My friend has a TMO 4a 5G that will allow a computer to connect to it for a hotspot, but will not provide internet access. The computer gets an IP but it's like NAT isn't working. Has anyone run in to this issue before or know of a fix? The phone is stock with a TMO e-sim.
No issues here on MetroPCS/T-Mobile... Stock... Not rooted... Locked bootloader... Regular (nano) sim
bobtheelf,
Can you tell me what Build Number you have on your phone.
Thanks

Hello everyone! I'd like to know if any of you know why my Sony Xperia Z C6603 does not detect or does not want to connect to 4G LTE or networks above 2G-EDGE technology. It detects my home network as 2G but the rest it detects them as 4G or 3G, but because of my SIM card I can't switch to any of them of course :/ I've already flashed my phone with no positive outcome... The problem still persists. What can I possibly do?
Thank you all so much in advance for your help! Let me know if anything from my phone (like IMEI or other stuff) is needed to help fix this issue ^^

Have you tried different operator sim?

Well I did try another SIM, but from my same carrier. I tested that Sunday when I took my phone to my carrier's offices to check if the problem was theirs. They put my SIM card in another phone and it worked on the other phone, while they put a test SIM card on my phone and it didn't work :/
I'll be attempting a bootloader unlock and a complete flash using Sony's EMMA with my phone and see if that solves the issue... I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get, I really don't know what else I can do.

Bootloader unlock is not necessary to flash stock firmware.
Just download firmware ftf file and flash it using flashtool

And you have correct network mode enabled in mobile networks settings? Do you have a correct version of phone for your operater network?

Network mode is LTE yes, and even so, my phone should be able to connect to at least HSPA but it doesn't go through that even :/

Ok... Just flashed with EMMA. Nothing, it's still the same. I did try another SIM card that didn't have LTE capability from another carrier and it did connect through HSPA+ and 3G, but with my SIM card it detects my home network as 2G, it should be letting me connect through HSPA like with my last Sony Ericsson phone, but nothing :/
From what I have read in the ROM forums it appears that you can get around the Boost Mobile network lock by unlocking the bootloader and installing a Lineage based ROM. Can someone confirm this and does anyone know if you can get LTE support of AT&T and T-Mobile this way? Best Buy has them for 79 bucks right now and for that price it sounds like a cheap way of getting very usable backup phone/something to give to the 4th grader to have when she goes over to a friends house. Thanks.
Hey, did you ever get a confirmation on this? Im literally in the same boat, would like to find out!
I didnt read too much and I may be totally wrong, but a quick search told me that I would need to have a working LTE connection on Boost before attempting this, otherwise LTE would not work. If I have to buy a boost card, activate it, then go through all this, I might as well buy the unlocked version for a few bucks more..?
Thanks
Yes, I can confirm. Installing the latest unofficial LineageOS 14.1 on my XT1776 allowed it to finally recognize my Cricket (AT&T Wireless) SIM card. The OEM retail firmware, however, did not work.
Would you be able to link to the threads to install LineageOS? Did you need to activate on Boost before installing the LineageOS?

No, I didn't activate first. LineageOS thread is here.

Just to give an update I bought one at Target with a best buy price match (I had some Target gift cards). Up and running with a T Mobile sim and Resurrection Remix in less than 45 minutes including download everything and installation minimal ADB and Motorola drivers. Coming from an LG G5 I am impressed at what 79 dollars buys. I was interested in an Honor 7x but is hard to justify the extra 125 bucks. Thanks to everyone for the great guides and help. The hardest part was figuring out how to eject the Boost mobile sim card.

Did you have to bootloader unlock and root first to do it? I just ordered a phone from BestBuy. I remember for the Moto E4 Verizon phones that you had remove the prepaid sim before you even power the phone on otherwise it gets locked to Verizon for 6 months. Any gotchas here?
BTW, anyone who want a stock rom, this might help? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75968092&postcount=14

I'm not sure I ejected my sim before turning it on just to be safe.
Does anyone know if this phone once unlocked and LINEAGEOS is installed will work on Verizon?
I would think that it would be fine. It's no different than what I did except it's fir a different network. Mine works with t-Mobile and at&t sims. Haven't tried a Verizon one.

Verizon is CDMA, but I guess it should work since I think Sprint uses their network, too.
So just to confirm, do we have to activate Boost SIM and provision LTE first before unlocking bootloader and flashing LineageOS? The Lineage thread says LTE won't work if we don't provision LTE first before flashing.
I'm on T-Mobile currently and might switch to Cricket in the near future. Thanks.

I took the Boost Mobile SIM out and inserted my T-Mobile SIM before I even powered on the phone for the first time. Notification was there that showed it was invalid (as expected). I connected to my wifi and updated the OS to the latest one. I unlocked the bootloader in the OS setting and by getting the code from Motorolla. Installed TRWP, backed up the stock OS, wiped and installed LineageOS. SIM card worked on T-Mobile immediately and got LTE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: I'm working on another phone and I noticed after it's booted up and I'm past the new install setup steps that it looks like it's connecting to the Sprint network and provisioning even without the Boost SIM card installed. I connected the phone to my wifi during the initial setup so I can update the stock formware before unlocking. I have no idea if that matters. I'm guessing the Linage thread is correct. I suppose it would be bad to boot to fastboot first, unlock, flash recovery and flash lineage without ever first booting the phone up with the stock firmware.

Thank you for the quick reply. Although, I decided to jump in and got the Moto E4 Boost Mobile version for $50 and went through the same process

I have tried multiple compatible sims from Straight Talk (T-Mobile, Verizon, At&t) and At&t. I get Mobile network not available. Running 14.1-20171017-UNOFFICIAL-perry

Maybe you have to manually add the APN settings for Straight Talk? https://www.straighttalk.com/wps/portal/home/help/apn
Nope didn't work for me. I had to pay to get it unlocked

Hello All
Has anyone been able to use hotspot with out activating with the carrier? I have ATT, with my Samsung S5 I was able to us hotspot freely( its just internet!) once I rooted the phone.
On this A71 4G, I can activate the hotspot but once my laptop connects to it I have no internet
Does this mean I must root the phone to unlock the hotspot abilities?
One UI : 2.1
Baseband version: A715FXXU2ATF7
On the root guide I see that it says "WARNING: You can't downgrade anymore once you flashed U2 update !"
I see a U2 so I maybe on that update? Anyone know for sure?
Thanks All!
Ive been having the same exact issue. I have not tried to root though.

Yes, sources say you can get internet if you set up a VPN.
Hi everyone,
Couple of days ago my phone had lost connection to the cellular network on both sims. Just says no service. Tried resetting it to the factory settings and also resetting the connection but to no avail.
Tested the sim cards and both work fine in other phones.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
Contacted Xiaomi but they were less than useless. Kept referring me to how to troubleshoot WIFI connectivity problems although this is not a WIFI issue.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes via official update. I was hoping for a quick fix but I guess will have to do the warranty return.
can you still see your IMEI number? If somehow efs partition got corrupted, you'll lose your imei and hence cannot use cellular networks.
Just claim the warranty, it's easier.
Am currently having issue with Samsung s10 sm-g973n on Android 12. The phone is able to read sim card but its not connecting to network. It shows it has imei. I have tried customs roms eg blastui and still nothing. Any idea how to resolve this?

Am able to flash stock rom but still no network. its says emergency calls only. i tried KOO, SKC flashing completes odin, boots up wells but no gsm network. That's why I even tried custom rom. am able to flash stock back but still nothing.
Am thinking could the issue be around corrupt imei? any ideas how to repair it. or possible csc issue? am currently in kenya. Btw the issue started after last security patch update. possible to downgrade to maybe Android 11? would that help?
Hello Bashir22, your model does not have an Er Europe chip plus a Korean so Europe is not possible with a sim card.
If you put a chip for the Europe network and you have a chip for Asia, it won't work.
My worry is it was working just fine till last update.

Dial *#0011# and check if you have your IMEI Status: OK, if it says anything other than OK then it should be a cert problem.
