HI GUYS...
I UNLOCKED MY SAMSUNG GALAXY INFUSE AS USUAL, AND ITS OK "UNLOCKED"...
BUT WHEN I INSERT MY SIM CARD IT WORKED FOR FEW MINUTES, AFTER THAT IT SAYS NO SERVICE AND THERE IS NO SIGNAL AT ALL... BUT SOMETIME I GOT SIGNALS BUT WITHOUT REGISTERED NETWORK.
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???

this phone is not unlockable. you can however try using your countries simcard and seeing if it works
You should fully wipe your phone and, if it won't work then reflash it to a stock rom (it should be the same one you had until an issue) using, for example, odin. Then check imei if the number will return, unlock your phone with unlock services.
Hey, so I just bought a second hand s6. When purchasing I only checked the major hardware stuff like everything in *#0#* and the calling etc and didn't bother to check other stuff which is stupid on my part. Anyway, when I got home and tried to use themes nothing happened. The Theme Store button didn't do anything when I tapped it and still didn't work after I added a samsung account and everything. There a bunch of other issues as well such as all the options in the System Update menu being pretty much useless, they all did nothing when I tapped on them.
Sorta got fed up of all this and decided to do a factory reset. Once I get back into the phone after reset, the screen grid option that you get when you pinch in was greyed out which is really annoying since the 4x4 is just not for me. Then I decided to root it so I can just get a custom rom in and get rid of all these issues altogether but when I got into download mode it said the phone's version is G920P instead of G920F. The guy I bought from said it's the international G920F and it even says G920F in the about phone section. The confusing thing is that it instead says G920P when I get into download mode. I don't even know what it is anymore, is it sprint or is it international ?
Anyway, is there any fix to all the issues I've been having like the screen grid option being greyed, the system updates menu being useless and the theme store not working at all.
Also, what do I do about rooting and roms ? Do I treat it as a sprint variant or an international variant? It'd be a pretty massive bummer if it's sprint since there are pretty much no worthwhile roms for me.
Pls halp

This bad or good ? ;-;
Also worth mentioning that it says 920F on the back as well. Would flashing the whole stock firmware of 920F through odin be a feasible option ? It says 920F on the back so it has to be that variant right ? If this is possible please direct me to a firmware I should flash and a guide of how to do it, bit of a noob here.
Bumping this up before going to sleep, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
When I get mine s6 there was a sticker at the back showing its serial number. It's written on its box also. If you have this you can use Samsung kias to flash the firmware designed for your phone.
There's an S/N at the back, I'm assuming this is the serial number. I want to root and install some custom roms though but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since I don't know what version my device exactly is.
Pls halp
Attached a screenshot with more info. Hope this helps.
I'm not sure what the previous owner did but your device code name zerofltespr is P variant.
I see, so I should treat it as a sprint variant for rooting and custom roms then ? Just making sure before I go through with the stuff so I don't brick the phone.
Also, anyone got up to date links for how to root and install custom recovery on the sprint version of the s6 ?
@Skyrus5150
Download the Phone Info app for Samsung, take a screenshot and post it here.
Settings show G920F, that can be changed by editing build.prop but the back cover shows 920F as well? That's the odd part.
The previous owner has somehow got the device name to show zerofltespr which is a G920P (Sprint). Not sure how he got a CDMA device code on a GSM device.
Boot into Download Mode, see what it says there, that can't be changed as far as I know.
It will show the actual model number, whether it's 920F or 920P.
Here you go, what should I do. Yeah the bootloader says 920p but the back is 920f, maybe the phone was opened or smith.
Pls halp
Downloaded root checker, according to it the phone's rooted as well. Downloaded TWRP Manager as well, should I just go ahead and install custom recovery with it and select S6 Sprint in the device options ?

Reset your device from smart switch with provided values behind your device.

Rooted and Knox still 0x0, how can that be?
Uhhh. What now?

Rooted with 0x0 KNOX, some dark magic is at work here. Maybe engineering bootloader?
Anyway, just download a G920P stock firmware and flash it. Then proceed to do a factory reset/data wipe in stock recovery and have your phone back to normal, which is a G920P.
Back says G920F, but it should show an IMEI and S/N as well, do they match those of your phone? I'm certain they don't, but still... check.

LOL, the back says 920F but I entered the IMEI into two different checking services and they both show it as a 925F (S6 Edge), this phone is going places.
Anywho, the stock firmware is supposed to be flashed through odin yes ? Could you please link me to a guide and links to download, maybe even let me know which specific firmware I'm supposed to install. Sorry, I'm a former LG user and I have no idea how Odin and all these shenanigans work. Also, the phone will remain unlocked even after flashing stock firmware, yes ? Currently using it in Pakistan.

Aah a fellow Pakistani. Where are you from? Drop me a PM, I may not be allowed to post some links here.
Yes, stock firmware is going to be flashed with Odin. Will send links for downloading, and guide you as well.
Yes to your second question as well, once Samsung phones are unlocked, they will stay unlocked.
Hello, i am new here ... I have a samsung galaxy S6 G920F, suddenly one day it can't registered on the network. then i show it to a maker who said to me that my IMEI number has been blocked and he can solved it ... so i take the service, after some day i notice that the maker some how change my IMEI number and all the USSD code of the set like (*#06#) are not working. also it can't be update, and when the set is restarting there show a warning in the top left corner in red color it said (the kernel is not seandroid enforcing). and the mobile baseband version is also changed to G920FXXU3DPCA that's why i am writing here, i check the IMEI number through the internet where it said that the IMEI status is cleaned. can any one tell me how i get the official firmware back so that i can update my device, present condition drained all my charged in 4 hours only. some said in the youtube that "SAMSUNG SMART SWITCH" can make the set virgin again .... but i m little bit confused that i never try anything like this. so that i need some expert HELP . thanking you ASIF
Wrong place to ask (should ask it in s6 section), but have you tried to flash a stock factory image (sammobile) with Odin?
First copy al your data you wanna save to your pc (photos, music etc)
^What this guy said. Just flash the stock firmware through ODIN.

Thak you for ur reply. I never try to flash any device before, thats why little bit of confusion. Over the youtube i get information about "Samsung Smart Switch" that it work all it self. Automatically download the required firmware and install by it self. Will it work for my S6's condition ?? And as i said the IMEI number has been changed so i m afraid of this if there any problm for this during installation with Smart Switch ?
My friend got his phone's frp locked and the phone wont go past the Samsung logo. Like a good friend, I took his phone and flashed it with stock ROM from androidmtk. It boots up fine. After loging in with previous id, The network doesnt work. The imeis in *#06# are generic and different than the imei in the back. I think the firmware is not the right one. The phone doesnt have any network bar and in "Emergency calls only: mode.
What can I do? I am not that good with these stuffs. I used odin to update Galaxy s7 successfully once.
I would appreciate if you guys can drop a link to appropriate firmware.
Model: J710FN/DD
FCC ID: A3LSMJ710FN
SSN: -J710FN/DDGSMH
Also if there is anyother way to recover imei please let me know.
