[Q] "Not Registered On Network" Error - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hi, hoping you guys can help me out:
Current Problem: Bought an unlocked N900T, put in my metroPCS sim, try to dial *228 to switch my plan to that phone's IMEI. Get the "Not Registered On Network" error. Ok. Call metroPCS and have them switch me to that IMEI manually while phone is off and sim is out, still not working, they switched the phone to troubleshooting mode for 2 hours and still couldnt figure it out. Now I'm back on my S3 trying to figure out what's wrong.
Things it cant be:
1) Can't be the sim, it works fine in my S3
2) Can't be the IMEI is bad, checked and looks good
3) Can't be ESN is blocked, checked that
Things i've already tried:
1) ODIN back to pure stock rom (was already there anyway tho)
2) Factory reset
3) Set network to GSM, select automatic registration, never finds service.
I hear there is some Ariza patch to fix network for s3, s4, note 2. dont see one for Note 3. Any ideas would be appreciated. :crying:

You might be in in a At&t area, and its trying to connect to that carrier. Mine does that when I'm not in tmobile area. You might want to uncheck roaming if it's enabled.

Sound like it's default carrier is wronge. Find network operators and manually set it to metropcs.

Also check what frequency metropcs is using. And set it correctly. Because if it's not set right your phone will try and connect to the wronge carrier that it's not registered too. It sounds like it's trying to connect to the wrong carrier.

Sprint L710 --> Verizon prepaid

So finally got it worked on Verizon prepaid. Can say it works perfect, perhaps first day, 3G works well.
In that case I have a few questons.
If I flash new Kernel, will it affect on my Verizon service at sprint's L710?
In total what I MUST NOT flash to keep Verizon working on my phone?
How dis you flash it to verizon prepaid?
Same way like to Boost or others with donored Verizon ESN it works well.
As for Tutorial, I'm not a specialist in that question but can help to write it if there are few sources.
Assuming it's like every other flashed service providers, flashing roms and kernels will not affect anything except maybe your ability to send mms. Just don't do a ##786# factory reset using a touchwiz rom because that will clear out your MDN/MSID and AAA Hex keys.
There's no way I'd be on Verizon for their 3g.

can't figure out how to connect phone to it.. put phone to debugging, and soft doesn't recognize it
You should try dfs. It connects to the gs3. I'm) poking for the settings to change. Sort of a step by step. There are plenty for cricket and boost. Just in can't find any for Verizon. I'm sure the steps are similar in just need the specific strings to put in.

Yes it connects.
Well, if you tell me where to look into DFS i'll provide you settings that you need.
In dfs look in Ports->diagnostic
I'm not sure we can post this stuff on xda. I know the guides have been deleted before.

Sorry, didn't see.
Well yesterday everything was good on 3g, but when I flashed CM10 I lost data connection, now I come back to stock but there is still some issues with data and Sprint icon appearing, sometimes I get 67 Error Registration to sprint failure.
I checked ##data, there is a lot of settings belong to Sprint. Also now i noticed that 3g speed too slow, i tried speedtest and got 120 down/150 up via speedtest, its not what I got yesterday before CM10. Also phone sometimes looses connection. Think something went wrong while I flashed CM10 or that guy didnt set all proper settings.
Averything txt/call/data work, but some issues I still have to solve...
Does somebody have some info what alse to change in settings?
Ill just stick to Speint instead of going thru all of that trouble to get prepaid.
Headed to get a gusto donor phone. Did you get the 3g worked out?

I flashed my Epic Touch to Virgin and now I pay $55 instead of $110 and get same service because Virgin is owned by Sprint and uses same towers

No I did not. Cause I have no AAA/HA codes.
Also I can't flash zeros to SPC that's why I have no possibility to flash it over the air to Verizon.
No luck so far. I have done everything but i have the roaming sign. I cant make a call or text. Can you maybe post a screenshot of your tabs in dfs? I figure that would be easier than typing your values. When i try to make a call i get the verizon operator only. Im did not flash a verizon radio or anything. Not sure if thay matters.

T989 out of USA issues: good signal but no network access

I have this T989 unlocked and beeing used with local SIM in Central America, maybe the modem/radio is not full compatible with the local network because in a Building I can get 3 or 4 signal bars but when I send a SMS I get "SMS not send" message, and get "No Network Service" when trying a voice call, why is there 3-4 signal bars without Network Available? Phone come back to normal when I go to an open field. Maybe the T989 Modem/Radio is not as full compatibleas I9100 (international model) modem/Radio? May I flash I9100 Modem/Radio into T989?
First, if you flash that radio you could brick. Do not flash anything not made for your device.
If you're on Jelly Bean, or a higher custom rom version, only the latest T-Mobile or Telus radios will work. Nothing else.
Is likely that your apn settings are wrong or missing. You'll have to Google what your carrier apn settings are and check in mobile network settings.
Also, if your carrier bands aren't supported by the t989, there's nothing you can do... It won't work.
View my profile, I dare you. ?

Yep, I have no sim and see those " signal bars" all the time. I believe T-Mobile told me it was for 911 signal or something.

OK, T989 will only work with modem for T989.
Thank you both!

AT&T Note 5 COM PORT/IOT Hidden Menu

Happy Holidays to those who celebrate.
I have a AT&T Note 5 SM-N920W8 and I am looking for assistance in getting my device to connect as a COM PORT for use with QXDM, QPST, JDSU, ect. Also the GSM variant code for the IOT Hidden menu.
I have tried the CDMA/Verizon method of ##366633# for DM and ##433346# for IOT, but no luck. Any ideas XDA?
Thanks
Any Help?
XDA,
I would appreciate an answer on this. Yes/No. Any help is appreciated.

You aren't getting an answer because your question doesn't make sense. There is no AT&T device with a model of SM-N920W8.
He's asking for the hidden menu dialer code that will work on the Note 5. I think the problem he's experiencing is that sometimes these hidden codes are carrier specific, but he's using an unofficial model of the phone on the ATT network. I would suggest he reach out directly to Samsung for the dialer code - you can even do so through their Samsung+ app
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------
Have you tried:
*#0*# - Hardware Test Menu
*#*#4636#*#* - Phone Info/test Menu
*#9090# - Service Mode
I can confirm all those work and provide different functions on the SM-N920A on the AT&T Carrier network.

Thank you for the help. I was told it was an AT&T variant, after looking at the information I can see that it is not. I have tried those codes, but they are not the ones I am after. The IOT hidden menu is the one I have been searching for. The usual code I use for my samsung products is ##433346#, but I usually have to go into a PST tool to unlock the hidden menus first because most carriers lock these menus down unless you have a test device.

T-Mobile help

I need your help guys and gals. Just switched to T-Mobile and my wife is the only one having issues. I had the phone unlocked and it does work but intermittently. The data will stop working at random even with correct apn settings. Sometimes the 4g lte indicator will be there sometimes not. Restart sometimes fixes, searching available network helps as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Mod please move to question. Put it in wrong place. Thanks.
Apn settings you need to manually set them

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30273
Here is the settings above (link straight from t-mobile)
Also just an FYI in case that doesn't work... there has been issues with 7.0 active on t-mobile
Flash back to 6.0.1 (no root needed) and then set apn settings. However don't do that unless for sure your still having issues after going through everything else.
I have set all the apn settings. She is running 7.0, I will try 6 when she gets home.
Try this

This is not "S7 Active" specific issue. It is overall S7 issue on Android 7.0. You don't need to downgrade to 6.0.1. Just delete all the APNs (make it EMPTY!) -> Restart phone -> Add APN -> Restart. Problem solved.

If you get poor LTE coverage on T-mobile, you should switch to 4G instead. That way, you'll get better reception + you'll save little bit of battery life.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone dialer -> 'Device Information' -> 'Set Preferred Network Type:' -> Select 'WCDMA preferred' or 'Global auto (PRL)'
I used to get 1 bar on LTE, now I'm getting full coverage on UMTS. I'm on MINT SIM (they are T-mobile MVNO).

How long have you had the device? If less than 60 days you're going to have to call Verizon.
If over 60 days.
Which Straight Talk SIM did you use? If I remember correctly, Straight Talk includes different SIMs for each network in its packaging.
You may need to call Straight Talk.

They did not unlock it and I've had it over a year. They have a verizon sim that can make and receive calls and text. We can't send or receive mms and have no data connection. I try to get the proper apn and it says the user cannot make changes and everything is grayed out.

Probably need to flash unlocked firmware so you have full access to all the settings like apn and such
---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------
From the way you've described. You cannot even put in apn settings?
Called Verizon and they said its unlocked and I cant change those settings even after the phone is unlocked so I'm screwed. There is no way for me to root and put custom firmware on it to edit that. I have a paperweight

Then you need to call Straight Talk. The issue is with them, or you used the wrong SIM. Straight Talk includes multiple SIMs in its packaging because it supports all four (three?) of the US carriers.
You can also check to see if your phone will work:
