My SGH-i337 is unlocked and has the locked boot loader. I can make phone calls with my T-Mobile SIM card but can not access data via network. It also would not allow hot spot tethering. I quarantined the tethering app with es-file mgr and can now tether. How do I get the network data to turn on?

check the APN settings and set them to the T-Mobile apn (google what it is)
no network data unlocked ATT S4 T-mobile
A BIG thank you! I was getting ready to sell the phone. The data speed is awesome and better than my home cable service. I will keep monitoring for someone to come up with a new boot loader allowing for a custom ROM. The phone is a great piece of hardware. It is a shame the boot loader is locked.

Hello, I had originally purchased a Samsung Focus unlocked for use on the Rogers network in Canada. I had no data until I installed Samsung's network profile app and switched it to Rogers. I have since switched to Koodo as a carrier. I once again have no data only this time there is not an option on the network profile application.
Any ideas on how to get data?
EDIT: Sorry, and do so if I wanted to not use Chevron's unlock method then get Samsung tools. So as in, is there any other way.
For data, you don't need the Samsung Network tool at all. You just need find out the APN for your new carrier and put it in. The Network tool is only needed for MMS.
Here is the APN for Koodo:
◦APN: sp.koodo.com
Hi I recently unlocked my G1 with a code, I had service. after I had to activate the phone but my sim card wasn't provisionned for data.so I turned off.Now when I put sim card the phone don't see any network,it don't ask me unlock code.I have no ideas please help me.
do you have tmobile sim? you shouldn't need a code.. but if you dont have a data plan it shouldn't matter anyway bcuz you cant do anything with the sim... basically can only use wifi and if your device is rooted you dont need a sim, sorry if i mis understood the question
Once you unlock your G1 from T-Mobile, it stay unlock. You can use any SIM from any network, but you might have to setup the APN for your vendor. (IE: AT&T, Sprint, etc...)
As stated by ldrifta if you don't have data service from your vendor, you can only get internet (online) using wifi.
So, in order for you to get provision you will have to get with your vendor to pay for the service.
I have good apn settings for my vendor mcc,mnc,apn and so but I still don't have service. I'm anxious for that, or I need to activate first using wifi before having service?
Since you have already unlock your G1, my suggestion is to get the data service. So you can start using it.
I tried a friend sim card provided with data service but it sill don't see any network,no service.Do you have any idea about it.Thanks
Go to Setting >> Wireless & Network >> Mobile Networks >> Network Operators
And select your vendor network you supposed to be on. That should registered your phone on your vendor network.
ok I will try
I bought a Htc Verizon Trophy and had it factory unlocked by Verizon . Popped in my AT&T sim card and it only gets edge and not 3G . I performed several hard resets and entered the correct APN settings and still no 3G. T-mobile sim card works also but edge is expected. Voice and Internet work great but I was under the impression that it was dual mode and has the AT&T 3G radios and should work on 3G.
Any suggestions or pointers on getting the 3G working?
Thanks
Download "HTC Connection Setup" under the HTC apps in the Market. Select AT&T from the settings and it should help you out.
Also, make sure your AT&T area offers 3G coverage. In my area of Northwest PA, 3G coverage is almost none existent. Basically, if your sim allowed 3G on another phone before, it should be okay (or check AT&T coverage map).
Be careful, I used this program to set my Verizon settings and now I can't get data on Verizon anymore. . Guess that's what I get for playing around.

Did you restore your trophy to a backup from before you used HTC connection setup? I just did the interop unlock for my trophy as well and I cant get 3G data back. Im hoping restoring the phone to an old backup will fix the problem. Verizon better not have somehow blocked our phones from getting 3G!
Have a unlocked Verizon Moto E4. Trying to setup a wifi hotspot, and it sets up fine, and connects fine as well.
Problem is is the connected devices cannot access the internet.
Same sim works fine in a Galaxy S7 setup as hotspot so it's not T-Mobile. It's something to do with the Moto E4. Anyone got any leads?
TIA.

Some phones check with the carrier to determine if hotspot is allowed. Moto phones do this check, so I think that is the issue.

Actually, in your case it would be checking with T-Mobile. I know I tried it with a Freedompop LTE SIM which runs on AT&T and it would say "checking subscription status" and then say it couldn't connect to the server and the hotspot wouldn't start. In that case it checks with AT&T.
When I tried with the same with a Freedompop Global SIM which runs on T-Mobile, it does the same as yours - starts the hotspot and allows connection but no internet connection for the connected devices.
If you were running it on Verizon Prepaid, they allow hotspot on all their prepaid plans except their unlimited plan.

guess you didnt read the OP, the same sim works as a hotspot on my international s7.
I had this problem with a retail bought carrier unlocked phone with Sprint, with an unlocked bootloader, and rooted. I narrowed it down to two possibilities. The first is the E4 (retail, carrier unlocked - on Sprint at least) needs an ISIM (I don't know if this is just for CDMA networks or not). ISIM cards apparently have additional software on them that may be part of the problem. The other possibility is there have been changes made by Google to Android to try to stop bypassing carrier tethering restrictions.
That said, I did activate the phone first, then unlocked the bootloader, and proceeded to root. When I have the chance, I'm going to try flashing it back to stock to clear out everything I tried, root, make the necessary changes to build.prop and the global settings db, and then reactivate to see if it makes a difference. Otherwise I'll be experimenting with other ROMs/firmware when something is available.

I did. I'm assuming that your S7 doesn't do the same check.

very strange ..I believe its got something to do with the fact that its a Verizon phone. They must have blocked it on the device.

well, the problem I have is this is a Verizon phone, so I cannot unlock the BL and root it
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
The fix is to edit the build.prop by adding the line net.tethering.noprovisioning=true but since Motorola will not allow a Verizon XT1767PP bootloader to be unlocked; there is no solution?
FoxFi no longer works with Android 7.
The command did not help.
adb shell settings put global net.tethering.noprovisioning true
adb shell settings put system net.tethering.noprovisioning true
I know this is an old thread now, but by any chance did you try adding default,dun,supl to your apns "apn type" part?
I know this is a long shot as far as getting an answer but I'll try to be as accurate as possible.
Have a sprint s7 running nougat. Had the hotspot working via this method.
Anyway I recently had it sim unlocked and switched to cricket. Hotspot still works fine. No data toggle required. But I'd like to reset the carrier branding and get rid of the sprint bloat and options including the annoying hands free activation via the ##brand# command in the dialer. My question is, will that change the way the hotspot checks for authorization and end up breaking it? Or will it continue to function? I'm terrified of losing my hotspot since I can't root in an effort to fix it.

I have my non-rooted s7 with working hotspot on Tello (Sprint MNVO) without usb/adb tricks.
After ##brand# command phone will reset to remove sprint bloatware. When I insert Tello or Sprint sim, phone reboots and all bloatware comes back.
To keep bloatware away, follow the steps below:
1. Remove any sim card and do ##brand# to reset the phone.
2. After reboot without sim card use Package Disabler Pro to disable three items: 1)Mobile ID (com.sprint.w.installer) 2) com.samsung.syncmlphoneif 3) com.samsung.syncservice
3. Reboot the phone and insert your sim card.
With these steps my phone is working well on sprint network without Sprint bloatware and hotspot works as well.
I don't have to disable those apps as I now use a cricket sim and they'll be gone after the carrier reset anyway. My concern is that right now the hotspot is checking my subscription via the "sprint" way. I need to know if after the reset, will it do it the "cricket" way and break my hotspot? And does the mod I linked above have any affect here?

AT&T or T-Mobile MNVO sim card does not trigger sprint configuration/bloatware after ##brand# reset, so there will be no restriction for hotspot. Hotspot on my phone does not perform any service check from sprint.
My sprint hotspot work fine but do you know why it connection maximum is 1 device only. Anyway to fix this?
