Getting Bell Mobile TV working on the E970 - LG Optimus G (International)

Hi all,
I'm using my E970 on Bell right now. Mobile TV didn't work, so I had to edit my
Code:
build.prop
file in
Code:
/system
. I replaced every
Code:
geeb_att_us
with
Code:
geeb_bell_ca
and Mobile TV worked! Just thought I'd post about my experience, in case there's another E970 user on Bell

I tried this with the Rogers version and it didn't work. Did u change anything else? I found 3 lines in total.

I also changed the ro.product.model to LG-E973

Wonder if this is related to my lack of mobile data. I just got a UNLOCKED E970 and popped my bell lte sim in it. voice works fine, Data however is non existant.
Any one run into this issue?

LG P930 can't connect to cellular UTMS network

Hi everyone,
So I installed CM10 on my P930. Since then, I couldn't connect to my carrier's cellular network. I can't make calls, receive text messages, or access mobile data. Can anyone give me some advice in terms of what to do?
Thanks.

Hi Rani,
No luck. I flashed every single baseband there was in this thread by drumist (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842763), but none worked.
well try unbrick and don't flash official ics
I tried the unbrick, no luck either.
I just noticed that the lock screen says no SIM card, when I actually do have a SIM card installed.

No, the original carrier is Bell. I unlocked it and I'm using it on Rogers now. I tried another Rogers SIM, but still don't work.
You probably need to put in your APN settings.
does anyone have the Bell stock gingerbread ROM i could restore? Want to send it to LG for warranty repair. I looked at the SIM slot and it looks like its missing a gold contact (top right).

Using AT&T sim on blacklisted T-mobile GS III

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

If you are on stock, why dont you just dial *#197328640# to go to phone control menu, then network lock and turn off the network lock. If you do a google search for unlock galaxy s3 xda forum u ll see it.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer
Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

[Q] Your SIM card does not allow connection to this network

I have searched XDA forums and there are HUNDREDS of similar posts, still 0 resolves.
I have bought Optimus G and went to my mobile carrier to receive my new MicroSIM. I put it in my device and I had connection for 20 minutes, and I got a red X on my upper right signal indicator. When I try Automatic registration in Settings > Mobile carriers, it searches and says Your SIM card does not allow connection to this network. My PIN code is correctly working and my phone indicates a SIM is inserted, still no connection.
On my lock screen I get - "No service" message next to a SIM icon. Any help appreciated ))

I was running savyrom for a couple of weeks without problems, but this week I've got this no service problem.
Avert reflash savyrom v2 (wipe cache and dalvik only), I had a subsystem crash and afterwards kernel crash, even after restore a CWM backup of stock ROM.
First I thought that it was normal because I was in a place with weak signal, but I was not able to connect to the network anymore.
At the moment the phone don't charge because I'm having several kernel crash's.

[Q] Flasing T-Mobile roms on AT&T GS3, getprop error

I have a Galaxy S III from AT&T. I got it unlocked and activated on T-Mobile last month.
Now, I went a month on AT&T roms, but recently I flashed SlimBean, which is dual carrier. My phone immediately connected to LTE! Never had I seen LTE on TM's network on this phone before, so I take that to mean I need to run T-Mobile ROMs to get LTE service.
So just now I tried to flash BeanStalk for d2tmo, but it won't let me install it because, of course, it's not made for this phone. From what I have read, though, it should work fine on my phone. How do I override this failsafe so I can run T-Mobile roms on my AT&T gs3?
"You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR
Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!
Open the zip file, do not extract, go to:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux
2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well
Do not go past the first semiclon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon."
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You'll want to delete the highlighted text in the updater-script, then save it. You shouldn't run into anymore problems or errors when flashing the ROM.

Well I had LTE / GSM / WCDMA selected in the settings on CyanogenMod for the I747 and it wasn't connecting to LTE. Only HSPA+. So either it's the ROM, or T-Mobile launched their LTE network here at the same time I flashed SlimBean.
I'm running stock i747 and I get Lte all over Chicagoland. I'm rooted now, but I got it before I rooted too. I'm using the stock 4.1.1 that came with the phone, picked it up for $180 a few days ago...Wow this thing is awesome.
Thinking about going with Dandroid tomorrow...still deciding att or T-Mobile version.

Please do let me know! When I was running the AT&T roms, I had "Simple Mobile", "StraightTalk", and "T-Mobile". I tested and all of them worked, but just connected to HSPA+.
Now that I've installed a T-Mobile rom I am also getting "Solavei" and "T-Mobile LTE." When I select T-Mobile LTE, my phone connects to the LTE network. When I have the regular T-Mobile option selected it doesn't connect to data at all.
EDIT: I am testing again, and I actually can connect to HSPA+ on the regular T-Mobile APN. Let me walk around and see if I can make it connect to LTE. Then I'm going to flash an AT&T rom and try to get it to connect to the LTE network by manually adding the APN. I'll let you know how it goes.
Can the APNs determine what type of network you connect to?
I'm just curious what APN settings you're using to connect to LTE on the AT&T rom.
Okay, here's another update as the result of some testing with my T-Mobile rom:
When I switch to the "T-Mobile US" (no LTE) APN, I noticed that my data cut in and out sort of randomly. I speculate that the reason for this is because it was trying to connect to the LTE network but couldn't get data on it because my APN was set incorrectly. This is what confused be before. I switched the data mode to GSM / WCDMA preferred and it immediately connected to data, and was consistent.
So I think if I just add the T-Mobile US LTE APN to an AT&T rom, it should connect to LTE properly?
A long time ago when I was just on the T-Mobile US APN on an AT&T rom, it was doing the same thing with being inconsistent with the data connection until I disabled LTE so it stopped trying to connect. I'll take the fact that it tried to connect but couldn't as enough evidence that it knows how, it just needs the APN.
Yay figuring things out! Sorry if my words are confusing or I maybe I should have made a new thread for this. I'm new here, and I'm not sure how this kind of things work.
Thanks for the help in figuring that out!
Sorry about the sidetrack, I'll work on getting 4.3 next, and let you know how that goes.
Here's what I've got

Try just downloading build.prop editor from the play store and change ro.build.target_operator to OPEN. Restart and see if it picks up data (You will probably have to add your APN using Tweakker app). If it does you're in luck and just change it to "spr" to prevent systemui crashes. This works in Canada.
If not, you have to follow one of these threads...

I've had it crash a bunch of times, but eventually they stopped and then I could go into the editor, just need to be patient.
Here's a guide for doing it on PC if you really need to:

Ok, i know you mean well, but you two need to just stop.
Virgin Mobile USA is a CDMA carrier (owned by Sprint actually), not GSM, and as such any phone you want to use on their network has to have the ESN in their database. So unless you're attempting to dabble into ESN flashing and such, all these build.prop attempts aren't going anywhere. The G2's ESN either needs to be in Virgin Mobile USA's ESN database (which it is not, it's not a phone they carry) or you're going to have to look into flashing it over (not a likely possibility).

Virgin in USA is CDMA? Thanks for the info! Yeah this is a waste of time then.
Dobby0 were you able to get into the build.prop editor again? You might as well change it back to SPR. Sorry, didn't realize you were working with a CDMA network. This works in Canada but will not work for you.
