I am using unlocked Telus SGH-i747m galaxy s iii on fido. The LTE symbol doesn't show up in the notification bar. It shows 4G symbol and then no symbol for a minute and then 4G again. I used the exact same phone/software/rom on Bell and LTE worked just fine before I switched to Fido.
Can I try to use the Rogers stock rom on my Telus phone? Will it brick my phone?
You can use the Rogers ROM if you want, but first just check your APN's and make sure you're using the LTE one
It should not brick your phone if the proper sequence of steps are followed.
Before flashing I would suggest checking the APN settings and also check connected state under about phone screen.

Hi I have a SGH-T989D (telus/koodo) showing Network unknown (emergency calls only).
Bought unlocked phone with 2.3.5 Gingerbreard (telus software) phone is Koodo worked on with Virgin mobile SIM. Updated using Samsung Kies to ICS 4.0.3 after that network status reads Network unknown. My SIM dosen't work, Tried Koodo SIM worked for a sec. then shows network unknown. Tried Rogers SIM asks for Network unlock code. Put in Bell SIM shows same as Virgin SIM network unknown.
I flashed the phone with ICS 4.0.4 Koodo (T989DTLLG2_T989DKDOLG2_T989DTLLG2_HOME.tar.md5) found at sammobile. Phone still reads network unknown.
I am a noob so can anyone help me to get my phone to work as a phone again.
EDIT: Thanks for all the help phone is working

your phone is still network locked, you need to unlock it.
there is an app but it requires that the phone is rooted. It's in google play for $1.99 (i think) galaxy sim unlock.
hit thanks if i helped.

Good Afternoon,
I currently have an unlock SGH-T999L with 4.1.2 and MD5 baseband. My current issue is that I get 4G once I put the ATT sim card but i dont get LTE. Does anyone have configuration modification to get LTE on a LTE Tmobile phone?
Looks like you have a T999 not T999L based on your baseband.. That device does not support lte so you will not pick up lte with it

My apologies I have the MB7 baseband which is the one for the T999L
Alright, on the apn make sure it reads fast.t-mobile.com, everything else should be fine how it is.. Should pick up lte after that
Edit: my mistake, you need the at&t lte APN make sure it is the correct one

I put the right settings and its proven that even if you put a Tmobile LTE phone on ATT network the most you will get is 4g
Any update on this? Just bought a T999L to use with my ATT Straight Talk SIM card, got it unlocked and HSDPA is working fine. Is not connecting to LTE though, unless I force it using *#*#4696#*#*. At that point, it shows LTE by the signal bar, but I have no data and it says "Emergency Calls Only". After a few seconds it goes back to H+ and everything works again.
I can't think of any technical reason why the phone won't work on AT&T's network, unless AT&T has blocked non-AT&T IMEI numbers?

Can you list your APN settings and results of a speed test? I just got this phone and I am only getting H+

wow sorry i took so long I just saw this... Its just the APN settings that the AlL things ATT says... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 like post #4 I think... APN settings make sure you flash the newest modem for your service provider (modem will not change bootloader) and flash the ATT modules also..l. and Kernel depending on what phone you have and what service your using.... I now am on an S4 I337 ATT on ATT but was running a Tmobile app the Sickness , deadly venom, dark carnage.... they all work together.... just flash rom the kernel if needed and always flash modules for your baseband so if your supposed to be on NJ4 att kk 4.4.4 flash the NJ4 modules... and so on... sorry hope this helps
I recently just got a plan on the Canadian cell service provider, WIND, on my Roger's phone. I unlocked it and make it able to use AWS bands, which is what WIND is on. The phone read WIND fine when I was getting the plan, but only a few hours later the signal died and now I'm getting "Your SIM does not allow a connection to the network".
I tried using ODIN and flashing back to stock 4.1.1, but that has not worked. I don't know what to do right now.
I also tried turning the radio on and off, and that has not worked.
I'm stumped. Can anybody help?
You have to reapply the AWS mod the moment you flash another modem.
My phone was was modded and has had SEVERAL different modems and never had to re apply the mod is a hardware firmware flash and should stick. You could try I suppose but it may b with all the ownership changes with carriers here they may have changed frequencies. Like Telus screwed 90% of Public mobile customers.
When I modded mine I went through QPST there is a thread in development.

Blacklisted maybe?
Hi guys,
I had my Note 2 on Koodo network for less than a year. Recently I unlocked it and sold it to a friend. My friend is on Videotron network and the phone shows the signal with an R like if my friend was roaming however it works properly. I also tried switching the network manually but it doesn't want to connect to Videotron. Is there something that I need to flash such as modem maybe ? It's running on Slimkat latest stable version.
Hi All,
I'm looking for help with this odd issue I can't seem to solve:
SGS-I747M, originally from Bell, unlocked and flashed with Telus stock firmware; testing with Telus SIM card. Only able to _functionally_ connect to HSPA(+) network: when trying to get LTE, the phone shows "LTE" but no internet, no SMS; I'm able to place/receive phone calls.
Tried editing the LTE-related NV items (as referenced elsewhere on this forum) -- the changes don't stick, and the values revert to the original (interestingly, they are the same as on an original Telus phone that gets LTE no problem!).
I made sure the modem is from Telus stock ROM.
This issue is obviously not a show-stopper, and the phone would be totally usable on Telus network, but I'm just curious: the hardware is the same, the software is the same... what the heck is the issue?
Could someone plz point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Alex
You have an LTE card? I have Public Mobile which is a Telus sub that runs off the Telus towers and I can get LTE on a stock i747m.

Of course. It is my primary, Telus "proper" card. I get LTE on a former Rogers unlocked I337M stock Lollipop, as well as a former Rogers unlocked I747M with stock 4.3 (not to mention the Telus I747Ms I have... I rescued all my other phones from a trash bin, restored the glass on some, swapped motherboards and screens on some).
APN settings are also correct.
thoughts?
If all of the parts are original and there is no damage, I'm at a loss as to why there is no connection on LTE.
Have you tried changing the csc to telus using the dialler menu? Maybe it needs the stock telus ROM?

CSC = TLS. So I'm at a loss as well. Hence the question to the community
