Need help registering I717R on Virgin Mobile network please. I've read pages and pages on these forums as well as google searching for a solution.
The phone would register for a few minutes then kick out. Turns out this phone was reported lost.
Folks- CHECK YOUR IMEI BEFORE BUYING A USED PHONE!
Free check here.
I got your PM, dont worry about bothering me, if I can help I will.
Unfortunatley, I am not sure I would be of any help. The question you posed in your PM sounds like a bit of a stretch. That doesnt mean it cant be done, but I think it would be a long road to travel.
It does sound as if it is a modem issue, possibly APN.
I know there are several that claim the Blaze modem works like a charm. Sorry I dont have a copy as I dont need.
I would fret too much, as whenever I give advice, someone comes along and corrects me. I might expect someone such as 440bro to come along, who seems to have every file in existance along with solid advice. Or a slight chance maybe that Sashusmom would drop in, who is a modem goddess. She is a master at the modem.
Good luck my friend, stick with it.

Just weighing in to try help rule out the obvious when the phone connects after a phone reflash does all telephoney functions work correctly? Calls texts and data?
Does the simcard carrier run on a compatible frequency for this model of phone in your area?
Since you have performed the unlock does any other simcards show the same issues?
I assume that while it is in its "unregistering" state you cannot receive calls?

The SIM carrier does work on a compatible frequency. I've had it fully connected before a few times.
My girlfriend's SIM did act the same way but I'll try it again.
The SIM won't register so no I can't interact with the network in any way.
Thanks anyways for the reply.
Finally found and reflashed the stock ROM and Radio... nothing. Will post a new error log from stock format soon.
SOLVED... unfortunately.
Make sure to check your IMEI folks.
....service mode folks. Take your time.

Hello everyone. I have a really weird problem going on. Whenever I use the mobile internet (doesn't matter whether it's 2g or 3g) something's happening and no one can reach me via a call or sms.The operator tells that the phone is switched off while actually it isn't. I don't have any indication of signal loss, I can call people while I'm using the mobile data.Sometimes people can call me, but sometimes they can't. I'm using stock gingerbread rom, never changed kernel or anything, just rooted. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me because it's my business mobile phone and I can't afford to miss calls.
Thanks in advance and sorry if there already existed a similar thread, I did a little search and didn't find any similar problems.
probably its your service provider fault

If you already contacted your service provider about it, try switching stock rom basebands. Which one are you using? Try switching to KS2. The one I'm using. If that doesn't work, try a different one.
Hey change sim card. . And now mobile portebelity. So ur number not change. . Do it.

I have been searching for 3 days trying to find the problem. I have an AT&T Galaxy s 2 that I rooted using the Zedomax root through ODIN. I unlocked it to use for my T-mobile service. Everything was working fine for months. Then one day I woke up to use my phone and there was a circle with a cross through it. I am not able to call out or even get a data connection. So I tried flashing back to stock no root and same thing. I put a AT&T sim in and it was the same thing. Flashed back to root several times and I still get the same thing. I checked to see if my radio was on and it was fine. Did Either Service just block the phone? I don't get it. When I leave my house I get bars but no connection on both data or service. Yet I get all kind of texts . So why wont it let me call out or even use my browser if i go down the street and it says it has service and is getting texts? I swapped phones and works perfect so I know it can't be my SIM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Don't. Use. Zedomax.

DId u try calling T-mobile? or AT&T about the issue?
Well I'm on a "no contract plan" and buy my phones cash. So no warranty. So Zedomax is bad?
Maybe flash a radio to it. I've noticed that I lose service with some roms occasionally. But when I do, I just flash a radio and it seems to fix it.
Sounds like a bad APN setting to me.

Very bad. Its well known to cause many problems on peoples phones. They usually come here after messing up their phone from his website which is no bueno and annoying. Stick with xda from now on, it won't steer u wrong
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Call your service provider and verify your APN settings are correct.
From my own limited knowledge. A circle with line means no signal. Bars without a connection type icon means a signal but no service.
As far as useing the zedomax rooting method, as per the OP if it was running fine for monrhs, that clearly isn't the issue.

I'll try flashing a radio and see if that works. .
i have checked all my APN settings and everything seems ok to me. I have hard reset multiple times. My data packet shows on. I also checked my settings to see if my radio is on and it says yes. My Iemi number shows. I'm so confused what could be wrong. It won't work with both ATT or T-mobile. Should work no matter what considering this is an ATT phone.
Hey,
I was playing around with a few Custom ROMS today, and my mobile data stopped working. The APN settings are correct. I have flashed multiple ROMS but no luck. Even stock ICS ROM. I think I have the wrong modem/baseband combination.
My phone show H+ or 3G icon, but as soon as I try to use the internet, it vanishes. Wifi works fine.
Any ideas?
Seems like incorrect apn.. but you already say it's correct..
Try to Flash the stock modem..

Yes the APN is correct.
Could someone possibly tell me which firmware I should flash? I purchased my phone from Pakistan, but I'm not sure which region it is for. Will that make a difference?
Something happening with this phone. I had the same issue a few weeks later.
I tryed almost every modem available unsuccessful. Just my local carier can solve. I didn't known what they did, but solved until now.
Although your apn settings may be correct, they may need updating.
This sometimes happes in the uk.
Maybe if you tried deleting the apn settings out and then ringing your carrier network up, and asking them to sent your correct apn settings to your phone, maybe this could help.
Its not a dead cerainty but always got to be worth a shot mate

Had the same issue with my GS3 (I9300) after switching from those Straight Talk Bastards to AT&T:
Whereas Straight Talk simply f*cked up b/c of a collapse of their data network, so I assume (with nobody at ST saying a word for 2 days, of course.. ), it turned out that AT&T actually had deleted my new account - by mistake - after just one week of 'happy browsing'.
A trip to the local AT&T store solved the mystery and got me up & running again.
Unfortunately, though, it took the AT&T folks a while to figure it out, as they are not used to unbranded/international/ unlocked phones wanting to join their US network. (Don't even try to solve this over the phone, if you have a choice).
Kudos to the AT&T staff, though, as they got the problem resolved eventually. It definitely helped a great deal that my phone had been working just fine on their network just a week ago, so I was able to stand my ground and insist that the problem was at their end.
One of the reps - apparently without a clue - tried to tell me all sorts of BS, e.g. that the I9300 would not work on AT&T; that some Samsung phones supposedly don't work with their network... bla bla blub blub...
Fortunately, I knew better and told him so. Otherwise, he may have successfully gotten rid of me; making me search for the problem someplace else (a.k.a. giving me the run-around or making me chase my tail, etc. :banghead: )
Thanks to xda (and the Internet), however, I had all the knowledge necessary to make sure they get it back to work. Now I'm browsing the web again with 7Mbps Down/3Mbps Up speeds, using AT&T's really fast HSPA+ network here in the Chicago Northern Suburbs (close to O'Hare)... Yay!
Good Luck with finding the problem with your data loss issue!! :thumbup:
P.S.: Let me know if you need my APN settings; just for comparison (.. in case you are in the US, too).
Cheers,
AA

I'm using AT&T Prepaid line on a Galaxy Note 2 Verizon (I605). At the beginning, I used it without any problem around a month. Later on, I started to receive all the calls that beginning with +. It's just adding +, not +1. Let's say I'm receiving call from 9721234567. I see that number +9721234567 on the screen. When I try to call back, It's trying to make international call and it says "you don't have enough money on your prepaid account."
I did factory setting and custom rom many times but still same problem going on. I putted my SIM card to my friend's Note 2 AT&T, the problem is solved.
I wish I can switch to Verizon Prepaid since the phone is for Verizon but I couldn't find out how to do that. If any one knows, let me know please, I'll switch right away. Otherwise I have to solve the problem. Does anyone has an idea why it's happen? I did many research about this but I couldn't find anything. Thank you.
So, no body knows anything about it?

Most people here are using Verizon which uses a totally different network than AT&T which is why you're not getting much response.
If the phone is adding "+" to the number, it thinks you are in a different country. So some things to check:
Settings->Date and time
make sure you are showing the correct date and timezone, and getting them from the network if possible
Settings->More Settings->Mobile Networks
(1) make sure Network Mode is GSM/UMTS for AT&T
(2) check Access Point Name and associated APN data is correct for AT&T - this shouldn't affect voice, but you never know
Just some friendly advice. I know you want an answer, but when people see you bumpin your own thread everyday, they tend not to respond.

So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO
settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode
I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.
Worth a try

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.
