I have an LG G2 that was originally for T-Mobile. I unlocked it and put my father's sim card inside (ATT) and he can text/call without any problems, its his data (mobile network) that isnt working. Is there settings I need to change to get the data to work and if so where are they located and what information I need to put there.
Ive been looking for a while now and google isnt any help lol.
It is rooted, it has clean-rom installed (the latest one, I think that is 1.3 and in the setup I put T-Mobile as it is a T-Mobile phone). If I have to re-install the clean-rom to ATT settings will that do it? If not will stock firmware make it work?
Hope to hear from you guys soon! My dad want to use this phone lol. THanks again!
In the settings under Network I just noticed it says under Mobile network state "Disconnected".
Nevermind sorry! I was able to find the APN settings finally and was able to find ATT apn codes.
Thanks again, please close

That is the EXACT same story with my sister's phone I did for her. I spent hours on the phone with ATT after I unlocked it and they put in the code but still no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi there! Can somebody help me with this problem? I had bought my phone in Orange Sk- it was branded, but it was 2.1, after some time I catched up official update to 2.2, but from T-mobile, so I downloaded it from Hungarian webpage (Slovak T-mobile did't released yet), installed one patch and finnaly Android 2.2. It was locked, so I unlocked it. I can make phonecalls, send SMS, but for some reason I cannot use my mobile network for net accessing. I'd checked every setting but nothing works. My phone is not rooted and I don't wanna root it, is there any chance to make this up?
Thanks.

Hi Guys hopefully someone can help me with this. I wanted to switch carriers today and found the phone not getting a signal even though I know the SIM works. So i ran 2945#*802# and it comes up with the message "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". It doesn't prompt me to type in any unlock codes or anything. The only option is to dismiss the message. When i turn the phone on the only code it prompts me for is the SIM card pin.
I called up the carrier and it turns out none of the carriers in our country are allowed to network lock phones ( our country communications act) so they wouldn't be able to help me
Has anyone dealt with this recently? Please help.. thanks!
The phone is the D802 (int) variant.
Where did you get the phone? Have you tried flashing/restoring the phone?
got it from a local carrier, was switching from them as their signal is terrible. I did try flashing the stock rom but no luck :/
What country be more specific so people can help you.

sir not worked for me i am from pk,http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Got same on 802 int from uk talk talk.
Any ideas?
I have same problem on O2 uk o2 say I must have entered wrong unlatching code several times! But I have never had oppotunity to enter a unlock code because I can't get past "phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". Only thing I can think is O2 sold me a refurb and fobbed me off with it being a new phone I paid over two years for fone on refresh and cannot now unlock to sell on although they will offer me £30 for it on there recycle plan. Wish I had not upgraded with them now #rippedoff
Hello there, I'm new here..and new to Android.
My note 3 will not connect to the network, I spook with Tmobile for help and they told me to upgrade to the new KK and that should help me.
Well the thing is...It never helped. I rooted the note 3 in the past and I know that I lost my warranty on it.
Please help me, I don't have serves.
Thank you.:good::good:

#1: Make sure your phone is NOT in "Airplane Mode"
#2: Make sure Wifi Calling is DISABLED
#3: Remove and re-install the Tmobile Sim card
#4: Goto Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators Search Now and
click "Select Automatically", it may take a minute or so for it to find the network.
Good luck!

So the phone is T mobile, I triad all of the above. Sorry about the lake of INFO, the rooted in the past the phone, and I did not like the ROM that I had on it so I unrooted the phone the original start( so it works ) and then the phone jut died on my. So i update the software, did factory resat, and root the phone from the beginning, but still the phone is not working.
The sim is new, I triad that on another phone, I still have my IMEI.
Can I put an old version on in it with Odin, after I put the new KK. the problem is the I did not backup the phone, so I don't have any thing on my PC..
Thank you so mach!
Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 here and I need to get the SIM unlocked on it. See at the moment it's registered to O2 with an O2 sim card. Putting in another gives the message: 'SIM network unlock PIN' and requires a passcode. There are many guides on the internet which instruct people how to use the service menu *#0011# to change the network settings, but unfortunately I can't access the controls (the main menu doesn't appear regardless of what I do). Also there's something called "GalaxSim Unlock", an app, but I've installed this and it doesn't work either (gives the error no unlock method known for this device).
I've managed to use Odin to root the phone...or at least I think I have - but everything is exactly the same. Can anyone on here help me because it's a real pain in the arse.
I'd be happy to discuss it on Skype if you'd prefer by the way. PM me and I'll give you my ID - I would post back the solution here just so anyone reading knows.
Phone details:
Type: SAMSUNG Galaxy S4
Model: GT-I9505
OS: Android 4.4.2
Baseband version: I9505XXUFNB9
Kernal version: 3.4.0-481100

That method via *#0011# doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately only paid solution for now. I got mine unlocked within 40 min and cost me €15.
Yeah, unlock it by IMEI :highfive:
Really? There's no way to unlock it via changing the software?
I know of people who've managed to unlock their iPhones using jailbreaks - I would've thought on android it would be even easier. There's really no way to do it, despite being able to install a completely new operating system?

Nope.
****ter. Okay, no worries.
Another question: If I put let's say, a vodafone SIM card in it now and get it unlocked, will I have to pay again if I change to a different SIM card later, say Orange? Will I need to pay to get it unlocked twice or is it just once for all networks?
Thanks again.

You have a video showing you how do it: HERE. You only need buy a unlock CODE. About your question: You only have to pay one time for unlock your phone for all networks.

Hi, I had unrooted my i9505 and updated to kitkat (02 version). I am actually on the Tesco network and I thought that is what Tesco used. The rom seems fine, along with the network in general but I cannot use any mobile data networks. Does anyone know if this is because of the wrong rom or could this be a different error?
I have searched the forum and internet for a few hours but found nothing related to Tesco GS4 roms! : I used the 02 4.3 one from here and then update via keys to 4.4.2 -

Thanks!
Tesco and o2 share the same network, but they probably have different access point settings. if you go to the tescomobile website or call support they should be able to send you some settings to ensure you have the right APN?
Are you connected to TESCO (it says TESCO in the carrier label when you pull down notifications?) Just also check that in "settings/more networks/mobile networks/access point names" that it relates to tesco and not to o2?

Started to work through these settings, forgot to try the APN. In a little bit of a pickle at the moment as I tried to flash an unbranded rom via odin and now cant boot the phone..Need to fix with kies it says but its not appearing. Think the APN was the problem when the phone (hopefully) starts working again.
Thanks!
Fingers Crossed. You should be able to use the unbranded ROM though. The only difference should be the preinstalled apps and maybe some backgrounds/branding on the boot logo etc?
