No SIM card | Emergency calls only

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.

S7 HELP! Phone changed imei, changed the model and cant connect to the network.

Good morning XDA,
I'm in desperate needing help, sorry but English is not my first language.
My brother bought a S7 G930F - Exynos that was GSM locked with one company here in Brazil, so he paid a guy to unlock it.
After getting the phone back I notice that the phone now shows G930FD, when I use *#06# to see the IMEI, shows two number, as if it was Dual SIM and both numbers are different that what is written in the back of the phone and the box and the rom seem to be 6.01 but with a lot of programs pre-installed.
So I downloaded the newest ZTO stock rom from SamMobile and flashed, now the phone is on 7.0 but can't connect to the network and still show the tow differents imei numbers.
Any tips or guidance and how can I Solve this?
Thanks, TggB!

How To check whats the official version of MATE 9?

Bought phone Mate 9 second hand.
How can I be sure what version is it or if its been rebranded?
About phone says its a MHA-L09 and build is L09C432B182
I tried to upgrade it to newest b193 with method in this post [Guide] Mate 9 Flash Update Package and Rebrand
but after upgrade i noticed I lost MEID just zeros, same with PESN when type: *#06#
I am not sure if those numbers were the same before upgrade or something just went wrong.
Other thing is that phone doesnt recognize sim cards after upgrade, it works fine with b182, even if I do upgrade with normal software upgrade throuh phone it finds b190 and again sim is not recognized.
It made me thinking ,how can I actually know what version of Mate 9 i have? I went to huawei web site to check warranty (http://consumer.huawei.com/in/support/warranty-query/index.htm) for this phone and acording to its serial nr/ imei and it says its a MHA-L09B ?im slightly surprised as i found out L09B is an Australian model? live in UK . my serial nr is UGM0217122003582 can someone advice? also if its L09 so i suppose it should have only 1 sim , then why if i go to mobile network there is an sim 2 network field (grey out) ,is that how it should be?
thx

You have 2 sims cause u rebranded ur phone from single sim l09 to dual sim l29.
Better to rebrand it back to l09 so you can hve ur iemi back and working network.

Read carefully , I have IMEI with all brands , I lost MEID and PESN not IMEI, also never rebranded to any l29 always used l09 that's the point

Are u sure it was L09 Firmware u used? Because if it shows that u have 2 sim now u used L29 Firmware when u flashed it, if u flash a L09 that is the singel sim version with a L29 Firmware it will show that u have 2 sim slots in the Settings.

1. bought phone mate 9
2 have no knowledge of its history and if it was rebranded or not.
3. phone info clearly shows MHA - L09 C432B182, IMEI was also there and mach serial number according to huewai warranty checker
4. tried to upgrade many times to newest MHA-09 C432193 but always had some issue with it finaly somehow i did it, phone info was showing MHA - L09 C432B193 IMEI was there but i noticed there is no MEID just zeros
5. confirmed that with dialler: *#06# MEID and PESN have just zeros IMEI is there
6. inserted sim and phone had to noticed its there as had pop up from sim vodafone if i want to use prepay or postpay, after selecting either of two : no service.
7 in settings , mobile network there are 2 sections sim 1 and sim 2 both ,grey out
8 rebranded phone with MHA - L09 C432B186, all went ok but results the same, phone upgraded mobile network still shows sim 1 sim 2 both greyout, no service
9 again flashed phone with MHA - L09 C432B182, straight away phone picked up signal. mobile network still shows sim 1 filled with info and sim 2 greyout.
10.having installed MHA - L09 C432B182 i upgraded software through official way settings ,system upgrade : system found MHA-L09C432B190 proceed with that , as a result system upgraded but again sim 1 sim 2 grey out no service.
Thats why im wondering if there is any way to find out phone original region/brand/version ? how can i know if i got L09 or L29 regardless software it has installed?
Something there is definitely not right if the official phone upgrade screws things up ,there is no service and only firmware that works is 182.

Seems it was single sim branded phone and the previous owner has flash it to single sim unbranded.
I think l29c636 firmware can fix it. Just flash an approved firmware.

I am in the same boat. Posted bere my experience a week ago but no reply. I rebranded from C567 to C432 and all work well. I even updated to Oreo. For me is just a cosmetic issues, but I'd still love to fix it.

I don't think it's possible to fix. I have looked into this a lot as I had the same thing happening on my phone and nobody seems to have a fix. When you rebrand a single sim device to a dual SIM ROM it appears to activate the second sim slot which gives the MEID 00000000 in settings and activates dual SIM menu in settings. It also stops the SIM from being read in some ROMs until the SIM is ejected and put back in after a reboot. The second sim reader stays active even if you rebrand back to a single sim ROM. I ultimately had to send my phone off to be repaired and they ended up replacing the mainboard under warranty.

Does T-Mobile OP8 5G Support Dual-Sim if on Global Firmware?

I was curious as a colleuge of mine recently purchased the OP8 5G from T-Mobile rather than directly from OnePlus. The sim tray only supports one SIM, and I am assuming that as it has been done historically on prior OP devices, the T-Mobile OP software only supports one sim card. I am unsure as to whether the T-Mobile variant has hardware to support two sims or not, but I think it may only a software issue. Would rooting and flashing to get onto the Global firmware enable dual-sim support for a OP8 5G T-Mobile variant?
Thank you,

I'd assume so. I'm planning on trying this myself when my dual sim slot comes in from Shenzhen.

What is the dual sim's use case for you? International travel or work/personal use?
I think in Asian countries, people often get 1 cheap SIM for cheap voice plan and another SIM for cheap data plan.

In my colleague's case, for work and personal use. I personally have my OP7 Pro as my work phone, and it is the unlocked non-carrier variant, so the dual sim support is there. However, for my use, too, I would like to have the capability available on my T-Mobile OP8 5G just as my colleague. I had him order a dual-sim tray from eBay, and from a US seller to get the item faster. If it works for him, I'll likely order the dual sim tray.

i dont think the global or eu roms support dual sim. there was a disclaimer under the network & sim settings untill ob1. not sure if ob1 supports dual sim yet

Dual sim works, however, i cant get my Verizon sim to work with t-mobile. I get the CDMA-less notification, i read that you can get it to work, you just got to call verizon to register your imei with them so dual sim can work. This is running open beta, stable 10.5.12 wouldnt see my second sim.
I havent called them because my verizon sim is through work.

And, this is on a T-Mobile OP8 5G? If so, I wonder if my colleague would have any issues running two T-Mobile SIMs on a global ROM? (I suspect the T-Mobile software doesn't even recognize a second SIM).

Yes, this is on my t-mobile OP8. I converted to global because I prefer global. I haven't tried two t mobile sim cards, and I haven't tried using t mobiles firmware.

So, after receiving the dual sim tray, and inserting two SIM's on T-Mobile's software--it does not even recognize the second SIM. What particular guide did you use to port over to the global firmware? Thanks!

I would also be really interested in knowing how to get the second SIM to read on the T-Mobile IN2017 variant of this phone. I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work, now that I've seen that the international models running Android 11 OB2 seem to have functional dual SIM. Personally, I kind of gave up on getting Android 10 to do dual SIM- even with the European ROM (which I'm fairly certain is the only way dual SIM on this device was ever officially supported by OnePlus), I haven't gotten it, but I think I'm annoyingly close. T-Mobile MSM to Global 10.5.12 to Android 11 DP2 will get you non-functional dual SIM- the device will see both SIM cards, and will properly identify them and their phone numbers, but the second SIM won't connect to voice or data, no matter what I do. If I upgrade the device from DP2 to OB2, the dual SIM UI stays (if I go directly from Global to OB2, it doesn't show), but the second SIM slot is still non-functional- no service for voice or data on the second SIM.
For anyone who has gotten a T-Mobile OP8 to properly read two SIM cards, I'd really like to know how- through my hours of messing around with this thing, it always seems like one step forward and two steps back. Hopefully the final release of Android 11 clears this up.
(My two SIMs are from T-Mobile and AT&T, respectively. Unfortunately, I don't think two T-Mobile SIMs has a chance of ever working with this setup on any firmware- "SIM 1" and "SIM 2" share an IMEI. While that's probably okay for SIMs from different carriers, that's not going to fly on the same carrier- it will look like a cloned IMEI to the network, and probably get shut down fairly quickly.)

Has anyone managed to make it work the Oneplus 8 (pro) unlocked USA version with 2 sims at the same time ? Thank you

It's working on mine with second simbtray however there is no service with both inserted. BecUzebitvhas the same IMEI as slot 1
