I own a d2xar Galaxy S3 known as the SCH-R530X, and so far, according to the "Test Menu" you access from dial code *#*#4636#*#*, I have the possibility of US Bands (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900), which always returns "Unsuccessful" when I try to select that band, or "Cellular (800-MHz)" which I am able to successfully set. I am running d2vzw's CM12 by Mastamoon, and I have tried d2lte's Paranoid Android, all of which had the same option. I'm attempting to connect to Verizons towers in hopes to connect the phone via StraightTalk. What are the steps to do this?
This model has no SIM slot, either.

Hello everyone.. I am trying to get my WIND sim card to work on my unlocked Note i717r (ROGERS). I successfully installed CMW touch recoveries and rooted the phone (installed superuser), after that installed the modem from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23522477&postcount=306 - (T-mobile SGH-T989 KID). then followed the steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23621077
3. Reboot your phone.
4. Go to Settings
5. Go to Wireless and network
6. Go to Mobile networks
7. Go to Network mode
8. Select HSPA only.
but had to manually search for network to 302490... and this took a while and finally got WIND home.
After a few mins (like 20min) I get back "No service" and when I go to Wireless and network> Mobile Network> Network operator> "No sim card found, please insert sim card"......
Tried the same method on Stock rogers rom 2.3.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657262) and 4.0.4 ICS, also on i717_DTLLF4_CustomCanadian_B2 Rom.
I cannot flash any other rom as it does not allow me to search network manually...
I always factory wipe>wipe cache>wipe dalvik>format system>flash Modem>flash i717_DTLLF4_CustomCanadian_B2
I see some guys have got their Note working on WIND even with custom ROM. Help me getting me to get my WIND sim work on my NOTE i717r. Saw some guys asking for the same question but never got any reply/solution from them or their posts.
I am sure I must be doing something wrong.... I tried blaze 4g, KID,VK1, Leaked ICS T-Mobile SII based Modem.

Hey man, I did the same thing I unlocked a rogers i717 and used it on wind.
I don't use CWM though, Try using TWRP
I flashed my phone with cm9 using TWRP, and used the blaze 4g modem or ics modem.
but i think every other rom i've flashed after that, it automatically connects to wind now :s
after you get the phone to connect to wind, touch "Search automatically", then you wont have to manually search everytime the phone reboots.
Hey xda family. I have a problem. My brother yesterday hard reset his Alcatel Hero 2. When the phone powered on after completion of the hard reset procedure it didn't have any network. With the SIM card inserted it just asks for the SIM PIN, then it does not register on the network. Under settings it says "Mobile Network Type Unknown", and using *#*#4636#*#* to change between the network modes has no impact. I have also tried to upgrade the ROM with Alcatel's own software called Mobile Upgrade S 4.2.2 but it says I have the latest firmware. What can be the problem? And better yet, can anyone suggest any possible solutions. Regards.
I bought a Samsung SCH I545 S4. It was purchased under the assumption that they all come sim unlocked. When I insert my working AT&T SIM card into the phone, I get no service. It shows " SIM card is not from Verizon". When I try to make a call it show "Out of Service Area" and "Mobile Network not available". When I search available networks it shows Verizon wireless, Metro PCS, and T-mobile, No AT&T. I've tried factory reset, hard reset with no change. How can I get this phone functioning again. I am currently on baseband version I545VRUGOC1, Android version 5.0.1. Build number LRX22C.I545VRUGOC1

Hey guys, recently I've got an Alpha SM-G850A which is for AT&T. I live in Iran and the phone has been unlocked to work here, I was trying to get the Android Lollipop 5.0.2 for my phone. so first I tried to get the update from AT&T software update by phone, but it says that there seems to be no updates available for me, nevertheless on the net the guys claim that they've got the update, is it due to my location in Iran and my internet IP? (I used VPN too but again, no updates). I tried to get the firmware from Sammobile.com too, but there were no firmwares detected for SM-G850A. Can someone help please?:good::good:
BTW, I've got the cellular data from my operator, and it works, but I can't select which type I wanna use (2G, 3G or 4G). I mean there's no options in the phone settings to select the data connection type. NEED HELP!

Even tho the phone is working on other networks you will still need an at&t sim card to update it. There is no way around this as far as i know.
Type below code in dialer and select Device information. Now, if you scroll down you will have the option to change network type.
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
Hello all,
It has been awhile since I've been on here. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section (this forum has changed so much over the years).
Anyways, I am currently a T-Mo customer and just got a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy SGH-M819N because I thought I could simply flash a rom that would allow me to use T-Mobile sim card. However, it turns out that it may not be that simple.
Can someone advise whether or not I am able to unlock the sim (without paying it through sites such cellunlocker.net) via flash? If so, would you be kind to direct me to the site or page which gives directions?
Thanks,
eastbay80
oK, i paid
4update:
I am ended buying an unlock code via eBay for $14.99. I enter the code and the phone no longer asks for SIM unlock code BUT now it does not register with any carriers.
i inserted my t-mo sim card into the phone, go to settings, and tried to automatically and manually connect to the tmobile network but keep getting the "unable to connect at this time. try again later" message.
i contacted tmobile via chat and provided imei number and sim card number but was still unable to connect.
i flash backed to stock firmware 4.4.4 and still no luck.
i checked my "device info" and under "phone status" it shows my phone number assigned to the sim card but not connecting to service provider.
Any ideas anyone? Please help.

I am able to connect with the stock Metro PCS apn.
I am also able to use TMO apn as well.
Make sure the apn is correct.
Go to more networks and then mobile network.
