Hey all,
I bought a locked to Rogers Network SGS4 1337M. I am a Bell customer, so I had the phone unlocked. The phone for some reason shows some Telus icons.
More bothersome, the wi-fi no longer works on the phone and gets stuck on "turning on". I tried factory reset etc...all to no avail.
I have decided to install Odin and flash an older version of android onto the phone as I heard this fixed the issue for some people. I have a few questions...
1) Can I flash a stock Bell mobility rom onto the phone even though it was once Rogers? (phone is now unlocked)
2) The phone came with 4.3, can I still downgrade? (I don't know if the other person upgraded it or not)
3) If I flash the Bell rom, will it re-lock the phone?
Thanks!!

Hello guys !
Last Sunday I bought a LG G2 D803 (Canada Telus version). Phone had jelly bean installed in it, was rooted (didn't know at point), was accepting any sim (made a few call with it). When I got home I connected it to the wifi and did the OTA update to kitkat. I found the phone stuck upon reboot to the lg logo. I used LG flash tool to put it back to stock and I have the phone now running kitkat (root lost). Now here is what is happening:
- Phone doesn't recognize any of the sims I have tried (Tried Rogers, ChatR, and Koodo). It doesn't everything else but says "No sim card"
- I checked about phone and I can see the IMEI and baseband and all that (it's not null nor void)
- I turned it off several times removed the sim for a while put it back and turn it on again no luck
- I used the flash tool to try to downgrade to jelly bean and no luck with that.
I am pretty sure that this is not a hardware problem (at least I hope). I am out of ideas though. Any suggestions as to what is causing the phone not to read sim cards and possible solutions?
Got it to work

This is what I did (I hope it helps someone who is stuck in the same situation):
1. Rooted phone by using Kingo App
2. Installed TWRP 2.7.0 with the AutoRec App
3. Rebooted into custom recovery
4. Did a wipe (except for data)
5. Fixed permissions
6. Turned it off
7. Removed sim for a couple of minutes
8. Put back sim and boot
Working now!!!
Hey all, just a few days ago my rooted Galaxy S4 SGH-i337m running KitKat 4.4.2 NE1 with Fido Canada suddenly said "Emergency Calls Only".
I rebooted it and it says :"your sim card does not allow a connection to this network". It has been working great for months until now. I have removed battery, sim card reset to factory, wiped cache and reloaded again. My sim card works fine in my Motorola RAZR, no problems whatsoever.
This is what I used with Odin:I337MVLUFNE1_I337MOYAFNE2_FMC. Still same issue. WiFi and everything else works just fine. APN is all fine also.
My S4 is not unlocked, just rooted ( but now it isnt after factory image reset.
Dunno what to do. I have even put a new Sim Card in but to no avail and it works also with my Motorola RAZR.
Any ideas??? Knox has been tripped so if I have to send it away, wonder how much it will cost?
Thanks
Kind of figured out that the NV/RUIM:SIM was messed up because my phone was picking up all the networks so it had to be something fairly simple. SO I downloaded Rogers KitKat from Firmware site ( so I thought ) and flashed it thru Odin 3.07. After it had finished and I had wiped my phone with Philz to load a new ROM I was shocked that it was Version 4.2.2!!!!
Now my connection is back, and the menu for unlocking the phone was all there so I did that while I was at it. Don't have another carriers Sim card to test it out but I followed instructions to a Tee and I am assuming that it worked.
Just have the WiFi/sound problems to deal with. I am ****ting car sized bricks as I thought you couldn't downgrade like that!!! I hope I can upgrade again as I had no problems with the 4.4.2.
Will search the Forums some more but in case anyone has the answer, please let me know as I am at work so time is limited.
Can I now load 4.4.2 Stock Fido Formware back onto my phone or will it totally screw up??? Knox was already tripped so I have nothing to lose
Hello there,
I rooted my phone with cm11 and decided to return it to stock form. I didnt realize at the time my phone was currently 4.4.2 before going to cm11. So when I went to unroot it with odin I put an earlier version of 4.4.2 on it and then the sound, wifi and phone calls wouldnt work. No sound at all, a black screen for phone calls, and the wifi refuses to turn on. So I downloaded the current 4.4.2 through kies and got it from my temp folder. I then flashed that one on my phone and its still the same.. Not sure what to do now.
My phone is an SGH-1337M with Bell so BMC.
I have the same issue but with a rogers S4, if you find a solution let me know.

So i recently flashed my device. I have an att note 3 i am having troubles using the wifi because everytime i turn it off or reset it the phone wont remember the wifi password or the wifi will get stuck on. I used to have 4.4.4 kitkat on it but when i flashed it i couldnt find the kitkat 4.4.4 and could only find a kitkat 4.4.2 that would work with my phone and actually flash my device i used for a tablet with an old sim card not connected to the network. I recently tried to put my girlfriends sim card in and update it off the att network but it wouldnt connect to the network even with her sim card in the device. I am having alot of trouble and its starting to cause fights between me and her and so i really need some help on how to fix this and update it. possibly a full factory reset. Also i removed a few of the att app that come on the phone the phone is rooted and superu is perm installed even when i factory reset through the boot settings it still is there. if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Hoping to get some assistance or maybe even just clarification on this topic...
So, I purchased an unlocked S8 Active with the Sprint branding for use on T-Mobile network. After updating the proper APN settings, I was up and running fine, but wanted to get Wi-Fi calling back, so I flashed over to the latest T-Mobile firmware available at Sammobile - G892USQS3BRG5. Ok, before you say anything, yes, it was stupid to flash a brand new v3 bootloader, but it's done so no going back (to my knowledge). Anyways, flash went fine on Odin 13.3.1, but upon reboot there is the Sprint splashscreen. It even tried to constantly verify the SIM card with the Sprint OMADM app, which I have since uninstalled through adb.
Any chance anyone can provide any insight into this (admittedly minor) issue? I don't really have any major issues other than the aforementioned Wi-Fi calling is gone, and I have to use a third party messaging app due to MMS not playing nicely with the Samsung version. Any help on this would be great, and maybe we can stir up some discussion to help prevent someone else from making the same mistake.
I'm curious where you got the ODIN you used.
I have an S8 Active, but an AT&T version, and need to do the same thing - I want to flash G892USQS3BRG5 onto it for the same reason - WiFi Calling won't work AND I cannot get cell calls when my WiFi is on which has resulted in me missing important calls.
When I tried to flash I got a PIT error using what I think was the same version of Odin (patched).
I'm pretty new at this reflashing stuff so perhaps I did something stupid?
Thanks
