Hey guys.. I got a 930P that I recently picked up. It's unlocked andI put the newest U firmware on it from sammobile.. I put my T-mobile SIM card in there and nothing.. No signal.. Has a good IMEI, sees my-mobile number but doesn't associate with the network at all. Calling t-mobile was no help, they told me device is bad.. I also tried flashing latest 930T firmware also - same deal.. It sees T-Mobile APN settings but won't connect, period.. Anyone have suggestions before I return this device? THanks

NOTE:
MABY THE PROBLEM FROM THE IMEI NUMBER, BECAUSE I GOT IT WRONG , IT IS LIKE IN THE ATTACHMENT.
PLEASE GUYS HELP ME ....
Yep, a borked imei number will not allow you to connect to your cellular network...
I'm guessing that your efs folder wasn't backed up... you can try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
I haven't tried this but good luck.
thank you brassguy...
but does this work for infuse 4G ?
In addition, I read that we can change the IMEI number using the ADB, or is there another way to do this?
Also, what about the GSII_repair app, can I use it for my phone (infuse 4G)?
i had this problem last night where i flashed a rom. i return it to stock and imei showed up.
was having a imei" unknown error" and i backed up now on my computer.
ps ebay sales unlock service for 0.99$ if you didn't buy the code and just hacked it with hex or whatever
mine is already unlocked and it's permanent
i do travel over seas alot
But i returned mine to stock many times but the imei number still like this.
I did no get you in the third line???

Hi all,
looking for some solid advice on what to do next, My Gt-I9300 is originally from ireland, on the network meteor.
i got it factory unlocked, then i moved to western australia , started using a telstra sim everything worked fine, then when i tried to make a call it would make no sound during call on both phones, (mine and the one im calling) when i hang up i would loose signal and then it would come back after a few seconds, so after doing factory restets ect, nothing worked. i then rooted the phone using odin to see if anything would change with the no sound during calll problem , the rooted file i used was for the telstra network (australia) then when trying to make calls it says not registered on network, went into network settings and manually tried to select the telstra network , still no luck. and now to where im at now , i unrooted my phone using odin the unroot file i downloaded was for the meteor network(ireland) one the phone originally came on . still the same problem with not registered on network. i will admit im familiar with what im doing but not a expert , please help i need my phone :crying:
can someone please help any advice will be appreciated :good:
Hi
First you have to root again, install busybox then install Ariza Patch for IMEI, click on patch 0.5 and you should be fine. I think everyone who has upgraded to leaked JB 4.2.2 ended up in the same situation.

I was having a similar issue on my friend's i9300. I upgraded his phone to 4.3 but got this issue. Unfortunately, I didn't back up his EFS so lost the network after upgrade (NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK).
I Tried everything from Ariza patch to going back to 4.1 MG4 firmware & zuluman patching the MG4 modem but nothing worked at all.
I was at my wit's end when as a last resort I installed I9300XXUGNB6 firmware through Odin. Then rooted it, installed CWM recovery. After that I installed "Patched_Modem_I9300XXEMG4" zip through CWM (ATTACHED).
There was still no network & IMEI turned to 000000000.
After that I downloaded Boeffla 5.1 kernel (for i9300) and VOILA, I got network & IMEI was restored. I do not know how it worked but it solved my problem. You can download Boeffla kernel from his website boeffla-kernel. de
I promised myself to always backup EFS & never to upgrade anyone's phone again except my own. Too much liability.
I hope it works for you.
I bought an S7 recently with an IMEI blocked by T-Mobile.
Update: I have, successfully, flashed to G930U. This was done through Odin following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...g930u-firmware-to-t-mobile-s7-t3533918/page1
Good news is that when I insert a different SIM card I now get access to a prompt asking for an unlock code. Maybe I can unlock it for Verizon, Sprint, etc?
Bad news is that I currently am on MintSIM which use T-Mobile networks. So it cannot be activated.
More information: I did ring up multiple times to T-Mobile and managed to get a difinitive answer that "Yes" it is still being financed, and therefore only the account holder can activate it.
I think my best option is to sell it making the bad IMEI number clear. Or to purchase a broken S7 in hopes of replacing the IMEI number physically.
Previously:
I want to switch firmware so I can unlock the IMEI without going through T-Mobile. Would it be possible to use Odin to flash Sprint firmware or Deoxed firmware?
I rooted the S7 and tried to install the Deoxed firmware through FlashFire but the S7 interrupted and restored it to default firmware. Which app files do I need to disable to stop this happening?

There is a guy that can change or unlook your IMEI, look in the forum you can find him. Change the rom or firmware does not change your IMEI.
hope it can help

I have changed the IMEI number to an old phone of mine. Which is legal AFAIK, but it still isn't letting the phone be unlocked by T-Mobile.

It was originally an unlocked model straight from Samsung. I flashed AT&T firmware so I could use some features. I figured this build number would receive OTA updates.
i never got ota updates on my unlocked phone. I've installed 100% at&t stock firmware.

imei and sim is registered maybe that's why wifi calling never worked on mine. lol
Current stock is N950USQU5CRG7
You can dl the update.zip file HERE, copy it to your ext SD card and flash it from recovery. This WILL factory reset

Do you have ATT Rom on it or it the stock Rom from Samsung?
Also, can I ask what you told them to change the IMEI?
I called and they were telling me I can't change the IMEI and that even if we do change it, it would only work on the previous phone... which seems bogus...

Was originally unlocked direct from Samsung, I flashed AT&T software.
I just flashed the update on my own, I don't know if I'll ever get OTA.
I had no problem changing IMEI. It had my old S7 edge IMEI, I used chat to change it to my current Note 8. Then quickly had them switch it to Note 7 IMEI once WIFI calling wouldn't work. They asked no questions both times. Just told them I upgraded phones and need to update my IMEI. I've never called them, just used the chat feature.

Thanks Stalker...
Now I have to decide if I want to flash ATT firmware or not...
Hate having to re-setup my phone haha.
So you just used Odin and the ATT firmware correct?
FYI I have been getting ATT OTA updates on my stock SS direct Note 8.

Yep, used Odin and the ATT firmware. I just back everything up using smart switch external storage feature and backed up my Nova Launcher settings. Only thing I don't like is I have to tweak all the settings over again.

One last question.
Did you need to give them the old SIM#?
I have info in my email before returning my Note 7 but nothing on the SIM card # and wonder if that might give me some trouble later on for wifi calling.

You won't get AT&T OTA unless you're in AT&T network with MCC 310 MNC410 (Red pock GSMA has this so it can get AT&T OTA update).

Could you explain this a bit? I don't know what any of that means
You need active AT&T sim cards or AT&T MVNO (Red pockets(310 410 but not Freedompop 310 170) sim card in your phone to get AT&T software update.

My sim card is direct from AT&T. I've been using the same one since I purchased and activated the Note 7 in an AT&T store
Did you flash your phone with AT&T firmware including home CSC or just part of AT&T firmware?
You have to flash complete AT&T firmware to get AT&T OTA.

I have a Sprint A71 5G that I put onto the Cricket network because the IMEI checker says it is compatible. It worked for a week and then today I am unable to make/receive phone calls (can still send texts and access mobile data though). Some digging suggests this because only the SM-A716U1 is whitelisted for AT&T/Cricket (in which case why is my IMEI checking out, but I digress). So does anyone know if I can flash the SM-A716U with SM-A716U1 firmware? Thanks for any help.
