[Q] Can't make calls????

I have looked at all of the threads and here goes...
I can't make phone calls. When I do I get a friendly message saying, "connection cannot be made." It seems to me that there is a disconnect with my provider. The provider is Sunrise.
Here are the details on the phone:
It is a Sony Xperia with the latest update 2.1 baseband .54. It is a "branded" phone from Orange Switzerland, but completely unlocked. I checked on the branded by looking at the services numbers.
I then modded the phone, and the phone call problems began. I did wipe everything as per the regular instructions. I upgraded using xrecovery. The phone can connect to Sunrise, and per the services menu it states connected to Sunrise. I can use the Internet connection, thus surf, get email, etc. What I cannot do is make a phone call.
Model: X10i
Android version: 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: FreeX10-beta4_zdzihu
When I originally started the device I was asked for a network code and dismissed that dialog. Anything to do with it? And if so how do I get it back?
I want to stress that I wiped the machine clean with factory reset, etc, etc...

Before Pilot labels this thread as "Another thread in the wrong section", why don't try updating to the latest gingerbread update, instead of staying in freex10 which was abandoned a while back.
The new update has baseband. 71, which by far, is the best baseband for me in Australia, and surely so in Switzerland. Best signal and battery is amazing. Try upgrading to Wolfbreak's official 2.3.3!
Hope this is fixed

The problem we have here in Switzerland is that we are about the last in line to get an update. This is why I went down the modding route. It is quite annoying.... Baseband 54 is the latest and greatest baseband in Switzerland for the X10. Sony wants us to buy the ARC... I bought this phone JUST before they introduced the Arc...
Ok which forum should I have been posting this in?

[Q] going from b526 to b528 possible? and many problems with b526

I have been trying to figure a few things out.
Running standard b526, but i have no wifi, no bluetooth and the u8800 has only seen the at&t network twice for a total of 10 seconds so no calls, texts, etc.
Battery is not working, and my only way to comuicate with it is through a usb cable.
android 2.3.5 kernal 2.6.35.7 and b526 op.
Everything worked till the download, which i foolishly dowloaded with no knowledge. I also didn't know about mods, rooting, ect. This place is a great repository of information, but alas after over 30 hours of reading, I'm afraid it's beyond my scope.
Any links or info would be very helpful, and thank you for your time.

Can you check if your imei is null or not? You can find this information in settings about phone system information. If its nulled and you didnt back it before you need to send your phone to guarentee.
Sent from my U8800

Are you running a u8800+ (Impulse 4g) on at&t? I don't think those updates were for your phone. Baseband etc is not correct for your network. try find an official at&t rom and reflash, otherwise you are going to need to send it away to be reflashed by at&t.

Can you check if your imei is null or not? You can find this information in settings about phone system information. If its nulled and you didnt back it before you need to send your phone to guarentee.
imei is good, got battery working still boots to b526 but no service, no wifi, no bluetooth.
contacted at&t.... told never to dowload from sites other than at&t not even the manufacture. Warranty is blown cause of download. I somehow have to get this b526 working or I'm stuck with a really pretty os that does nothing.
By the way, the last programing I did was Fortran in the 80's, so i'm a bit slow on how this stuff works i.e. reflash from at&t, rooting etc... They said i would i would have to have a 3rd party reflash my phone.
Thanks for the help. I'll continue searching the forum.
*I had no idea that my phone was a u8800-51 (AT&T impulse 4g) non of the gb rom are meant for it. hope to recieve the original root today.

Partial Fix
I found an orginal root for u8800PRO. Flashed it, has taken me down to 2.2.2 now to get the AT&T part working.

Hello,
Do you find an issue ? I have almost the same problem. I think the problem is un baseband problem but i amn't sure !!!!

which country are you from? I think its got something to do with the firmware version or perhaps the frequency of GSM/LTE is different from where you bought it and where you're actually using it now.

[Q] Canadian Note 3 Help

Hello. Please forgive me for being a noob, but I'll do my best to be precise.
But, I decided to sign up and create a topic here because I need some specific help and/or clarification.
(Sorry if I am perhaps not in the correct place but my brain is numb from hours of reading all areas here)
The story:
Purchased used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in Canada originally on WIND Mobile. Unlocked phone for use on TELUS.
After a month, the phone ended up getting blocked IMEI due to it being reported lost/stolen.
Purchased "IMEI repair" service with free SIM unlock and sent phone away to "Joe The Android Rooter" (androidrooter.com) based on other's similar experiences and praise.
Received phone back, IMEI good, phone in good working order.
The problem:
The Note 3 with manual APN settings via a phone call with Telus only has Network Mode options WCDMA/GSM (Auto), WCDMA or GSM only. Phone gets 3G signal. Slow data speeds are fine, but my text messaging and phone calls rarely work where I live, which is a rural area. Dropped calls, lost texts, or no service. My Samsung Galaxy S3 does LTE and never has an issue. I would prefer to have faster data and reliable network/modem mode.
Called Telus again, and was directed to this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489766
Have been reading around here wherever I could find information, and I'm not totally confident or clear about doing that.
It is all a little confusing to me so I need some straight forward help. I would be forever in debt.
The questions:
According to that thread, I would have to follow all those steps to enable LTE on my phone. What do I need to ensure that nothing has been modified with the IMEI repair so I don't run into any problems?
I tried the step of using the dialer for *#272*[IMEI]# and it brought me the options, and the Telus one (TLS) is listed. Can I just make that change, and voila? Or do I have perform root, etc? I'm just trying to make this easy and from what I read, I shouldn't even have been able to bring up that option through the dialer in the first place?
This thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618684 made me second guess everything.

You just have to do the 272 code to switch to Telus... You should have lte after that. But beware, this will completely reset your device... You will have to reconfigure it from scratch.
You might as well upgrade it to the latest firmware... Your baseband should be nb7 also... Or ni1 if you use the latest videotron firmware to manually upgrade. To your will still have to change the csc (272 code) to get the correct config from r Telus

Resetting isnt an issue or anything. My main concern is doing the code/csc change, still being able to do OTA updates, or at least over Kies. I'm happy enough sticking with OTA and TouchWiz and not toying around with the phone otherwise.
I've rooted (and loved) all my devices in the past (HTC, Motorola, LG) but had such a problem with my Galaxy SIII and when I tried to root it, not only was it the most difficult, but it turned it into a nice paperweight.
I got a good deal on this phone and like the size is all.

If you change the csc with the 272 code, you shouldn't have any trouble doing ota updates. All stock Canadian roms are exactly the same... You can download and install a bell rom on a Rogers device and retain your Rogers apps/config. Only the csc is changing... And this csc is there to reconfigure your device for the specific provider.
Worst thing worst, you will have to manually download and install the latest stock rom with Odin... And after that, you will be fine. But I really doubt that you will have to do this.

Well thank you!
I backed up the phone with Kies just to save my settings and simple stuff so I wouldn't have to do it again manually, but I don't mind doing it again if I have to.
Used the code to change the CSC, rebooted, LTE is working fine. Texts+calls all function like they used to without dropping my signal and stuff.
Just using Kies to restore little stuff and I'm good.
I checked to see if I have root, which I don't. What I wonder is why everything I read told me I shouldn't have been able to simply dial that code and change the CSC without rooting? I have seen a number of people having similar issues, but if it really was this simple without root, why is it not clear that you simply just need to do this? Heck, even Telus told me to root the phone. I didn't expect that.

You never have to root a phone to change the csc when the target csc is already included on your rom... Which is the case for the Canadian version of the note 3... It contains all csc for all Canadian providers (at least those that are selling it). And I think it's the same for all recent Samsung devices...
I believe You need root to change csc when the csc you want to use is not in your rom and you want to flash an other rom that includes the new csc.

How come then, such as on that thread here that initially sparked my willingness to do all this, was it not simply mentioned in there that one could just use the code and make the change, without having to deal with all the rooting/etc?
Of course rooting has many benefits, but some may just simply need the carrier/radio switch to enable LTE and nothing more - such as myself. (I'm okay with stock because of the S-Pen, but I am certainly considering rooting the device down the road, once it becomes "stale" to me)
As stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489766 "Have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (model: SM-N900W8) and wish to enable LTE for a specific carrier? Follow these in-depth instructions and you will enable LTE for this specific model." which was the most comprehensive thing I could find via Google, but it really did make me wonder if it was all truly needed, to which it was not.

probably no one know at that time that all Canadian Note 3 were using the exact same rom...
that being said, not all SM-N900W8 are the same... this model is also used in other contries... so if one had bought it somewhere else, he would need to do more things to finally get LTE and/or the correct carrier apps.
The thread is from April... and at that time, I just had my device for a few days... and I did not know that we could only change the CSC to switch the configuration for an other provider. I learned a lot by reading on this subject here and there.

Maybe i'm wrong but i noticed you have NB7 Rom but MJ4 baseband and your problem is probably here. I bought a used note 3 and it was in the same condition. i wasn't getting LTE. If you try to upgrade your phone via ODIN, you have to go to download mode by powering off the phone first . If you go to download mode by any other way the modem partition is protected and will be not updated. I've reflashed the entire Rom and now i have NB7 baseband and NB7 Rom and i'm getting LTE with fido. Hope this helps!

That's what I was concerned about at the beginning (NB7 & MJ4) but my solution was to quickly backup what few things I wanted to keep from my phone (a few pictures, contacts, settings) and then do the *#272 code and select Telus. Once it rebooted, everything worked good as new. In fact, my up/down speeds are through the roof compared to the SGS3 that I had previously and for whatever reason the quality of sound in phone calls are dramatically increased. Like AM radio to FM.
Either way, doing that code, nothing else had to be done on my phone - no rooting, no tinkering and no hassle - other than entering the code and selecting Telus.

CDMA To GSM on any Custom Rom

Hello, guys, how are you ...?
I recently bought a galaxy s4 from verizon, as you know this device comes with the bootloader blocked so it does not allow changes in the system: (neither TWRP nor Roms anything, only root and module changes by flash fire) so I decided to buy a board of a SPH-L720 that works perfectly, until all very well the board brought stock rom and everything was great as far as wireless networks, so I decided to do root and change the recovery to install octos everything came out Good and booom! I had android 7.1.1 running on my sph l720, but there was a small problem THE MOBILE NET NOT WORKED anything 3g or 4g or anything, also in the settings did not allow to select preferred network type because it gave me a Error when doing it also with the code * # * # 4636 # * # * when selecting the gsm returned to LTE / CDMA and this was starting to annoy me so much because in my country CDMA is not useful and I was without service.
It happens that apparently the developers of this rom and the 10 most that proves they forgot to put in the build.pro the global network mode as preferred, so the cell phone only worked with LTE / CDMA and nothing else, so Try more than 20 ways install again stock and worked the network (but did not want stock wanted 7.1.1) so change the baseband and nothing at all this took me more than 4 days parting my eyes for a stupid error of the build. Prop so I found a tutorial on the net that gave me the link to a zip file flasheable by recovery and ready after 3 minutes select from 3g boomer and booom my cell running on 3g full and no signal decay thanks To all because I read all the help post and no one answered
Please send me imbox to pass the link since being new could not upload the link I will give them free

Idiots fall for anything.

I'm guessing that the OP was just spreading some BS, but I actually came here today looking for something that will allow GSM service on custom ROMs. My LG G3 just crapped out, so I had to get my 720T unlocked so I could use it on AT&T until I can afford to get something better. It works well enough on the stock ROM (although 3G kinda sucks) but it constantly switches between US Cellular and AT&T when I'm running a custom ROM, making it effectively useless.
Anyone know of any ROMs that can be flashed on the 720T that will enable GSM networks; any way to modify the popular ROMs floating around so they'll do what I need?
