Hi guys!
Anyone knows what is the file that are used by the SIM to register in network?
My problem is that mine is a unlocked sgs2, but i can't access another networks. When i change the SIM card, it only display Emergency calls.
The weird thing is that the only network that phone are enable to access isn't the same that my phone belong...
What could be? There are files that log in the phone into network?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my bad english.
strange.. are you sure its unlocked properly ?
Have you changed your CSC to suite your country while this is not always the case try another modem for your fone and or input the data for your APN for your network yourself.

Hi,
I have bought an used Samsung i9100 phone, that is like new and everything is working, except GSM network.
It seems that it can get a signal, and it identifies the networks of my country. But it cant connect to any of them. I have tried with different SIM cards.
Also, I tried flashing it with some ROMS to see if it solved something, also tried to use the EFS fixing tools available on XDA for I9100.
Also tried the EFS tool to unlock the phone, and it does give me a number to unlock it, but when I try to unlock it, it says that the operation was unsuccessfull.
Any ideas on what is happening ? I can see my IMEI properly on the Android about page.
Thanks

do a factory reset and check
my other phone is a Samsung Galaxy S, which i have for more than a year.
I Flash it almost daily so i am not new to the works
I tried almost everything , kernel, modem , rom , unlocking , recovery of the EFS.
Dont know what to do more. It doesnt seem to be hardware related, because even signal strenght seems good.
It just says "emergency calls only" and cannot register to a network : says " unable to register, try again later".
That reads as possible IMEI problem. Or antenna even.

so you have a phone that shows strong signal but would not accept your sim ?
you cant register to network usually means that the phone is locked to a certain network and that your sim is not of that network
you can try calling emergency and if you get a connection hang up or tell the guys on the other side you made a mistake and apologize;
at least that way you know there is no problem with the antenna
but seeing your screenshots it appears that you do have UMTS? but no GSM?
this is weird and looks like the phone was locked to a certain network and then unlocked but not properly unlocked
again it was asked before: what country are you in?
I flashed back to stock at&t ics and modem but the sim card still can't be read. I know the sim works because it works fine in my galaxy nexus.
I have tried flashing all 5 versions of the ICS AT&T modems on the stock rom and I tried flashing "[ROM][MOD] ICS IMM76D UCLF6 - Stock, Rooted, Deodexed + FJ-Mod 7/27/12 *UPDATED*"
But I still get the error of no sim.
In the settings I see the baseband I717UCLF6, Kernel version 3.0.8, Android version 4.0.3, IMEI is fine.
Mobile network type - unknown, service state - out of service, mobile network state - disconnected.
When I go to "Wireless and Networks" and click mobile networks, it says "insert sim card to access network services"
Please help with some ideas on what to do..
Remove the sim card ....wipe all areas of the device ....
Reflash the rom again ....and insert the card ...
You should get restored service ...
If not .....post here again for round 2.....g

This thread is outdated and not related to the new problem with EFS coruption. Solutions proposed here wont help you if you lost your network after downgrading a ROM from MF6 to earlier.
Ok it's not the first thread about this but no one seems to have an answer. I'm trying again.
I flashed a custom ROM on a friend's phone i9300. After the flash the phone keep saying "Not registered on network". I tried everything I know.
I changed modem
I changed ROM (3X) (with full wipe)
I returned to stock
I installed GetRil (changed the baseband)
I installed Galaxsim (phone already unlock)
when I try to set the APN I get a message "registered on network" but when I do a phone call I got "Not registered on network"
Is there anyone who knows any way to solve this problem?
New sim? What all works?

everything works fine on the phone except the call/ 3g. She came with her own Sim card but she left me the phone and I'm using my own Sim card and same result.
Now I see that the IMEI SV is 01, My phone Number is UNKNOWN( is it normal?)

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

sounds like (both of you) your EFS folder is corrupt - the only way i've read of repairing it is to have a back up. service center for repair is the only option AFAIK.
The IMEISV means nothing, don't even worry about it. Know what you're talking about before you blurt out crap.

Usual suspects .
Sim you tried another .
Sim carrier unusual to be damaged .
IMEI wrong .
No phone number details standard with many roms .
Network details not entered or incorrect or wrong CSC .
Wrong modem unlikely .
Best to restore phone to original firmware .

First I restored the phone with the nandroid backup I made just before flashing. (still not register on network)
Then I restored the phone to stock Samsung with Odin (still not register on network)
The IMEI is still there(most thread I read with this problem people lost their IMEI)
The phone can connect to the network because it can retreive the time from the network.
If I make a network operator search it finds China Unicom(This is my sim card) and when I choose it it says "register on the network" but as soon as I try to call, I get the "not register on network" again.
I thought the IMEI might be block as it might be a stolen phone but I made a search on two IMEI database and it says CLEAR.
I flashed 3 Asian modems( I used to have a S3 I know the XXELJ2 was working with my sim card) and same result.
Have you tried flashing a different modem to your device and reporting the problem to your provider.
May sound obvious but the provider's logs may clearly show what is wrong and they can report it back to you.

anyway, tried this metod too now, and still the same ~
Hey guys, had a very similar problem to kremata (everything in EFS folder seemingly ok (IMEI and S/N were fine)), and for me it got fixed by applying Azira's Patch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 ).
However this solution only works by rooting and if you try to return it to stock it will reverse to being a 500$ PDA sadly.
In any case, the phone is now fully functional (calling/SMS/mobile data).
hey
i can fix ur problem

Hi,
the problem is:
I have a galaxy s3 (i9300) which i'm not able to unlock. The *#06# shows the correct IMEI, which is printed on the label behind the battery.
I've tried editing nv_data.bin, but can't seem to find the 00181460 address.
Galaxsim says "unable to load nv data"
The problems started about a month after i upgraded to 4.4.4 (back to n00t rom). One morning the phone just kept saysing 'unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working'
I tried reflashing it, then tried using cm13.
Everything works fine, except there's now a sim lock on my phone..
running out of ideas, so thought maybe you guys have some fresh ones.
Thanks!
The standard repair-procedure is to flash firmware by Odin.
hello, i have the same problem. i tried lot of rom to solve the problem but it don't do anything. Also flashing firmware by Odin don't work. I'm happy that i'm not alone.
sorry for my bad english.
Hello, have you ever tried to flash the stock firmware with Odin ? For me, it did not solve the problem. If someone has a solution. ..:crying:
The phone is network locked or is the SIM card locked with a pin?

hi, the phone is network locked.
The only method that may work to unlock the phone for free is the regionlockaway app with root and an older modem.
Was the phone ever network unlocked ?
Thanks for your answer .
Yes, the phone was network unlocked when i bought it.
i tried regionlockaway, but it don't work.
I don't know what to do.
Not sure why the phone would relock. You tried installing a stock rom?
I tried this too, but it don't worked.
I tried to change The modem, the CSC, but nothing happens, the phone remains network locked.
Did you check to make sure the phone was network unlocked when you first got it?
Yes, it was unlocked.
no network after custom rom 4.4.4
Hi all!
I also have the same problem after a cutom Rom install, >no Network, Hope you be of help as i expect XDA always do :angel:
No network is not the same as bein network locked.
If the phone can't be unlocked for free, an unlock code must be purchased.

My Gt-i9300 shows my sim as it is LycaMobile but also gives me 'Emergency calls only; so i cant call and etc... is there a way to restore it to full stock firmware ? because i also flashed baseband modem etcetera , and ididnt change to Gsm only ( i read somewhere that be a solution...?
Changing to gsm only will only give the phone data access at edge speeds.
To return to stock, flash a rom from sammobile.com using Odin.
I bought an unlocked phone to change operator when i want and i still have to pay ? Oh misery... :'(

Did you confirm the phone was network unlocked when you first got it? The phone supports your carrier's radio frequencies? SIM card works in another phone?
You can use turbosim for unlock but i dont know what happen to you. Its only suggestion.
You can't network unlock an s3 for free if it has ever been updated to 4.3.
