"Slot has been permanently blocked" - General Questions and Answers

I flashed a custom ROM and the on first screen my device asked to insert the PIN code, then i tried more than two times and it showed "Slot has been permanently blocked". I could't make any phonecalls And when i flashed my stock ROM it works normal.
Do you know how to unlock the SIM slot?
Thank you very much.
Device: Blu vivo IV (Gionne s.5.5) chipset 6598
Custom ROM: Lolifox V6
---------------------------------
If you truly believe the device is stolen or has otherwise been acquired through illegitimate means, we can't help you - you should contact the authorities and have the seller investigated. Stealing is a crime and stolen IMEIs are blocked for that very reason.
If not, first check that the phone supports the network frequencies that your carrier uses wherever you are - not all phones support all bands, and not all carriers support all bands either.
If you can tell us the make and model of the phone, we can point you to a device-specific forum in case it's a general problem or issue with that phone model.
Beyond that, you can try to take up with the manufacturer of the phone or the carrier if it's a carrier-branded phone.
I once had to make numerous called to my carrier's support line because my new imported phone was somehow registered in my carrier's database as a completely different kind of device, so the system kept kicking me off the data plan."

My device was not stolen, i bought it recently, if you guys want i could post the photography of the box.
I live in BRAZIL (BLU IV) and i am trying to install a custom room for a device which's made for INDIA(GIONE s5.5), the device, it self, is the same, what changes its the "software".I saw a video on youtube that someone from USA installed the same custom ROM and didn't get any problem.
I am apologies for this good English sirs.

If you enter the wrong PIN more than three times, the "slot" gets blocked and you can't use your SIM to connect to the network anymore. Newly bought SIM cards come inside one bigger card on which your PUC is written on. For security purposes, SIM cards require this code to be entered if they get locked down.

i727 "no sim" error on SOME cards

I have an unlocked AT&T Skyrocket SGH-I727 that is very picky about which SIM cards it accepts. I have seen a few similar forums, but nothing that fixes or seem directly applicable so want to start a new discussion.
No SIM Card
Similar problem but I'm not locked to any particular network, rather it is a few networks that work, a few that don't (all GSM).
No sim card error?? Any solutions??
My problem isn't no signal, it's no SIM.
"No sim" issue on Skyrocket
SIM card tray in my phone doesn't appear to be loose.
No signal after sim unlock
Not working at all, no solution.
I was running Cyanogen Mod with no problem on China Unicom (could use also China Mobile 2G) but on a trip last month to Bolivia was surprised that the phone doesn't accept any of the local SIM cards (such as Tigo, a GSM network) while an HTD Status and my backup SGH-i777 worked with all of these networks.
I tried a few different ROM's before flashing the i727 phone back to stock using Odin. Other than installing Team Win Recovery v2.2.0, it's plain stock, not even rooted. See below:
Android version 4.0.4
Baseband version Unknown
Kernal version 3.0.8
Build number IMM76D.UCLF6
While back in the US I tried several other cards, including an AT&T SIM, Straight Talk (actually from AT&T) and it also said no SIM. I've found that the China Unicom SIM works perfectly and a few others (see photo below) consistently work fine. I'd really like to get the phone working again on all of these GSM networks like my i777, HTC and i9300 do.
I've tried flashing three radios Radio_RIL__I727ATTKJ2, Radio_RIL__I727ATTKK1, Radio_RIL__I727RUXKJ7 but other than making T-Mobile 3G work, haven't helped me use any of the other SIMs.
Can anyone help with this? Should I be flashing another radio, replacing a part of the hardware (warranty isn't an option)? I'll buy a case of Redbull, Guinness or similar if I can get this working.

read returning to stock sticky, perform a reset afterwards, if still having issues, then either faulty phone, like sim tray or its contacts, or the unlocked method was fracked up in one way or another, try the free unlock method and see what happens, its in the 1stop sticky

I would think it might stop when it gets to the part about needing to configure for a carrier. Are you downloading a carrier (ATT, etc) based update?

I download the automaticly update i dont know what is it exactly.
I bought it from china and i live in Greece. Maybe this is the problem
Tomorrow i will put a sim and i will update the thread.
Thanks for the fast reply
It's most likely a Hong Kong model if you bought it from China, but you might still need to have a SIM inserted for it to carry through with the update.
Sent from my Evita
Not Working with SIM inside
I just tried the update with SIM on but the same....
Any solution?
Same issue!
I have the same phone and when updating the software 10 days ago had the same issue. I have tried everything - including the factory reset suggested by HTC - and the phone will now only go as far as the beats audio splash screen. It hangs there forever, generating vast amounts of heat and nothing else!
After a very snotty email to customer services, I have been offered a free check - even though the phone's just out of warranty - if I spend 80RM to send it to Kuala Lumpur?!
If it gets resolved, I'll let you know...but I'm not holding my breath... I seem to have a ery expensive light-up paper weight now...

No service with valid sim card

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very bad issue with my Nexus 5.
Last week, my mobile network stopped working, always displaying "No service".
The sim card was still recognized, since I had to enter my pin code after each reboot.
So I tried to put my sim card in a friend's phone, and it worked perfectly on his.
Next, I called Google tech support to get some information and they simply sent me another Nexus 5 to solve the issue.
The thing is, I'm having the same issue with the new phone, but it's even worse.
The sim card is not recognized at first when I reboot the phone.
After I put it out and in once, it asks me for my pin code. And then, I get the "No service" again.
If I try to make a call it says : "Turn off airplane mode to make a call" (see attached screenshot). I tried to turn it on and off, nothing works.
I must precise that the network worked as a charm with the new phone for 3 days and then nothing.
I tried several sim cards from different service providers, and I get the exact same issue every time. and boot in safe mode but i get the no service again

Here is my configuration :
Android 6.0.1
Security patch level : 1 january. 2016
Baseband version : M8974A-2.0.50.2.28
Build number number : MMB29S
Is anyone having this issue ?
Thanks.
There is a known problem with the N5 where a totally dead battery can kill the radio component. No, it makes no sense to me either, but after it happened to me I did a lot of reading across many forums and discovered I wasn't alone. Flashing half a dozen different ROMs made no difference. Eventually I contacted Google and, as with you, they replaced my N5 with a refurbished model which has worked perfectly ever since.
All I can suggest is that you report the second phone to Google and hope that they will replace it again.

IMEI not showing in MTK Droid Tool & IMEI/NVRAM option not available

Hello people,
I have a Gionee P5W (informations in screenshot).
Last time, my smartphone's board (chip) got damaged and I replaced it with a new one.
Before, there was network ( SIM signal) in my device but after I changed chip, there is no network but sim card is detected.
I mean, sim card is detected but doesn't give network at all.
I at least know that it is not location or network provider's fault because it was working perfectly fine before.
So, I searched through the internet and was suggested to change IMEI, but before, I wanted to check details with MTK Droid Tools.
But when I opened MTK Droid Tools, my IMEI was not shown and IMEI/NVRAM option was not available. Maybe, it was the problem for no network because IMEI plays a vital role in network of device.

We do not support the changing of imei on xda. It is illegal in most countries and is not approved discussion here

I know that the main point is not changing IMEI.
My phone detects SIM Card but always says no service
So, I researched quite a bit and found that IMEI has some connection with it
That's my only reason
If you know, you can help me, I would appreciate that.

Question Software Update disappeared

Unlocked variant from Samsung. I had a Software Update setting section. Soon after putting my Verizon SIM in the device the setting isn't there anymore.
Not sure how to fix or get the setting back. I can't check for new updates either
I have an unlocked variant (SM-F711U1) running a Verizon SIM and software updates option is right in the main settings menu

If you can't find it there, try going to Settings; About Phone; then on the bottom you should see "looking for something else?" And software update under it. Check the pic I've attached
This is all I have
Sorry for the late reply, but to me it almost seems like your phone didn't quite set itself to Verizon's configuration when you put your Verizon SIM card in. It's almost like it has no configuration for updating software PERIOD. This is very strange as even the unlocked version, while brand new, with no SIM ever put in should still show some form of a software update option when connected to internet.
The two suggestions I have are 1)
Use Google dialer set to default and dial code *#*#3747#*#* that will take you to a menu with three options and you want to tap on the "phone information" option and there will be a massive amount of information about your phones network configuration in there including stating that it is actively running on the Verizon network and successfully has the carrier provisioning info. (Disclaimer: I suggest not getting curious and manually changing settings in there when you don't know what you're doing because you can disable network bands and really end up having to factory reset your whole phone if you don't fully comprehend what you're changing) I'm just suggesting that you look visually to make sure of what I said above is what you see.
2nd)
If nothing else, pop your sim card out and go to settings, general management, reset and then tap the reset network info option and let your phone reset it's whole network configuration. If it doesn't reboot itself after then manually power the phone down, while powered down reinsert your Verizon SIM card and then power back up and give it a few minutes to get itself reconnected to Verizon's Network and after about 10 minutes I would reboot the phone again and see if anything has changed.
Spoiler: Also check this in about, status information, SIM status
You should see what you see in my picture when you click the spoiler link.
