Did you ever get any help with this? I have been reading the Note 2 post, and I think I may have read the whole thing from where they started talking about the S4 till the end, as well as about half the rest. I cannot get my S4 to get data working at all. I am in need of the Nandroid backup as well, unless you got it and it didn't work for you.

Nope no one seems to want to help ..but I have gotten the 3g function to work on the s4 by flashing the correct aaa passwords still cannot update profile or prl

I was coming from a TP2, but that data didn't seem to work. Where you using the same phone, or something else?

I was using an boost incognito as a donor im the settings under data connections set it to cdma only tjats the only way the settings from the donor will work on the s4

Thanks! I had made it CDMA only, but not in there, in ##DATA#.
You know what, this means that I may have gone through all the headache for nothing. I'll start over and we'll see, it may all work without need of *2/activation.

Yeah the *2 method will not work unless the s4 was previously activated on a sprint account

Well, changing the data to CDMA didn't work either. I also have been reading on Nandroid backups that may help with this, and I think what we would need is the carrier. Someone said that EFS is ok to share, but carrier one would have user specific data once it has been activated. So, I guess my fix will be to get them activated on a Sprint line first, then go through the flash.
Thanks for your help!

Package file is invalid

Getting this error when trying to update some apps today. My phone is stock. Wondering if maybe my created APN settings have anything to do with it but I have been running that APN for a week. My APN is straight from a thread on here for better speeds. Thanks

Just try later, it always goes away for me (on other phone, not N4)
It is odd. Some apps now have gone through but one is being stubborn.

As others have already said, just keep trying. It's not your phone being faulty, some apps are just unable to install properly (had it on Xperia Neo V).

Help with Conditional Call Forwarding

I tried pretty much all of the different options to set my CCF including using *004*1xxxx# and **004*1xxxx# format, using Google Voice app and no matter what I do, I can't set CCF. I've called AT&T and they don't see any problem. I have CCF enabled on 3 other phones on my account. GNex, ATRIX 2, and an iPhone. Can't do it on this phone . Any suggestions?

Make sure your APN settings are correct.

Any idea what they should be?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've got this resolved. The problem was that AT&T had a different number in their system compared to what my phone was displaying in the CCF section. It wasn't pulling down the right number from their system. First they had to update their system to the same number as what was in my phone and then I was able to change it. Weird. But that's what was causing the problem. Hope this will help someone

SIM Problems

I searched around but couldn't find anything to solve my problem.
I just bought a LG G2 D800 from Ebay, clean ESN and I double checked it and it was clean.
I unlocked it in CyanogenMod which only required 1 unlock code, but then reverted to stock 4.2.2 restore where there's 5 different locks? When I try to tap each it displays, "Your phone is not personalized".
I slotted my MetroPCS SIM in and the phone displays "Phone not allowed MM #6" on reboot.
Those are all the steps I have done so far to try and use my MetroPCS SIM. This is my first time ever using a GSM Phone, I have no idea what to do now. I've tried to look around Google and XDA and can't find my problem. There was no errors on the AT&T SIM.
looks like a carrier simlocked phone. Is it carrier branded?

Factory reset has done nothing.
Basically, I unlocked the phone, but it isn't unlocked.
Is there any way to reset the lock? Or something of that nature.

As you said that you have flashed a custom ROM and now on stock rom,
Check whether you still have the IMEI #.
Also try insterting the Sim card on another device to check if Sim working, if working then try doing a factory reset.
Also once factory reset done as go in Setting-More Networks-Mobile Networks-Access points-Reset to default.
Try the above steps and let me know if problem still persists.
Dont forget to click the Thank button:good:

[Q] Cannot get a signal AT ALL

Please help!!! I can't get a mobile signal for the life of me. I get wifi and LTE, but no 2G or 3G??? I've factory resetted, flashed modems only, tried different roms. Everything. I'm starting to think it might be the hardware. If anyone has any knowledge, please share. As of now I'm back on NAE baseband since the NG2 upgrade started all this. Or maybe it was mobile odin. IDK it was one of those.
I would rather have lte than 2 or 3g. You could always change the settings for mobile networks to only pick up 3g and see if that works.

Have you tried removing the sim card and powering the phone up without it?
