I have the same problem like you before,my device is N920R6 and i couldn't find custom roms . And then find sprint custom rom and i flash them and to my surprise they work without any issue really. So recently i have using roms from teleteam, S8 port and note fan edition , they also have gsm version of rom which i use mostly which are awesome ,and i think would work for you. so i recommend trying them out and other sprint custom rom, but the most important thing you must do before flashing anything is ensure you backup your phone, its highly recommended.

The problem that I am having is that I am from Bulgaria and am not sure if this Sprint custom ROMs would work with my operator. The problems I am having right now are:
1. I can't send SMS/text messages, though I can receive.
2. LTE/4G is not working for me.
I am using the official Nougat firmware of US Cellular. I do not know if I can flash other modem and which other modem.

Nope, flashed stock 7.0 for N920R4 and everything works fine... But no network with custom roms(for example S8 based roms which r based on 7.0, maybe cuz phone was 6.0.1 stock)? Now im using latest stock 7.0 US cellular rom, so far so good, but i didnt flash custom Nougat based rom,yet, but i will and ill let U know hows things going... Modem file, so as boot is main reason for incompatibility i think...
N, But sadly, no Dev wanna talk about that, on any custom based threads on XDA... so as anyone else... Cant believe, that just few of us owning this variant of N920...
Download rom, flash it through Odin, do clean flash if u r now on custom rom(wipe everything except Internal memory), than go to Download mode and flash Stock Nougat...
Edit: Do at least BACKUP of EFS,MODEM and BOOT if U r on Custom recovery! EFS is MUST TO, just in case U need to restore it...

Using GSM on Paranoid Android

Hello all,
As always, apologies in advanced if the solution ends up being simple, or that I've obviously overlooked something.
I have a Sprint HTC One. I live in Europe so I have rooted my device and also performed a SIM Unlock.
I was successful and the phone recognized my 3 Network SIM and works fine.
I have tried several different ROMs recently (Cyanogenmod, Carbon, Viper and Paranoid Android) and in each of them I cannot get the phone to switch networks away from SPRINT.
I switch the Network mode to GSM/WCDMA and double check in the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*). Reboot, and still no luck.
Oddly, I sometimes receive messages to my phone, but I cannot send any and there are no APN settings whatsoever.
It is necessary to be on stock to perform the SIM Unlock, so does that mean it will not work when I flash new roms?
Is there a setting in Paranoid Android (for example) that I am overlooking?
Thanks.
Can't...No supported

Thanks for the reply.
Are there custom ROMs for m7spr that could support GSM? Or is it completely non existent?
I have tried stock for several months and would rather not go back.

One of the threads mentioned that you need to be on 1.29 to use sim unlock.
It works for me in Bangalore, India so should definitely work for you as well...you might have to downgrade...
I'm on Viper 1.1.0.

By 1.29 are you referring to the Stock version?
I have successfully SIM unlocked, but all the ROMs tried simply do not pick up a signal.
I will try Viper 1.1.0, perhaps I used a known incompatible version beforehand.
Thanks for your reply.

I am still having trouble connecting.
Can I ask what you did when setting up, did the ROM automatically connect you to your network?

Do you get the message "Switch to global mode" when you rebooted your phone? You have to select Yes to that for the network to be detected.

I was able to use the ViperBoy ROM to stay on GSM with the advent of 4.3 official release I am wondering if the newer ROMS based the Sprint release will cater to GSM w/data cause its quite a bother not benefiting from the other perks
I'm using the "Stock with Goodies" ROM successfully on Vodafone in Spain. The OP is mentioning all AOSP rom's that don't work with a SIM card. Any sense based ROM will work(such as Viper). The only AOSP type ROM that I managed to pick up any signal on was the GE Nocturnal ROM after flashing this zip, https://mega.co.nz/#!dgdmFQbb!ZXw8Q18FwMU0Xn_t3_Prp2dcd9Fn01pdR5s3Ha-_TaI . This GSM patch was very alpha, it had numerous telephony.db force closes and disconnects frequently. The DEV for GEnocturnal said he would try to make the next 4.3 based GE rom internationally compatible so that's our best hope for using stock Android as of yet.
There's a guy using the CM 10.2 rom I built in the android dev forum. I don't know how it's working but it's working for him. He has voice and h+ Data just the signal bars don't show the correct signal.

think i have a i9305 lte..mobile network not found..

I have been given a sg3, the model number is 9305 and the back cover has LTE motif on it so i assume it is the later variant from what i have read, it is running android 4.1.1 but i cant get any updates to it and no sim card will register on on network, i have checked the imei is not black listed so i know its not stolen. I have the yellow triangle on it so i assume something has been done and the is no recovery mode when i press down and home button, i used root checker and it seems to be unrooted.
What i want to do is just get it to a latest stock rom or unbloated google rom and have it in unlocked state as i want to give it to someone.
Not really sure how i should proceed from here..please advise.
Thank you
Is it possible that your S3 LTE comes from another country? If it so then maybe the 3G/4G bands defined are not compatible with the frequencies in your country.

Oh, BTW I forgot: you can download a stock ROM (Samsung) from here (4.1.2 and 4.3):
samsung-updates.com / device/?id=GT-I9305
I tried the stock 4.3 and it drains my battery as crazy so I've ended up with Cyanogenmod (now 4.4.4, nightly) that works great.
And if you look for "modem"|"baseband" I9305 you will also find a list of software modem/basebands to install to your ROM.

Galaxy Note 4 N910W8 No Service After Flashing Custom ROM

No service using Dynamic rom.
Note 4's model number is N910W8 (Qualcomm). After a week of researching I finally learned how to flash custom roms. Thought my troubles were over until My phone wasnt able to pick up a signal from my phone carrier wind mobile. This only happens when I have a custom rom flashed. everything works good as new once i do a Nan recovery. Question is, does anyone know a solution or thread that has solved this problem?
TLDR:
Service wont work with a custom rom that is both N901T/W compatible.
Which rom did you flash? Because depend on the rom usually from N910T, or US variants Note 4, you may need to flash Canadian Signal Fix after you flash custom rom. Otherwise, I would recommend you to flash back to stock for now and may be ask the developers of the custom rom how to fix your issues. Best of luck!

Hoping to flash my SM-N9208 Note 5 with another official ROM

Im not sure if anyone has the answer to this...
I happened to be in Taiwan at the weekend when the Note 5 launched.
I visited an official concession at a department store where I had the opportunity to ask the salesman a few questions. He assured me that the model (N9208), would be the same one that would be launching in the Philippines (where I live). I took his word for it and purchased the phone. I had the opportunity to visit a Samsung store today to find that the software (keyboard etc) is very different on the Philippines version (still an N9208)!
I love the phone but English (UK) is my first language and the Philippine version supports it much better than the Taiwanese version. The handwriting pad is the most noticeable difference as it is set up for inputting characters as opposed to writing sentences...
I was hoping to change this; N9208ZTU1AOH3_N9208ZZT1AOH3_BRI
to this; N9208XXU1AOGE_N9208OLB1AOGF_XTC
I was hoping to keep it as official as possible.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Why do people do this? Buy a phone that's not for a region they live in cause they "can't wait" or some other excuse? If I want a phone for the US, I'm not going to go to the UK to get it......

Ok, nvm LOL. Didn't think of it that way, forgot there is no UK launch for Note 5.
No custom ROMs (or even root) yet, I believe -- but I'm a Note 4 user and I sometimes use Google's own handwriting keyboard in place of Sammy's solution. It installs as an alternate keyboard.
I find that It works best when paired with Google's own keyboard. Both should be available to download on your device since Google now releases their apps on a stand-alone basis (i.e. it won't replace your stock Sammy keyboard).
Hope that helps while you wait for a custom ROM.

Thank you. I have been using Stylus Beta from the Play store in the meantime. The google one was great but I have found writing sentences much more fluid with the stylus app. I recommend checking it out!
Cheers for the input!

just flash it with odin...they are compatable.......all the firmware for n9208 will flash no problem
youve given me an idea to do it now ,,,,i have same problem
just curious why you picked xtc firmware
Hi, the firmware I picked is from the Philippines. English is widely spoken, especially in business etc so it's the best bet for full English support of the N9208 I believe. I think the firmware I picked is the carrier free version although I need to double check.
I'm very tempted to use Odin but my only holdup is Knox. Samsung pay is launching imminently and I would hate to miss out if my phone becomes unofficial!
Any idea if it would be effected?

Yes, you need to enable 'OEM unlock' before you can flash with Odin. Same happened on my N920C when i tried to flash a custom kernel: always failed until I changed the OEM unlock.

Don't think this have anything to do with it as i remember seeing that on my Galaxy S6 as well.
Could you try to flash another compatible software? I had the same problem once with my S6 which was LUX, tried to flash a firmware from the Netherlands on it and would fail as well, but then tried a French one and it flash without problems.
Or you might want to go look if there's a solution in the Galaxy S6 (and Edge) forums. I wasn't the only one with that problem but since I could flash the French firmware i've never bothered to further look into it.

Which firmwares have you tried flashing on your N9208 ? I was gonna try to flash the N920T firmware on my N9208. I have a t-mobile sim in my N9208 and I want wifi calling and the new t-mobile video calling feature.
I only tried n9208 firmwares on sammobile... Malaysia... Philippine... and some unknown ones
never thought trying others...
could others be used safely?
I just wanted to change keyboard because chinese characters keep coming up!

the one that fails is the modem I dont know why ,maybe if someone could provide as with a flashable modem zip (of n920c for example) would be great.
To change just the system
I unziped the firmware of the n9208 then I replaced the cache.img and system.img with the ones of a n920c rom.
then build up the tar file and flashed with odin. Rooted and flashed TPWR after.
everything works except nfc probable from the baseband that is different.
Thats why I am asking of a flashable modem..
Tried Dr.Ketans rom also but I lost signal.

voLTE

Hi there, proud owner of N920I here.
I have been flashing plenty of roms and i realised that most of the roms lacks the voLTE feature.
I would appreciate if anyone can advice me on how to get back the stock Phone APK (Singapore Singtel) with voLTE option is the phone settings.
Thanks in advance for those being helpful ^^
Stock firmware. Or flash a rom that supports it.

I have flashed stock rom, ap/bl/csc/cp but still can't find my voLTE settings. This is really weird. I am unable to get back my stock telco rom, googling gives 0 results lolz
Same on 920i in US. Is it because either att or tm doesn't support our variant? I wish it would support samsung pay more than volte.

For my case, I have voLTE when I purchased it . After rooting and going back to stock (same firmware same CSC same modem n bootloader) I can't find it anywhere pretty weird. On stock I have 4g+ but on dr ketan rom I only get 4g. Flashing CSC and modem over doesn't change anything other than the phone apk layout lols.
Anyway, once rooted, just forget about Samsung pay.
