So ive gone ahead rooted my P935 many times now quite simple to do. The question is its a Telus phone i'm with rogers, when i flash the v10f kdz i get origninal GB korean rom fully unlocked phone shows using rogers network. When then doing nitro hd unbrick guide and if i only DD the system.img file to install the att version p930 then do the battery pull factory reset my phone still is network unlocked. What i'm tryin to find out is which .img files baseband firmware etc would control this network lock, since when i tried to flash H!ONO v20c P930 cmw flashable ics leak my phone became network locked again. Ijust cant seem to straighten it all out , information overload .
That's very strange, flashing ROMs should not affect network lock. I'm using Bell P930 on Fido, I've flashed AT&T leak and Bell official ICS and neither have re-locked the phone. As long as the IMEI remains unchanged you should be able to use the original unlock code you received to unlock the phone again.

Interesting indeed would it be the v10f .kdz korean somehow. And heres the thing I have recieved no unlock code to unlock. And now am back to running the CM9.1 unlocked working on Rogers Network .
Aha! I figured it out. CM has your Rogers APN preconfigured. The official roms would not lol. I don't know why the SU640 rom was letting you connect. It really shouldn't because your firmware and baseband should be incorrect if you flash it. Anyway, APN has nothing to do with your phone being locked or not
w0095157, are you certain your phone was never carrier unlocked by someone? Did you purchase it brand new in box from a store?

brand new in box i swear, telus store,. must be a fluke. but it works id like to find more information on different radios modems, which may change service for me, but i was comparing this to what iphone 4 service was saying side b y side.
Yeah, that makes more sense. Unlock codes are $2 off of eBay, it's worth it just to make sure you don't have any hassles switching between ROMs.
Does LTE work on Rogers when using the Bell unlocked version (P930)?
I know you have to get an LTE Sim card and an LTE enabled plan, but before i buy on eBay and update my plan, i was wondering if the LTE band works on Rogers even if it is a Bell phone.
Yes, i have LTE in my area.
Cheers!

I don't live in Canada, but from what I'm able to find online, Rogers and Bell are using compatible LTE frequencies so it should work just fine.
It works!!!

So after trying million and 1 things I made it work! Baseband and firmware go together and I thought they contain the SIM/network lock so i tried changing them, but apparently all the versions i tried were locked too.... so since the Korean version is with unlocked SIM, why not change directly from it to Cyanogen build ??? Because the wifi is not working!!! and since i did not manage to fine how to install in while offline (CM or Clockworkmod) i flashed from the Korean version just the system.img and voila! I have unlocked SIM with working WIFI ... so putting CM after this was a breeze!
so:
1. flash to Korean V10F_00.kdz
2. root the phone
3.adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
should have unlocked SIM + everything else working on the ATT version which you can now install Clockworkmod and go for Cyanogen mod of your choice. i did cm-10-20121105-NIGHTLY-p930.zip - works great!
I have a p930 with at&t permanent locked network, I discovered too that the baseband of the korean version is unlocked, I made a thread about this but nobody commented or cared i think lol, you can install any rom you want but remove the baseband of the rom before install.

Ok I have a similar problem with an at&t Lp 930, did the unbrick guide to sim unlock with the korean baseband. While in the koream ROM sim was succesfully unlocked. But after following the guide, flashing to AT&T Gingerbread and installing ClockWork Mod, I flashed it to HO!NO! AT&T ICS CWM Flashable ROM once in ICS, I lost Sim Unlock and was back to: Network Locked on Phone.
So what your saying is to basically only flash the system.img after the korean ROM is on the phone and ignore the other images, then after flash to desired ROM with CWM?
And if so, if I flashed to HO!NO! At&t flash, would I still have Locked Network?
Thank You

replace everything but the baseband, that is how I did
I am confused and looking for some help. I have a SGH-i747 ATT S3 which I rooted before when I was on ATT. I currently unlocked it and then decided to change my rom. Being that I was not on TMO network I downloaded a TMO rom however once it was done I got a no sim error. In this situation is best to continue using ATT roms? I am going to unroot back to ATT and see if that clears the problem. What is recommended in my situation?

I unrooted it and flashed the stock ATT rom back to it and it came back to life thank goodness. just an FYI.
Can I flash a rogers e971 modem on my unlocked e973? Not sure if the hardware is different (don't want a brick). I just thought signal may be better if I did this
Yup.
Hi Crixley, Everyone,
I have an E973 which was originally a Bell phone. I installed the stock 4.4.2 months ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771440) and it worked great. However, today I wanted to give the phone to my brother, so put in his Rogers SIM in the phone, it just says "Searching for Network" and never connections - it detects the network in the "Search Network" options, but says "No Service" if I select Rogers (or any of the other networks). If I put my Bell SIM in, it works immediately and if I put my Rogers SIM in a Xperia X1 or my Nexus 5 it also works right away.
Does anyone have any ideas? I factory reset and wiped the phone to try to resolve it but its made no difference. I also tried installing the E971 modem based on this thread, but also no change to the errors (though my Bell SIM still works fine after the flash).
What it says above suggests it should work - I do not need LTE, just basic phone call/texting service.
Thanks a lot,
Peter
Hello,
Yesterday I updated my unlocked bell i747m S3 to 4.3.
I used it on rogers before with no issues regarding LTE connectivity.
However I did a factory reset on the phone before the upgrade, and after the upgrade I cannot find the LTE/HSPA setting instead I see LTE/WCDMA/GSM settings.
This phone was never rooted and I just updated through Samsung keys. Does anyone know a fix to this problem?
Thank You in advance,
Stas
Have you rang your carrier? This could be an issue with your APN settings.
Hi Guys,
Quick question my SM-J327W (2017) operating on TELUS (CANADA) took a swim yesterday. Popped the battery and dropped the phone in a bag of Rice... not showing any signs of resurrection as of yet.
In the mean time I swapped my SD and SIM CARD to my mom's old SM-J327W (2017) (BELL CANADA). It operates fine with my Telus sim card I factory data resetted it and everything is "fine".
There's "One option" I don't have anymore and its WIFI CALLING. Telus supported it on the J327W but it seems BELL did not until the 2018 version. On my telus J3 I needed this option on my worksite where we have WIFI but no Signal.
I looked for the TELUS (TLS) stock firmware online and flashed it via ODIN 3.14. Everything went fine but when the phone booted, it still does not have the option and the "MY BELL" and stock Bell apps are still there. Is there some way to make this phone "TELUS", did I make a mistake in my flash, it almost looks like all it did was Factory Data Reset it.
The firmware I found doesn't specify the carrier/operator on the file names, there's no BMC or TLS so I don't know how the phone managed to get the BELL APPS back if the firmware I flashed didn't have them,
Thanks ahead for your help.
Anyone have a tip or idea?
Thanks
