Hey guys. So I traded my iphone 5 for a galaxy note 2 today. My iphone 5 was att and I thought the guy's Note was too but it turned out to be T Mobile (its was already rooted too). I couldnt walk away and traded anyway. Got the phone unlocked from Cell Unlocker and I went by ATT to get a new sim since the iphone took nano sims and the Note took micro. Activated it over the phone etc. I began getting texts as soon as I reset it but no 4G/3G icon & no data.Changed APNs to the wap.cingular one & the PTA one neither worked even after several resets between each. I flashed a new rom too still no avail. Only thing I can think is ATT messed something up (calling tommoro) or I need some type of modem/radio to flash. Suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Be very careful flashing a different modem, it seems some people have problems doing that. Others say no issues. You shouldn't need a new modem though.
I bought my note 2 from T-Mobile and immediately unlocked it with cellunlocker.net, slipped my AT&T Sim card into the phone and got service. I'm back on T-Mobile now, but I think I did have to mess with the APN settings to get proper data. There are a couple of different APN settings floating around, so try a few of them before giving up. There might even be an app in the play store that lets you pick and choose. Good luck!
By the way, why couldn't you just walk away from the deal?

Alright I'll look for that app in the playstore. If nothing works then I'll give AT&T a call again. And I couldn't walk away because it is such a great device, not many people are willing to trade for an iPhone 5 and I was just thinking how long it might be till another deal like this came around. Thanks for the help

Seems to be working OK. But I have slow data issues on Prl 53000. It does show that I am on Evdo Rev A. I did just get a roaming data notice too. Something about too much roaming data. I'm on the stock LJ7 rom and rooted. Also, when I dial 611, still goes to Sprint. What am I doing wrong here? New rom?

Very nice video.
I have the same setup. With stock and rooted LJ7 ROM and Baseband. When I dial 611, I get Verizon. Phone and texting works fine, but I can't get 3G to work. I tried to replace the 53000 PRL with the 1X one and still the same. I'm getting "No network connection. No signal found for mobile networks".

Hmmm. Sometimes, what fixes it for me is to just reboot the phone.
Otherwise, sounds like something didn't flash over correctly. I always try and make sure that when flashing, I check the log and see that its successful / complete. If not, you'll end up with issues.
One issue I had was my phone number wasn't showing up when going to About Phone Status in Settings. It only showed the last four numbers. Reflashing worked fine for me.
And other thing. Did you follow the instructions about going the web on the gusto 2 first? I had to actually pick a website and try to open it.
Good luck!

You need to call verizon tell them your phone is not receiving text, and no data. Have them to reauthenicate the account and maybe you will get data then...... The problem with flashing to Verizon Prepaid is one wrong move and account gets locked out.........

You didn't write something correctly or missed a step. dial *228 on your phone. It may not let you dial the one or the two so just hang out and it will program your phone for you also then write the 53000 prl. I promise that if you follow the video exactly you will get 3g data unless you live somewhere that doesn't have 3g data.
I also want to touch on vipers comment about getting locked out of service. I'm constantly saying this but I'll say it again. I've been on verizon prepaid myself for over a year now. I'm currently on the 35 dollar plan. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I've also flashed several of my friends phones to VP and they haven't had any problems except for one guy every time he gets drunk the next day I have to rewrite his aaa and ha password (still can't figure that out) but no one has lost their account.
What do I think is happening to these accounts? Nothing I believe these individuals are people/businesses who get paid to flash phones and don't want the secrets out there and this is probably killing there business. People get concerned by problems and start to wonder about that. For instance a few years ago I was working for this small cell phone flashing company and flashing to boost started to kick off. Well we didn't have everything set up like this other company did so when someone came in we had this rumor going on that this guy who had his cell phone since they first came out, lost his number because boost found out and then he went to their shop and threw brick through their window.
Saying somthing like that to a customer we already had wasn't really targeted to him\her. But to any friends of theirs that questioned them about their service believe it or not but people like to talk. Especially about bricks being thrown through windows. I didn't stay long with that company but it's an example.

Wow, was that really necessary? Sounds to me like you totally dished on me and my comment, then judged me as one of these bad cellphone business owners as you called them. I hope i took this the wrong way as it is definatley not true. I would suggest you look at some of my posts how I help others all the time if this is the case. I flash many phones, to all carriers including Verizon Prepaid, and I know for a fact that sometimes your account needs reauthenicated. No different from Page Plus resetting the esn......... No scare tactics here, I dont need to write passwords even to verizon prepaid, I can pull them ota with no problem......

I was I've through all of your posts (takes about ten minutes) and your xda repoire at first is to just ask a bunch of questions and then you started to sell yourself as a cell phone flasher. Then you found out how to pull aaa keys and refused to tell anyone and blamed it on cdma workshop not being free. You can still show the process and I'm calling you out on that and the fact your trying to scare people into not going to verizon prepaid. You may fool some people but you don't fool me.
Hmm.. I must have misunderstood the *228 thing in the video. But anyways. Now that I did *228 thing, I'm stuck with the roaming indicator. Does that matter? I plan on flashing another rom and hope it changes it. Also, how does doing *228 affect the phone? It was working fine earlier and I even clocked 3G speeds at 2.7mbps.
Thanks

You can call me out all you want, I have done several phones while members watched and seen the keys pulled in. I have not tried in no way to scare people from verizon prepaid. I flash to them myself, but you are dead wrong if you do not think that a account will need to be reathenicated sometimes. I have nothing to prove to you but only offered a suggestion to the guy having issues (now my comment was seen that way by you, I have no idea) . Anyways good luck to you in your venture as I am way above arguing this with you. No one is fooling anyone here but you..... I don't need to sell myself, proof is in the pudding bro.......

I know your gonna read this because curiousity will bring you back to see my rebuttal. It's how life works. I'm not saying that you can't pull the aaa keys what I'm saying is that you refuse to share the knowledge of how to do it. You made a thread to talk about it but really I believe that you made that thread to make a profit. There is free software to record your screen and there is also hacked software for camtasia there is no excuse not to share especially on xda.
You probably won't respond because you don't want to share this info and pretending like you didn't see this post is probably better than trying to come up with an excuse because there isn't one.
I reflashed the phone again slowly making sure I follow each step of the video and also did the *228 on the phone. After I disable Wifi, I still get "No network connection. No Signal found for mobile networks."
At first I had the LG2 modem and it keep on prompting for a sim card, so I updated it to LJ7. Still no 3G and I keep on getting the roaming message.
I do noticed however when I got to Settings, About device, Status:
Network = Sprint (shouldn't this be Verizon?)
Mobile network type: 1xRTT:6 (CDMA)
User name = [email protected] (shouldn't this be something like my telephone # @vzw.com?)
Mobile network state = disconnected (???)
IMEI =Old one from Sprint (shouldn't this be my Verizon Gusto 2 IMEI?)
Thanks guys for all your help.
I flashed the MOAR rom and kept LG2 modem. Did you download and flash rhe correft PRL? I also went out for a drive to make ure 3G would appear. I would recommend you do the same and see if it helps.

OK, let me try to use the MOAR rom instead. The LG2 modem keeps on asking for a sim card. Sprint is CDMA, so hence no sim card.
I'm using the LJ7_STOCK_WITH_COUNT_RESET16 rom and the pageplus_sprint_phones_only_no_roaming_indicator_53000.prl

Hmmm.. I never had a problem with the Sim request. From my understanding, you probably still have the Mobile Network set to LTE. That should be the only reason why it's looking for a Sim Card.
I also noticed a different PRL after activating on Verizon.
Good Luck!

Are you sure need to be on LG2? Everytime I flash that modem I get that symbol on the left (sim i think) and no data connection. Shouldn't LJ7 modem work?
Hi everyone,
I have, hopefully, a simple problem. I recently upgraded to a galaxy s4 from the s3. the s3 is a year old as my corporate contract allows me to upgrade my phone every year. so I am with bell, and my wife is with telus. she wanted my s3 since she has the iphone 4 and is sick of it. I updated the software on the s3 about 3 weeks ago so some of the threads on here wouldn't work for unlocking it. I went to the cell unlocker website and paid for a code. I still have the email they sent with all the codes, unlock, freeze etc, and it worked. I put her sim card in and could text and call out. the phone says telus where it said bell before. however the data will not work. Wi-Fi does but mobile data will not. we went to a telus store, they upgraded her sim card but to no avail. I tried searching for threads here but didn't come up with something like this. the phone is stock, no mods or anything, I even reset it back to factory settings, sim still works just no mobile data. I tried to get bell to unlock it before but they said they couldn't cuz it was tied to a contract.
I hope someone has seen this before and can help because i'm at a loss.
thanks for any ideas

Have you looked into the APN settings? I have them around here somewhere. I can locate them and forward them to you if you'd like. You can also find them right on the Telus website. I'm thinking that's a good place to start.

that would be awesome, thanks. I know the rep for the telus kiosk at Devonshire mall went in to look at a few things, but he wasn't sure and google what was happening but he said it was all at&t stuff, then gave me back my phone. but yeah I would appreciate the info. not sure if my email shows or not but it is [email protected]. I will try that out and post back as to what is happening.
I have flashed back to stock rom, got a new sim, pulled battery...
I have no idea what to do.
I even updated with kies.
It works for about a minute then drops call. Then it continues with nit regustered on network.
Currently, I am a AT&T Customer but im unlocked.
I contacted tmibile, and at&t and the phone is noy blacklisted.
The imei is the same in settings as on the back.
Ideas?
Same happend to me this minday and I restored back up n worked ok next day same issue.my note 2 was blacklisted after having it for a year.i bought mine on craigs befor xmas guess I was lucky it wasnt blacklisted sooner.any way in a bind I just picked up another note 2 from tmo 50.down but yea full signal cant register on network imei in tackt looks bad.good luck .the check esn website takes a while to update.tgey claim that blacklisted phones only work outside the u.s now
I went to both AT&T and T-Mobile and the phone isn't blacklisted.
So. Far I have figured out this much, if I set it at 2g, I have full bars. I have full service right now and I set my network to AT&T my searching available networks. The I changed 2g, to 2g/3g/4g.
Will it stay I dont know, its driving me nuts.
Is it possible to be unlocked. But not totally? Should I try flashing back to 4.1..1 then doing the unlock and then flash a updated stock rom.
Or flash a AT&T modem since I want to use their service?
When I went back to stock, It did a OTA update. Could of that messed with my connection? Maybe when I did the factory reset, it set it back to T-mobile?
Sorry such a noob!
I just typed this whole thing and still shiw 4g and 3 bars. So probably a few minutes which is better than before.

a couple months ago i had my epic 4g flashed over to metro with data working and everything except pic messaging. then i went for a dry spell with work and had to shut my metro phone off to pay bills. well i went to get it turned back on which worked just fine on the epic but data wont turn back on. the guy that flashed my phone told me that my phone would have to be flashed again, i am not paying another 60 dollars to flash this phone. so anyway can anyone give me a hand in figuring this out? i tried getting my phone on qpst and cdma workshop but for some reason it won't recognize my phone and cdma just tells me phone wont answer. and help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a wild guess, but maybe try updating your Profile. And you can access the "MMS Server URL" setting with ##3282##. You'll need your MSL and get the server setting from MetroPCS.
You'll have to do both of these using the Samsung-based firmware. If you are flashed with a custom ROM then you can try booting into a temporary Samsung FC09 ROM.
