I Just traded a buddy a note 2 for my galaxy s3 plus 200 buck and he gave me the phone and at first i thought everything was great but he had been using the phone on att unlocked and paid to have it unlocked so when I put my sim in the phone it didnt read 3g or 4g for tmobile so I went home and rooted the phone and flashed a custom rom and still really really bad data connection .. If I drive in the middle of town my phone gets maybe 1 bar of 3g or 4g and cuts out so went to tmobile store and they called tech support and they said the phone was unlocked and there was a hardware or software problem with the phone so I have no clue were to check .. I have insurance but because the phone is so new insurance wont cover it because its a hardware or software problem so if you have any way to fix this please please please help thanks..
P.S I have tried loading custom recovery , rom and kernel and nothing still data problems . If I search for network it comes up with att and some numbers 311660 under available networks so there is no tmobile to chose from so is the phone done ??
Bump anyone ?

The guy who unlocked it in the first place probably used the same method, you could always try to redo it, other than that I would dial *#0011# while data is connected and see what band your on and what mcc mnc (or whatever it is on the 2nd line)... some people have report issues based on certain connections

Ok bought tmo gs2 2 weeks ago off cl, phone worked flawless till 5 days ago. No connection to tmo network. I wiped phone 3xs, called tmo to trouble shoot no help, they send me to tmo store to get a new sim and that doesnt work they check the imei and its clean. I take phone home root and install numerous roms in hope to get network connection but nothing. I install and run gs2 repair app phone reboots and nothing. Called tmo one last time this morning and they said i need to get an exchange but since i didnt purchase phone the og owner must contact for warranty exchange. What else can i do?!?! Help please.

Never flash a ROM not meant for your device.
The Verizon phone looks for a cdma network that T-Mobile doesn't have, they use gsm. Two different technologies

You can flash roms from other provifders if the models are identical.
AT&T and T-Mobile roms can be flash back to back just make sure your modems are correct for your provider.
U CANT DO IT.
SELL UR GS3
AND FIND A TMO MODEL ON CRAIGSLIST!!!
I know it sucks, but thats just the way it.
Okay n00bs leave..
Seriously do some research before posting. My SPRINT HTC touch pro 2 works just fine on T-Mobile. So stop giving false info.
I found this. it may enable more than just roaming on GSM. I haven't read the entire thread or tried it myself well cause I has T-Mobile.
But it appears there may be some way to get it to work.
However from what I read.. seems you would be better off selling and buying T-Mobile (or possibly at&t if your area has T-Mobile 1900MHz) off Craigslist.

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.

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.

i have a note 3 from atyt and is blacklisted i want to use it with tmobile but i wanna be sure if it will work some one have tried ?
Im a little confused and im wondering if someone can help me out or if someone is going through the same thing i am.... :crying::crying::crying:
So i just got a Galaxy Note 2 from my fathers friend at work and i am wondering is this considered when they say being a blocked IMEI cause its a little confusing...
So I have T-Mobile and i received the Note 2 it is not rooted or anything and the IMEI matches the same in the "About Device" and in the back behind the battery so anyways i go and pop my micro sim card in and notice right away it gets no service it just has a circle with a horizontal line accross like seen on the pics and the lock screen just says "Searching".. i go into mobile networks and try to manually select the T-mobile network and it just gets stuck on "Registering to T-Mobile" then i get an error in my notifications that says "No Service Selected Network (T-Mobile) not available" so right away im assuming that the IMEI must be bad so i call T-Mobile give them the IMEI and they tell me its NOT blocked so now it gets confusing.
while i was still messing with it i decided to turn ON wi-fi and all of a sudden the wi-fi calling feature turns on and viola! the circle with the horizontal line changes to empty service bars and in the notifications dropdown it now says T-Mobile so i go on and make a call IT WORKS! send a text IT WORKS receive calls and texts ALSO WORK! now isnt that wierd?
what do you guys think might be wrong with the phone is the IMEI really blocked but if it is will i be able to make calls and send and receive texts i dont understand please some one help me any advice will be appreciated.. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks (here are pics of screen shots)

Generally, when your IMEI is blocked, you'll have bars and even data. Your phone just won't work. So I doubt it's that. The fact that WiFi calling works tells me that the SIM reader works. Do you know if the phone was taken apart? Maybe the antenna is messed up. Id just try going somewhere else to use your phone and try.
Possibly root and flash different modem?

The sim card reader does work cause sometimes out of the blues the phone will register on the network and im able to use it fully as it should and then it goes back to having the little circle with a line accross it.... today it behaved preety good it gave me a good amount of time of usage but it would still randomly cut off and come back on..... as far as being opened im starting to think it maybe was opened or something cause it doesnt have the "VOID" sticker on the screw in the back like it should..... and maybe what u said about flashing a different modem how can I check what modem I have now?? Cause the phone was rooted and had a custom rom but I restored it back to stock with Odin not sure if doing that will restore the stock modem or not.

I don't think there actually is a void sticker.. When I opened mine up, I didn't find one . I could have just over looked it possibly. Just try flashing JediM14. Comes with everything you need much better than stock. I'm thinking maybe tmobile is working on your area so you have intermittent service. Could be anything. I'll try to help you look into it.

JediM14 comes with the new MD1 firmware. Everything is for Tmobile. During installation, I think aroma gives you options for modem..not completely sure . but if you have tmobile, I'd stick with tmobile modem. Does anyone else have tmobile at your house you can compare signal to?

As long as you're stock and unrooted, you might be able to get a warranty replacement. I know you're not the original owner but it really depends on the rep that you get on the phone. If you get the right rep they'll warranty it based on the fact that no matter who originally purchased the phone, there's no way it could be more than a year old. Or, if you have the premium handset protection, you should be able to get it covered under the extended warranty that it offers.

Call Tmobile and tell them your situation. They'll reset your connection to the towers and it might help. They've done that for me. Just ask for like a connection reset. Even better if you just told them what's happening.

Could be this. I bought a replacement loudspeaker that was apparently for the T889 (which it wasn't)..[Most loudspeaker modules that say they are for the T889 are missing the third contact.] It was a missing a antenna contact which totally killed my reception. Try to take it apart and look at the loudspeaker. There should be three white tab looking things on the module itself. If there's only two, then that's most likely the problem.
gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!

Yup, T-Mobile blocked it.. There's no legal way around it, maybe your gf calling T-Mobile to unblock it, but they'll probably charge her full price for the one they sent her.. You could try using a different carrier, but it could end up being blocked again.. You could also sell it to someone in another country, blacklist won't go past the US

To international what? But either way no.. Your service is denied everytime the phone tries to register to T-Mobile because the imei is what's being blocked

international radios, gonna unlock the sim. My gfs mom is probably going out of the country so if i unlocked it, she could use it outside the US right?and if she can i take it as she'd have to use a carrier other than t-mobile to do this though?
You can't use international radios.. And I don't know, but I would think so, using a local carrier should be fine

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!

There are services that will fix this for you. I payed 35$ for my blocked tmobile s4 to be repaired.
I did this with an HTC EVO 3D. It was locked for 2 years so I flashed the phone to a different carrier and it worked. You might have problems with different features but it is posibble to still use the phone. Find a cellular store that will flash it. They normally charge around 50 dollars, give or take.

This is not a CDMA phone, you can't flash it like that.. And like I said, you can unlock it and it may work with another carrier but it can end up being blocked again, I've seen it happen

This happens to me sometimes and what I do is go under mobile networks and
Go to network operators and I let it load and then it registers on the correct network.

Sounds to me like you are asking us to help you and your girlfriend commit fraud. No thanks.
