[Q] After flashing stock firmware image, still "custom" status / Not receiving calls

[Q] After flashing stock firmware image, still "custom" status / Not receiving calls
I had flashed CWM and rooted my phone, then I ran into an issue where I couldn't receive MMS messages at all (I could on WiFi) but not via text.
Anyways, I fixed it by flashing a stock firmware image located here. However, after checking About Phone > status, my phone still states that it is a custom device.
I don't have any intention of using a warranty at the moment, but, this leads me to believe their are some left over files somewhere. If there are, where would I go about to remove this, or how can I go about fixing the custom status so it states it is official?
I also have another issue that if I am ever in a roaming area, instead of getting a call, the person calling me just gets sent straight to my voicemail. With no other option.
This is becoming incredibly annoying, because 90% of the time I am roaming in my dorm room, so, I keep missing calls when people call me.
I honestly don't know what to do. I have tried flashing the stock firmware, that didn't seem to help. The only other thing I can really do at this point, is try going to MDC versus MDL which is what I initially tried.

are you still rooted? if so then there is your problem. "flashing" a stock firmware dosent always mean you loose root.....since i cant click the hyperlink i cant see what you flashed. theres an app on the market called root checker. download it and make sure there is no root access. as for your roaming issue.....your sol cause thats the breaks. if yoru roaming then your not on the carriers network and if your not on the carriers network they cant do anything for you and whom evers network you may be able to connect to is not obligated to letting your call go through......some carriers block these types of calls during peak hours or at times of extreme volume to ensure they are providing the best service they can to their customers......so in short call sprint and try to get you an airave....assuming you have internet in your dorm room that may be a temporary fix.

As far as the airave, I have one already and that is at my parents house. So I doubt I would be able to get another one (especially for free because paying 100 dollars a month to get service is stupid). "Not Roam Control" tells me that I am roaming on US Cellular (best guess). I do have internet, but unfortunately, I have to authenticate every time I want to use the internet, and that requires software that can't be loaded onto an airave.
As far as the firmware I was flashing it was from Sammobile / the xda thread that has the non-rooted stock firmwares.

so your back to full stock, no custom recovery, no custom kernel,no custom rom,nothing just plain jane stock.....and this was done via ODIN correct?
ya so pretty much your sol on the whole roaming thing......sprint even has it in your contract that if you move outside a coverage area they are not obligated to provide you with service of any kind nor are they required to credit you for time spent without said services. if you cant use your phone for more than 50% of the time i would look at getting another carrier

[q] problems with gsm band. Please help me!!!

Please Help !!!
I have a SM-N910C.. As you know it is not cheap phone. Since I use it as a business phone, I have constantly to have the transmission and reception of data and the Possibility of calls and sending messages and e-mails.
The problem is when I travel around the country, once and for battery saving, I constantly got internet. Almost all my country is covered with a good signal, except for some parts between the mountains ........
When I want to switch to the Mobile Internet GSM only, losing connection. I can only call emergency calls. I did a factory reset on the phone three times and nothing helped. I have replaced the sim card that did not help.
Please, this is really important, help me.
Thank you very much.
P.S. The card I tried it on my sister's phone (Galaxy S4) and all works perfectly???

Some carriers decommissioned GSM services in favor of more modern 3G and LTE services. If your carrier decommissioned the GSM service, then you will not receive any 2G service even though you force your phone into it. There is not much we can do here if this is the case.

Of course, but do not have decommissioned GSM services. Like I sad, I tested the uSIMcard on SGS4. I had all services (GSM, WCDMA, LTE). I think that is problem in my phone. And when I was on 4.4 I was have GSM and WCDMA. I am realy confused?

I apologize for not understanding your problem the first time. This is definitely a modem problem of your Galaxy Note 4. The modem that is inside your Galaxy Note 4 is either not recognizing the GSM band of the carrier or not recognizing the proper driver/kernel made for the device. I think the best way to resolve this issue is appealing to the carrier. Visit your carrier store and show them the problem(show how your phone is not connecting to GSM signals). Then, ask for an exchange. If that doesn't work, contact Samsung and ask for RMA and replacement phone to use during repair process.

I thin that is the problem with modem. I am on stock rom, and I do not now? If I root my phone the knox will be 0x1. Is it psible to root with not triger the knox??

If you root, yes the knox will be tripped. As of now, there is no way of rooting safely without tripping knox.

From my past experience, flashing the kernel for the modem does not fix this issue where the modem itself doesn't fully recognize the kernel. However, you can try flashing the Poland stock rom which has the most stable modem package .so embedded.

Exclamation sign on network signal bar

Hi, there i updated my n910p to stock 6.0.1 PE1 and noticed that my phone is having exclamation mark on top on network signals when my phone is not connected to mobile internet or wifi , as soon as i connect , the mark is gone... is there a way to remove this mark?? it looks ugly...! my phone is rooted as well..

A screenshot? Not that I know the answer to your problem but it doesn't hurt to actually see that sign.

Try cleaning your SIM card to see if that helps. If it doesn't do a hard factory reset but clear the cache in the hard factory reset before doing it.

Now we are getting somewhere. There is a high probability that your device doesn't support your cell carriers LTE/4G bands. As US Sprint devices are designed to operate on their own LTE/4G bands.

Exactly. I had the same problem. 4G didn't work for me. I simply sold the phone and bought an N910c.

The exclamation mark will be there if there is no data or wi-fi connection available. I am afraid there is little you can do to remove it. But rest assured this is not a problem with the phone or the software. And Sprint unlocked phones are perfectly usable in 3G mode in the Indian Sub-continent. I have used a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 for more than a year without any problems. So there is nothing wrong with the phone or the update you received. If you still feel the need to remove it you can try a factory reset or try and switch the Network mode to 'Global' (Sprint phones being both CDMA/GSM compatible, should have a 'Global' mode) and see if the signal changes. Also try and keep Data on at all times and see. And from your comments it seems your phone is working fine both over wi-fi and Data Connection. So, don't get unnecessarily worried. Everything's fine.

I have a note 4 from sprint here in jamaica it shows the same exclamation sign but I can't make a call nor text

I have similar issue.

When I connect to wifi with no internet, I get the same "sign in to network" message. It can be recreated over and over. I like using my android device to control other devices over wifi, but this message drives me nuts. Also, my device will not automatically reconnect to wifi with no internet. This is a stupid setup. Can anyone help?

Welcome to XDA @mpot
I'm not sure if this will help but it's worth a try. Open "Developer option" in your phone settings and look for "Networking" and you'll notice additional WiFi settings are available.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.re...to_those_having_wifi_issues_on_60_use_legacy/
Oh, as long as your in there, I recommend setting Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animation duration scale to "0" or "Off". You'll notice a faster response when using your device.

loss of LTE

So i have been running pie beta for months. With the official release update, i lost all LTE. I have wiped, rewiped, reinstalled every way i can figure. Even downgraded back to oreo and allowed it to ota to pie. Nothing will fix this. Its just when i make calls. I have LTE for text, and web. When i dial a call it reverts to 3g, H+, or just doesnt call, it fails. This is on stock or custom or gsi. Any suggestions would be awesome. I literally have to swap my sim to another phone to make calls. Short of calling essential, i am so frustrated and dont know what to do. Any ideas? Anyone?

Afaik... It's a carrier thing... My guess is your carrier doesn't know what device you have... Or forgot... Or some identifier changed...

Sprint phone T-Mobile network root, new T-mobile sim, and still...

I'm so very hesitant to even try to root my phone or do anything with it because I just don't understand Android and I don't honestly have the time to learn it right now. And I mean that literally I have so much going on with trying to teach myself auto repair and keep myself from getting towed so my dog and I will not lose our home. But it seems to me that when I took it to T-Mobile and they switched out my sim there was an improvement but whether it's not being able to make a receive calls or not being able to access mobile data and now it just being so unbelievably slow but technically functioning correctly, I still can't believe that it won't benefit from a root or flashing a universal ROM. But I just don't understand Android and my illness doesn't make it any easier to understand or handle. I can't get rid of the Sprint apps and I cannot use T-Mobile's app and I assume that's because it didn't actually flash the firmware. When my a13 screen broke, I swapped it Sim into this S7 which I was fortunate to have access to and it sort of worked but I didn't have mobile data at that time so I have to take it to T-Mobile and have them help me figure it out we changed access points and long story short I simply cannot load a T-Mobile app even now. This is obviously the results of some sort of conflict within the firmware software whatever I don't know I don't have the ability to comprehend it. But it is unlocked I see the OEM unlock option it even says it's unlocked I see T-Mobile network... You know a picture is worth a thousand words can anybody help me make this phone fully functional? It's just a few more days I'll get a benefit check and I'm getting a new phone but I guess I've become slightly spoiled because I can't handle 2 minutes to load an app in my chaotic life. But I can figure it out I believe if somebody just points me in the right direction. But I always get that one detail wrong when I try to figure it out myself.

So to make sure I understand what you're asking...You're trying to use your phone on the T-Mobile network, but it shows Disconnected under Mobile Network and you're unable to make calls or use data, correct?
Unlocking the bootloader shouldn't affect this, nor should the ROM if you're using the factory Galaxy S7 firmware.
When exactly did this stop working, and did you do anything to the phone that may have been related to this problem?

Okay, thank you. I realized I had not done a factory reset, and so I did. As expected, I now cannot use mobile data, make or receive calls. Ive only ever entered recovery mode. Never had stock firmware. And when I factory reset, as I'm entering recovery aqa plop l mb drew it looked like it was updating firmware only to be followed by the little android guy looking like he's dead with "no command" or something to thateffect. .I'm on public. The S7 is a Sprint phone, I'm on the Magenta Max plan at T-Mobile. I still have the new SIM that the rep put in at a T-Mobile store, and while I can't use data or calls, it is performing as I would expect of a phone this old. And I still have sprint apps, of course, T-Mobiles app won't stop crashing. And I just need to know a few things. It's the CSC codes I don't quite understand. If I found y exact phones model firmware on Updato where it says to make certain you download the correct firmware... will this not just reinstall Sprint Firmware. The way I interpret all the warnings is if you download g930u or g930t and flash it, you will brick the phone.
So I want to be certain, is XAA, universal?
And I'm continuing writing this reply after getting back home, I did T-Mobile's access point again and now I have the ability to text and receive texts I can go online without Wi-Fi but I cannot make calls. Modem issue correct? I just don't understand how that works with cellular. And I have this funny feeling that nobody at any T-Mobile store will know anything as much as you people do. So once again thank you so freaking much.

One more thing this means by the phrasing of it that it's not unlocked but I can unlock it right? Or is it such an old phone that its somehow is just a flick of a switch and it's unlocked?

Okay, so you used this phone on Sprint and brought it over to T-Mobile? Sprint and TMobile are totally different networks, Sprint is (was) CDMA and TMobile is GSM. The two are not compatible. If your S7 is a Sprint specific variant (G930P) I don't think you can use it on TMobile and will have to get a new phone.

There are a few CSCs, but they honestly don't matter. Just use any North American one. The CSC isn't the same as your device model. You shouldn't use G930U on anything but a G930U.

Cell phones use digital radios. The modem is the chipset that handles all the wireless communication. Like I said before, it's possible that your G930P isn't compatible with the TMobile network.
My suggestion: Call T-Mobile. If they gave you the SIM knowing what phone you were going to use, they should help you get it working. It sounds to me like a network provisioning issue, and that's not something anyone here will be able to help with.

i reformatted because it was my fathers, i had **** on there i didnt need to access, see or have cluttering. and a fresh start never hurts any tech in 99% of cases in my experience. it boot just fine. but it was once again a purely sprint phone. i knew it would be, but i think i was only able to make calls because the new T-Mobile SIM was affected by the reset to Sprint variation of the stock firmware. stock is fresh from Samsung with no bloatware. no alterations, there is factory reset, and factory reset from an originally unlocked no carrier ever assigned firmware. correct me if anything is wrong there. but i do think i just need to go to tmobile again to get my phone call function back. but does this mean i can never remove the the sprint startup logo, bloatware (with is any sprint app in my mind thus not stock) And never will be able to use a t-mobile app? if my phone is version 8 oreo, the baseband or pda is the same, as is everything except the fact that my model is a 930P and not 930T then the 930T will potentially break it?
additional questions, in recovery with no bootloader what is apply update from SD or ADB, is that anything firmware related if i do another factory reset and can ODIN or the firmware itself be loaded on my sd and flash itself?
im on a laptop and thats something im more familiar with by comparison. but custom desktops are my forte. a desktop you modify all you want and you can generally very easily fix a mistake. laptops, a tiny mistake and its taken me 6 months to just today think i can save it and save myself a 1000s buck likely. im learning the true definition of proprietary gree.... ahem software and hardware. I cant install and NVIDIA 1660ti graphics driver from NVIDIA directly and unless Lenovo modifies it i lose my display and cannot see what i need to fix. this concept is my question in regards to g930p to g930 u or XAA versions. of 8.0 oreo with everything matching except nowhere on my phone is the CSC code of SPR for sprint.
lastly, my theory is that i thought tmobile bought sprint, if they did, it makes sense T-Mobile wants to slap somthing on a product or software as a big HAHA because of how customer service quality has plummeted worldwide to appalling levels. its disgusting. but ill stop there or ill write a novel on that.
regardless i thank you all for your help. i will live till i get my social security check, but i need to bring an extra two battery banks. my NOCO CAR JUMPSTARTER died trying to keep it alive for a 2 hour long appointment. todays apps just demand too much and too many apps are secretly recording, tracking, advertising and hell in all likelyhood nefariously intended functions. just think of McAfee virus, damn near impossible to get rid of and used to be harder, costs a fortune, slows your rig and a hacker still sent a power surge into my pc killing that 3K PC desktop. smart but careless cause he somehow left screenshots of the DDOS program he used when accessing my OneDrive.
i like information, sorry to blather on, most is useless probably but hopefully you find a diamond in all that rambling.
