I bought a used note 5 T-MOBILE 64 GB that was unlocked yesterday. My sim card was working fine. I installed TWRP recovery by ODIN and after installing it my phone boot-looped. So, I installed "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip" file and rooted the phone with "BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip". After that the stock rom booted fine but I the phone turned on it gave the error that non-carrier sim was inserted and the sim did not work. I tried formatting the phone. Installed the nougat firmware updated it and the problem still persistes. Is there any way to remove Network lock? I would appreciate your help greatly

You use the app in the T-Mobile folder to unlock

Not sure if anyone has run into this at all but all help is appreciated. I rooted my unlocked g930u. Its on the latest firmware for the unlocked variant. I installed my Verizon sim card and a message popped up saying g it had to restart to download carrier specific features. When it reboots, it reboots into recovery mode and gives me a DRM has failed message. I'm not sure why this is attached to the sim card because if I restart the phone wothpout a sim, I can use it normally. Thanks guys
Hi guys!
Here's my problem
A week ago I rebooted my phone and it said "Invalid SIM card"( I was with a Custom ROM), then i flashed the stock Firmware with ODIN thinking that the network relocked itself to t-mobile and use the Device Unlock App to unlock it, and i got the same message, and the app didn't work... until this day i noticed the IMEI was changed (it is not the one that i have in the back of the phone) it is like 370000000006.
I am trying to change it via Xposed Modules and they seems not to work, i am not sure if it was changed after the reboot that gave me the message of "Invalid SIM card" or after the stock firmware flash with ODIN.
Can anyone help me to change the IMEI please?
Thank you in advance!
Sorry for the english!
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 checked my IMEI on Visible's website and it checked out. I am running the Android 11 Pixel Experience ROM and Google Fi SIM worked fine, but I cannot get the Visible SIM to even be recognized as existing in the tray. I tried both SIM slots. Does this have something to do with being rooted? Ironically I installed this SIM in my Poco F3 which is NOT compatible, and although I got no service, that phone did recognize the SIM and even all of the Verizon APNs. Just wondering if you guys have any thoughts? Thanks.

It shouldnt have anything to do with being rooted, but if you have converted/changed firmware then that could be the issue.
If you have the engineering mode app installed u can check the sim in *#808# or by adb shell am start com.oneplus.factorymode/.manualtest.SimCardTest . If the test fails then the modem or your efs is messed up.Hopfully you have a efs back up. Try starting over with MSM flash first.I believe the fail sim is caused buy a key that is in the locked sfs folder of the efs. I do know for a fact there is a RSUprivate key there also. And have obtained it. But still have not found a way to write this back, other then efs restore in twrp.
I'm guessing it is related to the ROM.

I'm on visible and I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile gm1915. When on the global rom, it gave me a pop up to instructions for using the verizon sim on a cdma-less device. However, I didn't have to do anything and the sim started randomly working after waiting 5-10 minutes. So, i recommend just leaving the sim in for atleast 10 min and have mobile data on.
Hi last week I have tried to install Oxygen os (Global version) using oneplus updater and I got network issue and sim not detecting issue. After that I have tried
his tutorial to go back to my stock version and everything seems working fine untill today morning. My phone stoped detecting my sim card and I can't even go to sim card setting. Sim toolkit disappeared and Baseband showing unknown. Can anybody instruct me to fix this ?
Note : I don't have any backup EFS files :'(

I have this problem too. Have you found any way to solve the problem?
Hmm, I still didn't find any solutions bro, but I think it's better to go to a repair shop. I didn't go to any repairing shop since I am done with this crap oneplus brands. Full of bugs :'(
