what do you mean branded or unbranded?is it fake or orginal?
how do i know if it is branded?
i think its all original cause i alredy rooted it and flash it to 6.5.1 XE

when i search network and select the correct network for my simcard it says
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"
what does that means

Seems like you need to get an unlock code.

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

What sim did you put into your galaxy s3?

i also have the SCH-R530 from cricket, i was trying to use a GSM Sim with the phone but i get no mobile network message, the phone reads the sim because i can see my contacts and my provider even the APN info, i tried following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314 but i wasnt able to make it work with any of the settings listed under Phone Info App. im using a Mexico Telcel SIM card by the way.

It is wery common trouble for many of us
You are just using the phone that is sim locked by the operator
Good news is that there is an easy fix for your problem- you have to unlock it
The sim unlocking procedure is been performed by most of the mobile service centers,
You may use google to search for sites that can remotely unlock your device

There are several tipes of 'locks' we users are forced to fight with:
- locked bootloader- not allowing us to flash any custom system to our phone
, this is suposed to save inexpearienced or to quick a user from bricking their devices...
- sim lock- by this procedure your mobile provider wants to make sure you will not be using the phone-
THEY gave you on contract, with another provider's sim card...
Sim lock is a very common policy among mobile carriers but you can remove it quite easily
, without any side effects

[Q] Problem with my Sensation XE "Sim Locked"

Hello there,
I'm a newbee in this forum.
I'm facing a problem with my sensation xe.
I traveled to Turkey since fifteen days and bought a turkcell sim.
It worked for about 10 days and then a problem happened.
It seems my sim got locked.
So, i couldn't connect to the network anymore.
And when I searched for networks, I found all of available networks in turkey, but when trying to connect to turkcell network, a message appears on the screen "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
I tried to S-Off my phone and tried to change my IMEI number but it didn't work.
Can any one help me and lett me what to do???

Are you trying to connect on roaming, or using a turkish sim card? Did you tried to get a new sim card from the provider ? If connected successfully first time why do you think it is phone related? , i dont think so.

I've tried another sim from the same provider and it didn't work.
And I tried to put my turkish sim in another mobile phone witch I think is not sim locked and it worked.

I think it's phone related because I tried to connect my phone via roaming and it worked and connected to turkcell network,
but when I tried to insert the turkish sim card, the proplem happened.

Sorry for my english, but ,is ure sim card got unlimited plan.
I hope there was no limit to use the sim card

Isn't this like your third post on this? One post is enough. If you're not getting and answer it's because no one has a solution for you yet. 2g gsm 900 should work. What SIM are you trying to use? You said they guy you bought it from had trouble activating with Verizon? Did he explain that in more detail? Is it actually a Verizon Device?

I would actually try and ruu to verizon stock. It concerns me that you aren't showing any signal bars all. Which means either you're not getting any signal, or that there is a hardware problem. It should only matter for data but have you set the correct APN?

If you want to be able to fully add/edit APN´s then go to a WWE ROM, not Verizon. Maybe that solves your GSM issues, too(worked for me). And you´ll get rid of annoying "Unknown SIM source" message.
The procedure is(I use ARHD + Elite kernel for Verizon):
Flash latest Lollipop-Sense VZW firmware(4.17.605.5)
Flash latest TWRP VZW recovery(2.8.5.0)
Go to recovery, flash ARHD 40.X ROM from extSD - Do not reboot!
Flash Elite Lollipop-Sense kernel from extSD
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot(may take 5 min or more)
You should be home and dry, did this many, many times.
