have you tried using other sims? maybe its not compatible with your specific sim.
maybe you just dont have any coverage, when i get the "not registred on network" message, it usualy means i'm underground, or in a place with low cell coverage, like in the woods or mountains.

The phone is factory unlocked so no issues related to not compatible and I tried with another sim too. Still the same problem. The problem only came when I flashed the 4.3 Indian stock rom. But that rom doesn't have any problem coz I've used on other note 2 too. Something related with the phone.

Hi there if you go into settings and then about device and then status you will be able to see if you have a service state if you don't have any but the network operator appears as well as signal stats. You most likely have a black listed iemi or something happened to the iemi when flashing the rom or more simple is the sim slot is broken. Hopefully you will be able to fix it sorry I can't give you that much help on this subject.

Your last & only solution if you want to use your phone, it's to root your device.
Because it's your radio which is bad. Your baseband is for only USA and not for Greece or World West Europe (WWE)
You need to root your device and change for an European Baseband.
That's why you need to know what exactly your device:
Go to settings => About =>
Phone identity
(you will see model number, and lot of infos that you will need write somewhere for giving on your next post)
Software information
(remember these infos)
and finally click "More"
You will see your baseband and more infos that you need to give also.
Give me your model number and your device serial number, and I'll give you the good way for searching

I've got a bad news for you because you cannot unlock your sim card.
In fact your phone is only use for US cellular (CDMA) not European (GSM)
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma
If you use "search all forums" just above and type:
Code:
Samsung galaxy s4 sch-r970 unlock
you will find a lot of posts about this subject but with all time same answer: You CANNOT
Sorry for this bad news.
Good luck

Did You unlock GSM on Your phone?

I too have an r970 from USCC. I too went to the corp location to have them courier unlock the phone. I have installed "OctOS" rom specific to this device. I have put a t-mobile sim card in the phone and get intermittent "LTE" but cannot make or receive calls. Is there anyone who has any info on this subject?

Remove simlock

Hi xda, it's been a while since I've been here and looking around has me scratching my head a little.
Anyway I have just purchased a galaxy s6 from eBay foolishly thinking it would be easy to remove the simlock but after a little reading I'm beginning to think I may have made a mistake. I'm not sure what network the phone is locked to as I have not yet received it and the listing states in the title O2 but the description says Vodafone, all I know is the model begins G920F. I thought maybe rooting and flashing a stock firmware would remove the simlock but after reading it looks like this is not the case. I then read also about "tripping knox" which sounds like something I don't want to be doing.
Root is probably something I will be looking to do in the future but not essential right now but I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me the best way to go about putting my virgin sim in this phone.
Please help
Thanks Peter.

I thought the 920F is the facotry unlocked international version so any sim would work.
When are you receiving this? Where are you trying to make this work.

Most European providers don't simlock, so you will most likely just have a provider rom, they are easy to replace with a generic stock rom

He is sending the phone out first class tomorrow so I'll report back after I have received it. I'll be using it in the UK, hopefully I'll get lucky and just be able to use it as soon as I get it. Thanks for the replies people.

Try buying an unlock code from one of the many reputable online unlockers.

I am also in the same boat. I bought samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920f model from malaysia and now when I insert indian sim its say its locked and asking for unlock code. I am just worried now. i am thinking if i can flash stock indian firmware sm-g920i to realease the lock.

no you need an unlock code

Well I received the phone today and it seems I don't have to worry about the simlock as it's a bloody counterfeit!!! Grrrrrrrrrr, in the middle of a dispute atm but hopefully I'll receive a refund. Anybody that wants to help please see this thread...

First, you probably need to identify if your network is a CDMA network or a GSM network, the Verizon devices are CDMA. Try finding a S7 Edge firmware for your region/carrier, then try flashing that. Do some research and make sure that there are significant differences between the model number that you actually have and the model number of the firmware that you attempt to use, you might cause a brick if you aren't careful.
