Hello everyone, have a nice day and best wishes for the new year! :highfive:
This is my sister's phone, a Samsung Ace S5839i with stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 as second phone with Vodafone carrier. Years ago it was unlocked and rooted at a phone shop and everything was fine. At some point, she issued that the phone stopped connecting and wouldn't work with Vodafone, but strangely it works with other carriers.
So now I have the phone with me, I have tested older Vodafone sim cards and they work fine, tested other carrier sims and they work. I have tested 2 new Vodafone sim cards (mine and my sister's, which are both new and work on other phones) and both fail. The phone boots and doesn't ask the pin code. There is the icon in the statusbar with the sim card and an exclamation mark like there is no card. The radio signal is ok, IMEI is ok, it says "Insert SIM card" when I try to enter the Network Operators in settings menu.
I have downloaded a stock rom with newer PDA and modem versions and flashed them with Odin, but no luck, everything is still the same (except the flash counter...). I wonder if searching and flashing even a newer modem would solve the issue. Or would a newer Android version if there is. :silly:
It looks that this is a Vodafone related issue with the new cards, but all they say is that the sim is operative and won't help.

Hello all. I need some help. I recently traveled down to the US, and decided to place my blackberry (rogers) sim card into my fido nexus s, to avoid getting charged on the fido account. everything worked great. Until I came back to Canada, and tried to use the fido sim card. It will not recognize my fido sim anymore, it says emergency calls only and sos over the signal. If I try to edit the apn's they won't save. Thought it was a bad sim, so I went to fido, and asked for another, so they gave me one, and it doesn't work still, and they tried it in a different phone and it worked at the store. so I am lost. If I re insert the rogers sim, I am on the network right away. I called rogers, I called fido, I went down to the fido store in person. I searched the net. I've done a factory reset, I've done restores. I've tried to use unlocking apps from the market. The phone just thinks there is no sim card. I am running miui, and while in the bootloader, the carrier info says that it is at&t... I did flash the rom while in the US to an updated version, with the rogers sim. I have tried to reinstall the rom after that, updated the rom, flashed the kernel and the radio, but with no success. Can anyone please help?

i went back to 4.0.4 then used odin and upgraded back to 4.1.2 reset wiped phone rebooted completly stock all root and custom recovery gone. used verizon software and went from mb1 to NE1 updated software now its at stock 4.4.2
i can insert a old rogers canada sim it sees network right away and shows up in APN
insert a new activated telus sim and it does not show anything except for the sim from unknown provider or non verizon sim crap but i know how to remove the system app for that notice does not change a thing.
i have used" phone info" and tried the different bands global, lte/cdma, gsm i have tried in service modes and dial pad codes (have not done *228 on 4g lte phones so its not a fried sim card) best i get with telus sim in and set in gsm mode is the can rogers network show up. nothing in the other modes.
i have manual tried the APN setting in phone and apn manager no change
i show a imei number however it is different from the original on the back sticker but the phone has no issues with the rogers sim card and the current phones imei so it changed at some point prob from a previous custom ROM but it is working to see a network just not activated on rogers
so now i have a unlocked bootloader, stock 4.4.2 clean phone 100% stock Verizon software i have read everything i can seem to dig up and still will not work
i have a Globe dual sim s6 and both sim card slots got locked
it has signal but it says "Emergency call only" and obviously i can not make a phone call or send and receive message.
it was ok before and both sim got locked one by one
and also i flashed custom kernels and roms but no luck
Please Help !
Did you buy used?
did you flash proper modem for your network carrier?
i bought it brand new
and it happened by itself . not after flashing roms or kernels .
one day it was ok and suddenly this problem happened
Is your baseband up to date as well as the modem?
should i download and flash modem separately from rom ?
is not flashing rom enough ?
Hi, my phone is currently locked to carrier smart. Before flashing my first rom, as long as I had 1 smart sim card on any sim slot, the other one can read any other carrier. After flashing rom, if I insert 1 smart sim and another one from a different carrier, I get the network lock notification. It works fine though if I just use 1 smart sim only, or smart sim for both sim slots.
Any ideas on how to revert this? Or are there any unlocking apps I can try for free? Thanks!
Got that same phone few days ago, and as far as my knowledge goes the F and FD version shouldn't be network locked as they ship world wide (international model with exynos chip). From what you saying, its after you flashed the ROM you got the second card locked, so my first question would be what ROM have you installed ? and can you link me to it. 2nd idea or question.. Did you flash the FD ROM or the F one? the F is a single sim version, it does have the second slot in there actually but its disabled or locked, so it might be that the 2nd slot is disabled or something. 3rd, have you tried other ROMs ? or even stock firmware, you can confirm if the ROM is the issue.
And my advice is to not try the apps, most of them are either outdated that only work with exploits in old android versions, or a complete scam. Waiting for your reply.
Hi Salazar, thanks for answering! I already forgot what rom it was - that was about 6 months ago. I remember then I had a backup of my EFS and baseband using TWRP. I remember restoring those when I first encountered the problem - that's how I got my 2nd sim slot working again. Problem is I've already lost that backup, and when i reformatted my phone yesterday, the 2nd sim slot wouldnt work anymore. Just tried flashing a number of custom and stock roms earlier today - problem still persists. If you happen to have the same device (G930FD) - mind sharing your TWRP backup for baseband and EFS?
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

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.
