Help Needed with Samsung G920P after root

[lovemusafir]

Hi Guys, I know I am an idiot for not following all those guides properly and now I think I have bricked my device?

Well I am in Australia and I have this G920P model on android 5.1.1 (Unrooted). All was working fine, I bought it second hand from someone, I believe this is a U.S Sprint version, But I had my Telstra sim working in it with 4g data without issues.

So I decided to root it (without backing up- I know my mistake) and then flash XtreStoLite rom (again without doing any backup of original Rom). After that My device did not detect my sim card and there is nothing in the IMEI section of the phone.

I tried to flash official G920P rom via odin which installed successfully, and it shows signal on my phone, let me make calls but No Data. Seems like it is not registering my phone on the network properly.

So what have I done to my phone? Any chances to recover it somehow?

Have you the efs folder in your / partition? To check:
-Open any root explorer
-Go to / and check if efs folder exist
-If exists any file into it, tell me.

Thanks for a quick response, I Installed a root browser app and yes I can see EFS folder there and there are a bunch of folders and files in the EFS folder. e.g bluetooth, carrier, cpk, Factoryapp, imei, lost+found.... and so on

Appreciate your help in advance.

Have you checked your apn setting ? Make sure your carriers apn settings are restored.

Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Ok, I have entered my network's pan settings manually and I get can get the data working but it only picks up 3g not 4g. I can make calls too.

But every time i restart the phone it keeps on checking the network status and picks up the signal after 3-4 minutes.

Also its stuck on the Hands Free activation screen and keeps on re-trying it.

Any help would be appreciated if I can get my device back to a normal one. Any other ROM's should i try?

One more question guys, Is there any non - sprint ROM for this device G920P? Because when I bought the device, I had no sprint stuff on it. No boot up splash screen or anything. I did not make note of which build version was it on but it definitely said G920P and it was on android 5.1.1.

Thanks

You may find and extra menu by typing ##scrtn#. I wouldnt reset to defaut as those general would be sprints settings. Try to find your carriers apn settings online.You should be able to cancel the hands free default activation. Are you still rooted?

Hmmm... Go to settings-info and verify if your imei/other address (ex. bluetooth) is correct...

Stock or custom? If i find it i'll give you a notice asap.

I am now on a stock rooted rom. Would prefer to have a rooted rom. I have tried installing renegade but it get stuck on finding network and stuck in a loop.

Imei number is now showing up. But i wonder what version this phone was on when it was unrooted ? As everything was working perfect and i had no traces of sprint either.

I haven't found any custom rom. Only pre-rooted and deodexed rom

Sounds to me like you had the "XtreStoLite Odexed Pure ROM"
