A question: may I have the update OTA even if I am in another country? without the sprint sim card?
Yes, you should get OTA update without Sprint SIM card and irrescpective where you are located. You only need working internet connection.

OK, So I am not sure exactly what I did, but I was running DFT_Android ROM without any issues but wanted to try the NexusHD2-Gingerbread ROM. After flashing (successful) I wasn’t able to get on to my cellular network, wireless LAN, or even see the device through Windows (Aside from USB Mass Storage). So I decided to flash back to DFT_Android…
Well now I can search for network operators and I see mine (Bell) but I can’t connect to it. If I try to set up and APN it asks me to choose an operator, Vodafone or Vodafone Business.
What the heck is going on? Did the ROM write to my SIM?
Where do I go from here? How do I get back on my carriers network?
Here are the current software details:
HTC HD2 Telstra
Baseband: 15.42.50.09u_2.14.50.04
So I swapped out the sim card with another working sim from another account and it worked right away... So my question is... Is it possible the sim became carrier locked to another carrier? Is that possible?
If I put my original sim back in I get the same message...
Your original SIM is probably just bad. I would request a new one from Bell.
Hello, recently I set up my L720T on Boost, however it rejects the SIM card during the activation process and then locks it out, then leaves an error saying no SIM card. Does anyone no of a trick or possible the OTA app from a Boost ROM for L720T that I could install and have the activation process go through?
Thank you for any help I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: This isn't one of those donor phone flash things, I called Boost to resku the S4 IMEI and the SIM was originally different. When I popped in an approved SIM they said it should automatically authenticate but that's not what's happening.
The ICCID of the new SIM wasn't updated in their system at the time of RESKU. It will not automatically update. This requires their intervention.
Hello, the phone on firmware APF2. Menu there are no hotspot. My opeator not a sprint, your phone is connected to another operator. Sim card and not a sprint, and from another operator.
How to make a hotspot to display the menu?
Well, from that message it sounds like your SIM card is not a sprint one. Who is your service provider? If it not sprint I would suggest using the unlocked firmware G935U. If you are with sprint I would try possibly a factory reset or take out the SIM and reinsert it. If it is still not working re-flash the pf2 firmware.
My GSM operator www.orange.md and CDMA (Number prescribed in the phone itself.) www.idknet.com.
I've tried to do is reset to factory Adapting and twice pierced him. Hotspot Menu appears.
You can easily sew G935P firmware from G935U? Problems will not be? Do I get bricks, blocks?
I haven't tried my self yet, but there is a whole thread talking about the unlocked firmware and using it on a print phone. You should take a look.
ok
Dear experts,
I have a T-mobile S6edge plus, SM-G928T, build MMB29K...... purchased from US and got it rooted and sim unlocked for using other SIM. I am not getting any OTA, instead a message appears which says, unauthorised modification to operating system, download updates via Smart switch or customer centre.
My question here is, if, in the first place, i even get an update in smart switch on PC, should i update my phone? And if i update my phone, will it remain network unlocked? coz i still have all those T-mobile apps on my phone including "device unlock" app which (as i have heard from someone) gets removed once T-mobile unlocks the phone themselves.
Is there any chance that my phone gets network locked again after the update?
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Last summer I successfully flashed an SM-G935P (Sprint) to Verizon. I put it on the shelf without ever trying to use in on Verizon's network. I decided to switch to it from my S6 the other day. Before I did anything else I ran all system updates (via a wireless connection). All went well until I put in my already activated Verizon sim card. I get no coverage at all. Noda. The firmware loaded is G935VVRS8CRK2. Everything in settings =>About Phone looks right. Can anyone shed some light on what I may have done wrong?
P.S. I did try a Sprint sim card and it did show a 3g connection during initial setup. Is something left over from Spring that I need to wipe?
Flashing G935V firmware just converts your firmware to VZW (bootloader, radio, system) and you need to unlock your phone with Sprint still, but if you updated to Update 28 for S7 you can't go back to Sprint's firmware because the Update 28 contains bootloader v9!
TL;DR: you just need to unlock your device via sprint.
Here's a link to sprints unlock thing: https://www.sprint.com/en/legal/unlocking-your-sprint-device.html
The only thing is this, when I insert my Verizon sim card I am not prompted for an unlock code. Also, Sprint automatically unlocks their devices after ~50 days of active service on an account with good standing. Am I wrong?
Simple yet aggravating
So, the main issue I found after unlocking the Sprint G935P is (and I'm sure this is the problem you're having) you have to manually put in the APN settings to connect to Verizon.
Just Google "Verizon 4G LTE APN settings 2020" and enter what it tells you
