[Q] No signal after flashing Miui - LG Nitro HD

Hi Guys, I am having a weird problem that needs your help. I have been using my unlocked Nitro HD (P930) with the official stable CM9 rom. After hearing all the goods of miui, i gave it a try (with full wipe, data/factory reset, cache partition, and Dalvik Cache). After flashing it, the first thing that poped out said the network is locked and the page for sim unlock was shown. I thought the miui might re-lock my sim so I entered my unlock code. Then it said, "andorid.com has stopped". All i could do is to forget the unlock and went on to the miui home screen. After that my phone cannot pick up any signal at all. I used nano backup to restore my original CM9, everything seemed to work fine but it just couldn't pick up any signal. I went to mobile network settings to select the netwrok operators, it failed everytime. I tried entering 2945#*930# in dialer, it only said "Mobile network not available".
I tried to flash the same miui or my CM9 rom again, but my phone still couldn't pick up any signal.
Thanks if anyone can help.

Have you checked your APN settings?

you may need to reflash another baseband as CWM doesn't backup baseband so your phone failed even after restoring. I think you can find the cwm-flashable baseband on the forum.

I set and save the APN but the APNs page remains blank after I have entered things like PROXY, MCC, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I found Drumist's threat about those CWM flashable baseband. I tried the v10j and the v10f, but none of them work. Sorry for asking this dumb question but what should I do next?

Someone else commented before about their phone re-locking itself without explanation. The solution was just to unlock it again. I'm assuming you still have the unlock code?
The problem is that custom ROMs are incapable of unlocking the phone. You have to return to a stock ROM to perform the unlock, after which you can then return to a custom ROM. The stock ROM can be a CWM-flashable version for convenience.

1. 2945#30# is to bring up the sim lock page, where you can enter your unlock code. But it seems to me it doesn't work when your phone is already unlocked or you have a custom rom (just like what Drumist said)
2. I wiped it every time I flash a new rom just to make sure my phone is complete "clean", but I have no idea what it does :silly:

Seems you are having the same problem as I do. Simply flash back to stock rom and then enter the sim unlock code again, then your phone should be back to normal.

[Q] Newly unlocked s3

Hi everyone. I just want to ask a question about my s3. So here is the scenario:
I brought my s3 locked to rogers to a CP technician and asked him if he could unlock my s3, he then told me that he can unlock it even though it is in 4.3 firmware. I don't know what he did but the only thing that I know is that he upgraded my s3 to 4.4.2 and he also rooted it. When he gave it back to me, I can already use any sim card so I guess that the unlocking is successful. The problem occured when I got home, my phone says it is in emergency calls only so i tried to toggle airplane mode on/off if it would fix the problem and it fixed it, I can call my phone again but then after 30 secs of toggling airplane mode to off, it would eventually cant receive or make calls or text. But when i toggle airplane mode on/off again, it can receive or make calls and texts but after 30 secs the problem occurs again. I go back to the CP technician to ask him what's happening but when I'm in their area, the phone works like a charm. I don't even need to toggle airplane mode on/off. And it can also receive or make calls/texts in their area. But when I go back to our place the problem occurs again.
BTW, my ImEI is still the same at the back of the phone if this info is needed.
Thank you everyone and i hope my problem will be solved.

it is just after unlocking because i've never used it yet with its rogers sim card, this phone was just given to me by my aunt and I live in different country. Before unlocking it does not have this kind of problem, my aunt can use it with its original rogers sim card fine.
Btw. The baseband of my phone is I747MVLUNF2

There is updated firmware on sammobile.com for the i747m.

You can flash a stock Rogers ROM. After that, you can install Philz Touch recovery, backup your current ROM, flash another a custom ROM (I like Liquidsmooth), and try it out. If you want to go back to stock, boot into recovery, and restore your backup.

Hi sir, I found out that I'm on the latest firmware already, it's 4.4.2 already so i don't need to get it from sammobile already, will i just skip the flashing on stock rogers rom step and proceed already in installing Philz Touch recovery to install a new rom. Thank you so much sir.
Connect via wifi and install any ota updates. Then install philz and a custom rom. You may also need to install gapps if they are not included in the rom.

Uncusseful Network unlock with cm12.1 and MJB Bootloader... Is there a way?

So here's my problem. I finally got my code to unlock my network on my Canadian rogers phone but I've realized that I need stock rom to be able to unlock and I am now on Cyanogenmod 12.1 android 5.1.1 with the I747MUMUEND3 baseband and MJB bootloader (I believe). I remember flashing a new baseband/modem to be able to get the CM 12.1 nightlies.
But now I'm stuck in France with a SIM card that doesn't work and I don't think I can downgrade from what I'm seeing in the forums. Once your beyong 4.3 there seem no downgrading/stock possibilities...
Am I stuck with a Galaxy S3 wifi tablet?!
You can flash the latest 4.4.2 stock ROM from sammobile.com, perform a factory wipe, boot phone with non-Rogers sim, enter the sim unlock code.

I feel like that might not be it... And I'm scared to brick my phone!
The Rogers s3 is the Sgh-i747m.
And this gets it down to just the i747M releases by Rogers.

So, I was given a i747 A T & T model for my daughter. I was able to get TWRP flashed and made a back up of the stock ROM. I then proceeded to flash CM12.1. Now, my question is this; I got the unlock code from the original owner and was trying to use it but it kept coming back as an incorrect code. I found this thread and realized I need the stock ROM. So if I restore the stock ROM back up, will that be enough to let the unlock code work? Unfortunately, I've already used 4 of the 5 tries, and don't want to waste the last one. Thanks for any information.
You should be fine to enter the code if you are able to restore the TWRP backup of the stock ROM.

It worked great! I restored the original stock ROM backup I'd made in TWRP and then performed the unlock and it worked. I'm glad too, since it was the 5th try out of 5 tries. I'm now restoring the backup of the CM12.1 that I'd made for her last night and she's got an active phone. Thanks a lot for the confirmation.
No problem. Congratulations?

Network Unlock on a D852

Hey there,
I am having some issues with unlocking my D852. The phone is locked to Rogers, and I'm trying to get it over to Telus. I'm in the stock ROM, with the Telus Sim card in it, everything appears to go smoothly after I enter the unlock code. To verify I go into 2945#*852# and check all the menus, the phone is not personalized, and I'm successfully connected to the Telus network. Afterwards I try to restore from a backup, CloudySix, the phone boots. In the status bar its saying that my SIM Card is Perso Locked, and is prompting me for a SIM Network Unlock PIN. I tried entering a few codes, NCK and SIMCK without any luck. I dont want to enter any more codes in case I lock myself out completely.
I have unlocked before, its been a few years, but I have never run into this. Shouldn't the phone be unlocked permanently, no matter what ROM you flash. Maybe I have to flash a new ROM from scratch? I tried restoring CandySIX CM13 edition and the new AOSP based so far.
***EDIT: I forgot to mention, I reverted back to stock, and I get a prompt for the unlock code again.
I just got a Galaxy S6 from Telus and I'm really not happy with it, it feels like a downgrade to me. Hoping you guys can help me out
When you restore your backup are you restoring the EFS partition as well? I think that is where the unlock is stored (at least that's how it is on some phones).

Yeah, I was doing a full restore, EFS and Modem. I tried flashing a ROM from scratch just now and that worked for me. The only problem after that was that my WIFI wasn't working afterwards. I might have to continue messing around with it, making progress though!

Got it all up and running, after an hour of troubleshooting I discovered that the WIFI wasn't working because the AP needed a reboot lol. Through all this though, I discovered the importance of the EFS partition, it stores alot more than your unlock data, its best not to touch it
How were you able to unlock the network sim.

I317m sim relocked after flashing 6.0.1

The problem was resolved after flashing stock, reunlock, then restore. I will report if problems comeback.
Hello,
My phone was unlocked (not sure how, bought it second hand years ago) and used it fine on 4.4 custom rom. Ive updated it onthursday to the revolution 6.0.1 (with 3.0.2 twrp, nano open gappsa) and used it fine without problems on thursday.
However, yesterday, it lost cell signal and would not reconnect. So i rebooted the phone and now it is asking me to put sim unlock pin. What is the best course of action to get unlocked 6.0.1? I couldn't find an unlock method for 6.0.1. Should i backup rom, go back to 4.4, unlock, then restore?
Thank you.
It's asking for the sim pin or network unlock pin?

SIM Network unlock pin. My modem/bootloader is I317MVLBMA3. Do you think i can safely load a 4.1.1 rom and unlock again?
If i install phone info+ and look under secret codes, it does list the code for unlocking, but if i click on it, it gives me a blank page titled "service mode" but doesn't do anything (none of the three methods of entering work under the app). Probably because it is not stock ROM?
I tried searching for stock I317MVLALJ2 ROM to downgrade easily, but it seems like the link is down. I guess ill have to use ODIN.
EDIT:
Can I use TWRP to flash http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317M/I317MVLALJ2_I317MOYAALJ2_RWC.zip stock ROM? Or do I have to use ODIN? I am assuming I can as it is a zip rather than img, and as long as I flash recovery right after flashing rom, I shouldn't lose recovery either?
Thank you.
The easiest way would be to flash a stock 4.1.1 rom in Odin. I am fairly certain you can downgrade as I think I downgraded from 4.3 or 4.4.2 on a Koodo note 2 so I could use it on Rogers. If it's not possible to downgrade, Odin will stop.

Thank you for the reply. I am currently on 6.0.1, but since modem is 4.4.2 ish, i hope that's okay. I will try ODIN. The zip i mentioned above is not a TWRP flashable zip, so I guess I have to use ODIN. The thing that worries me, though, is the fact that I cannot get to the recovery mode from off. I press and hold the volume up-power- home combo, but it keeps on resetting without entering TWRP. The only way for me to enter recovery right now is using a custom rom restart menu. If I go to stock ROM, I won't be able to access the recovery .
EDIT: If I let go of the power button at a certain time while booting, it seems to go into recovery just fine.. The problem is, that timing is tricky.
For flashing a stock rom, you need download mode so don't worry about getting into recovery.
To enter stock recovery, power off and try holding power, volume up, and home. Once the phone boots, let go of power but keep holding home and volume up until you see the dead android, then let go of all buttons.

Success. Thank you very much. So I've done the factory reset and successfully rebooted the phone. Then applied the unlock method, which seemed to have worked. Does not ask for SIM unlock pin. However, it does not seem to actually lock cellular signal. It still says 'Emergency Calls Only'. I am on Mobilicity, which used to be AWS, but now I believe is under Rogers. I know mobilicity used to take a while to connect, but I doubt that is the same now. This may be due to the old modem, so I will try updating the modem back to the 4.4 one... wish me luck
EDIT:
Without the modem update, it just connected to mobilicity !
Now the issue is, whether this phone will re-lock again once I flash 6.0.1...
Thank you very much audit13 for your live help!!
I will post back in a week or so (hopefully I remember...) whether this unlock sticks.
The 317m does not natively support was frequencies. You'll have to software enable was support.
You mean it doesn't ask for network unlock pin?

Yup. It unlocked for sure. But that is no different than what I had before updating to 6.0.1. I've used the phone without problems on Mobilicity for 2-3 years.
Mobilicity is no longer AWS, so it has no problems connecting to the network. It just takes a while, especially with the 4.1.1 modem...
Now I'm just restoring the TWRP backup that I have made on 6.0.1 to see if the unlock sticks.
The unlock stayed for my phone when I installed a custom rom.

Yes, that was the case yesterday as well. It stuck for a day, but after the cell lost the signal once (zero bars, emergency calls only), the phone got re-locked.
Now that I have restored the 6.0.1 backup, the phone is back up and running with it unlocked. Now ill will see how long this lasts.
Thank you very much for your continued support
I am having this issue now.. but the strange thing is that I've flashed to the Resurrection 6.0 rom a while back and it was working fine. Until a while ago I was pokemon hunting and all of a sudden my network died and its been asking me for a sim network pin... I was getting the intermittent network disconnect when I was on the Pokemon go app too long but it would reconnect back to the network after a short time.. not sure if it has something to do with the game app. Well, now I've downloaded the latest Resurrection rom and flashed it again doing a factory wipe but still nothing. I'm going to try and flash the modem and see if that helps.
EDIT: forgot to mention I'm on Koodo network which is also Telus, I believe. But now it wants to automatically connect to the rogers network hence I'm assuming its asking for the PIN.
(edited for grammar)
This is really strange that this happens. I've unlocked a few note 2 phones and none of them have relocked.
Did you change the csc in the phone settings to Koodo?

What's the csc you mentioned?
Csc is a carrier customization file. If you change the csc, which can be done using a stock rom, you can choose the carrier for whom the rom phone was intended. I choose Telus as a carrier because they have very little bloatware.
