Tried some sims in phone (first time put one in after using for week or so). The S2 I got of ebay,
did some googling and I think I may have a stolen phone, as am I right that message I put in title means carrier blocked?
Note I am not getting network locked messages, it just says emergency calls only and the status under settings - about says out of service.
--edit--
confirm works when I restored my nandroid backup of rom that came with phone.
So seems flashing custom roms can cause this problem, I didnt change the baseband tho so somethign else changed to break it.

EDIT: Just tried a 3 sim card and it worked so I will get another T-Mobile Sim to see if the problem is a didgy sim card...strage as the sim works when I put it in a micro sim to sim adapter in another phone!?
Im in the UK, with T-Mobile and randomly cant send/recieve calls or texts
I called T-Mobile and they refreshed the network settings but I still cant call...they said it wasnt anything to do with network coverage as it was displaying i had signal, but in call settings > additional settings or call forwarding > voice call:
it says "Network or Sim error"
my sim works in another phone too so its not a dodgy sim...so it is 100% down to the phone that I cannot call or recieve calls or texts so not just call settings being messed up, problem surfaced 2 hours after flashing Foxhound 0.3 (but in those 2 hour calls/texts were working)
I have done hard reset, and facory reset, restored a backup...also flashed stock XXLF2, and also LF8 but all with no luck
My IMEI number is displayed in about phone, it is displaying full signal, and T-Mobile in the dropdown menu and im able to use my mobile data from T-Mobile so what is wrong, and how can I fix this?
Would be forever grateful to whoever can help me out...even if your not sure any ideas are welcome as my £500 phone is as good as bricked to me!
I will take it into T-Mobile to see if they will replace the handset under warranty but how do I go about making it seem it hasnt been rooted or flashed custom ROM, I know I need Triangle away but what order etc?
Thanks allot

Run Triangle Away

Hi Guys,
I am new on SG2. I'm using stock rom, ICS 4.0.3 and I found out that my phone number in Settings is "unknown".
I noticed this problem since I bought it on store but I didn't ask the store staff why this thing happen.
Can anyone give me an advice what's wrong on my phone? TIA. :fingers-crossed:
you didnt flash or root etc ?
can you receive calls and does it connect to your provider ?
I've NEVER had my phone number appear there since day one from the first stock, unrooted Gingerbread ROM out of the box. It's never really bothered me. I think it has more to do with the way your provider's SIM interacts with the device than anything else.

I just change my kernel version to speedmod but this problem happened since the day I bought my S2 on store.
Yes, I received calls, messages and signals from my provider.
What do you think is the problem?
phone number got stored on your SIM, if you didn't got one from your carrier, just flash cm9 and from dialer settings add your phone number. After that it will show on every Rom every phone, until you change your SIM.
Yep Atifsh is right. Either flash CM9, change it/add it (dialer/settings/additional settings/my phone number), then go back to whatever rom you were using if you want. Or....get an older dumb phone which has the ability to edit your phone number/save it on the sim; put sim in dumb phone, add/edit number, put sim back in SGS2. Profit.
Thanks guys. Can you give me a link to the best CM9 Rom I will use? TIA

Hey guys. My S3 is stuck on the Emergency Call screen. Everything seems to be running fine in the background. I'm rooted on Criskelo's rom v.5.3. About an hour ago I ran Supercurio's Voodoo unlock for the S3 in the market place, and unlocked it cause I'm traveling to the states later on today. I have the i9300 model, on Digicel Bermuda. I'm still using the Digicel simcard since I unlocked earlier today, but now the Emergency call screen came on and I can't do anything. Any ideas how to get rid of this?
I can receive call just fine, just can't dial out or get rid of this screen...
Check you have correct IMEI for your phone .
Check your network settings are correct .

How do I do that? I can't get passed this emergency screen to do anything... I wonder if anything went haywire when I used that network unlock app... however, the phone worked fine for about an hour after I used it...
boy do I feel dumb... I guess it's just a lockscreen which I didn't remember setting up... I just panicked for no reason
Someone can close or delete this thread... sorry about that...
[Q] "no sim" error on my other carrier, currently overseas can't make calls.
Hello everyone,
Long time reader first time poster because I have searched for the past 2 days to solve my problem but it is kind of an emergency at this point.
I am currently overseas, last year I was here I was running stock GB and unlocked the simlock by contacting AT&T and getting a code. This year I am upgraded to stock JB but I get a no sim error with my overseas carrier and the phone doesn't ask for code at all. I tried putting in the ATT sim again and that works but can't use it here because its too expensive. I have tried other people's sim cards (total of 3) all of them get no sim error. This tells me the sim lock is still on there but I can't do much since it doesn't ask me for code.
I have also flashed siyah kernel and paranoid rom since coming overseas still no luck. This was mainly because stock JB was horrible.
I tried galaxy s unlock app but won't see my internet connection, I am not sure if it would be able to solve my problem anyway. I can't try the paid version of sim unlock because I can't get it charged to my ATT bill. I heard there is a free version but couldn't find it after searching for hours, seems as the developer wants this to be paid anyway.
I tried choosing multiple carriers under network settings but no luck.
I am sorry if I missed something obvious. Seems like Kies\ATT messed up something while upgrading me to JB
I have contacted ATT to ask if their JB upgrade locking sim is a known problem but all I got was a "are you sure you did it right". I have an unlock code from ATT though, just can't use it because the phone doesn't ask for the code, just says "no sim, emergency calls only"
I have flashed different modems just to see if that would help, nope
I have searched and read every similar thread, I would search more but I really need to solve this quick. Sorry if I missed any details first time posting.
Thanks in advance.
Don't know if this will help since I haven't tried it, but I found this. Maybe this will allow you to enter the unlock code?:
If your Samsung is not asking for an unlock code and it only reads “Network Locked. Emergency calls only” or “Insert correct SIM card” you can use one of these two formulas:
#0111*UNLOCKCODE#
#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
hmm both of them gave me mobile network available error, weird I would guess it wouldn't check for that.
,just to make sure , I just enter these on the keypad and press call right ?
With that type of code, you don't have to press call. If it is supposed to call up a menu or dialog, it will do so when the last digit is entered. If the phone does nothing when the last digit of the code is entered, then it is probably a code that is not recognized by the phone. So I guess those codes don't work for the SGH-I777. I don't know if this is dependent on firmware. I do know that unlock doesn't work the same on Jelly Bean. I've read the unlock methods don't work. See here. I guess you could flash ICS stock plus root and then use one of these.
or... can you call or chat with an AT&T tech support to ask how to apply the code in your situation?
I found a list of a lot of codes, tried some of the ones related to network lock, one of them asked for password, i entered it and it said unlock successful yet still not working. I just rooted to stock gingerbread still no sim error yet ATT worked and sent me a text for international rates.
I just don't know what happened whist upgrading to JB.
I have a similar problem where my unlock code that used to work no longer works. Just out of curiosity, does the Serial # shown by GalaxSimUnlock app match the one listed physically under your battery? I'm not aware of how to check for the serial number other than that app. On mine, I noticed it got zero'ed out, and if my hunch is correct, I think the unlock code recognized by the phone is based on that serial number (among other things), so the one supplied by AT&T won't work anymore. I'll have to get a new number based on that zeroed out serial number or change my serial number somehow.
Sorry I flashed another rom already but I will try to reinstall everything and check later today. Idk if the app works with gingerbread, it should.
Yes, it works with Gingerbread as I was able to use it. I was hoping that if I restored to Gingerbread, my serial number would come back. But no dice. I'm really curious to see what your serial number is.
just tried to check but the app keeps crashing on mine. I tried with anothe unlock app i got undefined under serial.
Hi
I've searched around and read a lot but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
Here is my issue.
When I dial a number, it tries to call then ends the call right away before it even rings.
Can't receive calls either.
Can't send sms, nor receive sms.
Additional info.
I have full signal and it says my carrier on the status bar
Imei is correct - same as back of phone
Phone is unlocked - checked status
Unlocked with Galaxsim unlock, paid version
used repair gsii by helroz, didn't work
apn is picked up by the phone
carrier sim applications menu shows but don't work
Went back to stock with mobile odin, all the way to gingerbread which I'm using right now.
Please advice on what to do, any help is appreciated.
Interesting; I've never heard of this particular problem before. The first thing I would try would be a different modem, because that's a very easy fix. Also, incorrect APN's could be a factor, even though you say you've already checked that. I would advise checking them again - slowly. Sometimes something as simple as an extra space (or lack thereof, in the case of the 'default,supl' portion of the APN) can cause them not to work correctly.
Good luck.
I've flashed different modems and that didn't work.
Caller ID in settings give error network or sim card problem it says.
Btw I'm trying with different by Sims and both work on other phones.
Apn is correct I double checked. It picked it up auto.
Let me if you think of something else.
Thanks.
