hi all
Can i change rom vs990 to h960a?
i live in Poland and my gsm operator is Orange not Verizon
Phone is branding Verizon and the range of the phone is limited
Works only on
Network mode LTE/GSM/UMTS-----(Global and LTE/CDMAnot working lose its range completely)
Network sub-network UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+only-------(LTE/Legacy3GPP multi and GSM/GPRS/EDGEonly makes it lose its range completely :/ )
After the purchase the phone had branding Tmobile and all everything worked well but rushed hardbrick and i must change software.
When the phone is turned on, it pops up <Unfortunately, LG VPN was stopped> and <This SIM card is not part of the Verizon Wireless network>
Anyone help me? :/

Hi guys, noob here, just got my first android phone (been with blackberry till now).
I got a chinese X12 dual sim phone because i really needed only 1 phone (had to carry around 2 of them).
Phone works great, only problem is with the mobile networks. It can connect to GSM networks but it won't connect to a 3G network. The phone has 3G capabilities, 3G is enabled for the required sim, it finds the 3G network but it will not connect to it.
Sim works fine, had it in a Samsung i900 on 3G (WCDMA) - i live in Europe.
The thing that surprises me most is that the phone came with android 4.0 instead of the 2.3.6 it was advertised, could this be the problem?
Data Enabled ?! have access points ?!

yes, data is enabled on it, as for the access points it has them too (althought i am only trying to connect to the voice network, not the data network)
Tried one more thing which is wierd: the phone works ok with another 3G sim from another provider, but with the other sim it doesn't connect (but it finds the actual network). And the sim that won't connect works on my old phone (the samsung i900)
The first sim that works on 3G on my new phone is from Vodafone (and they have both GSM and WCDMA in my country), while the other sim that doesn't work is from a provider that only has 3G (for both voice and data).
Quick update:
i found out i also get an "error" : invalid IMEI for both sims - it was this way when i first got the phone...
really strange thing with this phone, in settings > about > it says android version 4.0 but when it starts it has the honeycomb logo...
would appreciate any help, if it's from the missing imei's that would be good (or bad, depending on how hard is that to fix).
You can call ##778# to get into those settings. But be careful, those can really screw up your phone if your not careful.
The only reason i can think of, is if your phone only supports certain UMTS bands, while your operator is using different ones. Check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands.
For example, my previous phone HTS Nexus One came in two versions - one for ATT(UMTS 850/1900/2100) and another for T-Mobile(UMTS AWS/900/2100). Both were GSM, both had 3G, but 3G would not work on another operator.

phone has only WCDMA 3G network - i tried it on different carriers (on 3G and not GSM) and it works fine, connects to 3G, it just won't connect to this specific network (although it finds the network there, so i guess it has the hardware to connect to it).
could this be from the lack of the IMEI ?
FIXED !!!!
Got it fixed, the problem was with the missing IMEI codes, put them back in, works like a charm.
I used the tutorial here:

Thanks for all the replies you guys.
Recently I owned an LG L70 for MetroPCS and I purchased an unlock code from an online service which worked as expected - to clarify, the unlock code I purchased was the SIM unlock code which allowed me to make use of the L70 with T-Mobile. The thing about all that was that T-Mobile owns MetroPCS and I, being out of touch for a bit, didn't realize that the MetroPCS version of the L70 is carrier or service provider locked to MetroPCS itself and wouldn't work properly even with T-Mobile which provides the network access to MetroPCS in the first place.
So, on top of having the traditional SIM network lock there's also a service provider lock on top of that, at least with the MetroPCS L70.
Now it seems this Cricket Moto E I have is exhibiting the same behavior. I purchased an unlock code yesterday after I bought the Moto E itself, got the code this morning, powered off the Moto E, inserted my typical T-Mobile SIM card, powered on the Moto E, got the code entry screen, entered the code and voila, successfully unlocked.
Now, having said that, and while I see the 4G LTE icon on the status bar it's ghosted meaning there's no data connection. I have a connection to T-Mobile, I can make calls (called customer service, etc) and that works great. But the data connection simply doesn't function at all - that's exactly the same behavior exhibited by the L70 I had for MetroPCS. After doing some research I was able to discover a method to do a provider network aka service provider unlock on the L70 using the service codes (*#*# kind of stuff which LG supports on most models, think it was *#*#2945-whatever then changing some options in a menu).
After that, the L70 worked fine with T-Mobile without any problems for data. I did also need to set the proper APN and then I set the radio info (*#*#4636#*#*) to WCDMA preferred which works best for me (and the L70 is not an LTE capable device anyway).
But now I'm stuck with this Moto E that's SIM unlocked, connects to T-Mobile in terms of phone call usage but not data. Because the Moto E doesn't support the dialer service codes I ended up using an app I purchased (SignalCheck Pro) which has some shortcuts to those hidden options (radio info) and there I set it for WDCMA preferred, then I went back to the cellular network options in Settings to set the proper APN, etc. - all this stuff is pretty much regular for most XDA users so I don't need to go into extreme details.
Having said that, it appears there's a service provider lock on this Moto E and I'm stumped as to how to get it removed. I'm guessing that there aren't different "levels" of an unlock code that Cricket would provide, i.e. one code will just remove the SIM lock so you can make use of other carrier's SIM cards and then another code which would remove the SIM lock and remove the service provider lock too.
I can't find any list of known or working Motorola dialer codes that would get me into the same kind of menu the L70 uses to remove the network lock - to be honest I can't even remember the specific steps to get it all done but it was the two-step process: SIM unlock code and then remove the service provider lock, after that I could use the T-Mobile SIM card with voice/data and no issues.
If anyone has any info, tips, or suggestions I'm all ears, figuratively speaking... at this point I can't even really sell this Moto E as "unlocked" since it apparently isn't fully functional in traditional smartphone terms. I'll keep it if I have to, of course, but it sure would be nice to figure this out even if it's just for research purposes that might help others attempting to do the same type of unlocking.
Thanks...
Just to clarify: SIM unlock was successful, but data isn't functional - did all the typical adjustments (APN correct, radio set to WCDMA preferred, phone call functionality works 100%, enabled data connection in radio info had no effect, etc) and still no active data connection will come up. Tried setting it for data roaming, still not successful. Everything works but the data connection, T-Mobile service is active without issues, same SIM card works in the L70 without issues in a straight swap.
Edit:
I have 3 T-Mobile SIMs that are active presently (don't ask) and they all exhibit the same issue of no data; they work fine for phone calls, just no data connection. The same 3 SIMs exhibited the same behavior with the LG L70 until I did that two-step process of removing the SIM lock and the service provider lock so I have no idea what to do at this point assuming that something can actually be done.
Of course I could be off my rocker and just missing something very simple here too, it's happened before.
Here's another issue that is or most likely could be related if anyone has any info about it:
Since getting the SIM unlock code for the XT1527 Cricket model I have (in my attempts to get it functional with T-Mobile, seems like a no-brainer really), I've noted that the actual cellular connection is highly unstable:
It constantly shifts from 4G LTE to HSPA+ to GSM over and over again, never really "sticking" with anything for any length of time - and of course the data isn't working at all as mentioned in the post above.
I remember in the past seeing info on some phones that just constantly won't stick on their given connection and hop all over the place but I can't recall a method to lock it down and make it stable. Not sure if the way Cricket has designed or programmed this particular device is part of it, I suppose there's really no way to know for sure at all.
Bleh... starting to not like this device nearly as much as I did just yesterday when I got it.
For the record: I've done exactly what I mentioned in the post above by accessing the radio info menu to set it for not only LTE mode, but also GSM, then WCDMA preferred, then combinations of those modes and it just will not stick on anything for more than 10-12 seconds at a time.
Very odd behavior, I may just end up using this as a Wi-Fi only device if I'm unable to resolve this crap...
Data roaming: switch to off
See if that helps
cricket moto e lte
cricket moto e works internationally fine with local cdma carrier only out of the box
I'd be willing to bet it is an APN issue. I know you said it is correct, however I've been having data issues with mine and the APN has been the fix. Also the notes on fixes that are coming with 5.1 talk about an APN fix.
Anyway, I'd try creating a diff APN with the values you'll find in the link below, it might work

Op, another thing to try: enable OEM unlocking, settings>developer options>oem unlocking
I've done some more traveling and I'm convinced the fix is to enable OEM unlocking,
good luck
I just looked on the Cricket phone site and the Moto E (2015) LTE is now only $50. I just bought two last month at $80 each. Just my luck...
I'm in the same boat, purchased unlock code from ebay, put in tmobile sim, able to make calls but but no data. I enabled OEM unlock too but it didn't change anything.
One thing that did have some progress was adding a new APN and changing the APN protocol to IPV4/6 instead of IPV6. I was able to get 4G signal sometimes, but it still disconnects very often. Anyone else have any luck with this?
Hello friends .
I'm sorry I am writing because I english translation program .
I live in Turkey. S6edgeplus - 928v phone models came from abroad. but the phone does not open 4G - LTE in turkey. *#*#4636#*#* it says LTE ONLY do I do when the connection was severed, and the line was disconnected . I could not find a solution in turkey please help me . Thank you very much in advance
Go into setting then mobile network and set network mode to umts GSM lte. If you're trying to get 4g while on a call, I can't figure that out. It doesn't work for me neither when I use an att sim card in a Verizon phone. I can't get Internet while on a phone call.

Thank you for your interest . but according to my research yesterday 3-7-20 LTE bands in Europe . I do not have my phone with this band . I do wonder how do I install or installing the ? I use my phone that is not loaded
Same problem on tmobile on 5.0 I wonder if its a marshmallow problem too. IT only worked when i first switched from verizon to tmobile and had advanced calling enabled through verizon. Somehow it tricked tmobile or the phone into working with data and call? Since i did a factory reset though now with tmobile sim no luck Im waiting to update soon myself almost done downloading the update
Hey guys, recently switched to AT&T from verizon 2 months ago. The guy at AT&T typed in the APNs and all is good besides poor reception at my house. Last night i turned off mobile data to see if my reception to send a text got better. Now I cant get mobile data to turn back on... It says add mobile service please contact customer service and gives the verizon customer service number. Any ideas on how i can get it back on? I've tried everything i can think of besides activating it on verizon again....
You might need to manually enter your APN since this is a Verizon device running on AT&T. Also if you are using an AT&T SIM you might need to input an IMEI for AT&T to get back on. These are the issues you run into trying to use CDMA/Unlock phone for one carrier (unlocked does not mean full functionality on all networks, if that was the case there would be only a single model of the V10) on a GSM carrier.

I did manually enter the APN... It senses not connected to VZW and then says to call VZW customer service... might have to activate on verizon again turn on data and switch sim?
The same exact thing happened to me a month ago
Go to: Settings>Backup & Reset>Network Settings Reset
it will turn your data back on by default but you might have to put your APN info back in
hope this helps
youre amazing!
Hi Everyone please can someone assist me I got a new handset, its a Cell c branded android 7 dual 3G SIM device it says it has a Spreadtrum 7731c processor. My problem is when I activate roaming my phone connection roams and I can call on the other network, but as soon as I turn on the data roaming switch it turns itself off and as soon as you exit the screen when you go back you find network roaming de activated.
I contacted the service provider and have the correct Apn and have even returned the handset and got a brand new one and it is doing the same.
Any advise? If I take the sim out and put it in a another phone it roams on 3G perfect, were it won't on both of the new handsets I have had what can I do?
Thanks
