Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?
Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.
I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!

HI GUYS...
I UNLOCKED MY SAMSUNG GALAXY INFUSE AS USUAL, AND ITS OK "UNLOCKED"...

NOTE:
MABY THE PROBLEM FROM THE IMEI NUMBER, BECAUSE I GOT IT WRONG , IT IS LIKE IN THE ATTACHMENT.
PLEASE GUYS HELP ME ....
Yep, a borked imei number will not allow you to connect to your cellular network...
I'm guessing that your efs folder wasn't backed up... you can try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
I haven't tried this but good luck.
thank you brassguy...
but does this work for infuse 4G ?
In addition, I read that we can change the IMEI number using the ADB, or is there another way to do this?
Also, what about the GSII_repair app, can I use it for my phone (infuse 4G)?
i had this problem last night where i flashed a rom. i return it to stock and imei showed up.
was having a imei" unknown error" and i backed up now on my computer.
ps ebay sales unlock service for 0.99$ if you didn't buy the code and just hacked it with hex or whatever
mine is already unlocked and it's permanent
i do travel over seas alot
But i returned mine to stock many times but the imei number still like this.
I did no get you in the third line???

Hello All,
I am new to rooting phones and recently tried something on a galaxy S2. I had a korean version of S2 model SHW-250s which was locked. I lost my new phone so tried unlocking this myself...looked at some youtube videos some blogs and finally decided to use this method posted by someone:
1)Flash these two files using ODIN to convert the korean model into international version :
GTI9100_ext4.pit
9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5 (stock ICS firmware for my country).
This successfully converted my phone to S2i9100.
2)Then to unlock I used a siyah kernel as posted by a developer :: Siyah-v3.2b8
This successfully installed SU and i checked using RootChecker apps that there is root access.
3)Then to unlock my phone i used GalaxSimUnlock app (did rooting as this app required root access)
This successfully unlocked my phone. I was able to call receive messages with new carrier.
I installed some more general apps used it for 5 days.
Sudddenly i started facing network issues. I was not able to make or receive calls. Strangely, I was getting data connection from network but not able to make or receive calls. I could not register on any network.
I tried running GalxSimUnlock app again and it said Unable to read NV data.Since I was naive i tried reinstalling the stock ROM and SIYAH kernel to see if it helps. It didnt.
When i researched further i came to know there's probably something wrong in the NV_data.bin file in EFS . But i hadnt taken backup of EFS previously. Now can anythng be done to restore the EFS and make the phone work? Please help me....
When i run GalaxSimUnlock app it shows everything in green except IMEI number which it blinks in red. But I am able to see a IMEI number and it doesnt look like something default. I am getting everything else MAC id, baseband version etc.
Thanks everybody...please forgive my language if not upto the mark as i am pretty naive about this stuff.
Please Review this thread [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
If you have specific question on the process, you can post this thread as well.
If that does not work and you need further help, please post in Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hey Buddy....Thanks for replying....i just saw you have written you flashed the original ROM on your device again...but as I wrote I have flashed another ROM and didnt take back up of original one and cannot find the SKT korea S2 ROm for this one...Is it ok if i employ the procedure told by you without flashing original ROM...what is CSC? Is there anything else you wanna tell me before i start the process? please forgive for my ignorance Im quite new to all this...
You will have to ask on the thread I linked regarding the Rom. You will have the right experts for your device there.
CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234# . First two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
ok thanks...i will post the question there
Per Suggestion from my Collegue @It_ler,
The kernel you have is older. Latest SiyahKernel for the stock JB ROM he has on his device is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1.
If you have questions about the kernel, then use the [KERNEL][REF][Q&A] Siyah 5.0+[ICS/CM10] 6.0b5+[JB/CM10.1] +DISCUSSION+. NON-DEV!!! (SiyahKernel discussion) thread.
Note 2 LTE - suddenly sim locked again ???
hint: only read the Bold letters to make it short
ok, im allmost ready to give up this time...dont know how many of these threads i read allways to find a sullution to my problem, but it seams i finally have to ask for help myself.
Yeah, this is my first post, but ive been arround for a while, anyway this time, i need your active suggestions...
the History:
The phone: Samsung Galaxy Note2 GT-N7105 LTE ( t0lte ): initially locked to the Austrian Carrier A1, but i bought it allready unlocked.
Back then 2013 managed to flash and root via clockworkmod and wanam light rom, without triggering knox - thanks to you guys in here...chears again for that...
I hardened the system quite good and gave it to my mums - not touching it for years -or hardly, finally 2016 seamed to be time for an update. Didnt care much for the knox anymore and simply updated recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 and cyanogenmod 13.0 - 20161118-NIGHTLY ( recconed simplest Marshmallow upgrade ), installed the basics - thats it - left the phone with my mum again.
Got back few weeks later - i had realized my mum wasnt reachable on her phone anymore - figured she could still make calls herself, strangly she even would still be reachable when called via landline , but for some reason not from any cellular networks - so i went for a visit and thinking it might simply be a problem with her sim - i swaped her sim for mine - when turning the phone back on it now asked me for an SIM-unlock code...WTF!!! (and befor anybody asks my mums sim network was never A1 either)
- everything else seamed fin - imei and baseband still ok, sys stable as far as i could tell - only thing i noticed it had updated cm-13.0-20161122-NIGHTLY on its own...
Swaping SIMs didnt yeald any effet - so since that was the only thing that caught my eye i reverted back to 20161118-NIGHTLY and then back to my old wanamlight and finally even to original stock rom - problem persisted.
Searching i found 100 links like How to Unlock Your Samsung Galaxy S3 & Note 2 (No Rooting) , but no luck
Final resort, i even purchased an unlock code from UnLockBase but even that didnt work ...WTF!!!
So back to square one i found this Baseband Unknown and IMEI Null NOW WORKING | Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, N7105
But even if my imei and my baseband was ok i thought perhaps the efs migh have some taken some kind a hit - so i searched eveywhere and found my old 2013 backups: PIT-File and EFS-partition (DDed via terminal) - so i backedup the existing efs and restored the old-EFS-Backup back again - then i even used Kies to revert everything to the last bit.....but no luck....
..also UnLockBase-Code still doesnt work - (btw. the also provide an unfreez code but ...all the same ) so i rooted again and tried GalaxSIM unlock says unsupported Model....whatever!???!!!:crying:
only thing left is perhaps: buy a cheap mainboard via aliexpress and perhaps take allong the imei from the old motherboard...
but i hate giving up!!!
What do you guys think? ...any suggestions
...sorry for having to read all that...tried to help a little there
update: made a second thread in the N7100 forum part link

You would probably have better luck asking this in your device specific forum as the members there are more familiar with your model and its particular issues, it wouldn't surprise me if someone in that forum hasn't already had this issue on this model.

I've turned it over and chewed on it for a minute but with the troubleshooting that you've already done I can't for the life of me think of other steps for you to try because you've done everything I would do already plus I'm not familiar with your exact model. I'll keep it on simmer and hopefully a butterfly will land on my shoulder and bring something to mind that might help you. You've pretty much covered all the bases already.

Hi.
I'm from uk ( hi to you all ). I made a mistake, bought an s8+ on ebay which ended up to be an usa model ( scam ) and after 1 month of usage suddently my SIM doesen't work anymore ( worked smoothly before ) also my phone says "no service" :crying: .
My SIM is working into other devices but no other sim works into my phone.
I believe i got some kind of virus or maybe a software problem..i don't know.
Tried factory reset, network reset, still no results.
Reading through the forum i tried out odin but i'm a newbee here ( never had usa models ). I tried 2-3 different ways but the result is "FAIL"
All i know when i enter the Download mode it says: carrier ATT
But my Baseband is G955USQU4CRE9 ( t mobile ) i dont know how.
Anyway, can anyone of you help me please with a step by step tutorial and maybe a link that suits my phone?
Thank you very much and have a lovely day.

I would make sure the device isn't blacklisted I have seen cases like this a bunch of times. All 4 major carriers in US can be checked on their websites. With the byod pages a lot as well as other places. If it is black listed you can use your local police. Plus eBay or where ever with your purchase receipt
Hello, apologies for the lengthy post.
I bought a used G780F, noticed it was rooted after taking home, but no big deal. Tried flashing it with Odin with HOME CSC, but it got stuck in a bootloop so I had to factory reset it, but it managed to update and everything was fine until I noticed emergency calls only...
I checked the IMEI status on my countries website, it was blocked for not being registered, so the carrier unblocked it and I just had to wait to get signal again. It's been a week since it got unblocked, so I should be getting service. The carrier told me it's unlocked so it's likely an issue with the phone, and I believe so too. My IMEI and S/N show up fine when using *#06#, I've basically tried every fix except Chimera tool as the license is way too expensive for me right now. Any help or advice would appreciated, thanks so much!

Well, I have the same exact issue.
I found out that this is a live demo unit that has been modified to run on a fake IMEI number to make calls.
My concern was that the root was interfering with my banking app and so I had to flash a new firmware to remove the root.
Interestingly, when I tried to remove it prior to flashing it kept coming back everytime I reboot the phone.

I literally did the same, but I already knew that my phone is a Live Demo, and I took my chances and got Status NG, so I re Rooted the phone and went to a Software Shop that fixed the IMEI for 5$, and yesterday I updated the Magsik App and got the IMEI Status back and looking for what the shop did, as I confirmed he didn't use Chimera tool
