Right details. Phone doesn't make calls it just ends straight away and it doesn't receive texts. Data works on Orange SIM card I believe the phone was used on orange. IMEI matches that under battery. I don't think it's blocked as data works? It says Orange TMobile in notification area.
I tried other sims Three and GiffGaff and it doesn't prompt for unlock code however only says emergency calls only. Any ideas people?
It's either partially unlocked or you need to flash another modem.

I'll try another modem but KH3 reported working on O2/giffgaff. How can it be partially unlocked? What does that even mean?
That it may look unlocked to all networks but it actually is unlock to some carriers, or something.
Get galaxysim unlock and check it out.
Sent from the little guy
Oh I already tried that app and it says unlocked everything says unlocked! Starting to think it is blocked now...
Try another modem.

Thanks for the help but four modems and an update to jellybean later it's still emergency calls only. Got to be blocked.
Call your carrier & find out.

Do i need to use GetRIL too or should that be enough on its own?

I have the international GS3 and got it unlocked with a code and it worked fine on Orange network, while the phone is on Three, so then i flashed Omega 7 and rooted and it will no longer detect the Orange network, its just a circle with a line through on the status bar.
I thought maybe it wiped the unlocked but checked and it still says the phone is unlocked so i thought i would test and put back in the Three sim and it worked fine and then i had a old pay as you go o2 network sim and put that it and it gets a signal and the option to top up.
So i thought maybe the sim is faulty, and put it into my iPhone 4S and it gets signal and reads it, i followed the instructions and revered back to Stock to see if that fixed it but still the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas why or how to fix this?
Check your IMEI number

How would that help?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
If your phone lost it's IMEI number, it will revert back to a default-number.
Some networks still accept the phone with that number but most don't.
Just checked with the three card in usig *#06# and a imei comes up so it can't be that or should I t do it with the not working orange card in?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
IMEI is your device ID. Does it match the IMEI-number on the box or under the battery of your phone?
If not, you're on a generic one.
Yep its the same as the one on the box. I hm

Try another Sim and also check the Sim is locked into the receptacle properly.

I've tried two other network Sims and both work as well as the orange Sim works in my I phone.
Weird thing is when the orange sim. Is in the phone it shows the apn correct for orange but I just get the circle with line through where the signal should be.

CSC includes Orange ????
Network settings entered manually if not .

Your SIM might be locked to your iPhone's IMEI or does it work in other devices?
I've only heard a few reports of such practices and none so far with Orange (regardless of country)
As above....check apn settings
I checked apn under three and the orange wasn't there. I put in orange sim and three apn is gone and orange are there and the correct settings but still the same stop sign looking symbol where network signal should be.
Not sure what csc is.
It worked before in the g3 before I flashed to the omega rom so don't think it could be locked to a phone

phone's imei doesnt match true imei
hello,
what does it mean that the imei given by the phone doesnt match the original imei written on the back of the phone?
If for some reason the rom you put on your phone screws up the IMEI and replaces it with a generic IMEI you now have a different IMEI than before. This was happening with the SGS2's a while back when flashing certain roms... Was fixed pretty fast and haven't heard about it happening again BUT there's always a chance and no guarantees...
Is there anyway to fix it back without any backups?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It's actually happening quite a lot with the S3, especially the US-versions
Some people have claimed it to have been fixed when flashing a Stock ROM through Odin, but should it not be fixed then you'll need to have it repaired by Samsung.

Use "k-tool" to backup your imei and keep it in a safe place(upload to dropbox and PC) and use APN manager to backup apn settings. Btw is a brilliant app to have when traveling
Edit:u can recover your missing imei nr. But be sure to have the original efs folder,especially NV-data.bin most not have tampered with

Your imei is located under your battery on a sticker on the phone. Call your carrier and give them the correct imei to enter into their system. No need to call Samsung.

I was messing around with Rogers GS2 LTE i727R to use it Mobilicity (AWS). I had to flash a T989 ROM (T-mobile) and radio, and somewhere along the way, I messed up and IMEI disappeared.
I just started from scratch (factory reset/flash rom/flash radio) and IMEI returned and the phone is working.
You may want to completely wipe the phone and flash your rom/kernel/radio carefully.
Oh, and make sure your phone is unlocked as well.
So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

And are your APN settings correct ? (needs the TMO apn's)

Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.

You have to sim unlock the phone first. You could try to call ATT but being out of the country might make it difficult. Or you could follow the instructions in this thread:

I have replied in the PO you gave me, but in case I'll post it here too.
--------
I turned the phone off then insert the sim card, after that booted to recovery and flashed the modem and then I turned the phone on and clicked DISMISS and went to the dailer and insert this code *#197328640#, but The screen didn't change to the hidden menu as it said in the PO!!
What did I make wrong?!
You can call them from another country. I called from a land line in Germany to get my Captivate's code.
What do they need? Because the box is in my apt in USA and I just have the phone; my friends lives in my apt btw.
Also, I bought the phone from ebay not from a store; Is it going to be any problem?!
I bought the phone IN Germany from a guy in my group. No problems getting the code, nor when I called back because the local mifi sim I tried didn't work.
Ok, gonna try and call them, but what should I do with the modem I installed?Because currently I'm facing some lag and I think it's because the modem!!
Install the original modem back if you are not going to sim unlock your phone this way.

You should not go off flashing and installing things if you really don't know what you are doing. You have an ATT Note so flash an ATT Radio. There is the UCLF6 that was included with the released ATT ICS 4.0.4 and the newer UCMB4 that was just released in an update. Both are available on the forum with a simple search.
I recently picked up an unlocked verizon s9+. I have no service at all. I flashed the u1 firmware thinking that would fix the problem no luck. I put my sim in and it reset to configure for the sim still no service. My s7 edge has 2 bars and my wife's s8 has 3 so its not that I'm in a hole. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are phone calls and texts working? Have you checked the IMEI of the device to see if the phone has been blacklisted? Verizon would probably tell you, or there are various websites on the internet.
Other than that, what carrier Sim are you using in the phone, and have you made sure that the APN got set up properly? Hope you get it working!

That's good you got your money back. Probably somebody reported the phone lost or stolen or defaulted on the payments and now the IMEI is blacklisted. That's my guess anyway.

There are some okay vendors on eBay, I got mine from a mostly accurate vendor, phone was new and unlocked but originally from Verizon even though it was advertised as factory unlocked. Luckily I was able to flash it over and turn it into a perfect deal for myself. Good luck, and pop your sim into the phone first if you buy in person.
Picked up another for a descent price. Getting better signal than the 7 edge. Took your advice and checked real good.
