I've ruled out everything I could think of, and the best this did was just give me 4G (7MB/sec downloads), and not 4G LTE (used to get 35MB/sec and up).
Things I've tried (with proper wiping/cleaning cache, data, system, dalvik cache before every single flash):
1- Unlock the SM-G900T, and add the IMEI to my account on att
2- check with att that LTE is working
3- get a new SIM card anyway because I'm paranoid!!!
4- Flash NG3 stock on the device, flash it back to NCH
5- Root the device, flash TWRP, and CM based Slim ROM on the device, and com.android. ... error
6- flash back to stock
7- APN is correct, ATT Phone APN and LTE is selected
What I noticed now is that typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer does nothing, and I mean nothing! It just sits there.
What am I missing here? (besides the rest of hair I had left on my head)
RESOLVED: It was a brilliant att agent that messed up my data plan while switching IMEI numbers!!! Lesson learned; think outside the box.
Glad you got it resolved.
Please edit your title so people can see easily see that too.
This is actually a common result and one of the most basic trouble shooting steps would be confirming that your SIM card is properly provisioned for LTE.. which usually requires a call to the carrier to check your account settings from the carrier side.
Enjoy your faster phone.

I thought you aren't suppose to give att your imei if it's a tmobile device?

Information on device(s): I have 2 Brand New HTC EVO 3D GSM PG86300 models bothe fully unlocked; Botrh with unlocked Bootloader and Both s-off, 1 fully Rooted and the other reday to begin root, but stoped just before Full root.
The device that is fully rooted got bricked 2 days ago, and I have been upside down in the threads, but have not found any answe to actually restoring this problem. I did not fully root the other, which I may need to just to extract files and use them to restore the bricked device.
What happened?, Like a jackass I thunmbed the wrong command while in root explorer and executed a script whick in return showed me a Black screen that was stuck and displayed at the bottom "SD Card SAfe To Remove" ?????? Finally I pulled the battery out and it gave me the HTC White Screen and has Fingered me ever since. I have loaded the PGimg86.zip for update, it updated, I changed the name of the file in Revolutionary by mounting the USB to PC the device as instructed, Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also formated / deletedmy cache. I have recovered everything I could. I have used the other SD Card to fix the loading issue, but Nothing.
My goal was to finish the processes and the Flash the device to also be able to use or Roam on the Sprint / Boost Network as the APN list does not recognize the Network Operator for that Carrier being that it is the only Carrier that APN's have to be Flashed.
The device was already recognizing SIM Cards from all Networks except Sprint / Nextel / Boost. This would be a similar running process on a BB 8350i, as I have completed to work on Both. BTW, the IDEN Network is nothing more than 800Mhz so Please do not advise me on the IDEN issue as it is a CAVE signal. What I need is the Phone Back to either Factory Reset or Original Carrier info. I can start a new and maybe, just Maybe, someone can figure out what to do in order to Script the PRL of SPrint / Nextel / Boost on these devices instead of the PG86100 model as it is a Tri-Band with a GSM Chip and virtually is the same in a sense except the PG86300 has a SIM Slot and can run on any signal as a Quad-Band out there. I have reviewed The International options of setting up the APN with GSM on Sprint, but unless it recognizes the Network Operator, It is not worth the instructions that where lsted.
Carrier: Rogers in Canada Roaming in the United States to Local area on GSM. Unlocked to accept all other Carriers but list above. First need to unbrick one of the devices and get it to boot again.
S.O.S. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEE HHHHEEEELLLLPPP HELP, Thanks, prose072
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Bricked?
If you are not able to boot it using flashboot to get into recovery then it is probably bricked. You can always take it to a sprint store and see if they can fix it.
It's Not a Sprint Phone It's an PG86300 Not 100

It's Not a Sprint Phone It's an PG86300 Not 100, It's the International Model GSM Quad Band, Not Tri-Band (Never leave home without a SIM SLUT / Card ) Dual GSM/CDMA device
This is the GSM Model. I have restored it to boot with an Direct exe file, but now I new to have it recognize the sim card as it says limited network. (????)
I will put the fix up for others with the same model here. I do need to find the link where this was moved to so I can answer the initial question(SSSS).
Thanks for replying. As soon as I get some other things complete I will have full time to re-address this problem later this evening.
I went through and read everything in the Super Thread - twice.
I went through and flashed the stock Rogers ICS 4.0.4 rom to the phone and then rooted it by flashing the cwm kernal in the instructions. My phone is successfully rooted and it is not reverting to the stock android recovery.
I went through and disabled all the Rogers bloatware and restarted the phone and now it isn't enabling itself automatically. Score one for patience and good advice.
I use Petro Canada Mobility pay as you go. They are a reseller of Rogers and the price is right until my ISP launches their wireless service.
I went through and set the phone so that is uses gsm/wcdma bands only - no LTE as it isn't available in my province as of yet. I set up Petro Canada's APN settings and save. I restart the phone and the phone automatically defaults back to Rogers APN settings. The APN that I created is gone - *poof* I can't count how many times in the last 24 hours I have reset this phone
What the heck am I missing here cause I can't figure it out. Why won't it save my APN settings? I got the rest of the kinks worked out and now this??
Do the Bell and Telus versions of this phone have the same quirks cause if they don't, I'll gladly flash their roms.
Help please!
I would leave the network to auto.
When you make an APN and save it, then select it, it disappears?
Can you edit the default Rogers APN?
Is your phone carrier unlocked?

When I make an APN and and save it, it is fine until I restart the phone. The minute I restart the APN disappears. I can edit the Rogers APN and save the changes. When I restart, it reverts to it's default settings. It is not carrier unlocked. Because my mobility carrier is a reseller of Rogers, my sim card works with it. There was no need to unlock it.
It seems like you need to unlock it, because you can't use any other carrier's APN, you're locked on Rogers.
Have you rooted it? Since that is the cheaper route, maybe being rooted will let you permanently create the correct APN.
Yes I have it rooted. Still the same issue.
Run a good nandroid backup ....
Then enter the new APN into the device ....
Then delete the old APN , then reboot ...
If the new APN sticks, then run a new backup and delete the old one ...
These devices can be temperamental on occasion ....g
Edit :
And yes ...you may be locked at this point, and stuck on Rogers ...g
I went through and unlocked the phone, stuck in a Bell Sim card and it recognized it right away. I went through completely reset the phone again, entered in my APN settings, and restarted. The settings disappeared. I am told that the Bell, Rogers, and Telus variants are all the same so I am going to flash one of their roms on the phone to see if I have better luck.
Well I flashed a different rom - Bell and that fixed the issue. It was the stock rogers rom that was causing me grief.
So my next question is this - anyone have any ideas on what Rom is better? The Telus or the Bell one?
Hi XDA ,
Am new in the Forum & First of all thanks to all of you for helping the forum and people. I'm having difficulties and I cant seem to find the way to fix this(its been 2 weeks)
My problem is the following: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 details:
software version: N900PVPUBMI3
hardware version N900P.00
Status: network: Digital roaming
mobile network type CDMA-AxRTT
Android 4.4.2
KERNEL:[email protected]#1
A friend bought me this phone and called my carrier METROPCS and made them set up the phone so I could use it. they asked him for imei and sim number. He was able to use the phone and 4GLTE(he was doing this to verify it was unlocked) later on he gave me the phone and I had to do the same procedure he did but first I did a factory data reset.
After it I wasn't able to set it up again.
I've noticed that APN SETTINGS has disappeared from the menu, cant search for networks, when I load IMEI it no longer shows the imei but it shows MEID B0000000 and besides all of this I have a message that says SIM CARD INVALID.(but the sim card works perfectly on my other phone)
I will all my life appreciate if you help me with this matter please!
PS. phone is rooted as far as I know(root check on Google play store said it was)
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

You might try installing this app it find/gives all the hidden info on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 it will give you APN's MEID AND IMEI . All you have to do is download to your PC, it my download as a zip file. Just use 7zip and rename it to an apk, then copy and paste it to your internal sd card via your charging cable. Then click on apk and install. Enjoy !!!
BTW your MEID is on a label under the battery !!!

Hi Jim/XDA
I'm still not able to connect to the network. Regarding the IMEI on the back part i know its there however what im saying is that im not able to see my imei through command when i dial *#06#
i as well had this errors today when i woke up:
: LTE:ESM-x EMM-14(ive seen this error when this issue started but it dissapeared and it came back know)
data roaming: you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.
On mobile networks i remember i use to be able to select many(GSM,CDMA,etc) now in network mode i only see 2 options LTE/CDMA,CDMA. Currently LTE/CDMA is selected and if you just look at the network mode option without actually opening it it shows CDMA/LTE/EVDO.
Also when i opened the SCRTN it shows on black screen.
I tried to do some minor changes on Galaxy tools like the SIM UICC UNLOCK all mps,sales,default code on XAS. Factory & keystring ON. MSL/SPC show 222222.
After i did SIM UICC UNLOCK and restarted phone know took away all errors but i see the signal bars faded out and with a little red x on top of it. I've read the manual but im still wondering if there might still be things to set on a particular way that are not specified on it Can you please help me set this up properly?

Is this a Sprint variant? If so, you shouldn't have factory reset the phone. It looked like the phone was previously flashed to MetroPCS and by resetting the phone, it removed all the carrier data.
You will have to reflash the phone to get it working again.

Is there a tutorial i could follow here ?
I greatly appreciate your help,

Hey guys, for those who need to edit an APN (Access Point Names), there is a little secret.
Go Settings, and scroll down the list. You will find a search box. Type there Access Piont Names and here it is.
The steps above are neccesary, since APN setting is hidden.
Info: HTC One M9 Sprint Variant
When I had installed a custom ROM on my phone prior to bringing the phone to sprint to activate it, the Sprint tech inserted a SIM card and did some things on the phone, and the phone had a 4G connection icon, but couldn't place any calls. Nor could the Settings>Activate This Device be used (loading forever), and Settings>Update PRL & Update Profile also would give some network error.
However when I wiped everything back to factory defaults, the phone (despite being being wiped) was able to pull that network info from somewhere and easily connect, at which point the updates could be downloaded.
So questions:
If I wipe /data/ and /system/ to install a new ROM, will I lose this network connection info?
Where did the phone pull that info from after I wiped/factory reset it?
Obligatory - This is my first post here, please go easy on me. If this is the wrong section please point me where I need to go.
Okay, I have been having issues getting IMS registration (for att) on my N20U (unbranded) Snapdragon. This is an issue because I don't receive most calls without VoLTE, and the service I am using is actually FirstNet. (An at&t service that provides priority cell tower access for first responders.) Who is also dropping legacy 3G and analogue calling at the end of the year.
The FN sim I was given would not change the network CSC to ATT like it should have in order to work properly.
I was able to get to the manual CSC change menu through the dialer code with a TFW-att sim card (yes, while on oneUI 3.0). I suppose the menu is locked out when other csc's are active.
This allowed me to force change to ATT's csc, then place my FN sim in the phone. The kicker? I had to toggle "do not auto update CSC based on sim data" in the menu to get this method to stick.
Things are grand, working fine, but i got curious as to what options the other csc's had to offer. So i start flipping through the list and end up landing on.....you guessed it..... XAA.
Without thinking about it, i ran it, the phone rebooted, and now im screwed. Flashed the ATT rom with Odin- no change. Factory reset? No change. I messed up BIG.
Finale / TLDR
If you didn't get what just happened there, I used a specific sim card to enable a CSC a menu that uncle sammy does not want you playing with. Proceeded to disable auto CSC changing by SIM, then walked back into a CSC that does not allow me to open said menu. Thus preventing my phone from working fully on ANY NETWORK ever again. With root impossible...
Side notes that failed: Tried fac reset/ tried firmware flash/ tried samkey (no android 11 support)/ tried force change from network side. I hope im not out of options?
