Hi,
so I have an unlocked AT&T G850A that I'm using on T-mobile. When I tried to enable the hotspot, it gave me an error "Mobile data is not available or invalid sim card'. After long research, I learned that i need to root the phone and replace a file. I searched all over the web, but couldn't find root files for the G850A.. I'm currently using PDanet to connect to the internet using a USB, but i really need to get the wifi hotspot working.
IF anyone knows any solutions please let me know.

I am in the same situation but I dont need hotspot on this phone. I remember someone telling me it cannot be done if you are on KK 4.4.4.
But once you update to Lollipop, then the Hotspot will work on T-mobile. I read someone. Maybe someone can confirm.

SM-G850A AT&T Unlock Issue
Hello,
Hope you guys are doing well. I followed the above thread and re-flashed the firmware as recommended. However when I try to enable the mobile hotspot functionality it states that I must contact att to enable hot spot functionality. My carrier is straight talk. I just wondered if they are locking the tether functionality at the sim card level? I was planning on using the hotspot with pda net. I will mention that I left the EFS partition entact since it contains me IMEI info. Not sure if I needed to wipe any other partitions before I flashed this firmware. Thank you guys for all the help.
Thanks,
Coop

Hello,
I just flashed my Rezound (S-Off, HBoot) to the AOKP-Neo1.5-Linaro ROM. Everything works well, but the SIM card is not recognized. I mean that I'm not asked any PIN code when booting my phone, nor later. In consequence, there is no service. In Settings->Security, I can see a field "SIM card PIN" but it is grey, I can't modify it. Sooo... I'm stuck, unless someone knows a way to manually activate a SIM card or something ?
Thank you in advance !
If it works in other ROMs, then you may have a bad sim. Most Verizon reps will replace that for free.

Yes, the SIM card works well with other ROMs and other phones. It is only in this ROM, so I thought the cause would be it...
I flashed a recent firmware (4.03.605.2, found on androidpolice). Back to stock Android+Sense, everything works great, and my SIM card works. For now I stay on it, but if I flash Linaro again, I will update here wether my SIM is recognized or not (who knows, it may interest someone in the future).

I think you better post to that forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1081
You will have more chances to have an answer.
However, after a few researchs, you can read that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906401&highlight=sim+card
Maybe it will help you.
On my side, as I said, I solve my problem by flashing a Stock (~Factory) update to my phone. It updated, among other things, the "radio driver", which is used by the sim card (it's not exactly that, but I prefer let it simple). So in the thread you will post on the first link I gave you, I advise you to mention your hboot and radio (=baseband) versions, that you can usually find in Settings->About phone->Software information (I guess it's not the same path on your tablet though). Also, always mention your Android version and as many details as you can provide when you ask for help.
Good luck !
I have a unlocked Samsung SGH-I747 from ATT its mobile data tethering is not working. Error message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM" appears. I have rooted the phone with SUPERSU. I am a amateur at this I rooted the phone following instructions on youtube and xdadevelopers. Its working fine otherwise.
Could someone help? I don't have internet at home and want to use the simcard to connect. I am using a simcard that allows tethering on a normal smartphone. No problem with the simcard.
Thank you for your help.

When I first got the phone both slots worked. I've rooted the phone and installed some things and may have broke something. SIM2 works but the other slot is broken. I'm on tmobile too.
Feiteng GT-A7100 "Mobile Network Not Available"
Oh, gosh, I'm really stuck. Tried two SIM cards (redpocket/att and spot/t) and either works. Sim cards work with
dumber phones. Really like this phone (ie cool android hardware) other than it won't work as a phone.
I also have suspicion about the IMEI. Bought from everbuying.com. please email vjp2 panix com because I dialup and don't
have broadband. But I will try to get back to forum if someone replies. The Phone sees the SIM card (ie, knows name, and some addresses).
I don't know about all those extra setting with initials (some it has, others not).
But it says the SIM card is disconnected. Took it outside, closer to cel towers. Is it possible the sim cards are too cheap.
I only want talk. I've seen doc this phone is 4 bands, others say 2 bands

i have same problem
1) I noticed one of my sim slots (sim 1) was not detecting the sim card. Error message was something like "no sim card" which is different than "no service". In examining the sim slot, one of the gold pins in the slot was not making contact with the sim card. I took a small safety pin and bent the pin slightly up.
** NOTE ** be careful bending this pin up. If you use too much force, you can snap the pin off and then you would be totally screwed.
I then reinserted the sim card and the phone detected it since the pins were now making contact with the sim card.
2) Another thing I noticed is sometimes I get "no service" even though other times I would get 4 bars of signal strength at the same location. I went to settings and disabled the sim card. Waited about 10 seconds and then re-enabled my sim card. It then seemed to reconnect with the phone network.
My carrier is TMobile.

Hi, i have been trying to find an answer to this after hours of searching i've come up short and confused.
I recently switched from tmobile to verizon, and i paid off my tmobile s9+ and had it sim unlocked. When i put my verizon sim in it, nothing really happens. either it tells me that it can't register on the network or to insert a tmobile sim card.
I have tried using reset and factory reset. I have also tried the method of holding the volume bixby and power and doing a factory reset, then putting the sim in, rebooting, etc. That doesn't work either.
I see several people trying to go from verizon to tmobile, but i haven't been able to find anyone going from tmobile to verizon, and what method i need to do to get this to work, if its possible at all. Any help would be so much appreciated!

That still may not help, remember Verizon is still CDMA and the T Mobile branded phone does not have CDMA bands activated and they may not even be on the phone, I don't know. Granted band 13 should work fine, being LTE, but could the sim be looking for a CDMA radio and that is why it is not working?

The hardware is identical for all US Galaxy S9 phones. Any bands that may be missing will be resolved by flashing firmware. OP could also just stay with U1 if they want unlocked, and all bands would still be there.

As per Samsung chat support, I've asked if the dual sim version (international) will work with Verizon. I've also asked the rep if I can switch carriers with a locked phone. They said that essentially, all phones were manufactured with the CDMA and GSM band compatibility, it just needs to be unlocked and the US versions will work on any carrier in the US and the international version (dual sim) needs to be unlocked and it will work with any carrier in any country.
That said, it seems that you're just having an unlocking issue - which is good and bad. I hope you figure this out. Try using Odin 3.13, get the CORRECT firmware for U1 or U(VZW) to flash your phone

Only one small correction to what they told you: The 965F (international), will not have CDMA capabilities. That might not be a problem on some US carriers. But if you can't get VoLTE working on VZW with 965F, then you're dead in the water, since you don't have 1x CDMA calling to fall back on. It becomes a data-only device. I don't have experience with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the VoLTE doesn't work on US carriers. For GDM/WCDMA carriers, you'd probably be just fine with 965F. Even if VoLTE doesn't work, you'd still be able to call.
Hope this helps.

Step 1
Can you find out the exact model number?
For T-Mobile, it will be one of these :
SM-G965UZKATMB (Midnight Black)
SM-G965UZBATMB (Coral Blue)
SM-G965UZPATMB (Lilac Purple)
The U is the important part, as a previous poster explained that the F models do not have CDMA support (forget what that actually means, just know its necessary for verizon)
Step 2
Next, make sure that the carrier version is correct.
Example: SM-G965UZKATMB
BST Boost
VZW Verizon
ATT ATT
USC US Cellular
ACG C Spire
TMK MetroPCS
VMU Virgin Mobile
TFN Tracfone
XAS Sprint
TMB T-Mobile
XAA Unlocked US
SPR Sprint
CCT Xfinity Mobile
Essentially, you need the firmware that starts with SM-G965U and ends with VZW
Step 3
I'm not 100% sure on how to flash from carrier to carrier but there will be a list of directions. You may need to do some research there to see if it will void samsung warranty (aka 'trip knox') or anything like that, if that matters to you. I think only a modified version of Odin will be able to do this.
Download Odin v3.13.1
Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System & Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will wipe your phone)
HOME_CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will NOT wipe your phone)
Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_OXM if you want to do a clean flash and HOME_CSC OXM if you want to keep your apps and data.
Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode with the following button combo: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a blue box will show up with the COM port number.
Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS'. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot.

Step 4
To download firmwares, google "SAMMOBILE website: /firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965U"
Looks like the latest verizon firmware is here: SAMMOBILE website /firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965U/VZW/download/G965USQS2ARF4/223287

Hey thanks a bunch, I’ll give this a shot when I get home tonight. It very well may be that the rom I got wasn’t the right one. Other threads I’ve read seemed to indicate that everything was universal now and by having the SIM card in the phone while flashing, it would download the carrier specific stuff automatically. That part at least doesn’t appear to be the case since the phone wouldn’t accept it. But I’ll download some of the carrier specifics and see what happens. Thanks again!
Did you get it to work after all?
Sorry that i forgot to update! I did get it working, but it required a bit more discussion and help on a reddit discussion someone started.

Awesome gigatigga - thanks for getting back. I'm on the verge of trying this. I owe some money on my S9 plus on t-mobile but before i paid it off wanted to make sure all is good.
How are the speeds? Everything working ok? Thanks again! :good::good:
Edit: I was all set to do this and during the signup - I found out that my imei wouldn't work in Verizon's system so they used one from another phone. He advised that if I wanted to pay for insurance, if I make a claim it could be an issue because the imei numbers won't match up. Seemed like a big red flag to me. So I didn't go through with it. Wonder how others are handling this?

Can someone help me?
I cannot network unlock a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy 9 plus which has never been active on any plan. When I insert my Verizon SIM card a system notification says "Invalid SIM card. Network Locked SIM card inserted".
I want to bring this phone to Verizon where I have an active plan. I don't have a plan with Tmobile and my friend gifted me this phone. I flashed it to Samsung stock firmware and bought an unlock code from DoctorSim. The code applied successfully however the phone doesn't unlock completely and continues to prompt for the unlock code when I insert the Verizon Sim card. When I called Tmobile they said only a phone active for 40 days on their network can be unlocked using the phone app and that my friend would have to call them to unlock the phone.

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.

Hi, I tried to delete my post since I think I already have my answer.
But anyway, I bought the phone unlocked with Lineage already installed.
