4g gone off on Virgin (EE), 2g only - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

3 weeks ago the 4g disappeared from my Redmi 3s after months of working fine on Virgin UK. I now have 2g, and the occasional call coming through. I've checked the APNs, I've done factory reset etc - nothing has worked. I've had 2 new SIMS and got the same problem. I tried a SIM from a different network today and still nothing. The phone was in the car when it suddenly went off so it hasn't been dropped or anything. What's going on??

Anyone..?

Have you tried using your SIM on another phone? Did 4g work on other phone? If it does, then maybe you should try to flash a fastboot ROM and see if it's fixed or not.

Yes the Sim worked in another phone. Are there any easy to follow guides for installing a flashboot rom? I'm not a technical whizz.

No Network after flash

Hi,
I successfully rooted my Nexus S 4G and flash it with with the gingerbread-ns4g-deck.
Everything worked fine so far. Mod looks great.
But I do not get any network service after the flash. It seems the phone is not recognizing the SIM card at all. Normally it asked for the PIN number after a reboot.
Now it doesn't. Also I have no option to choose a network manually.
I tried flashing different basebands (radios) and kernels.
Still no chance.
Thanks for your help! I live in Germany and have a Vodafone contract by the way.
All the best
GB
Nobody with an idea on this one?
Is there by chance an option where I can activate the SIM through entering my PIN number?
What should I do (install) to at least go back to the original firmware?
Thanks in advance.

This is for the Nexus S 4G... for SPRINT. You flashed a SPRINT CDMA ROM on your GSM PHONE.

No problem man. It's pretty hard to brick these phones, I've even seen someone flash a CDMA radio on a GSM but they still fixed it... not that I suggest doing that!

[Q] SIMs unreadable

Hi guys! A friend of mine got this strange and unexpected problem!
He was using the Cyanogen 7.2 stable and he screwed a little bit (don't know how really exactly) so I wiped his phone and reflashed the ROM 'cause it rocks
Before that he told me that after turned off the phone, he removed the SIM card (don't know why) and after he re-insert it and turned the phone on, the phone is no more capable to read any SIM card!
How do u suggest to proceed? I don't care what was the cause of this! I exclude a virus, at least there're free app virus-embedded in the play store!
Anyway I'd like to solve this ... what do u suggest?
Thanks in advance!
Reinstall and leave the SIM in the phone?

If you have not tried different SIM, then try to test the phone with a different SIM to see if the problem still exist. If no problem, then he needs a new SIM.

[Q] Flashed LG LS970 & LS980 3G Connection Problem

Hello. I flashed a Sprint LG G2 to PagePlus. The Flash goes well and All my items stick. But the problem is the connection is unstable. I'm noticed with both the LS970 and LS980 the same problem happens. The mobile data will first connect with 1x then to Evdo. Then the network will disconnect. I flash phones to pageplus all the time and they all have 3G - EVDO. But the unstable 3G is crazy. It will not stay connected. Why are the new LG phones like this? Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? I look forward to people's reply because I know a lot of people have run into this problem. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. Absolutely! That's my personal phone! Just make sure when you flash it, you leave the SIM card in the phone. 3g data works, mms, etc. Good luck.

The flashing method is same for all phones. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll give you a good starting place. Viper32 has a forum on here helping people with flashing. And there are plenty of forums with a ton of info. Good luck.

Any issues with losing call history at all, after flashing it to PagePlus?

No. Call history has nothing to do with flashing. The only way you can lose call history is if you factory reset the phone or you personally delete the call history yourself.

Actually its a known issue with this phone, that it looses its call history when flashed.
It has something to do with the Stock ROM release
I have the same issue.
Also I get a "MIP : 89" error sometimes.
Also, I have a system update downloaded waiting to install but not sure if it'll kill my flash so I've been scared to hit the button.

Is your phone the LS980? I had a customer who updated his LS980 this past week and I had to re-flash his phone. You'll probably have to re-flash as well.

Don't forget to factory reset and clear the caches via Recovery after you flash.

Can I flash this onto my G930A?

All Samsung's have multiple ways of backing up and restoring. All you have to do is back up using Samsung cloud and when you start your phone it will ask you if you want to restore your phone and then everything will automatically come back to your phone. Factory reset fixes boot loop and other issues

Great, I also found my signal to be better as far as staying connected is concerned. At one point my data kept going out on the atnt firmware and I had to keep restarting the phone or mess with the Wi-Fi calling. I haven't had any problems since I flashed this and plus 8 is faster than 7 so I'm excited to not have to mess with this phone anymore and just leave it up to ota updates.

Which sim card do you have and which carrier provides the phone because then you might have to flash back to 7 and use your carriers official firmware or flash your carriers official 8 firmware.

It's there but it doesn't work. It's just a toggle button that would come with most Android builds for the phones that actually have unlocked bootloader.

If there was root before (there is), then I'm pretty sure it will soon be available for Oreo too. I don't see why there wouldn't be unless those individuals who created or found the engineering kernel for MM AND N, aren't around to help out again. If not, back to 6.0 it goes.
HI, Now I'm on a custom rom with Nougat. Sim's carrier is Orange(UE). If I flash this Official Oreo version the phone will become Locked, right? Any idea how to unlock it, no charges? Thanks!
Thanks for the upload. I was trying to see if SamMobile had this up yet but they did not have it up when I checked. I have the MetroPCS variant and it did have 8.0 available on SamMobile already. I am switching from MetroPCS to T-Mobile so this will be perfect to get my phone 100% ready.

Lost LTE after PIE

Hello guys.
I have an issue since I decided to flash a pie rom, specifically simplix blue, have no idea if has something to do with that rom.
I used to have LTE as normal and everything was good. Since I flashed a PIE rom I lost LTE. I tried going back to stock and LTE is still gone. Had tried flashing some modems, did not work either. Tried several radio combinations on *#*#4636#*#* did not work.
Any suggestions? I am on Tigo Colombia as carrier and never had this issue before across several xiaomi devices that I have had

I had found a solution already. It is kinda long so tomorrow I Will post a guide. For some reason the band 4 that was the one that my carrier uses was blocked. So I had to unblock it
I have seen several people here with similar issues and not being able yo Solve it. Hopefully the tutorial that I Will make, help them as well.

Yep, I have been quite busy, as soon as I have time, I will post a tutorial. Meanwhile, take a look at this post, read first part of post 3 and then post 7.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/enabled-4g-ca-p2-t3707584
As soon as you finish adding the band, install network signal guru, provide root admin rights and then select on the 3 dots at the top right corner lock bands, select lte and pick up the band missing and reboot.
Also facing this, I'm waiting for tutorial.
