I have a galaxy S4 sch-r970 (from US Cellular) and I am located in Europe (Greece), when I put my local carrier sim it says invalid sim, do you think that my phone is sim locked?. Also in options, at available bands, it has only cdma/lte, no gsm/wcdma to select.Anyone know how can I enable the GSM band to use it in my Country? I know the phone hardware supports the GSM bands, also its written on the manual and on the box. Can I flash a european rom and rebrand the phone to a gt-i9505? or flash another modem to enable GSM?? I cannot find any complete instructions about this. Plase if anyone know what to do give me some light, I have searched all over the internet without a clear answer

Your phone is Qualcomm based. The hardware supports GSM and LTE. Did you try flashing a GT i9505 ROM? That should come with a GSM enabled radio. I wonder if the antennas on your phone support your country's frequencies.

I just tried to flash the custom rom omega now for i9505 and working, but first problem I cannot turn on the wifi.I insert my sim card and it says NO SIM card inserted. At original rom used to say invalid sim. Maybe this has to do with the sim lock. I will try to call us-cellular and ask them for unlock code. Also in supported networks now I have also gsm/wcdma but I when I select one of them it returns back automaticly to CDMA. So maybe its something that has to do with the modem. Can I flash a european modem or it will hard brick my device? anyone know?

Try flashing an XX modem for the i9505 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
That way you won't have to reflash the whole ROM.

are you sure that it is safe to do this? some say flashing another carrier modem can hard brick devices! I dont care if it will soft bricked and then reflash it *with odin to revive but I dont want to end with a complete dead phone
I have copied the entire EFS folder to a safe place? is this enough for backup? also tried already this sim unlock method, but doesnt seem to do something, I still have the invalid sim error message.
by dialing *#0011# I find that has all the network settings about WCDMA,GSM,LTE,CDMA, and also all the frequencies about each band.
another question is: if the hardware its completly the same as the european version, theoretically someone can flash the european modem,rom,kernel and bootloader and transform the device completly to a european model. Can anyone give me a clear answer if this is possible? because I dont know a reason why this cant be done.!! and I am much interested to do this, if its possible :laugh:

I don't know if the hardware is completely the same or not. You have already flashed Omega 6 which is based on a GSM stock ROM and includes GSM modem firmware which works in Europe.
The issue here imho is configuring the modem correctly, since it was configured by Samsung for US Cellular so it works in CDMA mode. Does the phone go into GSM roaming mode if you plug in a US Cellular SIM card?
Copying the contents of the EFS partition is not enough. I would use an EFS backup/restore app for that task.
Playing with the baseband configuration can hard brick the phone, as some have reported.

the omega rom didnt changed my modem, I can see in about phone but it remains the original.
I have put the us cellular sim card but cannot connect to any network.
Also about EFS, I tried the efs pro but after recognising the phone with ADB doesnt show in the list inside the program. Maybe due to not known model like i9505

You are right about Omega 6 not changing the modem software. I have been using Omega for S3 since Aug 2012 and I thought the modem firmware was always updated to match the rest of the release. Sorry about that mistake.
Can you call US Cellular and ask if they have roaming agreement with your Greek GSM operator? That might shed some light on compatibility.

I will give them a call, but I believe the reason why cannot find network with uscellular sim its not having roaming agreement with Greek GSM as you said. But I dont care about roaming. I want to use my local sim cards for GSM network and pay for local prices.
little update: I just called us-cellular customer care, and they cannot help me! They are trying to tell me that this is a not world phone and I can use it only with their sim cards ! :laugh: they Dont know also something about sim lock, cannot provide me any unlock codes they said.

Hello guys,
got one atrix at&t 4g in hands right now wich cant accept any sim card. Even the at&t one. Customer told he bought it as unlocked at am usa bestbuy shop and as arrived in home realised it´s locked indeed. As far i can see also to at&t sim card as it asks for network pin. I tried to updated it to [STOCK ROM] Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread 4.5.91 (Safest Update) following xda guide, but it keeps locked also to at&t. N tip or help from someone?

i did it, but the 8-dig unlock code did not work. Will try a 16 dig from a diff supplier. Weird is it should accept at&t sim card. But it doesnot.
im having a bit of a hard time understanding what u mean by the ATT sim not being accepted..if u mean there no signal when u put the sim in, its because ur friend bought it without activating it with an ATT number most likely. In which case a non active ATT sim will not register with the Roaming partners which will show up on ur phone as no service. Get a valid code from a seller such as cellunlock.net i used them and they're code worked perfectly, once u sim unlock the phone then put in a SIM from ur country and it should pick up signal all u have to do then is create a motoblur account or choose to skip that process.

Thany u for replying...
Sorry man for yr misunderstading. Wht i mean is wht i said: it does not accept any sim card. Neither one from at&t. Then, if i insert an at&t sim card (yep, i have more than 4 of them) phone asks for network pin, just like it asks when i insert other operators sim card, like claro brazil (i.e).
Its regular expected behavior should be accepting, at least, the at&t sim card since it´s from usa at&t. Of course it would not show network signal cos i am outside usa and my at&t sim cards have no credits, but it should not ask for a network pin when a at&t sim card is inserted.

sounds like the phone is asking for a SIM Pin or what's known as a PUK Code, which unfortunately if u dont know it, u have to contact the carrier of the sim card for it, my advice would b to try to get a sim unlock code, put the code in just to make sure it is unlocked, then stick the sim for ur country's carrier inside the phone. It will probably ask for a pin again at that point call ur provider, and give them the imei/serial of the sim and ask for the sim pin/puk code. hopefully that resolves the problem. Also do not try to guess the code more then 3 times or u will fry/burn ur sim card and will need a new one.

Are you sure it's an ATT Atrix? Could it be that you have for example a Bell Atrix?
p.s. according to widely spread beliefs, if you type in the network unlock code wrong too many times, the phone will become hard locked, meaning it won't accept any sim card. could be that the person you got it from did just that.
If you can still put in a network pin your good. See, you may have an AT&T sim, but it has no service so the phone wont read it until it's unlock. You need to purchase an unlock. DO NOT GO GUESSING. I believe the Atrix has 5 attempts before locking you out forever.
at & t
@xploited
yep, it´s from at&t. It is bundled into at&t pack and also i flashed it OTA last at&t release.
@Purple Drama Llama
yep, it still asks for network pin code to unlock. No one msg like contact operator or phone freezed or whatever. Then i think it may not be hardlocked... yet.
p.s: ordered a third supplier an unlock code. Hope not be refunded this time since i hope it may work good. Wish me luck.
Rgds,
Hi, guys. I have the same problem i've purchased atrix without contract in the at&t retail store, they e-mailed me the unlock code, but the code is wrong i said it to them, they were surprised and e-mailed me another one and it is wrong too they (in the att store) said, that either of them should work and they don't know what to do. i still cant use my sim card. At&t sim was never used in that phone. is it important to have att sim inserted even once? and what to do with the phone?

I'm also from Brazil and I am having the same problem!

I'm with version 2.3.4
Abs
I'm a N00B, but I've spent close to 30 hours reading up on posts the past three days. I have the same problem as stated in the original post... even my AT&T sim results in a request for the unlock code now.
I started with an AT&T Atrix. I unlocked the boot loader, put CWM recovery on, put Alien v4 ROM on...then the next day AT&T called me with my unlock code for international use. When I put a new sim in it asked for the code, but did not accept it "Network unlock result unsuccessful" Two other sims just immediately went to "Subsidy Lock ..." statement without asking for the unlock code... then my AT&T sim stopped working, and went to asking for an unlock code right away. Phone also will not pick up any signal, nor connect to any networks
I have entered many codes many times, and not circumvented the error, nor permanently locked it...
My next steps are to install the Gingerbread 2.3 ROM available here: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/49191?start=0&tstart=0
Then use RSD lite to flash the AT&T 4.5.91 firmware available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
After which I am hoping I can enter the unlock code, then re-unlock the boot loader, and flash back to alien v4 ROM again.
Do you think this will work, or have any other better ideas?
Should I use RSD Lite to flash the original firmware .sbf file?
My best guess is that the unlocked boot loader is preventing the phone from carrier unlocking ???
Extra credit:
- any idea how the phone is not permanently frozen after entering unlock codes up to 50 times?
- Will I need to put CWM recovery on the phone again?
- Any idea how the AT&T sim stopped working (while still working fine in another phone)
Please help and I hope this post will help others...
the boot loader unlock .sbf was only 13 MB, but the original 4.5.91 AT&T firmware .sbf is 1.5 GB unzipped... is flashing this mega-file through RSD lite the way to get this operating, or warrantee returnable again from its present state of unlocked boot loader, and not accepting any sims? Thank You

Hello people,
I have a fully unlocked Rogers Canada S8500R ->S8500RUXJF3/S8500RRWCJF3 (RWC) with bada v1.0.
I tried flashing newer firmware v1.2 ->S8500XXKF3, but got a problem - WIFI mac address disappeared. So, I decided to go back to some of the older versions ->S8500XEJL2. Now I have the MAC address and WIFI working, but the phone does not find any GSM network. Tried with two different network providers (different sim cards) with no luck.
I used the instructions and the firmware provided here:
http://www.sammobile.com/threads/45-Samsung-S8500-Wave-Firmwares.
All update steps pass without errors. Using multiloader v5.64.
Any ideas or suggestions how to resolve this will be appreciated?
Bro your wave 8500 cant find the rogers GSM band because you flashed it with a generic firmware so the settings havent been set yet for rogers.
Did you check your phone settings and try to set it to auto? if this doenst work then manually select the gsm band that Rogers uses.
How is your 3g btw?
Yes, it is set to auto. Besides that I'm located in Europe in the moment and no network is detected.
try manually setting it then to the bands that your provider uses.
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------
oh your in europe now...btw have you activated the sim for MMS/3G?
In my country when we buy a new sim we have to send a code to the service provider so that they can activate the 3g capability of the sim.
Call the service provider of the sim your using and ask them if the sim has been activated for 3g and MMS.
The problem is that the phone actually doesn't find any GSM network after flashing with euro firmware, not just the 3G.
However, there are some Brazilian roms of bada v.1 with which the phone finds network.
Sorry
Where in europe are you now?
The wave 8500 is quadband GSM so it shouldnt have problems finding a GSM network anywhere in the world.
However go back to your original firmware bada 1.0 just to test that the quadband is working properly.
Then take a good look at the other bada 1.2 firmwares because some are not full firmwares ex there are firmwares that require a previous firmware be installed before they work properly.
After flashing back to your original firmware, post the results.
That's the problem..., I can't find any original firmware for Rogers Canada.
If you find any, please, let us know!
I dont know what to tell you
Rogers that rang a bell for me... i looked up at sammobile.com and rogers wasnt in any of the provider firmwares.
Then i remembered years back about the omnia windows 6.5 phone on rogers where they couldnt unlock the phone to be used on other networks until you get an unlock code from rogers.
It seems your phone has a network provider lock which is almost similar to a simlock.
(locked to one provider)
There were warnings on samfirmware before that locked and branded waves should not be flashed without unlocking first.
Ive posted links below including google.
there are several videos on youtube can you try copying the unlock code they used but it seems you have to buy the code but in the video it shows the code try it..

If you are using GSM no you don't need to unlock it.
Just make sure you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean.
Stick the GSM Sim in there press okay if it says SIM form unknown source and you should get all ur signals.
If you are planning to use it with a CDMA Carrier then u have to do settings flash and hope they stick so u can ask ur provider to connect it to their network.
Also are you using Retail XT907 or Developer XT907 ???
any luck
so we're you able to make the SIM card work?

Thanks for the information but it does not seem to be working. I inserted a GSM (BSNL) sim card into it. Reset all data. When the phone restarted it says "SIM from unknown source". I press OK. It shows a few bars (does not show any data access). However I am unable to make any calls nor does it receive any calls. I even changed the "Preferred network mode" to "GSM/UMTS". Am I missing something? I could sure use some help here.

Network Type and Strength:
GSM = -65dBm
Service state:
In service
Roaming:
Not roaming
Mobile network state:

I think the "Mobile network state" should be "Connected". The system version is 98.12.4.XT907.Verizon.en.US
Hope this helps.

I got a phone from my friend which is Motorola Droid RAZR M with is tied up with Verizon.
Now I want to use Airtel Service in India. After I insert the SIM, the phone recognizes the Airtel Service for a second and then it shows nothing. I think I have to unlock the mobile.
As I am completely new to android, could any body suggest how to do or how to make the mobile work in India using Airtel GSM sim?
Please provide the steps and the requirements as well.
Thanks in advance...

I tried flashing the aussie NON-HLOS.bin and it did not work. The operator was BSNL. Upon inserting the sim, I get an error saying "BSNL Mobile - An error occured". List of available networks was also empty. Only option is to rinstall some custom rom, I guess.

I have uploaded the file at h t t p : / / d-hDOTst/FpQ. (I am apparently not allowed to post external links until I have 10 posts.) Though I am not sure why you would want to do that.
Can some upload a copy of the original XT-907 radio? I am unable to find it anywhere. Thanks.

All of the currently available Motorola firmware files are available at that link.
Just download the full XML.zip for XT907 and use what you need from it or flash the entire file in RSD Lite.
New RAZR M
Hi,
Were you able to resolve it?
I have a RAZR xt910 and i am using the verizon leak and for me as well Airtel gets connected and everything with mobile network in status showing as disconnected. Just wanted to share that. Apart from that, i have something new i want to ask about.
I am thinking of buying a RAZR M for my friend, and its available here in India, Mumbai.
But the Reliance guy says its not a boxed piece and he says all imports are opened box pieces and that he has to open the box to edit some PRL settings to enable the phone or data or something like that. He is a CDMA phone service vendor.
Probably for you to enable the phone, you still might have to enable the PRL or whatever.
Anyone here knows what exactly he is trying to do? or is he bull****ting me for selling me an unboxed (probably used) phone from US. The price seems legit as compared to an imported version. And i am getting one year Seller's warranty, i.e. his shop - Reliance Webworld Communications(A known enterprise).
I have also asked this query in another thread for JBX custom Rom as i use that on my RAZR. Will share any details here if i find anything.
PS- I am going to his shop to understand what exactly he is doing so lets hope i find an answer to your problems as well.
Also if anyone knows how to get a proper box piece from US then that is also welcome. We will fix the not able to use issue here itself
This kinda happened to me (but in my case mine was just saying no service [ie the shield with a cross]) , are you sure your sim is activated (since it shows mobile network status as disconnected) or your carrier could just be evil and want you to sign up for a plan, in my case I told them I had a 4g device and to use my phone I had to sign up for a 4g plan (which I did on my lesser mb520) even though I had service (for about 15 minutes) when I just bought the sim and activated it at the dealer
Razr M sim unlock tutorial
I found a sim unlock tutorial for the Droid Razr M on YouTube. Try it and update us whether it works.

Thanks for the information but it does not seem to be working. I inserted a GSM (BSNL) sim card into it. Reset all data. When the phone restarted it says "SIM from unknown source". I press OK. It shows a few bars (does not show any data access). However I am unable to make any calls nor does it receive any calls. I even changed the "Preferred network mode" to "GSM/UMTS". Am I missing something? I could sure use some help here.

On looking at the settings->About phone->Status, the following is what I see.
Network:
BSNL MOBILE
Network Type and Strength:
GSM = -65dBm
Service state:
In service
Roaming:
Not roaming
Mobile network state:
Disconnected
My phone number:
Unknown
ERI Version:
Not available
I think the "Mobile network state" should be "Connected". The system version is 98.12.4.XT907.Verizon.en.US
Hope this helps.

Droid RAZR basically a World phone, means it can work on cdma/gsm networks.
when it got released it's GSM radio was disabled & in later motorola/verizon updates unlocked the GSM signals to make it
world phone.
FYI,
just google "droid razr world phone", you will see multiple sites reporting verizon unlocking the GSM signals on the phone to allow global roaming on GSM networks.
Dude !! i am talking about the Droid Razr M and not the Original XT912

Hey everyone, I need some major help. My s5 can't connect to any network (service providers). What do I do? I hard reset it via the android recovery mode already but it still doesn't work. Keep in mind I have tried different sim cards from different service providers
Same problem here. S5 neverlocked. if i go and manually search for network, it will register and i will have signal, but after few minutes, no network. Its brand new phone, 1 month. its not rooted.. i want to root it and put some custom rom, but i dont think that will help...

What can I do if the phone is locked?
Hi to All! I'm from Uzbekistan and my provider is Perfectum cdma operator. I bought my redmi 2 from aliexpress. About 2 month I used first slot as cdma. There is no Ev-Do in my country. Thats why I subscribed to GSM operator and put SIM card to first slot and used WCDMA for internet. Regularly updated original MIUI rom. But week ago want to back to my CDMA operator and put Ruim to first slot. The phone cannot connect to cdma network. No signal bar. Tried change bands from *#*#4636#*#* but no result. When put this RUIM to another phone is ok. What should I do to connect to CDMA network?

Thank you very much! But this is for 813 version. Maybe this version is GSM. My is 821 and lost signal only for first CDMA slot. Can I do this method for my 821?
Hi, nurali.
I own the same 821 version. Here in Ukraine "Intertelecom" provides EvDo, it works fine but to get it worked provider's engineer tried several types of R-UIM cards until one of them recognized by phone. So you can ask provider to try other types of R-UIM cards.
