[Q] I need help! please and thank you.

Hi I have a SGH-T989D (telus/koodo) showing Network unknown (emergency calls only).
Bought unlocked phone with 2.3.5 Gingerbreard (telus software) phone is Koodo worked on with Virgin mobile SIM. Updated using Samsung Kies to ICS 4.0.3 after that network status reads Network unknown. My SIM dosen't work, Tried Koodo SIM worked for a sec. then shows network unknown. Tried Rogers SIM asks for Network unlock code. Put in Bell SIM shows same as Virgin SIM network unknown.
I flashed the phone with ICS 4.0.4 Koodo (T989DTLLG2_T989DKDOLG2_T989DTLLG2_HOME.tar.md5) found at sammobile. Phone still reads network unknown.
I am a noob so can anyone help me to get my phone to work as a phone again.
EDIT: Thanks for all the help phone is working

your phone is still network locked, you need to unlock it.
there is an app but it requires that the phone is rooted. It's in google play for $1.99 (i think) galaxy sim unlock.
hit thanks if i helped.

I have the same phone as you... I unlocked mine with the following method here is the post...
oh... and since I unlocked it I have gone from rogers to chatr and to wind mobile... not a problem with lock anymore

Using wind on unlocked N900T, not registered on network

Hi,
I got a N900T from Canadiamgsm.... it's supposed to be unlocked.
I followed the instruction, charged and turn on with my wind canada sim... It does not call because of sim non registered (no service) ...
I tried from mobile network to select wind, but on right top I saw a circle with a bar in the middle... after some attempts with network mode and the way of selection for networks I had the normal bar that shows you've service, but when I try to call sim non registered again.
and a shield is on the left with written prevention information
an application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access the system in your device
I did NOT install anything and I did NOT update android at all, it's on 4.3
Can I check if it's rooted and in case install a custom rom? Would it help or would it back to locked network that is even worse?
Thanks

[Q] Sim Unlocking on 4.4 ROM (SlimKat)

I've got SlimKat up and running on a former AT&T Galaxy S3. None of the sim unlock codes that I've tried have triggered a response and reverting back to the stock ROM sounds like it will probably brick the device.
Suggestions?

In order to unlock the phone by code, you need to be running a stock or stock-based ROM.
What bootloader is on your phone?

Recovery is working fine, but I'm not sure how to get the specifics of the bootloader on this device --
PhilZ Touch: 6.26.6
Clockworkmode v6.0.4.8

Boot into download mode and let us know what it says on the screen.

Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Here's an example of a 4.3 bootloader screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (7 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT: ENABLE
Warranty bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
Yours has no warranty line which leads me to believe you do not have the 4.3 bootloader. As a further test, what is the baseband on the phone? If you have the 4.3 AT&T bootloader, it would probably read MJB somewhere in the baseband version.

Code:
Baseband version
I747UCUEMJ2

Looks like you do not have the 4.3 bootloader which means you can flash a stock rom via Odin. Using Odin will wipe everything off your phone.
If you flash to stock 4.1.1, you can use the free method to permanently unlock your phone. I assume you have phone and data service on the phone with your existing sim?

No data plan or sim card -- wife and I use T-Mobile/MetroPCS and my first step was evaling if I could even get the phone sim unlocked. That's pretty great news. Do you have a DL location of the ROM you're recommending? I found the pure stock 4.1.1 off of Samsung's website.

Here's the stock AT&T 4.1.1: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=9080
Unlocking instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176719

Thank you for all the great suggestions. The rollback to 4.1.1 factory stock was a success; however, I'm having mixed results with the unlocking.
I can't seem to verify that the phone is indeed unlocked after the procedure, as testing out the micro sim from my Nexus yields only this response from the device after reboot:
"Phone note allowed MM#6"
The [1] PERSO SHA256 Info menu within the NETWORK LOCK screen shows "SHA256_ENABLE_FLAG [0]"

Press *#06#? Does it yield the proper imei #?

Yes, the number matches with that printed under the battery, and isn't blacklisted from the resources I've tried

Who is the carrier for the sim card you inserted?

MetroPCS (using the T-Mobile network for the Nexus 5)

Does T-Mobile use the AWS band? If it does, that's the problem as the i747 does not natively support T-Mobile frequencies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344627

Humm - I did come across that thread reviewing the downfall of using the AT&T branded phone on the TMO network, but this is really a matter of speed when 4G isn't available I believe. There should still be some connectivity.
In all honestly I suppose I just don't have a baseline for what should or shouldn't happen when I have this SIM in place - if it's legitimately unlocked or still locked somehow. Any better test or status screen?
EDIT: It would seem that this is a MetroPCS thing, with the IMEI strictly associated with the account: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670213

If you put in a non-AT&T sim and you were not prompted to enter a network unlock code, the phone is unlocked.
I have a Bell s3. When I inserted a non-Bell sim, I was prompted to enter an unlock code. I removed the sim, unlocked the phone using the free method, powered off my phone, inserted my Rogers sim, and I was not prompted for an unlock code. The phone connected to the Rogers network with no intervention on my part.

I think you're right, and based on what I'm reading here Metro is locking a 1:1 account:IMEI --
Only way I'll be able to be certain is to swing by the store and let them eval. I suppose I'll keep this stock until they do their thing.
Thank you so much for your patient help, especially with reviewing the bootloader. I'd call this a success!

We're all here to help. I hope you have good luck on getting the phone to work on your preferred carrier.

I need help on samsung note 4 N910v

My friend brought an original refurbish Samsung N910v android version 5.01 which was working with GSM 2G if not 3G until when I tried to update to new version android v6.0.1. In the menu>setting>about when I checked first before anything it showed me N910 F v5.01 but in boot mode Odin it was N910v.The problem started when I just typed *#9090# the phone immediately started reboot loop. I have managed to unlock the boot loader and root the phone installed custom rom version 6.0.1 by Paul Pizz rom VRU2CPJ2.r-1 but still can not have 2G or 3G GSM network. Please help to revive the phone again whether it meant to go back to 5.0.1 that would work with gsm cause am full stack now.

Have you checked to ensure you have the APN information in place? I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910V now (just got it a few days ago) and when I put my T-Mobile SIM in it from the very first time I have to manually put in the APN data - on custom ROMs it's usually picked up and there automagically but not always so, my suggestion is that you check to make sure your APN information is currently there as it should be.
Settings - More - Cellular networks - Access Point Names - make sure the one you need to be using is selected and if it's not then you'll have to put that info in manually and save it.
As for the actual model number, take the battery out and see what the model number is on the sticker in the battery compartment area - if the sticker isn't there then it could be a device that someone has done some experimenting with because that info can be changed. The sticker should be there, of course, but sometimes people take 'em out when they're mucking around with stuff, who knows.

Initially the phone is from Verizon but was working on 2G ,3G GSM network with N910F firmware version 5.0.1.it was working on airtel network until when I wanted to update. May I have the Apn settings,please

The APN will be your network. Are trying to use Verizon? If so, you should have a spot to tic the VZWINTERNET. If not, then you have a sim card issue.

ziggy the how do i sort out the sim card issue ,Since phone says this sim card is not from verizon

Is the sim from verizon? If you have a good account go to a corporate store and have them give you a new one. It's free.
Also, what are your APN settings and I will compare to mine. Everything works on mine.

the fone I have came from china ,am in Africa and remember I told you it was working woth N910f firmware version 5.0.1.All am asking is there anyway I could make this fone work again on Gsm network, cause all it says after re flash is the card is not from verizon

I now rooted this n910v android version 5.1.1 still no network, am in Africa where there is 2G&3G GSM network, how would I make this fone to work again with the gsm network now that I rooted. On the network bar I get a circle with a cross ,how to make this work

- N910VVRU2CPJ2_FullFirmware_NoAboot<--- Full Framework with no aboot so you will not re-lock bootloader, but will unroot and restore back to 100% stock. once your on the full stock check if your connections are working fine, if they are then install custom rom, otherwise change the sim card

go in settings, connections and select network mode to global, should be fine

Did you set the APN information correctly?
Also are you using the N975U1 firmware or the standard AT&T firmware?
Are you using the BYOD sim card from straight talk?
What have you done over the phone with Straight Talk as far as troubleshooting? - this one can be important. If the phone isn't working with straight talk only it maybe a configuration (apn setting) or provisioning issue.
Are you sure the device is compatible with the area or region your in?
What provider/tower (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) does straight talk have you going through?
More information on what you have done to setup the phone for straight talk, troubleshooting steps you have taken, what information straight talk may have provided (etc. etc.) will help others be able to help you. Providing little or no details makes it rather hard to offer any help.

The apn won't let me put dun in the type I sim unlocked it with a puk code and got strighttalk byop I tried flashing the U1 firmware to it wouldn't take it so I did a Verizon firmware thinking that might help and same thing with the striaght talk it doesn't wanna work i put a Verizon sim in it and it works just like it did on ATT so I'm confused as to why the straight talk sim won't work they can't figure it out on their end either

I factory reset the phone reset network settings did just about everything I could with the phone besides it being funny about the apn cuz it says apn cannot be changed on this device if you put dun in the apn type i dunno the only thing I notice is when the Verizon sim card is in the phone the network mode is set to global whereas with the striaght talk its LTE/CDMA and it won't let you change it to global

Straight Talk uses different mobile providers to offer service different areas.. They utilize Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile (Sprint and T-Mobile have merged recently, but Sprint towers are still active).
I have seen posts across the internet that indicate you should be using the U1 firmware on the phone.. I would make sure your converting the phone to the U1 firmware properly.
If I recall correctly (this is how I did it previously) when flashing the U1 firmware make sure your doing it without the sim card installed and using the non home_csc file. Factory data reset the phone after you successfully flash the U1 firmware and then insert the sim card after setting the phone back up (so it can apply the new sim/network settings).
I would strongly suggest you do not restore a backup during initial setup when you do this. If you restore a backup it may restore previous network settings/configurations that were for what you had previously.
If flashing U1 firmware doesn't help (and since this this is a Straight Talk specific issue) then it's more then likely on the end of Straight Talk. I would call them and make sure that your sim card is the correct one for the cell towers they have you going through and the phone you have. Using an incompatible sim card (or one that is faulty) can cause issues like this. You can also have them send you another sim card to try.
Also contact them to make sure the service is properly provisioned and activated on your phone. Double check the APN with them, and see if they have an alternative one to try. It is also possible that a service outage maybe (or issue with Straight Talk internally) in your area, so I would call them to make sure that neither are not the case here.

The Global setting doesn't really matter in this case and your phone will be set to use the towers that Straight Talk has you going through.
The only thing that I can think of that would be a problem with network mode is if your sim card from straight talk is meant for a different provider then the towers they use in your area (i.e. sim card is for AT&T but the provider they have for the area is Sprint).

the straight Talk sim works in other phones no problem a s8 and a older note im thinking att has something in the software to block other apns i dunno i unlocked it with a PUK code and flashed verizon firmware on it thinking i could get passed it but the verizon sim works 100% and the att sim works 100% too but a straighttalk sim card (verizon) towers the phone tries it shows 4g and disappears and then it shows it has service but cant call it just says emergency calls only

I would not use older phones as a means to say the sim card is good. Besides that's irrelevant to what is going on with the Note 10+

Then this means one of two things... Either you didn't get the phone unlocked or else you did not convert to another carrier (or the U1 firmware XAA region) correctly.
If your using the unlocked firmware (U1 XAA region) then you should be able to edit the APN. If not then you should be able to create one.

That sounds like either the sim card isn't good, the phone was not activated/provisioned properly in there systems (call them and double check IMEI and model information), the phone is not compatible with the service they offer in your area (I suggest using the XAA region U1 firmware in this case) or else your phone is not fully unlocked.
I would also suggest google searching or else asking them for any updated or alternative APN's to try. It maybe very likely the one you have is not suitable for the phone/area... It wouldn't be the first time I have had an issue similar to this like this.
I am opt to believe the first 3 are the most likely scenarios since the phone works on Verzion with the sim card per your indication.

Yeah and the only reason I tried the older phone is to see if the sim card is activate with the number and the phone itself pulled the apn from network when I tried to flash to U1 the phone gave me a error but it took the Verizon firmware for the 975U but its still not working do you know of a good link for the firmware your talking about so I can try that

From personal experience I would advise in the future you don't do that. When you activate the phone you should activate the one you are using and definitely do not use an older phone to activate a newer phone. I have had many problems with this in the past as provisioning for an older phone didn't always work for my newer ones..

I waited for you to give more information on the issue, but you didn't. So I am sorry, but if you don't provide the details of what is going on it makes helping you very difficult. You didn't say what error you are getting, what the firmware version(s) are of what your trying to flash and what is currently on the phone.
Here's the last piece of help I can offer now.
I can tell you that the following can be found on the forum by searching:
Links and how to obtain the firmware - Multiple threads asking the same question exist here. Also Frija, SamFirm, SamMobile are just a few examples of what can be found referenced here.
Bootloader version(s) - what will happen when you try to downgrade and what will happen (along with a important thing) when you upgrade.
Websites to find firmware - SamMobile and some others have been mentioned.
Patched Odin - In case you need the latest version it has been mentioned here already.
I can also tell you that by using Google and searching for SM-975U1 XAA on Sammobile does in fact work.
