software unlock

I did the software unlock via the dial code & UMTS menu, I can make phone calls with a different carrier sim, but I cannot get the data to connect. I have been searching xda and google for months trying to get this to work. I have a Canadian Bell mobilty i337m. Stock rom (mdj) and its rooted. I have tried factory reset several times but it doesnt fix it. I also tried flashing back to stock with odin. Does anyone have any other ideas?
When I try a telus (or other provider) sim, it give me voice service only and in the about > status menu the mobile network state either says disconnected or connecting. I have the data toggle on also.

Those unlocks don't work that well with the Canadian variants. They're designed for the i337 not the i337m.

Have you made sure the apn is set up right for the carrier?

Maybe this will help
Code:
http://apn-settings.com/canada/apn-settings-bell-mobility/

I will say the reason that cause the problem is that this is an ATT phone with At stock ROM. So it doesn't have the APN setting for other carries. You should set that by yourself.

Not true. I successfully unlocked my first S4 I337M on Bell following this tutorial. I sold that one because I was able to make a profit once I unlocked and flashed the AWS mod to make it compatible with WIND and Mobilicity.

Try reflashing the original 4.2.2 firmware from here and then immediately follow this tutorial before rooting (do not install any system updates!). Then you can root, install custom recovery, reset the flash count, etc.

Thanks

You did exactly what I am in the process of doing. I will try what you suggested now. Thanks!
Also, ive manually inputed apns for telus and eastlink and neither seem to work. I can always make voice calls, but the data will not connect.

oddly enough, when I put a telus sim in it and waited for a while (in hopes it would eventually connect to data) and the apn settings for telus were in the phone. I know I didnt put them there because the apn settings for koodo were also present along with a third apn that I cant remember.

For future reference, try not to double post. Just edit your current post.

It's actually not an odd thing to happen. Once an activated SIM is inserted and the phone is unlocked, the phone searches for the best APN settings from all compatible carrier bundles. Some phones do this more accurately than others. However, it may not do this well enough if a custom ROM is installed. I know this to be true because this happened with my older Galaxy S3 when I tried selling it to someone (it was a T-Mobile unlocked running CM 10.0 at the time). However, setting the APN manually (assuming all settings are correct and that nothing else is wrong with the phone) should resolve your issues.
If you're still having problems, I suggest doing these things:
1. Try going into your network operators and let the phone search for carriers nearby. Once the list shows up, tap on Telus and wait until that screen closes on its own.
2. If you can't get data going yet, try disabling it, re-enabling, and reboot.
3. If this still doesn't work, try going into the network mode screen and select GSM/LTE and reboot.
4. If it's still derping on you, then it must either be your SIM not connecting to Telus's data network, or your account has a data block. That's all I can really think of.
Good luck.

Ok, reflashed stock 4.2.2 (the first one) and manually entered TELUS apn settings from the telus website, got data to connect finally. As a note, there was a typo in the apn settings that it auto aquired for telus. Going to try a eastlink sim tomorrow and hopefully AWS is working.
Edit: all seems to work. thanks everyone!!

Mobile data not working n900w8

So I had this problem with a custom ROM in the past so I changed to a different one.
However, the rom didn't 'click' with me so I decided to stick with the stock ROM.
I downloaded it from sammobile.com, it's N900W8 so I downloaded the Telus variant (my carrier)
However upon installing the rom, the carrier bloatware it came with was Bell.
The filename does end with _TLS so I know I downloaded the right one. I don't know if this is the source of the issue but I NEED my data to be working; I'm paying for 6gb and I can't get any of it.
I'm redownloading the Telus stock ROM as we speak, and I'm wondering if I need to factory reset every time I flash it with Odin.

Look up the code to change your CSC, and I think you can just switch back to Telus. That's how it worked on my S4 anyways.

If I'm not mistaken, a CSC is a code that is like this, correct?
N900W8OYACNB7
Because if that is the case, both firmwares have the same CSC according to sammobile.

Err that's not what I meant. There's a dialer code that you can type in to change your CSC to the Telus one. Doing that will wipe your phone and switch to the Telus carrier bloat. That's what happened when I was using a Bell sim on my Rogers S4.. wiped way too many times.

So I tried checking my voicemail and from what I know, everything is still with Telus. The only issue is the bloatware, which is not much of an issue. The biggest problem I have is that my phone refuses to connect to LTE (not a hardware problem since I've had it connect before)

Maybe the Play Store is updating? If you have time, maybe you should just flash a custom rom that's just very simple (not feature heavy) and go from there?

Help: want help with wifi hotspot hack Sprint GS4 NG2

I have a Sprint galaxy S4
Model:SPH-L720
android Version :4.4.2
Rooted: Yes
Baseband: L720VPUFNG2

So first I do see this thread

however I don't know which one I am should get (if any) I 90% sure my phone is Odex (I checked in system/app and there were files with .odex)
I rooted my phone with this guide

Now I want to enable hotspot for my phone however I cannot find one for my build NG2

Hotspot with NG2
Trekky101, did you have success with the Galaxy Tools app? I am not having success with it.
When I click on the Enable Native Hotspot button, the phone reboots.
When I click on the Wifi hotspot settings, that is just taking me to the Sprint phone settings. When I turn on wifi, then it is telling me I need to contact Sprint.
I think I need to enable the wifi hotspot in the regular Wifi Hotspot Settings, but it does not stay on due to the contacting Sprint Customer Service.
It seems the manual says to enable it and then press the Enable Native Hotspot. That series of steps does not seem to work.
My phone is a S4 with the NG2 build.

There is a working hotspot for deodexed ng2. But before you go flashing an entirely different rom, make sure you have busybox installed (search for it on the play store), this could be causing galaxy tools to not work.

Hertz,
I had the same results the first time I tried with the Galaxy Tools, until on the second try I unchecked the "auto reboot" then hit the "enable native hotspot" button, then restarted (rebooted) my S4 manually (power button)..
I had already gone to Settings/Connections/hotspot the first time and configured my SSID name and password, so I just went back to Settings/Connections/Hotspot and turned the Hotspot on, and it worked perfectly...!
Hope this works for you!
PS My S4 is the NG2 build also...

REG99 - Wifi calling error "unable to connect"

Anyone else having this error on tmobile? I tried removing and replacing sim, clearing cache partition, connecting to two different networks, and clearing the cache and data from the wifi calling app. It worked on my S6 edge, but now I cant seem to get it functional. when im connected to wifi I have no problems with data.

This happened to me when I was rooted and moved the su.img to the system partition (data partition was encrypted when the su.img was mounted). I removed it from the system partition and then wifi-calling worked again.

If not what is posted above. It's a Tmo problem in your area.

If you have good WiFi you should have WiFi calling anywhere. Check you CSC - should be TMB. Fooling around with some mods got mine changed and it would not connect.

I dont get it. If i'm anywhere but work, it works fine. If I'm home or connected to a friends hotspot, it works.
What is even more odd is if I take the sim out of my S7 edge and put it in my S6 edge, wifi calling works on there, even at work?

I did root. Then I immediately wiped and flashed the stock firmware again... maybe I used the wrong CSC? Can I odin the CSC file alone again?

How to unlock wifi tether? AT&T S7 G930A

Howdy,
I am having trouble unlocking wifi tether on my new AT&T S7 running ....pk1. I am rooted using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538
thanks princecomsy and chainfire!
I have tried the following unsuccessfully:
1. adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop
-and a few others I can't recall off hand.
2. adb shell tether_dun_required to 0
Is there another way?
Is there a ROM that I can flash with FlashFire that already has this functionality? Any help yall could give would be greatly appreciated.

Flash xposed, and then install xtouchwiz

Install stang5.0litre rom from the Verizon thread. Teather is unlocked by default on his rom. It works great on AT&T, just have to have WiFi on initial setup since the APN is a Verizon APN. After that put in the AT&T APN, download titanium backup and freeze "setup wizard" so you don't get the "the sim is not a Verizon sim" notification. PM me if you decide to flash that rom and I'll tell you a few more things that need to be done to get rid of some annoying things that happen you you flash the rom or read his ENTIRE first post in that thread.

Not sure what you may have done wrong, but as I posted before, all you need to do is install xposed framework, and then the module xtouchwiz can remove the tethering provision check.

If you have it set to "secure boot" then you won't be able to use xposed. Disable that and try again.

No problem. Just make sure you read the entire first post. There are some really important parts that can save you a lot of head ache. Also, the settings menue will be all white when you first boot up, open super snake (snake icon app that comes with the rom), grant permission to Super SU, click button in top right corner and click "restart system UI).

Everything worked like a charm. The only issue I ran into so far was the settings menu being white which I fixed using super snake like you stated. My APN settings didn't get changed to verizon's. I think it was because I restored my systems settings from and old backup. Thank's a lot for all your info. You've just opened up so many roms for me to try thank you.

Thanks everyone, the new rom is working well now. I had trouble with the APN and for a while had no internet and no picture texts. I entered the APN setting dirtydoge recommended and changed changed the network mode from "Global" to GSM LTE UMTS. Not sure if one or both were needed to fix the problem but its working now!
Thank you all very much for your help. Also i tried installing xposed and xtouchwiz and wasnt able to get the wifi tether working...not sure if i unchecked boot or not. But my phone had quite a bit of lag when xposed was installed, so i like the current setup better. I really appreciate your input and help.

Yea, closed will make your phone lag depending on which modules you use. But the WiFi tethering should work by default just by flashing the rom.

I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shoot! I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

Lol. I've done it before. Bit also Ayer putting your APN in, I've heard of it taking a few hours for the pic messages to start working again.

As an aside... if you don't want to root or modify APN...
I downloaded Package Disabler Pro (was $1.50 on Play Store) and was able to disable 'TetheringAutomation' and 'TetheringProvison' and now I can enable tethering with my grandfathered Unlimited plan. I am *NOT* rooted and am on PK1. It doesn't "check for activation" or whatever it was before, it simply enables tethering like the XPosed module does for root.
EDIT: It worked once, and now doesn't. Nevermind

It doesn't work like that on Nougat haven't tested on MM PK1 yet. If I disable those two on N it disables tethering completely.

I flashed the G930U firmware last month and the tether works "right out of the box" so to speak. No root needed or even changing APN settings, other than adjusting for Straight Talk. Even got an OTA a couple of weeks ago. Tether was my biggest reason to root so now I'm good.

With U firmware you lose Wifi calling though, right?
