If you have read my previous posts you will know that I recently tried to update to Doom Kernel and Ice Bean. I couldn't get wifi or 3G working so I tried flashing Arc Knight and Jelly Sandwich. I got Wifi working but still no 3G.
Using flashtool I changed to stock .431 firmware but I still don't get 3G. I live in South Korea and have a South Korean model Arc (LT15i) on SK Telecom. I think they use a slightly different protocol here for cellular communication (wikipedia says UMTS/HSPA), could that be the problem? I have searched the forums and the internet and not been able to find any original Korean Firmwares.
Please help, I really don't want to be using the stock firmware because of all the crappy bloatware! (I should mention that 3G/HSPA was working on the stock gingerbread firmware I was using before.)
Info: the phone's SI number is 1247-0400
Thanks
Edit: Just had a look around on some Korean sites and it seems that the global rom is working OK for them. Could it be the internet settings are not downloading from the operator correctly?
Are your antenna at WCDMA/GSM setting??

Yes it is. I think it was something doom kernel did
OK... after much digging around and testing of my Korean skillz I fixed it! As I previously suspected the internet/data settings were wrong and the 'download internet settings' button wasn't working.
In case of anybody else with a Korean SK Telecom phone here is what I did:
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Use the menu button to bring up the option of making a new connection and use these settings:
Name: SKT
APN: web.sktelecom.com
mmsc: https://omms.nate.com:9082/oma_mms
MMS Proxy: smart.nate.com:9082
MMS Port: 9093
Authentication: none
Menu button and save. Return to the Access Point menu and select SKT.
That's it!

Did you check the APNs to make sure the internet.windmobile.ca APN is there already?
(If you haven't go to: System Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > check for Wind CA)
If you don't have Wind CA, press Menu > New APN > and in Name type Wind CA, APN: internet.windmobile.ca, MCC: 302, MNC: 490, APN type: default,supl, APN protocol: IPv4 .
Hope this works!
HOLY! Thank you so much Man you just saved me thanks a lot!!!1
Hello, there any official or custom ICS rom which contains all databases to use a LG P935 bands and also includes the Spanish language?
I have tried different custom roms but no 3G or LTE me up is only in GSM.
Check your APN first. If it doesn't say it is on your provider, Google it and add APN.
after using the stock lg firmware,i found that we must set the APN manually or limited to some telco only,try to use cyanogenmod,it include the APN for every telco.Im in malaysia so my telco is different but cyanogenmod include my country APNs
indeed, they were right, look on google the apn for my carrier and ready and can navigate in LTE, thanks!
Hello,
*
I just bought a Huawei P6 C-00 Dual Sim from China ( not possible to add a SD card but the internal memory is 16 GB).
*
After some tests , I found some issues :
*
1 / As dual sim , there are two slots :
*
- The first for a GSM SIM card : Incoming call \ outgoing OK , but can not connect to internet via GSM network ( problem described in point 2 )
- The second port is for a CDMA SIM card : my sim card does not work and no network is detected ( ? ) . After some web research, I understand that this port is designed to support only a SIM card from China Telecom ( so the port is blocked on China Telecom) .
that this port operates with GSM 2G Network while the CDMA port for 3G Network !
*
==> Question: How can I unlock this CDMA slot in order to connect my sim card and use the 3G network? Is there a way , a software, or a code for the release\ Unlock of this port?
*
2 / Let's return back to the first GSM port that seems to work fine until I start doing the manual configuration of the mobile internet via a new APN (us this mobile is new, it is not possible to configure automatically with my provider).
In fact the boxes corresponding to MCC and MNC are locked ! I can not edit this to put the country code MCC and the operator code MNC . these parameters are locked with MCC = 460 ( China) and MNC = 03 (China Telecom) !
*
==> Question: How do I unlock these boxes to put good values MCC and MNC and able to connect to internet via GSM ? Knowing that the wifi works great !
*
3 / Question: If I can root my phone , is it possible to overcome the above two problems? have the CDMA Unlocked and Port boxes MCC and MNC ?
*
Thank you for your help
CDMA and WCDMA phones use a different radio modules, a mean the different hardware. You can't just unlock it to use WCDMA network.

thanks

Yes, this is GSM/CDMA phone and it can work only with GSM and CDMA networks.
Is it too late?
First of all, I am not an android mobile technician.
I am also learning how to tweak android phones by studying from this and that forums.
In our country, Myanmar, we use mostly Huawei handsets and especially CDMA ones.
Secondly, I hope you haven't thrown away that P6 C00.
I think it might be possible to overcome some of the obstacles you are currently facing:
Q3:Unlocking China Telecom lock and MCC and MNC editing
Q1 & Q2 shall be answered once we can solve Q3.
Thirdly but most importantly, you are going to be needed to have to unlock the bootloader and root access both of which are not really difficult.
There are a lot of Myanmar/other forums giving tutorials on this and I think P6 C00 is likely to be rootable and its bootloader unlockable.
Going back to Q3nce you got root access, you just need Buildprop editor installed from Playstore.
Then run it. Create a backup first. Then Edit and scroll down until you see ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=46003 and change it to your mobile operators MCC and MNC. Save and Reboot. And go back into your APN settings. You will see that the MCC and MNC were changed and also editable.
I was frustrated for this for like a month and I just find out accidentally.
Of course, you should have a backup of your firmware, recovery and various other tools ready.
I think I should warn you that following my advice might brick your phone and if you do follow, it's at your own risk. Don't blame me.
Good luck Buddy.
If my advice were wrong somehow, I hope some other admin or technician would please kindly correct me. But I just got it working that way.
Hi all,
I just got a N900T which is sim unlocked
Device status is official
android version 4.3
baseband version is n900tuvubmi7
kernel version is 3.4.0-1670611
built number is jss15j.n900tuvubmi7
I personally have H2O service and would like to use this On H2O, what sort of steps I will have to do to upgrade this to the newer version of kitkat, root it, and possibly upgrade the modem to take advantage of ATT LTE, and a ROM which is provider neutral, deblouted, stable and fast.
Ill appreciate any help

Step 1: Chainfire Auto Root to root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
Step 2: RegionLock Away to SIM unlock it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
As for upgrading the modem, I don't think it's necessary.
This is from the thread that discusses using the T-Mobile Note 3 on AT&T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2464498
Will LTE work on AT&T?
Many people have confirmed that LTE works. There is no speed difference between an AT&T branded phone and the Note 3. Documents obtained from the FCC and also on T-Mobile's site say it supports the frequencies used by AT&T. Do NOT give AT&T your IMEI to your Tmobile Note 3. If you do, AT&T's system will remove your LTE data even though it works perfectly. Give them another AT&T Android IMEI if you have to or if you are coming from an Android phone don't even talk to them. Just remove the SIM in your old phone and put it in your new phone. If you mess up and give them the IMEI some people have gone to the store and gotten the IMEI off the demo unit then gone home and called ATT to change the IMEI. You can also get an AT&T Android LTE IMEI from a family member or friend's phone. It will not effect their service in any way. One user also reported explaining the issue to a rep that changed the default plan and manually made it a plan with LTE. I'm not sure that a lot of reps on AT&T's front line know how to do this though.
What APN settings will my Note 3 need for AT&T and MVNO's?
NAME: ATT Phone
APN: phone
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
Then go to the home screen menu setting, more networks, mobile networks, network mode and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
Although, you might want to try the settings that H2O has on their website to see which one gives you better speeds:
https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/mainControl.php?page=dataManualConfig
Step 3: Install ROM of your choice. My recommendation, Hyperdrive ROM. It gives you Aroma installer, which lets you customize basically every aspect of your install. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709867
I hope this gives you the info you need to get up and running.
Thanks a Million
Hello,
I am using LG Optimus G Kirean version for over 6 months. Phone/Battery life everything is great. Recently official kit kat update was released and now it is running KK. The only problem is that as I am using it in Pakistan I can't use Data Network or 3G. I talked to my network operator and they say phone must be converted to English rom then it will work.
The problem is that I am really a noob at this and don't want to brick my phone. So is there any easy and low risk method to convert my phone to English version without losing signals or any other problem. If possible please give a detailed step by step method as I am really new here.
Here are details:
F180-K
Android Version 4.4.2
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build Number KOT49I.F180K30c

That is answer from someone at the network operator who not know the anything about the phone or data in general.
You just need the setting for data network to make it work Data & 3G will work on the same Korean rom however no operator video call because that feature is specific to Korean operator in the Korean rom.
There are many guides available in the forum and making Backup of your phone is a good idea before doing anything
Well I have done settings multiple time and settings are 100% correct however data or 3g doesn't work. They say that this phone stores settings in Korean at the backend and network can't read it.

Thanks a lot. I was about to give up. Then I tried one more time for APN and it works now
Check for 3G bands in 3845#*180#
You should be GSM 900/1800 for Calling and
UMTS 2100 for 3G
And setting should be WCDMA preffered or GSM/WCDMA
