SIM card not found in CM13 - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been able to successfully flash CM13 but during setup it says it can't find SIM card. My phone came with 5.1 so it has the proper modem firmware files. It's a Sprint XT1526. I had to revert to a backup of 5.1 to use the phone features.

Sprint sim? Did you try toggling radio modes with network app? Just throwing out ideas - haven't run into this with my Sprint branded device using the included sim on ringplus. But that device is on an older resurrection remix build.

It appears to detect my sprint SIM however I am in Canada and use a different SIM.
EDIT: Changing the preferred network to LTE/GSM/CDMA doesn't stick.

Are you sim unlocked? It's my understanding (maybe incorrect) that the Sprint version can be used on gsm outside the US, but you'll need to unlock it with the msc code. I got my msc from Sprint via a help chat online, but you can also get it by signing up for ringplus - they give it to you as part of the sign up process.
I've never had a non us sim to test - did you get a prompt to enter the code when you put in the Canadian sim? I don't know how to force the msc prompt.

It's not locked and works fine on stock android. Never needed to enter a code. I also unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.

Oh, gotcha - a SIM that works fine on Stock ROM doesn't work on CM13. I hope someone else can point you in the right direction - I don't know, as I pretty quickly gave up on my Sprint model (left it to languish as an emergency CDMA phone on ringplus free plan) and picked up the USCellular version to use routinely, as the $40 it cost was way cheaper than my time and frustration with trying to get the Sprint model working on ATT.

Hi I'm no one to comment since I don't have the Sprint Variant though I have the unlocked GSM Variant. I have experienced this. Just wait for a while after the first setup. That's what I do and eventually it detects my SIM

You mean wait at the SIM not detected on the setup wizard or after setup? I've had the phone on long enough after setup that if it was going to detect it, it should have already.

Im having the same issue when flashing CM13 on a xt1526. It runs fine on stock w/ a FP global SIM. @DPyro - were you able to get CM13 on ur xt1526?

Never got it working on CM13 so just used Rogers image.

[Q]Verizon GN2 international use

I'm currently using Verizon Galaxy note 2. And I'm going to Korea this summer, but I can not find the site that sells an unlock code for Verizon GN2. So does it mean it's impossible? or is it automatically unlocked when it's made?
And for the putting in the APN config. Can I just go to more settings and add apn?
The SIM is global unlocked already. You can put a local international SIM in and edit the APN information to match the local carrier. Make sure you keep the Verizon APN information though so you can change it back when you get back to the US.

Does the phone has to be rooted and unlocked bootloader? Or is it fine with the original Verizon Galaxy note 2.
Cause I just took it back to the original stock system.
I havent done it myself yet but believe you do not need to be rooted. There is a flashable file with all the apn's already in it but you need root and recovery installed for that. Im sure someone else will confirm

As mentioned above the phone is SIM unlocked already. Voice calls should work with any GSM carrier just by inserting the SIM. For data service provided you are on the latest Verizon release ( 4.1.2 I605VRAMC3 ) go to Settings->More Settings->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and then press menu to add the carriers APN data. You can get the APN info from the SIM provider or google it for that carrier.
If you are on an older Verizon release you need to be rooted then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449

[Solved][Q] S4 service menu/service mode - what ROM has this compiled in?

Hi guys, I have an old S4 that I would like to SIM unlock. The phone is not on my contract so I cannot call up verizon and ask them for the SIM unlock code. I have been doing some reading and if I can get into the service mode or service menu there appears to be a setting to do this.
My ultimate goal is to use this abroad later this year with prepaid SIM cards in different countries.
From my reading, the service codes were blocked by Samsung/Verizon at some point. My questions is what version of Android and what modem allowed service menu access? I have tried KK and L with the MK2 and MDK modems but no go.
*Edit*
I should mention that I have tried the hidden menu enable MOD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905
But, again I think this is dependent on the ROM/Modem version, no?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

OK, have another question. On the MDK radio I was able to SIM unlock the device. If I upgrade the radio to a newer version will I lose the unlocked SIM state?

Looks like the SIM lock state survives a modem flash - I tried flashing NK1 and then back to MDK and it persisted. I did this because now I'm having an issue where my unlocked phone only gets data and cannot make phone calls. Says voice is out of service but data is in service. But SIM in another phone works just fine.
Tried a few things but no go. I'm about to leave the country today so I guess I'll find out when I get abroad and try a GSM SIM, unless anyone has any comments on this.
Thanks, Matt.

[Q] upgraded to Lollipop on Ting (sprint based) - gps, international SIM unlock+...

My Note 3 was pushed the Lollipop upgrade. I avoided clicking OK to give permission but after a week it upgraded by itself (interesting...?)
This is bad news for me as I need international sim unlock - which I got via SUU app on kitkat - but now that doesn't work
Also GPS accuracy has suffered and my widget for turning 'Mobile Data' on/off don't work...now it's a 4 tap process (a reaaaaal pain in the neck)
I can put of with the GPS and 'Mobile Data' widget issue (for now), but I REALLY (!) need international sim unlock (sprint refuses to unlock it!) and SUU app is not working on Lollipop.
It seems a root is my best option(I've never rooted), as well as making sure modems go back to a previous version also (not sure which version). What's my simplest course of action to minimize risk of bricking and do a simple 'one touch' root that will allow me to unlock international sim use (domestic US unlock would be nice also! )
Any help is appreciated or a link to specific thread. (Travelling internationally very soon so need to WORK IT OUT ASAP)
If it was unlocked before, your good to go. Oden the m4j modem and do the rest and the apns. Worked for me.
The GT app will be updated for lollipop so the international unlock will work, says the Dev.
but with lollipop i got an error msg when i used SUU. i assumed it didnt work and theres no safe way to know until youre overseas.
And what did you mean with Oden mj4, and do the rest and the apns? 3 different steps...can you please elaborate. Thx.
And the GT app ?
So it worked for you. And what about domestic sim unlock ?
Thx again, Sammy

I ran the ssu app before lollipop and it " Sticks !" I've odened back to KK to take the Ota lollipop, I've used oden to install lollipop, and have flashed CM 12 none of that undid the unlock.
I am in the US on TMoble network with a ting.com sim and the MJ4 radio with the right apns every thing working great. The rest of the steps are the settings in the HiddenMenu.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305
Easy to do just follow the steps.
The GT app is another program that did/will do the international unlock and a whole lot more. Dev says he's updating it for lollipop.
Thanks for all this.
Does me having a SPRINT note 3 make a difference (as opposed to your t-mobile)
And where did you get the sotck, KK, lolliops and the CM12 roms - here on XDA or elswhere ?
is the MJ4 the same for sprint as it is for t-mobile.
I assume you did the domestic unlock and all works well ?
Thanks again

I'm not sure I understand. You are no longer on Sprint? If you've transferred to another carrier, you still need to use ROMs built for the LS990 as that is still the device you have.

You can set your preferred connection in phone settings, under mobile networks. So any ROM built for LS990 should work.
I have a LS990 on ZV4, official firmware but rooted and unlocked. I am not in the U.S and I'd like to upgrade the phone to official 5.0.1 firmware on ZV8 and still be able to use this SIM. Could you please point me to the right direction on how to proceed? By the way, I'm also getting 'restricted access changed' notification and signal fluctuation using the SIM I'm currently using. Oddly, using other carrier SIMs I don't see that notification. Anyways, suggestions please?

SM-G965F/DS (Partially Unlock Problem)

I got my phone from one of the carriers in the Philippines which is locked. So I decided to try out the unlock method of cellunlocker and here's what happened. First they tried to find an unlock code of my phone via my IMEI and sadly they didn't made it and so recommending me to try the software way and decided to give it a shot (desperately to unlocked my phone) and the procees went smoothly though and yes it unlocked my phone and be able to use any sim card, the problem is that it works only as for Call and Text but sadly Mobile Data isn't working :/ for other sim, mobile data works only with my phone's carrier sim. This thing happens when trying to unlock a device? Is my phone still has a possibility to do a full unlock since asking for an unlock code won't popped out anymore? Or I can't do more any unlock method with my phone? Is this good as dead? yay.
