Ohhkay then... Let's get done for you what you wanted here... full change to VZW as your CSC --- You're not far off - CCT, is Xfinity Mobile - which is an MVNO that runs exclusively on the Verizon (VZW) network so I guess it was close- It would only have switched again if the phone had Xfinity sim into a device with relevant multi-CSC firmware... That being said, - If you want to switch it to Verizon on a device with either the multi-rom XAA or the VZW ROM that you flashed plus a SIM from the relevant network - or if you're a crazy like me who like to use 2 different CSC's on a dual-sim device - you don't even need more codes of SamKey -- do the following methodology and you should get what you want.

Using Google's phone dialer or a dialer of your choice that allows codes to be initialized - if you have stock Samsung phone you can try this minus the outside set of *# #* and see what you get...

Enter the Service Mode on your device as follows: Using the dialer from above type into ita *#*#276633683782#*#* -- This is for Android 11 OneUI 3.0+ take off the 2 for an older version Samsung device if you want to generalize my instructions.

You will enter the engineering menus at (5) RF TEST -- You may not use your normal back key to navigate here, you will exit the menus... Instead you will select the 3 dots top right corner which gives you the options - END, BACK, HELP, WIFI -- End/Back are going to be the ones that are relevant - don't bother with help it's not helpful... ;) Back - the obvious, END, kicks you out of engineering and back to your phone.

Select your only choice - 5 RF TEST - and then a couple more random things (DON'T mess with the settings unless you know what it does) until it kicks you back to the full main menu.

It's going to have options 1-7 and say MAIN MENU at the top - You will be selecting option 1 - PROTOCOL STATE , then at the following menu Select 6 - PROTOCOL SIMULATION which you select and then you will be brought to a 3 option PROTOCOL SIMULATION menu -- Select 2 IMEI PRE CFG SIMULATION - which will take you to a 5 option menu - AP - (YOUR CURRENT CSC) --> and then you get to choose CSC options that you have available to simulate - but the thing is when you reboot after simming it, it will change your CSC settings for real if you've got a SIM and ROM from VZW or the Multi carrier XAA rom. - If you've got a verizon sim you should be able to change the 2 options CSC of AP and NET1 to VZW which will put you where you need to be - or some of the other US carriers... - Change the top 2 (or 3 if you have a dual sim device setup) CSC's to your preference - write them, reboot, It'll see your sim and change to your VZW network you wanted in the first place.

Let me know how this goes for you - I've done everything you can do with that phone - if you've got the right ROM on there which do - I'll bet you can get it to a VZW stock device - install their apps, delete their bloatware with the ADB command line, and you should be good.

Good luck bud, Let me know how it goes..

The first step gets me in HW test, and then I can't get anywhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
You aren't going to get locked out because you are going to get rid of that RoM that Comcast and Verizon have done a number on you got a proceed by a cross flashing your device which is hardware identical to the U1 unlocked device with the US multi-rom which is the XAA ROM available on samfw.com. Search sm-A505U1 then XAA there will be a bunch of cscs in most every us provider but that's what the xaa multi-rom does.. it gives you an unbranded device and then when you put in that Verizon sim you should switch you over automatically.. in other words with a SIM card from Verizon you should end up with the VZW CSC accordingly... But if not you can use the two methods one of Sam key you certainly welcome to have another credit or two if you need them. You're not going to break your device or leave it permanently locked and you're not getting much utility out of the damn thing anyway as is but I've done Chimera on flashing I've done all sorts of crazy things to the Samsung devices and you really they're pretty hard to break if you really really know what you're doing and how to restore things even from the Qualcomm edl mode I mean that modem is always listening for something you got to cross flash to that XAA ROM once you've done that with patched Odin your device will for all intents and purposes be exactly like the unlocked device that somebody bought directly from Samsung in the first place. I'm not going to attach the xaa ROM for obvious reasons but here's the correct Odin.

Yay! success at last. I can't thank you enough. Did what you said, it flashed fine, and inserted my Verizon sim, and the phone switched right over. Phone works, for data, text and voice!

Interestingly enough, the APN section of settings is still greyed out for adding or editing APN's, but since everything is working, I can live with that.

Best of all, no more Xfinity Mobile branding on the phone!

Thanks a million.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
I'm glad you were able to achieve a good outcome finally brother just had to fully understand where we started before we could get to the finish line-

FYI, I think in this case the grayed APN's are because it's actually being managed by Verizon's high permissioned carrier specific app which has the ability to enable/disable settings which it wants to take over itself and manage this 4u - they will send out configuration info over the air and your device will make the adjustment automatically with no intervention required from Joe User. Verizon is notorious for thinking they know better and doing this sort of thing - Xfinity that you had before runs entirely on the VZW network so you probably had the same thing there... you might be able to get em with an management app or a hiddensettings app if you really want to play around with your APN's but Verizon's thing actually does a pretty good job of keeping you on the network at a decent speed - most people wouldn't be able to improve on the verizon privileged app and it's management anyway so there's not much upside to making minor tweaks.

Hope you enjoy your sojourn on the Verizon network

Howdy all-

I have a similar situation....I have a Galaxy A50 that was previously on Xfinity mobile. I just unlocked it with the code Xfinity provided but it is not working on US Mobile for me. No voice, text or data. USMobile tech support says it could take a day or two to "fully" unlock but I think that is a crock of $hit.

I can't change APNs and Network Operator is greyed out and says Xfinity Mobile with the new US Mobile SIM card installed.

It's my son's phone and I really do not want to wipe it to make it usable on US Mobile. Any way to adjust the settings without wiping the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
So you have an unlocked phone orignating with Xfinity Mobile -

I'll tell ya that's a complete crock of **** - just a phone rep not wanting to ruin his call stats actually trying to solve your problem - they don't have the knowledge to do it anyway so don't worry about it. So you want to get it to work on US Cellular's network without any love - which version of Android is it running? 10?

Tell me what it says in the APN if you have access to APN settings... What I'm asking is does it have any correct settings for US Mobile, or is it still pointing to the Xfinity servers (Verizon) because that could very well be the issue is that your phone needs to be provisioned on the network.

I assume your US Mobile sim is active, just not connecting in that hardware? type into the Samsung dialer (Phone) if you haven't changed anything, *#4636#* put another set of *# #* on the outside if you're using google dialer, shift the cell info refresh rate toggle to immediate, and tell me which toggles are set to provisioned. Go ahead and scroll down to the bottom, trigger a carrier provisioning event there and let's see if that gives us anything.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] ClockerXP:
Thanks for taking the time to try to help me out.

I can get to the APN setting screen but when I get there, all that I see is that it says " Access Point Name settings are not available for this user " . I cannot add or edit anything like I have done on other phones (like my GS9 for example).

It is running Android 11 and I 'unlocked' it using the code provided by Xfinity Mobile although it seems the code does not fully unlock the thing.

I'm trying to get it to work on US Mobile by the way NOT US Cellular (they are different, right?)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
Obviously we

Yes they are certainly different US Mobile is an MVNO that operates on Tmobile and Verizon, so thanks for making that clear. OK so your phone is unlocked for network but Verizon/Xfinity (operates on Verizon network exclusivey) like to mess around with their roms and there's a secondary lock sometines on these devices which greys out the APN - they dont want the end user to be able to mess with it... first of all do you have the option to reset the APN settings? Sometimes that will push it out as it did for the OP of this thread. I'm not sure I've ever seen a viable solution to access this greyed out APN so type in the code *#4636#* in the default samsung phone dialer and down at the bottom trigger carrier provisioning and see if you can get US Mobile to push out a new APN to your phone first of all. Sorry for the double post - thought the first one was lost. Had a connectivity issue myself... LOL
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
Yes they are indeed 2 separate providers, the one you are trying is an MVNO which operates on T-Mobile and Verizon - so good news at least the device is compatible... LOL... so put in the code that I edited my first post to show you *#*#4636#*#* in the google dialer, or if you still have the default Samsung phone app take off the outside set of *# #* and tell me which toggles are on, you can change which bands it operates on, do a ping test for data connectivity, and down at the bottom you should be able to trigger carrier provisioning - do that please, pull the simcard, put it back in, then reboot your device and tell me if any connectivity was restored first of all - that would mean the APN was pushed out by the network to your device. Verizon & Xfiniity have a secondary lock on the APN they **** around with their ROMS so people have a hard time using a device on another network. Annoying. But we'll get it. Let me know where we stand.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] ClockerXP:
Well...I have used that code before on other phones to find out how it is locked etc. When I put it in on the A50, absolutely nothing happens now, unfortunately. I did do the code before the phone was unlocked and the phone was still on Xfinity, and the only lock that was present was the carrier lock. When I got the unlock code from Xfinity and started the phone with a new SIM from USMobile, I did get the prompt for the unlock code and entering the provided code seemed to get me past the Carrier lock. But...still in my current OP situation...
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] ClockerXP:
Hello,

Thank you so much!!! I don't have access to the phone for a few days so I will have to follow up on Friday!

Thanks again,

Sorry bud I would've preferred to go back and forth with you here until we got it off your plate but the Holiday host with the most fell to me this year... LOL :) Your son's probably anxious to have his device up and going - so you let me know on Friday when you are ready and I'll have a much more condensed list.. I'd love to make it something easy with codes on the device, but do have some specialized technical boxes that WILL get it done for you 100% thanks for your patience, this has happened to a lot of people so It's time to solve it for the community.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] ClockerXP:
So...my son decided it is time to spend some of the $ he's been saving and upgrade. As a result he'll be getting a GS20 FE 5G. Once he has the new phone, I will SmartSwitch over the A50 to the S20FE.

At that point, I'll be free to do as I please with the A50, so I will try wiping it first to see if that fixes the APN problem - and then you/we can experiment to figure out how to get this done for the community. If you think I should not wipe the phone for whatever reason, just let me know. My goal will be to have the A50 as a backup phone for him.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] joshcsmith13:
FYI, for anybody who is interested, I worked with US Mobile support for over an hour yesterday and we actually got this to work! (Xfinity Galaxy A50 running on US Mobile "Super LTE" network)

I had to download 2 custom apps: "Force LTE Only (4G/5G)" by Xsquare Studio & AddAPN by NYBLNET LTD.

First, we used Force LTE to change the network to LTE Only. That didn't really seem to fix anything, so I'm not sure if it's required.

Then, we used AddAPN to add 4 APN entries for US Mobile. *Note - these entries do NOT show up in the Access Point Names settings screen, but they obviously got entered. AddAPN allows you to put in one entry and save it, then it closes.

As per US Mobile support, I added the following APN entries, in this order (do not enter anything in the other fields):

#1

APN name:Verizon CBS

APN:VZWAPP

MMSC:http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MCC:311

MNC:480

APN type:cbs,mms

APN Protocol:iPv4/iPv6

APN Roaming Protocol:iPv4/iPv6

#2

APN name:Verizon IMS

APN:VZWIMS

MCC:311

MNC:480

APN type:ims,ia

APN Protocol:iPv4/iPv6

APN Roaming Protocol:iPv4/iPv6

#3

APN name:Verizon FOTA

APN:VZWADMIN

MCC:311

MNC:480

APN type:fota

APN Protocol:iPv4/iPv6

APN Roaming Protocol:iPv4/iPv6

#4

APN name:Verizon 2

APN:vzwinternet

MMS port:80

MMSC:http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MCC:311

MNC:480

Apn protocol:iPv4/iPv6

Apn roaming protocol:iPv4/iPv6

APN type:default,supl,mms

Reboot the phone.

Presto!

Awesome. Thanks. Worked great for me!

By the way, I skipped the Force LTE Only app and it worked fine. Nice to have a spare USMobile capable phone now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] sunbeam2cv:
I know I am many months late to the party !

I have followed this thread with great interest! I have a Galaxy A50 from Xfinity mobile that they unlocked when I left and I was able to succesfully use it on MVNO USMobile. This involved using an Add APN app and Force LTE app that also came from this thread.

However I do not have WiFi calling and the boot screen still shows Xfinity mobile when i first boot the phone. I can succesfully use the Patched Odin tool and I can find the CSC Roms from Sammobile to flash but when I try to flash the U1 XAA I get a Check Fail (Bootloader) error Device 18, Binary 17. I think this is telling me that the XAA ROM is not as new as the phone is at? I also dont seem to be able to revert the phone to an earlier level. Any tips on getting a U1 XAA ROM that will work? I really want to get WiFi calling working. Currently there is no option to turn it on in the settings. USMobile says it is on from their side.

BIG THANKS for any help
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] joshcsmith13:
Here's the million dollar question: now that I got the phone to work on US Mobile, by adding APNs and forcing LTE, what if I want to use it on Xfinity again??

I put a working [BYOD] Xfinity SIM card back in the A50 (2 years later) and it can't get mobile data. ☹

Voice, Text, & MMS all work.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] joshcsmith13:
To answer my own question... apparently Xfinity/Verizon changed the name of their data APN while this phone was dormant. (https://forums.xfinity.com/conversa...ng-on-android/6399d85d86efae732c83bcf7?page=2)

All I had to do was change the name of the one accessible APN from COMCAST.RSLR.VXWENTP (or something like that) to VZWINTERNET. Thankfully, I could make that change from the standard network settings interface and didn't have to use any special tools or apps.

Simply plug in an otg cable with an qtg mouse and hit cancel to enter twrp. This will only work if the exploit is still within the device.

A little trick is to install Powermenu little vic apk from apk pure, give him root permissions and you can use this to boot to recovery from fireos/Launcher homescreen.

HTC Touch Dual (Unlocked) + 1GB MicroSD + TomTom 6 + all accessories + original box (which was Orange).

TouchFLO 2D DIAMOND SKIN LITE Installed.

Unlocked Using OliPro's Unlocker.

Rom Version: 1.31.61.10.

Radio Version: 1.74.OliNex.

Comes with all things that were in the original box.

Comes with lots of programs installed.

Temperamental fault with the phone, the signal reception is a tad weak hence the low price. Most likely a problem with the antenna. At the moment I have 3 bars of signal and EDGE reception, but if i move 5m it goes down to 2 bars and then gets GPRS etc... thats an example of the reception. Some times it works fine, other times it doesn't receive reception.

Would accept exchange for a working HTC phone such as a Hermes, Kaiser, Wizard, Diamond..? or £80 ono.

Great condition, comes in original Orange box with headphones, charger, extra stylus etc...

[General Questions and Answers] :
hi everyone.

recently, I installed a custom twrp version that is ported to my device.

i used to be skeptical about this but now that i know what spywares can do with your privacy I started to really worry about "ported" recoveries.

i was just wondering if there was a way they could fit a virus into a ported twrp for example?
[General Questions and Answers] DragonPitbull:
Yes No Maybe.

It all depends on the source of the file and who made this PORT.

If the person is trustworthy, nothing to fear. Of course, it also depends on whether that person has the TWRP file base as trustworthy.

TeamWin folks generally don't do any nonsense. But any malicious person with knowledge can put a malicious script in the TWRP or any option desired by the user can lead to a bad action.

As you can see, the doubts will be great even if someone with a mind for crack does that. There is usually nothing to worry about if you have the stock ROM files.

In addition, most actions are done by the user himself and not by applications (malicious or not).

The best way to know is to test the functionality of TWRP and if you notice something different to what it was thought of or behaving strangely, then stay tuned. If you are knowledgeable and know how to use TWRP then you will know how to differentiate what is good or what is bad.

Another way is to place the ported TWRP file for a developer or person with experience to analyze if there is any different script that causes something bad.

My POV: As long as Android OS didn't get tampered ( e.g. bootloader unlocked, rooted, dm-verity disabled, etc.pp ) noone must fear his/her device can get infected with malware ( viruses included ).

BTW:

Malware like viruses are known to perform repeated tasks that can take up resources on your devices. Signs of malware may show up in these ways.
