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

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?

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.

There have been a few users claiming to have fixed it without Efs backups in the sgs2 forum (from fading memory). Have a search there, as any method will /should be similar
Worth a search/try, or as posted above, will need to return to 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

I don't know if you tried to pull out the simcard and clean the contacts. This was a common issue on the HTC Desire HD and this little fix worked fine.

Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?
[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

Ok,
so here comes the question my girlfriend always asks me :laugh:
"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?
I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.
Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.
Probably wrong Kernel, happened often to me on my old sensation

I purchased two samsung S3's but unlocked, i bought them on craigslist and am now a little worried. I notice that under status, it says that the Serial number is not available?
Why not? Does that have something to do with unlocked phones?
I took the phone to ATT and they put a demo sim in there, it said it was on the ATT netowrk but I could not call anyone, the ATT salesman said that it was because the SIM was a demo, sound true?
I also went to TMOBILE and put a sim in, and it said it was on the TMOBILE network but did not try to make a call.
What do you guys make of this?
i just put my tmobile sim in it and i can make calls, but absolutly no internet
Mine is unlocked and I have a serial number.

We're you aware of the problem before you bought it? I think the buyer ripped you of.
For internet to work have the network and you the apk, or search online for the apn settings for at&t or T-Mobile.

I recently purchased a note 3 and I didn't have a sprint sim for it. I ordered one and inserted it but I still get the notification "No SIM". I've rebooted the phone and checked to make sure the SIM Card is in correctly. What do I do.

Either your SIM is bad or your reader may be faulty. I know sellers like to sell phones without the SIM in it to hide a failed SIM reader.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm fairly sure the SIM Card Reader is functional because I put a Verizon sim in originally to try to remove the notification. I will switch the Sims for my note 3 and 2. To find out if my sprint sim is faulty. I'm doubtful but best to check
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
OK just checked the sprint sim card is functional as I get a non Verizon sim notification in my note 2 and when I put the Verizon sim in the note 3 I get invalid sim so this means the sim reader is functional on the note 3 and the sprint sim card is usable. What's going on then

I'd still try another Sprint SIM. When you get the replacement one MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM IT'S FOR A NOTE 3!!! As far as I know, there's different SIM cards for different devices. A SIM from an iphone 4s won't work in a Note 3.

I can give you the link for the sim I got. As far as I know it's the only sprint sim out there that I could find. Would It be possible to flash the note 3 to Verizon, At&t, or T mobile. If it would be easier than getting a new sim.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter. I could be wrong. But from my experience the SIM model number does matter. The model number varies amongst the various Sprint devices and I recall what worked for one phone didn't work for another.

So wait....you're trying to flash? It's unable to be unlocked to GSM. If you flash the device you don't need the SIM. The SIM is ONLY for 4g LTE. If you flash you won't get LTE, and therefore you don't need the SIM and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know how to flash the baseband.

Huh?
You lost me. I just want the notification gone. I'm trying to use the note 3 as a media device not a phone as of now. If I could flash it might remove my error. I don't know if it's even possible. Not worried about the LTE till late when I may or may not use the note 3 as a phone. Data charges get me. But if there's a way to fix the sim issue with no flash that would be ideal. But if not its alright I can probably flash or try order yet another sim. Or try to find another solution.

I think someone found out how to remove the no sim notification by editing something in the build.prop. But honestly, it doesn't even do anything. You can still use the phone on Wi-Fi and you can get it flashed to use talk/text/mms/3g.

You'd need to root the phone and get some kind of file explorer. It's not that hard. The most difficult part will be finding what to edit/add to the build.prop file.

I had a problem with the SIM card from a Note 3 that I bought on Swappa. My problem was that my phone would not switch to 4G LTE. It gave me some EHRPD error and occasionally a no SIM card found error.
The way I fixed this is I wrote down the serial number off the card itself then contacted Sprint via chat support. The number on the card was different than the number Sprint had assigned to my phone. They changed the number to the number of the card I had, rebooted my phone and the problem was fixed. Now I have 4G LTE and no longer get a no SIM card detected error.
I suggest writing down the number from your card, contact Sprint via chat and have them change the number of your card to your phone. That might fix it for you. How this helps!
Why not just take a trip to the Sprint store. They should be able to fix your issue.
