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!!!
GSM Nexus S are all unlocked.

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.

Hello,first i want to thank you for your help.
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
Baseband version-I9020AUCKF1
Build number-GRK39F
So this is it,my phone is locked to only one provider(VIP),if i put any other sim card provider(Tele2,BonBon,Tmobile...)the phone is working well,i can call anyone,text etc.Thank you in fowards...

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!!

Hi ,
i am facing no service issue with HTC sensation xe with audio beats i have tried custom roms and stock roms with no luck , did factory restore , i have s-off +root.
hboot version is 1.27
baseband : 11.76A.3504.00U_24A.3504.31_M
When i turn on the device without sim card it says "Please insert sim card" and when i put sim card it says limited service and no signal with cross on signal bar .
Please tell me what should i do to fix this issue also what do you think its a hardware related issue ?
One more thing .. when i insert the sim it pops up the available networks and when i try to register on network it says Your Sim card does not allow to connect this network.
Also when i put the phone in air plane mode i can change the network mode to GSM only and WCDMA but when airplane mode is off and radio is on i can't change those settings .
if i go to testing section by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and then i go to Phone settings i see there "WCDMA preffered" as the network mode and when i try to change it from dropdown list it doesn't allow me to change .
do you think if i flash some other radio/rom it will work ?
also what other thing can i do to figure out the issue .
Thanks Much .

Hi,
It seems that your radio and firmware should work for most ROMS around.
How old is your sim card?
It might be worth trying to get a new one.

No .. Sim card reader is also fine because i can still see the sim toolkit folder and when i put the sim in device it shows me a popup to select network when i try to join it fails to register on network .
also i can dial emergency numbers.
i don't think the sim card reader is broken . phone is detecting the sim but no signal .
if there is a problem with signal IC then it should not detect any network operator to choose from .. so it seems its not a hardware issue
Thanks

Hi, have you managed to fix this issue? I have exactly the same problem with a 3 week old phone!
I called HTC to let them know and they think it is a sim problem, however, my sim is very new and is working in other phones!
I don't know what to do, I needed a new phone for school and to my dismay, it is not working!!
It was working until last week and I haven't damaged the phone at all, I am very protective over it!!!
I have read stories over flashing the phone, but I worry that I will damage it if I do so, and my parents just spent a lot of money on it for me. LOL!
My sisters' and I all got the same phone, but theirs' working fine!
Please let me know if you can help me
Thank you

from there it has options for network
I seem to have the exact same problem as described above (no signal, sim card seems to be fine)
Did any of you fix this?
Had same problem on nexus s after updating from jb to ics,no signal problem...changed sim card,everything fine..

I think I had the same issue (as described here). While I'm not really sure which of all the tricks tried that made it work, I'd recommend trying yet another SIM. Good luck!
Edit: After all, it doesn't look like it works. My current provider claims this HAS to be related to SIM-locking.
Edit #2: Check for IMEI blocking.

My nexus Sim is Vodafone and I have a tablet that supports calling with Etisalate Sim, I switched the Sims and the Vodafone one works perfectly on the tablet but the Etisalate don't work on the mobile and when I returned them back the Vodafone don't work again and the Etisalate works again so the problem is with the phone
I tried re flashing Paranoid Android but the same problem
Try flashing stock. If it's the same, it's hardware. Sim card, device or something. Or its carrier related issue.
Sounds like the radio is set to LTE only mode.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and check your network configuration

It was originally an unlocked model straight from Samsung. I flashed AT&T firmware so I could use some features. I figured this build number would receive OTA updates.
i never got ota updates on my unlocked phone. I've installed 100% at&t stock firmware.

Do you have ATT Rom on it or it the stock Rom from Samsung?
Also, can I ask what you told them to change the IMEI?
I called and they were telling me I can't change the IMEI and that even if we do change it, it would only work on the previous phone... which seems bogus...

Was originally unlocked direct from Samsung, I flashed AT&T software.
I just flashed the update on my own, I don't know if I'll ever get OTA.
I had no problem changing IMEI. It had my old S7 edge IMEI, I used chat to change it to my current Note 8. Then quickly had them switch it to Note 7 IMEI once WIFI calling wouldn't work. They asked no questions both times. Just told them I upgraded phones and need to update my IMEI. I've never called them, just used the chat feature.

So you just used Odin and the ATT firmware correct?

You won't get AT&T OTA unless you're in AT&T network with MCC 310 MNC410 (Red pock GSMA has this so it can get AT&T OTA update).

You need active AT&T sim cards or AT&T MVNO (Red pockets(310 410 but not Freedompop 310 170) sim card in your phone to get AT&T software update.

My sim card is direct from AT&T. I've been using the same one since I purchased and activated the Note 7 in an AT&T store
Did you flash your phone with AT&T firmware including home CSC or just part of AT&T firmware?
You have to flash complete AT&T firmware to get AT&T OTA.

Flashed it including home CSC. Wanted everything so I could use wifi calling since that was the whole point in the first place.
