It doesn't have the whole world bro, there are no regional carriers in that list. I dont see any Cellular Ones or Cincinnati Bells in there.

Thanks so much. It's great and work with me.

[GUIDE] Koodo ICS Upgrade and 3G Fix

My first post. I hope this helps someone else here. I will take you through the steps of updating the Koodo Nexus S to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3, Super User + Root, Radio, and finally APN. This GUIDE is strictly for the Koodo Mobile Network operated by Telus in Canada. I am located in Saint John, New Brunswick and I have been struggling with several aspects of this upgrade especially the lack of 3G after following other tutorials.
Please ensure that you have Clockworkmod installed + super user on a rooted Gingerbread phone.
[WARNING] You must wipe your phone which includes sms, contacts, applications, and the like. I recommend making a backup of your entire device. Search this forum for ways to backup before a complete upgrade. It is rather easy. Google will sync most of your vital information but they won't sync data you create directly on your phone with non-google apps. Once you have your backups made be sure to copy them back your PC.
Now that you have your backup we will download a few files and place them on your SDCARD.
Download the following files:
1. ICS 4.0.3 Official Full Rom: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/ZD3PyN0t.zip
2. ICS superuser for root: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
4. Radio UCKB2 for i9020a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Setup
1. Now upload all of these downloaded files to your device's SDCARD via USB Storage.
2. Power off the device.
3. Power on the device into recovery mode. Hold the power button and the volume up. Select recovery using the volume buttons and press the power button to select.
4. Select Mounts and Storage.
5. Format the following: /system /cache /data /boot. Note that I choose not to format /sdcard. It is unnecessary. If you do format /sdcard then you will have to push the files via developer console: adb.exe push file.zip /sdcard/file.zip
6. Go back and select Install zip from sdcard.
7. Select ZD3PyN0t.zip and Install. This will take a few moments.
8. Choose zip from sdcard again and select Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and install. You do not have to install superuser at this point but I strongly recommend it. Originally I was using ICS_su.zip but I believe this is not an official zip but either seemed to work fine. Look on the forums for ICS_su.zip if you have issue with the one I am suggesting here.
9. Choose zip from sdcard again and select XXKB2-radio-nexuss-unsigned.zip and install. This radio is very important. While some other radios might work I found this one to be the most stable for Koodo and identical baseband as Gingerbread was.
10. I lost recovery mode once while doing this an evening ago and I was not sure why this happened. I recommend this additional step at this point. Go back and go to Mounts and Storage. Mount /system. From the Developers console you can run: adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This automated script can cause you to loose clockworkmod recovery otherwise.
11. Go back and Select Reboot System Now. Wait for your phone to load.
12. At this point you will not have 3G or Data capabilities. You need to setup your google account and wifi. Once the phone is loaded on the home screen it will begin syncing with Google and updating your phone with your data including apps and the like. Once this happens we should now enable 3G. The problem I discovered with my 3G was that the phone was setup for Telus APN. Telus APN will not work with an unlocked Koodo phone in my area.
3G ENABLING STEPS
13. Navigate to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Select Koodo
14. Navigate to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Input the following settings for TELUS APN (leaving designated fields blank):
APN: sp.koodo.com
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/koodo/mmsc
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
MCC : 302
MNC : 220
APN type :
Save (back out of the screen) once you have entered in the details exactly. They must be exact or they will not work. Do not leave any extra data created for TELUS APN.
15. Last step! Turn off Wifi via Settings > Wireless & Networks and you should now see a 3G icon ontop of your bars. You now enabled 3G on ICS!
I just had two friends with Nexus S phones in Atlantic Canada try this and it worked fine for Koodo. I am sure there are similar issues with APN settings for other carriers like Koodo so perhaps this will be of some help to those folks as well.

Thanks very much for this post! it helped alot for me on my I9020A on the nexus beam rom with kodoo now i don't have to wait for ICS!

Just as a heads up in this section of the tutorial:
APN: sp.koodo.com
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
I usually do not add the proxy server, because i found that it SLOWS DOWN HTTPS:// requests like crazy! So basically if your trying to access your koodo account from the web browser it's unbearable unless you remove the proxy server under the APN only (Do not remove the one under MMSC)

just a question, is this for koodo ppl because of the 3g network?

Each carrier will have different APN settings. And in my experience, flashing new ROM's tends to delete APN data... so yeah. In that way, this is Koodo specific in order to get 3G working.
Also, radio-specific as well? haha.
I've noticed the KF1 works on Koodo as well.

UCKB2 radio wont work for me. I have tried others as well without success. Is there any way to know which radio I should use on my koodo Nexus?

I've tried KB2 before with success. KF1 also works for me, and is my current radio.

Ironic
The first time I flashed bios I had a power outage and killed my MB.
Today I killed a whole day figuring out what is wrong with my phone, asking on forums, going back to factory defaults and other ROMS, trying radios. Called the neighbour 10 minute ago and asked him about his Telus phone. "The whole Telus 418 region is out today"
I would be really angry if it wasn't so funny.

Thanks for the simple to follow guide. Worked perfectly the first time. I'm actually on Telus so all I needed was to follow up to flashing the radio button everything just worked when I rebooted.

clockworkmod version
I would just like to add that you need clockworkmod version 5.
I followed a guide for rooting my nexus s which installed clockworkmod version 3 and ran into some problems. Finally after a bit of stress ended up reading up on clockworkmod and pushed the version 5 installer to my phone, installed it and voilà! I was able to run the installs.
Just thought I would specify in case someone runs into the same problem.
Thanks for your work !

It's nice to know that I'm not the only Koodo-er on here.
I didn't use the guide (already figured it out prior) but it's nice to see one, especially one that's easy to read and well written. It's a nice change from the typical.. stuff.. on xda.

It works! Thanks a lot, very helpful guide. I have a few quick questions though:
- Right now my phone is rooted and has SuperUser installed. I checked through Root Check Basic that I'm rooted and it confirmed it. I didn't understand your steps to make sure Clockwork isn't removed though and I skipped them, so now it's gone. If I simply flash Clockwork again, will I lose my data and have to re-flash ICS?
- Will I get OTA updates given that it's still essentially a stock ROM? I don't mind losing root as the only reason I rooted is to get ICS.
Thanks again!
A few comments for other readers considering this guide
I'm a noob, and I know it. These are comments so any other noobs reading through this thread or Googling the problems I had finds what they were looking for. I'm not criticizing your guide in any way as I know there's a basic expectation of competency on xda and you still went far beyond that and did a great job holding my hand through all the steps. I assume some/most of these comments are obvious to people who actually know what they're doing, but here goes for the other nooblets:
- As someone said previously, it seems you need a new version of Clockwork Recovery. The original guide I used to root my phone installed Clockwork 3.0.1.0 (I think?) and it didn't work. I also had other problems (see below) which only popped up after I installed Clockwork 5.0.2.0, so it's possible that it isn't necessary, but always go for the newer version, I guess. You can flash a new version of Clockwork the exact same way you flashed the older one (I actually repeated the steps in my rooting guide but I swapped the old recovery file with the new one)
- Make sure you back your stuff up first, including a list of all the apps you had installed if you think you might forget. Google didn't reinstall my apps at all despite my having repeatedly checked that backing up to Google was selected in my settings in Gingerbread. The Market remembered the ones I paid for, but I had to log into the Market on my PC to see the free ones to reinstall them. Even then, some were missing and I couldn't find the pattern as to why. This could be my bad as I probably rooted and unrooted and flashed about 5 different ROMS trying to figure everything out last night, but better safe than sorry.
- I initially had a problem installing ZD3PyN0t.zip. It would start opening, then abort and give some kind of error message like "cannot open (BAD) - aborted" and then all I could do was enter (power+volume up) mode. Eventually I figured out that somehow the original "ZD3PyN0t.zip" that I downloaded was corrupted and I couldn't even open it on my PC to explore the files inside. Redownloading it and resending it to my phone via "Mount USB storage" in Clockwork Recovery fixed it. I have no idea how it got corrupted, but if you're getting that error message just delete it and re-download. You can check if it's corrupted the same way mine was by trying to explore the files in the .zip from your computer.
- I didn't need to go through the 3G network settings for some reason. The only network it could find was Telus, which it automatically understood as Koodo and worked immediately. I didn't have the same menu options available to me as OP listed, but in the end it worked. Maybe it's because I left my SIM card in the phone the whole time? I'll never know, point is it worked, so I'm not complaining. So I guess give 3G a try before you tinker with the advanced settings and so on. Keep the settings OP suggested on a file in your phone so that if your 3G ever stops working you can easily configure it on the go. [SEE EDIT]
p.s. for anyone who cares, I'm running a Nexus S I9020A on Koodo in Montreal. Battery life and performance so far seem excellent, although I've been using my phone constantly so I haven't been able to check standby battery life yet. Right now I'd say I'm looking at a total "screen on" time of about 5-7 hours, which is slightly better than I was getting on stock 2.3.6. I'll report back if I have battery problems, but so far it doesn't seem like it.
EDIT: 2 things now that I've been using ICS for a few days.
- Battery life is AWESOME. ICS seems to be better at stopping my phone from being "awake" so much when the screen is off. Battery life during heavy use is slightly better than Gingerbread, but during light use it must be doubled or tripled (i.e.: on pace for many days of on-time, whereas I used to be lucky to get 18-20 hours with Gingerbread even on what I would consider a light day).
- I had some trouble setting up my APN settings right. I was having trouble downloading from the Market and a few sites over 3G, but everything else seemed to work (I'd browse to an app in the Market, click download, and it wouldn't start. Then I'd get "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error. I fixed it by deleting the "Proxy" and "Port" settings from my APN. Credit goes to this thread I found:
So, settings that seem to work:
APN: sp.koodo.com
Proxy: [not set]
Port: [not set]
Username: [not set]
Password: [not set]
Server: 74.49.0.18

Hi! Thanks for your guide, my wife's Nexus S is now running ISC with Koodo... We are having some problems now:
1.- Search Button fires up way more than before, I've tried to fix this with differents Market Apps w/o luck.
2.- While trying to fix this I discovered that CWM was no longer working, I've tried the Step 10 on your guide but CWM keeps "disapearing" with every reboot.
Every time I need to use CWM, I need to install it from ROM Manager App, Reboot in CWM do my stuff, reboot again and losing CWM again.
3.- Again... while trying to fix the Search button problem, I went to /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl and edited that file, save and then reboot... when I open back the cypress-touchkey.kl, the changes I've made are gone.
Any hint?
EDIT:
So far I just reinstalled CyberGR-MOD and now ICS is running w/o problems, CWM works, and has been almost 36 hours with out Search Button problems (mi wife needs to test that when shes not at home, as we dont have problems with Search Button at home).
Im using AndroidCommander for windows and im loving it, real cake to move stuff, push and pull apps.

Made an account just to say thanks.
It has been super helpful. I was setting up the phone for my GF and was worried when I couldn't get 3G.
I was worried about the battery life but it's nice to hear other people are finding it good. I got 3G up and running!

Great post, Just a question though, will this ICS upgrade work for the Galaxy Ace by Koodo as well or just the Nexus?

The general procedure will be the same, but you cant flash a Nexus S ROM and radio to a different phone and expect it to work. If you're already rooted and looking for Koodo-specific APN settings this will work, but find a guide and ROM specific to your phone.

[GUIDE][HOWTO] Flash back to sprint from cricket or any other carrier

Alright so I am writing this thread because I was having a hell of a time flashing back and using other phone's guides until I finally figured out the exact steps.
PREREQUISITES:
QPST 2.7 or higher (google this yourself)
Sprint PRL 60690 https://www.dropbox.com/s/udvajb1sthntvts/60690.prl
your msl (download msl reader from the play store)
Choose tethered modem when plugged in
common sense
1. open up QPST and select your phone (I will not bother with teaching you how to figure out the com port crap since there are so many guides for it already)
2. go to the roam tab and load the prl then click write to phone write your spc (msl) and press ok
3.then when the phone restarts go back to the tethered modem if it already isn't
4.then go to the M.IP tab and select the profile and press edit, it should say [email protected] or something similar, change it to [email protected] and press write to phone
5.go to the PPP tab when the phone reboots and go to the UM subtab and replace the user ID with [email protected]
6. Go to the tethered NAI box and write [email protected]
7.go to the AN subtab and go to the user ID tab and write [email protected]
8.write to phone
9.When phone reboots it should be ready to be activated on sprint

Native Hotspot on Stock [Rooted & Non-Rooted][ONLY Tested On Sprint Device]

I found this in Sprint Note 4 section by @llawen, who found it in the Note 3 section and I can confirm it still works on Sprint Note 5!!
All credit goes to @idone. Not my work. Just sharing here.
You MUST BE ROOTED for this method.
Download sqlite editor from playstore (Speed Software version, which is a paid app....BUT if you know your way around that, then you're good ).
Open sqlite editor,
select files.
Then
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db/
Select carriers.
The last 2 lines (APN2LTE internet) and (APN2 EHRPD internet) you will see (default,mms), add ,dun.
It will look like this
default,mms,dun
Make changes in both lines and save, reboot, and enjoy.
FOR NON ROOTED PHONES:
First step is to get your MSL number either by calling Sprint Customer Service, or trying this method here on AndroidForums:
[GUIDE] Easy way to get MSL without calling Sprint or using CMDA Workshop
After getting your MSL number follow these steps (originally posted by @MasterTentacles in the Sprint Note 4 Section):
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.
Click on APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.
AND THAT'S IT!!! YOU NOW HAVE HOTSPOT!!!
But be aware, if you update PRL, you will have to redo these steps....
THIS IS ONLY A GOOD WORKAROUND UNTIL A FULL NATIVE HOTSPOT IS MADE.
Enjoy!!

as well as with any Samsung updates.

Doesn't work after the Marshmallow update from what I've seen. Suggestions?

[GUIDE] unlock APN settings on stock firmware

if you have a problematic firmware that won't allow you to edit your APN settings in the dialer hidden menu, this may be what you need.
first, the warnings:
1. THIS IS ONLY FOR SPRINT SAMSUNG PHONES RUNNING TOUCHWIZ ROMS!!! never attempt on any other carrier or manufacturer's device or alternate roms! it should most likely work on other Samsung Sprint devices with stock/touchwiz roms.
2. DEPENDING ON DEVICE, YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE FORCED TO FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE IN THE PROCESS, which likely includes LOSS OF ALL DATA ON INTERNAL SD!! take all necessary precautions.
3. ROOT REQUIRED
4. you will STILL NEED your MSL number!!!
5. have a FULL backup in TWRP ready in case anything goes wrong. INCLUDE your EFS in the backup!!! again, INCLUDE YOUR EFS. make sure it's stored on EXTERNAL sd card. again, EXTERNAL SD CARD!!! or copy it to your PC if you don't have an external card.
here's the short but sweet guide.
1. download "Samsung Phone Info" from Google Play
2. swipe over to the CSC section.
here you should see:
Firmware's CSC Code
Active CSC Code
Available CSC Code
3. if Firmware's AND Active both say XAS, you should already be able to edit your APNs using your MSL number.
if Firmware and Active codes do not match, you have a dirty rom and I am unable to help you correct it, you'd best try a different stock based rom or 3rd party that allows it by default.
if Available CSC Codes does NOT include "XAS" then whoever modified the customized stock touchwiz rom you're using removed it and you'd best try a different stock based rom or 3rd party that allows it by default.
4. using any CSC editor, change "SPR" in ALL places it appears as only the 3 letters "SPR" to XAS
5. confirm changes and reboot. you will now most likely lose ALL personal data on your phone and should now be able to edit your APN using your MSL inside the dialer's hidden menu.

Have you found a way to retrieve your MSL without calling sprint? I've tried all the tool apps in the play store and using a logcat within the ##3282# menu with no luck. Getprop ril.MSL yields nothing, not even a not found error.
I've tried calling sprint for my MSL but refuse to release it.. I'm not exactly on their "nice" list - they've even called to tell me I'm "using too much of my [UNLIMITED] data" many times so I don't expect much from them anymore..
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

try the Sprint chat -- through the website, NOT Facebook, and have a good reason ready as to why you need the MSL, other than for bypassing their security lol

Holy **** after searching high and low I have FINALLy found a way to get back editing my APNS for hotspot on my rooted Sprint Note 5! AND I keep Android Pay! Thanks so much!!
This works perfectly! Only thing is turn on hotspot option disappeared from settings. I can turn it on and off from the top bar if I swipe down. OR I can download a hotspot shortcut app and access it from that app.
Also I noticed my icons for LTE now say 4G and the bars are different too - more old school.
I noticed I changed EVERY SPR to XAS - do ALL of them NEED to be changed to enable APN editing? Can I switch back the ones that give me back hotspot option in settings and stock LTE & bars icons?

this **might** be fixed by renaming (or deleting, if you're brave) the features.xml file, if I remember correctly, stored in system/csc/ or system/etc/ not sure honestly
features.xml.backup should do just fine.
if the rom doesn't boot afterwards or if the dragons catch all your apps on fire, go back to recovery and use TWRP's file manager to change it back
also, any xposed app (like wanam's) or other feature.xml adjusting apps (like GalaxyTools or Samsung Phone Info) can cause the problem to happen again.
the alternative / temporary / dirty-fix would be to create a shortcut to hotspot on your home screen:
1. download Activity Launcher from Google Play
2. launch and change recent activities to all activities
3. wait approximately 72 years for it to load
4. scroll to Settings and tap it
5. scroll to Hotspot and long-press it
6. tap create shortcut
7. never uninstall Activity Launcher -- instead just make it a hidden app (it's very small anyways)

I can just longpress hotspot toggle in slide down drawer from top no probz. Which CSC settings modifies the ability to edit APN? I want to put the rest back to SPR.

I used the msl code and everything appears the way you say it should... but the phone STILL says invalid sim!
What internal file must be deleted, the thing is unlocked on sprints end it just wont let go !

Hello,
I rooted Sprint Note 5 from Nougat to Magisk and went ahead to replace SPR into XAS in all files under system/CSC folder. APN Type is still coming greyed out. Any help will be appreciated.
