Ive been looking around the roms on the sprint section to find another stock rom that is already GSM unlocked so it can be used on t-mobile, like the Cyanogen11 one but cant find a definitive answer while reading through the roms and change logs of the roms. i know this might be a stupid anwsers and sorry if it is, but im not used to dealing with sprint phones and the TC method never worked for me when i have tried to do it and i have done it. any suggestios. thank you in advance.
I think for now it's a test it and keep a list of what works or if you try some post your results here I'm sure we are not the only two wondering this. cm11 works good great data speed for me on att but would also like a stock option.

The TC method never worked for US carriers. Have you tried the build.prop edit method? Should not be dependent on the rom. For a stock rom I find OpTimuS DE excellent. I used it previously with the build.prop unlock and now with the permanent unlock (but I'm in Canada).

Use rom toolbox (or similar) to edit your build.prop... ***case sensitive!!!!***
ro.build.target_operator = SPR
reboot
ro.build.target_operator = OPEN
reboot, then
ro.build.target_operator = spr
reboot
The last one (spr) is done because you will get system UI crashes if you leave it as OPEN.

Blah, that didn't work, even with the sprint Sim. When I use the LG tool to go back to stock on picks up some service with the sprint Sim.

I don't follow. Why would you have a Sprint sim in the phone?? If you do this with a Sprint sim in the phone you will lose data. If you flash a rom or back to stock, you have to edit the build.prop again to activate gsm.

Haha sorry I didn't mean to make that confusing. But it didn't work with the T-Mobile Sim either. The only time I have been able to get any type of service bars instead of a red x over it is when I put the sprint Sim in and go back to bare stock
Actually now when I put my T-Mobile Sim back in, it shows all the service bars Grey but can't choose and operator or send a text.

You can use the app Tweakker to enter your APN settings.
the phone wants to resort back to cdma for phone service, grab an app called telinfo from the play store and use it to set your phone to GSM (auto PRL), then set your APN to get data working, best of luck!
Hi everyone, so here it go's, ive been working with android devices all the way from my first android device(phone) the THE FAMOUS DROID X, since then on to a Motorola Xoom, Been theming and messing about with Linux OS's.
I purchased a Sprint LG G2 not really looking into the device because ive always depended on XDA and its entire community to come out with a hot fix, anyways I have Cricket Service and didnt realize the SIM had to be unlocked to work on other SIM cards, Since the stock ROM wouldnt let me on the Cricket Nework I downloaded and installed CM11, after installing messing around with Mobile Settings and such I got the Text (not mms) and Talk working however without data, so i knew the APNs werent working correctly, to make this short, I took the APNs from my moms Galaxy s4 (sold by Cricket) so the 4g worked on her phone, the attached files i put in the system/etc folder after that went into the settings networks selected 3g, and then added APN now when entering APN (access point names) i just entered in name and apn and saved it, then went back in and edited the rest and here are the screen shots

are you using a cricket sim card? or any sim card for that matter?
i am having trouble getting internet 3g to stick with my ls980 flashed to cricket.
Yes 60 bucks and even after the cricket sales guy said I'll never be able to get my LG on the cricket network I still proceeded to register the phone and paid the 60 bucks also I made a new post in general discussion I figured out the APN to get your stock messenger to send and recieve mms so my LG g2 is fully working

If your on a stock sprint zvc or latest kitkit i was unsuccessful get the apn to stick thats why i have the t mobile port rom also i installed the port from cloudyg3 which is the g3 rom and i successfully installed and configured apn with mms and data i would hightly recommend removing the ls980 sprint rom and install a t moble port or the new cloudyg3 rom these u can set the apns and they will work

I was told by cricket (this was yesterday not when i first bought the SIM) i didnt need the SIM however i believe that would make it more difficult for flashing meaning diag mode plus cdma workshop and manually updating prl ect ect i prefer the SIM never have to worry about flashing roms and re flashing phone or using tot for complete restore SIM holds the network no matter what
guess i am going get a cricket sim card.. the flashing part wasnt bad.. but this sim card is a killer,, i had same problem with droid x i believe.. getting data to work and stick ugh.. thanks for all your help and everything

well the SIM it self only cost 10 bucks but the service and activation was 50 bucks. i think that includes registering the phone as well. i hope everything works out for you,
when i bought the g2 i really didnt know nothing about it, once i bought it and found out it had a LOCKED SIM, i went right to XDA for a quick work around. after configuring the phone and APNs very happy with the results for my g2(ls980)

I dont believe there is a simunlocker out there for sprint all the code unlockers, what ur seeing is for your MSL code, pay 1.99 and youll get the MSL code
sorry for the late response maybe u could help me to id like the sprint rom stock but i haven't figured out a way to get the apns sticking on zvc, however to install a t mobile (ported version for ls980) rom or any other, first root the device, with ioroot25, then install a custom recovery twrp with autorec in the play store, after reboot into recovery use trwp app in the play store, once in recovery go to wipe and wipe system,data (NOT INTERNAL DATA) davik, and cache locate the rom zip, and install, make sure you have the latest firmware installed first which is i believe 4.4.2, zvc. also the devs add a link to the whitelines fix which you will need

i am with you on the stock rom thing.. it has great features.. from what i have read, you have to take an apns-conf.xml file and put it in /system/etc
that is suppose to get the apns to stick, but i havent gotten to test it out yet.. just got home, about to flash back to stock and try out this sim card..
also, there is a sim unlocker that is suppose to unlock all lg g2

i think im gonna reinstall a sprint rom and test it out ive been learning quite a bit about flashing and apns prl's me and my wife are going to run an ad to flash phones to cricket for say 20 bucks but i want more knowledge first i dont wanna be messing up peoples devices lol . Ive ran other roms and there loaded to the T with settings, and ucountless tweaks and from what i have noticed, stock roms run smooth and wont brick the phone, i had a optimous g that had the optimums DE 5 rom and some how my 4 year old son adjusted the cpu clock way way to high before i realized it the phone was smoked lol so i try and use roms that dont have that option to over clock, besides this phone is fast enough without over clocking it

If you MMS does not work, I have found the solution.
It needs to be rooted with a custom rom, I tried factory unlocking it first, which did not solve the issue.
Just a heads up, thanks to the members of Skydragon and the root folks.

hello ladies and gents I bought a note 3 yesterday from some dude thinking I could fix it and get a note 3 on the cheap. I was wrong the problem is hard to fix.
1 It will not register to network
it is not blacklisted or network blocked.
Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.
what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

Have you tried updating the firmware? check the APN on the phone once you insert the sim.
You could try taking it to a T-Mobile store to see if they can get it to register. Sometimes they can activate it when you can't.

Well, that's interesting.
If you go to settings, mobile networks, and search for networks, can you select the network and have it register?
Also double check the apn settings. I borked my hidden apn settings once and couldn't get back on the network until i wiped and reflashed full stock.
If none of that works, try also resetting the nv. Look for my thread on 900t service mode for instructions.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.16 powered stock 4.4.2 SM-N900T
I've already rebuilt the nv build. It's a family mobile sim(tmobile)
Also the apn settings I can try that again haven't changed them since I did a flashed back to stock. I doubt it will change anything usually you can still register.
oh the sim doesn't even have service anymore anyhow. Yesterday was the last day but I don't think that would change being able to register anyway.
Notice that it turns off mobile data when I try to register it may be a clue but I haven't been able to make anything of it.

Hello!
I am currently with Telus and have just unlocked my S3 after purchasing the unlock code. If the phone is on the stock Samsung ROM, I can insert a Wind or Rogers SIM and it works fine. However, on the CM-12.1-20150519-NIGHTLY-d2att ROM, it will _not_ connect to any other network. I tried manually searching for network but it fails with a message like Unable to search networks.
I'm not sure why this is happening or how to troubleshoot this. I would prefer to stick with a Lollipop ROM for now.
The CM d2att wikki page does say that since CM11, we should be using the d2lte version for this phone. So should I be installing the d2lte ROM instead?
Thank you

I installed cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-d2lte and unfortunately you were right. I still can't connect to WIND.
I have another fully stock S3 and I ran the Samsung Phone Info app on both to compare. Under the Firmware tab, the PDA version and CSC version is empty on the phone running CM11. Please see screenshots attached which shows this.
Also, I ran the SIM Toolkit app, tapped Manager Services and it gave me a ME returned a temporary error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to troubleshoot this. To me it does not make any sense that on a unlocked phone, with stock or custom ROM, Telus (this phone was locked to Telus originally) connects just fine. With stock ROM, I can connect to WIND and Rogers but cannot connect to either when running a custom ROM
aaaaaahhhh !!!! @audit13 , hhhhheeeellllpppp !! (please) :what:
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
The case is missing because there is no carrier customization on a custom rom.
It was my understanding that wind uses aws which the s3 does not natively support although there are hacks to enable these frequencies.
I am not sure how it could connect to wind on a stock rom.

Hello Mr audit13! It's not just that I can't connect to WIND when runnning CM11, I also can't connect to Rogers. Does that still mean there is a frequency issue?
Edit: Looking at WINDs website: (http://www.windmobile.ca/my-wind/faq/devices)
"The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz.(Phones compatible with the U.S. T-Mobile network often work with WIND)"
When you load cm11 or cm12, does your phone show the correct imei?
Which stock rom will connect to wind and Rogers?
Which baseband are you using with cm11 and cm12?
Crazy autocorrect on my iPad changed csc to case
autocorrect OFF. lol. ty for coming to help. :thumbup:
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I just did a sanity check. Installed stock ROM and put the WIND SIM in it. It wouldn't connect automatically so I searched for network and it does not show WIND in that list. It only shows WIND Away which is Rogers or Telus I think.
@audit13, you were correct. This phone will not connect to WIND.
I guess I'll just buy a new phone. Nexus 6, here I come!
Anyone in the market for 2 S3's? One is unlocked.
The i747m can connect to wind with a software hack; however, the hack must be applied every time you reboot the phone.
How much for the s3? It's still a great phone.

How much for the s3? It's still a great phone.

I see a couple of S3 on sale on Kijiji for 180. Both phones are in pretty good condition. So I am hoping 180 for the unlocked and 160 for the locked one.
Just wanted to let you know that I bought a refurb s3 from koodo for 90 and a refurb note 2 for 180 from koodo. Both come with a 1 year Samsung warranty. They both looked new. You can't find the phones on their website, you need to call the store and ask for stock. I got these phones with no contract, unlocked them via code, and are being used on Rogers and bell.
Oh, hmm. Well, I guess I will try my luck on Kjiji.
Thanks for all your help.
I've checked out kijiji and craigslist and the prices are similar to your asking price. Many people don't know that Koodo sells refurb phones and it was just a matter if luck for me when I got the phones. They weren't even for me! I've been using an old HTC One X from Rogers for the past 8 months
After reading news that Factory Reset leaves most of the data on the phone (research done at Cambridge University), I am very very hesitant to sell my phones now.

That only applies to the ROMs up to 4.3. Why not just flash 4.4.2 a few times, encrypt, decrypt, re-flash? I'm not positive these steps will make it better but it's the only thing I know of.
