No service (TELUS) MIUI

I follow this guide completely
theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-miui-rom/
The only problem is that i don't have service (TELUS) wich is quite why I have a cell phone
I try to flash the telus modem, didn't change anything.
I reset all setting including darlik (something like that)...
My IMEI is still not showing too.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.
do you see any networks when you go to Settings > Wireless and network > Network operators ?
Didn't have this problem when I tried out CM7 on my t959d
When I go to setting/ system/mobile network settings /network operators
I received a error message saying: error while searching for networks.
I cannot roll-back since my download mode is not working.
Thanks.

what do you mean your download mode is not working? key-combo doesn't work for you? does miui/gingerbread not have soft-reboot to download mode?
i was able to access dl mode fine on cm7 via hard button (volume- and power on phone model screen, release power button before boot animation starts )
I had this problem repeatedly, I ended up copying my efs folder from my rooted stock and then deleted the folder in CM7 and paste the backup copy. I had to do it every time I flashed back to stock.

Solved "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"

Hello Everyone, I am using Samsung Ace s5830i and since yesterday I am not able to make any calls, when I try to call a number it says "Mobile Network not available" but I can see good signal strength and I am also able to use GPRS. In the notification area it says "Emergency calls only".
I went to Settings -> mobile networks, when I try to manually select my operator(TATA Docomo, i'm from India) i get the error "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
I have removed the sim card, inserted in another mobile, it works fine. When I try try to insert a sim card of some other operator into ace I get the same errors listed above.
These are the things that I have tried.
1. Removed the sim card, battery inserted them back and restarted the phone
2. Restored my Nandroid backup
3. Complete factory reset
None of these worked and still I get the same error.
Information regarding the phone:
Model- Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830i rooted with CWM 5.0.2.6
Android version - 2.3.6
Mobile network type - GPRS
Network- TATA Docomo
Signal Strength - -90dBm
Service state - Out of service
Mobile network state - Disconnected
IMEI - Unknown
I have called Network provider they say fault is with the phone.
Any help would be really appreciated...

you have lost your IMEI... u'll need to flash stock firmware via odin!
see this thread for procedure!

Re: Help "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
Just for the knowledge, what may be the reason for losing imei and does flashing stock rom retrieve my imei.
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
possible reasons are many...i don't know what files did you flash? (Rom/kernel/scripts)
Cronmod script is known to have this issue...did you flash this script?
Flashing stock rom with odin will give back your imei!
What's your ROM/kernel? and what scripts did u flash?
Re: Help "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
I am using stock rom. No i didn't flash cronmod script. I'm not sure but i think problems started after installing Online Nandroid backup tool maybe it has installed some scripts, i'm not blaming the tool it is fanastic app to make nandroid backups.
Let me flash custom rom, hope problem goes off.

[Q] Unable to connect to any mobile network

Hi,
I have upgraded my motorola droid razr xt910 using safe strap. I was unable to send sms when I am in international roaming, so searched in google for the solution and found short code "*#*#4636*#*#" to change SMSC settings. While working with that short code I did some change in settings (not sure what I did ), from then my phone is unable to connect to mobile network.
When I tried to connect to network manually it is giving "error while searching for the networks.". I did factory reset from safe strap and hard-reset by holding VOL-UP+VOL_DOWN and power on. Even that did not resolve the problem. I went back to the stock rom while booting the device, but there also I am getting the same error. :crying:
Kindly help.
Found solution
Finally I managed to fix the problem.
Happy...

NOTE 3 N900P SPRINT LOST APN,IMEI after Factory Reset! Help S.O.S

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.

Is there a tutorial i could follow here ?
I greatly appreciate your help,

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.

network problem in my moto g2

Recently i have flashed my moto g2(XT1068) with resurection remix custom rom and i don't know for some weird reason my phone is not receiving any network. I have cheked my phone's imei number it is there and not wiped during the flashing process. My phone detects the sim perfectly but only problem is that my device shows "no service", when i try to select mobile network manually from sim management, it shows "error while seaeching the network" and when i select automatic select mobile network it shows "registered on network" without taking any second to search. My phone keeps showing "no service" in the network section. I have already tried flashing stock rom but it did't work, now You guys are my last hope. please reply to my problem. Hope you have number of possible solution!!!!
