I don't understand why in a lot of 4.4.2 roms my SIM card is not supported. In fact every time I turn on my droid DNA it says that the SIM card is not verizon and the phone line doesn't work(only 3g works). But in the threads of all these roms there is GSM supported. How can I resolve it? Which roms doen't have this problem?

The problem is:
With the custom roms I tried when I turn on my droid DNA it says that the SIM card is not verizon and the phone signal doesn't work(only 3g works). But in the threads of all these roms it is written GSM supported.
I use noverca sim (It is my Italy provider)

I left the original setting(so GSM/WCDMA auto).
same issue here
I have the same problem and I have tried just about everything.
I'm using my DNA for at&t gsm. It is always saying non Verizon SIM and I can't make calls at all.
I'm to the end of my rope maybe we can figure something out if we work together.
It helps to edit the build prop but it still doesn't get rid of the problem entirely
Do you have any ideas.?

Hi, id like to know if the Photon 4G is CDMA or GSM with a Sim Card Slot? because im about to buy one from amazon and id like to know if it is one or both and how to recognize which one is it
It is both, it uses the sim for GSM and uses CDMA without the sim. You cant use a domestic sim for GSM, for now atleast.

Meaning you can't take a sim card from AT&T or another GSM provider within the US and plug it into Photon and expect it to work. Its locked out for GSM in the US. It works internationally though.

I have just bought an unlocked Sprint unit from ebay, hoping to use the GSM slot for my primary pre-paid line in Nigeria, and the CDMA slot for one of the CDMA providers in Nigeria as well. I plan to take the unit to be programmed into a CDMA network in Nigeria; that will cost me about US$50. Meanwhile, I successfully rooted and flashed ParanoidROM JB, but I saw that it showed no GSM signal at all with the JB ROM, so I restored the original GB 2.3.5 Nandroid backup. There seems to be very little documentation on how the dual system works. Will I be able to use both the CDMA and GSM together, in a dual-standby fashion, in Nigeria?
I flashed the KDDI radio and cm10 and have used my MoPho on T-Mobile.
Don't forget to thank all who help!

Can someone please help me out? I'm using a bell lte SIM card, however, I have no problems getting gsm on Verizon roms (phone doesn't support bell lte). The reason I want a gsm rom is because the verizon roms dont have functioning mms with my provider.
When I use a gsm Rom I get "SIM card not found".when trying to enter my apn settings. Tweaker apn doesn't work either.
What can I do?

Hello again, everyone. The last thread I had was about trying to get this phone on Cricket, which failed MISERABLY.
Not sure if it's the phone yet, but since the phone can accept a SIM/GSM card, I took a look at T-Mobile, already got the estimate for what my plan would cost, etc. I really don't want to buy another handset, especially after going through the four-day blundering around until I got a custom rom on this phone.
However, now that I know how to do it, I should be able to load Cyanogen on any device that is supported.
That being said, any users here have experience with T-Mobile? In theory, would the phone work after accepting the SIM card and getting programmed by T-Mobile?
I tried using Google, I tried searching for using this phone on T-Mobile, but found nothing helpful.

Ok, THIS time, the phone radio was updated. Apparently, I could not use internal storage. Silly me. Thanks for the new radio image, getting a G instead of an E on my internet!
But a quick google search reveals GPRS instead of EDGE. Is that progress? Changed to WCDMA preferred again, and still nothing with a 3 AND a G.

Not sure if this is important, but I switched to the Viper 2.2 ROM just to try it out (plus it supports DIAG) For some reason, when I load T-Mobile APNs on CM 10.1, it will hang on the boot screen for a REALLY long time.
Okay, got CM 10.1 working. Still working on EDGE. Going to try and reflash the radio to see if that works.
So it turns out the radio IMG hangs the boot. After it is loaded, cache will not mount in recovery mode.
Update: the bands are not supported by this phone.
LTE 700MHz; CDMA 2000 1x/EVDO Rev 0/A 800/1900MHz; UMTS/HSPA dual band (2100/900) and quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900)
Compared to the Optimus L9...
WCDMA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
And then I find the radio for the Google Nexus 4... And I think if I can set the phone's frequencies, it should work. Google Nexus 4 has UMTS/HSPA 2100. Just the CDMA won't be WCDMA.
Which bands are not supported?
Isn't UMTS/HSPA dual band (2100/900) 3g?
I'm headed to singapore where they use 2100 I believe so I'm curious about this (and the radio update). I have 1.53.06.0919 currently.

Hey guys...
So, the Verizon S4 is the model named SCH-I545 and it comes with a sim slot, right? Besides, it comes Internationally Unlocked, so it can be used on GSM networks around the world, correct?
Just one more question, does it work on the 850MHz Band for 3G?
I'm thinking on buying one also! Thanks!
I brought the vzw s4 back to india.. but its not working with either vodafone or airtel GSM.
After rooting and installing apn manager and titanium pro I was able to get the data working but that too only 3g.
But the voice n sms is still not working.
I too am lookiblng for a solution but didnt find any, inspite of this being a world phone.

I am having the same issue. The phone picks up only data signal and not voice or SMS. I have a Note2 purchased from Verizon and it works perfect. I have rooted and was able to install an I9505 ROM Wamma Lite. It picked up the gsm signal for a moment and same issue occured. Can aI9505 modem be iinstalled using Odin which will make the gsm modem primary and CDMA secondary and allow gsm use for voice and SMS. Please help.

Straight from Sammy.
"Frequencies and Data Type:
LTE: Bands 4/13

I am using my i545 in both CDMA and GSM networks. Didn't try HDSPA, but EVDO Rev.A and even Rev.B, and GSM with EDGE - working properly without problems. Switching between networks - is in the Settings. My phone is connected to two different operators at the same time - to CDMA and GSM.

Are you using CDMA injected? I am using i-545 in Indonesia with local operator CDMA RUIM not successful, will try with CDMA injected.
Hi there guys, i have quite a peculiar problem and i tried searching the threads but to no avail.
I have an international RAZR XT910, i got it used, and as far as I know, it is sim unlocked, because i am already using a local sim on it (i live in the Philippines btw) and no local carrier offers this phone, thus the assumption that it is already sim unlocked.
However earlier today, when i tried to pop in another local carrier's sim card, i cant get any signal, and i dont even get the "sim card invalid" screen, just won't get signal at all.
I know the sim card is good since i tried using 2 different ones, but both wont get a signal.
When i put back my original sim card the phone works normal and gets signal.
My question really is, how do i make sure the phone is unlocked? Coz i know with samsungs there are codes you can use.
I have stock ics on system 1 and PA3.8 on system 2 using BMM btw, if that matters.
Hope to get a response. Thanks guys.

I just did, we have 3 carriers here in my country. I tried the other 2 and both have the same symptoms, no signal. :banghead:
I don't understand why this is fhe case, bexause i am sure that the carrier which works on the phone never released this phone, thus the phone being sim locked to this network is unlikely.
Isn't there a way to check the lock status of the phone?
