"Unable To Register on network"
I have a really annoying but strange issue I cant make phone calls or send and receive text messages but I can browse the internet.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 which im sure is sim unlocked 100% sure. It has been working ok up until recently something has changed but Ill be dammed if I know.
I am using 3ITA sim
Im running the stock ROM ..I tried to re-root the phone but this did not work.
I have done a factory reset this has not worked.
If I take the sim out of the S3 and put in into another galaxy s3 it works fine. I can make and receive phone calls.
But soon as I put it back in the S3 it says "Unable to regsiter on network" so it HAS to be the S3 but im sure it is sim unlocked!
I tried similar to this: (But when I got to network lock it says on my S3 (MENU NOT EXIST PRESS BACK KEY Current command is 186) what does this mean???
================================================== ============================
"Put in a different SIM card to the one you use with your carrier.
Switch the device off and on again with the SIM card in place.
Open your dial pad and then type in *#197328640#.
Go to Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > and wait 30 seconds or so.
Then hit Menus and choose Back. You should now see Network Lock. Then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ."
Please can someone help !!
Hi
I had the same problem a few days ago. Really annoying.
What i tried was the following:
It happend after having flashed cm-10.1-20130211-NIGHTLY-I9300.zip
It stayed like that after having flashed cm-10.1-20130208-NIGHTLY-I9300.zip
It was solved having flashed cm-10.1-20130129-NIGHTLY-I9300.zip, GAPPS and having wiped Dalvik cache, cache and i wiped back to factory.

Well, I just had this probleme again.
Don't know what is happening.
This time it was with the cm-10.1-20130303-NIGHTLY-I9300 but it persisted through cm-10.1-20130311-NIGHTLY-I9300. Full wipe solved it for me.

Galaxy S II has no Network upon further inspection the phone doesn't display the Imei, bluetooth, wifi mac address.
Its not in flight mode, I restored to factory settings, tried couple of sims as well.
Is it a software issue or hardware issue??
Is likely flight mode. Press power button long and try the option flight mode or data connection.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
still the same its not in flight mode or any other settings tho. I have used a galaxy S for 8 months
Replace sim card in holder .
jje
did try all the possibilities.
NEW PROBLEM : Once put into flight mode,i cant get rid off flight mode and the phone doesn't charge anymore?? Please tell me its a software issue
UPDATE: The phone is charging after doing a factory restore, but now i found out when i go to mobile network, it says SIM CARD NOT INSERTED? Sim card tray issue? hardware??
DOUBT: is there a chance the phone to get network locked??
UPDATE: when I Enter *#7465625# and see the following:
Personalization Status
Network Lock
Network Subset Lock
SP Lock
CP Lock
Phone is from singapore, looks like it got locked automatically?
things are getting more complicated my doesnt have a imei
when i check imei it doesnt show
NO imei copy back your backed up efs folder as per thread dev section.
Try factory reset rtrey flashing a stock rom .
jje
Yup, sounds like an efs issue. Hope you backed that up.
i dint flash or root the phone to corrupt those.

Yea, this is the exact thing thats happened to me (Indian version).
Fresh out of the box phone, worked fine for the last 3-4 days.
Now I'm out on a vacation, and the network selection on roaming was flaky, I was toggling the network selection manually/automatically a few times to get some network, and the next thing I know I no longer have a IMEI (shows unknown) , and the same for baseband ( shows unknown) .
Tried factory resetting , etc, not helping. Will get back home and have the phone repaired/replaced.

This airplane mode sounds dangerous. Unfortunately it may be a necessity when you are travelling etc. Hope there is a known fix or one comes out soon. Until then I will keep my /efs partition backup in 3-datacenter redundant storage place along with my laptop and ext.hdd.
i just recieved an sgs2 in uk and it has this exact problem out of the box.
grrr
if anyone wants to point me to a stock rom for it i'll try flashing it
erm, i dont think flashing will help here.
I reckon that missing IMEI means the /efs partition has been wiped out/corrupted, and that is something which cannot be restored by a simple flash.
finally, after almost 12 days, lots of running around, I finally got my S2 working again.
The service center had to send the phone to their head office since they hadnt received any service info on the new model till then.
They changed the PBA apparently , and finally reflashed it and gave it to me.
They claimed that the flashing was an online process and samsung india service servers were down for nearly 2-3 days, accounting for the additional delay.
Just like my I9000, but I dont think it is the same problem and same way to solve.
I rooted the devise and deleted the nv_date.bin and the nv_data.md5 in EFS file with Root Explorer, and renamed the .nv_data.bak into nv_data.bin, then restart, problem solved
I have exactly the same problem as you guys are talking about. Really weird. The /efs directory, where is it located? Is it located in the main "Root" or is it in a specific folder? I would like to try the thing with the rename trick?

I press yes and I get nothing?
now here is the thing it will give me access to virgin mobile internet?
I go to settings and the virgin media apn for mobile internet is there but nothing else

Very difficult to understand you, but flashing a firmware has nothing to do with network lock.

If your phone is unable to connect Virgin network then how come it asked you to download config settings. Are you able to call any one? If not then flash the correct firmware. (Refer sammobile)
If you are able to dial out and only internet is issue then google and find out virgin mobile internet configuration and do it manually.

When you installed the rom (BTU is fine its a generic UK Europe firmware so any sim should work) did you do a factory reset to clean the phone of all the custom stuff, if not then do that, Settings > Accounts > Backup and Reset then Factory Data Reset if you are running Android 4.3
This will wipe the phone data and settings to return it to factory state of the BTU rom, move any pictures, music etc from the internal storage to your external SD card or you will lose it
When the phone reboots you will need to set it up from scratch as if you had just got it.

hi this sim works flawless in my chinky phone
is there any way I can find out if my phone is barred and if it was barred would I be able to use the phone for mms as it can send mms?
sorry if this is stupid btw

Don't know how to check if the phone is barred. As your phone registered on Virgin network, I don't think it's network-locked.
Try a sim from a different network to see if you can replicate the problem.
Maybe try factory reset and setup without the sim card in. After the set up shut down and pop in the SIM, then restart. Make sure mobile data and wifi are off when you restart.
It is odd, because it should automatically configure without the need to download anything.
ok thanks will try that
ok done all that phoned virgin support
they are suggesting it is locked onto the previous network
thing is I don't know what the network was before so I guess
ive got hold of a small wifi tablet for the boys to play with
unless someone can point me in the right direction?????

Use KIES to recover the original phone firmware,
Start Kies do not connect the phone turn that off and remove the battery
On the menu bar go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation them follow the instructions
This will put the most up to date original firmware version on the phone but may well sim lock it if it was previously locked to a network
Hi XDA ,
Am new in the Forum & First of all thanks to all of you for helping the forum and people. I'm having difficulties and I cant seem to find the way to fix this(its been 2 weeks)
My problem is the following: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 details:
software version: N900PVPUBMI3
hardware version N900P.00
Status: network: Digital roaming
mobile network type CDMA-AxRTT
Android 4.4.2
KERNEL:[email protected]#1
A friend bought me this phone and called my carrier METROPCS and made them set up the phone so I could use it. they asked him for imei and sim number. He was able to use the phone and 4GLTE(he was doing this to verify it was unlocked) later on he gave me the phone and I had to do the same procedure he did but first I did a factory data reset.
After it I wasn't able to set it up again.
I've noticed that APN SETTINGS has disappeared from the menu, cant search for networks, when I load IMEI it no longer shows the imei but it shows MEID B0000000 and besides all of this I have a message that says SIM CARD INVALID.(but the sim card works perfectly on my other phone)
I will all my life appreciate if you help me with this matter please!
PS. phone is rooted as far as I know(root check on Google play store said it was)
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

You might try installing this app it find/gives all the hidden info on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 it will give you APN's MEID AND IMEI . All you have to do is download to your PC, it my download as a zip file. Just use 7zip and rename it to an apk, then copy and paste it to your internal sd card via your charging cable. Then click on apk and install. Enjoy !!!
BTW your MEID is on a label under the battery !!!

Hi Jim/XDA
I'm still not able to connect to the network. Regarding the IMEI on the back part i know its there however what im saying is that im not able to see my imei through command when i dial *#06#
i as well had this errors today when i woke up:
: LTE:ESM-x EMM-14(ive seen this error when this issue started but it dissapeared and it came back know)
data roaming: you have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.
On mobile networks i remember i use to be able to select many(GSM,CDMA,etc) now in network mode i only see 2 options LTE/CDMA,CDMA. Currently LTE/CDMA is selected and if you just look at the network mode option without actually opening it it shows CDMA/LTE/EVDO.
Also when i opened the SCRTN it shows on black screen.
I tried to do some minor changes on Galaxy tools like the SIM UICC UNLOCK all mps,sales,default code on XAS. Factory & keystring ON. MSL/SPC show 222222.
After i did SIM UICC UNLOCK and restarted phone know took away all errors but i see the signal bars faded out and with a little red x on top of it. I've read the manual but im still wondering if there might still be things to set on a particular way that are not specified on it Can you please help me set this up properly?

Is this a Sprint variant? If so, you shouldn't have factory reset the phone. It looked like the phone was previously flashed to MetroPCS and by resetting the phone, it removed all the carrier data.
You will have to reflash the phone to get it working again.

Hey guys, for those who need to edit an APN (Access Point Names), there is a little secret.
Go Settings, and scroll down the list. You will find a search box. Type there Access Piont Names and here it is.
The steps above are neccesary, since APN setting is hidden.
Hello Guys,
I have a Tmobile s6 edge. I have unlocked it to use in Brazil. Everything was working fine but I had a trouble with root and ended up soft bricking (not passing the Tmobile logo screen)
I managed to reinstall Tmobile stock rom and make it work again. All was fine but this afternoon the phone decided not to register on the network anymore. Weird thing is that I still have connectivity over 4g. I tried a Tmobile Sim card and get the same problem.
Any suggestions? Should I root it and flash a custom rom? Different radio? Everything else is working fine.
Thanks!
Turned out that the imei was blocked. I managed to change it through a company in the US. Now it's back to normal.
Go to settings > mobile networks > network operators and select search automatically.
If this doesn't helps then tap on search networks and select manually,this worked for me.

Hello
Same problem, i can not resolve

These days I rooted and flashed my Samsung S3 i9300 with
- TWRP
- cm-13.0-20160610-NIGHTLY-i9300
- open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160611
Before Android 4.3 I had no problems
- unlocking my SIM-card
- calling someone
- receiving calls
- sending/receicing SMS
- using Internet
- using WLAN
With CM13 it's like this
- OK unlocking my SIM-card
- FAILS calling someone
- FAILS receiving calls
- OK sending/receicing SMS
- OK using Internet
- OK using WLAN
While calling someone, the CM-Logo is displayed pulsing, but no sound is heard, and the receiving person doesn't get a tone.
While being called by someone else, he get's a normal ring tone, but on my phone I don't get any hint about being called!
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance

Maybe the functional SMS misdirected me...
I found another strange situation, that may be the real cause:
in "Settings" in "Mobile Settings" (which is on) I can't edit any settings "Data roamin, Preferred network type", etc. They are all greyed out!
Additionally in "Network operators" only displays "Choose a network operator"
and "Preferred network typ" displays "Invalid Network Mode (-1)"
in "Settings / About phone / Status / SIM status" the "Network" is correctly set to "E-Plus" (using AldiTalk)
the "Mobile network type" is "not available"
"Roaming" is set to "Not roaming"
"Mobile network state" is "Disconntected"
Althou I can send and receive SMS
I'm really stuck... any ideas please?
Did you do a wipe before the installation?
Yes, I wiped everytime (everything without internal storage and SDcard)! I retried 3 times more with cm13, everytime with the same result!
My last try was cm12.1 & gapps5.1 and it worked right out of the box!
Had anyone else such a situation with Samsung S3 i9300 and cm13? Or did everything worked fine?

I am using the original cm13 with boeffla kernel,xposed and some other modifications but haven't experienced any problem so far. Also had used some modified cm13 roms with different settings (temasek's, rr etc) and got no problem.
