Well that's the situiation, it sim-locks even though i have my phone with the sim from the carrier i bought it, i'd like to know if it is just me or other people with e10a are experiencing the same problem?:s
And also since this happened i noticed that in previous version of e10a firmware there was no sim-lock enforcement like this one, just hardware, even though i flashed firmwares from other countries and even e10i; and this new sim-lock it's not the firmware, because i installed cyanogenmod and it still gave me the sim-lock
Anyways what i'm trying to say is, and it might be a wild guess, but the sim-lock is enforced by kernel from 2.1.1.A.0.6 onwards, maybe not entierly but in a way that the kernel or one of the other files that are flashed (excep system, ruled it out by trial and error) has the region code or the carrier number or whatever it is that tells the device that the sim is not from the carrier it's lock down to, so with that maybe we could locate that code and modify it to our actual carrier number or maybe an unlocked mode, kind of like how the galaxy S unlock works
Same problem here. I have searched and still have not found a solution. And I am weary of paying $40 to unlock my cell phone to use it with its original carrier and sim card after paying full price for the phone and my carrier has no idea about how to get me an unlock code. Oh well, back to 2.1.
I have the same 'problem', but...
Have you tried pressing the 'dismiss'-button?
That does the trick for me.
If I select dismiss, I will be able to access all the features, but not the phone functions. I just reverted to 2.1 (2.0.A.0.504) and everything works the way it should.

it sometimes happens to me and the dismiss button give me all the features the phone can provide, and all that the sim can give me : phone call, web, sms, mms and everything else.
the phone works perfectly after dismiss button pressed here.
and please, here was not the right place to start this thread
For many people like me after i press the dismiss button i cannot get acces to any of the sim services i.e. calls, mms , sms, but i didn't mean this post to be so much of complaining, but more for trying to find ways to unlock the phone given the peculiarity of this "sim-lock" that must mean that in the newer firmware it is enforced through software, try to find a solution kind of like rotohammers sim unlock method, maybe some devs can share some light in the equivalent of the samsung galaxy s/tab /efs folder

ok ... I didn't know that ...
did you try turn on/off flight mod to see if this change anything?
yep i checked if flight mode was turned on, on and off doesn't get signal.
But anyways i found something interesting, in root explorer on the root of the phone memory there is a "vendor" file, that i can't copy and when i delete it and reboot my phone first time couldn't find my sim, a couple times later it found my sim and didn't throw the please enter network unlock thing but could not conect to the network, and later it showed again the network unlock screen, and the file was once again where i deleted it, and i dont remember seeing that "vendor" file in previous firmwares i.e: 2.0.A.0.504.
someone correct me if i'm wrong, anyways i upload a screenshot of the file
Hi all,
My friend attempted to unlock her X10i (not sure how), but basically although the phone boots past the SE logo, it sits on a blank screen with a cross through the network icon when any SIM is inserted.
I have flashed back (various ROMS) with SEflasher and now have the full menu, but it still wont recognise a SIM card. Is there a way to rectify this?
I get the message no SIM recognised when trying to use SETool, so I suspect its screwed something up.
Any Ideas to recover connectivity?
Thanks in advance.
Herbert
Can you still make any calls? Did you try to? In your network setting can you select your carrier?
Try to go in your APN setting and set them manually. Google your carrier APN setting and input all of them. I am in Rogers and i got around 5 of them for calling, internet, SMS, MMS, etc.
When done put your phone in Plane mode, wait a bit and put on 3G or wtv you use. See if it works. If not set them up and restart the phone.
You can also use this program: APN Backup&Restore. If you can roll back to a rom where it works or if a friend has Droid phone and is on the same network, install the app there, run it and backup the APN settings.
Then install that same app on your phone via FlashTool and put the backed-up file on your phone (SD Card) and use that app to restore the APN settings.
See if that works. I had a problem where i didnt have internet connection but could still make calls, use that manual setup/app and it worked for me.
Let me know if it works.

check baseband plz !!! which method did u follow to unlock ur x10????
she messed up the service menu of the sim which only telecom operators should use. sadly, now she gotta get a new sim card.
I Posted befor...no solu till now..
Problems:
1.NO Network on My x10..
2.Insert Simcard & restart Phone..(even when simcard inserted)
3.When Manually selected..it says Simcard Dosent allows Network..
4.Tryed Many Sims, all of them works in another phone...
5.Have tryed N number of roms..even stock roms
Please help...m fedup of all this.....been a long time havent got any solution...
Thanks in adv....
did u tried reparing it with Suite??????/
where did you get the phone? is it possible that it has been reported lost or stolen and locked down by the network.
If you go into settings >> about phone, is your baseband number shown or does it say unknown?
If it's unknown you may have to have it repaired/replaced - that randomly happened to my wife's X10 about 5 weeks after unlocking her bootloader, and we tried everything (different kernels, different ROMs, relocking bootloader, reverting back to stock 2.1, repairing with PC companion etc etc).
Some things we tried fixed it, but only until the phone was rebooted then it would be back to no signal and say baseband unknown again.
In the end, she had to get it replaced - sorry, it sounds like this may be the case for you too (hope not!!)

Hi.
I have a big problem with my G2, and have tried many things.
It all started 2 weeks ago. I lost connection to my network.
I tried many things, and ended up giving it to a repair shop, in China, as I was there shortly. They put a new firmware into the phone, and a chinese SIM card worked.
I found an english version of the firmware, and asked them to update with that version, No problem. Everything worked well...but when I arrived back to Denmark, same problem. Not registered on the network.
Now I have tried many things, as Kies could not recognize the firmware version. I burned a 2.35 version into the phone with Odin, and Kies regocnized the version, and now updated to 4.03. Great, but ... I have the same problem. APN settings acc to my network provider. Oister 3 in Denmark.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. And I cant send it in for repair, as the flash counter says 10 times.
Is ther someone here, with a very deep knowledge in Logs etc, as I can send Logs if I am explained what to do.
The short time the phone worked, did I really love it.
And also the chinese SIM can not connect from Denmark.
I would prefer all Logs etc in private email, but if we solve it, I will poste solutions and results here.
Best of regrads
Morten
As for the counter, install and run triangleaway - it can be found in the SGSII section of XDA.
Check that the sim card works (try it on another phone) and borrow another sim card (on the same network). It is amazing how many problems like this are due to a damaged sim card or just not connecting correctly. I had a friend who took the sim card out to flash their Samsung Galaxy 3 and put in the sim card wrongly and couldn't make a call.
Can you copy your contacts to or create one in the sim card?
I doubt that it is a problem with the EFS folder, ie no IMEI number because it was fixed with a china sim, but it may be. Is the IMEI number you get from dialing *#06# 004999010640000 or different from the label under the battery? If so then you have a EFS folder problem. There is an app that may fix it - it requires root - * HERE *
Mobile network
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
A:
I can make, copy, edit etc contact directly at the simcard in the phone, and also copy, edit etc from Kies to the Sim card. And yes. It is the simcard I can do those things at. Double checked that it was somcard and not the phone memory
B:
Double checked the IMEI number again.
Label phone same as *#06#
Further information:
In the first day, I tried many many things to get the phone working.
I searched the internet a lot, and I found some kind of help. Like with IMEI check, I should type a code like *#xxxx# or *xxxx* Stupid as I was, I did not write down the code, and also did not safe the page on the internet, so I have no idea what code I wrote. I am sure it was something regarding Mobile network or CSC.
Reg Triangle away.
My phone is no longer rooted, as I try to have it in original mode, so its ready to send to repair, if needed. Triangleaway needs the phone to be routed, right ?
And will that not require an unsafe kernel ?
After resetting, then I suppose I need to install an original kernel again, and will that not make the counter go to 1 ?
Any other ideas ?
Regards
Morten
can you be little clear....
no network or no data (internet) on your current network
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
Hi,
I got the same problem but different scenario

1. my phone is unlocked(international).
2. signal show full, but no phone call
3. I don't use data, but wifi, and no problem with wifi.
Well, this : not registered on network only happen if phone idle for more than 3hrs, meaning phone just work normally if I don't let it idle for long time. This very frustrating as every morning after wake up I have to switch between airplane mode for phone working again.
Greatly appreciated for your help
Thanks in advance
P/s: currently on Slim rom(cm9). But have tried almost all custom rom found in xda, problem still exist. Even try to change CSC to my current country( Thailand) on stock DL7( included Thailand region), no luck. APN setting also change to default network provider.
Mobile network problem
Hi.
Please see my answers below
1: do you have a locked phone or unlocked. [carrier locked when new]
The phone worked before, and was not locked, but as I send a command to the phone, could I have locked it ? How can I check that ? And it does not give me any warning when I start the phone up.
When I try to make a call, it right away says: Dialling ...Call ended.
2: no network will be no signals at all, no phone call....
No mobile network. It is ONLY a problem with phone calls and reciving calls.
I have plenty of signal
3: no data will be you cant browse, send receve emails
Data is right now not working, WiFi works.
I cant get correct APN settings, as my provider sends this as system configuration to the phone, but cant recive it.
3A: My provided is named 3 Oister, and normally this provider is listed under Network operators. On this phone it is NOT listed. 3 Oister is using network of 3, and only network of 3 is listed.
If I pull down the menu from the topbar on the phone, it actually says 3 Oister, but 3 Oister is not listed under Network Operators.
On my other SG2, 3 Oister is listed in Topbar and under Network Operators.
I bought a new SG2 as well, and we are 2 persons using SG2 here.
4: counter can be fixed easy as now your on ics
How ? Can I do that without rooting and install different firmware ?
I do run ICS ver 4.03, updated by Kies.
In worst case, I will send the phone in for repair, but for sure, needs the counter reset.
Regards
Morten
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .

Mobile network problem
Hi
Please find answers below:
Put a new firmware in the phone then probably wrong modem and CSC for your location .
As my counter says 10, you can see, I have tried this several times, and its also written in my first post.
Please send the code for check of CSC and changing CSC. As I remember it is set to be NEE.
Chinese sim unlikely to work 4000 miles away but that is easy to swap sim .
Chinese SIM works all over the world, as long as Roaming is allowed. And it works in the other phone. Now I have the Denmark SIM in, and same problem. Yes, I did close down the phone, changed SIM and started the phone again. Exactly SAME problem.
Rom counter for ICS use the search tool for the relevant post .
Would be nice to have the info written here instead.

Then your answer is hardware fault if above are ruled out as not a problem.

Sorry i refuse point blank to search for someone else .
Neither do i have the relevant post bookmarked otherwise it would have been posted .

1: forget all your idea's do exact as i say
2: remove your sdcard
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
if your phone works now put your sdcard back and do whatever now you want.

next time start your own thread........ this time im helping
do as i posted for the OP but instead of his firmware download your country specific firmware.
seems as a modem issue but can be sim related.
Mobile network problem
Hi again
Followed the guide very detailed
3: using cwm format system, cache, data, sdcard [system is a must]
Wiped all data in System and also Wiped Cache, using:
Root the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 running XXLPQ firmware and install ClockworkMod Recovery: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar
Done with Super User Granted.
4: remove battery / insert back goto download mode
Done
5: flash the ROM you downloded using odin, after restart dont do any restores
Flashed with Odin 1.85 in PDA: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5
6: wait for few minutes now dial this *2767*3855# [important]
Done. Phone shows Factory Reset in big letters
dont restore any backups including titanium stuff.
Nothing restored.
Booted up, and automatic installed APK's
Same problem.
Only difference is that now the counter says 11 counts
But thanks for a detailed and well told possibility.
As I see it, the problem is connected to the standard the phone connects to the Mobile grid. As I told earlier, I made a stupid thing. I send a command with *#xxxx* in the phone, and I cant remember what code, and I did not save the page on the internet. I really think the problem is about a standard. That the phone is setup to a standard that the 3G net is not using in Denmark.
I can dump logs etc, if anyone can help. But I need to know how.
Regards
Morten
buddy your problem was.... network right? is it working now?
forget counter it will be fixed....later using triangle away with ics bootloader
---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
if your phone now works fine with calls send and recieve, manually add the apn to get 3G.
Mobile network problem
Hi
Nope. Did not solve the problem.
Just ran Triangle away, and moved the Firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100HTDLP3_I9100NELP2_HOME.tar.md5 to the SD card.
Will try now to install it by CWM
And then I give up. Will try to send it for repair ..... really a shame, as I really would have liked to solve it here
Cheers
Morten
Mobile network problem
Hi Buddy
It finds a lot of Networks, but cant connect to any of them
3 networks with 3G and 4 with 2 G
But not the Mobile network I need to connect to> Oister 3
My other SG2 finds that network without any problem
Cheers
Morten
I had the same problem too. At first I tought it was a rom issue, but it wasn't actually. I turned my phone off and removed and placed back my sim card and it worked.
Mobile network problem
Finished programming original firmware using CMW as source for Odin, after counter was reset to 0, and the pnone status is the same as before, but counter is 0.
So will try to send it in for repair.
Thanks to u all.
And SIM card has been removed several times, even tried with a different.
No luck at all
Cheers, and thanks again
Morten
Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I've been using my phone in Brazil and now i'm in the UK, it's doing exactly as you describe.

How would you go about checking these?

Compare the IMEI that displays when you type *#06# to the IMEI printed on the label under your battery. They should be the same.
For your own sake, do NOT post what the IMEI under the battery actually is, whether it's the same as what's displayed when you dial *#06# or not.
As for checking IMEI blocking by the carrier, that should be obvious. Call your carrier.
Greetings,
after I lost on my xperia m4 aqua signal and couldn't connect to any network I went to *#*#4696#*#* and checked if radio is on and modified networks to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), I got it back for some time, but after that it stopped receiving any signal again. While searching around in menus I selected USA Band (the only one in menu, thought it is OK to click it, as there wasn't even back button -.- ), it still didn't work. I read on forum some users lost reception after changing band. After which I proceeded by flashing original firmware (I relocked bootloader and used Sony PC Companion), which didn't solve my problem. The next step I choose was to flash modem.sin using flashtool from firmware downloaded through xperifirm (for my country, my mobile and same operator), but I still cant connect to any networks and when I try to find any, even tho my IMEI is correct, but I receive message: "Error while searching for networks". I am now completely lost as to what to do next, so I created this thread in hopes of getting assistance solving this problem.
EDIT:
My sim card is working in other phones, but in this phone doesn't work any sim. 1st I lost LTE signal only and could use 3G, 2 days ago only EDGE was working, but now I can't get any signal. I wasn't doing any modifications to system in-between. Does it mean my antenna is probably dead?
