Hi there!
I've found several threads with this issue, but still not that serious like mine.
I've been using my GS II for 3 month without any problem, untill yesterday. During surfing on the net the network suddenly gone away and since I don't have mobile network connection. I've got IMEI, CSC, signal from provider (unlocked phone), my SIM card works in other devices, I also updated the firmware, I made several hard resets, checked other SIM cards, checked the problem with flight mode, but I haven't found any solutions. The signal sign is there in the upper corner, but I'm not able to connect to any providers for 48 hours.
Please help me. I don't know what to do
Maybe a country specific CSC change? I don't know how to do that. I have one .tar file for that but Odin can't install it. I'm a beginner here...
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried checking the access point settings?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes. They are fine. I've just changed them and put them to default again because there was no change.
When the phone went offline I was just surfing on the net so I did not change any options.
Any other ideas maybe?
Thanks...
try talking to your provider. Your account may have a problem which could be fixed by a simple reset on their end.
Thanks for the comment. Well, I've tried to use other sims for the same and also from other providers, even a sim from another country, and none of them worked. I also tried to put my sim into another phone and the sim works fine there. The only logical solution is that the problem is with the phone.
I guess it's worth a try, maybe they blocked the IMEI of the phone because of something? It's not a stolen mobile though.
Now I've got a flashed brand new mp4 player from samsung. Nice, it drives me crayz...
Another idea. While I was surfing on the net I installed "advanced task killer" (before the "crash" happened) and I killed some ordinary apps (not sure about this) then I just deleted the program. This connection rejecting thing happened after this. That's why I thought I should make a firmware update, maybe the problem was caused by this task killer. Well, don't know if the is a connection or not...
I have exactly the same proble with my Galaxy SII - I went on a long trip - when I got back it stopped working. Has anyone found a solution to this?
To reiterate - the phone sees all the networks, but when I select Vodafone UK I get the message "unable to select vodafone UK automatically". The sim card works fine in other phones - there is clearly an issue with the phone. The only thing that has changed is I have updated some of my apps on returning home.
Any ideas?

My CSC is XEU (correct for UK as far as I can see - and has worked for the past 3 months)
Sim card works fine in another phone
Network is fine (my wife is also on Vodafone and has no issues - my sim works on the network on her phone)
My Imei is correct
-Everyone else who has had this problem had no joy with a factory reset so I'm loathe to try it until I''ve tried everything else.
Any other ideas?
Just to recap:
The phone is stuck in emergency calls only mode
I can see all my local networks (Vodaphone, Orange etc...)
When I try to connect (in any of the modes 2g/3g) I get the error message
The sim card works fine in other phones
Other people's sim cards have the same issue in my phone
There are plenty of 'Emergency calls only' threads around, but the ones that have my exact symptoms never seem to get solved. Does anyone have any other ideas, or better, has anyone come across a thread where the issue was resolved? Getting pretty desperate.
tried rooting and flashing different modems maybe its a hardware problem with the modem.

i have the same problem in greece galaxy s2 i9100....in ics i havent network in 2.3.5 i have...i dont know why...in cm9 ics i have network...
Last update - I have flashed the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich, (LPQ version), which means I have:
Carried out a factory reset
Flashed a new ROM and Modem
When I rebooted it asked me for my carrier (Vodafone UK) and filled in the APN settings itself. I still have the same issue. I can't work out what is left that I haven't reset/reloaded that could still be causing issue. There can't be many settings left that aren't new?

i try to put manual apns but i cant save this in phone...in network search found my carrier but not conected...only with cm9 ics found network...pff...
Success?!?! It looks like we have tracked down the problem (extremely helpful input from another forum). Quick call to Vodafone and it turns out that my IMEI has been blacklisted (stolen!) Imagine my surprise - currently having a very interesting with Carphonewarehouse as to how hey managed to give me a stolen phone - should hopefully have everything resolved shortly

Very odd - when you first boot after a flash does it not ask you to select your contract type (that is the bit that automatically fills in the APN for me?)

Had the EXACT same issue on my Galaxy Note II for two days. My last hope was trying to restore my EFS with the EFS pro app.
Now when enabled my wifi at home and connected to my home network my sim prompted for the pin code.
Strange but I guess it was waiting for a connection (from my home wifi (not any other wifi) from a "half downloaded" app from the play store.
Anyways I'm happy this issue is resolved.
Does your phone prompt for a pincode when you start it? (mine said unable to complete download everytime it booted)
Hope this will help you guys...
Samsung Galaxy "Unable to connect. Try later" issue still remain
Hi guys,
I have the same issue with the following device:
Samsung Galaxy S3
I live in continental western Europe. Operators tried: BASE, MOBISTAR, PROXIMUS, POST.
The IMEI is correct, does not start with 00. The phone was bought from a shop, new, I have the invoice, so is legal, not stolen.
For some unknown reason, suddenly it does not want to connect to the mobile operators, any of them. I see "Emergency calls only". When I try to connect any one automatically or manually, I always get the message "Unable to connect. Try later".
The SIM card work well in another device, a Nokia C3-00. Another SIM does not work in my defective Samung S3. I sent back the device to the shop to be repaired and they gave it back to me saying it work very well, they just upgraded to the latest firmware, etc.
I am very annoyed because the device is unreliable. I have it in my pocket and do not realize it is not connected to the mobile network, I cannot be called or receive messages. Also I am unable to call.
The WIFI work well.
I tried everything, removing the SIM, inserting another, shutting down, enabling and disabling flight mode, nothing works.
But the later for some unkown reason and logic, it just work again for some time.
You guys wrote about some solution by looking in a folder, but I don't see that folder. Also you mention rooting. Does this mean cracking the phone? I do not wish to meddle with this, because I could destroy my device and I paid a lot for it. It will remove the warranty. So if you have a solution, please give a legal one.
Anyone have a hint or explanation for this strange behaviour?
Thanks a lot.
had a similar problem with galaxy core prime.
bought without a sim card and no knowledge of what network it was on.
every sim i tried was getting unable to connect error as i was trying to register on network
dont know if this will work for everyone as mine is a dual sim phone but here goes.
inserted two different sims from different providers, ee and vodafone.
reset phone to factory settings and when it booted back up, it recognised the ee sim card, went to mobile networks and network operators in settings and selected the ee network and presto, it registered ! used sim manager to select voda card and repeated selecting vodafone as carrier and it also registered straightaway
as i said none of the cards would register before on their own, but somehow this method worked for me.
hope this helps
had to set one sim to gsm only and other to autoconnect
Hi,
My S2 won't connect to my network. While living in France I rooted it, and installed a custom rom (vk-ics). This caused no problems and everything worked fine. Since moving back to Ireland (where the phone worked fine pre-rooting) I now can't connect to a network. I had a meteor sim, which was able to connect to the data network, but not make or receive calls, ie. emergency calls only. Now I've changed to 3 mobile hoping that would solve the problem. I am now sometimes able to connect to the 2g network (which works as national roaming with vodafone), but not to 3's 3g network. The sim works fine in another phone.
I have tried flashing a new rom (resurrection remix), and several different modems, but non of them have helped. I have checked my IMEI by using *#06# and it matches what written behind the battery. Does anybody have any suggestions of what the problem might be?
Thanks
I've now done a complete factory reset and flashed the phone with the latest stock firmware for 3 and still the same problem. Emergency calls only. I am completely out of ideas.
Can anybody shine some light on what's happening? It worked fine in France on SFR.
Call your carrier & check there isn't something at their end causing this (IMEI barred, some kind of issue with your account; and actually do this. Don't just say you did, come back here & go thru a bunch of troubleshooting steps that won't work because it's a carrier side issue).
If there's nothing carrier side, do a clean install of ICS stock (wipe, etc) & see if that fixes the problem, if it doesn't, post here again.

I asked my carrier was the IMEI blocked weeks ago and they said no. But seeing as no other solution would work I paid for a report online with checkmend yesterday, and it turns out it is blocked. Their customer care is ridiculous. I could have saved myself a whole lot of pain if someone had been able to check the database properly!
Cheers for the reply
I picked up an unlocked TMo One in New York last week. I used it there with my Norwegian SIM with no problems.
Back home, I get "No Service" using the exact same SIM-card. Using the *#*#INFO#*#*-menu, I can see the SIM-card is recognised because it displays my carrier in the "Current Network" field. I am suspecting the TMo-infused Sense OS to reject my card, since to my understanding the phone is compatible with EU networks. Will i be fine if i flash another ROM, like the stock GPe, and get rid of the TMo-stuff altogheter, or is there another rock in the road here?
I used my Tmobile HTC One with the stock ROM in Norway using a Telenor SIM and in Greece using a Vodafone SIM.
I would make sure you have the proper APN info (I can't remember the appropriate one for the Norwegian carriers). I believe it should work without issues (mine did). If it worked with that SIM card already, it's not locked and it's not rejecting it.
Also, I found that when I returned home to the US, I had to choose Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network Operators and choose Select Automatically (even though it was already chosen). Maybe you need to do that too.
Currently I am running Android Revolution and that also works fine with my Norwegian and TMOUS SIM cards.
Good luck!
Thanks! I've at least made some progress. I tried setting Network Selection to automatic, and got reception, however only for about half a minute. I then tried adding my provider's APN info. This has given me permanent data connection, but still no GSM reception for texts and phone calls. I do get 2g data when in low coverage areas. I am finding this weird. Can anyone shed some light?
Okay. Just wanted to post my latest findings - if others are experiencing the same issue. I've flashed the latest Google Edition RUU, to see if the TMo ROM was causing it. But i still don't get GSM coverage. Data still connected on both 2G and 3G (haven't been within 4G coverage yet..)
When flashing I also updated firmware to latest.
Phone info says Current network: "NetCom" (my home network) GSM service: "Emergency Calls only" (I tested this, and I am able to place the call to emergency services) and GPRS service: "Connected" (I am typing this on my data connection via WiFi-tethering, actually)
The status menu shows this: Service state "Out of service" and My phone number "Unknown".
If anyone can come up with a theory, I am all ears..

Have you tried taking the phone to your provider? Maybe you need an update which or setting which they can provide.
I find it strange that it wouldn't recognize your phone number, usually that's a sign of some type of incompatibility with the phone and the network.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I have contacted my provider to see if there's anything they can do. But they're playing a little hard to get.. I was afraid there would be an issue with compatibility at first, by since my data connection is all right, I'm not so sure. Also erdelyt above here says he has used the TMo phone in Norway without trouble. He has another provider, however. They run their own network, so I will be trying with one of their SIM cards next, if my provider NetCom aren't of any help. Thanks for your help so far. I'll be posting my findings further!
So, I got to try a Telenor SIM card the other day, and the issue is still there. Although, with that card the phone number was read and displayed in the phone info menu. The owner of the card suggested there was an unlock issue - but I did make calls with my phone and SIM card in the US, so I don't see how that could be.
So that's a small step further, but now I just have to wait to see what my carrier says..
I changed the title for this thread after my findings.. I got a new SIM-card for my carrier, and i got coverage to make one phone call, but after i hung up, it was gone. I am really in the dark here.. It can of course be a hardware fault, but that's a bit strange for an entirely new product..
Hello from a noob. I have done the saferoot, text edited the sales dat to AWS and changed the other file (forget the name) from OFF to ON. Basically I switched the IMEI on my Metro account to a 545. I kept the same SIM. The store says there demo SIM does not pick up the internet either. The internet worked for 2 minutes and now there is no logo (4g lte, H+ etc) and no connection to the internet at all. I have tried going into the bands etc. but I think I'm missing something (I guess obviously). I have done "everything". Updated the APN settings etc. etc. It is stock rom except the root and the minor text edited changes. It is on 4.3 android. Can anyone out there please tell me how to turn off the stupid VZN LTE band option (I think that is my problem) however when I put in the *#276... command it doesn't pull up the menu that lets you access the band option like I've seen on Youtube. It gives me a different menu with UMTS at the top. I still haven't found the turn off the VZN LTE option. Any help at all would be appreciated. The dialing and text messaging work so it's a clean phone but for some reason the phone is blocking my damn internet. Thanks for the help.
When you installed the MetroPCS SIM, did you configure the APN to use their network?

Yes sir. I have done it all and nothing has helped. My only thought is finding that switch for the Verizon band or something else in the programming but I can't get to that damn menu. And the *#276.. number is not working on the phone anymore either.
So for those interested that may have Metro and are having the same problem I finally just updated the phone with the stock 4.4 firmware (clean wipe and all that) with Odin and it now works and the LTE no longer shuts off. After hours and hours of agony I finally did it. I tried rooting and everything on 4.3 and I don't care that I lost root - I'm just glad it works now. I do appreciate for what it's worth all the information on here and best wishes to you guys for all the future modding, unlocking the bootloader and all of that. See you around.
Hello XDA,
I have a Galaxy Note 3. It is running:
Android 5.1.1 n9200zCU2AOl2 Phronesis V5;
kernel version 3.4.110-idleKernel-hlte-eur-6.6.5-note5port [email protected] #1
Unlocked
TLDR: I can't access APN or look at a list of networks. This is all I see: http://imgur.com/a/83YGW
I bought the phone from Rogers Canada. Unlocked last year. I recently attempted to port my number from Freedom Mobile to Public Mobile. I received an error when activating my SIM chip on their website, but when I powered up the phone. I was able to make calls, and to use data.
The data was unbearably slow, however, and so I went into mobile networks under settings, and told it to go to LTE. I don't remember what the exact setting set, and I can't reproduce it at the moment. I had LTE speeds on the phone now.
About three hours later, I noticed I had absolutely no ability to send or receive calls. But data was still working. I attempted to see if it was connecting to the wrong network, but when I went to see a list of mobile networks, nothing. Just those settings you see above on the screenshot.
Another hour had passed. Now, no data, no calls.
Public Mobile told me that there was an error in porting, and that they would fix it. They "confirmed" that it was fixed about four hours ago.
Despite being an unlocked phone, every SIM chip I put in fails to provide me with any connection. Now all it says on the lock screen is "searching for service."
I don't see what I could have done to have physically changed the menu settings inside the phone. I tried booting in safe mode. I even backed up my ROM, wiped it, and flashed an earlier backup from last year I saved. Nothing.
I'm really stuck, and would appreciate any advice that anyone can provide. I can also provide anything else you might need. Thanks.
