I finally got sick of having a locked bootloader, so I bought an unlocked Tmobile running nk2, rooted it, and cleaned up the bloatware with Titanium Backup. Now I'm looking at putting together a list of tips for using a G900T on AT&T. I've created the appropriate APN settings. If anyone with experience on this could weigh in with some things I should look out for or do proactively, it would be useful not only to me but to other AT&T users looking to get away from the AT&T locked bootloader. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Working APN settings
Here are the APN settings that are working great for me on AT&T. To set these, go to SETTINGS / MORE NETWORKS / MOBILE NETWORKS/ ACCESS POINT NAMES. Either create a new one using the "+" or edit the one you are using already.
NAME: smartphone
APN: phone
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
USERNAME: not set
PASSWORD: not set
SERVER: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: not set
APN TYPE: default,mms,supl
APN PROTOCOL: IPv4
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPv4
TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on
BEARER: unspecified
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR TYPE: none
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set
The two items TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on and MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set are ghosted out so I was unable to change them. In APN TYPE you should enter the information without any spaces after the commas.
How to root if your Tmobile s5 is already updated to nk2 or nh5
I used the instructions found here and it was super effective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-s5-firmware-knox-0x0-t2909352
Note: if you're not familiar with PC Odin, it will be good news to you that you don't have to install it. Just unzip it into a directory with the INI file and run it.
Good Post! I could have used this four months ago when I jumped to AT&T from T-Mo. I have not had any problems. The only thing I can think of is that I disabled wifi calling. I have had good success running international ROMs on it. I'm currently on BobCat Romhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bobcatromevov1-0ota-update-t2836665 ...Excellent...
I'm running Omega on my TMO S5 on AT&T. My APN is a little different but I've also tried the one posted above and get about the same results with either. The only other thing I did was download AT&T's Visual Voice Mail app. It's a great way to handle voicemail messages.
+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number
This is a problem that pops up for those of us who have started using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T--you start getting repeated texts that say "+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number". The problem appears to be brought about when you use a phone from one carrier on another carrier.
I found a fix for this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/error-invalid-text-reboot-t2865399
Short version: turn off/disable the visual voicemail app.
Here is the relevant text from that page:
PROBLEM: I recently switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, bringing over my unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (not rooted, running stock android, got the SIM unlock code from T-Mobile). After fiddling with the APN settings everything seems to be working fine, except every time I reboot I get the following text message:
From: +1121611611
122 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Activate:dt=15
Any ideas? I first saw this error text the first time I rebooted my phone after switching the SIM card to AT&T, and I get the same text whenever I reboot my phone now.
SOLVED: This was being caused by the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Disabling the app fixed the problem.
Sticky this maybe?
Mods, do you think this is worth getting "sticky" status?

Thanks for the input. Flashing a ROM may be more advanced than I can address here, and may be more advanced than some of the people just looking for a "how do I get this working?" thread.
How to turn off WIFI calling
2.Tap Settings.
3.Scroll to 'NETWORK CONNECTIONS,' then tap More networks.
4.Tap the Wi-Fi Calling Switch to Off.
I also used Titanium Backup to freeze:
T-Mobile My Account
T-Mobile Name ID
T-Mobile TV
Visual Voicemail

I've been my old AT&T SIM carrier on a new TMob S5 for about two weeks -- It's rooted and has Custom Recovery. I froze about 100 Bloats w/ Titanium Backup - installed Wanam to tweak it - and am getting an amazing +/- 0.5%/Hr battery usage on Stock 4.4.2!!! (No gaming or social networking, etc) So, I'm VERY pleased and also chose this route to get away from AT&T's bootloader lock policy.
Only one question: I notice an image of a fliptop phone on my AT&T account page. It used to show a pic of my S3. Is there some file I can edit on the phone to get it to show up as an S5 ? Maybe the build.prop or something?

My AT&T profile also shows a random flip type phone. It must simply be a result of using a non-AT&T phone. I haven't bothered trying to change it.
I'd LOVE to be able to put a caption on the AT&T site with a pic of the S5, something like "TMobile - S5 - Unlocked Bootloader"
(I've got a somewhat sick sense of humor)

I too got tired of the 900A having a locked bootloader. My buddy recently left Tmobile for Verizon so he had 2 S5's lying around gathering dust. Bought them from him. Sold my ATT S5 on ebay and haven't looked back. Actually still have one that I'm not using. If anyone is interested. Was gonna list it on ebay, but would rather have someone who knows the struggle of a locked bootloader get their hands on it.

GEEEEEEEZ -- and I thought the "feature" of having a locked bootloader was to prevent someone from stealing it LOL (That's probably what some folks believe -- that it's a wonderful upgrade to provide more "security" enhancements for your own good . . ., or whatever . . .)
I'm just finding a lot of new "features" and "up" grades annoying . . . and feeling a little crotchety this morning

I'm trying to use my iPad sim (converted into a regular sim card) in my note, but I am unable to use the APN "broadband". Everytime I create that APN, it will automatically delete it off the list. It seems like AT&T is blocking that APN from being used. Is this possible, or a way around this?
Thanks
Try using "phone" as the apn
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
the only apn ipads have is broadband.... some older prepaid unlimited ones have isp.cingular as the apn
yeah...only APN iPads can use is "broadband". Anyone know how to bypass this?

Are you rooted? I don't have an answer, but I suspect the solution involves being rooted and freezing an AT&T management .apk that is deleting any APNs that you add.

Yes, I am currently running TPC NOTE V2.
My first contribution to the forum
I got the ATT Note last weekend off second hand, so no contract.
I want to use it primarily as a tablet with data plan (google voice can serve as phone if needed). So I want to try iPad data plan.
I got my iPad sim activated for a monthly plan, but as members noted, that for some reason, the new APN setting can not be saved for some reason (can we blame ATT?). So you can not use the iPad sim directly.
I tried couple of ways, and finally figured out how to do it on my Note:
(1) Create the new APN as previously instructed (call it "iPad" or whatever), with "phone" as the APN setting. Save it.
(2) On the APN list, select the new one, so the default AT&T PTA is grey out, and the new one ("iPad") is on.
(3) Now, change the APN from "phone" to "Broadband" (Sorry I forgot this important step last night!)
(4) Then, instead of saving the change (which would fail), I jumped out of the setting and go straight to home, then web browser to click a link. It might give you an error the first time, but when I clicked the link again, it would eventually start working, and the 4G icon showed up on the top menu.
I wen back to APN setting. Found the new setting "iPad" was gone. However, I did notice the default APN setting (AT&T PTA) remained grey out (not selected).
So, it seems if you force off the default setting, you can go straight to 4G network with iPhone's data plan.
I disabled the cellular network and reactivated it. The connection still worked, so hopefully it will last.
[Update]: Sorry I forgot the important step (3). I tried again, and the whole process works. Yes, I have the phone unlocked already for T-Mobile use (paid $25 online to get the unlock code. Not sure if it is necessary for AT&T data sim card, though).
i think
I think your note has to be unlocked .thats only way
iPad Sim
I am using iPad SIM in note and its working fine. I don't get LTE but HSPA Speeds. I picked new SIM from AT&T Store for my iPad and activated under different email now using it with $30 3GB Plan. I have 'broadband' as apn. My note is unlocked running SAUROM RC 6. I had issues with RC 7 so reverted back.

It just can't be on an AT&T based rom. Since Saurom rom is based off of Rogers, the apn "broadband" will work. Has nothing to do with unlock, it's the software that prevents you from using that APN.

You are now able to use LTE on the note since AT&T now has a plan for the "New iPad". You just need to change the plan in the online management. Just change the IMEI to the "New iPad". The APN will still be broadband.
I found a IMEI from some person selling it on eBay

Thanks much for this ....I could not find any other solution so far.....I appreciate you writing this. It works.
I've done some searching and didn't happen to run across anyone that was having a similar problem. Originally, I thought this might be a StraightTalk/Verizon issue, but I've confirmed that one of my family members with ST T-Mobile can text with Verizon folks just fine. So let me dive into the details...
I've had my StraightTalk T-Mobile sim card for about a week now. I activated it without any problems, set up the APN and everything seemed to be working just fine. I've been texting with a few family members and some co-workers without issues. My data and voice calls are all working fine as well.
I went to text a friend that has Verizon post paid service and he never got my text. So I sent a few more without success, then tried to text my own Verizon number (since my account is still active for the moment) and I never received my own text either. He sent me a text message that I received just fine though, but again he didn't get my response. Just to further test, I send an MMS message to myself and my friend on Verizon and that came through just fine, so it appears that all texting capabilities work with the following carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, ST T-Mobile) with the exception of regular SMS to Verizon.
Here are my APN settings:
Name: StraightTalk T-Mobile
APN: wap.tracfone
Proxy: Not set
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http:**mms.tracfone.com (replace ** with //, since I can't post links)
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Texts aren't immediate when the network is busy. Sometimes the delay can be several hours.
None of my Verizon messages are ever delivered, some from 3-4 days ago. I called Straight Talk tech support and they are tracing some of my messages. One of the things they thing might be wrong is the message center number that is configured in my phone but they didn't want to change it until after they could do further research.
Update: Confirmed the smsc is correct, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.

I hope I am not intruding here, but this thread is the closest to what I am looking for (stock) and I figured that any one of you could probably answer this question.
I do not have direct access to the phone and need to pass this on to my son, so please dont skip any steps, assuming knowledge. I have never even held an HTC phone yet. My son absolutely loves it though and has me intrigued. ?
Anyway, he has an "HTC One" that he purchased here in the USA, at a T-Mobile store.
I know that with my Samsung, there is not only the Samsung line name (Note 2), but there is also a specific Model # that Sprint puts into the phone (in my case, SPH-L900). And then, even from there, it divides up further into US & International versions, each with its own model #, even within the same carrier.
I am thinking that maybe it is the same for the HTC One line?
My son looked in the Info" screen, but all it says is "HTC One" and nothing else.
Please, where should he go to find this information?
Or is this not relevant in the HTC world?
He wants to stay with the Factory ROM, but Root it. I know applying the wrong tools can quickly brick a phone.
Can someone help me with this please? Once I have the right tool, then I can take it from there. Thanks!

And it seems i dont even connect to data till I added another APN called T-Mobile data but ive since erased it and still shows connected but I get the proxy error.

Has that SIM worked successfully in any android phone? Might be as easy as calling tmobile and having them reprovision your SIM. Everything above looks correct for an unmodified apn.

The only other two things I can think of that might work are go into the APN settings and click 'reset to default' reboot and see if it works. And try registering on another carrier in the network operators menu - you should get an error that your SIM isn't supported and then manual re-register on T-Mo.
I sim unlocked my htc m8 and am now using a tmobile sim card. 4G network, calls, sms everything works just fine. However, i am not able to send/receive mms. I called t-mobile for help, and they told me to change my apn setting, which i did. And that only fixed my problem with 4g data(i initially had problem with both 4g data and mms) No matter what i try for apn setting, MMS won't send.
My current apn setting is: apn:fast.t-mobile.com
mmsc: mms,msg,eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mms protocal: wap2.0
mcc:310
ncm:260
apn type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms
everything else is not set. I really don't understand why would mms not work if both 4g data and individual sms works.
Anyone have an idea?
Did you figure out how to fix the mms yet?

I have had the same issue. 4gLTE works just fine. I have ATT visual voicemail working. I just cant seem to get over the MMS issue.
I switched the hangouts today and that works just fine for sending and recieving MMS. What's weird is it also records what is being sent and recived into my HTC Messages app as well. However, when I disable hangouts and try to send MMS direct from HTC messages, no luck?

For AT&T HTC M8 Unlocked "T-Mobile User's" Only!
For those that might not have figured it out yet: Backup your current telephony.db file and Replace it.. Unzip and Copy the file attached to: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with ES File Manager (Any Root Browser Should Work) then Reboot and wait till you get Data, make sure you can browse the interweb and test sending a photo to yourself!
This was achieved on my Stock Rooted AT&T Unlocked HTC M8 on T-Mobile!
Backing up stuff is always Good! Recovery and a Good Root File Manager are your friends!

Try installing SQLite Editor, Navigate and find that same file in the directory I lead you to in my first post, click on the file, there you should see a bunch of APNs/Setting.. Delete them All! They might have to be deleted one by one.. Go back into your APN Settings on your phone and add the T-Mobile APNs and you should be good to go after a reboot! I don't have the M8 anymore but, I'll try helping as much as possible!
I have Tmobile service also, does LTE work on the ATT M8 with tmobile sim?
Does it have all the bands to run without any problems?

Are you rooted? Because you need to be to view or modify those files.
Also, in ES File Manager settings, you need to toggle "Root Explorer" to ON. Although, even with it OFF I believe you should still be able to view the files (just can't modify them). So I think your main problem is no root.
Well, I finally fixed my problem with not being able to send or receive MMS.
I have a AT&T M8 that recently switched over to T-Mobile. I decided to root, s-off, and changed over the developer edition ROM. I was even able to get OTA update after it was done.
I am ecstatic and exhausted after the process but seeing that I was able to get ride of that annoy AT&T boot up music was all worth it. :good::victory:
Now my follow up question is this. I now have a rooted phone with S-off. Should I worry more about security in the future? I typically only download from the Play store but I believe that there are a lot of junk out there as well. Should I lock my bootloader since I won't be doing anything like this the future?
All feedbacks are appreciated.
Please check your inbox. Thanks.

Extremely Curious to know how you solved the problem!
Hi,
I have an unlocked ATT M8 as you do. I'm in canada trying to get the darn mms working on the rogers canada network. No luck. Ive pondered de branding my phone and loading a WWE version on the cell, but I dont entirely know what I'm doing with that. Would you mind providing some direction, even if pointing me to relevant online posts that you used to learn how to do it correctly?
Appreciate any support.
Cole
PS. CONGRATS on getting mms running!

That person stated how they solved it. He flashed the Dev Ed ROM, which I believe natively supports both the AT&T and T-Mobile network. But this won't help you (Rogers).
Did you try the proper Rogers APN and still having MMS issues?

Thanks for the response. I have tried all the rogers apn settings, had a friend with an actual rogers m8 screen shot the settings with no success. Attempted adding mms specific apn settings as recommended by tier 2 rogers support. Again, no luck.
At this point I believe my only options are to try CM or see if there is a ruu toolkit that will work for rogers. To be honest, aside from one click root, im out of my depth.

I'd still keep trying with the APNs. Make sure with the carrier which APN is associated with your account, as there may be several. AT&T for instance has some 3 or 4 different APNs.
Rogers doesn't have any RUUs for this phone, as far as I am aware I don't see how CM will help, unless the ROM specifically supports Rogers and will have the proper Rogers APN pre-configured (or other things like build.prop). You may have better luck trying to find the stock Rogers ROM, or have another member here upload it for you.
I need to get my Data and calls working with this Verizon S5.
I bought it at an authorized T-MOBILE dealer without realizing it was a Verizon model.
They unlocked it but obviously didn't do it right. The Verizon Internet APN is still showing but cannot remove and cannot delete. Data and calls do not work when adding T-Mobile APN info, either. I have a constant message along the top saying "This SIM card is from an unknown source". I get a similar message when trying to make phone calls. Sometimes they will go through but only intermittently.
I want to know.....
Can I put a T-Mobile ROM on my SM-G900V without bricking it and get Data and calling back? Has this been successfully done before? Links? Any idea on how to get the Verizon S5 working properly on the T-Mobile network at all?
The guys at the store are idiots, will not help, screwed me over saying i signed some kind of doc agreeing to a 72 hour return policy, not a 14-day return policy... My fault for not reading the fine print, yes... But their intentions were to screw people over from the beginning. Makes me want to just "RAAAAAAAWWR"
********EDIT**********
I did find a thread in the QnA by searching for "Unlock" and he has successfully put a t-mobile ROM on it, so why does his data work and mine doesn't ??? Any ideas?? I cannot completely test the theory at the moment because i'm at work but i am posting this in case anyone knows why the data would not work. I'm in the process of contacting Verizon directly to see if they have anything of use, but i doubt it.
That sounds like your device isn't actually unlocked.
Just flashing a different carrier firmware don't unlock the phone from my understanding.
Verizon s5 (and s4) are carrier unlocked. I use both on T-Mobile with no issues
I have done this with 2 iPhone 5s's, an i545 Verizon S4 (which I loved), a N900V Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and now on an SM-G900V Verizon S5. All are carrier unlocked out of the box and work with T-Mobile. There are a few caveats.
For the android devices, here is what you can do without obtaining root:
1. if you remove your Verizon SIM and put in the T-Mobile SIM calls should work without any change except you need to be in global mode. In settings, change settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ to global.
2. To get data working, go to settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/access point names and edit the T-Mobile settings. The name does not matter, but the APN should be fast.t-mobile.com
3. To get MMS you have to change a few other settings (but leave all others unchanged):
MMSC should be http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC should be 310
MNC should be 260
APN Type should be default,mms/supl,dun
4. You can't remove the "SIM is from an unknown source" message without root. I believe you can stop the message by holding the notification until you find the app info, and then force stop it. But it will return after any reboot.
If you are willing to root your phone (I used Towelroot), in addition to the above you can:
5. Remove the message about the SIM by freezing "Setup Wizard 1.0" using Titanium Backup
6. Using the app "Advanced Signal Status" you can set your phone to LTE/GSM only so it no longer looks for CDMA service
Summary: Changing Verizon S4, Note 3 and S5 phones (as well as the iPhones) to T-Mobile service is not difficult. I switched carriers completely for my entire 5 line contract without changing phones. I now have unlimited data on 4 of the 5 phones (one user does not need much), and my monthly bill is half of my old Verizon service. Yes - HALF.

It works, but may loose a bit of benefits when it comes to Network, since the Verizon doesn't have all T-Mobile bands, but close enough.

i will verify everything he said above as true as i have done the same. i can also verify that you flash a tmobile rom (be sure not to flash any baseband/modem or any other partition) and you can get VoLTE to work etc... The only thing missing is the 2100 MHz radio which means HSDPA+ will not work in all areas but that is a hardware limitation.

The Verizon SM-900V does support the 2100MHz radio, Band 4 just has to be enabled. I followed these instructions to get it working properly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582747
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530523
Notes: It says it's for the Note 3, but it does work on the Galaxy S5. You will need to use the stock ROM with the stock dialer for this to work.
I was wondering, can you point me in the right direction to a good T-Mobile ROM to try out, that you know will work properly on the 900V? It will have to work on the stock NE9 or NI2 firmware. I just don't have a whole lot of time to test between studying and taking all of these MIT online courses. I can tell you that it really sucks having a locked bootloader though Lol. Thanks in advance!
Where are you guys finding that Android Data Tool? I don't see it on the play store...by any chance, can someone post the apk?
