Hi everyone, I currently have a sprint branded Galaxy S3 on straight talk. It didnt require a flash at all, and everything works perfectly. I went ahead and got a good deal on a Note 2, and wanted to put it onto my account on ST. I checked the cdma bring your own phone site on my phone on their mobile sitr and put in the meid number, and was told it would work. So i called ST and was told it wasnt compatible, and check the site again this time from my labtop and it said it wasnt compatible. So is their anyway to put this phone on my account using sprint towers??

Hello All,
I am having an issue where I am unable to get any data on my Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II. I am currently using a ATT One X+ and get full bars of LTE service in my area, while I understand I will not be able to get LTE service on the device, I cannot get any data. The default APN on the phone was Cingular 410, I've also attempted to create a new APN mirroring the exact settings on my HTC One X+. I've reflashed the stock OS and bootloader and issue persists.
I've done some searching and found one similar issue, I am currently using a NANO LTE slim from my ATT iPhone 5 with a nano to micro converter. The post I found said the user had some issue doing this as well and went to ATT for a LTE Micro SIM and his issue was solved. I'm not sure how this would make a difference since the Nano to Micro works just fine in my ATT One X+.
I was under the impression from what I read online I would just need to pop in my ATT LTE sim into the Unlocked TMobile Note II and be on my way with any data lower than LTE. I have also verified I am successfully able to make calls with the ATT sim inserted into the Unlocked TMobile Note II
Any insight would be beneficial? Thanks!
Did you change the apn?

Turns out I thing I got scammed, thanks craigslist. I think the modem is blown out on this phone, My phone will not even register a SIM is inserted in it anymore, even when using a TMobile SIM.
Is there anything I can do, go to TMobile or reach out to Samsung for support?

Would you mind sharing what happened and what's wrong with the modem? When you bought the phone, didn't you put your sim in and test it?

You need to do some work, but im pretty sure everything can be back up and running, another user was able to restore the blown efs/nv/modem on a messed up GNII, once he had that working, even injected a Behold imei onto the phone and get full service...
Search the forum for the thread, ill try to find it and post it here for ya
Edit: here is what the guy did... the links he refers you to should show you all the steps you need to do... hopefully this helps....
"Here is what i had... i lost my note and got a replacement.. then i found my note in my girls car.. no service i insert my sim no service my imei was blacklisted. so i googled ways to change my imei. no dice the terminal emulator way didnt work. i said i got a paper weight and i can **** with it so i did.. got in the service mode *#197328640# and toyed with everything in there.. lost all the network setting and signal and in the
umts /debugmode /common/ rebuild nv it said it will delete my efs part. so i did haha lost my imei bootloader serial number and everything that makes my note a phone. a few days later i was at it again but this time i was going to fix it hoorah! so read and read bout efs part and googled some more and more.. and found this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
what i did was backed up my new notes efs/ nv files and used them in my other note.. now i have 2 notes with same serial number and imei i gave one to my wife and both are working like new.. but having 2 phones on same family plan with same ime/sderial numberi just wont cut it. so i decided to change the imei and foud this....

straight talk only sells tmobil sims and i bought one to put in my note2 and i set apns to what the instructions say but can not get it to work
that's interesting it should if you are on a custom rom some of them have att straight talk setting under apn. But I ordered one should have it by Friday will report back if you don't resolve issue by then. I know straight talk used to sell att sim but not any more

It will work but you will need to mod the phone a little to make it work correctly. Goto here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168553 And you will get the info you need to do the mods. I've already modded mine just in case I need to jump ship from AT&T to Tmobile. It's really not that hard. I already tested it with a friend's note 2 and a tmobile SIM and it worked perfectly with 4G. You DO NOT have to load a Tmobile ROM for it to work. That part is incorrect. You DO need the ROM if you want WIFI calling though.
hey guys. I have a Note 2 that I bought brand new and immediately flashed to MetroPCS last year. I assume this means it has a clean ESN since it's never been used on Sprint.
now I moved to Verizon, and just got my new Note 2 (about to root!) and want to sell the Sprint version. is it possible to revert the radio and all other settings so it can connect to Sprint, and I can sell it as a Sprint phone rather than a flashed MetroPCS phone, since nobody seems to want flashed phones anymore.
thanks!
Nobody?

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 a note 2 (sprint bad esn) that I cannot get flashed to page plus.
I have had this phone on Verizon prepaid until it crapped out.
I then put it on boot mobile but could not get it to work
I then am now trying to get it on Page plus.
I have tried Wireless Workshop, manually doing it with CDMA and DFS, and have taken it to 2 different companies in my town to have it flahed. They cannot findout anything that is wrong with the phone and still cannot get it to properly flahsed.
So my options are Is there a way to get this thing flashed back to sprint. (stock data, mms, and voice) settings and re flash it to page plus or can i just take it back to a sprint store and they can do it for me?
thanks!
Chris
What's exactly wrong with it ? I've got mine flashed to Verizon prepaid but its basically the same as pageplus far as flashing

Thanks for the reply.
The company that flashed it was remotewirelesstech.com
They flashed it then about 2 months later it crapped out on me. I lost data then i lost voice/text a couple of weeks later.
I contacted them and they said that they will not reflash bc alot of ppl have hadthis happen to them in the past.
So I tried to flash to Boost. Got everything to work, then I got no data or voice.
I then tried to use wireless workshop to go to Pageplus but nothing would work.
Someone told me that Pageplus will not allow rooted phones, so I unrooted and went back to a stock rom 4.1.2.
I reflashed with wireless workshop and now when I try to call it askes to add money to the account.
But nothing works. I still have 2 dollars on my PP account.
I then took it to 2 different flashing companies around my area and they could not figure it out. (II think they both done just automated one click methods) but Ive even tried to get it to work with CDMA workshop and DFS to no avail.
If someone is up to it, I can donate paypal to get this thing flashed remotly. Im so desperate.
I paid almost 500 for this phone last march and now If I sell it, It will only get 300 out of it. But I love my Note II, and was thinkgin about buying the verizon model if I sell this one.
Any suggestions??
i can help
i can do a remote flash.... those 1 click methods dont work to well....i use dfs
pm me and we can set up something
