I am running an old CM 10.2.1 rom and need to update my phone's PRL. I may plan a trip to Canada and need to make sure my phone will work. Though my ROM is old, what is the procedure for updating PRL?
Make a backup of your custom ROM then flash a TW based ROM. Update your prl then restore your CM ROM.

Once abroad , what mode do I need to put my phone in for international service? Do I use the "system select mode" under mobile networks, change to auto International roaming?

Update,
Was in Canada over the weekend and found out this ROM doesn't work at all for international roaming. Signal on the phone was very poor and the phone couldn't access the web. I did update the PRL before leaving. I had to restore my phone back to stock in order to use. Anyone have any luck using a custom that works well international roaming?

PRLs won't do anything for international roaming unless your phone supports the bands those carriers use
I have an s4 and it roamed fine on Rogers network under my stock firmware. Didn't work well with the custom rom.

Weird, if you're on stock, then update PRL, and then flash custom ROM it should carry over

Make sure you have an ATT APN and the correct network mode selected, LTE/GSM/WCDMA

Yes I have cause I had net 10 before and It worked 4g lte .I had changed because most people said that ATT is the quickest network and probably is but you have to use their own machines.they said,... I flashed original stock tar to start it fresh to see if there was some trouble when I flashe custom roms I will use triangle apk app to reset counter to 0 and start it over once I root again my machine. I will keep in contact thanks!!

Hi everybody
Yesterday installed a new version of http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/movin-please-posts-t2864506
I do all the movements and a correct installation; but when I try to make a call a message saying "No registered" or like "no service" appears. This happens in all the iB4STiD new version of roms in every Kernels.
The carrier is "CLARO" and the kind of band is UMTS or HSPA+
Please help!

Did you configure the APN settings for your carrier? If not, you can find the menu in...
Settings > Wireless and Networks > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
I am on ATT, so I cannot verify if these work, but I did find these...

Thanks for reply! The problem isn't in the apn or internet conection... Is in all the carrier registration, that means can't call or send sms.
Sometimes the 4G symbol appears and I can navigate in internet but don't allow me to call.

APN settings is all I had. I have an ATT on ATT network, so I do not have too much experience configuring the phone on other carriers.
In the OP, you mentioned "This happens in all the iB4STiD new version of roms in every Kernels." Did it work on his older ROMs or another dev's ROM? If so, I'd suggest flashing one of those to see if it is still working.

PM him with ALL your details--
Did you wipe (not format) System/Data/Caches? I do it 3X
If you don't have lte, did you change your preferred data choice to hspa+/3g or whatever choice has no lte in it.

Yes, yes and yes. I do all, but nothing change. I installed a old version of GE (37, 38, 38.1) doesn't work.
Now I'm trying with GE 30. First I trying SHOstock and seems work.
I got more information for you!
The problem started when I installed a KK 4.4.4 Rom, before this never happened anything and always a custom rom allowed me to call.
PD: ONLY with the stock rom (I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT) and a based 4.4.4 custom rom is installed it can use the phone for call. Not just the internet!
Anybody knows something about that???

No, it'll just flash the modern. Nothing else will change. I'm not sure if it will help you though. It could, modems sometimes work better and other times not. It depends on where you are and what works better in that location. You can always flash back to the mdl modem, i.e. baseband

Hi all,
I have a freedompop ( they use sprints network) Note 3 N900P. Since the phone uses the sprints network indirectly, I am not sure which roms I will be able to install. Also the phone comes with lollipop; can i use the cf-root app? It says that it only supports the 4.4 bootloader, but the phone is running 5.0.(not sure if the bootloader was updated).
I would like your advice.
Thanks in advance
The Faqs show that phone as a Sprint model so i would expect the Sprint forum to have the answers .

No one replied; I can confirm that it already has twrp installed. The only thing I am curious about is if the roms in the general note 3 threads will be compatible.
USUALLY any non-exynos rom will work. I'm on ringplus. I just add my APN and done. Tried using Music of life LP rom, though that one is tricky to add apn because it's greyed out with the SPR csc. Use the XAS csc to get apn to work. I'm now using darkera13's s7 edge port which gave me no problems editing my APN. I'm assuming the s7 edge port in this forum might have a similar experience.
Oh and the sprint section was no help for me. I had to figure it out on my own.

oh right you're not in the US. If the bands aren't supported then you won't get the data. I don't believe a cdma phone was the right choice to use outside the US. Have better odds using a gsm phone.
So i've got a L720 that i've rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM12.1 snapshot, I flashed NAE baseband after unlocking and all is well, however I'd like to be able to use CM13, but every time that i flash either a nightly, or JDCTeam's optimized CM13 (which is what i'd prefer to use if a solution is available), It forces LTE/CDMA (auto) in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, if i pick GSM/WCDMA and reboot it just goes back to LTE/CDMA (auto) and i have no idea how to make it work, if there is even a way, does the GSM unlock not stick on 6.0.1 ROMs?
Thanks for any help you can give me :/

Looks like we may be stuck on CM12 or LP based custom ROMs my friend
To be perfectly honest, you're not missing out on anything, having run the same ROM of LP and of MM, there is no real difference in regards to performance and battery life.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
This is really sad... I've spent 3 days flashing various modems and can't find nothing. Though, I'd point out my LP kinda behaves same as my M, when it's done loading apps after flashing, it ask to insert simcard (same like my M), but then I go change the network type to 3g and network returns on the phone. Tried with cm13 but nothing, does anyone know what could be wrong??

Every Rom I tried on my GALAXY S4, lately my calling hasn't worked at all on any of the Roms, I would open the phone app trying to call Voicemail and nothing happens, it doesn't ring or nothing just a long pause and a single beep?. I tried finding ways online how to fix it but so far no luck :-/, has anyone found a solution to fix it? Because Im actually so lost on what to do about it right now.

Yeah like my texting and data works fine it's just the calling that doesn't work, and I'm just like lost now and ran out of ideas, like when I go in the settings and go under phone info and it shows I'm connected to mobile network and IMEI info is still the same from stock ROM.
I'm stumped. The sim is working since text and data work.
Is the phone being used with the carrier that issued the phone or was the phone purchased outright and unlocked?

It was originally by telus Canada variant, but recently in Canada they made it free to get your phone unlocked under certain conditions, so I called telus and they unlocked it for me to be world wide, because my phone is actually so simaler to the US and European variant, on how they are built so I Flashed TWRP GT-i9505 on it and now so now I'm running XOSP-UNOFFICAL-20180114-JFLTEXX and everything works except calling, right now that's how I'm responding to this thread is by mobile data.
Yes, the sgh-337m (Canadian variant) and GT-i9505 are very similar but the radio bands supported by each model is different. Maybe certain radio bands need to be unlocked or enabled for voice?
You could try this website to check compatibility with a stock i337m ROM: https://willmyphonework.net/
Edit: I just noticed you are in Vancouver. Which carrier is being used with the phone?

I am using Freedom mobile is my current service provider, not the biggest company but they are growing. OK I'll look at that link
Did you modify the radio bands to enable AWS for Freedom? I know they are expanding their LTE network to bring LTE to phones that previously worked on 3g only like the iPhone 6s a1688.
Modify Bands? May you describe what that is and how? Because I didn't modify anything all I did one day was Flashed stock ROM via Odin from SamMobile and ever since them my IMEI hanged or anything

What how is that possible I get mobile data and texting though? Because even In Stock ROM I'm able to call as well?
So your talking about Sgh-i337m right?
Just want to confirm that calling with a stock rom on freedom doesn't work but data and text does? If yes, that is strange that calling doesn't work.
Does calling work with another carrier?

I just noticed now but in the screenshot of "mobile network state" that it says "disconnected" now I'm confused. About my phone is GT-I337M is the original model name.
I think it may be a kernel issue. Is the phone running the kernel included with the rom?
I never actually knew the differences were between a Rom and a kernel? For a while ithought they were the same, hold on I'll take a screenshot of it.
