Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code

Hi, I recently pruchased a Samsung Galasxy S6 Edge and bought a unlock code from eBay. When trying to enter USSD codes I get the same error everytime 'Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code'.
I have looked online and tried the common fixes but no joy. Even trying to run a basic *#06# gives the same error. I have tried using a combination of + and , etc before the first digit and after the whole string but still get the same error.
Any ideas? It's driving me mad.
Cheers

With some carriers external codes wont work, so which network is the phone locked to? Contact whoever it is and get it unlocked that way.
Good luck
Hi Duncan, many thanks for your reply. I didn't realise that, I will contact Vodafone in that case. Many thanks.

No worries dude and dont feel you got ripped off, its just some external codes dont work.

Lost my imei on z2 & no signal

Hi every body... This my first participation here and i don't know if it is the right place to share my problem with..
But i hope you help me with it.. So here it is: my friend install a new rom for my sony z2 but i think he did it in a wrong way cause after that there was a message tell me the the software update had failed.. So i didn't know what should i do.. And i tried to fix theat issue using pc comopanion and it seems that fixed the problem until i login after it finished to find out that the phone lost its imei number and i can't enter to my mobile network at all .. ie no signal and mobile not recognize sim card... So how can i fix this damm problem.. ?? i still have imei number on word file if this can help..
And thanks any way
I think your friend should install z2's original rom then it may be fix . Most probably your new rom has bugs so phone does not recognize your sim card .

Nubia z11 mini - NX529F - Telephony services lost

The short history:
Playing with an "official" ROM I bricked my phone. I was able to recover it, everything works properly except the telephony, I can't make phone calls :crying:.
The full story:
The behaviour of my phone is different depending on which slot I put my SIM card.
If I put my SIM on the first slot, when the phone reboots it doesn't ask for the PIN and doesn't recognise the card. But if I switch to plane mode and I reboot the phone, the phone then asks for the PIN number. If I introduce an incorrect one, it recognises that it is incorrect ans ask for a new one (then it is reading the card to know that), but when I introduce the correct one, it does no connect whit my carrier (of course, before that I switch off the plane mode).
If I put my SIM on the second slot, it asks for the PIN number but similarly to the previous case, It doesn't connect with the carrier.
In both cases dialling *#06# on the phone, I can read the two IMEI and the MEID codes and they agree with the codes printed on the phone box.
Moreover, if I install an app (I tested with some of them) that reads the SIM card it can read the name of my carrier and all the contacts that are on my SIM.
Things that I tried:
0) I tried to use my SIM in another phone, and it works. I also tried to use another SIM in my phone, and I have the same problem.
1) I tried to install several ROM's:
- Jeff72ROM (v1.30 and v1.32) from: http://www.needrom.com/category/zte/serial-nubia/z11-mini/
- stock ROM from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=776504&st=0#entry52586301
- And experimental port of CM14 (I can't remember where I found it)
- CUOCO92 from http://blog.grossoshop.net/nubia-z11-mini-rom-gs-by-cuoco92/
- An "official" ROM: NX529J_Z69_EN_NSXPK1JD00K132 from http://www.nubia.com/es/support.php?a=phone&pid=8 (this is the ROM that bricked my phone, I modified it in order to avoid the problem).
To install all these ROM I used TWPR from http://www.androidbrick.com/download/z11-mini-nx529j-twrp-root/
When I dial *#*#4636#*#* on the phone it says that the type of preferred net is WCDMA. It seems to me that these nets are not in use in Europe (I live in Spain). Itried to change that, but I couldn't. Then I applied the patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689 but it doesn't work. I also tried to modify the properties in "build.prop" without success. Now I think this is not the problem since all the ROM's have similar properties, in special CUOCO92 that is reported to work in Italy.
What I think it happened:
When I tried to flash the "official" ROM it failed because it tried to write too many files in the "system" partition (I hadn't this problem with any other ROM). Then I realised that my phone was bought in China and this ROM was for the international version, perhaps the international version has a different partition scheme).
What I did is to remove some very easy to install apps (i.e. google maps) in the ROM in order that the remaining apps fit in the partition, but then I made the mistake to activate the option in TWPR of making "rm -rf" instead of a "format". It seems to me that with this option the rm command followed some link to another partition and removed some files that shouldn't be removed, and those files are not in any ROM.
Does anybody think that this makes sense?
What can I do?
nice, super description. i am stuck with my nubia z11 mini, brought from china. installed 1.23, recently updated new 1.36 but there is no google play, other all working perfectly.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
Thanks in advance, F.

@jbartolo
I have the NX529J and the option wasn't changed, it was still format. I don't think the problem is related to the partition.
@jbartolo
Any news about your z11?
Did you manage to fix it?
I have the same problem.

No solution :crying:
I had access to another z11 mini and a played copying partitions from this phone to my phone without success.
@jbartolo
Since you can have access to another z11 mini please check these guides
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload_edl/
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...agon-xiaomi-mi5-imei-and-baseband-repair-fix/
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-guide-qualcomm-snapdragon-imei-baseband-repair-fix-part-2/
Also you will see more guides in the mentioned site and maybe you can fix your phone. Unfortunately i dont have access to another z11 mini to try. Wish you good luck.
@jbartolo
I did some progress with my phone.
I flash it with the chinese 1.23 rom(its the one in fastboot structure as i understand,a service rom) using Xiaomi's MiFlash tool.
Phone came up with null IMEI'S and MEID. Then i write missing IMEI'S & MEID ,with some tools from the site i mentioned you in my previous post.
So everything is in place now. IMEI'S & MEID.
Now when i dal *#06#* and *#*#4636#*#* i can see Imei's & Meid.
Also i can change the option from WCDMA preferred to other options and stick with them (*#*#4636#*#*) and i can see in phone settings and SIM menu all the options.
Both sim trays read my sim and ask for pin.
In SIM menu, i can search for avalaible carriers but the only problem now is that when i'm trying to connect to my sim carrier unfortunately phone can't register to my carrier.
I'm trying to figure out how to solve this issue.
You can try what i did and maybe you are more lucky than me and can fix your phone.
Hope to hear from you soon and maybe we can share some more ideas.

Take a look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-z7/help/nubia-z7-nx506j-qcn-backup-t3566808. Might help you guys with the problem you are facing. Most important part is you need a working qcn backup from another device

You could contact the owner of www.androidbrick.com in case he has one. Or you can ask @jbartolo to provide a backup of his other device. Taking a qcn backup is a pretty simple procedure
@efrai3 Just contacted him again and he was happy to share with me a qcn backup for your device
You can contact him too and ask for one! He will be glad to help!

Thanks to my friend tassos_chry, my phone is fixed.
problem solved: Z11 mini working again
All,
the AndroidBrick method worked.
First I tried it with my own qcn backup but that didn'twork. I received a qcn (Chinese, 64 GB) from AndroidBrick and I followed the repair guide. My Nubia Z11 mini is working again.
The solution for our problem is that you need a qcn backup from a working phone because when you install the wrong rom (international version) the modemst-partions are corrupt.
I'll prepare a backup qcn from my phone (changed IMEI) and I can send it to you.
Send me a mail at [email protected].

Hello Filip,
Would you help me, please? I need the same chinese 64GB qcn file you got from AndroidBrick too!
I followed the same repair guide on AndroidBrick (using a vietnamite qcn file I just download) with no success because when I started restoring the qcn I received a message that My Phone is not compatible and after rebooting ...adviced me 2 times that the update did not success.
I will be happy to give my email address for your (or even other God) help.
Have a nice day and a good way
