all. I just got a Verizon LG G3 and am trying to use it with straight talk. I put in my sim card and I'm able to make calls and receive texts but the data isn't working. None of the APN settings I've tried work. I've been using the same sim card on my Galaxy Note 3 and everything worked fine on that. I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod 13 on it but it doesn't work on that or on stock. Does anyone know what i could do to get my phone working on straight talk? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Never mind I got it working. Ended up chatting with straight talk customer support and they were able to get it to work.
I am having the same issue right now. What did straight talk do to fix it?
So, after searching these forums the APN has changed several times throughout the course of the year. The latest dated change has the APN as TRACFONE.VZWENTP and this is the one that currently works as of the date of this post.
