My friend brought an original refurbish Samsung N910v android version 5.01 which was working with GSM 2G if not 3G until when I tried to update to new version android v6.0.1. In the menu>setting>about when I checked first before anything it showed me N910 F v5.01 but in boot mode Odin it was N910v.The problem started when I just typed *#9090# the phone immediately started reboot loop. I have managed to unlock the boot loader and root the phone installed custom rom version 6.0.1 by Paul Pizz rom VRU2CPJ2.r-1 but still can not have 2G or 3G GSM network. Please help to revive the phone again whether it meant to go back to 5.0.1 that would work with gsm cause am full stack now.
Have you checked to ensure you have the APN information in place? I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910V now (just got it a few days ago) and when I put my T-Mobile SIM in it from the very first time I have to manually put in the APN data - on custom ROMs it's usually picked up and there automagically but not always so, my suggestion is that you check to make sure your APN information is currently there as it should be.
Settings - More - Cellular networks - Access Point Names - make sure the one you need to be using is selected and if it's not then you'll have to put that info in manually and save it.
As for the actual model number, take the battery out and see what the model number is on the sticker in the battery compartment area - if the sticker isn't there then it could be a device that someone has done some experimenting with because that info can be changed. The sticker should be there, of course, but sometimes people take 'em out when they're mucking around with stuff, who knows.
Initially the phone is from Verizon but was working on 2G ,3G GSM network with N910F firmware version 5.0.1.it was working on airtel network until when I wanted to update. May I have the Apn settings,please

The APN will be your network. Are trying to use Verizon? If so, you should have a spot to tic the VZWINTERNET. If not, then you have a sim card issue.
ziggy the how do i sort out the sim card issue ,Since phone says this sim card is not from verizon

Is the sim from verizon? If you have a good account go to a corporate store and have them give you a new one. It's free.
Also, what are your APN settings and I will compare to mine. Everything works on mine.
the fone I have came from china ,am in Africa and remember I told you it was working woth N910f firmware version 5.0.1.All am asking is there anyway I could make this fone work again on Gsm network, cause all it says after re flash is the card is not from verizon
I now rooted this n910v android version 5.1.1 still no network, am in Africa where there is 2G&3G GSM network, how would I make this fone to work again with the gsm network now that I rooted. On the network bar I get a circle with a cross ,how to make this work

- N910VVRU2CPJ2_FullFirmware_NoAboot<--- Full Framework with no aboot so you will not re-lock bootloader, but will unroot and restore back to 100% stock. once your on the full stock check if your connections are working fine, if they are then install custom rom, otherwise change the sim card
go in settings, connections and select network mode to global, should be fine

I finally got my internet sharing and MMS working on my unlocked Rogers Lumia 900 running on Bell. Earlier this week, I came across this page. http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900/197920.htm. If you follow his instructions (minus the unplugging the cable during the rom flashing), you should have working internet sharing and MMS without having to input any APN settings. The first time I started it with the TelCel rom, I still had to input my APN to get data to work. Then I performed a hard reset by holding volume down, power, and camera buttons. After that, it picked up the correct settings from the sim card and everything works as it's supposed to. The only downside to some people is that now instead of showing "LTE" in the status bar, it shows "4G" and instead of "4G" when you are on the HSPA network, it shows an "H". I think this is a truer representation of the network you are on anyways since HSPA isn't a true 4G network like the American companies would have us believe.
Please note that if you are going to do this, you will lose any unsynced data on your phone and will also have to reinstall all your apps so backup what you need to.

Seems interesting. I will wait for the 7.8 version to come out. I wouldn't want my phone to be stuck at 7.5 for some reason after trying this.

If for some reason it doesn't update to 7.8, you could always just flash the stock Rogers rom back to your phone and then get 7.8.

Have no problem with 4G, sharing and MMS on original AT&T firmware (using my lum with Europe operators).
Could it be a SIM card flag that prevents the sharing, the euro ops SIMS dont have it

May be, may be... But I had problem too with this features, when it worked on a 1st firmware (flashed by AT&T, not by me). Then I decided to flash it on my own via Care Suite (had flashed the earliest firmware, then updated via Zune). Now it works without any problems. After flashing try to not use the Nokia's Network Setup. If sharing would be OK, you could install NNS on your choice
It works for me after doing a hard reset with t) mobile, if I run NetworkSetup then it stops working. If I insert my att sim then it also stops working.

One more datapoint...
Recently unlocked, using Taiwan Cellular unable to tether.
Before installing Network Setup receive message: no data connection found...
After installing Network Setup, "to enable tethering on this device, go to att.com...".
Same SIM card in HD7 allows internet sharing... no problem. So it's not the SIM.
On HD7, data connection shows "H" but on Lum900 showing "4G"... (not a problem, just observation)
Have hard reset with Taiwan SIM, no joy. Reflashed using Nokia Care Suite... same results.
1. It's clear, stay away from Network Settings app. Even overriding APN settings results in same bogus ATT message.
Any point in flashing a pre-8779 rom? One of the TelCel MX or Claro LTE roms?
To flash another RM808 carrier's rom on top of an ATT RM808 device, is it a straight flash with NCS or need to rename files?

I got Verizon Note 4.
Verified that it is unlocked. Not stolen. No contract binded from Verizon store and through phone (Clean phone)
Android Version : 5.0.1
Location: Las Vegas
Insert AT&T sim card. No signal.
Change APN setting following the information on AT&T website. Still not working. No signal.
At&t store rep. said I need to l unlock the phone ( I already check with Verizon via phone and store)
Verizon rep. on phone said: I should be able to use the phone with At&t sim card
Verizon Rep. in store said : Galaxy note 4 won't work on AT&T. It needs to be rooted by an expert. Only Galaxy S5 or later version will work.
I searched websites and many say that they are using Verizon Note 4 on AT&T network (At&t sim card)
I just need to use phone and text message. No data needed.
Anybody can help me?
I was able to use SIM from AT&T before yesterday, but after trying to update the firmware using Software Upgrade Assistant tool on Windows 10, it's now stuck at 'searching for service'.
Did you change the network settings from global to lte/GSM?
I am reading this. Maybe a solution.
Did you try to insert a different carrier sim card and entering the unlock code?
---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
After reading post i see you have a att sim sim on verizon phone. This could be a problem as verizon and att dont play nice. Stupid question is did you actually pay for service?

Yeah. Me either.
Did you do a factory reset after software update. Usually helps. Also mess with APN settings. Reboot after changing APN.
Problem solved.
Changing APN settings and reboot did not work. I just inserted the Verizon SIM came with the phone and made a phone call. Of course it's not activated, so I hang up when it reached Verizon automated system. Guess what, now SIM from Lycomobile works. H2O Wireless SIM also works. It means that it now can work with AT&T and T-Mobile network.

I'm in a similar boat as you (4.4.4 on Cricket Wireless, wanting to upgrade to 5.1.1). I just want to make sure I understand what you did to restore service:
1. You had phone working on AT&T with an older Android version (KK?)
2. You upgraded to a newer version via the Verizon upgrade tool (I assume 5.0.1 since 5.1.1 is not yet available via the tool)
3. You lost AT&T service after upgrade
4. You were able to restore AT&T service by using an inactive Verizon SIM and making a phone call
Is this correct? TIA

Mostly, except that I tried to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, but found that 5.1.1 was not yet available via the tool, but the process of installing the software on windows 10 and maybe I also used the Verizon SIM during the process which might have messed something up. I updated the firmware to 5.1.1 by downloading the zip file in a thread here and flashed it through recovery. The network connection problem was then solved by making a phone call with the SIM came with the phone.

I just updated via the Verizon tool (BPA1 finally showed up) and it was, surprisingly, perfectly fine. I first backed up as much as I can (via Smart Switch and Helium app), then pulled my mSD card, left my SIM card in the phone, and proceeded to update. After the first boot stuff (app optimization, etc.) I soon saw the AT&T sign in the notification bar, and I was able to make a phone call without doing anything else. With all the reports of SIM card locking after updating I was worried that I might run into the same issue, but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't. I had to re-enter the APN setting as the upgrade seemed to have removed it, but after re-adding Cricket's APN I was able to get cellular data as well.
Thanks again for your help
You need to access the hidden menu and change your radio and modem protocols. There's a forum on XDA called domestic and internation sim or network unlock for spring but should work the same on verizon
fyi, i got my note 4 working on gsm using 2 different freedompop sims-the at&t lte sim gets lte via band 4.
the global sim based on t-mobile did get hpsda+
just change the apn
Good morning, I am running the latest Lineage 14.1 rom (14.1-20171204-Nightly-d2att) on the Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) phone, this phone is rooted, running the latest TWRP (3.2.1.0) and the I747UCUFNJ2 baseband on this device, this device is fully rooted, and is SIM unlocked for use with any carrier, my carrier is T-Mobile.
Ever since installing this rom, and any roms higher than android 6.0 (I've ran CM 12, CM 12.1, CM 13, SlimKat, and AOSP roms), everything works perfectly except for my cellular data will not go higher than Edge (2G) and my complete cell connection will randomly disconnect for a few seconds then reconnect itself.
I've tried everything from changing the APN settings specified by T-Mobile for LTE connectivity, I've gotten a replacement SIM from T-Mobile, I'm lost at this point as to what the issue could be. According to T-Mobile I do have the BYOD option so unlike some carriers, the SIM is not supposed to be locked to a specific IMEI.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the issue and/or a solution to this? Is there a higher baseband that needs to be loaded to fix this that I'm not aware of?
Thanks for your help everyone.
The phone is also running the latest bootloader?
Yes it is.
I assume the cellular data works properly with a stock ROM.
Does the cellular data work with the sim in another phone? Cellular data works with another sim card in the s3?

You might be able to disable that message if you google it hard enough.
Try this first.

there also might be a way to disable it from titanium backup if you are rooted.

Did you set the APN information correctly?
Also are you using the N975U1 firmware or the standard AT&T firmware?
Are you using the BYOD sim card from straight talk?
What have you done over the phone with Straight Talk as far as troubleshooting? - this one can be important. If the phone isn't working with straight talk only it maybe a configuration (apn setting) or provisioning issue.
Are you sure the device is compatible with the area or region your in?
What provider/tower (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) does straight talk have you going through?
More information on what you have done to setup the phone for straight talk, troubleshooting steps you have taken, what information straight talk may have provided (etc. etc.) will help others be able to help you. Providing little or no details makes it rather hard to offer any help.
The apn won't let me put dun in the type I sim unlocked it with a puk code and got strighttalk byop I tried flashing the U1 firmware to it wouldn't take it so I did a Verizon firmware thinking that might help and same thing with the striaght talk it doesn't wanna work i put a Verizon sim in it and it works just like it did on ATT so I'm confused as to why the straight talk sim won't work they can't figure it out on their end either
I factory reset the phone reset network settings did just about everything I could with the phone besides it being funny about the apn cuz it says apn cannot be changed on this device if you put dun in the apn type i dunno the only thing I notice is when the Verizon sim card is in the phone the network mode is set to global whereas with the striaght talk its LTE/CDMA and it won't let you change it to global

Straight Talk uses different mobile providers to offer service different areas.. They utilize Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile (Sprint and T-Mobile have merged recently, but Sprint towers are still active).
I have seen posts across the internet that indicate you should be using the U1 firmware on the phone.. I would make sure your converting the phone to the U1 firmware properly.
If I recall correctly (this is how I did it previously) when flashing the U1 firmware make sure your doing it without the sim card installed and using the non home_csc file. Factory data reset the phone after you successfully flash the U1 firmware and then insert the sim card after setting the phone back up (so it can apply the new sim/network settings).
I would strongly suggest you do not restore a backup during initial setup when you do this. If you restore a backup it may restore previous network settings/configurations that were for what you had previously.
If flashing U1 firmware doesn't help (and since this this is a Straight Talk specific issue) then it's more then likely on the end of Straight Talk. I would call them and make sure that your sim card is the correct one for the cell towers they have you going through and the phone you have. Using an incompatible sim card (or one that is faulty) can cause issues like this. You can also have them send you another sim card to try.
Also contact them to make sure the service is properly provisioned and activated on your phone. Double check the APN with them, and see if they have an alternative one to try. It is also possible that a service outage maybe (or issue with Straight Talk internally) in your area, so I would call them to make sure that neither are not the case here.

The Global setting doesn't really matter in this case and your phone will be set to use the towers that Straight Talk has you going through.
The only thing that I can think of that would be a problem with network mode is if your sim card from straight talk is meant for a different provider then the towers they use in your area (i.e. sim card is for AT&T but the provider they have for the area is Sprint).
the straight Talk sim works in other phones no problem a s8 and a older note im thinking att has something in the software to block other apns i dunno i unlocked it with a PUK code and flashed verizon firmware on it thinking i could get passed it but the verizon sim works 100% and the att sim works 100% too but a straighttalk sim card (verizon) towers the phone tries it shows 4g and disappears and then it shows it has service but cant call it just says emergency calls only

I would not use older phones as a means to say the sim card is good. Besides that's irrelevant to what is going on with the Note 10+

Then this means one of two things... Either you didn't get the phone unlocked or else you did not convert to another carrier (or the U1 firmware XAA region) correctly.
If your using the unlocked firmware (U1 XAA region) then you should be able to edit the APN. If not then you should be able to create one.

That sounds like either the sim card isn't good, the phone was not activated/provisioned properly in there systems (call them and double check IMEI and model information), the phone is not compatible with the service they offer in your area (I suggest using the XAA region U1 firmware in this case) or else your phone is not fully unlocked.
I would also suggest google searching or else asking them for any updated or alternative APN's to try. It maybe very likely the one you have is not suitable for the phone/area... It wouldn't be the first time I have had an issue similar to this like this.
I am opt to believe the first 3 are the most likely scenarios since the phone works on Verzion with the sim card per your indication.
Yeah and the only reason I tried the older phone is to see if the sim card is activate with the number and the phone itself pulled the apn from network when I tried to flash to U1 the phone gave me a error but it took the Verizon firmware for the 975U but its still not working do you know of a good link for the firmware your talking about so I can try that

From personal experience I would advise in the future you don't do that. When you activate the phone you should activate the one you are using and definitely do not use an older phone to activate a newer phone. I have had many problems with this in the past as provisioning for an older phone didn't always work for my newer ones..

I waited for you to give more information on the issue, but you didn't. So I am sorry, but if you don't provide the details of what is going on it makes helping you very difficult. You didn't say what error you are getting, what the firmware version(s) are of what your trying to flash and what is currently on the phone.
Here's the last piece of help I can offer now.
I can tell you that the following can be found on the forum by searching:
Links and how to obtain the firmware - Multiple threads asking the same question exist here. Also Frija, SamFirm, SamMobile are just a few examples of what can be found referenced here.
Bootloader version(s) - what will happen when you try to downgrade and what will happen (along with a important thing) when you upgrade.
Websites to find firmware - SamMobile and some others have been mentioned.
Patched Odin - In case you need the latest version it has been mentioned here already.
I can also tell you that by using Google and searching for SM-975U1 XAA on Sammobile does in fact work.
