Sim Problem - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys !
First of all i'm a noobie in this world ( root flash etc..)
So i bought a galaxy s6 edge from a friend (in Switzerland) it's not stolen or a lost phone... . Everything is okey except Mobile network , i cant call anyone or send message etc , the phone just don't read the sim card. I tried to factory reset wipe cache etc on android lolipop and nothing . then i tried to install 6.0.1 and still not working and also now the codes like*#0*# not working .
Idk if it is important but i haven't got this menu in my settings http://www.alcatel-mobile.com/car-en/images/contents/Q1_1.png and this one too http://i.imgur.com/EgHR27i.jpg
I also checked the IMEI blacklist to be sure and everything is okey.

So someone can help me ?
Thank you !!

Hi there,
Same problem here and it happened right after MM OTA upgrade.
Does anybody find a solution?
Thanks!!

Anyone??

I've found out that in my case it could be a blacklisted imei number. I've bought about a year ago this smartphone and if I will be able to collect more information I will call the previous owner.
Thanks for your "support" ...

Maybe Your Phone Is Locked To Carrier Network
Which Means U Can only use Simcard From that Carrier
Ask The previous Owner If the is locked or not

[Q] [B] No Receiving, better just limited receiving with the SGS2?! iam clueless [/B]

Hello XDA members,
I have a big problem with my SGS2!
If i try to run my SGS2 with my SIM (Telekom) then i do not have reception,
but if iam nearly 800meters in front of a send masts, I've got reception. Oô
If i took my old MobilePhone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10) i works fine, I took any other Mobilephones/Smartphones it works fine.
If i try to use SIM-cards from other Providers in my SGS2 like Vodafone, O2, Alditalk, it works fine. (But WHY not with MY SIM???)
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions, NOTHINK Works :/
After this I go to Telekom (i've not buyed there my SGS2, i've bought it from a friend, but he can use it normaly) and described the same,
so I've got 6 different versions of a SIM - Card, like 1,8V and 3,3V variants, NOTHING works! -.-
After this, i tried to ROOT my MobilePhone, but any attempt be unsuccessful.
Nowadays I tryed the Special "Telekom" Android Version (2.3.6) of the SGS2, unsuccessful.
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
I hope you have some ideas!
best regards

[PS: Sorry for my baad English!!!! ]
Hmm.. probably not the best option, but... change your operator but maintain the same number ?
If other sim cards work then there should be the problem with the Telekom one!

One wrong modem/baseband change it .
Two network settings not entered correctly .

Damaged Sim ask for replacement sim .
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions,
WHY ???

Sell it or read the faqs and guides posted here and flash a stock rom .
Add to that phone needs a service repair .

first of all, check your EFS. It might crashed before u do anything else as its a possible root of problem. Dial *#06# and does it show your IMEI? Then go to settings and about phone, does it show what baseband you are on? If no imei or baseband unknown, your EFS is broken.
After checking the EFS issue, then u may proceed on thinking bout other solutions to it. Just confirm it first

[Q] Unlock Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 4.3

Hi all.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 currently locked on the T-Mobile UK (Now EE) Network.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number : GT-I9300
Android Version : 4.3
Baseband Version : I9300BVUGNB2
Kernal Version : 3.0.31-2372379 [email protected] # 1 Mon Feb 17 22:21:57 KST 2014
Build Number : JSS15J.I9300XXUGNB5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking to unlock the sim so I can use a different carrier.
This is what I've tried so far....
I have sucessfully Rooted my phone
I have SuperSU, CWM Rom Manager, CWM Recovery, BusyBox Free.
I have tried GalaxSim Unlock and it identifies my IMEI Number and reports that Network Lock, Subset Network Lock, SP Lock, CP Lock & Data Lock are all unlocked & States that "Your Device Is Unlocked", however I'm still locked to T-Mobile.
After reading here on xda I believe this is because of the EFS v2 ???
Is there any way to SIM unlock this at the moment without going through T-Mobile?
Is there another way round this?
Can I down grade EFS? (I don't have any backups)
Happy to use a custom ROM or what ever is needed in order to do this.
Thanks for your help
Kind Regards,
Lee

Not possible I'm afraid only paid code will work on 4.3 and there is no such thing as downgrade efs.But whatever you do I would recommend backing up your efs asap.

Thanks for your reply.
Whats the best way to backup my EFS? Have you a link to a how too?
If I purchase the unlock code from T-Mobile / EE and use it to unlock my carrier if I then decide to go and install a custom ROM / mess with my phone, would this affect the sim unlock? I just want to make sure that once it's unlocked thats it, forever...
Thanks again!
Ha I've just seen point 3 in your sig about EFS.
Software
I unlocked my device in these steps:
1. Download a firmware version from Sammobile of your country
2. Search a version from your country with no Branding
3. Dowload it and Odini
4. Flash through Download Mode
Worked for me..

Mmm.. If it was that easy everybody would be doing it perhaps you where not fully sim locked also as far as I know 4.3 can't be unlocked even Galaxy sim unlock dev say's if you are on efsv2 that it is not possible to unlock at the moment without code.
Don't know

I meant my phone was locked. And after some custom ROMs and rooting, go back to stock and so on, my phone wasn't locked anymore. Maybe I've done something I didn't know anymore
So for unlocking where is a reputable place to get a code? (can I just take it to a market stall?)
I have a i9300 locked to UK Orange and I need to get it unlocked.
Responses from seasoned forum members especially appreciated!

I've purchased the unlock code form T-Mobile. Currently waiting on there upto 20 days.....
Still wish I didn't have to do this as it's just a bullying tactic to try to force you to renew a contract or go PAYG with them. I completely disagree with this type of mentality of a company.
Thanks for your help everyone.

I have the same issue. Built a S3 i9300 out of bits n bobs and bought just a motherboard on line, which was/is locked to Orange UK, just like you want to unlock it and am having no joy. Nothing works. Installed a stock orange rom, that didn't work either.
Did you get this sorted and how?

Android 7.0 after imei change

Good night, I have a galaxy s6 edge 925i, and after some time using it my operator blocked his imei (only in my operator, in the other of brazil it worked perfectly), I took the device in a assist and changed the imei of the device , I wonder if I can upgrade the phone to android 7.0, I am currently in 5.1.
And what procedure should I take in case it is possible to update it without it's problem with the imei again?
Thank you all for helping me.

Hello . How the imei changed in first place?
If im not wrong... G925I Nougat update rolled out only for India flagship devices yet...
You can flash it or wait for official Region/ Carier you have at the moment!
But you said your device is on 5.1 speaking at the moment...
You should be on 6.0.1
Or you just didn't update it?
Flashing stock firmware via Odin is safe and you won't loose your imei
But you can make a back up of it!

Reading his poll...
I understood that his imei was blacklisted by operators of the SIM he used...
But still doesn't make sense...
