Hi Guys,
I'm from Australia and recently bought an Optus Galaxy S4 4G. Strangely, the model number is i9507. I double-checked this online and usually weird model numbers are just carrier-spin-offs. So I went ahead to root and flash just like you would with an International i9505.
So far no problems - 4.3.x PA rom works absolutely fine.
BUT:
I've tried some Kit Kat roms recently and they all flash fine but give me 'mobile network not available'. Strangely though, I can receive calls/text and talk on the phone, but when I try to dial or send text messages, I can't do it. My reception bar is completely empty as well.
WiFi is totally fine, just no data and mobile network
I've tried messing with the 'network operators' setting and if i select my carrier (I have a Vodafone sim) I'll get network reception until I turn off the screen and then my mobile network becomes unavailable again
Not sure what the problem is; modem? APN? or roms not suitable for my phone?

I've been flashing for a while now but it's usually just basic stuff so you can probably tell I'm pretty amateur lol.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks =)

Hi Rich
As your baseband is quite out of sync with the firmware you are trying to run (MH2 is from 4.2.2 ,,, right?) I would suggest you change your baseband (modem) flashing an equivalent to the ROM firmware from here.
I've got yesterday the exactly same behaviour when finally and reluctantly I've added a data plan. I was running a successful low-baseband + high-firmware because was setted to "GSM Only" (try it ... will work flawless). When I've switched to LTE got what you've described in the face too . I've promptly updated my baseband and now all is fine :angel:
EDIT: please do nothing of the above described BEFORE taking a EFS backup with every tool you can find and preserving them in several highly fortified locations and 2 or 3 K7 Tapes too . Have an ODIN flashable copy of your MH2 baseband is advisable too.
Hope I've helped and please share your experience.
Nice regards.

Hey thanks for the reply! Helps heaps =)
While I still had those roms installed I did try flash a few modems within Odin, all failed though =S
Which one should I be flashing?
I believe I tried XXUFNA1 but the flash just doesn't go through
Does it make a difference which rom I flash the new modem from? I.e. flash when the new modem now or flash the new modem on the kitkat rom?
I'm currently using Pacman 4.3.1 since it's perfectly fine. Just can't wait to get on a KitKat rom though! haha

Hi Rich
Sorry, may be my fault, but quite didn't got your
You may proceed having the below as a rule of thumb:
Your baseband (modem) version should always match your ROM (firmware) version.
Failure to flash something is never good signal. As you have an i9507 (I own the 5) is very advisable to flash a modem built for your S4 flavour.
The above rule should apply to it too so, if the only modem available for the i9507 is the MH2 your firmware have to match or these issues reported will return.
Did you tested the "GSM Only" option to corroborate (or not) my hyphothesis? With this config, you should perceive no signal drops when waked. I know it isn't a viable operational mode but ... just for fun
Nice regards and keep sharing :laugh:

Hello All,
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i337m in canada using the rogers netowork. Ive been using customs roms shortly after i got this phone. Ive used samsung rom, original, GPE but eventually settled on Cyanogenmod. I use TWRP for the i9505 which allows me to use any rom (since CM12 doesnt have a build for the i337m, and other builds wont flash in a i337m TWRP).
Anyway ive been using CM 12.1 with a i9505 build for some time, and it works great. I had to update my modem to the NI2 build to get it to work, but its been working flawless ever since.
Now to my problem, buddy has an S4, same model, same carrier. He claims he needs a new phone and i beg to differ. I rooted, installed twrp (i9505)and cm12.1 (i9505). works great, however no network connectivity. I remember i need a new modem, try the same one that works with mine....nothing... try a different one.... nothing. calls and SMS, but not data of any speed.
Reverting to kitkat roms results in it working perfectly (multiple modems). both from his original Nandroid and CM 11. All lollipop roms seems to have the same issue, no mobile data. Wifi works fine. No issues with SIM card, switched them between the two phones and confirmed its HIS phone with the issue.
Im a little puzzled, can someone recommend a modem to load? should I try to use TWRP an CM12 for the ATT variant/ different variant? I want to help him but this is making me look amateur (even if its true).
Thanks ahead of time.
Currently I am running dirty unicorn. It works fine. A few hiccups but can deal with them.
I have installed a few other rooms but basically data doesn't work.
Darklord I can make calls and receive texts but can't send texts or get mobile data. Otherwise phone seems to run fine. Is there anyway I can copy files from DU to Darklord to get texting and data working?
I'm not sure what all files would be need. I found a few in build prop with apn info.
Also dom pop runs but no calls, data, text. I know development is ended here. Apn do not stick when set manually.
Cm for some reason shows my phone as tmobile not Verizon when I try to flash verizon and fails. If I flash tmobile it runs but again no service.
I'm also on 4.3 baseband I think. I'm okay with DU but would really like to try S6/n5 ports as a daily driver.
Please any advise would be appreciated?
First off I would not recommend buying this phone, it has no features to STOCK ROM you cannot even display the battery percent or AM/PM indicator in status bar and it's already on 5.1.1 android. On top of all the downsides it comes with bloatware! I switch from a Galaxy S3 non-waterproof phone that ran official CDMA CM12.1 I'm already thinking on switching back to outdated phone.
This Virgin Mobile CDMA device allows for a successful bootloader unlock from Motorola website. Good Luck they say!?!
WARNINGS:
I uploaded to the official (osprey cm12.1) CyanogenMod ROM doing so wiped/broke the authentication to the virgin mobile network my SIM card went bad. Virgin Mobile is sending out a new account card so I can get back onto thier network and use all features again or sell phone!!
It's sad that so many people have this phone on Sprint plans and Virgin Mobile (CDMA LTE networks) and this device will probably be a phone that never gets an official CyanogenMod custom ROM for....
This phone did have a lot of awesome features using official CyanogenMod 12.1 for GSM on WiFi only, it allowed no bloatware it also allowed battery percent and and AM/PM indicators to show in status bar along with the fact when you hold the power button it let you go into airplane mode restart or power off the STOCK ROM only allows for power down no restart very cheap features poorly built STOCK ROM.
Good luck to all that buys this phone hoping a official CyanogenMod ROM will be built for CDMA version but I'm not counting my chickens before they decide to build one!
For developers: For some reason the official osprey GSM CM12.1 ROM messes up the SIM Virgin/Sprint card in this device it seems to change the PRL that currently is updated to a different number also changes my up to date mobile number in SIM status to the wrong phone number which sets my voice service out of data!
Thanks for reading device problems/reviews for 3rd generation Moto G (2015) for Virgin Mobile.
Dang dude, sorry for your frustration...
It can work though

[ROM][osprey] CyanogenMod 12.1 for Moto G (3rd Gen)
The only thing that correctly works is a CDMA rom not GSM. The reason for SIM replacement is because I had to keep going back to my old PRL and profile update on backup ROM because the osprey ROM was changing my number and PRL on device. I tried so many times it's not even cool to think about the worst part is CM12.1 for SPH-L710 was so easy to get working and even though it said Sprint in top corner everything always worked you we;re just able to flash the universal LTE Fix and the name would change to Virgin Mobile.
Trust me I think I had to advance wipe wipe wipe install instal install mount mount mount reboot optimizing atleast 50 times go back to stock ROM PRL and phone number changed to a 0000003534 number I tried rooting and so many things including the universel apn fix but the only thing that would change is service to name to Virgin Mobile but then after a single reboot it would change it to Sprint name
Ok

How do I flash the derp3 file?
I just tried with fastboot named it boot.img flashed it then installed cm12.1 osprey and gapps then mounted system then virgin mobile APN Universal fix rebooted I'm not getting options for CDMA Subscription phone number is all out of wack in IMEI
Am I suppose to flash derp3 after I install CM and Gapps plus APN fix phone says Virgin In menu LTE but no calling due to number being incorrect in IMEI.

Flash the derp3 after ROM and gapps
Then when you reboot you will find CDMA subscription option.

I got it working but it displays sprint I did cm12.1 osprey + gapps then mount system Virgin APN then power down then booted back into bootloader flashed boot.img renamed from derp3 file then restart device for first time it all looks flawless with virgin in top of corner but then I go to change CDMA out of VM reboot device it starts up with Sprint LTE icon in status everything seems to be working after a restart from changing CDMA other than it doesn't display Virgin Mobile LTE
So everything works great IMEI and my real phone number and all status work just at network it says Sprint

I'm going to stick with the CM12.1 snapshot as everything seems to run and work correctly just no mms that's all the work it needed it would be a rock solid rom if someone fix that

Thanks hoss. Did not realize I could use Textra to get MMS. Was almost gonna go back to stock for this. Your always so helpful.
Edit: Im wondering can I only send MMS via 3g and LTE. I ask because I use to be able to send via WiFi but I can't even with Textra. I don't pay for data.
Edit2: I had to enable the WiFi only option. Yayyyy, glad I have picture messaging on CM. Thanks Hoss

Textra doesn't work seems the Derp3 file is still a little off textra sends them but when standing next to the person sending to they never receive the file to get mms to send you have to push send then hit airplane mode then take out it will send automatically. Do this for every mms that your sending I have not tested with receiving this is for native app no others needed.

Go into Textra settings, then MMS, scroll to the bottom and the second option from the bottom is called "Prefer WiFi". Turn that on and you will be able to at least send MMS via Wifi.

what all did you have to do to get it working i cant get data working
PRL?
Hey guys, just installed CM14.1 on my Moto G3. I am trying to use Textnow for service, through sprint. If I use a stock Rom I can get the PRL to update, but it doesn't stick when I flash CM14.1. I've done this successfully to another phone, exact same model, but cant get mine to keep the prl info.
Just to provide confirmed information and insight, flashing a custom OS will not and cannot "break" or otherwise cause damage or corruption to the UICC (SIM). While a custom OS can certainly break data, due to APN configurations, telephony & network settings, etc., I know of no custom ROM that writes to the UICC. For this very reason, it is often required for subscribers to revert to pure stock in the event that a PRL/Data Profile Update is needed. Also known as UICC Provisioning, stock firmware's update to the PRL and Data Profile writes to the UICC and enables data and voice services.
Hey guys! I got my note 4 today. It is used.
It came at 4.4.4 android version and rooted. So i installed TWRP and flashed BLISS Rom.
But right after i dial any number, i got "call ended", i cant receive calls and sms too.
I already tried another SIM card, but the problem persist.
I also updated the bootloader and the modem to the 6.0.1 version from the ditto note 5 rom topic.
What else can I do to make it work ?
Did i got and defective phone ?
Is the SIM card you are using only works under 4G area? Or does it support 2G/GSM as well?
Try reinstalling the stock firmware and see if that helps. But don't root it this time.
Yes, it supports 4g. And i already tried the stock rom, but with no results... What can i do ? D:
APN settings correct for your carrier?
