I have an unlocked stock rooted AT&T i747 running 4.1.2. I want to use it on the Bell network. When I put in a Bell sim, it shows it has service, and the pda.bell.ca APN shows up, but it can't find the Bell network, only Rogers. Just wondering if anyone else has tried the same thing and had success or no? As it is I cannot call, text, or browse... Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Is there an option in the network settings to select lte or wcdma?
Did you check to make sure the phone isn't listed as being blacklisted?

I haven't located any settings about WCDMA or LTE. On my i747m I'm used to being able to toggle between 2G/3G/4G. Nothing like that here. Bell's IMEI check approved it, and it's not on the national blacklist.

You say the Bell APN shows up but are you using it?
Trying to... However I'm still not getting any data service.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434995 has the APN, I assume you already looked it up but can be useful.
Getting service but no data is usually just not having data turned on.. So obvious question: Do you have it turned on in your settings/pulldown menu?
If your APN checks and data is turned on, you might have to give Bell a call (don't have to tell them you have a US variant).
Thanks for your input. Data is definitely turned on. However, please remember that it's not only data that isn't working. I am also unable to call and text.

Can you check to make sure your baseband matches your bootloaders? If it does, I'm out of options for now. Bell (or someone else) can probably help you further.
Sorry for not being overly knowledgeable...
How can I tell what bootloader I'm running?

Ok. I found how tell what bootloader I'm running. The baseband and bootloader do match.

So... This phone has sat around for a few months, and now I want to sell it to a friend of mine on Telus. Anyone know what we need to do to make it work???

Once the phone has been unlocked, it will work on all carriers except Wind and Mobilicity.

It seems it should be that way... the phone is unlocked, but when I put a Bell sim in it it says emergency calls only. The only network that comes up to set as default is Rogers. Can you advise me as to how to make 100% sure the phone is unlocked?
Are you running a custom ROM? Can you change the network settings to wcdma only?

I rooted it with Chainfire's Odin Autoroot, but everything else is stock... I can't find a way to change the network settings to wcdma only... I'm trying to use it on a GSM network, anyway. Or am I not understanding?

Which carrier are you trying to use the phone with? If it is Telus/Bell/Koodo/Virgin, it should work without changing anything.
The only networks that support GSM are Fido and Rogers.

Ok sorry, I think I got confused about the wireless technology. I'm trying to use it on Bell or Telus, but no luck. I guess I should try an AT&T sim in it and see if the phone works at all...

What stock ROM is on the phone? I had an i747m that was locked to Bell. I used the free method to unlock it, updated to 4.4.2, and it works perfectly on Rogers and Koodo.

The ATT should work on Bell and Telus. My Bell i747m could roam on ATT when I travelled to the USA.
Just to confirm: you can connect to the Rogers network but not Bell or Telus?
Hello guys,
I just got a G925T and unlocked it(root & unlock), installed a VZW sim and got the data to work. I cannot make any calls or text tho.... Any thought for a frustrated fella???
I have contemplated installing a rom and trying to change the message center number there because it cannot be done in stock rom... but not sure if its possible.
I have a g925t, could you tell me how you rooted and unlocked it? I've tried so many things and even bricked it twice.
ATT, Tmobile and the rest of the world using GSM network. but Verizon and Sprint is using CDMA network. Therefore if you use a GSM phone on a CDMA network, IT WILL not work!

If it does not work, how did I get the internet to work... is a matter of configuration. I know Tmobile locks the message center number so it cannot be edited. If there is a different way(like an app or flashing a configuration) I might be able to make it work, at least the text messages.

If you brick twice, you need to give up.
Stock isn't as bad as it's made out to be.
I gave up waiting for safe uncomplicated root, but it's still not possible.
Proper root is seamless and everything works on the first try.
That was possible with all the Galaxy phones before this model, but not with this phone.

From what i inderstand, Verizon mostly uses CDMA for voice unless you are in a VoLTE area. Even then I would say all bets are off for voice.

This. Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular are all predominantly CDMA voice carriers. While they support VOLTE unfortunately it's not standardized yet so it's hit or miss on devices but VZW systems usually just reject any non certified voice device which flips it to data only like a tablet. The Tmobile s6 isn't equipped with compatible CDMA radios as they're proprietary. The LTE portion of the system they use is standard (GSM) with the rest of the world which is why data works.

hello, friends. Specially those who are worried about the so many problems with signal moto g5 users face. Im here asking for help. i have a moto g5 (cedric) i was working almost fine with oreo stock. i say almost because some times when i lost signal it didnt recover like any other phone woud, i had to reboot. now from almost a week ago i had lost signal and now i only have 4g. no 3G and no 2G, so no voice calls going out nor incoming ones. i ve done hard resets, flashing stock 7.0 and going back to stock 8.1 and nothing. on saw 3g for a little moment coming back to oreo. i also flashed carbon rom wich is android 9.0 to see if a custom rom helped but it didnt. i only have internet now and sms. and this is very frustrating. ive checked persist folder and everything is correct there. i have my imei right, this phone is like new but not being able to call is like not having a phone at all. also why i have to reboot to recover missing signal? is just a pain. this moto phones are really problematic when it comes to Signal management.
things to consider too: im currently on stock oreo, just rooted to be able to check if persist folder was correct and to backup efs folder. also my operator uses 900mhz band as 2g and 3g wich is an european frecuency not common in latin america. maybe that has something to do with problems im facing. the rom has cedric_latam_cust as the baseband. can anyone help me find one frome europe? im wondering if flashing one from there could help. the weird thing is that it was working before with that baseband.
so many people losing 4g, i could be glad if that was my case and had 2g and 3g only with full internet and calling capabilities.
im sorry i know it is a little bit too much information. but i really need the help

You could get your country firmware from here.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/cedric/official/
And don't flash older version firmwares as it will brick your device.and you should try a different sim card in your device to know if there is a problem in sim card or the device.

Not at all. I'm still having 4g only. As I mentioned before, in status it is still showing the same baseband that was in first place. One from Latin America. But I was trying to get it changed to an Europe one by fishing a new rom from O2. But it didn't change.

In my country we have 3 mobile operators. Movistar won't work (don't know why), the other works perfect on my phone. Mine from a week ago only work 4g. This afternoon it worked 3g but when I rebooted it stopped. Only 4g again. So no calls.
The first screenshot is with 3g and no signal
The other 2 is when rebooted having activated 4g

It seems the problem is API as you are getting 4g but no calls then it could probably API only, try editing the API or creating a new one. You can get the API configuration from the internet or the device which you get calls.

Hi,
I have a N975F from the company Orange, this company does not usually have updates up to date (I still expect Android 10).
My question is, what would be better, unlock the bootloader and install a rom, or release the phone to install an official firmware?
Thx!
If your main interest is getting an official update, then unlock the carrier
With unlocking carrier will not fix slow updates. You have to change CSC to BTU or something similar. Google it.

Need some help guys. I am based in Australia and swapped an iPhone for the Z Fold 3. Went through the usual connection process with my sim and esim whilst connected to wifi. All was well as it allowed calls and received calls when I was home. As soon as I stepped outside my home where it was trying to use the network, it does not work. It keeps saying not registered on network. Tried to manually select network via settings, checked all APN settings from the network and all is ok. Even tried 3 different carrier sims (Vodafone, Optus and Telstra) yet still no matter what this phone will never connect to any carrier network without wifi. From there I tried 3 different firmwares from Sam mobile just in case it had corrupt firmware. Both android 11 and 12 will not work. Need help guys please. Any suggestions?
Did you try calling the carrier or going online to their site and activate the phone? Not from Australia but I think it's worth a try.

Hi there. When I first got my unlocked phone and put in my Verizon sim, it worked right away. However, when I logged on to the Verizon site, it was showing my old phone with the new IMEI and the phone could receive calls but not call out. I called Verizon and asked them to activate which fixed the issue. Can't you call the carrier and ask if they can help you figure out why you can't call when on the cell network?
That is the same error I get here in the States if I try to manually connect to any roaming network (network other than T-mobile, the carrier I use).

It works on T-mobile, but it refuses to connect to any other network, and if I try manually to switch, it gives that same error message you get. Roaming is included in my plan for calls, text, and data, so it is supposed to work, but these phones have issues. I currently have the temporary fix on my phone for the T-mobile issue, so it has stopped flipping to "Emergency Calls Only" and back, but the fix prevents it from seeing other networks now. Whether it is Samsung or T-mobile who has to fix it, it needs to be fixed!
