Help Please - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi.
I'm from uk ( hi to you all ). I made a mistake, bought an s8+ on ebay which ended up to be an usa model ( scam ) and after 1 month of usage suddently my SIM doesen't work anymore ( worked smoothly before ) also my phone says "no service" :crying: .
My SIM is working into other devices but no other sim works into my phone.
I believe i got some kind of virus or maybe a software problem..i don't know.
Tried factory reset, network reset, still no results.
Reading through the forum i tried out odin but i'm a newbee here ( never had usa models ). I tried 2-3 different ways but the result is "FAIL"
All i know when i enter the Download mode it says: carrier ATT
But my Baseband is G955USQU4CRE9 ( t mobile ) i dont know how.
Anyway, can anyone of you help me please with a step by step tutorial and maybe a link that suits my phone?
Thank you very much and have a lovely day.

I would make sure the device isn't blacklisted I have seen cases like this a bunch of times. All 4 major carriers in US can be checked on their websites. With the byod pages a lot as well as other places. If it is black listed you can use your local police. Plus eBay or where ever with your purchase receipt

Rooted Samsung I9000 sim card not detected

Hi All,
I've just got an Samsung Galaxy S that is coded to a provider network.
So far so good ...
After I've installed an application and root the phone and then unroot it, my pone doesn't recognize my sim card ...
If I navigate to the Mobile Network from Settings then I get No SIM card inserted.
Facts to take into consideration:
- I have restarted the phone;
- I have applied a factory reset and lost all my data except music and files I've got on it;
- I have shacked the SIM card a little bit;
- I didn't applied a hard reset to it;
- I did tried to put a different provider SIM card and the message I get is to insert PIN then is asking for the UNLOCK NETWORK PIN;
- I am able to log in the phone but with no service
Please note that when starting / restarting the phone I get no Insert PIN popup
Anyone has an ideea why ?
I've got the same problem saptaru.
No sim card is detected in my Galaxy S.
If you happen to solve it, please, do not forget to post a comment.
After dialing #*1234# I can read:
PDA:
PHONE: Unknown
CSC:
I guess the IMEI cannot be recognized by the phone.
At least, I wrote it before rooting and flashing.
Any help will be highly apreciatted!
Hello,
After several restarts, hard reseting the phone and enable-disable networking I still get the sim card removed from time to time ... I don't really know how to debug this... if there is anyone on this forum with the right experience in order to debug the system please write me and maybe we can find a solution.
I must mention that I have unlocked my phone and also rooted it.
Thanks allot !
I have same problem now, can anyone help.
well my sim card has been identified but i can't seem to register on the network.....thats as far as i got as a noob with my first android (xperia x8)......can someone help me from here on......
i get nothing from sims from various networks, it doesn't even register as having a sim in it...
unlocked and darkys rom... driving me crazy, it basically a large mp3 player at the moment...
Maybe have installed the wrong ROM. i9000 has many bases and radios. I had this problem installing 900mhz ROM on a 850mhz sim.
Good luck

Hmm, ok this might be the issue, flashing the htc desire is so much simpler!!
Will try to find correct radios and stuff again...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Even I am having the EXACT same issues right now. I also did the factory reset but that doesn't help!

Have the same problem here. Have you managed to find a solution?
Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone is still interested but I've found that putting the phone into flight mode and then rebooting seems to work, because when I then turn flight mode off it asks me for my pin code and service is restored. As long as the IMEI folder is still in the efs folder then things should be fine.
Hope this helps for anyone who is here or just stumbles across this.
I've had the same problem > Sim Card not found.
I went to the Vodafone repair center today they said the phone had water damage.
Its never been near any water ever-they said that it could have happened months ago - "perhaps you hand wet hands once?". Its still in warranty but the apparent water damage means the warranty its now invalid. So now I'm stuck with an expensive video/audio player with WiFi access. Any help or progress with this issue would be great. Thanks

[Q] Galaxy s problem

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s in the uk, that was originally on virgin , but when I bought it was new and unlocked. I wanted it to run on the network 3, however It wouldnt work when sim was inserted (it said data network not available when I attempted to call someone). Any other sim than 3 worked. I contacted customer support, and they wouldnt help in any way except from say that the firmware is incompatible. I have tried with odin and non of the firmwares seem to work. Please could you reccomend a uk 2.1 - 2.2 firmware that works with 3 mobile simcards.
Thanks,
Stanley
I have just tried with odin the firmware I9000NEJP5 however mayne I had a dodgy vesion because it said no com port or something and then failed. Please if anyone is with three and has there sgs to work please send me a link to the firmware. After trying many times it worked, however would stick on the boot screen displaying the galaxy s logo. Please is there anyone who can tell me their firmware vesion that works with h3g (three mobile uk).
Thanks again
Stanley

Phone not allowed MM#6 @ Galaxy S

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?
Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.
I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!

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!

[Q] How do I fix my Samsung Galaxy S3 SIM problem

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category , Im new to the XDA forums
So a few weeks ago , I decided to upgrade my S3 Gt-i9300 to android 4.3 from 4.1.2. I thought it was pretty easy , download the rom and then use Odin. Well I screwed up. I used this app called Updato , from which I downloaded the firmware. I didn't realize that I actually download the Poland version and there was something called Orange(pretty sure it was the SIM carrier ) and I ACCIDENTALLY installed it. Well it ended up with my SIM not being detected by my phone. Im pretty sure my SIM is fine its something wrong with the phone. Previously my region rom was Kenya ( although I don't live there) so then , I tried a bunch of stuff , like getting a rom of my own country , which didn't work... Tried to do a bunch of tricks with the battery and SIM . I think that my SIM might have been locked or something... but not quite sure. It was perfectly working before the update. So can anybody link me a rom or atleast help me? When ever I try to connect to a carrier through the settings , I get a small message at the bottom "Network registered" but then in notifications I get the message" No service: Selected service provider not available"
And if you link me a Rom please be 4.1.2 because my phone now lags and hangs a lot. Thank-you.
PS: Need help fast though.
