Hello everyone. I just got my Pocophone today but have been having issues activating my SIM. Currently, it says that "Find device can't activate SIM card: couldn't verify phone number." Has anyone found a fix for this? Also, would this error still be present if I installed Lineage OS? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Send a hiii text message to another available working number.
1. If it fails to send message, goto customer care of your sim network.
2. If message received by another, goto Los , you won't facing this.

I can send messages to others. I'll switch to Lineage as soon as my bootloader is unlocked. Thank you!

I have the Redmi K20 Pro and was able to fix this error. Go to Settings >> SIM cards & mobile networks >> Data roaming and set Overseas data roaming to "Always" (don't worry, this will only be for a few minutes). Let the activation services run again (you may have to repeat the activation attempt a few times), and your device should be able to activate the SIM and verify the phone number. When it's completed, you can turn the Overseas data roaming back to "Never."

Thanks! Unfortunately, even after switching to Lineage OS, I was only able to get 2G speeds. I ended up just switching to AT&T.

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.
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 updated my N915P from smart switch to Marshmallow and now i cannot get any signals...i have to unlock my phone again but i do not know how to do it. i bought it unlocked-pre rooted from the reseller but he isn't in touch anymore....please someone help me...and no i cannot spend any kind of money as i do not earn money myself and my parents won't allow me to either......also I'm from India so everything costs like hell here.....
FIX:
After searching through a lot of sites and forums I just tried to dial #72786# carrier reset as a hopeless experiment and viola my phone rebooted and was showing my carrier and i was able to make calls & SMS too. So I just want MODs to close this thread but do not remove it if someone else does the same mistake like I did.
NOTE: It will also ask for Device Activation after the reboot. Keep that in mind!
Just flash mm again whenever you get msg for android updating don't click okay just press home button and let it stay in notification. Your data will work normally.. I'm trying to find fix for it till then you need to use it the way it is..

insert your sim card
go in settings/networks/mode & set it to GSM
select manual operator & search for your carrier.
if that doesn't work then go in diler and enter ##72786#, select Yes and reboot and try the method i said again

Hi guys , i dunno if this is the right section for this question but i'm a newbie here , i got two sm-g925r7 locked to nTelos i think and i want to unlock them for international gsm use outside the u.s , is this possible ? if yes do you know a guy who can do them at a reasonably price ? since this can work on sprint cdma phones i don't see why it can't work on nTelos since they are both cdma ? correct me if i'm wrong , i need your help guuuuuys please.
How do you know if they're locked to nTelos? Did you try putting in another carrier's Sim card? Uru
nothing happens
i know couse i bought them on ebay and the sellers stated that in their description , and the sm-g925r7 is for cspire or ntelos only ? i tried using a foreign sim card , ( i'm outside the u.s ) and nothing happens , phones search for network 2-3 secs and then they just show that little barred signal icon on the top right corner
Well on the nTelos website it says all android phones are unlocked so I dont know.
checked that

You can unlock by enabling service menu
-Insert 4G sim card
Dial *#27663368378# -This will put you in service mode
* tap UE Settings & Info > Settings > Protocol > NAS > Network Control > Band Selection > Choose choice 7 “LTE/GSM MODE ONLY”
Restart

Ok I'll root using the sprint rooting as I've tried this before with success, but first I'll downgrade them to 5.1.1 and hopefully i'll get past this ,since the settings will be set to lte/gsm why wouldn't it work with calls ?

I hope flashing to sprint version or trying with different bootloader / modems could be the solution, I have not found any guide yet
Ok so i rooted the phone and used root explorer to enable service mode , restarted the phone , opened service mode and selected lte/gsm only , restart , phone asks for sim pin and then nothing , no data sms or calls
I am also interested in this unlock but haven't found a solution yet.

after enabling lte/gsm only, restart and go to settings > network mode > select lte/wcdma/gsm. try with different carriers and 4G sim cards to get signal (mine is working on Claro only, other carriers show "Searching" or "No service" )
If this is the go25r7wwu3cpc1 how did you root?? I'm on firmware 6.0.1 can't find root anywhere..

you tryed to unlock with z3x box?
g925r7 is currently not listed in Z3X box support list.
need rmt_storage patch to make changes to bands inside the phone.
inside item 1787 (3G GSM bands), this item has no support.
Reason why it doesn't work for calls is because VOLTE is not enabled by default in CSC
usually a device like this will fall back to 3G when making calls on GSM networks. Thus the reason why calls aren't working.

Hi all,
Alright so this is going to be a long post. So I recently flashed my phone to the U1 firmware, I currently have an unrooted Verizon Unlocked Samsung S9+. I wanted to switch phone carriers over to Visible (subsidiary of Verizon), here are the order of events that occurred:
1. Visible's website says that my device in not compatible using their IMEI checker, there is a solution that was found on reddit about flashing the device on the U1 firmware.
2. I flashed the device on the U1 firmware using Odin and the Visible SIM card worked as expected. No issues with the flash
3. Data/Texts etc.. are all working as expected. Except for Voicemail.
When I try to check my Voicemail, it is acting as if it's still on the Verizon Voicemail system. It says "Welcome to the message management system, please enter your mailbox number". No one can leave me a VM either because of this. I tried several different combinations of numbers, including my full 10 digit cell number and last 4, to which it says "XXX is not a valid mailbox number", which would be because my number is no longer active on Verizon, so it's unable to access it. Which makes sense. The Visible Customer Care team tried the following:
1. Provisioning my VM multiple times
2. Take out SIM card, turn phone off for 1 min, insert SIM card again, and toggle airplane mode for 30 seconds
3. Reset network settings
After numerous days of troubleshooting with them, eventually they said it was because my device isn't compatible, ok, I can't argue with that. I have not seen anyone else experiencing this issue that had flashed their phone to U1 firmware.
After trying all of this with them, I eventually factory reset my device, hoping that might do something. That still did not work.
My questions is, is there something I missed with flashing the U1 firmware? Why is it still using Verizon's VM system even though I flashed it to U1? Is there any way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate if you need any other information.

Please check your voice mail settings in your phone app. See my screenshots.
There you should select the correct service provider and the Visible mailbox number.
