Hello everyone...
I have a "little" problem.
In my country there is 5 providers(Tele2,BonBon,Vip,Tomato,Simpa).My Nexus s was unlocked on all of them providers.But i was installing a new rom on my Nexus s,and my VIP card(provider) was in the phone while i was doing that.When i putted a new rom,suddenly Nexus s was locked on that provider(VIP) which was inside of the phone?I tried to reinstall and installed a new rom and nothing,i cant get it to unlock on that just one provider(VIP).Phone is now unlocked on all providers(Tele2,BonBon,Tomato,Simpa),but it isn't on VIP?Did someone had a similiar problem,and could you please help me?I would be very grateful!!!

Device locking is done in the operating system, not the physical device. I have yet to see a custom ROM or ASOP to be sim locked.
Now keep in mind, the phone won't show APN's for other networks when you insert your SIM card. What is going on here is the device is reading your sim card to identify the provider then set the proper APN as default. To test if it's unlocked, try a different SIM in the device and see what happens.
Edit: I'm assuming you are talking about a SIM lock. If it's a lock of some other sort, please provide more details with EXACTLY what is going on.

My phone is unlocked for all providers except one provider(VIP).When i put (VIP) sim card,it says "emergency call only".I tried to Restore default APN,but when i press that it just says "Restoring default APN networks",after a while,it says it is completed,but still there it says"emergency call only".If i try to call anyone,it says Mobile network not available.When i go to "About Phone" menu,then "Status" it says:
Network-Unknown
Service state-Out of service
Roaming-Not roaming
Mobile network state-Disconnected
Other informations:
Model number-Nexus s
Android version-2.3.6

This is NOT a sim lock. What is going on is that your phone has lost it's APN settings or is using the wrong modem. a sim lock means that your phone will only work with 1 provider, installing the SIM from a different provider will give you an error message similar to this: ‘SIM not valid’, ‘SIM locked’ or ‘SIM not accepted’
Since the phone is working on other providers, i would believe that the phone has lost it's APN settings for VIP. I would look up the APN settings for VIP and manually put them into the phone and go from there.
A quick search found a thread with the APN settings:

Good luck.
Hello again and once again thank you.I tried what you said for APN,but it didn't work.Is there anything else?!?

Try to flash another Radio. I never had luck with KF1, and quite frankly it kept me from getting any service at all for like 2-3 reboots after.
Try KD1, or KB3 (those work for me).
Reboot a few times, and see if it works.

Hi,
I am facing a similar issue. My Nexus S is running on 4.0.3 with baseband version I9023XXKI1 (Got it in UK, unable to use it in India). No matter what SIM I insert it stays in Out of service mode. Can you please suggest which Radio version I can flash to get rid of this issue? Please help!!

I just sold my i9003 to my friend. When he inserts his airtel sim or any other sim and give a network search and click on airtel (or corresponding network) he gets the error message 'Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later' several times in two days we have tried and still get the same error.
Ref: My original sim in the phone :Airtel
My rom : cm 10.1 alpha 9 (Dhiru)
I have tried reinstaling the Rom to no avail. Please note that this problem is only recent. I have been using this rom (cm10.1 a9) ever since its release with no issues, the issue occured only when I changed to a different sim. However, it still works on my sim.

tried to reconfigure APN to no avail
I tried to install a custom ROM in the device but soon after it's boot I realized the network is not working, I tried to recover my stock ROM by CWM and all the old things came back. But the network is still not working, when I tried to search manually for Network Operators, then some other operators come in search but my network operator is not listed in them. I tired to search too much but useless. Please can anyone help me with it..
My IMEI is present and the phone shows it.

[Q] Not able to camp network after flashing LG F180 with indian ROM
Good luck
Hello.
This is not an urgent issue sincee i have set up voip alternatives, but id' like to see it resolved anyway for curiosity and convenience/payment reasons. So here's the deal. i'm on a rooted g3, with cloudyfa's lollipop rom and the latest version of twrp. the device was ATT unlocked, and I intended to use it later with a tracfone sim card on the byop program. anyway, after flashing the rom i didn't get any signal bars at all anymore. i tried reflashing the kitkat [At that time i downgraded to 4.4.4again and lost signal], lollipop broadbands for my device, the latter even also being released by cloudyfa. i tried goping into the network settings and, since apn's are out of my range, just searched for service providers. i tried everything and still nothing. yet when i downloaded an app to manage my voip, it said my signal was great. what is this?Can my phone still be saved?

I received a LG P920 phone already rooted on ICS 4.0.4
At this time mobile networks worked and the phone was able to make calls and such. I did a factory reset which led to a recovery-loop so I followed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228269
I then obtained CWM 6 using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144738
And finally decided to flash Cyanogenmod 11 unofficial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-3d/development/rom-t2929971
It was at this point that I realized I couldn't connect to networks at all, thinking maybe the ROM was faulty I went for the official CM10 rom (the last nightly available on cyanogenmod), but that did not work either. Tried returning to ICS (v30a) but I couldn't connect to networks.
I've searched a lot of guides to recovering mobile networks but the catch is that most of them talk of lost IMEI numbers, which my phone hasn't lost. I looked into using LG flashtool aswell but all links are broken, be it for the software, the crack or the dll I need to have.
I'm at a loss right now, most of the guides I've seen here are for different purposes other than just getting the mobile networks going.
The SIM card works on another phone. Also, when trying to enter the password it will at times accept anything or not accept anything at all, even if it's the right code. If I search networks, they will be found but I'll just get 'Can't connect to this network right now'
My Baseband reads LGP920AT-00-V30a-EUR-XXX-APR-04-2013 and I'm currently on CM10
update: I have been informed by the previous owner that this phone hasn't been SIM unlocked, which is probably the problem here. Obviously this wasn't going to be so easy as I obtained the code and attempted to unlock it, but for some reason the process was unsuccessful. guess I'm still lost
Thanks in advance
