Rom im using now is the KangKong Bullet rom since it is a Skyrocket rom thought i could flash KJ3 and get great service.. I was wrong need help!!! plzz!
I believe that you will need a radio with ICS RILs or a radio without the RILs to get it to work on an ICS based ROM

Nice try but, I don't think it works like that. I could be wrong here but, that would be what they call "roaming". It makes sense if you think about it. Why would AT&T allow you to use their towers and provide service when you don't have an account with them and pay them? And, when you do go into roaming, there are back-end agreements between providers to facilitate that. That's why roaming charges would be so high since a portion of that is paid to the provider allowing you to on their network to access Tmo network.
please feel free to add / correct my message here.

Hi all, ever since stock went to JB 4.1, I can not get phone to work on any Rom. Any ROM I flash, many and all radio flash and kernel flash. No matter what, I can not get phone to work on any Rom, except stock rooted Roms. I have T-Mobile SGH-T989 SG2! I wiped everything, tried touch and non touch CWM and just can't get phone to work. I tried every radio that is posted and read all radio issue threads. I even started from a fresh Odin stock flash with wiping everything on phone and sd card as well as external format. All roms that I flash work, but cant not connect to T-Mobile! I even manually applied APN's. Some Roms will detect T-Mobile and it won't connect. Keep getting AT&T, but won't register. This is the second thread I started, but with only one response for help that I tried. PLEASE, anyone with some advice, Thanks!

It might be your sim card then. Try and get a new one or if its not that it could be a hardware issue

Doubt it is Sim card, phone works fine on stock JB (Rooted). Thx!
Try Network app from Market, and select GSM Auto (Prl).
Or go to settings, more, mobile networks and network mode and select GSM/WCDMA preferred.
Or go to EDGE / 2G only as a test.
In CM 10.1 and SlimBeam weeklies which I use, it seems to default to LTE/WCDMA. Since our phone does not have LTE, and very few T-mo markets have LTE, I found in some areas it would not register on the network at all until I changed the network preferences to one of the above because I presume the phone is trying LTE when the S2 doesn't have LTE. Also check your APN's? Just some suggestions.
You need a new phone perhaps then.
Seriously, with the new radio for T-Mobile or Telus, which are the only ones that work on all current roms (any others you've tried has been wasted time), and the correct apn settings, you shouldn't be having issues. Triple check radio is correct and apn.
You say your sim is fine.
So everything seems to be ruled out. And other than radio and apn, it can't be any settings, not after a clean install.
Phone busted is all that's left. Simple process of elimination. Well....if it somehow works on stock, but nothing else....then I guess your stuck with stock.
Thx.
P.s. getting snarky with people trying to help will certainly make most people, who may have ideas, just close the thread instead of trying to help.

I have an unlocked stock rooted AT&T i747 running 4.1.2. I want to use it on the Bell network. When I put in a Bell sim, it shows it has service, and the pda.bell.ca APN shows up, but it can't find the Bell network, only Rogers. Just wondering if anyone else has tried the same thing and had success or no? As it is I cannot call, text, or browse... Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Is there an option in the network settings to select lte or wcdma?
Did you check to make sure the phone isn't listed as being blacklisted?

I haven't located any settings about WCDMA or LTE. On my i747m I'm used to being able to toggle between 2G/3G/4G. Nothing like that here. Bell's IMEI check approved it, and it's not on the national blacklist.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434995 has the APN, I assume you already looked it up but can be useful.
Getting service but no data is usually just not having data turned on.. So obvious question: Do you have it turned on in your settings/pulldown menu?
If your APN checks and data is turned on, you might have to give Bell a call (don't have to tell them you have a US variant).
Thanks for your input. Data is definitely turned on. However, please remember that it's not only data that isn't working. I am also unable to call and text.

Can you check to make sure your baseband matches your bootloaders? If it does, I'm out of options for now. Bell (or someone else) can probably help you further.
Sorry for not being overly knowledgeable...
How can I tell what bootloader I'm running?

Ok. I found how tell what bootloader I'm running. The baseband and bootloader do match.

Which carrier are you trying to use the phone with? If it is Telus/Bell/Koodo/Virgin, it should work without changing anything.
The only networks that support GSM are Fido and Rogers.

The ATT should work on Bell and Telus. My Bell i747m could roam on ATT when I travelled to the USA.
Just to confirm: you can connect to the Rogers network but not Bell or Telus?
I got this phone for my dad, as he had this old crappy phone for years and overpaid for his cell bill every month for minute plan lol i know.
So i got him this Galaxy s4-m919 model to find out that it was upgraded as part of a plan, then the person claimed it they lost it to sell it to another person, and ofc they wouldn't refund me.
So i took another path and came on here to get help, ofc it was a T-mobile phone, so I guess i'm blacklisted on t-mobile networks, but i flashed to 4.3 modem, did sim unlock, then flashed back to 4.2.2.
Put in my new Att sim card, and service has worked ever since, the lame part is now he wants to use MMS, and it keeps on failing to send/receive, when he recieve a mms from someone, it comes up as a huge ass url(you have to click it to see the picture in the browser or w.e, but never ever loads rofl, idk y.)
He doesn't use any apps, he just uses it for calling, internet at times, navigation, wants to use MMS, takes pictures/video, etc. But MMS doesn't work, I ever called the H2O to help me, and they said that i needed to change my "Message Center #" for it to work, seriously? My other phone has "+12063130004", and my dad's is "+13123149810", i think H2O rep wanted me to change it to the # my other phone has which is the first number i listed. Is this really the care? If so, how can I change it? =/
First thing to check, in my opinion, is to see if all the APN options are set correctly. Settings \ Mobile Network \ <more> APN Settings will usually get you there. The ATT APN settings can be found here but you may need to search around if H2O requires different ones. I'm on standard ATT and the settings at that link work for me, with my M919 phone.
Good luck!

Just tried ATT Phone APN settings, and my internet nor MMS work; yeah H2O has a bit different settings then att.
They're:

APN: att.mvno
proxy: not set
port: not set
server: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingurlar.com
Multimedia message proxy: 66.209.11.33
Multimedia message port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: not set
APN type: *
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Turn APN on/off: on
Mobile virtual network operator type: none
I also saw somewhere that you can hook up your phone to the computer and change the Message Center # using Root Explorer(just re-read the post on xda about this and u have to have it rooted =/), then 'SilverEdit' to edit the xml to enter the message center number?( also heard it wasn't permanent either, if u turned it off, or battery died or w.e. it would revert to the previous #, not sure tho) Not sure what to do here. The internet works fine, but H2O rep says i need to change my Message center number to a different one for mms to work. Also tried changing default msging app to hangouts and sending a mms, and it came up with " mobile plan blocks MMS." I also put his sim card into my working phone, and ofc the message center # was the same when i switched it over to my phone and ofc it won't send, says "mms not supported by network, service response error"
Anyone?
Can anyone help me with "Message Center"? My MMS doesn't work, can't send or receive(when i receive an mms, it comes as a big ass url something like "viewmymessage.com/webgui/bla bla/ bla bla/ and so on/", can't open the link on the phone.
If you have AT&T service on a t-mobile phone it needs to be unlocked. He is using it to call people, so I guess it is. You should try flashing an AT&T modem.
Before that, try making your APN type: IPv4 or IPv6. And MM message proxy:0
I'l try that, just put in my H2O settings: APN type: IPv4 or IPv6. And MM message proxy:0; Can't try atm, as for some reason his data went down to 0, even tho he wasn't even using internet for anything on his phone...which was weird. The way I unlocked this phone was flashing the 4.2.2. modem, then went thru "service mode" and did step by step. If the Apn settings you gave, wouldn't work, would flashing the att modem 100% work(got link for the modem, cba to find it atm, last time if flashed it, i used odin)? I'm on 4.4.2 Android version, Baseband: m919uvufnb4.

You're with AT&T on a Tmobile phone right? You should still need to have an AT&T modem. In the slot where it says "APN type", put it as IPv4 and the slot below "APN type", put it as IPv4, also. But non of that is worth trying if you are using AT&T service. You need AT&T modem and APN settings.
Edit: I was watching a movie and read you comment wrong lol. Yes you need to flash AT&T modem and APN

Actually, be careful with this. The modem (which is two parts) has to be paired with the phone model. For example, an M919 can't use the modem from an I337. The Modem runs the radio hardware, which varies by phone. ATT & T-Mo variants have different antennae bands supported, so need somewhat different radios. I'm not sure if trying a different radio will brick anything, but numerous threads have said it doesn't work. The modem consists of the modem.bin (the "GSM Modem") which can be flashed at will, and the non-hlos.bin ("LTE Modem")which needs to be paired with the phone bootloader, or else chaos ensues.
You DO need the right APN settings. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the message center thing... can't help there.

Your phone will still be unlocked regardless. Try to change the APN setting to AT&T first. Like Frankenscript said, both phones have different radios so changing the modem might not work.

I seen people say it works and others say it didn't. Nothing about bricking the phone tho but I do understand what you are saying.
I tried ATT settings, didnt work. I put on H20 settings that were on the site, didn't work. Tried my bros H2O settings that he got from chat rep on their site, then 4G started working, but I keep getting "Mms failed, server error" or w.e. keeps failing, put the H2O internet settings(on), and mms settings. Not sure if his phone is missing something or because his phone is blocked on tmobile's networks, his using H2O meaning his on ATT's network.(i bought him a cheap 1$ mirco-sim, off ebay) Not sure if that plays any role, the calls are good, dats works now, etc, just mms wouldn't work. Suggestions? Some1 on H2Os rep side said it could be the "message center #", that's y it can't be sent or receive or w.e.(His is atts message center #, and its greyed out"
Anyone know how to fix mms problem?(cant receive or send atm, tried a lot of things). Mms keep failing, server error, not supported by network or w.e., lost on wut else to do.
Anyone?

Cell 4 sale store was selling it, not just a random person. I guess they probably either do it themselves ir buy it from ppl who do it.(upgrade their phone to gs4 or w.e. then claim it lost or stolen, thus keeping their old one and selling the new one) I think they probably flashed it to work for internation, but idk, might've been rooted before 4.4.2, since ota got installed, means root is gone. Anyway to fix the problem instead of just replying with a negative reply? I want to use the phone, calling etc works fine everywhere, 4g is a bit in some places, mms doesnt work at all, one rep at h2o said it might be cuz of message center number, he wanted me to change it to a diff one and see if it solves it or not, but my message center is greyed out.
Apparently there is something wrong with it, at least you should be able to get it replaced for one that works. It could be a build.prop issue. Just guessing.
Pp. Good luck.
Still looking for a solution, anything I could try, to fix Mms to work again?(cant send or receive as it says "server error", failed mms, etc)
I have the straight talk galaxy s3 that runs on Verizon towers...I have my contract 4G sim in the phone running a Verizon rom and everything does work but it roams everywhere I go and I don't get any 4G (disabled by straight talk). I was wondering if flashing a sprint rom would help at all? I seen the sticky saying not to flashing any rom from another carrier but I've flashed dozens of different roms and all has been good except the roaming. Anyways, just wanted to see if I could get some help here. Thanks in advance
What would it take to enable the 4G on this phone?

You might have to configure your APNs, or, if you haven't for a long time, you might need to update your modem, since you don't get that sort of update with custom ROMs. On my Virgin Mobile phone, I have to flash an APN fix on every new ROM, otherwise I just have 3G.

The straight talk version I have runs off Verizon towers and they have 4G disabled but the phone is suppose to be 4G enabled. The apn fixes didn't help. I'm wondering if this would need something like cdma workshop.
Ah, I see. Yeah, if the 4g is blocked on multiple ROMs, you'll need an app to fiddle with the sim card. Hopefully it's not hard blocked (a physical switch or the card is incapable of it even though the phone is)! I'd try to contact Straight Talk and/or see if it works on stock. If you're trying to get 4g without straight talk knowing, well, I don't know much about that, but CDMA workshop or something similar might be worth a shot.
I was thinking cdma workshop would be the answer but I don't know where they have it turned off. It sucks being confined to 3G when the phone is 4G compatible and straight talk will allow 4G on there Verizon network now.
