I was redoing my phone and decided to try mobile Odin...it usually said this device not supported... This time it downloaded a service pack and is working... I haven't used it yet... Or do I know much about it cause I never had a phone it would work on...but since it says it works for our phone and a mobile Odin might be useful I thought I would let everyone know...you can find chainfires thread on mobile Odin in the forums

My friends vibrant which is rooted with eugenes macnut13, locked which means he has t mobile, won't get service. Like an idiot he took it to t mobile and the lady there factory reseted it, didn't help. Gave him a new sim card, still no service. Sup he gave to me and I figured it could be the rom so I flashed axura 2.1, still no service. Any suggestions before I odin it then tell him to take back to t mobile?

I had similar problem and it turned out it was defective sim cards and also there are multiple types of sim cards now that T Mobile is putting out and not all work in every device. Tech rep told me this and I found it to be true. Perhaps checking with TMobile about type of sim card might be a possible solution.
Ok thanks. Also does anyone know if there is a stock rom thats flashable through clock work instead of having to use odin, because I'm not bricked but would like to return to complete stock, searched and couldn't find one just wondering if it exists.

Seriously, odin nothing to fear its so easy as long as you have the Samsung drivers installed and you use the correct provided files. You should give it a go. I have done it countless times and it has never failed. You can even watch a video on YouTube on how to do it.

I am trying to purchase a verizon note 2 from a guy, but he used it in Guam on IT&E telecom. He had to change the SPC and used it solely on CDMA while there. I'm trying to get it to work back on the VZW 4g network, but can't find a great guide on getting it back....
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get it to recognize the verizon network again? Putting a SIM in just sits at the activate screen and never activates..
Verizon checked the ESN and it is clean.
Thanks

Did you set it to lte/cdma under mobile networks? Just making sure.

don't have the phone in hand (didnt want to buy without a guarantee it would work).
I'm supposed to meet up with the guy later and that's what I'm going to check. If it is set to that... what is the next step?
Thanks

I wish I could help you more bit that's the only thing I can think of. Me personally I would just take it to Verizon. If it has a clean esn they should be able to activate it.
By the way when you meet up, it's under settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode.

No worries, thank you, I didn't think to check that the other day... I did take it to a corp verizon store the other day, they checked the ESN, but they no longer do in store tech support, so they couldn't reflash/whatever needed to be done. the guy just kept burning SIM cards trying to get it to activate and it wouldn't...

All you have to do is odin back to stock and it will be on stock verizon with all of the necessary apns and libs.

Ah OK. Have you gone thru this before? Had some say that if it has a different boot loader flashed as well Odin could brick it.

If it has the latest update, VRAMC3, then all you have to do is flash the Root66 or alternate recovery ROM. If that doesn't fix it I would suggest flashing Root66 with the NAND Earase checked.
If its on VRALJB or VRALL4 then you can flash the VRALJB or VRALL4 .tar's in Odin and be done with it.
You need to read Droidstyles guide in the Android Development section, it will explain everything you need to know about going back to stock, its in section 1B I believe.

As long as it is indeed a verizon note 2 flashed to another carrier then odin will get you what you want.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Well I tried flashing the T-Mobile modems but when I reboot I don't have service so I guess I should flash the at&t modems since it is the at&t phone guess it doesn't matter I'm using tmobile service
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It does matter what modem you use and it depends on your location. ANY and ALL modems should give you phone service at least. So you have a problem. A problem talked about much many months ago. Again Backup, wipe completely, and install the factory ATT ROM using odin. Before you set it up do a factory reset for ****z and giggles. Verify that you have phone service. Then install recovery and superuser. Then install a T-mobile modem. Verify you have data and phone service. Then install the ROM of your choice. Do not reinstall a modem.
And please quit posting everywhere. You have been told what to do by a few now and all you do is rant everywhere. Maybe you should have purchased a T-mobile phone to use on T-mobile and saved yourself the trouble.
Yea but they charged more for the t-mobile version ima prolly wait and sell this one for 300 and put that with my check 2 hrs pf battery life is sad i thought the note would be better then that lol but i already did all that and i know im in a t-mobile 4g area cuz i had a t-mobile phone before and i tried all the modems they are not compatible for this phone im thinking the guy lied to me i think o might have a foreign phone again

I will ask again, did you go to Super everything thread?

"Super Everything" is just that. it has everything. I just cant help but think you want everything and you want it yesterday. relax, people will help you.

super everything, and look for SIM unlock.
this will instruct you how to unlock from ATT (getting a code from them) then unlock.
just read it the yesterday as a matter of fact. RANGER CAPTAIN is the author of the thread. in the first post, scroll down a bit and it is listed with some MOD's.
titled "UOCKING STEPS"
once unlocked, then you can put your Tmobile SIM in. as he states this only needs to be done once. you can then flash other ROM's and the process should stick.
good luck
Thanks man sorry for being a noob lol

by the way, if you e spending a lot of time in recovery or constantly flashing something, your battery is going to SUPER SUCK.
your battery should be in the higher end of charged when flashing. recommended 70% or better. could probably get away with 55 or 60 though. again, every time you flash, you take a hit.
Ah ok but a friend of mine used it today it was fully charged went from 100% to 5% in like an hr and 45 min and i was reading on the sim unlock this phone was already unlocked when i purchased it that's how i was able to get t-mobile on this phone i get 4g but it doesn't stay connected i have to restart a lot to get it connected again and most of the time i have no bars so idk maybe i should stop buying unlocked phones lol

Just got this phone yesterday and already having issues. Before I even rooted this thing the hands free activation didn't go through smoothly. I attached a pic below. That is one of the things that pops up.
Also, another screen pops up a lot. Device self help or something like that. It states something to the effect of, must complete this by pressing *2 on my phone to reach a representative.
Mind you that data works and so do phone calls. I actually called Sprint and they said that from their end everything is activated. This is driving me nuts. Any ideas?

I also purchased my note 3: from Best Buy and the sales guy said it would be better to use my sim from the s4 so it would not require activation. On my way home from the store I also received all the same errors you did and I called Sprint. The lady reviewed my account and said everything looked great but put me on hold when I told her about the sim exchange. She said to put the original sim that came with the phone back in the phone. When I rebooted everything seems to be ok. Except all the other issues I'm having with the phone, I will be returning it in a few days. This is the first phone I have never purchased a case for because I have no intention of keeping it with all its problems. I really like the note 3 but if the major issues on worked out I'll be on the s4 until they are.
