Hello, I recently bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 2 off of ebay, I put in my sim card and it doesn't read it. Originally i thought it was a hardware problem but when i typed *#06# It said IMEI Null/Null. Is there anyway i can possibly get this removed so I can use the phone? It is not rooted but I am willing to root it if it is needed to fix the problem, Thanks

T-mobile USA, or T-mobile Europe? They have different models.
You're in the right place for T-mobile Europe.
T-mobile USA's phone is different, and has a separate forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329
Hello,
I have come here asking for massive help i am in the U.K and got my s6 edge on contract through mobilephonesdirect on the EE network, for the last 3 months i had battery and 4G problems and sent it to EE they replaced something and reset the phone but its come back with vodafone software in italian on it even tho when it went to them it wasn't on there and they will not change it to EE they have told me i need to go back to mobilephonesdirect and get them to sort it as they have supplied me with a vodafone branded phone in italian when it should be EE, now i'm thinking to save all the bother of explaining it all to them i could root the phone and install EE branded software onto it? but this is where i need help I have never rooted and phone i do not want to brick the phone, so is anyone willing to point me the right way im guessing i need the EE software for the phone and a guide to install it. please help I have had nothing but problems trying to sort this.
Thanks Sam

Hi All,
I bought a LG V10 T-Mobile thru buy& sell online and didn't realized that it still Network Unlocked. I cannot use it to other Network provider and I am very frustrated already. I already try using several unlocking sites but the codes for my IMEI are always cannot be calculated. I'm not sure if this unit is just a demo and cannot be unlock. I also check my IMEI number to T-Mobile IMEI Checker from their site but unable to verify my number. Done also chatting with one of T Mobile support but they cannot also help me to unlock my phone. They said I need to by a T Mobile SIM Card but it is not possible because I'm from the Philippines. There is also a note engraved to my unit saying "Not for Sale H960A Rev 1.0".
Please help me if there's still a way to unlock the network of my phone.
Thank you.

Hello, I recently bought this phone, when I check it from settings menu, it shows D855 as model number. Also back on the phone its printed D855 several places. But when I enter the imei on several sites it shows up as sprint carrier model LS990. My imei ends with 855, so I dont know for sure if it represents model number. So how can I confirm which exact model it is because I dont want to install the wrong firmware on it. Thanks
I have the sameissue , it says D852 in the about phone, d852 in adb, but ls990 on imei.info .
Because of the risk of bricking my devices I'm still on stock KitKat (rooted)
Hey.
I had this same exact issue last year. You can check my previous posts.
The phone is probably LS990.... IMEI is everything
Email me and I can help you in reverting fully to LS990

Hoping someone can give me advise, my wife today received a Samsung galaxy s21 unlocked with an o2 contract, wifi calling is a must as are signal in the house is none existent, before i open the box, after speaking to o2 they have said.
"to get Wifi and 4G Calling, your device will need to use O2 firmware.
To check if your phone’s running O2 firmware, dial *#1234# and look at the CSC entry. If this line includes ‘TEF’, ‘O2U’ or ‘OTF’ then your device has O2 firmware and you can set up Wifi and 4G Calling.
If the CSC doesn't include one of these codes then Wifi and 4G Calling isn’t supported on your phone right now.
the company i bought the contact front said the phone is unlocked so this will not be o2 firmware
I've considered flashing with o2 firmware but cannot find a rom with TEF, O2U or OTF in the CSC
any advise would be appreciated
Please provide the model number of the phone from the About section.
Otherwise you can have a look samfw.com or https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Please do some research before flashing a carrier firmware. It could brick your device if not done properly or the firmware is for a different model number
