Can I flash a rogers e971 modem on my unlocked e973? Not sure if the hardware is different (don't want a brick). I just thought signal may be better if I did this
Yup.
Hi Crixley, Everyone,
I have an E973 which was originally a Bell phone. I installed the stock 4.4.2 months ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771440) and it worked great. However, today I wanted to give the phone to my brother, so put in his Rogers SIM in the phone, it just says "Searching for Network" and never connections - it detects the network in the "Search Network" options, but says "No Service" if I select Rogers (or any of the other networks). If I put my Bell SIM in, it works immediately and if I put my Rogers SIM in a Xperia X1 or my Nexus 5 it also works right away.
Does anyone have any ideas? I factory reset and wiped the phone to try to resolve it but its made no difference. I also tried installing the E971 modem based on this thread, but also no change to the errors (though my Bell SIM still works fine after the flash).
What it says above suggests it should work - I do not need LTE, just basic phone call/texting service.
Thanks a lot,
Peter

Hi, and firstly, thanks to any and all who offer their knowledge to assist my conundrum.
I recently purchased a Bell Canada version of the SG Note 2 (i317), I am on Telus so I attempted to Unlock the phone. I looked online and found people were having success unlocking these phones for free using the *#197327640# method, (whereby you go into the service mode, turn off the PERSHO_256 and then INITIALLIZ).
I tried this method and the phone then seemed to work with my telus sim, but only for voice, not data. When I put in a Bell SIM from a friend, both voice and data worked fine - which tells me its not a hardware (radio) issue. I also tried using another friends Telus SIM and had the same results as mine - which tells me it's not a SIM error. Also, all the settings in the mobile network area appeared to be correctly set up.
So, my next step was to try and reflash the phone to the stock Bell ROM and then just buy an Unlock code. I downloaded the stock ROM (2 different ones actually) and used Odin 3.07 to reload the ROM. I've tried it several times now, with both Bell ROMs and each time it says it's been successful, but the phone remains in the same, partially unlocked state.
It seems as though by using the PERSHO_256 method I have permanently, PARTIALLY unlocked the phone. I can't seem to re-lock it by installing the stock Bell ROM, and since it's unlocked, I can't get the foreign SIM error to come up to enable me to put in my purchased unlock code.
If anyone has any insights, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

did you check and/or setup the apn? it may be just the apn is not set correctly or you have to manually input hte apn
sounds like just APN needs setting...
APN?
How would I check/setup the APN? Is this to allow me to do a full reflash to a stock ROM or to access data with the phone in it's current state?
left ownsho
So I went into ACCES POINT NAMES and checked the sp.telus.net box, no change. Did a restart. No change Any ideas?
Wooooo Hooooo!!!
So, it's working now!!! I dug a little deeper and found the correct APN settings for TELUS. NOW IT F*@^&#*&@ING WORKS!
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!!!
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?
First, im from Australia.
i bought the galaxy note 10.1 (2014) LTE second hand few months ago, didnt see any branding on box or bloatwares. its 4G version, local stock (seller said from dicksmith). i tried with voda simcard and it works, both call and data. i cant remember if i tried with other simcard at that time....
it had 4.4.2 originally, but then i flashed 5.1.1 nordic rom via odin yesterday - dirty flashed.
all good, flashed ok, connected to wifi fine and start downloading updates, etc.
the voda sim card is still working fine, i got 4G signal and able to make calls, etc.
BUT
today i tried to swap simcard with telstra, and it didnt recognised! there is no warning something like "network locked" or something like that, it didnt connected to the network, cant make call or get data.
also with tpg simcard, doesnt work either.
weird. any idea why? is it possible the flashing process has somehow locked the simcard tablet can use (in this case, voda)?
after trying with different sim card from different provider, now im 99% sure mine is LOCKED~!!!
anyone know how to unlocked?
Hey guys i'm having some problems with my lg g3 d851, since the screen of my beloved lg g2 died after 2 years and a half, my friend gave me his lg g3 to use it as a tablet since the phone doesnt recognize any signal at all, right now is running the stock rom for android marshmallow, everything works fine except for the signal that either always keeps in "no service", i already try to put another sim card on the phone and its showing the same problem, already checked the IMEI on the swappa blacklist and everything is okay, here are a few screenshots, any thoughts on how to solve this problem would be very appreciated thank you!
Have you modified the APN settings under mobile networks?

hi thanks for replying, yeah i already modified the APN settings under mobile networks with the APN of my carrier that is IUSACELL (AT&T México) and is still showing the same problem "no service" or "searching"
I had the same problem, try installing another modem, or send me an pm, I have the same mobile company (right now I'm having some problems with the at&t mexico)
I am having a similar problem with my d851 30g. It isvnot rooted and running stock android 6.0 tmobile rom. I am with movistar (mexico) it will have signal and be on the network and then eject the sim saying invalid then reset. Did factory reset. Movistar sim worked for about an hour and then same thing. Have a s from telcel switched and no problem till this Morning. Did the same thing and restarted. Recognized the sim and all fine. I am new to this and could use a little help. As it is connecting with the other sim and not my movistar sim. Possible software issue or corrupted sim?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Guys,
Quick question my SM-J327W (2017) operating on TELUS (CANADA) took a swim yesterday. Popped the battery and dropped the phone in a bag of Rice... not showing any signs of resurrection as of yet.
In the mean time I swapped my SD and SIM CARD to my mom's old SM-J327W (2017) (BELL CANADA). It operates fine with my Telus sim card I factory data resetted it and everything is "fine".
There's "One option" I don't have anymore and its WIFI CALLING. Telus supported it on the J327W but it seems BELL did not until the 2018 version. On my telus J3 I needed this option on my worksite where we have WIFI but no Signal.
I looked for the TELUS (TLS) stock firmware online and flashed it via ODIN 3.14. Everything went fine but when the phone booted, it still does not have the option and the "MY BELL" and stock Bell apps are still there. Is there some way to make this phone "TELUS", did I make a mistake in my flash, it almost looks like all it did was Factory Data Reset it.
The firmware I found doesn't specify the carrier/operator on the file names, there's no BMC or TLS so I don't know how the phone managed to get the BELL APPS back if the firmware I flashed didn't have them,
Thanks ahead for your help.
Anyone have a tip or idea?
Thanks
