Purchased a rooted (to Jelly Bean) Samsung 8.9 LTE tab originally on ATT network. Previous owner ran it on T-Mobile. It wont recognize my ATT simcard. Simcard works fine in other 8.9 tablet non rooted.
I was advised by previous owner to:
Re Flash Rom
Re install Kernal
Re install modem
I am brand new to rooting anything. I think I have done this but no results.
Can anyone assist me?
It should not matter if its rooted. I have s rooted i957 and att works fine. Have you checked the apn (access point name)? Settings, wireless, more, mobile networks. The apn needs to be configured for att. Do you know what radio(modem) you're currently on?

Thank you for the reply ----right now I there is no information populated in the APN name. I have attempted to add APN name with duplicate information from another 8.9 tab at ATT store. The information wont save. I dont know what modem I am currently on (or supposed to be on).

Look in settings, about tablet. What is your baseband? That is the modem.

That's your problem. You have a couple of choices. You can return the tab to stock att ics or you can keep rooted jb and flash a new radio. I.don't know your level of experience so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do you know how to use odin or a custom recovery?

Not experienced with hacking/rooting android but am tech oriented person in all other areas. I know enough to throw the tab into the alternate boot mode (maybe you are calling recovery).
If you would be so kind to describe to me one time, I think I can get it.
my choice would be to not revert back to stock ATT, keep the rooted set up. Flash a new Radio.
BTW- I have tried "flashing" something with ATT and word MODEM in file name at root directory, but upon reboot still dont see APN info.
thanks in advance for your patience helping.

No problem helping you. We've all been there before. The alternate boot is recovery you probably have clockwork mod or twrp. I've worked with both. Finding a radio specifically for the i957 is a problem but the radios for the i727 work with no problem. It's what I have on my tab.
Download onto your tab http://d-h.st/NWW. This is the latest jb radio for the i727. You will flash this with your recovery. In the recovery there are options to wipe/format different things. You don't need to do any of those. Just flash/install the radio.
It should set up the apn's but if we have to we can manual set them up.

Do you have a baseband? It should be ucmc1. If this radio doesn't work there is one other that add a radio interface layer which you may need. The super user error can be corrected but we'll get to that. The other radio is http://d-h.st/pcr but let me know of you have s baseband first.

See off you can manually set the apn's on the first radio first. See my post above for the correct settings. Don't forget to save the apn before exiting by hitting the settings icon again. I've done that before.

I flashed the slim ICS rom on my captivate that had 2.3.5 gingerbread stock. Everything worked fine except that I couldn't make phone calls or text. Pretty much i couldn't connect to a service provider.
When I looked at the settings menu, and tried to search for mobile networks it said "error cannot find networks".
Anyone else having this issue and do you know how to resolve this?

I think this might be it. In one of the threads it says that it does not flash a new modem. My guess is that it needs to be i9000. I came from another ICS ROM and have had no problems.

Hi guys, finally decided to put down my sensation and move onto the Galaxy S III. I'll miss it =[
So I've bought a UK Galaxy S III I9305 from T-Mobile.
I've managed to root and that and it everything was working fine so I thought I'd flash some ROMs and see what one I like. I flashed two of them (Pandoriam and rXTREME). They worked fine except mobile data would not work on either of them. I followed some instructions in the thread which said to turn on GSM only, restart then switch back to WCDMA. But it still wouldn't work. I flashed different radios as well (or modems as they're called for samsungs) and that didn't help either.
I've just flashed a stock 3.1.2 EE firmware and the device is back to complete functionality and the 3G came on immediately. I also noticed when I booted the phone the first thing that popped up was a box asking if I wanted to enable data connections; this never happened on the custom ROMs. I figured it must be me or my device since it didn't work on both ROMs, hence my posting here instead of their threads. Am I doing something wrong here?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
Did you check the apn settings? When I flashed those roms I had to re enter the settings again

Ah this wasn't suggested. If you can be bothered could you possibly outline what I need to do. I know how to get to APN settings, do I just note down what they are now on a stock ROM and set them the same way on a custom ROM?

Which Att Rom you using and what modem you are using. I have i717 and I tried several rom's and modem's but still cannot find a good match.
If I load Tmo rom's, I can't even install them as the installation gets aborted before mine is i717 device which is att but I thought i717 and T879 same.
Anyways please let us know what's your combination so I can try it out too. By the way I am trying to use i717 with Wind Mobile in Canada which is same as TMO.
Ok, my tablet was an sgh-i957 (lte at&t version), but it was bricked, so i bought a jtag service on ebay, and after i receive the tablet, the boot loader was of the p7320 model, so i flash the tablet with the sgh-i987 stock rom, but after flash, the memory intern memory was just 127 mb (it was the only problem, the other things was working good, even the 3g and 4g), so i re-flashed the tablet with a stock ICS rom, from Norway(Telenor). All was working good, but..Now i have another problem, my 3g is not working (just edge), the stock rom that i use is from Norway (telenor), and the bands that they use for the 3g are 900/2100MHz, but i need the 850 / 1900 bands to make it work in at&t, how can i solve this?, can i flash another modem to back to the 850 / 1900, or make it quad band.
My actual rom is ICS from Norway(telenor), and the baseband is P7320XXLPI
IM GOING TO DONATE TROUGH PAYPAL IF SOMEONE SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
Thanks..
You can flash another radio thru your recovery. It would be a zip file. The problem is finding one. I've tried to search for one but don't see any. I'm also not sure how close the 7320 is to the 7300/7310. You most likely will not brick your device flashing a radio. You run a high risk flashing a kernel or rom. so you might try some for a different device. Just be prepared to odin back to stock. You might even try a radio for the i727, galaxy skyrocket. I successfully did that on my i957. I flashed ucmc1
Edit. If you go to the i727 development forum, go to the stickies there and look for vincom and his rom, radios,etc. There are a bunch to choose from.
Ps, I would recommend the ucli3 skyrocket radio. The i727 and i957 have the same modem chip.
Fyi, this is the radio I flashed on my i957, it's from the i727, http://d-h.st/NWW. It'll work on ics. Don't need to do any wipes, just flash over what you have on your tab now. Particularly don't wipe system!

If i restore by odin with a stock firmware, the modem can be restored too?
Yes. Odin will put the stock firmware and radio back on. I'm pretty sure the i727 radio will work. It definitely does with i957 firmware. Just not sure with the 7320firmware you have. But its more hardware related than firmware and you have the right hardware.

The first step will be to put a custom recovery on your tab. This file is twrp, http://d-h.st/fqw. Download it on to your computer. You'll flash it with odin. You install it just like the stock rom ie, run it in PDA with only auto-reboot and f.reset checked.
Note, this twrp file its for the i957. I'm not sure what it will do with your 7320. Partitions may have been changed and you may run into the same problems you did when flashing the i957 rom.
Edit: I was able to find cwm recovery for the 7320, http://d-h.st/Wcv. This might work better.

Any time you flash something there is a risk of brick. But recovery does not mess with the partition tables. I think worst case it didn't install and you might have to odin the stock rom

Can you get into recovery? Next step is to download a radio onto the tab. Put it were you'll know where to find it. You'll boot into recovery and then choose that file to install. Don't do any wipes, just install/flash it. Reboot and then check your baseband. Should be good to go from there
Which recovery did you end up installing? Cwm or twrp?

Hey guys, since my thread was closed, I was advised by ::indie:: to show you guys how to port his rom. This method should work for other International I9505 roms as well. Landon4444 made a thread on how to port it, but I'm taking more of TheAxman's approach.
1. Download Omega Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
You'll need Notepad++ for this next part
2. Open the zip of the rom and add this line into the file build.prop (system/build.prop)
# Use CDMALTE Phone
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
^This gets data working for our phone.
3. Flash the modified rom and a custom TW kernel for our device.
4. Enjoy
Also, please don't make the mistake I have, and ask for permission before you port. Hope this helps you guys out.

It will work, but what is the point here? I know you mean well, but this is a bad idea, I think.
And why are you singling out this one rom?
TUT = ? What does this stand for?
My next question. Will this work on any of the ROMs from Verizon or international?

And TUT = Tutorial.

I used this method to port MIUI, Omega, and a PA build I never released. It will work on any US variant of the S4 and the I9505 international version Please report here if you have any problems and/or if it worked for you :thumbup:

I tried it with a Verizon rom but its already in there, I assume because they are cdma also. I get data working with it and 4g with apn restore but lose lte after reboot. Still scratching my head over that.

I was advised by the maker of Omega ROM to make a tutorial (TUT) on how to port this ROM since my port of it was taken down. I probably should (and will) change the title but I did include in the OP that it will work for other ROMs as well (as long as they are on an S4 with similar hardware).

Yeah, Verizon Roms are a tad easier than other carriers haha You might want to message cerj about that...it might have to be set in the hidden menu. And it's set on LTE/CDMA in Mobile Networks right?

Yeah I set it to that and it stays on that even after a reboot but no 4g after. Its weird because if I restore my Sprint Tw rom after that I don't have 4g either. I have to update prl twice to get it back. Same thing on Jellybeans rom and Hyperdrive. Its really a shame because them roms fly on this thing.

Alrighty then.
Tried adding the line prior to flash but it didnt stick for some reason... so I added it after the flash and LTE is working fine but my signal bars are dead. Any idea how to get them back?
Edit: so I turned off lte and they came back, I can live with this. "Roaming indicator off" notification is pretty annoying though. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Alright, found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43205979&postcount=130
You just need to get 7zip (or another compression tool), download a Cyanogenmod Nightly build, and replace the eri.xml in the rom with the one from Cyanogenmod :good:

I had the same issue with 4G signal bars and this is what I did on Omega and it fixed it.
I do not know how much of this is necessary and be sure to make a backup before you try.
I replaced the following files in the Omega ROM with those from a stock deodexed MDL ROM prior to flashing then flashed KTs latest kernel and wiped cache and dalvik before rebooting.
The entire CSC directory in /system
any .so file in system/lib that contained ril in its name.
libaudio-ril.so
libreference-ril.so
libril-qc-qmi-1.so
libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
libril.so
libsecril-client.so
In system/bin
rild
sec-ril
in /system
build.prop
If you do a google search for radio interface layer (RIL) you will find info that led me to replace the ril files
I then restored APNs using APN backup and Restore after booting.
Hope this helps

Do you still have 4g after rebooting?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I wanna say yes but am on a different ROM now and never specifically tested that.
I did run it like that for several days and never lost 4G but don't know for sure if I ever rebooted.
I def had 4G signal bars though.
