SIM card problem

Hello, I received my Vernee Thor last week. Yesterday when I tried to insert a SIM card (tried both slots) the phone recognized the SIM card, the phone number AND the provider (TELUS) but it refused to connect to the network. Restarting didn't help.

Any idea what's causing that?

(also checked if the frequency is supported, and it is)
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
Hi, call and SMS work? If yes, it's a APN issue or Data is not activate
[Android General] Aesis:
Nothing works. I can't connect to the cellular network itself. The status icon says "No service" I can't make any calls or send SMSs or connect to 4G. When I try to connect to the network (in this case Koodo) there is a loading message saying "Registering on Koodo 4G" I get a message "Can't connect to this network right now. Please try again later"

EDIT: the APN is correct I checked it with official information
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
Do you have imei?

*#06# on the caller app
[Android General] Aesis:
Yes it gives me 2 IMEI numbers and they are identical to the ones on the box
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
So I don't understand... Your sim work on other phone?
[Android General] Aesis:
Yes the sim card works on another phone (the one it was taken from)

I went to test demo cards from different providers. Koodo didn't work, but Fido did for some reason, even though Koodo is affliliated to TELUS and TELUS is in the preferred networks list.
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
Maybe try to connect manually to your provider (sorry I'm french...)
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Maybe try to flash MadOS and see if it works
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
We don't know if he have a Vernee Thor before or after october...
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Well there is a workaround. No?
[Android General] Aesis:
I got it last week.
[Android General] Aesis:
Update:

Fido (affiliated to Rogers): works, 4G frequencies are 1700/2100 MHz AWS on band 4. Rogers is on the "preferred networks" list.

Koodo (affiliated to TELUS): doesn't work, 4G frequencies are 1700/2100 MHz AWS on band 4 as well. TELUS is on the "preferred networks" list as well.

While testing a demo SIM card at Koodo, they also tested the IMEI number. They said "We don't know if it doesn't work, but we don't know if it works either". After doing a manual check of the IMEI numbers, I get the message "device not found"
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Here is your answer :

Phone: Vernee Thor

Carrier Frequencies Fido

Result 2G: 1900Mhz

Result 3G: Device not compatible

Result 4G LTE: Band7-2600MHz

Carrier Frequencies Koodo

Result 2G: Carrier Network does not support 2G

Result 3G: Device not compatible

Result 4G LTE: Device not compatible

www.willmyphonework.net
[Android General] Aesis:
Network:

2G: GSM 900/1900/2100MHz

3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz

4G: FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz

taken from http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_343579.html

EDIT: TELUS also has 2600MHz on band 7.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telus_Mobility
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Dont know. Probably 1 is bad listed

I think the 2600 from Telus is wrong. Or the IMT-E is not working for our Thor
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Check the screenshots of my Thor:

Band 4 LTE is disabled. That is 1700

Band 7 LTE is enabled, but that is 2600

I think Telus would be possible, but Koodoo not. That is only band 4. And that is not available on the Thor.

Could you keep us up to date about the ROM? What works fine, what works better than on stock rom and so on? And - can you choose different ring tones for every SIM? :D

[Android General] Djgui:
Hi guys! Im new here and im kinda new to Android.

I've the Thor With the 7.0 stock ROM and i would like to root it (flash=root?). I know i've to use "twrp" and "supersu" but i dont have the steps to make it work.

Coule u help me or show me a tutorial to achieve it?

Thx
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Twrp you can install with a computer and spflash

After that it is simpel, download the supersu zipfile and flash it by twrp.

But one thing... After you put twrp and root it you cannot update your stock rom anymore!

So be sure if you want that.
[Android General] Djgui:
Thx for the answer but how do i flash the supersu? i dotn understand

Oh ok thx for the warning i didnt know. To remove to root i have to do a factory reset?
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Flash supersu by downloading the zip file from xda-supersu-thread or website. Just do a quick search on xda.

Then with twrp you can install it.
[Android General] Djgui:
OK so after a couple researchs, i see more clear

But i dont know how to install twrp on my device :/ there is an error installing it
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-android-7/
[Android General] RalphMalph:
Which error?
[Android General] Djgui:
ok...i installed the recovery but now for some reason twrp says that i have no os

Apparently i wiped my rom... but thats not the worst, i do the restore option but still got this message, if i wipe the storage it doesnt change it and in the install option i cant find a downloaded rom (says sd storage as 0mb)...

Why did i do something i dont understand!
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
For now you need to flash stock ROM with flashtool

https://yadi.sk/d/88VWDXf33EMpSw
[Android General] Djgui:
Could u show me the steps pls i dont want to break anything more :)

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

oh and its a rar file on the stock rom u gave me and twrp only recognize zip files :/

I managed to install an other rom https://www.needrom.com/download/rr-5-8-3-android-7-1/

i put the rom to the sd card and then installed it on twrp, all went fine ,o error on terminal, but it still boot on the twrp recovery, saying "orange stat, ur device as been unlocked and cant be trusted"

its driving me crazy
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
Because you don't listen me

Stock ROM flash with flashtool (and computer)

Twrp with flashtool

Hi,

I tried to install "aicp_thor_k506_mm-11.0-UNOFFICIAL-20160602.zip" rom (zip) using TWRP recovery but i get bootloop :(

Could you help me?

I did:

- Install Thor ROM Stock (Using Flash Tool) - V

- Install SuperSU (Using TWRP) - V

- First System load (default) - V

- Reboot in Recovery again (TWRP) - V

- Wipe Data (only data on "Advanced Wipe") - V

- Install AICP ROM zip (it did appearently OK, no error messages) - X

- Install GApps (it did also OK) - V

- Reboot.

BOOTLOOP.

hi , today i broke my lcd + digitizer from my thor ( pre october version ), if u buy the screen and the digitizer will i need further drivers? Do i need to flash the stock rom because now i have madOS rom ? thanks in advance.
[Android General] nikoonek:
I guess screen comes apart from the actual device's system, if you replace the screen, i don't think you need to add further drivers.
[Android General] nickpaokgrq:
The only thing that is broken is the outer glass, the touch works fine, and the screen is ok. Can i change only that? is this the digitizer?? if yes how can i do that? how does this thing if i buy it sticks to the lcd from the time that there are no screws. the only videos that are available are to chang e the whole front panel+digitizer+screen ( it is already assembled). thanks in advance once again
[Android General] nickpaokgrq:
hi, i would like to ask you if the thor has mhl support, if not, is the support kernel side or hardware? or both?

Screen and capacitive buttons not working

Hi!

I think im gonna need some help with my device.

I had a rooted Thor for a couple of months, but decided to unroot it. I simply used the SuperSU Full unroot option as seen in the youtube video "Switch from SuperSU to Magisk & Pass SafetyNet [How-to]" (can't post link as new user) at 3:30.

Phone shut down, then stuck in a bootloop. Nice. Then i tried flashing some stock ROM with MTK, and the phone works -- kinda. The phone boots, but the capacitive buttons do not react at all, and my touchscreen is messed up, meaning it reacts as if it was seriusly miscalibrated. For example, i use the Power hardware button, the Power menu comes up. To actually trigger the Power off option, i need to touch at the left side of the screen in line with the option. To click Ok after that, i need to touch above the OK button & to the left.

I ran a Root integrity check from the Recovery menu, result is "System check SUCCESS!!", so i might claim warranty, but if possible, i want to save this device.

What could be the problem, and how could i solve it? If you need any more information, feel free to ask.

Thank you!
[Android General] nJoy-Android:
I think you flashed a firmware for an older device. There are 2 types of phones with different hardware (digitizer an display, I think).

I tried 2 different versions. Ill try a few other and report back with the results.
[Android General] Ashoggar:
No luck so far. Tried all the available stock roms from needrom, a few costum roms too, none of them worked with my screen. The hardware is not damaged, thats 100% sure, so it is some software issue. Too bad i forgot to make a TWRP backup before starting the whole process...

So, any other idea what may cause this behavior?
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
I think you make something, I change my lcd and all is working find ( pré oct phone with after october lcd)

I flash this rom

https://www.needrom.com/download/vernee-thor-2/
[Android General] Ashoggar:
I flashed the same ROM, didn't work. The screen worked as i started unrooting the phone with SuperSU. Then reboot->bootloop->stock ROM-->screen not working

I think my device is post-october, but im not sure. Any way to check it without using the touchscreen? I might try a USB mouse, if i can find one.

Edit: also, screen doesnt work in TWRP rec, so i can only operate with the stock recovery.
[Android General] billouetaudrey:
On flashtool you can choose format but you need to restore your imei
[Android General] Ashoggar:
Yes, ive read about that option. I don't really know anything about te process tho, so i guess i will return the device hoping i didn't void the warranty and they repair/replace it. If they don't, im gonna try the format method as it seems to be kind of a worst case scenario.

Hello,

i have an issue with my Vernee Thor, i hope you can help me.

My Network Operator is Vodafone Germany and all bands are supported. A change between “preferred network type” 4G and 3G does not change anything, the

phone does not change the network. Between 3G and 2G it change immediately, but not to 4G/LTE. In the “preferred networks” there was not Vodafone DE and nothing with 4G. Do I change the Card to another provider there was 4G immediately. I have an Video send to vernee with the problem, but still now no answer. Can anyone help me?

[Android General] azbest_hu:
Hi,

I'm using Vodafone Hungary. Here when you insert your sim card into a phone that has 4G support, it is first uses only 3G. But after few hours or few days Vodafone detects that I have a 4G capable phone and it will be enabled automatically. An SMS is coming with welcome and instructions to reboot your phone when Vodafone detected the 4G capability.

Also I had a 12 years old sim card, that had to be replaced first to a new one that supports 4G. If you have an old sim card, ask your operator to replace it.

Hi,

i installed TWRP and root on my Vernee Thor. How I can now install the new OTA update without losing my setting?
[Android General] nJoy-Android:
I had the same problems.

First I have uninstalled xposed, then flashed stock recovery, and the last was unroot with supersu (in the menu of supersu, there is an option to completely uninstall).

Before I have done this, I took a backup with TWRP included data partition.

Now I started the the OTA update.

The phone reboots. But after a few seconds, the Android robot with open front door give me an error. After reboot I looks like installed the updated. But I don't trust this.

After that, I downloaded the stock rom from Vernee homepage and installed this through the local update (same as online update, but you have to click in the right top corner and choose local update - make sure you have this stored on internal memory, not external sd).

After that, I was able to get the three OTA updates. Restoring data partition through twrp and you have your data back
[Android General] mucalov:
1) remove SD card

2) flash stock rom with FlashTool, uncheck userdata

3) get and install wireless update(s)

Sorry, but are you serious? Are you joking with me? Find me a device in the 100$ range that gives you better "experience" compared to Thor.

I have it from the beginning (and i'm the author of Twrp recovery) and i'm extremely satisfied on performance, quality and user experience of stock rom updated with add on and Dolby Atmos.. So it doesn't matter if CM13 will arrive in three months or never...

I try a different chinese smartphone almost every week, i didn't find anything comparable, only Infocus v5 in this price range is far better, but has weak battery..

Yes, pay attention, seems to have bad behavior when you try to harvest on system files and configuration...

Except scrolling.

I would agree, if it didnt have the touch issues.

I prefer to spend a little more and get a phone that works as it should (Redmi 3 pro) than have real trouble actually using the phone.
[Android General] olus:
yes, im serious. i use the phone daily. its very good for hundred bucks.

i have the touchscreen issue, too. tuned it a little bit with xui-mod but its still annoying when scrolling.

i hope cm13 will fix some issues.

im running cyanogenmod on all my devices since the first samsung galaxy s 6 years ago..

with cm13 they would sell more than twice they sold until now. but without they lied again. basta

i was really impressed when i first used my thor with overall performance and vanilla android (coming from nexus 6 running cm13 and sometimes N preview). i dreamed about cm13 running on it. this will bump thor to best smartphone <200$.
