I bought Galaxy S7 from T-Mobile and switch to Verizon network, however the phone does not connect to Verizon network, it connect to AT&T and even when I try to use my international SIM card it works just fine except with Verizon.
I flashed the modem image of Verizon Galaxy S7 and I was able to get 4G LTE signal but no phone calls or SMS I tried to flash the Verizon image with no luck it gave me about the PIT file, I tried the TMobile PIT the Verizon image was larger than the TMobile partition.
Can anyone help me figure out which image or what partial image I can Flash to make the phone capable of using the Verizon phone network?
Hardware isnt compatible. Verizon is cdma tmobile/att/cricket is gsm. Been down that road. Cricket now has an unlimited lte plan for 65$ thats where I went. Best deal out there and prepaid, bill is always the same every month

There were differences before, but this isn't the case anymore, Verizon is GSM/CDMA today, and they default to GSM, and as for the GS7 there is absolutely no HW difference between the US market versions.
Can someone help me figuring which image contain the drivers/code that control which frequency the phone chip connect to.
To be more clear modem.img in android control the 4G/3G driver, what control the voice transport driver?

APN settings control data link, not voice link.
FYI I have right APN .

This is not true anymore, that changed when they started using sim cards.

Does the TMo version support all the LTE bands that Verizon has? Also, in the case you don't have LTE service, you won't get 3G at all, since Verizon doesn't support HSPA at all.

The CDMA radio on board isn't compatible with VZW voice network. This has been true for ages. VZW won't let a non-vzw certified device on their voice network because they literally don't have to. If your device supports compatible VoLTE that might work as it sends the call over GSM but if you ever lose LTE signal you won't be able to use that side of the network.

you can just flash to the verizon version without rooting the phone. Using odin.

Flash through odin doesn't require unlock bootloader. From what I have read. All four carrier can flash to each other without trigger anything.
N/a
When I try to flash using Odin, I get a message saying that the system image is larger than the partition, I tried to use the Verizon PIT to partition the storage with no luck!

I have an unrooted ATT S4 and an unrooted Note 3 on T Mobile which is unlocked that I use on ATT.
With the ATT simcard inside the S4 I only receive HSPA and no LTE service, with the same simcard in the Note 3 I get LTE service ( according to network signal info app ). I tried checking my APN settings on the S4 and it looks okay, infact I created another just to make sure.
If I try the *#*#4636 etc etc command the S4 shows WCDMA preferred only. It does not allow me to change to anything else. However, if I put another ATT simcard in the S4 LTE works, anyone care to explain what is going on ? This only started when I first went to review the previously mentioned network radio mode menu command.
Thanks.
I would think you have a bad SIM card. Very strange it would work in one and not the other.

You may have to factory reset the s4
Any luck on that yet? I'm very curious what the problem is with it.

No luck, the unit would only select WCDMA preferred with my ATT sim card inside of it. I did factory reset multiple times to no avail.

Can't be anything else can it ? I agree.
When the sim was out the S4 would default to its stock radio. I believe it was something like gsm lte auto prn or something.

I had the same issue..it's your sim card....I went to my Fido store...talked nicely to the guy at the counter and he gave me a LTE sim card which he normally charges $10 for....problem solved...if your phone supports the right lte band and the network operates on the same band...it's always the sim card

bs.. i have tmobile and using it on att .. It is not alwlays the sim card. I had to change the apn settings and also go into the menu and enable lte.. it was set to wcdma as max by default.
I've got a 32gb AT&T Galaxy S 4.
I unlocked it using the free and easy method via dialer (works fine for data and calling on Rogers now).
The phone works fine when tethering on AT&T sim card.
But when the Rogers sim card is in, it doesn't allow me to tether.
Is there any way around this WITHOUT rooting?

Sorry to Necro, but on Rogers ... if you have 1GB of data or more ... you automatically get tethering.
man I'm having the same annoying issue. AT&T s4 unlocked by code and I'm using it with Rogers right now. Not only I can't get the tethering to work I also don't get any OTA updates.
I have a verizon note 3. I am on tmobile now. Using a jelly bean rom, I have everything working except for wi fi calling? Anyone know how to get it? or how to load a tmobile rom on the verizon note 3?
I tried loading a tmobile rom but the wifi would not connect?
Thanks,

My first question to you would be do you have the correct APN configured for T-Mobile?

Wifi calling won't work for you even with a tmobile rom. Reason. It's tied into the tmobile service. However I've flashed a rom from every carrier and can confirm all but wifi calling works on non tmobile roms. Flash rom> flash wifi bluetooth data fix (find it on tmobile forum under international rom port) > flash kernel> flash csc files for your carrier (opitonal)

Out of curiosity, have those who have used T-Mobile SIM been able to get MMS? I found all the APN settings online in multiple places. Even used the APN from my TMO Moto X and can't get MMS to work. Always gets stuck in "downloading".
I haven't tried it on a bone stock TW ROM yet. Maybe issues with messaging apps on other ROMs??
Everything else works flawlessly. Even better speeds and signal strength than VZW in my area.
Won't see sim card.
I have a Verizon note 3 and it won't see my T-Mobile sim card. No matter what the sim won't register and I get a X over the signal bars. I already tried a Verizon sim and it works perfectly so I know it's not a hardware issue. Any solutions or ideas?
do a hard reset and then after that make sure your SIM card is the correct one its clean the contacts are in the correct position and then finally it should load up
if I may ask did you activate the phone when you first turn it on if not you're able to bypass the activation while using a Verizon dummy SIM card or no sim
once you load up your tmobile sim card in the top left notification area you should see where it says unknown sender is inserted
once you see this message you should be able to call anyone you'd like

Hey Kevin,
How about we trade phones an call it a day lol, i'm looking for a Verizon Note 3 since my company phone is Verizon (iphone5) - anyways my personal phone is a Note 3 for T-Mobile and was unlocked by receiving the password from T-Mobile (sim unlock) but still can't use it on Verizon. Msg me if interested please.
Thanks,
Daniel
So verizon note 3, can i use it internationally?
with the note 2 i rooted, flashed beans rom, then used hiAPN when I went overseas.
Note 3, much more difficult now?
Thanks~
You also have to change the Internet provider setting under network and select tmobile. There's a video about it on YouTube.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
Like the topic says, I installed the following:
[AOSPA 4.4.2 KVT49L] PARANOIDANDROID 4.0+ G2 [beta6]
And latest Gapps.
Phone works fine, but with my T Mo sim installed the best I can get is HSPA+. I am in an LTE area btw, my T Mob HTC One gets the signal just fine.
One other abnormality, the baseband version in the settings shows: "unknown" but the phone does still work
Lte bands arent the same for vz and tmo

Thats not what I've read on multiple occasions. The device does have 3 (i think) LTE bands (2 of which T mobile uses). Now I might just not be in an area where those bands the device already has are used, this I don't know.
Best I have been able to get is H+
As far as i know, tmobile only uses one band for LTE which is one of the 2 bands that att use... but verizon is on a totally different one...

Right, however regardless of if I'm in an LTE area at my house or not, the phone should still show info for things like: Phone number (currently unknown).
This is the video that explains the process of turning a Vz G2 into a T_Mo LTE capable phone:

I recently reset my phone. I flashed a newer version of MM . I was dealing with a lot of phone lag, and Google play movies not working for me. Well I picked a UK version off Sammobile. The phone seems much better, of course it's a fresh flash. My question is with LTE. I had the option in network mode for LTE, and when viewing sim status on the previous version it said I was connected to an LTE network, now it says 4g? Thoughts?

That I understand. The problem if there is one, under sim status the previous factory rom had me on LTE under cellular network type, with the new factory image it says 4g. I'm attaching an image of the old factory rom., which I cant seem to find on sammobile.
