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!

[Q] Korean G2 in North America

Hey Gang,
Seriously considering a G2, specifically the Korean version with the Micro Sim and removal battery. Anyone with a Korean G2 in North America? Any hiccups to report?

I don't but I came over from Germany with an European phone. Actually no limitations besides only working on Att frequencies and only up to 4G but no LTE. For you is important to check on the Korean versions basebands and if it uses American bands and importantly if you they are for T Mobile or ATT.

Well I don't know about the G2 and boot loader. I ment that I came over from Germany with a international device. Not a G2 a Sony xperia z and it works but like I said if u get an non USA phone u need to check on the basebands so u know with what carrier it will work. Lte most likely won't work in the USA.

LTE bands probably won't work. Nor the tv antenna. Wondering if i made the right move here, just to get a micro sd and removable battery. Time will tell.

Well I am using the F320S, no boot loader and for hard reset I normally just push and hold the power button till it resets or just remove the battery.

T- MOBILE Sim Card Problem

Hello Guys... i have bought a at&t galaxy s4... the phone was locked to at&t i bougth an unlock code on ebay.. cuz i want to use the phone on t mobile... when i inserted a t mobile sim card.. the phone says no sim.. so i get a sim card from simplemobile then so i put simplemobile sim card and phone ask me for a unlock code i put the code i bougth on ebay.. and says unlock sucefully .. now i can use simplemobile... but when i try using my t mobile sim card the phone still saying no sim.. i also try my friends sim card he is using a S4 too... and still says no sim.. the i try my father's t mobile sim card and the same no sim
does anyone can help me please.. i have my plan whit t mobile.. i dont want to switch to simplemobile

The SIM card may be locked to the device it was activated on. I suggest going to a T-Mobile store to see if they can help.

i tried 3 sim card ... DId they lock all the sim cards?? .. thanks for the suggest i will go to t mobile today

It is likely that they lock the cards to the device that the card is activated with. It seems like it is the only possible reason that you can't use T-Mobile cards.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I went to t-mobile. They tried another sim car and the phones was the same no sim... the said that the problem was with the phone cuz the sim cards are news and working on other phones... i dont know why the problem is only with t-mobile sim cards.. they say that if the phone was from t-mobile they could change me for another phone but it is at&t.... do u you think that it will be any problem if i go to at&t and tell the that my phone is unlocked but it doesnt read t-mobiles' sim cards

Is it possible that you didn't unlock all the bands on your device? There is a tutorial around here somewhere that shows how to unlock all the bands for use with absolutely any carrier. From my understanding it is different then just unlocking with a code.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes but it should said invalid sim car or ask me for that code when i insert t-mobile sim card... but the phones says no sim.. it doesnt even read the sim.... and when u unlock with a code i think is like factory unlock cuz my father unlock his phone with a code and his phone works fine

That's misleading, it's the same SIM, designed differently. I had self-cut SIM for a long time - it's not a problem. Your phone must have some hardware failure, like with PCs. It might be the CPU or the memory. I'd take it to customer service to try get it repaired / get a replacement.

This is not a good advice. Before anything he have to replace the Sim to the real MicroSIM. If you did that and is working do not matter at all. Is not the right thing to do just to avoid 5 bucks. If the problem will persist with the new microSIM then yes, it will be a problem, but first have to be replaced the Sim.

Get a new Micro SIM.

Does your phone get hot? Sometimes a rogue app can keep your CPU at max speed and it will make your device hot, thus phone will reboot by itself.
Just my 2 cents

it could be some app tat causes all the memory(RAM) to be used up.
anyway i also do cut the SIM card to microSIM myself. but of cos if u cut it rite, shouldnt hav any problem.

The problem is not the sim that I've cutted, tonight I've taked off my sim, and the phone hai restarted... The problem, i think is th battery or the motherboard....

After the Update to .136, reboot your phone once and then make a factory reset to clean up the installation then all should be fine.

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:
