Phone not allowed MM#6 @ Galaxy S

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?

Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.

I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!

I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!

yes imei matches one under battery

You may wish to post in Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
I do believe if the phone is working on all the other carriers Other than Bell then it might be an issue with Wind's Sim Card. Sometime you need to get a newer sim for newer Smartphones.

The last zero 0 was until now FOR Demo phones. If samsung has not change the rule with note edge i think you bought an Demo phone.... For that to work you need to replace the mainboard and to buy antenna cable)
Hope I'm wrong....

Thanks, I did it but I still have the same problem nothing happened

As you wrote - signal lost after update "nv item" - do you remember what you change? back to previous version should help
did you make back up of changed datas?
did you try factory reset?
try other simcard - maybe simcard died?

[Completed] Boot-loop on Galaxy S5 - can i install firmware from SD?

I've dug through threads for hours already, can't seem to find this specific issue, apologies if it's out there somewhere.
The story:
Vacationing in Canada, phone is on sprint's network in the USA.
Enabled international account settings with sprint before leaving the USA.
Turned on international call and data upon arrival in canada.
Worked fine for a few hours.
Then started rebooting.
I did see an error for firmware unable to download.
Now it is in a boot loop.
I believe it attempted to update another networks version of the firmware and failed, corrupted, and has now left me in this position.
Sprint will not support this, as their towers can not connect to the device (no sprint in canada)
Samsung support will not help in canada because it's a USA bought phone.
I know all i really need to do is flash it with the latest firmware, that's what a tech would do right now.
Attempts to use Kies has failed, the macbook i have available reboots when it's run.
Attempts to use Odin have failed - an auth failure.
I would like to flash it from the SD card - is this possible? (download firmware, transfer to SD, mount the SD,
then using the boot menu, and "install update from SD" - seems like the solution ya?
and if so.. anyone have a good link for SM-g900p marshmallow that isn't a paid user account required mirror? I just paid 5.99 for a mirror that is SLOW AS SNOT, 49kb/s, and pulling down a 1.5gb file.. literally days to download this firmware. There has to be a better host out there.
PLEASE HELP I"M DESPERATE AND WITHOUT A LIFELINE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. Thank youuu.

How to convert stock firmware from SM-N920G to SM-N920P

I have Note 5 (SM-N920P) for Sprint, which is came with a limited set of languages,
I added more languages by modifying the language.xml but nothing happened then I realized that the whole system is stripped from all other languages,
I disabled the dm-verity as well but a red line is showing after booting (Kernel SElinux is not set to Enforcing) and the phone is stuck at Samsung logo,
What I need is to convert a stock firmware from another Note 5 with multi-languages and to disable dm-verity,
I found someone who already did it in the link below but he doesn't want to share it or sell it to anyone except repair shops,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qep7fkDq9Zk
So I chose to convert N920GUBS3BQB1 6.0.1 for SM-N920G to N920PVPS3BQB1 6.0.1 for SM-N920P as they share the same base build,
I set everything up in order to do so,
I would be grateful if someone could provide me with instructions on how to do that and I really want to learn how to do so as well,
Many thanks in advance

Update
After downloading the full firmware for SM-N920P and SM-N920G,
I extracted SM-N920P and replaced the boot.img with a modified one that has dm-verity disabled (for that I chose Aurora kernel), cache.img and the system.img for SM-N920G,
I repacked the firmware using cityradar's tool (Thanks to him you can find in the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/tool-tools-file-extraction-img-tar-md5-t3236605 ),
I flashed it with odin and the phone booted successfully and everything is working fine except there is no baseband,
Then I replaced the modem for SM-N920P with the one for SM-N920G and re-flashed but it failed because the security check for the radio file,
Now the only thing remains is how to disable the secure download in download mode or to modified the modem.bin and make it bypass the security check,
I would appreciate if someone could help with this matter,
I will be awaiting for your replies

try reflashing the modem.bin for the n920p

Thank you for the reply,
I already did that from the start that's why there is no baseband,
If you check the youtube link in the first post you will see that the guy flashed the modem for the SM-N920C into SM-N920P,
So we need to modify the modem.bin to bypass the security check

Let's proceed to plan B as I feel that the expert in xda are not here anymore,
Let's port the firmware (app, priv-app and everything related to them only) from SM-N920G to SM-N920P,
Everything is set up with the latest tools from xda (deodexing, modifying and repacking) in both Windows and Linux,
I searched the forum but I couldn't find a thread about porting from-to the same model,
I would be grateful if someone could advise me on how to do that,
Your replies are appreciated

aren't bin files just containers? have you tried extracting the files from the modem.bin? and opening some of the contents in a text editor?

did u accomplish i had tried too i was falied !!!!!!!!!
