UPDATE:
Fixed the problem but putting CM10.1 on the device and changing the cdma subscription to SIM
I bought a Verizon S4 from swappa that had been rooted and unlocked and used on the AT&T network. With a factory reset I couldn't get my sim to work in the phone and so I used Odin to completely restock my device to stock everything. I took it to Verizon and after a couple of hours of trying to figure this thing out they confirmed that it was not attempting to connect to Verizon but AT&T.
Anyone have any idea how I can make it try Verizon instead? I was thinking I'd be rooting it again but I'm pretty lost.

No service / emergency calls only on AT&T.
Help please - on "new" unlocked GT-I9100, running SlimBean 4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL. This phone is for international use, but my sister-in-law is trying to use it in the states on AT&T prepaid. The phone gives all indication that it's unlocked successfully. Note that the same issue happened on 2.3.5 stock, so it's definitely not the ROM.
No signal or service on a new AT&T sim card (prepaid). Brought the card to the store, tried a different one, same issue.
Available networks: "AT&T" & "US". Clicking on either gives "Can't register on this network right now."
Tried a friend's T-Mobile SIM card, got weak service but was able to make a call successfully.
Running basebank I9100XXKI4. Had KI3 originally, same result.
ESN is clean and unmodified. Passed online ESN verification sites.
Any and all advice is appreciated!
What's the status on this??? I bought an s2 gt-i9100 of ebay. The phone works just fine with tmobile but stays on emergency mode with full bars on at&t. It's really weird since my tmobile sim is 7 years old and the at&t is only 2. Any help on this is appreciated.
Hello xda,
I'm looking at purchasing a S3 from eBay and I found a seller that is selling a factory unlocked S3. I'm not sure what that really means for me if I want to use the phone on PagePlus. I have a LG Lucid that has 4G capability so I had to reprogram it to use PagePlus on 3G. I never got MMS or data to work on it but that's another story.
Anyway, what does Factory unlocked really mean in terms of flashing? I like that idea of putting any SIM in the phone and using them without a lock is great and useful.
Is it less work to get the phone to use the Verizon/PagePlus network when it's already unlocked?
Also if getting a factory unlocked S3 is the best way to go for my situation, any help getting the phone flashed would be really appreciated.
Thanks

You probably don't have to much more than what you did before on your Lucid, but idk
Page Plus is a Verizon MVNO, and a CDMA carrier. The i9300 will not work, as it is a GSM only phone. If you want a SGSIII on Page Plus, you need to look for the i535 variant. That is the CDMA release of the SGS III.
allow me to explain my situation. when i first got this phone, i had LTE throughout my area. i installed a rom of stang5litre edition which ended up frying my motherboard but i believe it was from flashing it incorrectly and trying to flash the OC1 kernel when i was running OH7 which is OF1 on postpaid. so instead of replacing the fried emmc chip and getting the equipment to do it all, i bought a clean esn motherboard that was taken out of a regular i545 an not a i545pp. it works perfectly with calls, texts and 3G but not LTE. i called customer service many times, tried factory reset, bought a new sim card cause they thought it was bad (which i put in my friends s4 and had LTE instantly so i know the new sim card isnt the issue) it is set on global in settings and running OH7 stock 5.0.1 latest. i cant figure out why everything else works but no LTE. by the sounds of things, im not gonna be able to get a replacement cause verizon says its samsung that does the warranty replacement then samsung turns and says its verizon's fault with the signal and that they replace it. so this is left in my own hands it seems. can anyone help me out? maybe wrong prl or something? any help is very much appreciated....
Anyone with input or suggestions please? ??
Hey,
I don't know if this is too device specific, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955U). It was originally AT&T, though I got it unlocked the day I purchased it. I use it with T-Mobile now, and I never was able to update my phone since I switched. Turns out, it was because you can only do so using AT&T activated SIM cards. Literally had to get a prepaid to update it.
My questions is: Since I have an unlocked phone and use it with T-Mobile, is it possible for me to flash T-Mobile's firmware updates to my phone without consequence instead of having to get an AT&T SIM card every time to get their firmware?
I did some research, but was not able to come up with a definitive answer. It would really save me a lot of trouble if such is possible.
If not, any other way I can update without having to get through AT&T's prepaid SIMs?
Really would appreciate any help given. This has been driving me insane.
Thanks!
I bought a used S9+ from AT&T got it unlocked, and then installed the firmware via Odin for VZW I found online, but it still wont work.
I installed a radio switcher app and managed to at least get the LTE data working, but the phone+SMS doesn't work at all, and its showing no service (no bars), but the LTE data works perfectly. Anyone know how to get this phone to work on Verizon? I have spent almost 2 weeks trying and no luck
