Hi.
I have a big problem with my G2, and have tried many things.
It all started 2 weeks ago. I lost connection to my network.
I tried many things, and ended up giving it to a repair shop, in China, as I was there shortly. They put a new firmware into the phone, and a chinese SIM card worked.
I found an english version of the firmware, and asked them to update with that version, No problem. Everything worked well...but when I arrived back to Denmark, same problem. Not registered on the network.
Now I have tried many things, as Kies could not recognize the firmware version. I burned a 2.35 version into the phone with Odin, and Kies regocnized the version, and now updated to 4.03. Great, but ... I have the same problem. APN settings acc to my network provider. Oister 3 in Denmark.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. And I cant send it in for repair, as the flash counter says 10 times.
Is ther someone here, with a very deep knowledge in Logs etc, as I can send Logs if I am explained what to do.
The short time the phone worked, did I really love it.
And also the chinese SIM can not connect from Denmark.
I would prefer all Logs etc in private email, but if we solve it, I will poste solutions and results here.
Best of regrads

As for the counter, install and run triangleaway - it can be found in the SGSII section of XDA.
Check that the sim card works (try it on another phone) and borrow another sim card (on the same network). It is amazing how many problems like this are due to a damaged sim card or just not connecting correctly. I had a friend who took the sim card out to flash their Samsung Galaxy 3 and put in the sim card wrongly and couldn't make a call.
Can you copy your contacts to or create one in the sim card?
I doubt that it is a problem with the EFS folder, ie no IMEI number because it was fixed with a china sim, but it may be. Is the IMEI number you get from dialing *#06# 004999010640000 or different from the label under the battery? If so then you have a EFS folder problem. There is an app that may fix it - it requires root - * HERE *
Mobile network
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
A:
I can make, copy, edit etc contact directly at the simcard in the phone, and also copy, edit etc from Kies to the Sim card. And yes. It is the simcard I can do those things at. Double checked that it was somcard and not the phone memory
B:
Double checked the IMEI number again.
Label phone same as *#06#
Further information:
In the first day, I tried many many things to get the phone working.
I searched the internet a lot, and I found some kind of help. Like with IMEI check, I should type a code like *#xxxx# or *xxxx* Stupid as I was, I did not write down the code, and also did not safe the page on the internet, so I have no idea what code I wrote. I am sure it was something regarding Mobile network or CSC.
Reg Triangle away.
My phone is no longer rooted, as I try to have it in original mode, so its ready to send to repair, if needed. Triangleaway needs the phone to be routed, right ?
And will that not require an unsafe kernel ?
After resetting, then I suppose I need to install an original kernel again, and will that not make the counter go to 1 ?
Any other ideas ?
Regards
Morten
can you be little clear....
no network or no data (internet) on your current network
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
Hi,
I got the same problem but different scenario

1. my phone is unlocked(international).
2. signal show full, but no phone call
3. I don't use data, but wifi, and no problem with wifi.
Well, this : not registered on network only happen if phone idle for more than 3hrs, meaning phone just work normally if I don't let it idle for long time. This very frustrating as every morning after wake up I have to switch between airplane mode for phone working again.
Greatly appreciated for your help
Thanks in advance
P/s: currently on Slim rom(cm9). But have tried almost all custom rom found in xda, problem still exist. Even try to change CSC to my current country( Thailand) on stock DL7( included Thailand region), no luck. APN setting also change to default network provider.
Mobile network problem
Hi.
Please see my answers below
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
The phone worked before, and was not locked, but as I send a command to the phone, could I have locked it ? How can I check that ? And it does not give me any warning when I start the phone up.
When I try to make a call, it right away says: Dialling ...Call ended.
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
No mobile network. It is ONLY a problem with phone calls and reciving calls.
I have plenty of signal
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
Data is right now not working, WiFi works.
I cant get correct APN settings, as my provider sends this as system configuration to the phone, but cant recive it.
3A: My provided is named 3 Oister, and normally this provider is listed under Network operators. On this phone it is NOT listed. 3 Oister is using network of 3, and only network of 3 is listed.
If I pull down the menu from the topbar on the phone, it actually says 3 Oister, but 3 Oister is not listed under Network Operators.
On my other SG2, 3 Oister is listed in Topbar and under Network Operators.
I bought a new SG2 as well, and we are 2 persons using SG2 here.
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
How ? Can I do that without rooting and install different firmware ?
I do run ICS ver 4.03, updated by Kies.
In worst case, I will send the phone in for repair, but for sure, needs the counter reset.
Regards
Morten
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .

Mobile network problem
Hi
Please find answers below:
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
As my counter says 10, you can see, I have tried this several times, and its also written in my first post.
Please send the code for check of CSC and changing CSC. As I remember it is set to be NEE.
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Chinese SIM works all over the world, as long as Roaming is allowed. And it works in the other phone. Now I have the Denmark SIM in, and same problem. Yes, I did close down the phone, changed SIM and started the phone again. Exactly SAME problem.
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .
Would be nice to have the info written here instead.

1: forget all your idea's do exact as i say
2: remove your sdcard
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]

seems as a modem issue but can be sim related.
Mobile network problem
Hi again
Followed the guide very detailed
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
Wiped all data in System and also Wiped Cache, using:
Root the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 running XXLPQ firmware and install ClockworkMod Recovery: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar
Done with Super User Granted.
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
Done
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
Flashed with Odin 1.85 in PDA: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
Done. Phone shows Factory Reset in big letters
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
Nothing restored.
Booted up, and automatic installed APK's
Same problem.
Only difference is that now the counter says 11 counts
But thanks for a detailed and well told possibility.
As I see it, the problem is connected to the standard the phone connects to the Mobile grid. As I told earlier, I made a stupid thing. I send a command with *#xxxx* in the phone, and I cant remember what code, and I did not save the page on the internet. I really think the problem is about a standard. That the phone is setup to a standard that the 3G net is not using in Denmark.
I can dump logs etc, if anyone can help. But I need to know how.
Regards
Morten
buddy your problem was.... network right? is it working now?
forget counter it will be fixed....later using triangle away with ics bootloader
---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
if your phone now works fine with calls send and recieve, manually add the apn to get 3G.
Mobile network problem
Hi
Nope. Did not solve the problem.
Just ran Triangle away, and moved the Firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5 to the SD card.
Will try now to install it by CWM
And then I give up. Will try to send it for repair ..... really a shame, as I really would have liked to solve it here
Cheers
Morten
Mobile network problem
Hi Buddy
It finds a lot of Networks, but cant connect to any of them
3 networks with 3G and 4 with 2 G
But not the Mobile network I need to connect to> Oister 3
My other SG2 finds that network without any problem
Cheers
Morten
I had the same problem too. At first I tought it was a rom issue, but it wasn't actually. I turned my phone off and removed and placed back my sim card and it worked.
Mobile network problem
Finished programming original firmware using CMW as source for Odin, after counter was reset to 0, and the pnone status is the same as before, but counter is 0.
So will try to send it in for repair.
Thanks to u all.
And SIM card has been removed several times, even tried with a different.
No luck at all
Cheers, and thanks again
Morten
Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I've been using my phone in Brazil and now i'm in the UK, it's doing exactly as you describe.
...
How would you go about checking these?

Compare the IMEI that displays when you type *#06# to the IMEI printed on the label under your battery. They should be the same.
For your own sake, do NOT post what the IMEI under the battery actually is, whether it's the same as what's displayed when you dial *#06# or not.
As for checking IMEI blocking by the carrier, that should be obvious. Call your carrier.
Ok folks. If you are like me, you searched all over the web didnt find a definitive answer on how to go about getting your HTC rezound to Pageplus.
I bought a used Rezound. It came with NO Verizon SIM card. No software updates to it. I read a lot, sounded like getting to the latest stock was a good idea as it usually fixes issues. Well, I promptly updated to the leaked global ICS rom. Go the rom from android police dated Aug 15.
So my rezound had locked stock global ICS rom, no SIM card. Here is how i flashed it to pageplus. Please follow the steps as mentioned, as i have stumbled too many times and got it working.
================================
Not a must but...
1. Dont upgrade your phone to ICS rom if you dont want to root your phone. As ICS blocks APN updates. Meaning if you need 3g on pageplus or any other carrier and you dont want to root your phone, dont upgrade. If you dont mind rooting your phone, you can just ignore this warning.
Requirements:
MIN and MDN Information:
You can get MIN and MDN by calling pageplus or follow steps below.
goto http://www.kittywireless.com/pageplus/phonestatusform.html
right at the bottom you can enter email and phone number. You will get an email with MIN and MDN information.
OS Requirement:
Windows 7 64bit or 32bit. No support for Linux, Mac or XP(??).
Software you will need:
1. HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-rezound-verizon/software-updates.
2. HTC Diag drivers. You can download from below.
3. QPST. http://conflipper.com/Software/QPST_2.7_366.rar
4. CDMA Workshop. You need the full version. Demo is not useful. There is an old 2.7 cracked version floating around in the web. That will do the job.
Steps to follow:
1. Install HTC Sync. This software will install HTC Sync and HTC Drivers. All you are looking for is HTC Drivers. So, as soon as installation is complete you can uninstall HTC Sync alone. They have seperate uninstallers.
2. Install HTC Diag drivers. Now, i hope you have access to Windows 7. These drivers didnt install in XP for me. it could work for you.
This step is crucial, without these drivers installed you wont be able to do anything.
i. Connect your phone to PC.
ii. Just leave it on charge mode. The HTC drivers you installed in previous step should recognize the phone.
iii. Goto the dialer in phone. dial ##3424. press call. This should put the phone in DM mode.
iv. Win 7 will try to find the drivers and fail. If you open the device manager (or short cut just run devmgmt.msc), you should see the
2 devices with no drivers. HTC DIAG and HTC DIAG 9K.
v. double click on HTC Diag and click upgrade drivers. You need to manually upgrade the drivers..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487 This guide does a very good job. I dont want to repeat it. You can look at it if you are stuck. Just look at the driver installation part alone.
vi. Just ignore the HTC Diag 9k for now.
3. You have done a major step already. (I got stuck on step 2 for quiet sometime.). Install cdma workshop(CDMAWS). This software will trip anti-virus software(AV). So, just turn-off AV( or add CDMAWS in your AV's exclusion list). Apparently CDMAWS does use the virus technique to work but it is not malicious.
i. connect the phone to PC and dial ##3424 for DM mode. Find out which COM port your phone is using to connect.
ii. start CDMAWS. Select the COM port you phone uses. click connect. These should be in the topline of the GUI.
iii. if you are connected. The status bar at the bottom of window should indicate it. If everything is fine, click read(it should be next to connect/disconnect button). If everything is working so far, lots of empty spaces will be populated with data.
iv. switch to the Security tab. look for a spc button. enter "000000" in the text box above it(dont include quotes). This is the password for EPST. click spc -> spc send. you should see a pop-up saying phone unlocked. (if you are using this guide for Sprint phones, you need to obtain this password). Verizon just leaves it unlocked.
v. goto 'other' tab. look for RU-IM. click on the drop-down box. Select "NV-only". This option will be present only in full version.
vi. if you have not downloaded the attachment on this post, do it now. Now focus your attention on PRL box in the same tab as in step v.
PRL stands for preferred raoming list. I have attached 2 prl files. For me the 51720-evdo.prl gave roaming sign. I used 52711.prl, it worked fine. Click on write and choose 52711.prl from you download directory. It should write, the information to your phone.
vii. next switch to NAM tab. Enter the MIN you got from the email you got from kitty wireless (link is provided above). You can also get that info from pageplus by calling. MDN is nothing but your cell number. Enter that in dir or directory text box. click write.
4. you are done with CDMAWS. you can reboot your phone. At this point, if you havent changed ESN with pageplus do so now. You can do ESN change through online chat at pageplus website. It is free.
5. If you see roaming sign on your rezound, you need to use a different PRL. Roaming is indicated by a small triangle above the signal bars. start CDMAWS and select a different PRL file to write to your phone(steps 3(i) - 3(vi)). If everything is fine, from you rezound, call *22890 to program your phone. You can also use *22801 to program. if after a short pause it says unable to program your phone. It failed to program. Make sure you followed all the steps. If after a long pause it says unable to program. you have succeeded in getting the phone registered with pageplus. Now you should have your phone working for Voice and SMS/texting.
6. Take a deep breath and pat yourself, you have achieved a major step. Now to program 3g part. As i said before, if you are having locked stock ICS rom, you wont be able to go further. ICS doesn't let changing APNs. GB is fine with changing APNs. I havent rooted my ICS. i am just happy with a working Voice and SMS for my needs. Wifi satisfies my need.
7. Fire up QPST configuration.
i. Click on "Add New Port..." Select the port your device is on. It should be same as in CDMAWS.
ii. On the next screen highlight your device.
iii. Click on "Start Clients--Service Programming"
iv. Click 'Read From phone" When the prompt pops up click "OK"
v. Now tab over to "M.IP"
vi. In the drop down below that says simple ip+Mobi change that to "Simple IP"
vii. Now double click on "Profile 2"
viii.In the "NAI" section put your phone [email protected]
ix. In the "tetheredNAI" section put your phone [email protected]
x. For the IP Address put 255 all the way across for the last two sections and leave the 0's in the first section and Click OK
xi. Now click on "PPP config"
xii. Click "Um"
xiii. In the box that says "User ID", Enter your phone [email protected]
xiv. Click in the box that says "Tethered NAI", Enter your phone [email protected]
xv. Click in the box that says "Password", Enter "vzw"
xvi. Click the "AN" tab, User ID is your phone [email protected] and Password is "vzw"
xvii. Click "write to phone"
8. Power your phone down then reboot it.
9. i. Connect to wifi
ii. Open market
iii. Search for "APN Backup and Restore" and install. If you have GB, this will work on it own. Now if you have a rooted ICS, you can use Titanium Backup pro to run this system app. ICS allows system apps to modify APNs.
iv. Open APN and click Backup APN's
v. Now put your phone in "airplane mode"
vi. Click "delete apn's"
vii. Click "restore apn"
viii. Select page plus apn from below
ix. Disable Airplane Mode
x. Reboot
And thats it your fully flashed with MMS, Talk, Text, 3G
Credit goes to lots of folks. Mainly to Nevell, techwerkz, folks at howard forums and scores of others who are not mentioned.
Hope this helps a few folks.
Great guide.
hey guys, im kinda new to this and im planning to switch from VM to PP. I am plannng to buy the HTC Rezound.

I got 3G data working on stock ICS 4.0.3.605.1
To make it work you need to write all necessary settings to the 9K port as well. The tricky part is that QPST will not work and you have to use full paid version of CDMA Workshop or DFS (free version is ok) instead.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 of javamaan's guide for port 9k and use DFS for step 7.
Go to Programming/Data. Fill all fields in PAP, PPP, HDR AN, HDR AN Long and HDR AN PPP boxes. Set HDR SCP force AT config to RevA_MFPA. Uncheck eHRPD enabled. Go to Mobile IP and set NAI to [email protected].
When writing, make sure that it actually writes the data. Enable full logging and see if green "nv item written ok" messages appear. Ignore offline-d errors.
For more detailed instructions, see this cricket flashing guide.
You also need to have any sim card inserted to enable Mobile network Off/On switch in settings and get rid of the annoying message on the lock screen.
APN settings have no effect in CDMA mode. I've never touched APN menu and data works just fine.
The only thing it might be necessary is MMS, but I've never bothered to set it up.
Hello all,
For the life of me, I can't get sms or 3g to work. I've gone over this tutorial over and backwards and even did the cricket tut.
My rezound is on GB. I downgraded it with the official, stock, OTA or what ever you want to call it GB. I'm rooted but not custom ROM. I just got rid of the bloatware.
I have PPC service. Thanks, that part was great! There is a "write" line missing in the RU IM part, but I figured it out. Voice and simple text work but no sms. I even copied my wife's apn from her cell, but still, no go.
OK, done with my rant. Just had to let it out. So my steps:
in QPST - wrote everything to 8K as stated above, to the "t"
-I did come up with an error, but checked it in DFS and everything was there.
in DFS - wrote everything to 9k as stated above, to the "t"
Found the apn file from another thread because it is missing in this one. Did a restore, and.....nothing.
Found the apn settings from another site and entered it in manually......nothing.
Copied my wife's apn settings...nothing.
Made myself a drink...at least I have a good buzz going...check my phone...nothing...DOHHH!
What do I do now???
Cheers!

As already mentioned above, forget about the APNs! They are not used for CDMA mode (except MMS). Until you have 3G data, just leave the default VZWINTERNET APN as it is.
You don't need to downgrade to GingerBread. I've done everything on ICS 4.0.3.605.1, but 4.0.3.605.2 should work as well.
Make sure you've actually written everything to both ports. Especially 9K port. Read back and check if all values are there (except passwords that can't be read). Read PRL and make sure that version is 51720.
Post your screenshots of DFS after you read the data (NAM/PRL, Data and MobileIP pages).
OK, I wrote the prl over again and opened up DFS and wrote to nam1 and nam2.
Well, I was able to get it to work. I put ics back on, updated to one of the newer prl's and put a sim chip. I'm not sure what did the trick, but my bet is on the chip. note* I used an old at&t sim chip that I had laying around. I still get the warning on the lock scene, but that doesn't bother me. Thanks again to those who made these tuts.
Cheers
Im getting close to getting my Rez up on PP,... (deleted)
EDIT: Thanks so much for this thread, Im well on my way, with a few bumps along the way while I learn the software and phone. was stuck at step 5 til I realized you did the programming and dont need the #22890. with or w/o my new sim, I can make & receive calls/texts. Im barred from the ota programming by the phone.
Now I'm figuring out qpst as to why it doesnt show profile 2, just a single profile (0). So I dont know if I should modify that profile 0... And I need to get rid of the error message re the 4g activation. So i'm a little ways from having any data functioning... going to bed, sleepy and cross-eyed...
"Activating your phone..."
In the lock screen, how do you remove the irritating "Activating your phone..." message. I have everything working except MMS, but I don't care about it, I just want the stupid notification gone.
I also have an LTE card installed. I had remotesquaD flash it for me...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487 This guide does a very good job. I dont want to repeat it. You can look at it if you are stuck. Just look at the driver installation part alone.
vi. Just ignore the HTC Diag 9k for now.
3. You have done a major step already. (I got stuck on step 2 for quiet sometime.). Install cdma workshop(CDMAWS). This software will trip anti-virus software(AV). So, just turn-off AV( or add CDMAWS in your AV's exclusion list). Apparently CDMAWS does use the virus technique to work but it is not malicious.
i. connect the phone to PC and dial ##3424 for DM mode. Find out which COM port your phone is using to connect.
ii. start CDMAWS. Select the COM port you phone uses. click connect. These should be in the topline of the GUI.
iii. if you are connected. The status bar at the bottom of window should indicate it. If everything is fine, click read(it should be next to connect/disconnect button). If everything is working so far, lots of empty spaces will be populated with data.
iv. switch to the Security tab. look for a spc button. enter "000000" in the text box above it(dont include quotes). This is the password for EPST. click spc -> spc send. you should see a pop-up saying phone unlocked. (if you are using this guide for Sprint phones, you need to obtain this password). Verizon just leaves it unlocked.
v. goto 'other' tab. look for RU-IM. click on the drop-down box. Select "NV-only". This option will be present only in full version.
vi. if you have not downloaded the attachment on this post, do it now. Now focus your attention on PRL box in the same tab as in step v.
PRL stands for preferred raoming list. I have attached 2 prl files. For me the 51720-evdo.prl gave roaming sign. I used 52711.prl, it worked fine. Click on write and choose 52711.prl from you download directory. It should write, the information to your phone.
vii. next switch to NAM tab. Enter the MIN you got from the email you got from kitty wireless (link is provided above). You can also get that info from pageplus by calling. MDN is nothing but your cell number. Enter that in dir or directory text box. click write.
4. you are done with CDMAWS. you can reboot your phone. At this point, if you havent changed ESN with pageplus do so now. You can do ESN change through online chat at pageplus website. It is free.
5. If you see roaming sign on your rezound, you need to use a different PRL. Roaming is indicated by a small triangle above the signal bars. start CDMAWS and select a different PRL file to write to your phone(steps 3(i) - 3(vi)). If everything is fine, from you rezound, call *22890 to program your phone. You can also use *22801 to program. if after a short pause it says unable to program your phone. It failed to program. Make sure you followed all the steps. If after a long pause it says unable to program. you have succeeded in getting the phone registered with pageplus. Now you should have your phone working for Voice and SMS/texting.
6. Take a deep breath and pat yourself, you have achieved a major step. Now to program 3g part. As i said before, if you are having locked stock ICS rom, you wont be able to go further. ICS doesn't let changing APNs. GB is fine with changing APNs. I havent rooted my ICS. i am just happy with a working Voice and SMS for my needs. Wifi satisfies my need.
7. Fire up QPST configuration.
i. Click on "Add New Port..." Select the port your device is on. It should be same as in CDMAWS.
ii. On the next screen highlight your device.
iii. Click on "Start Clients--Service Programming"
iv. Click 'Read From phone" When the prompt pops up click "OK"
v. Now tab over to "M.IP"
vi. In the drop down below that says simple ip+Mobi change that to "Simple IP"
vii. Now double click on "Profile 2"
viii.In the "NAI" section put your phone [email protected]
ix. In the "tetheredNAI" section put your phone [email protected]
x. For the IP Address put 255 all the way across for the last two sections and leave the 0's in the first section and Click OK
xi. Now click on "PPP config"
xii. Click "Um"
xiii. In the box that says "User ID", Enter your phone [email protected]
xiv. Click in the box that says "Tethered NAI", Enter your phone [email protected]
xv. Click in the box that says "Password", Enter "vzw"
xvi. Click the "AN" tab, User ID is your phone [email protected] and Password is "vzw"
xvii. Click "write to phone"
8. Power your phone down then reboot it.
9. i. Connect to wifi
ii. Open market
iii. Search for "APN Backup and Restore" and install. If you have GB, this will work on it own. Now if you have a rooted ICS, you can use Titanium Backup pro to run this system app. ICS allows system apps to modify APNs.
iv. Open APN and click Backup APN's
v. Now put your phone in "airplane mode"
vi. Click "delete apn's"
vii. Click "restore apn"
viii. Select page plus apn from below
ix. Disable Airplane Mode
x. Reboot
And thats it your fully flashed with MMS, Talk, Text, 3G

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and first thing I want to do is thank everyone for their time and effort of putting the useful information on this forum! Also thanks to javamaan, I have been able to activate my HTC Rezound (previously on Verizon) on PagePlus. I have the following working: Talk, TXT, MMS, and 1X data. But no matter what I do, (spent over a week on this now, no kidding) I can't get 3G working.
I have the original Verizon 4GLTE sim card installed.
I am S-OFF, rooted, running leaked android 4.0.3 (4.03.605.3). (QPST is only good for 8K port)
I use mostly CDMAWS 3.8.7 demo and DFS 4.0.0.5 to manipulate data.
I write same data values to 8K and 9K ports, to NAM1 and NAM2.
Could it have something to do with HA and AAA shared secret values? some say leave it blank, some say 'vzw' (in hex), some say need to get those off of a donor phone.....
Could it be that when writing any passwords in DFS for 9K port they don't seem to showup/stick?
Thank you!

I never could get *228xx activation to work. Just filled all data manually.
You can try to insert some other sim card, like AT&T or whatever. It just wants to have something in the slot.
@ Wileywold:
Step 5 is just if you get the triangle by the signal bars. *228 in any form will give you that error. I followed yura's directions and programmed for the mms and 3g using DFS.
@ snpiee:
On my phone HA is 300 and AAA is 2. Like you, I don't know if that has anything to do with programming or not. I've tried different prls and still can't get 3g to show up. I'm also stuck on 1x.

You definitely don't need a donor phone. As I recall, I did "vzw". Actually, all that Mobile IP NAI stuff is not used if "Simple IP only" is selected.
Also, someone suggested to do a software reset with 4G SIM inside after writing all values. Not sure if it really helps, but you can try.

Passwords don't show up when I read back after writing, so this is OK.
Check PRL version and other stuff.

Oh, I thought you finally got 3G... I will go make my DFS screenshots now, so we can compare.
I just updated my prl to 52874 hoping it would point my Rez to 3g towers. Well, I'm still on 1x.
Screenshots of 9K port. I've highlighted some important items.
I finally got it. I wrote to both 8K and 9K ports and NAM1 and NAM2. All values were the same. My prl is the most recent verizon from my area, which is 52874. Here are the screen shots.
Thanks again to yura and javamaan for their hard work!

Thanks for kindly sharing help here! I continue to tinker with this by lurking here and (after success with voice/texts/1x data) I'm now working on getting the 3g operating, and the dfs screen shots are very helpful. I want to upload a few for someone to see, and point me closer to my goal. Ive tried to imitate yours, but im running dfs 3.1.xxx and there are a few differences in the location of items, and labeled a bit different. I had to guess at one of the places to insert the dun info since it didnt show quite the same layout of lines/descriptions.For example, PAP has an extra line called data, while the PPP section has 1 less line , so I tried the dun line in that PAP section.
I'm very close to having this thing DONE and I never would have gotten here without great tutors right here!
BTW, What do you use to get the great screen shots to insert here in the forum?
Haven't seen anything like this before...
So a friend bought a s3 from some other country and the phone didn't recognize Greek sim cards... The thing is that he didn't give it to me and he first went to Samsung. They said it can't be done and when he got it back from them it was like on the photos..
I have wiped, rooted, changed stock firmware, flashed cf auto root and siyah kernel but nothing can remove that box with letters from showing all the time except when I launch any app. Even the stock apps. Any ideas how to fix?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Nothing?Noone?At least any suggestion?
Why didn't he take it back a second time before he flashed everything he could find? Maybe they would fix it in seconds? They obviously messed us
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
It's definitely diagnostic/debug information, but I'm not sure why it's persisting even through factory resets and ROM flashes. Perhaps it can be disabled through one of the hidden diagnostic or service menus (check around on Google for the relevant codes).

Thanks for the suggestion...I found some codes and went to check them all out...One had many sub menus but I still saw them all and tried but nothing worked...
I will tell him to take it back to the Samsung service but cause it's weekend I got it to try my stuff.
And if this helps anyone help me this is what else I did. I moved on to unlock this device with GalaxSimUnlock since when I inserted a sim card the device wouldn't ask for pin or get signal. So I installed this and besides it saying that my phone is unbranded and unlocked it also says top of the list:
Device Model: Not ActiveVD2
So in conclusion, this S3 has:
1) These yellow letters
2) When inserting a sim card it asks for no pin and has no signal
3) Flashing roms stock or not or kernels didn't help with the letters and GalaxsimUnlock didn't either
4) Hidden menu codes didnt help
I'm going to give up if there aren't any other ideas..

Hi ..you need to provide more info dude ...what country did the device come from ?
Check the About Phone info ...everything is OK ? ....that message displays all the time ?
It may be just a display screen of some kind of process that the GS3 has ....look in developer settings ...is there anything checked to run ?
Check EFS folder ...everything is intact ..all files & folders...nv.data.bin ?
Also check APN settings ....I live in Greece also Chania,Crete & I switch sims often ...Vodafone , Cosmote ,Fido "Canada"
Some devices you need to manually enter the proper carrier settings for the first time
What that message may be is ...a process executing ...a function is trying to connect threw the network ....so the S3 ... doesn't seem to be detecting a network at all ...so it displays that screen message ...instead of a sim unlocking screen or something similar
...leave the sim card out ...does it still have that message
If all else fails ...goto TSAR3000 website & get the original factory firmware ....PIT..Radio ..CSC...all data for the GS3
You can maybe even show them your pics ..maybe they know exactly what it the cause of that message
If you flash an other firmware ...first wipe everything in the device ...format sdcard ...fix permissions ..everything !!
I will investigate this also ...very interesting !
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------
Whoops ......if ..when...you reflash all the devices data with Odin ....make sure to check all 3 boxes
It also looks like the Bootloader is corrupted .....that would be my best guess

I have done most things that you said...After more investigation I found out that this yellow letters is called "Factory mode". I read for a solution somewhere and did that and the yellow letters have gone and the phone works great (for solution I went to efs / factoryapp / factorymode and changed the text inside to ON from OFF). BUT after that I still can't get any network although my mobile says that it's unlocked when running GalaxSim free version. So if it says that my phone is unclodked then why don't I have signal with my sim card?
Maybe try a different sim?
sent via xda app from starkissed maguro gnex paranoid beta9
From what I've researched it is either an illegal efs/blocked or carrier locked.
Sent from my Galaxy S3
Factory mode probably isnt it ....my device also says Factory Mode - On
Usually if the issue is just no signal ....its the APN Settings ....goto Mobile Networks / Access Point Names ....& if there are any settings MMS /MCC / MNC ports that have values & they are proper to the carrier ...then it should be good
But yeah after more investigation also ....all day ....it may look like a possible sim brick ......that device may have been reported stolen & the carrier hard locked it.....Or the nv.data.bin is corrupted ....maybe damaged from flashing ...
because all the device info ...that the nv.data.bin stores...it doesn't list those in that yellow message ....& its suppose too !
Like I mentioned earlier goto TSAR3000 & make sure you have all the correct device files & data
In GalaxSim Unlock.. it shows correct device model & carrier id ? .....it says unlocked for all modes & it says ...locking is consistent ?
There are many solutions ...so you need to rule out as many as possible
Something like this happened to an HTC One S... i unlocked for a friend ....unlocking was successful ..but couldn't get a signal ...I just let the device chill out 30 min or so & a signal finally transmitted.....sometimes there are authentication process's going on first time you boot a new carrier ....so you need to wait abit until all process's have completed
2 possible solutions I've found for you via Google
Wipe cache and dalvik
Take battery out for a few hours

APN settings aren't the problem. Actually apn settings are only for internet. I'm sure that the problem must have to do with the efs folder somehow. Probably something is corrupted there... But don't know how or if I can fix it. I didn't download the firmware from TSAR3000 but I downloaded the firmware form sammobile.com which I think neveris wrong... So that is also ok. GalaxSim Unlock says in all rows that it is unlocked. Also read somewhere how I can edit the nv_data.bin file to unlock the phone and also did the manual instructions but still the same.As for letting the sim card in for time, I did. I left it for hours but still it says not registered to network when I dial.
slaphead20 --> I have wiped everything many many times
Read that thread I linked you to
Did that and I did get out of factory mode which I also did when editing myself the file.The problem now is that I can't get any signal although the SiM card is recognised... Probably will have to go to Samsung.
APN settings ..is not only for internet my friend ....there should be 3 protocals
I know I am insisting ..but I know ...i have seen it with my own eyes
The device should have ...carrier APN....internet APN & tethering APN ....make sure that values are correct for carrier APN
carrier apn ...controls the transmision with the network & MMS ....MCC & MCN must have correct open ports or a signal will never transmit
These ports also control remotely locking the device sim
A mobile network code (MNC) is used in combination with a mobile country code (MCC) (also known as a "MCC / MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile phone operator/carrier using the GSM/LTE, CDMA, iDEN, TETRA and UMTS public land mobile networks and some satellite mobile networks.
If this doesn't work ...the device is blacklisted & hardlocked

Wrong APN Settings ...Damaged EFS ...Network Block...Damaged Antenna
There is nothing else inside the device that would cause no signal transmission
Do you have WiFi & Bluetooth ??
Had seen a similar problem with Note 2 and there the imei was currupted dial *#06# and see what u have on screen it could be that the imei will show something like 00460.

i tried everything to get it back by myself but nothing happen at last i went to local market and repaired the imei no with zig tag tool.
after that it showed the same yellow letter on the screen, so i thought it something wrong in the rom so i flashed official samsunf rom but nothing is happening.

Firstly, follow the steps in:
General > Sticky Roll-Up Thread > IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff
Which, as you can guess by the thread title, you should know.... There are steps to get out of factory mode and also info about the IMEI number. Serial number may be a different issue. Deal with that later
The same problem that i have now
Hi, did you solve it?
I have the same problem with my S3, Yello letters on screen.
I tried to use the secret codes in order to put off the debug diagnostic menu but without results, maybe I put mistake code in order to get it out.
But of course this is not the only problem I have. If I coud put it off, maybe I can use it as a TOMTOM Device with GPS and sometimes with WifFI Tools or put it
in my bedroom in order to look at my ipcams...
BUT FIRST I HAVE TO GET IT OUT YELLOW LETTERS ON THE BLACK SCREEN.
I discovered that my imei is
0049990164000008
This is a generic Imei, and maybe the phone will works if I SAY IF I could change Imei with my original IMEI Wrote on the package of my phone
I don't want to put a strange or a fake imei that is illegal but just MINE.
I have this that maybe help you:
PDA: I9300XXEMC2
PHONE: I9300BUEMC3
CSC: I9300VFGEMD1
So I tried to use ODIN to do a lot of things but without any results.
I read about ARIZAPatch A TURKISH developer has do this apk but I cannot use it cause I cannot root my S3, I tried to do, ok it sais REMOVED but when I install
BUSYBOX and SUPERSU... and ARIZAPATCH.... IT SAYS NO PERMISSIONS.
CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?

I recently rooted my i527 then unlocked it for use on T-Mobile, And it was working just fine, Getting Signal and EDGE, So earlier this morning I took out my sim card and rebooted the phone a few times, Changing the APN from epc.tmobile.com to fast.tmobile.com thinking that was going to get me from going from EDGE to 4G or LTE... Yeah Right! Little did I know, It requires a lot more than just changing the APN.. But thats beside the point.
Anyway, While I was taking my sim out and rebooting, After once or twice of doing this, The phone would not come up with T-Mobile signal AT ALL. After a while of just blankness it would pick up What Im guessing is WCDMA signal or something, But not T-Mobile Active signal like it was doing just fine before. So after 20 or so reboots (thinking that was the problem), And looking around, I noticed that the phone is not issuing a IMEI number. Not in settings, and not *#06# either. The IMEI number has been lost. When I go to settings to view it in About Device it just says "Unknown". I'm assuming this is my problem, Once I get the phones IMEI number back, It will pick up T-Mobile signal again.
At the beginning of this, I was simply trying to get high speed data on the device.. Now I can't even make and receive phone calls. :crying: Any help on how to recover the IMEI would be great, and highly appreciated.
Thanks

If you still have the unlock code try reseting the phone using kies... then see if your imei comes back..
Used ODIN to install correct ROM. This might help.
Get your officla ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/

SamMobile still doesn't have AT&T sgh-i527 firmware. Use kies to recover your phone or odin with the posted firmware on this forum. Kies would be the safest.

Hi XDA ,
Am new in the Forum & First of all thanks to all of you for helping the forum and people. I'm having difficulties and I cant seem to find the way to fix this(its been 2 weeks)
My problem is the following: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 details:
software version: N900PVPUBMI3
hardware version N900P.00
Status: network: Digital roaming
mobile network type CDMA-AxRTT
Android 4.4.2
KERNEL:[email protected]#1
A friend bought me this phone and called my carrier METROPCS and made them set up the phone so I could use it. they asked him for imei and sim number. He was able to use the phone and 4GLTE(he was doing this to verify it was unlocked) later on he gave me the phone and I had to do the same procedure he did but first I did a factory data reset.
After it I wasn't able to set it up again.
I've noticed that APN SETTINGS has disappeared from the menu, cant search for networks, when I load IMEI it no longer shows the imei but it shows MEID B0000000 and besides all of this I have a message that says SIM CARD INVALID.(but the sim card works perfectly on my other phone)
I will all my life appreciate if you help me with this matter please!
PS. phone is rooted as far as I know(root check on Google play store said it was)
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

You might try installing this app it find/gives all the hidden info on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 it will give you APN's MEID AND IMEI . All you have to do is download to your PC, it my download as a zip file. Just use 7zip and rename it to an apk, then copy and paste it to your internal sd card via your charging cable. Then click on apk and install. Enjoy !!!
BTW your MEID is on a label under the battery !!!

Hi Jim/XDA
I'm still not able to connect to the network. Regarding the IMEI on the back part i know its there however what im saying is that im not able to see my imei through command when i dial *#06#
i as well had this errors today when i woke up:
: LTE:ESM-x EMM-14(ive seen this error when this issue started but it dissapeared and it came back know)
data roaming: you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.
On mobile networks i remember i use to be able to select many(GSM,CDMA,etc) now in network mode i only see 2 options LTE/CDMA,CDMA. Currently LTE/CDMA is selected and if you just look at the network mode option without actually opening it it shows CDMA/LTE/EVDO.
Also when i opened the SCRTN it shows on black screen.
I tried to do some minor changes on Galaxy tools like the SIM UICC UNLOCK all mps,sales,default code on XAS. Factory & keystring ON. MSL/SPC show 222222.
After i did SIM UICC UNLOCK and restarted phone know took away all errors but i see the signal bars faded out and with a little red x on top of it. I've read the manual but im still wondering if there might still be things to set on a particular way that are not specified on it Can you please help me set this up properly?

Is this a Sprint variant? If so, you shouldn't have factory reset the phone. It looked like the phone was previously flashed to MetroPCS and by resetting the phone, it removed all the carrier data.
You will have to reflash the phone to get it working again.

Is there a tutorial i could follow here ?
I greatly appreciate your help,

Hey guys, for those who need to edit an APN (Access Point Names), there is a little secret.
Go Settings, and scroll down the list. You will find a search box. Type there Access Piont Names and here it is.
The steps above are neccesary, since APN setting is hidden.
