Check gsm only mode if you don't have 3g,if still not resolved contact your mobile operator

Note: This IMEI number seems to be correct, but we do not have any information on this specific handset. Please add the missing information below.

I don't know if you tried to pull out the simcard and clean the contacts. This was a common issue on the HTC Desire HD and this little fix worked fine.

Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?

[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

Ok,
so here comes the question my girlfriend always asks me :laugh:
"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?

I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.

Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.

Probably wrong Kernel, happened often to me on my old sensation

What network are you on? I had to go to t mobile web site to get configuration settings sent to phone. All was then ok. You are not providing enough information, Network, whether phone had ever worked, if it has been modified in any way etc.etc.
People here will help you but you really must give as much relevant information as possible
