Help. I have an unlocked ls990, I am with MetroPCS and I have a metropcs sim card in the phone. On every single rom I've tried I cannot get any service at all. All of them say "no sim card detected" and when I look in the settings, it says I'm connected to Sprint. I get a "1x signal" and cannot make any calls ot texts. I can't seem to find any info anywhere about my problem
I first tried the *#*#DATA#*#* and tried to switch to LTE/GSM it said "searching for service" for a second but it just reset itself back to LTE/CDMA (PRL)
I then tried to look for APN settings. There was no option to select it. It wasn't even in the menu.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?
Bump.
Really need help
I'm having the same problem right now. Can't get fix either!!!
Those Lollipop ROMs are aosp?
Sprint has not released Lollipop for G3
I fixed my device... I used CloudyG3, works like ah charm.
I have the G3 Sprint version LS990 with the same problem. did you flash baseband? which one?
Thanks
Just curious. Maybe a noob question, but what would flashing a different baseband do?
How can we enable GSM on aosp roms for LS990?. There are very nice roms here but not GSM. it just keeps switching between gsm and cdma.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I didn't want to make a new one with this already here.
I'm having the same issue. I have a Sprint ls990 but I rooted and went to Straight Talk. It was a pain, but I finally got it working on GSM for the last 10 months, so I know it's possible. I've been running CloudyG3. I have been having issues with the internal memory and I wanted to update to Lollipop anyway so yesterday I tried flashing new roms (I've tried BlissPop and OctOS). I'm not getting any service. I wrote down my old APN settings and tried them with no luck, and got a different set of APN settings from Straight Talk (not sure why there would be 2 different settings?) but no luck with them either.
I tried starting from scratch so last night I wiped everything, formatted the memory, and installed my nandroid that I took before I started all of this. Today all I've done is flash BlissPop and Gapps, still no service.
If anybody could offer any help I'd greatly appreciate it. I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous.
Edit: I wanted to update this in case there's anybody else having the same issue. I flashed Dirty Unicorns version 9.1 and my service came back. The only thing I can think of is that that rom is compatible with the Sprint ls990 and being unlocked for GSM. I'm sure there's somebody that knows more about it that can explain it better.

OK, so I flashed JB (yakjuux to takju) few days ago and now, my service (Koodo) can't connect to it for some reason. I don't know why, but I need a fix right now. So what I was thinking of was to flash radio that works with yakjuux (or something like that) and hope to God that that's gonna solve the problem.
I tried this SIM card on Nexus S (ICS) and that worked... I tried different SIM (Wind and Rogers) and that didn't read either. I am pretty sure that it's either hardware problem or radio problem. So my first attempt is to flash back to older radio or something that's more compatible with Canadian radio. Can anyone give me link to it?
Also can anyone tell me the problem of this? I did drop my phone before signal going all weird, so that might have been the problem... Any thoughts? I need it ASAP. Thanks in advance
Also just to let you know, when I go to Service Provider settings, Koodo does pop up, but it doesn't let me actually connect to it. It fails every single time...
Hey!
I'm having weird problems with my GNex. At random intervals it disconnets from the network and asks me for sim pin number. I've flashed 2 different custom roms (i'm on liquid beta 1 currently), tried sim cards from 2 different operators and no difference. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?
I've googled and searched the forums and found an old thread relating to this on an HTC desire, but no solution there.
Pls help and ty
Hey,
This won't help you too much but I had the same issue with the last ROM I used, I've since switched to [ROM] Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Deodexed/Odexed, Rooted, Unsecured Boot [Factory Image] made by teshxx and the issue has gone away.
Maybe give that one a go.
Cheers
Ty for help, but i think i've figured out the problem and have only myself to blame...
As I forgot to flash a new radio and RIL, the old one was apparently not quite compatible with the new version of android. Everytime the signal strength went down it disconnected from the network and asked to unlock sim. The latest radio and coresponding RIL fixed this (at least for now).
Ty for ur help
My WIFI toggle wasn't working, so rather than troubleshoot the issue, I simply went back to stock, well, in that process my MIN and MDN got reset to Sprint! I was already on Cricket and the ESN is in their network. Any help or suggestions? I can't find a G2 flash guide ANYWHERE, and this was flashed before by a friend.
How did you get it back to Sprint? I'm having the exact opposite problem. I was on cricket and I'm trying to get back to Sprint. They said it couldn't be done.

I accepted an OTA update. If you're already up to date, I dunno. Whoever flashed your phone should have made a backup of all the info, if not, I'm not really sure how else, as I don't believe a TOT restore will restore NAM and all those other settings. My G2 is on the new cricket now, the GSM Cricket, so I just flashed a GSM ROM to it and the SIM card slot works now.
I have recently acquired a Sprint SGS3 SPH-L710. It was still original stock at 4.4.2, never rooted. i flashed the n2j stock rom through odin, and then I had it flashed from Sprint to PagePlus and it is working okay (still need to get 3g going) Then used cm-autoroot and installed twrp (debating on installing philz). Now the phone is ready for some rom action.
My question is since this phone is a d2spr, but flashed to PagePlus (Verizon), would it be safe or better to install a d2vzn rom vs d2spr rom?
From my research, there are settings in the roms that are molded to a specific carrier. If I am on Verizon, I do not want to install and have Sprint related settings (buildprop?) and apps, etc. Then flashing a Sprint SGS3 to Pageplus vs a Verizon SGS3, Sprint must be set to NV only, and other posts and forums (on xda and howards), I have read said this nv setting could be changed when flashing a rom, which would break the PagePlus flash. But if I install a d2vzw rom, everything else would be molded to Verizon, which is great since I am using a Verizon network. I suppose it depends on how much molding is being done and what exactly. Then of course, I do not want to brick the device flashing the wrong version. If the roms were only listed as d2lte, I wouldnt mind as much, but I have noticed some roms do have a Sprint version and a Verizon version, but I can not locate the details to compare the differences.

I would still stick with what your phone is if d2spr flash the d2spr here is a thread that looks like some stuff you will want to try prl apns mms
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...te-3-page-plus-selectel-flashing-real-3g.html
Flashing a d2vzw build will not trick the phone to think it is a vzw phone just more chances of you ending up with a brick.

I am now having a problem updating the APN in any 5.x rom, says not enough permissions. I tried a handful of APN apps on Google play, made them system apps, etc. it never saves or changes the apn settings. I can change and save APN in KK roms just fine though.
Did you try on WiFi it could be cause not picking up data connection
This is why I stopped flashing cdma phones to alternate carriers I had a epic4g on cricket pita if I didn't have the apn fix

I hear you and agree 100% with flashing to alternate carriers. I would not normally do this myself, but considering I got this cell for free a couple weeks ago, I figured I might as well deal with the hassle and make the best of it.
The only problem is that I still haven't found a 100% fix. I been flashing 4.4.x roms and 5.1.1 roms trying various APN settings, apps, changes, tips, etc. Nothing seems to stick or crash when attempting to change it. Trust me I been digging all over Google, XDA, and other various droid forums.
My carrier is PagePlus/vzw, and I can not find a PagePlus APN flashable file, hmm maybe I can come across a generic Vzw one, otherwise I know the settings to put in to create a new one though. This is why I was inquirying on flashing a Verizon S3 rom in the first place. Hopefully I can come across something soon.
When I get off work I'll try to help you out

Ive done a lot of reading in regards to this. almost every place I read says other roms should flash on device not of those carriers. reason im investigating this is because CM for sprint has all the sms issues. and after reading through all the tmo roms im not seeing anyone mention sms issues. every time I try to flash another carriers rom it reads that they are carrier specific and fail. is there a way I can make another carriers rom flash to sprint. my device is unlocked, though im using a sprint sim for lte and from what im reading also, its just a matter of an apn setting for sprint, and/or a radio flash for sprint. anyways, comments?

I wouldn't flash another carriers roms. it can make your phone brick and just a paper weight. other carriers have different settings and files that our phone doesn't..i don't know how to explain it better but I don't recommend it

That is kind of unfortunate if that's the case that SMS doesn't work right out of the gate on Sprint CM ROM's then. While I have gotten used to it, it does get annoying after a while having to reconfigure using the *#*#4636#*#* method every time.
I have tried to flash a few other carrier based ROMs via TWRP but they typically fail anyways (which is probably a good thing). I don't think I've ever actually successfully flashed another carrier based ROM through TWRP.

You can't just flash a tmobile rom on this device. It sounds like to me you need to get your phone unlocked to use tmobile sim. I would suggest http://www.idoneapps.com to sim unlock your phone.
I have no idea what you mean by password screen. What firmware are you on? How did you root your phone? Did you turn off reactivation lock?
I can try to help you but i need to know more detail of your problem. And do understand I'm limited on time i spend here. I'll check back when i can.
