"Slot has been permanently blocked"

I flashed a custom ROM and the on first screen my device asked to insert the PIN code, then i tried more than two times and it showed "Slot has been permanently blocked". I could't make any phonecalls And when i flashed my stock ROM it works normal.
Do you know how to unlock the SIM slot?
Thank you very much.
Device: Blu vivo IV (Gionne s.5.5) chipset 6598
Custom ROM: Lolifox V6
---------------------------------
If you truly believe the device is stolen or has otherwise been acquired through illegitimate means, we can't help you - you should contact the authorities and have the seller investigated. Stealing is a crime and stolen IMEIs are blocked for that very reason.
If not, first check that the phone supports the network frequencies that your carrier uses wherever you are - not all phones support all bands, and not all carriers support all bands either.
If you can tell us the make and model of the phone, we can point you to a device-specific forum in case it's a general problem or issue with that phone model.
Beyond that, you can try to take up with the manufacturer of the phone or the carrier if it's a carrier-branded phone.
I once had to make numerous called to my carrier's support line because my new imported phone was somehow registered in my carrier's database as a completely different kind of device, so the system kept kicking me off the data plan."

My device was not stolen, i bought it recently, if you guys want i could post the photography of the box.
I live in BRAZIL (BLU IV) and i am trying to install a custom room for a device which's made for INDIA(GIONE s5.5), the device, it self, is the same, what changes its the "software".I saw a video on youtube that someone from USA installed the same custom ROM and didn't get any problem.
I am apologies for this good English sirs.

If you enter the wrong PIN more than three times, the "slot" gets blocked and you can't use your SIM to connect to the network anymore. Newly bought SIM cards come inside one bigger card on which your PUC is written on. For security purposes, SIM cards require this code to be entered if they get locked down.

No service with valid sim card

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very bad issue with my Nexus 5.
Last week, my mobile network stopped working, always displaying "No service".
The sim card was still recognized, since I had to enter my pin code after each reboot.
So I tried to put my sim card in a friend's phone, and it worked perfectly on his.
Next, I called Google tech support to get some information and they simply sent me another Nexus 5 to solve the issue.
The thing is, I'm having the same issue with the new phone, but it's even worse.
The sim card is not recognized at first when I reboot the phone.
After I put it out and in once, it asks me for my pin code. And then, I get the "No service" again.
If I try to make a call it says : "Turn off airplane mode to make a call" (see attached screenshot). I tried to turn it on and off, nothing works.
I must precise that the network worked as a charm with the new phone for 3 days and then nothing.
I tried several sim cards from different service providers, and I get the exact same issue every time. and boot in safe mode but i get the no service again

Here is my configuration :
Android 6.0.1
Security patch level : 1 january. 2016
Baseband version : M8974A-2.0.50.2.28
Build number number : MMB29S
Is anyone having this issue ?
Thanks.

There is a known problem with the N5 where a totally dead battery can kill the radio component. No, it makes no sense to me either, but after it happened to me I did a lot of reading across many forums and discovered I wasn't alone. Flashing half a dozen different ROMs made no difference. Eventually I contacted Google and, as with you, they replaced my N5 with a refurbished model which has worked perfectly ever since.
All I can suggest is that you report the second phone to Google and hope that they will replace it again.

IMEI not showing in MTK Droid Tool & IMEI/NVRAM option not available

Hello people,
I have a Gionee P5W (informations in screenshot).
Last time, my smartphone's board (chip) got damaged and I replaced it with a new one.
Before, there was network ( SIM signal) in my device but after I changed chip, there is no network but sim card is detected.
I mean, sim card is detected but doesn't give network at all.
I at least know that it is not location or network provider's fault because it was working perfectly fine before.
So, I searched through the internet and was suggested to change IMEI, but before, I wanted to check details with MTK Droid Tools.
But when I opened MTK Droid Tools, my IMEI was not shown and IMEI/NVRAM option was not available. Maybe, it was the problem for no network because IMEI plays a vital role in network of device.

We do not support the changing of imei on xda. It is illegal in most countries and is not approved discussion here

I know that the main point is not changing IMEI.
My phone detects SIM Card but always says no service
So, I researched quite a bit and found that IMEI has some connection with it
That's my only reason
If you know, you can help me, I would appreciate that.

I have tried my sim card in other phones and there does the sim card works.
I have tried factory reset and wiped all my data. It still doesn't work. I've both tried EU rom + Global rom.
You guys think it's a hardware error?
I'm from the Netherlands btw. Using Tele2 as provider.
Thanks in advance

Exactly same issue as me ! Have you tried removing your PIN with another phone.
On top of this , I have network disconnect every 10sec , the phone is not useable
Please try to remove the PIN with another phone and let me know
( My phone also used to work flawlessly for 2/3 weeks and it happened suddenly )

Yeah I've tried that. Unfortunatly the same issue. It's really frustrating. The phone itself is perfect only it isn't useable right now... Don't know what to do atm.

I suspect hardware issue .... can't see why a software would do that and SIM related issues ...........
I've tried every possible ROM , every possible format , reinstall , flash etc........
TradingShenzhen asked me to ship the phone back to a guy in Germany. Lets see how it turns out

Data drops during calls

Hey guys, I have a SM-N986U1... Stock no root. I'm having a problem where my data drops out as soon as I make or receive a call, until I end it. Any solutions?

Enable VoLTE if not yet.

Clear system cache
Network reset
Clear sim card toolkit data
See if those get it...

Option doesn't seem to be available... At least, I don't see it in settings or drop down menu.

Thanks... Giving that a try.
EDIT: didn't work. Guess I will try a backup and do a full wipe. If that fails, I'll go to the Authorized Samsung Repair place here and see if it is a hardware issue.

Volte ,has to be enabled by your sim service provider !
That said, obviously your service provider ,must support this feature . ?
I had to phone my service provider and request them to enable Volte ( in my sim card settings ).
Take into account that if you have a branded firmware on your device ,that the firmware has to support Volte .
I had issues in the past ) with Volte been "disabled " /not working ,
( Service provider issues/mistakes )
I then had to contact my service provider and request then again to check my sim settings and re enable Volte again .
Bottom line ,
Service Provider "controls "the enabling etc of Volte ..!(sim card )
So yes , with Volte enabled ,my data connection does not drop when receiving voice calls
( otherwise it should drop )
good luck .
