IS AT&t IMEI BLOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!?

I have flashed the uro rom of the galaxy tab on a us sgh-1987 att samsung tab , i inserted my at&t sim card and it will not allow me to make calls . Can some point me in the right direction to fix this. The at&t sim card i am using has voice and data. Or have i not done something properly.

You need to be using a different modem than the one included in the Euro rom. I believe either the Bell Canada or Rogers modems should work to enable voice on ATT. I'm using the Euro JMI rom with the Bell JK5 modem and it works fine for me.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273

I followed the instructions and for some odd reason the sim that came with my samsung is the only one that will work even though my phone is unlocked and i am using another att sim card that has voice and data.

And when i go to check wireless settings it keeps me me in flight mode.

Using JMIv2 here. Just made a call -- seems fine.
I full flashed JMIv2 over top of JMEv4.

Your not doing something correct.
Also please post in the correct subforum. This in no way has anything to do with android development. This belongs in general. Read much??

Pls change the title of your post. It's completely baseless, and it's obvious you did something wrong. Thanks!

Weren't you on other threads contradicting people about 3g+ voice using service menus?
I am confused about your setup - what model tab? I thought you had t-mobile tab.
Anyway, on an at&t tab use the bell i9000 modem. Check your apn and network mode afteryou reboot.
The iemi blocking by t-mobile stops people from using data.

And besides clubtech does a perfect write up to get everything working. SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND.

Good point!

Thank you
i appreciate the advice in pointing me in the right direction. but it seems like a lot of you aren't very newbie knowledge friendly. i posted what i was experiencing in the hopes of getting a point in the right direction. not a solution. turns out my Sim card was corrupted. all i had to do is go and grab a new one. i apologize if my question seemed too basic and trivial to you . but it turns out that i just made a logical investigative approach to my problem . I followed rotos guide to the letter so i assumed that AT&T had also latched on to the idea of imei blocking. I have done several apps for the android market ,and am constantly wanting to learn more . some of you have great skill sets but no patience for new comers. but all in all i will not post in the forum anymore if it involves being downgraded for simply asking for help, isn't this why we have forums for the techs the geeks the cpu nerds. who would have thought amongst intelligent people we still deal with aristocracy .

i did have a t-mobile tab and then returned and bought att tab and it works just fine now . like i said in the forum i am learning so please bear with me

Aristocracy has and will always be common among us nerds blame it on our our societal influences.
Regardless of that, people are more upset about you not searching the forum/threads. Please use the search option , it will save us all time and wasted bandwidth. Also post in the correct sub forum. This section is meant for what it was named for, development only. There is a general/ Q&A section.
Once again, I can't stress the search feature enough. It will seriously help. I promise.
Not flaming you, just trying to help direct you

i appreciate it thank you

hey guys im on roto's v4 and it works for both tmous and att

need some help with getting my phone on metropcs

II've unlocked my phone already, root access. the whole 9. Phone only reads T-mobile sim card. Not my metropcs sim card. No GSM service. only CDMA. I've ran down so many forms. Every time I think i find something. Its just a troll that says he has it working but explains nothing. Shows nothing so the thread ust die. Can someone that has a working sprint HTC ONE on metropcs"call,text,internet,picture messaging,3g or 4g". Simply post what they did or even make a back up of your phone and post it so the rest of us can have the same privilege. Please do not send me a link to some thread that I've already been to. That gets rather annoying. hell if you can do it for me. I'll pay you. im on 4.3 bad boy sprint one sense 5.5 v1.3 PRI 4.38_003 PRL 01005.

Without trying to sound like a jag, you said you've done everything, but not once do you mention FLASHING TO METROPCS. You can unlock and setup the GSM stuff all day long and get no love. It has to be flashed to the carrier before it will work for it. There are quite a few places that offer that service, with guarantees, since you brought up paying. Makes sense to check them out. I saw a few while researching this, but you want no links so I'll let you do your own homework. BTW, I understand your frustration; the problem is, this phone CAN be made to work in the way you are looking for, but it isn't really designed to work that way, no matter what certain people or threads say. So, be aware that you are likely to be disappointed with the outcome anyway. From what I've read, expecting anything more than 3G and crappy data on GSM in the US is expecting too much. My penny and a half. Good luck!

Are phones from different carriers more dev friendly?

Verizon seems to prevent people at great length from tampering with their phone, as I've learned from my brothers' S4.
AT&T M8 section has 2 Roms already, with a third being ironed out.
And I know many of the devs here have vast knowledge with the Sprint HTC phones with tons of experience.
Does AT&T just make it easier to develop for? Or, do the others just try harder to make it difficult, even though HTC has unlocked the boot loader for all their phones?
I've never understood this.

I think what it comes down to is, what the developers actually have. The International M8, AT&T version have a bigger following I guess. The only one I have been reading that was difficult for Verizon as they superglued the bootloader. Many devs in the Intl forum eventually support Sprint variants. They just iron out their own variants first. I do hear the partitions are the pretty much the same for Intl, AT&T, T-mobile and Sprint. mike1986 believes his ROM should work for the Sprint variant but im not that brave yet to make sure. LOL

I'm in no hurry. There is a honeymoon period with a new phone for me.
I was just curious as to why different carriers tend to make you jump through hoops.
I guess the WiFi tethering is a good example?

His 3.0 did not work on sprint, but I see he has a 3.1 I will give that one a try right now, it looks like he completely reworked it.

Actualy it might work because I had the boot loop he fixed.

Software Channel is "na"

I purchased a G6 Project-Fi edition.
Re-flashed it to stock. Now my software channel is "na"
The phone is stuck on the May update (OPS27.82-72)
When I try to update it says it's up to date.
What does the software channel "na" mean?
How can I get it to a software channel that receives OTA updates?
Also how can I do this all without data loss?

first: why did you re-flash to stock and how did you do that? what's your phone model and what was the build number before you re-flashed it?

If you use a Project-Fi phone as an unlocked phone, text and other features do not work.
I used build OPS27.82-72 found on XDA. Still does not answer what the "na" channel is or how I can flash to another build without data loss.

You really should answer peoples questions. They are trying to help you.
As for the phone, again, why are you flashing stock? The Project-Fi variant is most likely stock anyways other than a Project-Fi app possibly(pretty sure there is one to manage your service but I may be wrong.
What is the software channel? It tells carriers what region of the world your phone is designed for. For example, if it is set to retla, this is a Latin American channel and would not receive carrier updates if you were using it on a US-based carrier. I am pretty confident a google search for "software channel android" would have answered your question about 7 hours ago when you asked it. Why wait 7 hours for a response when Google can instantly answer your question. Even if you have to check out a few sites to get a proper answer, it is faster than waiting 8 hours on a response.
Now with that said, you can try booting into your bootloader and execute this command:
Code:
fastboot oem config carrier retus
Reboot and see if that changes anything.
It would be a good idea to link to the thread containing the firmware you flashed as well.

Man, between you and the first guy, I'm not even sure why I bother to ask the question. Last I checked the title of the forum was Questions and Answers...
I've got the question part down, but seems like I cannot get a straight answer.
My question, what does the software channel "na" mean? I know what a software channel is and how it works. I'm not asking that, what I am asking is what does the channel "na" represent.
If your so confident in Google, use it to answer my question... I tried with no avail. I got close with this article, https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/identify-software-channel-t3555285 , but na was not listed.
Also I can wait, 7 hours, 7 day, who cares as long as I can get an answer and not some snarky comments.
Now to answer some more questions that do not help to get me an answer...
The Project-Fi version is more than an unlocked phone with an app. I thought the same as well, but when you put in a SIM card from another carrier text messages do not work. (Even with the correct APN settings). My guess it has to do with the way the service bounces from one carrier to another.
I don't remember the firmware I flashed, it was months ago. I do know it was signed and official Moto firmware.
Thank you for the fastboot command, I will try that and see what it does.

You don't see it listed because it's not a an actual channel. It means n/a as in not applicable. Given nothing works somebody such as yourself should be able to figure this out and realize something is wrong with your radio software or hardware wise. Maybe it's because you swear the Moto G6 fi is different than all the others G6's and you flashed firmware from a standard G6 which has different hardware? But if that's the case tell me what the specs are of the G6 fi vs the G6? You only need to list the differences.
There is a number of reasons I asked for the link to stock. However since you want to be have an attitude, and you have all the answers(research the G6 fi vs the G6 and you will understand) I guess you don't need to post here for help. You should have all the answers already.
BTW, how'd that fastboot command work out?
Sent from my Moto G6 Plus using XDA Labs

I never said "nothing works", What I said is the Project-Fi variant does not work as an unlocked phone. Calls and data work, but messages do not. It's even on its own Project-Fi software channel. Hardware wise its all the same. I would love to know how the Project-Fi phones handle SMS that is different that an unlocked phone, but that wasn't the question asked.
Now, once the phone was flashed to a non-Fi firmware everything works. Well, just not updating. My guess is since the phone does not have a valid channel it cannot update.
Phone is out of my posestion at the moment, hence why no update, but as soon as I get it back I will let you know.
Quick question, the bootloader is locked, I assume the fastboot command needs an unlocked bootloader?

asking AGAIN someone please answer

Ok so I have derived that my phone is what I believe to be the Hanna variant through searching on Google . But I am unclear as to what to use for root and recovery here. Because all Hanna version list as cricket metro PCs or TMobile variants and I have boost Mobile variant XT1924-8. I can figure out the rest if someone will just ask my stupid question for me.

im on james models, a tmobile variant and a metro variant (same 1921-) but i flash same roms to both (both are gsm though.)
that being said; I have flashed cdma variant (vzw/sprint/BOOST) and i had no signal even after doing a network reset.
so I do not THINK the cdma vs gsm roms can cross flash. I may be wrong, just stating what I've experienced when I tried it.

CDMA and gsm are completely different networks. It's like trying to connect Xfinity cable through a dish Network satellite dish.
For future reference.
How vol down and power until you land in the bootloader and there you'll find your variant if you're unsure..

thanks for reviving a 3month old dead thread to ACTHACTULLY it up... You are an honor and a gentleman, thank you for explaining the difference between the two technologies in clear in concise terms.... (Oh wait you really didn't add any new information or explain anything, all you did is revive a 3month almost 4 thread to reiterate the obviously inferred information that the radios are different, hence the reasons the cross flash does not work. BUT OBVIOUSLY someone as cultural, artistic and intelligent as yourself would have caught that already right? RIGHT...
He obviously knew his variant was 1924, so thanks for mansplaining how to get into bootloader... As if any one asked..
For future reference, 1924 is Hannah based and 1921 are James.... Make sure variant is right for your antenna and sim.

First of all, the dude said he thinks he has his varient from trying to figure it out on Google.
The bootloader literally tells you exactly which device you have.
No need for Google lol
And the reason I answered an old thread (and made it clear that I see it's old) is because there are a million unanswered questions on here!
Seriously..... ?
