I bought an AT&T S3 and factory unlocked it, it worked perfectly on T-Mobile's 3G/4G network. But then I decided to flash a custom kernel, stupid me. After rebooting, found out i was stuck on edge and IMEI number was "lost".
I flash the stock rom back on and that didn't work so I used peoplearmy's guide to inject the IMEI number back into the phone. I even tried his other method to get 3G data back, but no go.
So i have the IMEI number back on and everything but I'm still stuck on "EGDE: 2".
I've tried the WCDMA Preferred method but that didn't work. So does anybody know how to get 3G/4G back on?
Any help will be appreciated Thanks.
EDIT: Alright solved this problem. If your having the sane problem just use peoplearmy's imei tool to inject it back in. After that back it up again by putting it in diagnostic mode and using qpst. Then (here's how you get 3G/4G data back on your AT&T S3 with T-Mobile network) use peoplearmy's qnc generator tool to generate a T-Mobile back up and restore that back to your phone and BOOM! Your done! You can find peoplearmy's thread on xda. Or Google "fix/tool qnc" and it should be the first result

Hi, my note 2 T889V is on stock rom right now with TMOBILE baseband. Flashing WIND modem will result the phone in bootloop. When I insert my WIND sim card, I can see the WIND and WIND AWAY APNs but it's unable to register. However, when I insert my TMOBILE sim card, it sees ROGERS APN and can register as roaming.
Some additional details: There is a thread with the title "SGH-t889V Stuck in Bootloop with Stock ROM" Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119074 with similar problem. I have started this thread since my problem is not the bootloop if that make any sense? I did follow that thread instruction to get where I am now ie fixed bootloop and IMEI.
Phone was working fine since I got it until a recent bad flash. SIM card is working and able to register on WIND network when inserted in a TMOBILE phone.
I appreciate any help I can get, thanks.

Odin original stock and start from scratch..... or try a custom rom....or flash the Tmo radios.
resolved
Thanks but I have tried that already, in the end this is what resolved my issue:
I went across this site
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-no...te-2-sgh-i317/
It's a tutorial on how to enable aws on the AT&T note 2. It had just what i needed: a qcn file. Ive follwed the directions on the site; flashed the qcn file with the QPST software and rebooted the phone.

Hello guys I was trying to root my Lg G pro E980 for AT&T. In my haste and eagerness to attain root on my device, I failed to notice some of the warnings in the OP. This is what I used to try to obtain root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362657 As you can see, it states that it does not work on AT&T 10p. After trying (and failing). My phone would no longer detect my sim card! I tried factory resetting with no luck. I also tried taking the sim card out and restarting without the sim and then reboot with the sim. This did not work either. Searching for networks yielded a network error. If it matters, my phone is unlocked and using a T mobile sim. I was working perfectly before the failed root attempt and now I get no service connectivity at all! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I flashed the phone to an earlier stock version of the AT&T rom using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 and it still does not seem to read my T-mobile sim or an AT&T sim either! Please, any help at all is appreciated!

Have you still got an IMEI number? If you haven't that is why your phone cannot read the sim. If you don't have an IMEI, it is because your EFS has been corrupted but that shouldn't happen when rooting. If you have an EFS backup flash that, otherwise you have to take it to a service centre as there is no way to write an IMEI number onto your phone.
I just got this phone from a friend, unlocked. What are some US carriers i could use it with besides sprint that offer hspa+ or lte? And if you could also yell me what i need to do in order to get it working on that carrier. Thanks in advance
More important question, i think i out myself in a bad situation. I went to twrp and restored a backup of the stock rom and now it just says system preferred instead of finding the sim and has the roaming logo over the signal icon (which is now really weak btw). I have a sprint sim inserted and it still says no sim as opposed to before i restored when it accepted the sim. Also in settings the iccid and imsi are now unknown. Should i flash back to cm12? I just want the phone to work right again. I dont need the unlock i can use on sprint

If you restored a backup of stock over cm12, id assume there would be issues. What I would do is first "tot" back to the same stock version your stock backup is on, then root, flash recovery, then restore the backup, that will give you the best results. I would suggest doing that order now as well since you already did that restore. (Make sure you have those backup files also backed up on PC or whatnot so you can place them back to your phone after "tot"-ing)
I'll try to be brief. lol .Before finding this site I brought my unlocked S4 mini to wind to see if it will work. The guy found the 1700 freq in the phone service menu and changed something and said it won't keep on 1700 then he said something about the nv write. After a while he handed it back and said it wouldn't work. I put my bell sim in afterward it said no sim. it won't find any bell sim now. I tried a friends telus sim and it finds the sim fine and shows voicemail notifications but when I tried to call it says not connected to network. I can see the networks but when trying to connect, the signal drops and phone says "network not available try later". After it tries to connect the signal returns to normal.
So I found this site
I successfully rooted the phone with S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip. It worked fine but had the same network problem. I fully rooted with cm11, then 12. Same problem.
I loaded a pit file gotten gaciously from sammobile. Same problem
I've returned all firmware to factory and undone root but still same issue.
The imei and serial number match the sticker on the back so they are not invalid.
The wifi and bluetooth and general operations are normal.
I'm guessing that the nv was rewritten and to recovery as well? But I really don't know as I am very new at this but have been doing a lot of reading.
1. Is there a way to restore the nv without a backup from my phone?
2. Is there a way to restore the service programming back to factory default? (I've seen this question asked before but only found the answer it is proprietory, whatever that means)
I have qpst and efs professional and a qcn file I was able to download from the internet
3. This qcn file is from unreliable source. Could I damage my phone more than it already is, and can i edit my imei and sn into it?
Thanks very much.

I painstakingly manually edited using qpst and restored all changed setting to a previous copied save.
Ok So I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy s3 (SGH-T999L) (LTE Version). I previously rooted it and installed custom ROM using Cyanogenmod, then changed to TWRP later. Then, i wanted to revert to stock and unrooted my phone. I was told to install latest firmware and did so (Android 4.3 T999LUVUBOH1). Since then, i went from T-Mobile to MetroPCS. The phone is unlocked. When trying to use metropcs sim card on s3, it works for about 5 minutes (able to call & text), then all of a sudden i get NO SIGNAL and cannot do ANYTHING! I used my husband's metropcs sim card and same thing happened. Then, I tried my mom's AT&T sim card and it did seem to work fine for awhile. I tried accessing mobile networks to change APN while I had my mom's sim in there and was able to but when i insert my sim card it says: "Insert Sim to access network services" and there IS a sim in there. Our sims work fine on other phones. I don't understand what's going on. I've tried to flash a modem and even rooting it again, but Odin keeps failing or not responding. I cannot flash ANYTHING!!! Please help!
Flash back to a stock ROM and make sure everything works. Once this is done, call MetroPCS to see if they need to register the phone's imei on their system.
Thanks. It had official stock Rom already on it. I can try again if Odin decides to work for me. I have USB debugging on. I'll let you know what happens. I will also call Metro PCS. thanks again.

Omgoodness!! Thank you SO much! Calling metro pcs worked. I'm in disbelief! So simple, I didn't even think of it. I really appreciate your help!
No problem. Glad it worked. We're all here to help and learn from each other.
