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?

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
I'm a long time LG user. I've used LS990 in an asian GSM network without any issue. but recently I purchased LS990 phone and unlocked it for GSM networks. But, network capability is strange. Sometimes it detects the sim card. most of the time it doesn't.
"Invalid sim card, please enter a valid sim card" Randomly I get above message.
I'hv tried Fulmics, Tekcafe and cloudy 2.5 which I had zero issues in GSM with my previous LS990. (Tried stock rom with sim unlock methods, no luck)
I barely able to get network, but only for minute. Does anyone know what's the issue? Is it something related with Hardware??
Thanks.
as the title suggests, i gotten the lg g3 from a guy off kijiji. He was with virgin mobile its d852. i payed to unlock the network and put my WIND sim in. I unlocked the network when there was no sim card. I put my sim card in but the only available networks i was getting is all away.
i swapped the sim thinking it might be that. no luck. i checked to see if this was blacklisted, it wasnt.
im running on cm13.
could this be because the bands are not activated? IF so, i tried following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059 but it didnt work. i couldnt get the right driver to show up.
Also could it have been impacted by unlocking the network without the sim card in yet?
if someone can help with skype to speed things up for live debugging that would be greatly appreciated. you can add me at [email protected] for skype.
update: so i called wind to see if they can register the phone as on the network and they said they cant put the imei on the account. what does that mean?
Wind needs d852g... Not d852... There is some old threads of people converting the rom and modem to d852g which unlocks the band required for wind.... Search for that, no idea if it works or not tho
Sent from my LG-D852
i had a g3 before and it was d852 and it worked fine...
like i said its d852. i couldnt even flash d852g in.
swapped sim cards with a friend who is also on wind and my g3 couldnt get service but my sim card worked fine on her phone.
another update flashed 852g firmware on my 852 no change. i did so with 852g firmware and 852 dll.
i also flashed 852 tot with 852g dll and still no change in network.
called virgin mobile and they see that the imei is no longer on the account.
this is such a pain does anyone have anything to help??? is there an easy way to view all the bands the phone currently have??
anyone??
Hey guys i'm having some problems with my lg g3 d851, since the screen of my beloved lg g2 died after 2 years and a half, my friend gave me his lg g3 to use it as a tablet since the phone doesnt recognize any signal at all, right now is running the stock rom for android marshmallow, everything works fine except for the signal that either always keeps in "no service", i already try to put another sim card on the phone and its showing the same problem, already checked the IMEI on the swappa blacklist and everything is okay, here are a few screenshots, any thoughts on how to solve this problem would be very appreciated thank you!
Have you modified the APN settings under mobile networks?

hi thanks for replying, yeah i already modified the APN settings under mobile networks with the APN of my carrier that is IUSACELL (AT&T México) and is still showing the same problem "no service" or "searching"
I had the same problem, try installing another modem, or send me an pm, I have the same mobile company (right now I'm having some problems with the at&t mexico)
I am having a similar problem with my d851 30g. It isvnot rooted and running stock android 6.0 tmobile rom. I am with movistar (mexico) it will have signal and be on the network and then eject the sim saying invalid then reset. Did factory reset. Movistar sim worked for about an hour and then same thing. Have a s from telcel switched and no problem till this Morning. Did the same thing and restarted. Recognized the sim and all fine. I am new to this and could use a little help. As it is connecting with the other sim and not my movistar sim. Possible software issue or corrupted sim?
Thanks in advance,
Alex miller
I bought LG Wing from USA T-Mobile variant and it says its permanently unlocked inside T-mobile app but when I put sim card, it says no sim card inserted. It never asks me for pin code so it looks to me it doesnt detect sim or something like that. I tried other sim card aswell but no luck. Any help regarding it?
Only you can if try to find lg wing sd765g firehose .

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem as you. According to T-Mobile the only problem would be a hardware issue
