[Q]i9505 doesn't work on one particular operator. no callings but has internet - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

here is my situation.
i am in Spain , there are 4 major operators Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo, with its own network , and dozens virtual operators.
recently i changed my operator to Yoigo , this operator has its own network and national roaming on Movistar.
my problem is , if my phone is under Yoigo network (both 4G and 3G) , i can NOT dial or receive any callings but i DO have data connection , all way up to maxim speed . if I manually locked it into Movistar network , it can dial/receive callings. Yoigo has its own 4G network , if i lock into Movistar, it's only up to H+ . this is problem ...
so i communicated with Yoigo , they say my line is fine , suggest me get a new sim card, i did , doesn't work either.
then I put my SIM into an i9515, it works on that phone and some other phone. I tried another Yoigo SIM on my phone , that SIM got same situation as mine.
I also tried other 6 operators SIM, they are all working fine on my phone , so i think my phone is hardware'ly fine.
I flashed official TW 5.0 with Bootloader and Lollipop baseband , no good.
i flashed older TW 4.4 with baseband , no good.
i restored IMEI that backup'ed when i bought phone , no good.
also , if i try to set something like voice mail , divert callings in "Phone" , it reports "SIM card or Network error"
symptom: if i dial out, 4G falls back to 3G, and then the dialing pad just closed on its own.
if someone calls , he gets information like "this number is not available "
any idea will be much appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Have you flashed a ROM specifically for Spain? Flashing different regional firmwares could be the cause of this issue. Also try going to settings > connections > more > mobile networks > network operators > set default setup to manual setup and make sure that it is registering the network properly.

You might have to dial 01191 + the number, that is the normal way to access India from the US. But that seems strange, because the access numbers should be via your local phone provider. I'm assuming you changed your SIM chip...
Be careful of custom ROMS - your T-mobile HD2 is different from the international version and will not accept a world wide ROM. The ROM has to be made for T-Mobile US.
Yes please make sure if you use a custom Rom that its made for your US model some can be used for both

Thanks stevedebi
My problem is limited to some nos. Most of the nos I can dial. Thats what puzzles me.
Like Blackberry, where you select the country prefix in settings, can I select the country in HD2? Or is there some registry tweak to solve this? I am using an India SIM card. There is no issue with SIM as I am able to dial all nos using same SIM in a different phone.
Is there a ROM update for T-Mobile HD2? Pl help with links...
Thanks

By doing a root using the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32889627 will it help??? or by using bootloader unlock will it help? Please guide me or make me start to do something....
If you are using GSM no you don't need to unlock it.
Just make sure you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean.
Stick the GSM Sim in there press okay if it says SIM form unknown source and you should get all ur signals.
If you are planning to use it with a CDMA Carrier then u have to do settings flash and hope they stick so u can ask ur provider to connect it to their network.
Also are you using Retail XT907 or Developer XT907 ???
any luck
so we're you able to make the SIM card work?

Thanks for the information but it does not seem to be working. I inserted a GSM (BSNL) sim card into it. Reset all data. When the phone restarted it says "SIM from unknown source". I press OK. It shows a few bars (does not show any data access). However I am unable to make any calls nor does it receive any calls. I even changed the "Preferred network mode" to "GSM/UMTS". Am I missing something? I could sure use some help here.

I tried flashing the aussie NON-HLOS.bin and it did not work. The operator was BSNL. Upon inserting the sim, I get an error saying "BSNL Mobile - An error occured". List of available networks was also empty. Only option is to rinstall some custom rom, I guess.

I have uploaded the file at h t t p : / / d-hDOTst/FpQ. (I am apparently not allowed to post external links until I have 10 posts.) Though I am not sure why you would want to do that.
Can some upload a copy of the original XT-907 radio? I am unable to find it anywhere. Thanks.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org
All of the currently available Motorola firmware files are available at that link.
Just download the full XML.zip for XT907 and use what you need from it or flash the entire file in RSD Lite.
New RAZR M
Hi,
Were you able to resolve it?
I have a RAZR xt910 and i am using the verizon leak and for me as well Airtel gets connected and everything with mobile network in status showing as disconnected. Just wanted to share that. Apart from that, i have something new i want to ask about.
I am thinking of buying a RAZR M for my friend, and its available here in India, Mumbai.
But the Reliance guy says its not a boxed piece and he says all imports are opened box pieces and that he has to open the box to edit some PRL settings to enable the phone or data or something like that. He is a CDMA phone service vendor.
Probably for you to enable the phone, you still might have to enable the PRL or whatever.
Anyone here knows what exactly he is trying to do? or is he bull****ting me for selling me an unboxed (probably used) phone from US. The price seems legit as compared to an imported version. And i am getting one year Seller's warranty, i.e. his shop - Reliance Webworld Communications(A known enterprise).
I have also asked this query in another thread for JBX custom Rom as i use that on my RAZR. Will share any details here if i find anything.
PS- I am going to his shop to understand what exactly he is doing so lets hope i find an answer to your problems as well.
Also if anyone knows how to get a proper box piece from US then that is also welcome. We will fix the not able to use issue here itself
This kinda happened to me (but in my case mine was just saying no service [ie the shield with a cross]) , are you sure your sim is activated (since it shows mobile network status as disconnected) or your carrier could just be evil and want you to sign up for a plan, in my case I told them I had a 4g device and to use my phone I had to sign up for a 4g plan (which I did on my lesser mb520) even though I had service (for about 15 minutes) when I just bought the sim and activated it at the dealer

Droid RAZR basically a World phone, means it can work on cdma/gsm networks.
when it got released it's GSM radio was disabled & in later motorola/verizon updates unlocked the GSM signals to make it
world phone.
FYI,
just google "droid razr world phone", you will see multiple sites reporting verizon unlocking the GSM signals on the phone to allow global roaming on GSM networks.
Dude !! i am talking about the Droid Razr M and not the Original XT912

[Q] Carrier specific GS4 kitkat offical roms

Hi, I had unrooted my i9505 and updated to kitkat (02 version). I am actually on the Tesco network and I thought that is what Tesco used. The rom seems fine, along with the network in general but I cannot use any mobile data networks. Does anyone know if this is because of the wrong rom or could this be a different error?
I have searched the forum and internet for a few hours but found nothing related to Tesco GS4 roms! : I used the 02 4.3 one from here and then update via keys to 4.4.2 -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Thanks!
Tesco and o2 share the same network, but they probably have different access point settings. if you go to the tescomobile website or call support they should be able to send you some settings to ensure you have the right APN?
Are you connected to TESCO (it says TESCO in the carrier label when you pull down notifications?) Just also check that in "settings/more networks/mobile networks/access point names" that it relates to tesco and not to o2?

Started to work through these settings, forgot to try the APN. In a little bit of a pickle at the moment as I tried to flash an unbranded rom via odin and now cant boot the phone..Need to fix with kies it says but its not appearing. Think the APN was the problem when the phone (hopefully) starts working again.
Thanks!
Fingers Crossed. You should be able to use the unbranded ROM though. The only difference should be the preinstalled apps and maybe some backgrounds/branding on the boot logo etc?

Cannot connect to CDMA network

Hi to All! I'm from Uzbekistan and my provider is Perfectum cdma operator. I bought my redmi 2 from aliexpress. About 2 month I used first slot as cdma. There is no Ev-Do in my country. Thats why I subscribed to GSM operator and put SIM card to first slot and used WCDMA for internet. Regularly updated original MIUI rom. But week ago want to back to my CDMA operator and put Ruim to first slot. The phone cannot connect to cdma network. No signal bar. Tried change bands from *#*#4636#*#* but no result. When put this RUIM to another phone is ok. What should I do to connect to CDMA network?

Hi, nurali.
I own the same 821 version. Here in Ukraine "Intertelecom" provides EvDo, it works fine but to get it worked provider's engineer tried several types of R-UIM cards until one of them recognized by phone. So you can ask provider to try other types of R-UIM cards.
