Hi, I had [ROM][I605VRUFND7][4.4.2]OFFICIAL STOCK ROOTED ODEX/DEODEX[6/13/2014] on my phone for a while and i went out of the country and used [MOD][ROOT] VZW GN2 GSM Unlock - Add APN Data - Remove Non-Verizon SIM Message so i could use that countries sim card which worked.
When i got back i am not able to get any internet with my vzw sim card, but i do get calling reception.
So i flashed back to my old 4.3 rom and i have internet with no problems.
I have tried just about every 4.4 rom i could find and none of them will let me use internet.
So now i dunno what to do, I want to go back to 4.4. does anyone have a clue what i can do to make the internet work again?

Hi all,
My friend attempted to unlock her X10i (not sure how), but basically although the phone boots past the SE logo, it sits on a blank screen with a cross through the network icon when any SIM is inserted.
I have flashed back (various ROMS) with SEflasher and now have the full menu, but it still wont recognise a SIM card. Is there a way to rectify this?
I get the message no SIM recognised when trying to use SETool, so I suspect its screwed something up.
Any Ideas to recover connectivity?
Thanks in advance.

Can you still make any calls? Did you try to? In your network setting can you select your carrier?
Try to go in your APN setting and set them manually. Google your carrier APN setting and input all of them. I am in Rogers and i got around 5 of them for calling, internet, SMS, MMS, etc.
When done put your phone in Plane mode, wait a bit and put on 3G or wtv you use. See if it works. If not set them up and restart the phone.
You can also use this program: APN Backup&Restore. If you can roll back to a rom where it works or if a friend has Droid phone and is on the same network, install the app there, run it and backup the APN settings.
Then install that same app on your phone via FlashTool and put the backed-up file on your phone (SD Card) and use that app to restore the APN settings.
See if that works. I had a problem where i didnt have internet connection but could still make calls, use that manual setup/app and it worked for me.
Let me know if it works.

check baseband plz !!! which method did u follow to unlock ur x10????
she messed up the service menu of the sim which only telecom operators should use. sadly, now she gotta get a new sim card.
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,
I am on t-mobile network, my problem is that i don't seem to get EE network on my S3, it will change the between t-mobile n orange not ee. When I insert sim into iPhone then I will get EE network. I have tried unrooted n rooted but no EE.
Now when am on t-mobile network my Internet is really good but as soon it's moves to orange network then Internet is really really slow, I mean 34kbps.
I have contacted t-mobile n tried everything but no luck.
Is this something to do with S3?? Anything I can do? Any advice appreciated

I'm on t mobile/Orange through t mobile, Orange signal is rubbish, never gets h or h+, but as I'm on t mob, it reverts to them by preference I think, only switching to Orange when it looses signal.
I used to be on Orange, and then I always had to go into settings and select network (choice of EE or EE!) So it's a bit hit and miss.
I also sometimes get it showing as t mob in notification draw, and sometimes EE, all very confusing.
EE sucks!!! Nothing wrong with your phone.... I've got Orange and 3UK. With the second one I'm more than happy. Download up to 26Mbps!
I never get EE on my S3....do you ever get EE?
Also is there an easier way to swap networks?

Are y you with orange or t mobile?
I'm with Orange and I've never had a problem in having H+ my carrier signal mostly shows EE.But isn't that all it is? a re branded carrier signal from orange and T-Mobile?
It's weird cos I get EE network when I put sim into iPhone
T mobile
Why is it that I don't get EE anywhere? Also I do get H+ but Internet is awful... Am thinking it's something to do with my S3 or firmware, radio etc

Are you on latest mb5? Are you locked and branded?
Also don't about it displaying ee or not, the other thing you could try is go to tmob website and get the apn settings sent to your phone, they may need updating
Sorry don't know about mb5? How do I find out? Plz
Unlocked n unbranded
I have done t-mobile website but apn setting does NOT come over to my phone for some strange reason... I have entered ee apn setting manually but still no EE network. I am not fussed what network it is on as long as I can get Internet!
Currently limited Internet on orange n full on t-mobile.
Download mb5 here. http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/7693/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/BTU/I9300XXEMB5.html
Flash with Odin, this is the latest UK unbranded
Once you've flashed the MB5 modem & matching RIL, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network operators and make sure 'select automatically' is chosen.
Then go back to mobile networks, access point names and delete all the APNs listed. Then create a new APN but only complete these fields; name: Everywhere APN: Everywhere
Reboot the phone and you should have a better experience.
You can also find a CWM flashable MB5 modem & RIL in kamalmawa's thread:

I already have that installed..xx mb5
Am also rooted on vanilla rootbox... Is that a problem?

Have you contacted to your operator it could be helpfull also
Yes.... As far as they concerned everything is fine.
Also bear in mind that the network is undergoing a lot of engineering at the moment due to the marrying of the two networks and the LTE network introduction, but for me Orange has always been rubbish so I just select t mob and live with the pain of selecting the network occasionally if it gets hung on Orange

So I just download above mb5 n install via CWM? What about RIL? How do I install that? Will I to unroot or just installing stock rom?

Just flash the zip in recovery, the RIL is included and it will even backup your existing modem. No need to play with root or the ROM, as long as your current ROM is rooted.
Thanks, will try
I had my S2 unlocked via software while I was abroad to use the local SIM card - the person who did it couldn't unlock it, first blaming the phone as rooted and then hardware as damaged. Instead they made it worse, the phone doesn't connect to any network, whatever SIM card I use. At the time I was using a rooted custom ROM (Rootbox) v4.2.
I found if I use a stock ROM, even if rooted, it connects to phone networks and is unlocked to any SIM card. As you may know, the S2 can only upgrade to v4.1.2 if stock.
I have been going around in circles trying different kernels and ROMs. I would rather use v4.2 than stick with v4.1.2... Rootbox v4.2 used to work fine before trying to unlock the phone.
I have used the 'GalaxSim Unlock' app, in case the unlock process was only partial. I also tried to find if I could relock the phone back to the original network, by removing the EFS folder.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you in advance.
Phone was originally SIM locked to T-Mobile.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Or has had it happen to them in the past?
The IMEI number is still intact.

Did you wipe everything before you flashed?

Hi, I tried to delete my post since I thought I already had my answer.
But anyway, I bought the phone unlocked with Lineage already installed.
And it worked great for a week with my SIM card from my OEM AT&T S4 phone that developed problems.
Then the Linage phone lost Network access, so no internet or email etc unless connected to WiFi.
But even though it "shows" Access to the AT&T Network, phone still only has phone calls and text access.
I called AT&T and their Tech tried to fix the Network connection .. but failed.
Then, according to them, my SIM card is not compatible with my phone and sending me a new SIM card that "should" be compatible.
My thoughts are why it was working fine with my SIM for a week, but now it's not.
And if I activate the New SIM and that doesn't help, my Original one will have been de-activated.
UPDATE:
Received new SIM card and after activating it, still no Network access when not on WiFi.
Then spent hours with Tech support while they accessed the phone trying to get Network access when not on WiFi.
They put a Ticket in and get back to me if they find a way to fix it.
So after all that, I put the new SIM back in the Original Phone with Touch wiz problems and everything works even though Touch wiz is still messed up.
Not sure what changed with the Lineage os phone, if anything, or if it has something to do with the Lineage os itself.
Thanks in advance for any info.
