[Q] How to "fix" Retail Phones Not Just in Retail Mode! - Other Tools & General Discussion

Hello,
A friend gave me a retail Samsung Galaxy A5 from a shop and i wanted to know if there is any possible way to make it a regular phone.
Everything's working actually except from the fact that it doesnt recognise any Sim Card and the Call app "that Green Phone image" that any android has it's missing.
So ita can be used as a "tablet" but not as a phone.
I tried routing the phone but it didnt worked.
Any ideas?
Will flashing a custom ROM solve the issue?
If so can you please give me the steps in doing so.....
Thank you.

I also got the same phone with missing dialer and network option am thinking of flashing it with new firmware. But if u got any suggestion jux let me know. As i am eager to see this phone work.
Some told me it can be fix.

Can anyone explain what are the uses of unlocking our phone? I am facing strange problem on vodafone India, if a flash a custom rom I face call drops n network fluctuation, but if I flash with stock Asian rom like DDJP2,4,6 I wont face any call drop problem. That means vodafone is only compatible with the stock rom's of that country .. so I want to know whether by unlocking the phones this problem can be solved and any custom rom can be used..

as u allready flashed the rom the warranty list isnt working, just unlock the phone and check if the problem is solved, if not solved try another custom rom for your phone [Kyrilos maybe]
I have tried flashing all the custom rom's and faced the same problem... now as u said about unlocking the phone I will try doing it n see.. thanks

pavan, many of us including me face a similar problem. please read the thread i started and tell me if you face a similar issue. and i don't think it's just vodafone. turns out quite a few people on other service providers face a similar issue.
Where is ur thread?
Are u facing the same problem, which rom do u use?
I will try to unlock my phone and see whether it works..

if i'm not wrong, i think our phone is already unlocked. i think unlocking means getting rid of fixed service provider that the phone comes with. i don't think there are phone contracts in india, barring a few. correct me if i'm wrong.
have you unlocked your phone or u still cant do it ?

Heh... tried this and it says:
SRS Protection error
Error, Wireshark detected, please close then try again
Installed windows xp in virtual box so i could work around that and it says:
SRS Protection error
Virtual environment detected, this program will not run in virtual machines..
I don't know for sure, but it doesn't look like this method works any more.. hooo well
<edit>
My bad, I assumed fiddler was using winpcap to do its sorcery, instead, i had winpcap installed for some other thing, and that was confuddling it. Used a different computer, worked fine yay!!

I had the same problem. I got into CwM, and whiped the cache then rebooted. Worked the first time. Two weeks later it happened again. Samsung said its a mechanical flaw in the phone that happens to about 2% of the phones. Its something thats fixed through the warranty program. Hope that helps.

have you tried using other sims? maybe its not compatible with your specific sim.
maybe you just dont have any coverage, when i get the "not registred on network" message, it usualy means i'm underground, or in a place with low cell coverage, like in the woods or mountains.

The phone is factory unlocked so no issues related to not compatible and I tried with another sim too. Still the same problem. The problem only came when I flashed the 4.3 Indian stock rom. But that rom doesn't have any problem coz I've used on other note 2 too. Something related with the phone.
Hi there if you go into settings and then about device and then status you will be able to see if you have a service state if you don't have any but the network operator appears as well as signal stats. You most likely have a black listed iemi or something happened to the iemi when flashing the rom or more simple is the sim slot is broken. Hopefully you will be able to fix it sorry I can't give you that much help on this subject.

Not Registered on network problem! HELP PLEASE!

Hi guys, so yesterday I purchased a plan for wind mobile to use on my Samsung S2 SGH-i757m phone. I had already been with them about a year ago and everything worked fine with the phone and such. However yesterday I decided to root my phone by flashing Cf-auto-root using ODIN3 which
did not work out, it said it succeed but the Cf-auto-root and the red andriod robot got stuck when rebooted ( I already made a thread about ). this caused me to flash back my stock ROM which worked. Now my phone does not register on wind mobile network, and if it does it registers on Wind away. my IMEI starts with 352, my baseband is I757MUGMC5. Can anyone help me by finding out the problem? Is it because of the root? did the root remove the phones factory unlock? it is something with the radio? or maybe is it a faulty sim card? All help would be highly appreciated!
SOLVED ISSUE, Flashed Another radio and now it works well. Thanks XDA forums!

remove simlock with root??

hi, i have a sprint note edge probably it can be rooted, but its possible to remove the simlock for international use??
I have seen a sim unlock option with galaxy tools app. Dont know if it works just know its there. I was going to ask the same question about domestic unlocking.
So anyone got answers i would like to hear. I read note edge was gsm/cdma capable like the nexus. Please someone who knows chime in. Looking to get domestic unlock because i am sure it isnt easily done through sprint.
Secondly i tried to root it whith the odin/chainfire and it didnt work. Git the error message after failed flash and had to re do the stock firmware with odin. Anyone got a link to the chainfire maybe i downloaded the one for kitkat?
