I have a T-Mobile branded Motorola Z2 force. I unlocked the boot loader. I unlocked the sim with the T-Mobile app using cellunlocker. I couldn't get it to recognize my cricket sim. Which uses att network. I flashed every stock rom I could find including at&t Nash. Nothing worked until I found US Cellular ROM. It changed the software variant on the about page to usc. Works perfectly, not to mention that the ROM is less bloated than T-Mobiles. Took a month to find the right ROM. But its like this : company of rom makes it Carrier lock to the rom. EXCEPT US CELLULAR ROM.
No more radio off aka stuck in airplane mode because Carrier ROM turned it off. Google name below, that ROM let's you use any sim.
Tried googling saw its not first so here is where I found it and the link.
After unzip it's:
NASH_USC_OPX27.109-40-1_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Or direct down load at
(Jr member can't put http : / / or links)
Google this, first link comes up
Download XT1789-02_NASH_USC_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-40-7_CFC.xml.zip
Page (web site) I found it on was
getdroidtips
Hope this helps.
Also, after I found the rom I rooted ( after ). TWRP and magisk. Working perfectly, not a single issue.
Hope this helps those that where in my shoes, Every post had no real solution. This works.
Good Luck!

Hi guys, I am not new to android, I daily flash my Samsung Nexus via CWM all the time.
However, My dad recently went to india and i believe got his phone unlocked their for Indian sim cards to work.
Now if they flashed a indian rom on the phone as well, How do i flash the native BELL rom? also, How do i unlock this?
I read around one has to download multiloader and find the Bell Flash file, or whatever the stock one is that Bell gives out in Canada.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm new to this area of XDA. Basically I need a Bell stock flash file, and need to network lock his sim card back to Bell again.
Cheers
Ok So from reading around it seems like I should do the following:
-Download Multiloader--- Done
- Download Bell Software from SAMFIRMARE, Im downloading the Firmwares for GT-S8500M - Canada (Bell)? is that right one?
- Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759424 guide to flash my firmware,
and then I should have my dads phone back and on the Bell network right in Canada?
Please give more details so that it is easier to understand you and offer solution.
If I guess right, your dad's phone is Samsung WAVE 8500? And that the phone is completely unlocked now?
If the answer is affirmative, then there is no need to lock it back again to Bell Network. An unlocked phone can be used with any SIM card.
And as the phone was originally of BELL network, just go to Sammobile and download the Canadian firmware for S8500 (WAVE).
Flash your phone with the downloaded firmware and start using it. You don't have to LOCK for it to work with BELL.
The above is only if your dad's phone is WAVE and originally of BELL network. If not, please give more details.
Hey thanks spacks. It was originally from Bell. So if it was flashed to some firmware for india, I will just flash it back to the Bell firmware.
Right now its locked to his India cell phone carrier, So i should probably flash the bell rom to put him back on his original network.
If i run into problems I will post back here, as I am leaving for work now
Edit** If the phone is just locked to the indian carrier, How can i UNLOCK it without flashing a new firmware??
Please read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473089

Ok i tried the first step to flash the boot files BUT now running into a issue, the laptop wont detect the samsung phone anymore, I tried reinstalling and updating drivers and uninstalling them, Can anyone help me? The phone boots up to the "Samsung Wave I8500M" logo screen but freezes...I really need to flash this Bell firmware asap.
Ooooops
This is not going well as expected :S
Go to SamMobile and download the canadian fw available there and flash it
Then try again with the flock to unlock your phone
Best Regards

Hey it's okay! I fixed it the driver was somehow corrupt, so I downloaded Samsung kies, everything is fixed. Flashed the Canadian firmware last night.
However, is there any way to get BADA 2.0 on the Canadian wave?? Any flash files? I can't find anything.....I hate when they delay updates!
Sent from my Nexus S
Hi, and firstly, thanks to any and all who offer their knowledge to assist my conundrum.
I recently purchased a Bell Canada version of the SG Note 2 (i317), I am on Telus so I attempted to Unlock the phone. I looked online and found people were having success unlocking these phones for free using the *#197327640# method, (whereby you go into the service mode, turn off the PERSHO_256 and then INITIALLIZ).
I tried this method and the phone then seemed to work with my telus sim, but only for voice, not data. When I put in a Bell SIM from a friend, both voice and data worked fine - which tells me its not a hardware (radio) issue. I also tried using another friends Telus SIM and had the same results as mine - which tells me it's not a SIM error. Also, all the settings in the mobile network area appeared to be correctly set up.
So, my next step was to try and reflash the phone to the stock Bell ROM and then just buy an Unlock code. I downloaded the stock ROM (2 different ones actually) and used Odin 3.07 to reload the ROM. I've tried it several times now, with both Bell ROMs and each time it says it's been successful, but the phone remains in the same, partially unlocked state.
It seems as though by using the PERSHO_256 method I have permanently, PARTIALLY unlocked the phone. I can't seem to re-lock it by installing the stock Bell ROM, and since it's unlocked, I can't get the foreign SIM error to come up to enable me to put in my purchased unlock code.
If anyone has any insights, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

did you check and/or setup the apn? it may be just the apn is not set correctly or you have to manually input hte apn
sounds like just APN needs setting...
APN?
How would I check/setup the APN? Is this to allow me to do a full reflash to a stock ROM or to access data with the phone in it's current state?
left ownsho
So I went into ACCES POINT NAMES and checked the sp.telus.net box, no change. Did a restart. No change Any ideas?
Wooooo Hooooo!!!
So, it's working now!!! I dug a little deeper and found the correct APN settings for TELUS. NOW IT F*@^&#*&@ING WORKS!
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!!!
Any assistance troubleshooting my issue is greatly appreciated.
Background:
I have AT&T SGH-317. It was stock/unlocked/unrooted. I traveled to Thailand and signed up with TrueMove to get new SIM card to use while in that country. Upon inserting the new SIM card and powering device up, I receive Unlock prompt. I contacted AT&T to get unlock code, but they refused to give me one because I'm still under contract (even though it's for another phone and my SGH-317 is already paid for).
I took the phone to a shop (MBK) to get it unlocked. But they were not able to do it without rooting the device. I mention this because I don't know what method they used to unlock the device. So at that time, I had unlocked/rooted device running Stock Android 4.4.2 Baseband I317UCUCNJ1. I installed the new SIM card but not able to connect to 3G, H+. I changed Network Mode to WCDMA only and adjusted APN to TrueMove settings, still no 3G, H+ connectivity.
I came to this forum to search for solutions and have done the following:
1. Flashed ROM to DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM using Odin 3.07 and openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-t0lteatt.img.tar
2. Set Network Mode to WCDMA only
3. Set APN to TrueMove parameters
I tried to Flash modem file suggested in One-Stop Shop Thread but failed miserably. I tried both I317UCUCNE5 and CWM-I317UCUCNJ1. Both files were .zip, so I unarchived and then rearchived using 7Zip to make .tar file so Odin would be able to utilize. Both attempts failed when I tried to flash.
I checked with my brother who has the same phone to see what modem he is using since his device works. He is using I317UCBMK6 baseband. I tried to download that baseband from link provided in One-Stop Shop thread, but it's an .exe and my virus protection software flagged it as virus and immediately deleted it off my computer.
The Ask:
1. Appreciate it if anyone is able to provide I317UCBMK6 baseband as .zip or .tar
2. Inform me on why the other two basebands failed flash and assist with proper methodology
3. Inform me on best option to solve my issue of not being able to connect 3G, H+ on my SGH-317 running DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM with current baseband I317UCUCNJ1.
Thank you, community!
Hey everyone,
I'm new to flashing phones but have experience flashing other hardware; still, I felt it prudent to ask for some guidance on this being my first attempt:
I have a Straight-Talk phone which is active and working with 4G that I would like to swap the SIM over to use in my Galaxy S10+ from Verizon.
Swapping the SIM without flashing limited the functionality to be contingent on WiFi; 4G would not work correctly.
So I suspect I'll need to flash with unlocked firmware to get it to work properly.
I have downloaded the G975U1_SAU_1.zip which is what I think I'll be needing to pull this off, as well as the latest available download of Odin (3.14.1).
Before I get started, I'd just like to ask some Questions:
Should I leave the intended SIM (Straight-Talk) in the S10+ (Verizon) while I'm flashing, or insert it after the flashing?
Am I using the correct firmware to flash this Verizon phone to work with Strait-Talk? (United States regions)
Also should I back up the intended SIM in some fashion before proceeding with this process (if so what software if any would be advisable for this?)
Is there anything I need to watch out for?
Am I on the right track for what I'm attempting to do?
Thanks in advanced for any help! :highfive:

Insert SIM after flashing. You need the current U1 firmware from sam mobile. You also need the patched version of Odin that's floating around the forums here. No need to backup your SIM, but using Odin will reset your phone to brand new. Nothing that I can think of, you just put the correct Odin file in each slot and hit go. Seems like you're onto it, you need 3 things which are patched Odin, latest firmware, and I think phone drivers so your PC recognizes the phone. Should be able to find these on Samsung website or other parts of the web.
Thanks for the support!
After your encouragement, I rechecked my firmware made sure to acquire the USB Drivers from Samsung.
Successfully flashed the phone and its now working as intended!
:victory:
I used the Frija tool mentioned here to make sure I had the right files.
And the Driver install came from here.
Thanks again for your support! :highfive:

No problem man, glad to help. Good you posted links too so others can do the same if they're having issues.
Absolutely!
Anything I can do to help pay it forward.
I should also mention I got my CSC code from the list posted at
Droid Views dot com /how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
(Won't let me post the outside link given that I'm new)
The code was required to use Frija to download the correct firmware.
(The 4GB download averaged at 2.5MB/s)
Here is the list I saw on the aforementioned page; I used XAA
Code:
[LIST]
[*]ACG – Nextech/C Spire
[*]ATT – AT&T
[*]CCT – Comcast
[*]LRA – Bluegrass Cellular
[*]SPR – Sprint (CDMA)
[*]TFN – Tracfone
[*]TMB – T-Mobile
[*]USC – US Cellular
[*]VMU – Virgin Mobile USA
[*]VZW – Verizon
[*]XAA – USA (unbranded/unlocked/default)
[*]XAS – USA (unbranded/unlocked)
[/LIST]
Random questions:
If you start with a Tmobile GM-S975U that is carrier unlocked (got unlock code from tmobile)
Will it work just fine with straight talk? If not Does changing the CSC code work, and to which code?
Is different firmware required? like U1?

The U1 software for the S-10 plus is strait from Samsung and has no carrier bloat. All US S-10 pluses are the same, no matter who the carrier is. That means you can flash any vendors rom as long as you don't go backwards on the bootloader version. The phone gets set up by the simm card installed on the first boot. The good things about the U1 software is there is no vendor bloat and your updates come straight from Samsung. Don't forget, you have to us the customized Odin to flash with.
Deatailed info and Odin link can be found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/guide-g975f-flashing-megathread-faqs-t3936704
Thanks for the reply. Should straight talk just work? My friend says data isn’t working on tmo firmware. What firmware and Csc code would work with them?
curious, do mobile Hotspot work, or is carrier still able to block it?
Can someone please tell me how to change the CSC code for a S20 Ultra 5G that is stuck on Verizon??
I have already flashed T-Mobile CSC with no luck. As well as flashed latest A12 file for "TMB" (T-Mobile) from SamMobile. And dialer codes do not work on this phone. I'm guessing its becasue I read somewhere Verizon locks the dialer for code use.
Please help as I have transitioned to T-Mobile and the system keeps installing Verizon apps that I am unable to remove AND the Service Provider still shows Verizon.
Device is SM-G988U1. Yes, its unlocked.
