I bought a galaxy nexus online in italy (imported).
The firmware is Yakjuxw and was not updated. I had a card H3G italy and everything worked ok.
I then updated to yakju and was always ok. I had Android 4.2.1
Today I changed my carrier and not read any sim Wind Italy
you can not tell me another radio to flash it correctly?
or at least I can redo the procedure to bring him yakjuxw?
how do I fix it without having to bring in help?
I discovered dall'imei by samsung which is imported Romanian
sounds like your phone was temporary unlocked and after flashing yakju you lost the unlock.. now the phone only accepts sim of the carrier its locked to.. the only way to fix this is by either calling the carrier and getting a unlock code or buying the unlock code online..
PS- i can see you need help but next time post in the correct section :good:
the gnexus is not carrier locked...
other sim with other carrier goes well...only wind italy have problems
maybe i have flashed a not radio img compatibile?
Try this app, it says it's only for docomo network. But it worked fine for me, you have to be rooted for it to work tough.

edit: Use the unlock method where you keep your IMEI code, could void warrenty otherwise.

oh.. then i am not sure what the issue is... weird that it stop reading one specific carriers sim
I can confirm nexus phones comes factory unlocked regardless the county you purchased it from.
Make sure you don't have a bad baseband after the ROM update.
I bought mine in Canada under a Fido contract and it works fine here in Italy and anywhere else I have been with any carriers.

hi,
the problem is that the sim is not recognized by the phone...it not ask me the pin code!
Now i can check the baseband....i flash this adio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img then i think i have this xxla2
and not work with this carrier
i think i must flash the JB Baseband...XXLF1 = baseband Europe
to install it as long as I put it on the phone, go into recovery and do update zip?
But have you tried a total recovery?

If he's running stock ROM, the baseband would have updated along with the 4.2.1 update...that's how my Nexus updated when I went to stock a few weeks ago...the bootloader also updates to the latest...the SIM is probably defective or that particular carrier runs on a different band (unlikely)...it could also be that the APN settings need to be entered manually like I have to do with Straight Talk.

The radio will have nothing to do with it. Almost all GSM GNex radios are compatible with almost all GSM carriers in the world.

This is NOT true. There are many GNex devices that come carrier locked.

hi to all.
i bought a sprint S4 mini L520 with KK 4.4.2/ NE3 modem on ebay and i try to sim unlock it (internationally).
so, I follow this thread but i dont find the earliest modem for the L520
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587
I follow this other thread and i was able to access all the menu and i have done everything,
after that i can access network mode, apn setting, but still invalid sim.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610&page=75
i try the region lock away after i rooted the phone but still invalid sim?
so moderators and senior members why we cant find previous modem for the s4 mini in my case L520???
on xda we have unlocked many other harder phones and not a S4 mini!!!
please help us find a solution
GOD BLESS ALL
The Sprint variant is a CDMA phone. I don't think it will work on GSM networks, if that's what you're trying to.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&i...amsung_serrano
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i919..._mini-5375.php
im looking to sim unlock the S4 mini L520 (sprint).
after i follow one of the unlocking guide i can access gsm,umts network setting, apn setting and many other settings.
so i think it just need a software like S4 L720 to unlock it.
i try the same software but shows DONE AND REBOOTS THE PHONE BUT THE PHONE SHOWS INVALID SIM.
BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE WORK WITH FIRST MODEMS NOT WITH THE LAST NE3 OF THE L520 BUT IM NOT FINDING ANY MODEM.
I'd be surprised if it's possible to get a GSM SIM to be recognized in a CDMA phone.
There are firmwares with old modem on sammobile, but unfortunately since the phone is already running kitkat, downgrading is impossible afaik.

but there is just the mk2,the phone was released on may 2013, so there is an older modem a think,
so i just flash the modem, maybe i can unlock it and than reflash the new modem again.

Do you have any news about downgrading?
Hey, So, I realized I posted a forum about this with an "anonymous" account.. And sorry about that.
Anyways, My issue is, my darn phone will drop the network, and decides to connect to a rogers or telus Network Operator instead of Bell (or just completely dropping the network entirely). I did the unlock hack through the original baseband, then updated to cyanogen 12.1 and installed the I317MVLUDNF3 modem, Same issues. I just dealt with it but am wanting to try to fix this. I recently moved to Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 (which, by the by, is amazing) and its gotten better reception, but same darn issue.
So, How do i go along to fix this? Any way through xposed or root or WHATEVER cause this makes the phone really unreliable.
Does this problem exist when using the latest stock rom?

No i do not believe it did.. I could try with the stock rom again as i dont completely remember. But I am 80% sure it didn't.

It could be that these custom ROMs need the latest bootloader and modem to function properly.

I'm downloading the mvludnf4 modem, and i have the latest bootloader from 4.4.2.. So, lets see if this modem fixes it..
Any other ideas?
If it seems to work properly on a stock rom, maybe flash back a completely stock rom, flash twrp, and then a custom rom?

Sorry for the late reply. I flashed the nf4 modem and reception is better.. Battery life sucks but oh well. I think this is a hardware issue.. I'm getting around -90 to -110dbm and 0-7 asu MAX. Maybe my antenna is busted?
Maybe try flashing back to a completely stock rom instead of just flashing the modem?

Well.. I don't see how the ROM could have an impact with the signal strength but I'll give it a try. Anywhere i can find a completely stock rom? The one stop shop only has stock slightly modded. Unless that will work

And maybe the dialer unlock causes this? I could try getting it properly unlocked? Any insight on how carrier locks work?
I had an i317m that was locked to Telus running stock kk.
I used Odin to flash a stock 4.1.1 Samsung rom, sim unlocked the phone via the dialler menu, flashed back to the latest kk, pass the phone to a relative, and he has been using it for years on Rogers with no signal issues afaik. It may be possible that this method of unlocking causes a signal issue but I can't be sure.
In the thread that was linked, it looks like it could be a hardware problem.
Hmm.. Well I tore the phone apart and the antennas seem to be jn place.. The 4g antenna is alot smaller then the GT n7100's. Maybe that has something to do with it.. That or this phone has trouble with bell frequencies?

Then i am completely lost.. Something must be hardware related.
Not 100% sure but doesn't the phones imei number have to be registered on the network it's using. Maybe imei has something to do with it.
Just a copy and paste off the internet instead of linking to a website. I think imei is the problem.
What is IMEI?
Mobile phones, except the serial number have also IMEI number. IMEI — International Mobile Equipment Identity. IMEI — a common standard for all mobile devices, which is assigned to the phone at the time of manufacture it in the factory. It's the unique number, which is broadcasting to the carrier to authorize phone in the network. Structure of the IMEI is the same for all phones regardless of manufacturer. IMEI number is also used to track and block lost or stolen phones by the carrier, which further prevents to use of such devices. However, blocking IMEI in one carrier network have no effect in others networks.

Well.. If it was an imei issue wouldnt it be getting no signal at all since the phone can't register on the network?
Canadian carriers don't need the imei to be registered, only the SIM card.
So after a few months I decided to update my firmware, Im was using the viper 10 rom before hand.
I followed this guide to update it https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/2016-05-27-fastboot-flashing-firmware-t3387520
and downloaded the 2.41.617.3 for pme_wl. It flashed successfully and then I updated the viper rom to 5.7.
But now all of the sudden the sim card is not even recognized. It just showed the lte with a cross. And just to make sure the sim card wasn't broken, I put it
into another phone and it worked just fine.

Not sure if the same applies here, but I have a Sprint HTC 10 converted to US Unlocked on ATT running Viper and when I ran a US Unlocked update/RUU later, it made my IMEI change to unknown and say No SIM. The fix was simply to flash the Sprint/original carrier radio in bootloader and it all came back. Worth a try i guess. Good luck.

After I updated it im now stuck on 3g and cannot connect to 4G. Did this happen to you?
Im glad that worked for you too man. No I still had/have 4g on ATT network after. Unfortunately thats about the extent of my knowledge as far as radios go, but to double check, I believe there is a forum on here that lists the correct radio #s for each device.
I flashed att firmware on an unlocked note 10 plus but att still sees it as an unlocked phone. Is it possible to change the phone to completey read as an attvbranded model? I called to see if they could provision the IMEI of my phone and they were able to tell right away it was not one of theirs, even though it was running att firmware.

No, because (as you found out) the IMEI number is not from an AT&T branded phone.

I have a GOOGLE unlocked phone. I flashed N975U firmware on my phone and also flashed ATT USER DATA at the same time.. When my phone booted up - it had all of the ATT BLOAT that comes on an Att phone - it booted up with the ATT LOGO - it shows ATT ICONS in the Status Bar for Data (5GE instead of showing LTE or 4G) and I have Wifi Calling and Video Calling working on my phone...
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=301224
That is all it took. I didn't have to call ATT - It all just worked - and it was not working that way BEFORE I flased Userdata.
YMMV but I have heard about others who had the same experience. Go tot he N975U Firmware thread and find the download for ATT USERDATA - That is where I found it....
Hope that helps you.....
Pixel and iPhones are supposedly able to do those things. I think that may be why it worked for you

Wish it was possible, but unfortunately no way exists.
If you have WiFi Callling, Video Calling and Volte working, why does it matter if ATT recognizes your phone as one of theirs or not? Just curious about what you are trying to accomplish ?
