Please help! Unlocked Sprint V20 mobile networks greyed out!! - LG V20 Questions & Answers

I got my V20 unlocked through a remote service. Everything was working fine for a few days and then i took a trip to the Bay area. I was getting bad service with at &t. So while chosing network type i choose wcdma and LTE. The data came fine but i tried to make a phone call and it didn't recognize my sim card. So i went to mobile network settings to change it back to GSM/cdme/LTE but it is greyed out. I tried everything but nothing's working. I even did a factory reset but nothing worked. Please help!!

Hi, are you still having the same problem? I think your phone became locked again

Phone has Randomly gone into NO SERVICE

my phone hasnt gotten any signal for the last 2 days. i dont know what happened, the phone just says NO SERVICE. I know its not my T-Mobile account since my sim card works perfectly on another phone. this phone has never been dropped, and its only about 3-4 wees old. It started when I was eating lunch in my school's cafeteria (which is underground) when i noticed i had no service and a "g" every once in a while (theres usually atleast 2 bars and always 3g since my school is downtown). i thought nothing of it since it was underground, but my signal never came back.
what should i do? i flashed the newest radio earlier and now i dont even get the "g" anymore.
it's running virtous 0.8.1 with S-OFF. i also tried my cyanogenmod backup but there was no difference.
im going to try to return everything back to stock and see if it works. did this happen to anyone else? if so how did you fix it?
does anyone have any information that could help?
Probably a long shot, but have you tried enabling and then disabling airplane mode?
Idk if this'll work, but hey its worth a try call *#*#4636#*#* and change your settings, it should restart your network. Hopefully.

Did you test the SIM in another phone? Did you try enabling 2G networks only to determine if this is related to 3G/4G? Did you call tmo to see if there are network issues in your area?
What is your city location?

i have tried those things, when i do *#*#4636#*#*, it shows that i have a signal but it doesnt show on the status bar or that im connected to tmobile. when i go to select network in settings, it says my sim card wont allow me to connect to this network, which makes no sense since its a tmobile sim card and was working fine 2 days ago.
i live in Buffalo, NY. there is no network outage here since i tried my sim in another phone and it worked fine

All bets are off until you restore the stock rom with OTA update. Post back once you've returned it to factory because tbh, nobody from T-Mobile can or will help you either if your phone is all jacked up.

This is a network issue, its not your rom, no worries. When registration fails or network not allowed happens, tmo needs to send an engineer to the local towers to fix it up or file a trouble ticket. Is it happening within your home area, such as a 7 - 10 mile radius - or wider.
Take my word for it, you need to call

I have the same problem, and I'm in the LA area. Called, T-Mo and they said there werent any outages at the time.
Tried enable/disable airplane mode. no go.
Tried enabling only 2g mode. no go.
I don't have another phone with me to try my sim card in right now, so will try that later (T-mo rep said to use the new sim card).
I'm running stock on my g2. Will update when I get it fixed.
I'm having the same issues. went back to the stock ROM. went through several different ROMs still, the same.
Someone PLEASE help.
Sim card try another, seriously, happend to me once and a friend... went back to stock and everything.
G2 doesn't like sim cards....
Same thing happened to me. Card worked in my old G1 but not my G2...it was less than 30 days so they replaced it. This is worrying me though...I hope it's not a common issue that can just happen any time.

Vzw LG G2 VS980 Global SIM Card Problem

I have a Vzw LG G2 VS980 that I currently use with Red Pocket on the Vzw network, and I previously used it on Tracfone, also on the Vzw network, and everything worked normally.
I also successfully used it with Red Pocket on the AT&T network as well as with an old Lycamobile legacy SIM, using the T-Mo network.
The problem I'm having is that I can't get cellular data to work using a Piranha Mobile or FreedomPop Global SIM card.
There are no error messages displayed, and I'm able to make voice calls with the Piranha Mobile SIM card. The FreedomPop Global SIM card doesn't come with traditional voice service, but there are bars of service showing.
The APNs are correct:
For Piranha Mobile, I'm using openroamer.com .
For FreedomPop, I'm using freedompop.foggmobile.com .
The Vzw LG G2 VS980 is rooted, but running stock 5.0.2. I rolled it back to stock 4.2.2, but cellular data still wouldn't work with the above SIMs. I also tried a custom ROM, and still nothing.
Can anybody suggest something to try to get cellular data to work with the above SIM cards? I'd greatly appreciate it!
I should also add that I DID enable global roaming in settings, and I did play with all of the System select>>Network mode settings, to no avail.
Also, even if people reading my question don't have an answer, if you could suggest some way to contact someone that could help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks again!
Isn't there any help available for my issue? Thanks.
I sure could use some help in figuring out how to fix this problem. Thanks!
Did you ever figure this out? I am experiencing the same problem

Unfortunately, no.
My LG G2 also was difficult to get activated on Vzw MVNOs. I used it on 2 Vzw MVNOs, and both times, it wouldn't activate the SIM card properly. Both MVNOs had to do quite a bit of work to get it to activate properly. There was no issue with the ESN/IEMI, it was just that the hardware wouldn't activate the SIM card properly.
Not only that, my LG G2 VS980 developed dead spots on the touch screen in March, 2017. It's still usable, but the dead spots make it difficult, so it is mostly retired now.
Oh, well...
I'd try getting into your G2's phone "diagnostic" menu (or whatever it's called), and doing a manual band set. That seemed to help me when I put in an AT&T SIM in my vs980.
It could also be that FreedomPop or whomever you're trying to use doesn't support the network bands that the vs980 uses.

Help - Note 4 - SM-910G INU working only on 2g GSM.

UPDATE - 25/10/16 - Gave phone to Samsung Service center and they have updated me today that they found the radio is corrupted possibly so they have asked Samsung to give them a confirmation to proceed with Radio firmware reloading which includes IMEI re-coding. There's a chance of even them getting the device bricked of course but lets see what happens.
Hello all,
I have SM-N910G with latest stock rom (N910GDTS1DPI1).
Was using this phone on Reliance Jio VOLTE since end July and had set network more to LTE only (sicne RJio only has 4g LTE coverage).
Last thursday morning I noticed the phone is not registered on network and on trying to troubleshoot further by switching to a different (Vodafone) SIM, realized that the phone is only able to register on GSM (2G) networks and Edge data works too.
Have tried factory reset (and reloading of stock ROM thru ODIN including NAND erase using PIT files too) to check if I can get the phone to work on 3g/4g but no use. Seems like this is hardware issue (radio gone faulty?).
The phone is 18 months old so out of standard warranty hence I'm not much hopeful that Samsung Service center will be of any help. Before I take this there, just wanted to check if anyone else faced such issue before and have managed to sort the same out.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not an apn issue. The phone doesn't simply register on any 3g or 4g networks. Hence the thought that it's hardware issue.

What do you mean by not getting Volte on any SIM? It's only for Reliance Jio. For other service providers, you need to get a 4G SIM before you can use 4G.
My phone is now dead bricked and beyond repairs as confirmed by Samsung service center. I'm not spending 15k for motherboard change.
4g
I have idea 4g sim but when I insert it
My note 4 doesn't shows it it says no sim card
Insert sim when I put Jio sim I get no service/ Jio 4g
Emergency calls only signal when I tried bsnl 3g
& Tata Docomo 3g sims both sims getting network
Signal & I can call also but when I tried to connect to internet by using these 3g sims my mobile connects and switchs off suddenly I have to pull out battery or connect to charger to start the mobile
This is my problem

That's weird indeed. Have you ever tried any custom Roms or rooting because of which your Knox status would have tripped? In any case it's worth taking the phone to nearest samsung service center. They charge just 200 bucks to inspect the issue and another 200 to reload the software if needed. But in my case it was hardware fault so they couldn't do anything.

All the best mate. Just remember that they will ask you to sign up for Dead Brick risk which means you're OK if device goes dead during software flashing. The only way to get device working again is to replace motherboard which costs around 15k.

Hey i have the same Problem. i tried, reseting, other custom roms and much more but i dont solved the Problem.

Moto XT1575 unlocked, trying to hook it up w/Sprint; HELP!

Ok just received my Moto Pure edition. Got a new Sprint Sim card. Call tech support, on their end everything is good.
I get LTE but no voice or data. I even updated the prl & device configuration.
The ohone keeps asking for an Android update, so I update it, but tells me theres is an update available still.
Is my phone bad, or its just a pain for an unlocked phone..
My phone is on 6.0, and did a factory reset, nothing..
Can someone help, mahbe it's my apn settings that is nowhere to be found..
Thanks a million

*#*#72786#*#*
try that... that will reset the network settings, reprogram it and should reactivate the calling.
usually that happens when the network sets up but isnt programed into the phone. that simcard is just for LTE purposes but sprint is CDMA which works without simcards only using EVDO and 1X

HTC Bolt Mobile Data Issue

Hi, ive been an owner of an HTC bolt for a while now. Recently my island was hit by the famous Hurricane Irma (Puerto Rico, USA Territory). And ever since my mobile data dont want to connect.
Details about the phone:
HTC Bolt (Sprint but is GSM Unlocked and have been using it with H2O Company. Uses At&t Towers.)
Phone is bootloader unlocked and rooted but stock software i believe is the march latest update (1.32.651.6)
The phone was working excellent by that day. Now i had to switch to my spare phone HTC M9 and mobile data works fine here.
Rightnow i still dont have electricity at home. But i was wondering if any of you guys have had this same issue or maybe know why this could happen.
Ive tried resetting network settings, checked the APN multiple times. And no luck. Also i have access to the DM menu where i can see all the network settings when i input the MSL code. But everything seems fine.
Maybe running an RUU on it can fix the problem...
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Willing to bet it is more of a provider issue. Give it some time for them to fix the infrastructure

Thanks for the reply!
I thought of that but in that case my M9 shouldn't be working either. And its perfectly working. Don't know maybe is the LTE band it is trying to connect is bad or something. Because on the M9(Factory Unlocked version) the data is working but not as fast as always.
Oh yeah not really sure sorry.
Sent from my 2PYB2 using Tapatalk
this thing is driving me crazy. I'm on the line to Customer Service to see if they can find the issue.
But me guessing, does the radio image installed on the phone has anything to do with that? Does that file or part of the ROM could get scrambled and cause this kind of issue??
Update:
They have reset the account, but they say is the phone thats giving me the issue, since the SIM card shows successful connection on another phone. I will try to run the RUU on this and see...
Ok so apparently the issue is on the network. I just tried my sister SIM card from T-Mobile and the phone connects perfectly to internet. So apparently the issue is maybe a technical problem on the network band the carrier is transmitting. And that band isn't available or not accepted on the Bolt cuz is a Sprint variant.
Don't know 100% sure but apparently that's the issue. I checked on the M9 what bands are the phone connecting and according to LTE Discovery App the phone is connecting to band 17 or band 4.
BTW
Is there a way to edit network bands on a phone?
