Certificate failed. How f'ed is this? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Got this on a trade. I opened up browser and it seems previous owner was looking up on how to retrieve msl. I opened up the service menu and it says cert failed. I odined back to full stock and even did the 727 key pad and it still says the same thing. Does a Sim card have to be inserted to even connect to the sprint network? It has no bars with the little x over the antenna. Is there anything I van do with this phone? Its on nc5 and imei is different from what's on the housing but both read clean and register as sprint note 3. Maybe LCD was replaced?

Did you activate this device with Sprint ? If so, have you tried to update your PRL and a reboot after you odined back to stock ? A sim card is for international use.

Flash Note 2 back to verizon

I am trying to purchase a verizon note 2 from a guy, but he used it in Guam on IT&E telecom. He had to change the SPC and used it solely on CDMA while there. I'm trying to get it to work back on the VZW 4g network, but can't find a great guide on getting it back....
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get it to recognize the verizon network again? Putting a SIM in just sits at the activate screen and never activates..
Verizon checked the ESN and it is clean.
Thanks

I wish I could help you more bit that's the only thing I can think of. Me personally I would just take it to Verizon. If it has a clean esn they should be able to activate it.
By the way when you meet up, it's under settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode.

If it has the latest update, VRAMC3, then all you have to do is flash the Root66 or alternate recovery ROM. If that doesn't fix it I would suggest flashing Root66 with the NAND Earase checked.
If its on VRALJB or VRALL4 then you can flash the VRALJB or VRALL4 .tar's in Odin and be done with it.
You need to read Droidstyles guide in the Android Development section, it will explain everything you need to know about going back to stock, its in section 1B I believe.

hi! I bought a Sprint Note 3 on Ebay. to make a long story short, phone is global. when dialing *#06#, it was giving me a MEID. it has a sim slot even tough it's with sprint witch is a cdma carrier. I called sprint and they give me a 6 digits code, telling me it's the unlock code. after a few research on google and messing around in the phone, I now get a IMEI number after dialing *#06#.
when dialing ##0011#, i see NETWORK: UNBLOCK. the phone work on the same frequncies as my carrier I'm trying to unlock the phone to. but I never found the key pad where to enter the unlock code to actually unlock the phone (supposed to restart the phone with the wrong sim card and a "please enter unlock code" prompt should appear, but not me). I used it to get in the data hidden menu (##3282#), and that it. my sim card does not work, and I'm out of options...
Somebody knows what to do?

Unlocked N3- don't count on using it abroad for data

So apparently there is a problem with using data abroad with another provider's sim. The Acces Point setting is unable to be changed. I was told the S4 had the same problem which just recently was fixed by Samsung in a firmware update.
Nice.... Was really counting on this feature sitting here in Barbados and next week in Spain..
Any gurus here who can fix this?

The 90 day thing is for the phone. If it hasn't been active for 90 days they open a case and call you in 24-48 hours depending on their work load. I had mine unlocked the day after release. It can be done from the international chat. It's different than the regular chat.

This describes how you can Flash Sprint Note 3 to Reliance/Cricket/Metro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521369
Getting MSL is really easy using application SPCUtility.apk
http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk
Now have anyone tried to take note 3 with GSM SIM unlock code outside of the US and use it with a foreign SIM?
Do you need to mod the build.prop? Why do you need to if you can access APN menu without it?
also someone above said: "but without spc cant possible to unlock it for GSM carrier."
How can you unlock GSM with SPC? just for international use of for US carriers as well?
You can acces the APN menu but you can't change anything without the build.prop change...

ok, I see the "+" button goes to the "add APN" but everything is grayed out so it can only be used to switch between existing APNs but not adding a new one.
However I've just tried to use APN manager Pro and I was able to add an APN without modding the build.prop
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation&hl=en
Also from my experience with traveling with modded Sprint's Note 2, it is easier to download xml file with huge database of APNs and inject it with APN manager pro. Some lists are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35753093&postcount=3
I've attached my backup that can be restored with APN manager pro
This way when you insert a SIM card it automatically pics up a correct APN.

Sim Card Issues

I recently purchased a note 3 and I didn't have a sprint sim for it. I ordered one and inserted it but I still get the notification "No SIM". I've rebooted the phone and checked to make sure the SIM Card is in correctly. What do I do.

Either your SIM is bad or your reader may be faulty. I know sellers like to sell phones without the SIM in it to hide a failed SIM reader.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm fairly sure the SIM Card Reader is functional because I put a Verizon sim in originally to try to remove the notification. I will switch the Sims for my note 3 and 2. To find out if my sprint sim is faulty. I'm doubtful but best to check
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
OK just checked the sprint sim card is functional as I get a non Verizon sim notification in my note 2 and when I put the Verizon sim in the note 3 I get invalid sim so this means the sim reader is functional on the note 3 and the sprint sim card is usable. What's going on then

I'd still try another Sprint SIM. When you get the replacement one MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM IT'S FOR A NOTE 3!!! As far as I know, there's different SIM cards for different devices. A SIM from an iphone 4s won't work in a Note 3.

I'd still try another Sprint SIM. When you get the replacement one MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM IT'S FOR A NOTE 3!!! As far as I know, there's different SIM cards for different devices. A SIM from an iphone 4s won't work in a Note 3.

Even if it's programmed for the same number?
I can give you the link for the sim I got. As far as I know it's the only sprint sim out there that I could find. Would It be possible to flash the note 3 to Verizon, At&t, or T mobile. If it would be easier than getting a new sim.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter. I could be wrong. But from my experience the SIM model number does matter. The model number varies amongst the various Sprint devices and I recall what worked for one phone didn't work for another.

So wait....you're trying to flash? It's unable to be unlocked to GSM. If you flash the device you don't need the SIM. The SIM is ONLY for 4g LTE. If you flash you won't get LTE, and therefore you don't need the SIM and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know how to flash the baseband.

Huh?
You lost me. I just want the notification gone. I'm trying to use the note 3 as a media device not a phone as of now. If I could flash it might remove my error. I don't know if it's even possible. Not worried about the LTE till late when I may or may not use the note 3 as a phone. Data charges get me. But if there's a way to fix the sim issue with no flash that would be ideal. But if not its alright I can probably flash or try order yet another sim. Or try to find another solution.

I think someone found out how to remove the no sim notification by editing something in the build.prop. But honestly, it doesn't even do anything. You can still use the phone on Wi-Fi and you can get it flashed to use talk/text/mms/3g.

You'd need to root the phone and get some kind of file explorer. It's not that hard. The most difficult part will be finding what to edit/add to the build.prop file.
Throw the Sprint sim in the trash...or burn it.

I had a problem with the SIM card from a Note 3 that I bought on Swappa. My problem was that my phone would not switch to 4G LTE. It gave me some EHRPD error and occasionally a no SIM card found error.
The way I fixed this is I wrote down the serial number off the card itself then contacted Sprint via chat support. The number on the card was different than the number Sprint had assigned to my phone. They changed the number to the number of the card I had, rebooted my phone and the problem was fixed. Now I have 4G LTE and no longer get a no SIM card detected error.
I suggest writing down the number from your card, contact Sprint via chat and have them change the number of your card to your phone. That might fix it for you. How this helps!
Why not just take a trip to the Sprint store. They should be able to fix your issue.
