I have a streak 5 (supossed unlocked) with DSC ROM 2.3.3, and when I installed a new sim card from a new carrier, the phone "thinks" that I´m in Roaming (it shows de "R" over the bars), It works fine, but I can not have data (without wifi), even if i enable "data roaming"
I´ve tried with searches but no succes
Please help, i really need data!!!
Some more information please? Which carrier is the SIM from and who was your original carrier?

Thanks a lot for your interest
The first carrier was Orange, in Spain, and the actual one is an spanish Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), called mobil R

Have you tried modifying your network settings or updating? Can you screenshot {more settings>network} also you need to ensure the hardware in your phone is compatible with the network spectrum of your current provider.

The very fact you're able to use the R/Vodafone SIM in your device proves you are unlocked. If it were tied to Orange you would have been prompted to enter an unlock code.
Without knowing the carriers you were going from or to I couldn't rule out radio frequencies as the cause of your problem. With this knowledge, it's possible to rule that out. Therefore your problem can be traced to one of the following:
*APN settings are set incorrectly.
*Your carrier's coverage map is inaccurate in your area and you really are roaming.
Check your APN settings, but I'm inclined to believe you are actually roaming from your location, in which case I'd go back to Orange since you weren't roaming with them.

Thanks a lot again,!!!
I have found a posible solution in internet, The problem is as i use a MVNO , the actual ROM onlly identifies real networks and not the "virtual" ones, a posibility is editing the build.prop adding:
ro.roaming.extended=true
ro.roaming.extended_rule=1
but now i can not edit the build.prop, it gives me an error when storing it

I´ve had no succes editing the build.prop, I could edit it but nothing changed, but I talked with the carrier and changed de APN settings
and now is solved
Thanks a lot to stephon and droidscoop
Editing build.prop on the fly is not a good idea. If the build.prop isn't correct, at best the device will throw up errors and at worst it will bootloop. That said, there are build.prop editors in the Play Store. DSConfig itself is a limited build.prop editor in that the settings it adjusts are all written to build.prop when saved.
BTW, it's good to know that you got your issue fixed.

Hello, this is my first post her and my first experience in doing this.
I bought a 6800 off of eBay, It is the CDMA version w/ GPS, a Bell Mobility phone. I was under the impression that MTS (Manitoba Telecom Services) was still aligned with Bell, but it turns out that hasn't been the case in over 6 months, so now I may as well try and hack my phone. They don't use the same data lines anymore either.
I took it to MTS to get it activated. The calling and text messaging works just fine, but the data part does not work AT ALL. It gives me an error message "Can't connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again."
I've been doing some reading on the wiki and other posts here, and it's a lot to absorb for someone who is completely new to this. I THINK all I have to do at this point is unlock the phone, change the carrier to MTS, and enter the akey (which I could possibly get from MTS).
Does this sound about right? I realize I could put a custom ROM on and a new Radio ROM, but if I don't need them just yet I would rather see if this will work.

i feel a custom rom is the first thing to do to these phones.... sorry cant help with the other questions......
Can you call them and find out how their data connections work?
Like with me, for Sprint, I have to dial #777. You might just have to edit your connection settings
Can't speak directly to MTS, but on VZW, what I do is an esn change off the phone to my backup...flash the custom rom, then esn change back. This takes care of akey and provisioning.
Hi ,
I have Bell Atrix, unlocked, I flashed the Franch SBF 2.1.1, and all worked well, EXCEPT..
the phone is always roaming, I cannot get data unless I check the Data roaming, there is a little (r) next to my signal all the time..
and I don't know how to fix it..I checked Build.prop, to see if there any setting there.. but I dont know which and what to look for..
my question is: is there a way or a settings that I can change to get rid of the raoaming issue.
as I said my Atrix is BELL and I am with fido..
You need the apn settings for fido, and create an access name under wireless settings - network settings -access point names.

I did put the APN for Fido, unless I turn on the roaming data, it does not connect.. also now one seems to explain the (R) next to the signal.. why the Bell Atrix started to show me that its roaming after flashing with FR 2.1.1 sbf.. in on Montreal with FIDO and fido sim in my Atrix..
that is my real question.
Hi,
There are two numbers, MCC, and MNC in the APN, the phone will show roaming if what the network reports is different than what is setup.
MCC (mobile country code) for Canada is 302, you should have that.
MNC (mobile network code) for Fido is 370, if your APN isn't using that then you will be roaming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
The French sbf may not have the canada codes in it's apns.conf, see attached file from the Bell stock firmware, you can replace /etc/apns.conf with that, then go to access point names and reset to default.
Cheers!

I'll take a look in my apns.conf but it must have the Canada codes as I have been running the french sbf since it was leaked on my Bell version (on Bell) and never had it roam. I just had to add the Bell apn (obviously) and it worked fine.
I do have a question for you though, since you seem to know a lot about these phones, etc. On my last phone (Samsung Galaxy S), there was a secret menu code (like *#*#4636#*#*) that would take you to the network band settings. From there you could not only see what band the phone was running on, but you could SET what bands were active. Is there anything like that on the Atrix? I am curious if the modem in these non Bell sbf's like Telstra/french sbf access the 850MHz band or not.
Hi,
*#*#4636#*#* is the only one I know about. You can set GSM vs GSM only etc, that would be where you'd change bands.
The codes would only be launching an android app/service somewhere, i tried a hex edit and file search of apps, couldn't find it.
Cheers!

Thanks for looking. I wasn't sure if you could even manually set anything other then selecting "USA Bands" in 4636. It's no big deal, i'm just used to being able to go in and manually select bands on my previous SGS.
My signal is fine, it was just for curiosities sake.
HI NF
I check my APN. here are the values
Name: FIDO
APN: Internet.fido.ca
USERNAME:Fido
PWD:FIDO
*****
MCC:302
MNC: 370
Those are the only values I have..
this is really strange.. according to the above, I should not be roaming.. but something changed in my phone when I first flashed the French SBF.. and is shows roaming after that flash..
this is really strange..
UPDATE: another problem : when I choose Setting->call Setting->Operator Selector, I notived two things.
the Check box next to Select Automatically is not there, I think it was there when I was on Bell Stock,
next when I choose .. Search Networks.. it searched for long time and phone stops responding, I have to Turn off .
also, when I choose Advanced Setting the Call waiting is greyed out, when I click on Caller ID I get Invalid SIM Error.. again I have to reboot to get the phone working again..
the info I have after *#*# 4636 ...
Nieigbouring CID shows as UNKNOWN..
Roaming: Roaming
NETWORK TYPE:UMTS
not sure if this will you a clue..
Hi,
Sounds like it might be an issue with the radio itself, or it could be that you are just roaming, perhaps a network outage. I would try flashing the telstra sbf, see if you get the same problem. If we had a Bell sbf would could revert back to the stock radio, so we have two options, 1.87 or 1.92. You could try just flashing the radio to see.
In my settings, I have it set to GSM (auto), nothing special there. In network settings, I have it set to automatic, under operator selection, auto is selected. I don't have roaming issues myself with either firmware, but I am not using my phone in your area. Could just be a network update in my area from being in the same boat.
Cheers!
NFHimself..
I followed your instructions about Restore the partitions.. and it works.. I dont have roaming anymore and data work.. you are the man!!! thanks so much for your help
it Worked!!!
I followed your instructions to RESTORE the phone and man.. I was so happy to see it work.. thanks so much for your help..
You're welcome, two times.
Cheers!
OK guys the title explains my predicament. I live in Costa Rica and am currently with the I.C.E for any of you that may be from here. I purchased a used S2 from a guy that bought it from Claro. So the first thing I did was get rid of the stock and I flashed everything like I wanted which is:
CheckROM v6
Using DarkKnight's Kernel
I'm using the KI3 radio but I have about 20 others and none of them changes my situation (coming up)
Original info was:
PDA-KG7
Phone- KG4
CSC - KH2
NOW here's the deal, my network icon has full bars but with an R for roaming. The phone works fine, I somewhat have data connectivity although SLOW, BUT when I go to APN settings there is nothing there NOR will it let me save a new APN, BUT I do get the 3G and H icons depending on where I am, I just can't program in a new APN or get rid of the Roaming icon no matter what ROM I flash, kernel or radio combination...
I have tried automatically and manually selecting my networks also, no dice...
I have of course already gone to *#*#4696#*#* and changed settings and tried all the variants but currently have it on WCDMA preferred.
I have also gone to *#2263# and tried all those variants but left it on WCDMA All Channels.
So I am more than open for any suggestions.
Go to Sammobile.com & search for stock firmware for your country/carrier (or just your country if they don't have any carrier specific firmware for your region), flash this firmware via Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for firmware downloaded from their site.
Once you've done that, check your APN setting & see if you have full connectivity. If for whatever reason your APN settings are blank (if you only end up downloading/flashing a country specific firmware only, for example), call your carrier for the APN settings and then enter these manually.
First thing you do when you have these problems is go back to stock & see if you can reproduce the problem or whether going back to stock fixes same

Thanks alot for your response MistahBungle.
Well on stock firmware is where I originally have the problem, that's the reason I began flashing ROMs and radios. IF I use a SIM from the original carrier which is Claro then all is well. BUT if I use a SIM from one of the other two carriers then the phone signal says roaming and I can't save any APN settings, no matter if I'm on stock firmware or any of the other ROMs or radio combinations that I have tried.
OK. Looks like we'll have to dig a bit deeper
So do you have baseband & IMEI in settings/about phone ? That issue of not being able to save APN settings with those other carriers sounds to me like a SIM or network issue. My first thought was it's a problem with the baseband, hence I suggested to flash a stock rom. But if that was the issue, you probably wouldn't be able to enter APN details for any sim/carrier.
Actually, now that I think about it. You know what it sounds like ? That the phone is network locked to your original carrier. That would explain everything.
If your phone *should* be locked (like you're on a contract where you only 'own' the phone at the end of the contract, etc), then I guess you can either pay the original carrier to unlock it. Or you can try one of the many unlock methods you can read about on here/apps you can get on the Market. Or if it shouldn't be locked yet it is, maybe ask the original carrier to unlock it.
You could also try flashing a specific rom for one of the other carriers, but I'm pretty sure that phone is network locked.

Ok just to clarify... all that makes sense, but what is ODD to me is that I don't think the phone is locked... I have full phone capabilities. I can make and answer calls, send texts, I even have full internet capability (even if I can't save any APN settings and there are none to be seen in the menu to choose from), I have the full speed of what I'm paying for from my carrier... the phone just won't let me SEE what APN settings it's using and in the signal it says R for roaming, but in networks it shows that it's connected to MY network...
Yes my IMEI does come up, BUT when I try one of those unlock apps I always get the message that it was unable to unlock it, but it's working with my carrier.
Ahhhh. OK. Yep that's a bit clearer now
OK. So we're pretty sure it isn't locked. That is really weird that it won't let you enter APN settings (regardless of which rom you're using), but you still have internet connectivity. Again, showing your network as the network connected to, yet showing up as roaming on the taskbar, is weird.
I've gotta say I"m pretty much stumped then. Haven't read a similar situation on here in the 4 mths I've been following the Q&A section of the board pretty much every day. Sorry I can't be of more help
Hopefully someone better qualified that me reads your post & can help. If you don't get a reply in a day or two, give it a bump.

I looked for 5 days for an answer before I started a new thread because no one will go off on a noob for not searching quicker than I will, but I just haven't seen anyone with a similar situation on any forum anywhere...
THANKS AGAIN!!
Now to the rest of you devs, come on help a fella out and tell me what files I need to be looking for or modifying
Ok MistahBungles I got an update for ya... I decided to download a different firmware package (the PDA and Phone match mine but not the CSC), it's for Claro Argentina, BUT the ROM isn't branded when I booted it (the ROM the phone came had a CLARO boot logo (another reason I started looking for a different ROM)) and THIS ROM automatically has my APN settings in the menu without me doing a thing and the R in the signal is gone....
So now my question is how do I go about flashing the ROM I wanna use which is CheckROM but not lose my new found freedom (I ask because I'm not sure if this is a simple radio issue)

The Phone maybe Network Locked.(Not sim locked) As taken from gsmlocker.com:
Q. What sorts of locks are there?
A.
- lock phone to SIM
- lock phone to OPERATOR (network lock)
- lock phone to CODE (product lock = offer lock)
If your phone is locked to the sim you cannot use any other sim than the one you have: SIM broken makes phone useless.
If your phone is locked to an operator, you can use any SIM from this operator in your phone. You can switch between contract and prepaid as you wish, but not to a different operator.
If your phone is locked to a code, the phone checks a special "password" (GID) on the SIM that must match your phone. Providers often use different passwords for contract and prepaid.

OK I get your point BUT the phone if fully functional, I'm using a SIM from a different carrier, I have a data connection, make and receive calls, the whole nine yards, it just won't let me see what APN setting it's using and the R symbol is in the signal... once again, IT IS allowing the use of a different SIM from another carrier
Yes its the same as me! I have the R showing as well.(if you put the Claro sim in the R will disappear yes?)

NOW I'm really scratching my head... guess I need to contact the dev?
Ahhh. So Market Enabler is changing the CSC which is causing the network settings to disappear/barf.
Nice work finding the source of the problem Yeah tell the dev. Hopefully they can find some sort of fix/workaround so you can still use Market Enabler.

Well I just through and installed and tried ALL the market unlocking apps and they all apparently do the same thing and causing the same result, my phone thinks it's roaming, so now the head scratcher is why my other Android devices don't behave in the same way?

Sorry to bump this up, but I'm having the exact same problem. I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it.
I have a HTC Sensation and it happened to me right after I upgraded my custom kernel version to a newer one.
I never installed Market Enabler nor Market Access but when I check the SIM info it shows incorrect MNC and MCC values which
I can't change... they won't save in the system options.
I thought maybe my SIM card is screwed up, so I'm thinking of getting a new one from my service provider.
I just have to check it on a different phone first.

Ok, forget it. My SIM card was having issues, got a new one from my carrier. Everything is working fine now.
Hello. I have an unlocked i717 and i have Claro Argentina.
In stock rom, i puted *#2263# and changed gsm to 850/1900 and worked fine.
Now in cyanogen 10.0 i have no 3g, no internet.
I have tried putting *#2263# and it doesnt work anymore.
I have tried chaging apn and, doesn't work anyway.
What can i do ? How can i acces to the same panel that i entered before with *#2263# to change bands?
Thanks
APN must be input exactly the same as the previous APN.
Also, it must be saved prior to leaving the setup screen, or it will be lost.
If the APN is correct, your signal will return ...g
I know that. Apn is ok.
Also in standard rom i DIDN'T have 3g until i change bands to gps 850 /1900 by the *#2263# mode (with same APN), problem is that now with cyanogenmode that *#2263# dont work anymore, and i cant change bands to 850/1900.
UODATE: If i put "Use only 2g networks" works fine.
Your input code is obviously a carrier function...
And if your current rom will not support the code change, then the obvious choice would be a return to the previous rom.
I dont know what rom you had before, but if manual entry of the APN fails, and the carrier code fails also,
You are likely missing the associated RIL's that accompany the radio baseband.
And in order to restore the radio interface libraries, you will need to restore your previous build, (it contains the RIL's)...
Or use a compatible, NON-AOSP build.
Cyanogenmod does not contain the libraries that were issued in your stock rom .....g

Sory im new to android, and i dont understand very well.
I know that the input code is a carrier function, what i don't really understand if why i i put automatic mode internet doesnt work. By the way, internet doesnt work but the icon of "3g" and "h" is there...
I know that i can return to the previous rom, but i would prefer to have android 4.1, default version is 4.0.4, and i also like cyanogen futures.
My before rom, was the samsung rom ATT, original.
I don't know whar RIL's are.
What is an NON-AOSP build?
Is there anyway i can use cyanogenmod ? If not, is there any other rom (non default) that i can use?
Thanks
AOSP stands for "android open source project "...
It is pure android software , that lacks the "skin" or theme that is applied from Samsung.
It also means that some dependent software may also be missing. RIL's for example...
Ril's ...or radio interface libraries, are carrier added software that allow your radio..(transmitter chip) to communicate with your network , or other networks around the world.
And if they are missing, will break function with their respective carriers.
My first impression was that you are missing these files that are present in a stock rom, but not present in an AOSP build.
And that is a possible cause for your data issues.
But your saying that you do see the 3g, and H icons ??
This tells me that your device does see the network, but takes us back again to the APN settings, or the RIL'S..
Having voice service, but no data, would indicate a bad APN....but you said it's correct, and I believe you.
Of course, you have data enabled ??
I'm not doubting ....just making sure.
3g and H icons are a good sign....but the carrier is not seeing the device on the data side..
And this can be caused by a number of issues.
APN's and Ril's ....
Then we move to much more in depth causes..like device ID numbers missing, and carrier lockouts.
I don't think we are at those levels, and feel that we need to test the rom theory.
If you are willing to revert to the factory rom, we can then verify your current rom as the issue. And if the problem persists...we look deeper.
If the stock rom fixes the problem ....we'll find a suitable rom that won't break functionality for you ....g
Edit: very late here , and I'll be logged off for tonight, but will be back in the morning and continue to help you if needed...g

AOSP stands for "android open source project "...
It is pure android software , that lacks the "skin" or theme that is applied from Samsung.
It also means that some dependent software may also be missing. RIL's for example...
Ril's ...or radio interface libraries, are carrier added software that allow your radio..(transmitter chip) to communicate with your network , or other networks around the world.
And if they are missing, will break function with their respective carriers.
My first impression was that you are missing these files that are present in a stock rom, but not present in an AOSP build.
And that is a possible cause for your data issues.

In fact, "3g" and H icons are showed. There were also showed in stock rom and i had the same problem before changing gsm bands by putting the code. (3g icon but not internet). When putting the code and selecting first option (auto), 3g still doesnt worked, i had to change to manual select of gsm 850/1900.
Thats why i think there is a band problem. Because is exactly the same problem that i have now with cyanoged, that the one i haved with default rom before selecting manually 850/1900. Problem here, is i think cyanogen doesn't have an option to select manually the bands.
APN im sure is fine, cause i have checked all, (that was also the first i do in stock rom).
About devices ID number, once, when i pluged the phone to the pc, win 7 says that "the id number of the hardware was wrong" or something like that. I reinstalled drivers, and problem solved, i don't know if could be something of that.... (i still don't think so, because in stock version i had the same problem, as i have written).
I know that stock rom will work (only if i put manually the gsm bands).
So what should i do? Reset to factory rom and loose cyanogen ? (I prefer cyanogen, but if there is no solution to my problem....),
Thanks
PD: Also like i said, if i select 2g network only, icon shows "E", and i have internet.
Settings/wireless and networks/more/mobile network.....
You will find the manual network switch for cyanogenmod.
We have it for ATT also, but the network restricts us so it won't work. But should work for you.
I'm running CM9.1.0 stable ...
Also ....your radio baseband should not have changed by flashing cm, as the rom does not contain the radio image.
I would not flash a different radio image, as yours hasn't changed ....g
Yesterday night i have tried again with stock rom,
I noticed that in gsm 850/1900 shows "E" = 2g, the sane as cyanogen, If i change to wcdma 1900, it shows 4g and doesnt work, SOOO, i put another SIM of other company, and works perfectly fine in 4g.I ve called today to my company, and they told me that there was a problem with the antenna.
Finally, there was no problem in the cellphone, and i can use cyanogenmod, unique problem is beacuse of CLARO that is a fu****** ****.
Thank you
Glad to hear the good news ....
Happy flashing ....g
Yeah, lots of places use the 850 band. Especially where towers are far apart. Low frequency waves travel farther. Is Voda or Orange an option?

Problem solved.
Thank you all.
I recently purchased a refurbished phone Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. I just got it yesterday, and found that I am not able to use my mobile network. The sale said it is factory unlocked, and according to the descriptions, it should work just fine with my US Mobile SuperLTE network as well. When I switched on the phone, I see Verizon on the screen and so, I assume that it was locked to Verizon in the past.
When I tried to change the network settings, specifically the APN settings, I get the message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user." The three dots on the top with reset to default is also greyed out along with Network mode in the previous page. When I click Network Operators and try to connect to the network manually, I am only able to connect to Verizon Wireless and no other. But, calling and messaging seems to work fine. Is it that the unlock process has not been completed properly? Did any of you face the same problem before? It would be great if there is something that I could do to unblock the APN settings as the rest of the phone works really well. The specific model is SM-G991U.
Thanks!

So, you need to go into the settings menu and find about phone, software info. What you want to find is the CSC information.
It will basically look something like this: XAA / XAA-XAA / XAA (or some other letters like VZW or ATT or TMB etc etc.
What taht will tell you is very helpful in determining what rom the phone is running and what kind of device it was originally. Find that in your device and post it and people will help you to figure out what it means.

Thank you so much for your reply. I looked through the software section in the about section. I found the following codes about the rom.

So the csc info is complicated, I'm no expert on it. But it does look like the OYN indicates it's a multi csc rom. It does have XAA as a part of the code, and that indicates it's 'open' for that specific part. But all the others are VZW. So it's running a vzw rom, obviously.
Your sim US Mobile uses both verizon and t-mobile networks. So it working for calls and texts makes sense, as a vzw phone. You could use patched Odin and flash a different (open) rom, but first you should verify that the device really is unlocked from vzw.
Best way to do that would probably be to insert another carriers sim card and see if it can make calls / texts. If not, it's not unlocked. But are you saying everything works now except mobile data? IOW, no internet access?
I had an international sim card at hand and I put it in. Interestingly the APN settings are no longer blocked. But, I do get a notification from setup wizard saying the inserted sim is not from Verizon and some services may not be available. But, messaging still seemed to work and I was also receiving 4G.

Oh then yer okay. That message from verizon can be gotten rid of a couple of ways; 1) use adb commands to disable the specific packages 2) use patched Odin and flash a different rom
VZW is the only rom I think that does that, and it's very annoying. I don't remember exactly which packages have to be disabled, but search google and use xda and vzw in keywords and u should find it.
The 2nd option would be my choice. It would do away with vzw crap and with an open rom you may find volte and vowifi will work also.
cheers
Thank you so much for your reply. That sounds great! To just give it a try, I tried putting in a TMobile sim and phone restarted to install software for TMobile. After that the APN settings were unlocked and now I am also able to connect to the internet using my US Moblile sim. The only problem is the the network mode is greyed out.
This rom I think only recognizes network from major telecom providers. So, just flashing with an unlocked rom would just help to unlock all the features and also remove telecom specific crap. I will try to flash it today.
Thank you again!
I also just flashed the stock firmware which is fully unlocked. And there is no bloatware from telecom OEM's. I am now able to use the network and set the APN's, but the Network Mode is still greyed out. Is it possible to know why? I am guessing that if the phone is fully unlocked, I should be able to change the Network Mode. Is there any other info that I can give you to help understand what is happening? I do not see vowifi as well.
