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!!!

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.

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

Roaming-Not roaming
Mobile network state-Disconnected
Other informations:
Model number-Nexus s
Android version-2.3.6

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 everyone,
I have bought a new Galaxy s6 from France (SFR but Sim-free), I tooked it home to Israel and put my sim card and all worked fine but in the version He havent Hebrew in language so I flashed the stock ROM official of Israel from sammobile.com and all worked excellent.
I was one day with the phone and bad surprise... after some hours, without I do something the phone give me a message "No SIM card | Emergency calls only". if I try to call it give me a message "No registred at network". I try to put another sim, i try to flash it back to stock rom of sfr, i try all wiping option and nothing.
What is the most strange is if pull out the sim tray (with a sim card) it give me a message "SIM card removed. Unable to detect you SIM card. Your device will restart tocheck for your SIM card".and if I pull it in it message me "SIM card added. Restart device to access mobile networks." so I believe the sim tray is ok...
Anyone can help me please?
This looks like you have not activated the region lock. When you buy any S6 or S6 edge it comes region locked. To unlock it you have to make a 5 min phone call using a sim from the region you bought it in. Once the call is made the region lock is removed. It does state this on a sticker on the side of the box of the phone.
But the phone worked perfrect at the start... it's normal?
I cant answer that issue sorry but all samsung phones now carry a region lock and have to be used in their region of purchase first.
i tried anything but the phone dont give any option to put code of unlock anywhere
Hey may be i can help...
Try this...
Step 1. At first you will need to get a foreign SIM card.
Step 2. Now turn off your device and Insert the SIM card.
Step 3. Turn on your device.
Step 4. Tap on the Dial pad and type here the code “ *#197328640#”.
Step 5. Now select these options step by step- “ [1] UMTS >> [1] Debug Screen >>
[8] Phone Control >> [6] Network Lock >> Options [3] Perso SHA256 OFF ”.
Step 6. Go back to your device home screen.
Step 7. Here you should see a “Network Lock” message, now you choose “[4] NW Lock
NV Data INITIALIZE“.

You can also bring your unit to local Israeli Samsung store for warranty repair.
The region lock does not require a code to be entered nor can a code be entered. Its automatic. When new you need to make a 5 min phone call with a sim card from the region you bought the phone then it unlocks automatically. For example I bought mine in the UK but am using it while working in saudi. Before leaving the UK I made a 5 minute call with my uk EE sim card. Phone now happily accepts my saudi sim card.
The same problem happened to me, I am Iran
I could not yet solved
One solution to this problem does not have a friend?
is happen to me too, i make the 5 minutes call in the UE. When i came back to argentina the phone read my countrry sim card at first. work well for a month and then happen the same thing. Any possible solution to this problem??
hi so i have same problem i try to change cert file but stay same problem
Same problem with my G920F! Used in the UK fine and then brought to the US with me where it worked fine for 2 weeks and suddenly doing this!

I have the same issue as above. The only difference is I still use the phone in Uk (O2 unlocked phone with Ee sim). After flashing another rom then returning to stock (but unbranded stock firmware, not the original O2 one) i lost capacity of giving / receiving calls / texts, some weeks later. Since then i tried flashing several stock roms (O2, Ee and unbranded) but i haclve the same issue. I wiped, advanced wiped with twrp reinstalled roms but same issue. I would appreciate a lot any advice.

A little help on getting telephony back,please! "No SIM card detected" ("SOLVED")
Hi all !
I've got a Mate 7 09 that was on B121, I flashed stock B127 from Huawei's USA site to get rid of my operators rom, and it was fine, after that I flashed stock B137 KK, B308 LP and B317 LP.
But after flashing B137 I didn't use my device for callings nor anything as a phone, my SIM card was in another device. I was just trying LP so I didn't noticed it had no telephony signal because it can not read/detect the SIM card. Once I put in my SIM card the device couldn't detect it. It says "No SIM detected" No SIM card is detected. I've tried several ones.
What can be wrong? I've tried factory reset, rolling back to KK to B127 which worked the first time, factory reset again, and it's still the same. "No SIM card detected"
What can be so wrong?
Now I got a Mate 7 from a friend and it's in the same state as mine originally was. So I had the idea to get TWR on both, make a backup of the working device and flash it into mine.
I'm in that process.
What do you think is causing this problem? Modem drivers? Baseband? (Right now both have the same baseband number)
Anything to do with customization packs? I've seen several in a system folder called "HW"
I wish you and all you guys here could help me. Thank you in advance!
Any help or advice is welcomed!

check on settings/about phone: if bandbase is "unknown" then problem is not related with sim card, but modem is missing. That happened with me many times with samsung note 2 when i flashed the wrong rom

The modem is not missing, the EFS folder may be corrupted.

It was the SIM card reader. It's damaged.

Thank you guys for your kind help.
It looks like after all I could restore the baseband number and other customization from my original operator (I did it with this little steps, and getting the /cust contents from a Mate 7 from a local friend), but it's still not working.
So I checked the SIM card reader with a flashlight and it seems to be damaged, I can't see all of the 6 golden terminals/pins, whereas in my friend's Mate 7 they are easy to spot.
That must be the problem, there's no other possible explanation.
I'll order a SIM card reader replacement from Ebay to fix this problem.
Thank you all! I've learned a lot in the process. Ha Be very careful when you insert and extract your SIM card!

I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F).
At first glance the phone was in excelent shape. The SIM Card was connecting to the mobile network, and calls, internet connection, etc was OK.
But then, I found out that the phone had been rooted. Probably, by the seller. In pannic, I rushed to unroot flashing the stock Rom.
Here what I did:
1- Forgot to check my precisly CSC code and assumed ZTA (cause I'm from Brazil, and the phone is from carrier "Claro")
2- Downloaded the stock rom using Frija
3- Using Odin 3.14.1 flashed the device.
The previous rooted system was on Android 10 and One UI 2.5. With this new rom went to Android 11 and One UI 3.0.
The problem:
The phone recognizes the SIM Card. But it simply doesn't connect to the network. When I try to make a call it says: " not registered on network"
The phone DO recgonizes the SIM Card. On the SIM Card Manager shows my carrier name (Vivo) and my phone number. Also, the SIM app is showing on the app list.
Things I tried:
Rebooting the phone
Changin the SIM Slot
Testing the SIM on another device to ensure it was working
Checked if the IMEI wasn't missing/undefined. It is not, the IMEI appears to be untouched
Checked if the IMEI had been blacklisted. It's not.
Flashed SEVERAL different stock ROMS with different CSC (ZTO, ZTA, ZVV)
Try to manually select the network. This also throws an error saying "error while searching for network"
I'm really desperate and don't know what to do anymore.
No one have a clue either? :C
Look inside here:
How to Fix 'Not Registered on Network' on Android
Here is how to fix 'Not Registered On Network' error on Android. Mostly error occurs on Samsung phones, but this solution works for all android phones.
www.android-recovery.net
Wow,
This is exactly like my S10 right now.
At first, all is good, the signal was great, all working well, except cant connect to samsung pass and samsung health because it was root.
then i brought to sellular shop service, to flash the phone.
Then, “not registered to network” happened. The signal ok, the phone able to read dual simcard, but “emergency call only” and if i try to search network manually, “error while searching for network”
And the sellular shop service have no idea how to fix after they reflashed and try to fix it for several days.
Have you found any solution to fix your pho?
pls advice…

So, were you able to find a solution for this problem? I also bought a Note 9 N960F/DS recently and found out it was actually a N960N model that was changed to N960F/DS. So I did exactly what you did, I flashed the original stock rom, N960N, but now phone will not connect to network. I also did hard reset, reflash other stock roms, nothing changed. Anybody with insight should please give us some pointers.
Hi, I have an issue with my TMO Oneplus 8 IN2007, it dosent have signal, it recognize the sim card but when i tap in network operators, it give me this msg "error while searching for networks"
1. Tried different sims cards (The phone is recognizing the sim cards, but still giving me no signal).
2. I unlock my phone using the tmounlock app, try different companies sim card, and still didnt work
3. Convert to global and still no signal.
I have read something about TWRP and restoring the modem.img, do you think that will fix the issue ? or what else can I try ? ( Currently im using global version, and i have the bootloader unlocked )
