I gave my sgs3 with to a relative working perfectly I was running wicked 10.1 rooted. I reinstalled the Rom and wiped everything so I would be like new rooted wicked 10.1 he upgraded his SIM card with tmobile and now data does not work. How can I get this working for him? What reason why data not work? I'm confident they gave him the right SIM card.

No idea tbh. First I've heard of a new SIM doing something like that. Maybe they gave him an old one by accident?
Best bet imo is to flash the firmware with Odin and factory reset again. Test while full stock. If its still giving problems then its prob a faulty sim.

They gave him a new SIM he didn't have a smart phone prior. He took the phone in to tmobile and they gave him a smart phone SIM.

I traded a note for a t999 last night, but I was unable to immediately check phone connectivity due to not having a micro sim handy. So today I get a micro sim and call my provider, (simple mobile), and they change my sim number for me.
My card will not register with the network. i get bars that show signal, but phone information shows no service. I have no data even with the corrrect APN. Simple Mobile Tech support says they have registered the SIM but it does not show as connecting.
I went to tmobile and they used one of their sims on the phone, but again, no registration.
The phone is rooted, I can boot it into CWM.
Im thinking that the prior owner messed something up, possibly by changing a radio/modem or something. Im not sure I can even warranty repair it via Samsung because he rooted it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? PLEASE?
Odin back to stock?

Sounds like you have a broken pin in your sim slot. I'd bet money on it. I think there's suppose to be 6 and if 1 breaks this is what happens.

i tried flashing back to stock using Odin, but it makes no difference. flash count shows 2. Does this mean the phone is not covered under samsung warranty?
You can reset the flash counter. I believe the thread is in android development on how to do this.

Call Samsung. Your phone might still have manufacturer warranty.

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

If I unlock my T-mobile phone, can I keep the T-mobile stock rom or do I need to flash it with the AT&T stock rom?
If you are on stock, why dont you just dial *#197328640# to go to phone control menu, then network lock and turn off the network lock. If you do a google search for unlock galaxy s3 xda forum u ll see it.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer
Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

i have a note 3 from atyt and is blacklisted i want to use it with tmobile but i wanna be sure if it will work some one have tried ?
Hey team, I have a problem and hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a T-Mobile Note 2 with Jedi ROM installed. I have just become a Straight Talk customer and cut a Sim card to size and put it in my phone. This is the first SIM to ever be in the phone. When my phone boots up I get an error message saying "Invalid SIM CARD!". The SIM is good as it works in the crappy flip phone Straight Talk sent me.
I go through the steps of entering the Straight Talk APN but when I try to save nothing seems to stick. Help! What am I doing wrong? Since I was on Sprint I never had to deal with SIM cards as this is my first GSM phone ...I feel I am missing something obvious.

Is your Straight Talk SIM an AT&T or T-Mobile one? Is your Note 2 unlocked? (If not, flash it to the original, pre-LTE update T-Mobile ROM and unlock it using instructions posted on here.)
Boy I just left straight talk because of throttling me with my gs3.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Thanks for the replys team. I have not 100% solved it yet but I think I'm on the right trail. It looks as if you buy a phone directly from Straight Talk (which i did just to have a cheap backup) they lock the SIM to that particular phone.
I'm heading to walmart to grab a BYOP SIM...hopefully that is my issue.

My friend got a phone from T-Mobile s3 few weeks ago and unlocked it to use it here in Canada in mobilicity network. But it has like 0 reception it gets reception for few mins than goes to 0 bars. Is it a radio issue or something else? Any help would be greatly Appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure the unlock was successful? Im not sure how it works in Canada but could it be blacklisted?
While it shows signal does it work for calls and data?

Yes unlock was successful and recognize the network. Gets reception you can make call after few mins loses it and goes to 0 it's not blacklisted as it was purchased outright from the retail store. Right now there is no Sim card on phone and it shows 4 bars.
and for some reason this is the newest s3 i think cause usually its t999v this one say t999l

You might need a new sim card. And the T999V is only sold by the Canadian carriers. The T999L is the updated lte model of the original T999.
After unlocking were you able to use a sim from another carrier and have it work with zero issues? If you only tested it on the network you are reporting problems with that is not confirmation of a successful unlock. Try a sim from another carrier and see if it works.
If it is unlocked then it sounds like an old sim card type issue.

just tried my sim card same issue and we tried with 2 other brand new sim card from ssame provider. i just flashed this March 2014 - 4.3 JellyBean - New!
Note: This is based off of the stock image TMO T999LUVUBNC1
Download :: Download - root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.7z through odin thought it might be radio issue but same thing.
her daughter has the same s3 with 4.1.2 and works perfect. can i downgrade through odin to 4.1.2? i think md5 modem might be better.
Unfortunately no. Once you flash 4.3 there is no going back. If its not working with any of the sim cards, try one from another carrier if possible.
Kinda sounds to me like its not unlocked. How did you go about attempting to get it unlocked?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
She will come to pick the phone today I'll ask how did she unlock the phone. But if it wasnt unlocked how does it recognize the Sim? Can you suggest me a modem? But I will ask how she unlock it and let you know. Also when I flash the new 4.3 it didn't erase the call history and also when I reset the phone it doesn't seem like it resets it cause the call history's are still there.

You can only use the 4.3 modems now. When you flash firmware it doesnt erase your data. Not sure why it didnt on a factory reset though, unless its stored on sd.
