My verizon note 4 cannot connect to tmobile after upgraded to lollipop. I can use verizon sim card. Just always no service when i put my tmobile sim card in. I added the apn as suggested still no help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwt767:
this might help, log into your acct. on verizon.com, scroll down to where it shows your devices, click on your device, and listed in the info on the right side of screen should be your PUK, or personal unlock code, you should be asked for this when you try to run a tmobile sim, in a verizon phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiankong:
Thanks for your help. Sorry I did not see any option to input the password. I did some research online. It looks like the PUK password is only for the SIM card, not for the phone. Please advise if I am wrong. I am still stucked.

Would this work of the phone hasn't been activated with a working Verizon Simcard or factory reseted lollipop?

The one i tried was not activated with a verizon SIM an was on Lollipop. It worked with Tmo. after blocking that app.

Possible Solution

If anyone else stumbles upon this having problems, I recommend factory resetting the phone, borrowing a friend's Verizon sim, and activating it. Then just swap the T-Mobile sim in and it should work fine.

Annoying, but at least something works.

i have the same issue

i have the same issue with this. i bought a note 4 off ebay and was told its unlocked, then i get it and it turns out to be a verizon model. it seems to accept other sims but wont get signal. i am trying to use it on an EE sim card. i have tried all of the suggestions but just cant seem to get anything. i tried blocking the apps/processes suggested but it still just has no bars.

i am currently in cyprus, could that be why it wont find a signal (although my sim works fine in my htc one m8). but i have tried a cypriot sim in the note too and that wont get any signal either.

please someone help, the company i bought it off on ebay arent responding to my messages. should a US phone work with a UK sim card?

thanks guys

Any Update?

Hi guys, has anyone came up with a solution to this in the meantime?

Because I just bought a note 4 yesterday and I have exactly the same problem... It is supposed to be unlocked, however it's originally from Verizon so it only displays the message "Sim card not from Verizon" .

Tried all the steps suggested in this post, yet nothing works.

1.Factory Reset phone

2. disable vzw apk through method described using debloater-

3. add apn settings for O2

4. save apn settings

5. Says same thing "searching for service"

6. toggle mobile network type from global to each setting repeatedly.

7. take out O2 sim

Unfortunately I don't have a verizon SIM to activate it with as I live in UK...

Would a root help?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dondyablo:
GUYS HERE IS A VERY MUCH SIMPLER SOLUTION.

you don't need to install or root or do any of that

All you gotta do is do a factory RESET with a Verizon or PAGE plus sim card inside the phone, after resetting the phone go through the initial phone set up/ activation screen. And once you are done you can remove the Verizon sim card and it should now work with any GSM sim card.

It's that simple. It worked on 5 Verizon notes 4 that I tried. We were thinking Verizon started blocking em. But it's not the case. It works with gsm you just gotta know how to follow directions.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaidang27:
--> YES. You are right. The note 4 of Verizon took signal very weak from Tmobile and At&t.

- I confirmed. If you bring your note 4 - N910V to a verizon store, ask them for help (just borrow verizon sim card from a buddy), and Activate the phone with Verizon Sim card. After that, turn off the phone, Put Tmoile or Att sim card in, then Power On. It will work perfectly with .. weak signal, and 4G can not turn on. only 3G or H+ for data. (If you do a Factory Reset, you have to Re-activate with Verizon sim card, that's for real, guys)

- So i decided to re-sell it and buy another one from At&t, Unlock it with 8$ on eBay, then good to go with Tmobile sim card. Never lost 4G or Signal again.

- Thank you all for your help!!!

Regard!

Is it Verizon ROM?

Is it the VZ ROM that's screwing these up from using TM?

I tried an ATT SIM with no issues at all, but using a TM SIM and I get NO SERVICE even after adding their APNs, etc...

I just wish we could load the TM version ROM onto these devices and be done with the carrier wars! :mad:

Well my N4 is doing the same on a Budget Mobile sim. They use T-Mobile towers for service. I get no signal and a notification saying" restricted access changed voice service blocked" as well. I have changed ApN and reset phone to no avail ( been trying to fix this for days so did a lot more too). Sometimes when I restart after changing something it will connect for a minute or so then it drops and notification comes back. Would going back to a 4.x ROM work?

Update: I used an active Page Plus sim. Made a test call. Then I re installed my Budget Mobile sim and it works. Has not locked up in almost 24 hours. Don't know why that fixed it but it did.

Thats weird cause I just got my a unlock gsm Note 4 N910V using a ATT sim card with any problems, I have install on it from 5.01, 5.1.1. and even 6.0 MM

Have the same issue for att. So if I need to activate my phone with a verizon sim, do I have to factory reset, or I just simply insert one verizon sim card? Really don't want to reset my phone at this moment.

I just spent an extra ordinary about of time to get CPD1 (Android 6.0.1) installed, rooted, and everything.

Next problem: I cannot connect to T-Mobile, no phone, no data, no messaging.

There is no APN setting to change or add.

I found an thread talking about disabling a certain Verizon app, but there is no Apps in settings to be able to disable that.

Its like this phone REALLY doesn't want to be on T-Mobile. (People have also reported using a Verizon SIM to connect, then switch to T-Mobile and everything works, until they change something else!)

I cannot find anything else that helps get onto T-Mobile.

Is there a better ROM I can load, that still accesses everything the Note 4 offers and allows me to connect to T-Mobile?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhattan212:
So this problem still is an issue, to date; -even with N910VVZW2CQI2?

Would it be better/safer to use a different ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhattan212:
I just downloaded and flashed the latest SM-910V stock ROM available. After flashing, my phone was using the installed SIM card just fine. However, it was being very sluggish, so I decided to Factory Reset. Once the phone rebooted from Factory Reset, the Setup Wizard displayed a notification about not having a Verizon SIM card, and now the phone won't make or receive calls, and it won't use cellular data.

I have essentially reduced my note 4 to a WiFi device.

I'm not really sure how to proceed.

I imagine I'll have to install some other ROM, but that's probably going to require some boot-loader unlocking procedure. I was really hoping to avoid having to do all that. I just wanted a stock, NON-rooted, standard ROM.

For starters tmobile is a gsm company verizon is cdma while it may be possible to get lte working via there sim no lower bandwidths will. Did you enter tmobiles apn info? You need to do it manually.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toshik1:
I love answering my own questions!

On 6.0.1 SM-N910V in you'll need to add/change the following:

- Network mode: "LTE/GSM/UMTS", but you might as well leave it "Global"

In T-Mobile access point setup add:

- APN protocol and APN roaming protocol: "IPv4/IPv6"

- Bearer "LTE"

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnvu1:
I recently ordered a Droid MAXX from GroupOn (http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-1-motorola-droid-ultra-4g-android-smartphone). Here's the information out the the settings application.

System version: 24.3.7.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US

Model number: DROID MAXX

Android version: 4.4.4

Baseband version: MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.132.81.00R

Kernel version: 3.4.42-g845377b-00002-ge8e2fe0

Build date: Fri Dec 12 20:13:45 PST 2014

Build number: SU6-7

Assembled on: 10/10/2013

I also ordered a T-Mobile (US) nano-sim and dropped it into the SIM slot.

When I boot up (after Factory Data Reset), the Setup Wizard tells me "The SIM card is from an unknown source". If I hit OK then it jumps straight to the home screen.

I go into the Settings application and under Mobile Networks settings I add a new APN with settings from https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090

Name: T-Mobile US

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

APN type: default,supl,mms

When I switch the "Preferred network type" to "LTE/GSM/UMTS" it pops up a dialog box "Network Error - No GSM/UMTS networks were found. Would you like to switch to the Global mode?"

If I hit "OK" then it switches the preferred network type back to Global.

If I hit "Cancel" then it leaves the preferred network type alone - LTE/GSM/UMTS.

When I select T-Mobile as the network it responds with - "Your SIM card doesn't allow a connection to this network"

I've tried this with all the settings under "Select network" - GSM Only / UMTS Only / Automatic. It doesn't matter which one I choose.

Any ideas on how to proceed? This phone was supposed to be already carrier unlocked.
