Hi Guys
I updated my S3 to a small critical update, not 4.1.2 and it was a OTA update and now the phone will not make a call, it keeps displaying " not registered to the Network" but it has a data connection i am able to surf the net, I have checked and the phone is not blocked or on the blacklist or reported stolen but I had unlocked the phone via Unlocker.com a few months ago.No UK SIM i.e. (Vodafone Tmobile Three) will make a call through my phone
I have
Wiped Device to factory settings
Flashed a stock rom JB I9300 4.1.2
Flashed Custom Rom "I9300_Omega_v4.2_AOKP_Milestone_1_Jelly_Bean"
Flashed my Operator Rom back on
I have not backed up my EFS Folder and would not know how to
Reset flash counter
Now My IMEI number has changed but on the IMEI SV number, on the back of my phone the IMEI number ends with a ***** /09 but now I have flashed it ends with a /06 .... will that cause a issue, The long SIM number has not changed on the phone.
any suggestions please as I fear that if I send it off to samsung they will not fix as the IMEI SV number has changed and will charge me as they will sate it is out of warranty

3.Rooted/Custom ROm installed.
4.Phone see the Sim Card Carrier.
5.Mobile Network state is unaviable.
6.Serial Number is unknown
OS : 4.0.3
Thank you
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Try a different modem. Here is the modem thread!
All are CWM flashable and there are specific modems for Three and Orange available.
well i tried serveral modems and still the same result
if it the phone was decleared as Stolen is it possible the effect
if so can it be fixed?
full wipe and try again
also had the same problem, you probably flashed a rom on your previous rom
or maybe the rom doesnt get your apn's.
try full wipe and flash rom again, for me it did the work
First you need to know where your friend got it from.
1.If its possibly a stolen phone then it may be locked by IMEI by the last carrier used.That makes it completely useless.A phone locked by a carrier once declared stolen can not be fixed.
2.If when flashing the custom ROM the IMEI or EFS folder has been corrupt or wiped then it wont make or receive calls.
Check the IMEI number (*#06#) and make sure its the same as the one behind the battery.If it is and your friend found the phone then it may be locked as a stolen phone.
well the IMEI behind the battery is similar with the phone IMEI..
what do i need to do in order to make the phone to output/input calls?
So basically it sounds like a stolen phone, in which case you can do nothing and you will get no further help from me or this forum.
well thank you ill return it to my friend ..
It has to be the same not similar.If its only similar then its corrupt from a bad flash and can be fixed but if its the same then yes Im afraid as posted above it does sound like a locked stolen device.

Hi this is starting to really bug me now Im unable to register on a network I get signal bars but only get emergency calls only tried dfferent sim cards and reverted back to latest official stock to no avail any suggestions please
As per multiple identical posts .
First is your IMEI correct
Are your mobile network settings correct
sim card correct and tested
correct modem and csc.
jje
Check your IMEI number. Sometimes, when we flash custom ROM, the phone looses its IMEI number. If it's true, you must use an EFS backup to restore it.
Second solution : your mobile phone was blacklisted (if it was considered as stollen).
Network
Hi thanks for the reply I have been searching I've checked my imei in status and it matches details under battery compartment i'm still paying for the phone (pay weekly) so no reason it would be blacklisted ok just tried another different sim card on Vodafone official s3 stock rom and it registered hmmm im on talktalk which uses voda I know this sim works but i'll get them to send me a new one thanks for your time guys
After flashing and thinking my EFS was damaged it seems that my network carrier has locked my IMEI
I first flashed MIUI and it worked perfectly, then I flashed LiteStock Rom and I got trouble with modem, I restored EFS and installed a new modem and it worked.
But finally I installed a new rom and I had the sign "Not registered on network". I flashed lots of stock roms and restored EFS, checked my IMEI and SN were the right ones and kept having the same error.
I had another rom of a OMV carrier (Tuenti from Spain) and it worked perfectly.
The thing is that Tuenti uses the same network as my current carrier Movistar, so if the IMEI was locked it wouldn't work with tuenti either.
¿Does anybody know what happens to my Galaxy? ¿Could it be that my carrier locked my IMEI for flashing roms?
Please help, I don't know what to do, my phone works with any other carrier that it is not mine, tested lots of simcards and that is what happens, I also have a friend that had the same problem, he took the phone to a shop to unlock it and he couldn't use the phone because in the shop I think they unlocked it via root and galaxyunlock app.
Blocked IMEI by network is due to theft .
Reads more like wrong modem or CSC see faqs and guides .
Wow, thank you, I did not see any of that about galaxy S3.
Will try that solution! :angel:
Hello All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (1 year old), which suddenly started showing "Emergency Calls Only" message with both SIM slots. No matter what SIM is used new or old or any provider it simply dont connect to netwrok. Other symptions are:
Singal strength is good.
Shows all available networks in manual search.
IMEI is valid and not stolen or spoofed. imei info shows everything alright.
In status shows Network = Unknown, Service State = Out of service
Things I have tried:
Factory reset, hard reset from recovery, data wipe etc.
CWM with custom roms like Trans-K and TransWin
Rooted and changed CSC type from INS to INU
Installed latest official firmware from SamMobile
But nothing helped till now. Please suggest what to do now. Service provide says problem is with your phone and SIM is perfectly fine works with other phones.
Thanks,
