LTE or WiFi? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have just bought Nexus 7 (2013) wifi. How do I check which model it is?
In build.prop it says:
ro.product.model=Nexus 7
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=razorg
ro.product.device=deb
ro.product.board=deb
From what I read on other websites it should be LTE however the device itself looks like wifi-only version....
Any suggestions?

Hi,
deb/razorg is the LTE Version, and flo/razor is the wifi only version.
You can see if it's an LTE version by the presence of the SIM-Tray and if the bootloader shows
Code:
PRODUCT NAME - deb
VARIANT - deb 32G
(....)
BASEBAND VERSION - DEB-GOO_2.xxx (replace by baseband version)
And remember that : The LTE version exist only in 32 gb flavor.
If it's an Wifi only version, you probably flashed an ROM for the deb version
I hope it helped you

Thanks! It's a brand new device. So it looks like I got WiFi model with lte firmware

Your system is saying deb and the bootloader is saying flo right ?
If it's causing problems, flash stock flo/razor which can be found here : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=FR#razor

I have the same issue. Have you restored to the proper firmware? Can you do that with locked bootloader?

How much did you pay for it? $269 or $349 (play store prices).

I think it's possible even with the bootloader locked.
You need to have your bootoader unlocked to install unsigned customs rom.
flo and deb original restore files are both signed.
But i never tested to flash stock flo on my deb, so i can't be sure.
It's just suppositions.

Thanks! You give me hope! I will update as soon as I try!
I tried. There is no way to fastboot factory image with locked bootloader.

No, that is not normal. If you are running a stock ROM with the phone unlocked I think you will still get OTA updates. 4.0.2 seems to not have been pushed to all phone just yet. You can also just manually update to 4.0.2.
Shouldn't come unlocked. Take it back.

In Australia I believe at least 1 carrier (vodaphone) have delivered unlocked..

That makes sense, because mine it's also sim locked to vodafone.

there have been reports of others walking out with unopened gnex's that were unlocked. just a lazy oversight.
Might be an engineering phone. That's why I say take it back.

It is sounding to me like there may be some confusion between an Unlocked SIM versus an Unlocked Bootloader. Are we sure the OP isn't referring to the device being SIM Unlocked, which to my knowledge is true for the majority of Galaxy Nexus and for that matter Nexus devices in general? I can't name a device that i've seen with an Unlocked Bootloader from factory. Am I just straigt up wrong here?

There is no confusion, unlock bootloader for sure....used to have a nexus s, same lock animation on startup.

Why would he take it back? If he does have an engineering bootloader, it could help all of us. (I've been searching for an engineering bootloader.)
@OP, could you tell us the version of your bootloader?
Thanks.
Bootloader version: PRIMEKJ10

Thanks. That's not an engineering bootloader, it is a shipping bootloader.

Actually there are many reports of people walking out of a store (whether GSM or VZW nexus) and having an unlocked bootloader from the factory. They're not engineering/development OS, either. Just some people got lucky.

How is it lucky? It takes all of 10 seconds to unlock your bootloader.
I received mine from Sweden, it was on ICS 4.0.1 with locked bootloader. Phone seemed horrible in battery life - 6-7 hours of use. Now with OpenKang 4.0.3 b11 and franco kernel 7.1 it exceeded my expectations - this device rocks!
"fastboot oem unlock". Why lucky?

Do you already own the device? If so why don't you try flashing it and see if it does work?

Does "baseband" mean "radio"? if so, can you please specify which version of radio you actually using?
Thanks a lot!

It is a play store unlocked version or carrier locked? If the sim correctly inserted or does the sim work in another device

its unlocked, it reads any sim just don't connect to the network, the sim is working good on another phone....

It appears that the M may be a slightly different variant then the normal I9250. Possibly SIM locked to Bell. But here's some threads to try with your exact issue:

Can you see your baseband in the About Phone screen?
What about your IMEI? Does it match with the one on the label behind your battery?

Check the service menu *#*#4636#*#*
Make sure that it is set to wcdma preferred and radio band is automatic and not set to some other country.

update.... I found a way to get it connected... look for gsm signals, and when it founds all networks, open test menu *#*#4636#*#* turn off radio, turn it on again and quickly tap the network to connect and it register succesfully on the network..... this is very weird, it could be hardware problems....

Unified Toolkit problem

Here is the problem I am having with the Toolkit.
I have the T-Mobile version but I do not see the correct option in the toolkit for my model.
I have Android 4.1.2 and build number JZO54K. Neither build number for T-Mobile matches mine. Also, both T-Mobile versions in the Toolkit say they are for version number 4.1.1
I did do a warranty exchange about 3 months ago with T-Mobile. Is it possible they sent me a international version instead?

No voicemail notification

Hi,
Carrier : Rogers Canada.
Rom tried : pure Kat and slimbean 6.2
Problem : Voicemail indicator ( at the top bar) doesn't appear when I receive a voicemail. I dont receive sms.
Observation :Works on iphone (rogers) and a LG optimus 3D rooted custom rom (at&t).
APN setting are the same for 3 phones.
VM number are the same for 3 phones.
How can I get VM notifications on the DZ?
Thank you
Strange, does this happen on sense ROMs too?

well, I never tried. Its my next step I guess.
It might be caused by the radio?
Those would be my testing steps, return to stock or try another sense ROM and try some other radios, its doubtful the sim is at fault here but sometimes getting a new one from carrier (which is free) can help

Well, I used the same sim for testing on other devices, and it worked.
I can't say if it ever worked when the phone was new, because I've changed the carrier.
thanks for your help.
