920i - no sim/no registered network after marshmallow update

Hi,
This is my first post but, I'm an avid lurker. I am having some issues with my girlfriends 920i. It received an OTA update to marshmallow and ever since it won't read the Sim card. I've tried to flash the official fw through Odin and still having the same problem. Because it doesn't read my Sim card, I have zero access to any mobile network settings.
I am wondering if when they updated the marshmallow, I lost unlock capability.
Also, her imei and sn still match. Most of the problems I see people have are mismatched numbers, and her phone seems fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, I checked the firmware that I flashed and it was INS which seems to be the locked version.
I flashed the INU firmware this morning but still not reading my SIM.
I'm out of options at this point, I'm going to go back to lollipop and see how that goes.
Hi,
I am having this issue for my SM G-920I since 2/3 Jan, 2017. I am using fine on US Tmobile network since Oct 2015, but all of a sudden got the no SIM, emergency calls only and continues to stay like this.. I am curious to know if you resolved the issue and how. Thanks for any feedback!
Help me please
I'm having the same issue. Just flashed INS 6.0.1 firmware on my brand new G920I and now i can't get any mobile signal or data. Tried to flash ZTO firmware for my country, but same issue. My phone was fine before flashing INS firmware. IMEI it's fine too. Recovery shows: Applied multi-csc. What can i do? ((((((((((

Do you also see: " No SIM, Emergency calls only" after rebooting the phone? What's the baseband version ?

Thank you so much for helping me. Baseband version shows: G920IDVU3EPIF
I see only Emergency Calls Only message

Try to connect to Wi-Fi only and once connected, check if there are updates for Software/Firmware.

Already updated and tried to downgrade to 5.1.1, but no sucess. I don't think it's a hw problem, cause it was working before the INS firmware flash, and IMEI number still shows right, no matter what rom i flash (now on MIUI). Can i clean EFS partition and try to flash ZTO firmware again, or i might lost my IMEI and get more problems? Also, wondering if advanced wipe with everything checked on TWRP can help. (data, internal storage, system, sbfs, cache, dalvik cache)
Can you open the phone dialer and enter this code *#*#4636#*#* then clikc Phone Information, and send a screenshot of what you see in the screen (Make sure no IMEI in the screenshot, before you post it here) ? Also check if Radio is OFF or ON.

Codes on my dialer doesn't work, but i'm sure the IMEI is right cause it's showing in phone information. Also, radio is on cause when i search for mobile networks the carriers of my country appears on the screen but when i click on then, just appears a message saying that can't connect
Same problem, any solutions?
I had same issue for over a year, you can check details in my thread, resolved by factory warranty motherboard replacement (free of charge, even thou knox was tripped when I bought it, and I told lady in authorised repair shop that i don`t have warranty).
Forgot to mention that I also tried to repair it via Octoplus box, both by me and some other people (wanted a second opinion), DRK fixed, few new certs written, etc.), not only by flashing fw via Odin or Smart Switch.
And I was 99% sure it was hw, turns I was right.
P.S. country dependable: - in some countries they will probably want to sell you a new motherboard in Samsung (happened to me), but in other factory warranty will be accepted (probably, if the phone is not older than 3 yrs I guess)

[Completed] Have signal but not registered on network

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. When the google drive app was downloading from google play, my phone went off due to poor battery. Later when I tried to turn it ON, it has been getting stuck in the boot. So I decided to reinstall my custom ROM. Being busy with my baby, toddler, household chores and job, I gave it to my brother to flash the ROM. After a while, I noticed that my sim was bricked.
It says "Emergency Calls Only", has fake IMEI but working signal.
We did not backup the efs. I tried searching all the methods like modem installation, CSC, baseband verions, IMEI re-write, Kies Upgrade and Initialization, other people's efs restore, etc. But the problem is unchanged. Some of the followed method might have failed for not having proper knowledge like IMEI re-write tool works on specified chipset, etc.
What we noticed is that using different baseband version toggles from having network signal or no signal.
Kies shows more than four firmware versions and no other details like CSC, etc.
How do I clean up all these especially to have SIM working on my phone?
I appreciate you assistance to be brief and clear to understand steps than sending links. Because my time is stress-fully short.
Hi !
There is some confusing info in your post
What do you mean with it has fake IMEI " ? Have you changed it ?
You say that you have a working SIM on certain basebands , is this happening on a custom rom or stock ?
Have you tried to flash a stock firmware as I see that you tried to flash "your custom rom " ?
Cheers !
First of all, thank you for your response and interest to assist.
My mobile's IMEI is shown as 004999010640000 which is not original. Can you help me to change it to correct IMEI suitable for my Samsung S3 GT-i9300 chipset, if that helps in enabling sim to connect to a network? I think changing method only masks the IMEI?
I have tried flashing stock firmware and also Kies Upgrade and Initialization.
I have also changed baseband version installation on stock ROM too. I don't know which baseband is correct to keep.. for my country India or in the country where my mobile is manufactured, incase that's locking sim accessibility? Some baseband bought signal and detected the network operator name, but the message still says "Emergency Calls Only" and is unable to connect to a network.
I presume this problem arose when installing custom ROM from TWRP recovery and it messed up with efs partition?
I had successfully flashed custom ROM many times before without this problem. I think there's some next step to follow to bring back the working sim like I heard of installing modem. I did just try installing modem but same problem as my baseband is already bringing signal.
I had tested my phone from sim unlock app and found out that CSC is locked and it limited specified MCC and MNC numbers. Is this hindering connection to Indian mobile network? Or corrupt efs? Or missed to manually install something?
Bump.

Can't connect to any cellular network anymore SM-G920F

Hello, I can't connect to my local mobile network anymore.
So I can't call or receive phone calls.
I am in Latvia, Baltic region.
My imei is legit and working, so is my phone number.
When I search for my mobile network it finds it -LV TELE2, easy, but when I attempt to connect to it, it shows it 'can't connect to this network try later', when of course the network is working properly for other phones., and it is the network that worked before.
I happened after I flashed a custom lineage rom. It was the right rom for my device,
and I flashed it in correct order and all worked except mobile networks.
I thought using odin to flash back the stock rom will fix it, but it didn't.
Now I am back to stock 7.0 , flashed csc SEB version for my region.
Now in mobile networks there is only Lte/2g/3g options, why there is no gsm or vcdma mobile service?
I believe my provider is gsm, so how to restore it so I could call again?
It shows no service in the drawer, and can't connect to my carrier.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you ^_^)/
Had same problem after my motherboard was changed in some mobile repair shop and old imei and stuff copied from old motherboard. After flashing stock 7.0 with ODIN, I had same problem. Luckily repair guy added some certs back free of charge. Something to do with not being official Samsung repair place and not having right kind of tool.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thank you for your info. Then it must be possible to fix it with the right tools even at home! I am sure there must be someone who knows how to do it and can help me, and many others with the same problem.
When you tap *#0011# imei status is OK or NG?
Hello, I typed *#0011# and yes imei status is ok, more info - rat=gsm (2g), band=pgsm900 and reg status is = not registered.
So this couldn't be an imei problem, could it?
During this time, I tried many roms, nougat and marshmallow, official and custom, but none has fixed it yet.
I was thinking, flashing original galaxy s6 lollipop rom will definitely do the trick,
because I remember I had a similar problem with my old galaxy s plus phone,
it was impossible to connect to any mobile network on any rom,
until I flashed the oldest stock rom for the device.
But the problem is, I can't find a working download for a custom lollipop rom, they are extinct it seems,
and the official lollipop rom can't be flashed with odin, obviously, because I have a higher fw already.
Official lollipop would be the best and would show if the problem is software related for once and for all,
but how to install it when knox and all kinds of binaries doesn't allow me to flash it with odin?
Is there another way to do it?
No need for this anymore, never solved the issue.
I sold the phone.
Thanks anyways ^-^)/

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!

Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F) doesn't register to network

I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F).
At first glance the phone was in excelent shape. The SIM Card was connecting to the mobile network, and calls, internet connection, etc was OK.
But then, I found out that the phone had been rooted. Probably, by the seller. In pannic, I rushed to unroot flashing the stock Rom.
Here what I did:
1- Forgot to check my precisly CSC code and assumed ZTA (cause I'm from Brazil, and the phone is from carrier "Claro")
2- Downloaded the stock rom using Frija
3- Using Odin 3.14.1 flashed the device.
The previous rooted system was on Android 10 and One UI 2.5. With this new rom went to Android 11 and One UI 3.0.
The problem:
The phone recognizes the SIM Card. But it simply doesn't connect to the network. When I try to make a call it says: " not registered on network"
The phone DO recgonizes the SIM Card. On the SIM Card Manager shows my carrier name (Vivo) and my phone number. Also, the SIM app is showing on the app list.
Things I tried:
Rebooting the phone
Changin the SIM Slot
Testing the SIM on another device to ensure it was working
Checked if the IMEI wasn't missing/undefined. It is not, the IMEI appears to be untouched
Checked if the IMEI had been blacklisted. It's not.
Flashed SEVERAL different stock ROMS with different CSC (ZTO, ZTA, ZVV)
Try to manually select the network. This also throws an error saying "error while searching for network"
I'm really desperate and don't know what to do anymore.
No one have a clue either? :C

How to Fix 'Not Registered on Network' on Android
Here is how to fix 'Not Registered On Network' error on Android. Mostly error occurs on Samsung phones, but this solution works for all android phones.
www.android-recovery.net
Wow,
This is exactly like my S10 right now.
At first, all is good, the signal was great, all working well, except cant connect to samsung pass and samsung health because it was root.
then i brought to sellular shop service, to flash the phone.
Then, “not registered to network” happened. The signal ok, the phone able to read dual simcard, but “emergency call only” and if i try to search network manually, “error while searching for network”
And the sellular shop service have no idea how to fix after they reflashed and try to fix it for several days.
Have you found any solution to fix your pho?
pls advice…

So, were you able to find a solution for this problem? I also bought a Note 9 N960F/DS recently and found out it was actually a N960N model that was changed to N960F/DS. So I did exactly what you did, I flashed the original stock rom, N960N, but now phone will not connect to network. I also did hard reset, reflash other stock roms, nothing changed. Anybody with insight should please give us some pointers.
