Hey xda family. I have a problem. My brother yesterday hard reset his Alcatel Hero 2. When the phone powered on after completion of the hard reset procedure it didn't have any network. With the SIM card inserted it just asks for the SIM PIN, then it does not register on the network. Under settings it says "Mobile Network Type Unknown", and using *#*#4636#*#* to change between the network modes has no impact. I have also tried to upgrade the ROM with Alcatel's own software called Mobile Upgrade S 4.2.2 but it says I have the latest firmware. What can be the problem? And better yet, can anyone suggest any possible solutions. Regards.

Hello everyone, Happy Monday
I have a TOSHIBA TG01 original service provider Telefonica Movistar Spain.
Windows 6.5 OS
I am currently living in Greece and tried to use a WIND GREECE sim card.
At first my phone asked for my PIN, then afterwords asked for a network unlock code. I made the mistake of guessing the code a couple of times.
I finally purchased a network unlock code, but the phone dose not give me the option to enter this code anymore after entering my PIN.
The Home Screen Displays: BLOCKED SIM
If I click on the network icon it asks my for NETWORK PUK, ( I DONT KNOW THIS CODE) what is this? I cant find information about this ether.
I tried to find several ways to get back the option to re-enter the code using the information I can find on internet and forums, but can not find a solution.
It seems other phones give the option at some point using Dialing Pad Codes, or thru some settings... but I cant find a list of Dialing Pad Codes specifically for Toshiba TG01 or any Toshiba phones.
Is there any simple solution to this problem?
Steps I have tried.
1. Hard reset and soft rest... No success.
2. Hard reset and soft rest with sim card... No success.
3. Entering unlock code in Network PUK screen... No success.
4. Entering unlock code in a 0 reception area... No success.
5. Tried several different sim cards... No success.
This seems to be a internal block on the phone, is there anyway to reset this?
personal discovery
1. I used Total Commander to explore my phone.
2. I downloaded identical SimLock files from this site from another person that had a unlocked Tg01 Movistar Spain.
3. Swapped the ones i had on my phone.
4. Realized the phone was unlocked, but was running really really slow.
5. I hardreset my phone, because it wasn't worth it and went back to my normal Blocked Sim state.
This to me means somewhere in those files was the key to my counter reset problem, since the phone didnt ask for anymore Network PUK code.
If someone could enlighten me as to what actually happened?
No registard network problem
i Have Samsung galaxy note 2 GT-N7100(Rooted) i do have signal on the top right corner and i restart the phone it asks for a unlock code i have unlocked it in the passed

1. Back Up and rest that had no luck with it
2. i have installed GT-N7100_XXEMJ2_Modem to the phone no luck
3. installed 4.3 jelly bean ROM
4. i tried Ariza patch

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.
Hi, i have some problems with No Sim Card detected on Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 from T-Mobile (Austrian)
Firstly i unlocked the phone at the shop and was really unlocked on all sim cards but than i did a factory reset and the phone no longer detects sim card from other carriers, it only detects sim card from T-Mobile, It dosen't even shows the menu when you turn on the phone for network unlock.
I tryed using those secret codes to show the network unlock menu but they didn't work since the phone was updated to 4.3 firmware.
So i followed this guide on androible downgrade-galaxy-s3-i9300-android-4-3-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware
To downgrade to 4.1.2 firmware along with provided modem file. The secret codes now do show menu's but when i click on UMTS RF NV it says it's not supported.
Also instead of downgrading to T-Mobile 4.1.2 Firmware i downgraded it to Orange 4.1.2 Firmware hope that dosen't effects it in anyways? Phone otherwise works just fine IMEI Number shows OK.
I tryed 2 different SIM cards from orange none of them worked, it only detects SIM from T-Mobile.
To recap it all agean: I wish to unlock this phone so i can use different SIM card's but the phone is on NO Sim card, emergency calls only but when i insert T-Mobile Sim it works, Also there is no Network Unlock Menu shown durning turn on or reset since i already Unlocked the phone once with a code. Does anyone has any clue how to fix this or unlock it without rooting the phone.
Hello all,
It has been awhile since I've been on here. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section (this forum has changed so much over the years).
Anyways, I am currently a T-Mo customer and just got a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy SGH-M819N because I thought I could simply flash a rom that would allow me to use T-Mobile sim card. However, it turns out that it may not be that simple.
Can someone advise whether or not I am able to unlock the sim (without paying it through sites such cellunlocker.net) via flash? If so, would you be kind to direct me to the site or page which gives directions?
Thanks,
eastbay80
oK, i paid
4update:
I am ended buying an unlock code via eBay for $14.99. I enter the code and the phone no longer asks for SIM unlock code BUT now it does not register with any carriers.
i inserted my t-mo sim card into the phone, go to settings, and tried to automatically and manually connect to the tmobile network but keep getting the "unable to connect at this time. try again later" message.
i contacted tmobile via chat and provided imei number and sim card number but was still unable to connect.
i flash backed to stock firmware 4.4.4 and still no luck.
i checked my "device info" and under "phone status" it shows my phone number assigned to the sim card but not connecting to service provider.
Any ideas anyone? Please help.

I am able to connect with the stock Metro PCS apn.
I am also able to use TMO apn as well.
Make sure the apn is correct.
Go to more networks and then mobile network.
