[Q] "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a r800a phone that is supposedly both rooted and unlocked (2.3.3). It appears to work with AT&T, but fails to work with my provider... T-Mobile. There appears to be no place to enter a PIN code as well to unlock the phone. The app superuser is on the phone, so that is why I believe it may be unlocked. When I insert my SIM card (or any other T-Mobile SIM card), it senses that one is plugged in, but fails to connect to the server when I search for networks. I have created a new APN designed for T-Mobile US, but that has not helped. I have the network mode set at GSM only. I also receive a yellow warning sign that states: "no service selected network (t-mobile) unavailable". Does anyone have any suggestions? Besides the obvious take out the battery or turn on and off the airplane mode of course.

It seems your phone is rooted, but not SIM unlocked. You have to talk to somebody on this forum named Alejandrissimo if I am not mistaken. He can do it for you real quick. Though, this information is just what I have gathered from creeping these threads so if I am wrong, don't hold me to it!

Yes i can unlock it, also check if you model is R800at instead a or i
If yes then is an Xplay 4g locked to att, I just answered you email

I think I am having the same problem. I am on rogers. Is there any chance you could help me out with this?
Again... my SIM works in other phones. Other SIMs don't work in my phone.
I get the message "Your SIM does not allow a connection to this network"
Thanks

Not to sound silly but did you guys insert the Sim card correctly? I inserted it with the corner piece down into the phone. It gave me the same error... Despite saying it was connected to T-Mobile.

Search the forums and google for what is called "trim area" (TA) because At&t and T-Mobile have a few different frequencies they use, the device might not be seeing the T-Mobile ones. I had the same problem a while back, there are some TA flashing programs online through websites or you can contact a user name Alejandrissimo through his Xperia Unlocker website, he can flash a TA file from another R800A that is functioning on T-mobile, he has many TA files for R800A / R800AT that work on T-Mobile which he backed up from users.

Hey 216, I know you had issues with your PLAY on Tmo, however when I got my unlocked ATT model it worked without a hitch on Tmo's network. When I PMd you all those months ago about not connecting it was because I had inserted the sim backwards.. hence my comment above. Yes.... idiot move but if this is the case here then I hope it helps.. if not... its a good laugh. :laugh:

[Q] New T989 never receive unlock message

I have a new T989 I bought without a contract. I have a Simple Mobile sim card. I have rooted and installed Juggernaut Rom. Before I rooted and now no changes in the fact when I install any sim I get no message of invalid or a place to enter unlock code.I know SM is suppose to work without unlock. But I havent been able to get SM to work at all. Do i need to flash another rom, because it seems that Im locked into Tmobile so far. Any help much appreciated!

Which .apn are you using? are calls working with the exception of data and mms?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I have not changed the .APN. Nothing is working , there is a circle with a line through it in top status bar. Just get " mobile network not available" Im lost at how others have used Simple Mobile sims with nothing extra but to configure the mms/internet.
simple mobile is tmobile, you can use a tmo phone without unlocking with a simple mobile sim, i still have my simple mobile sim from when i used it on my vibrant, and i was able to make a call from my sgs2 without unlocking, so i might be wrong but you should try with an at&t sim, the apn settings for simple are on their site also.
Weird, I'm experiencing the same issue.
I believe the Simple Mobile SIM card is fine, because it works in /other/ (non-smart) phones such as my T-Mobile branded Motorola V195 and Nokia 6030 - I can place and receive calls and text messages.
But the Samsung Galaxy S II T989 is always stuck on "Searching" on the lock screen, and Settings: Wireless and network: Mobile networks: Network operators: Search now: only turns up "T-Mobile" and "AT&T" under Available Networks, both of which say "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" when I tap on them.
Oh yes, and I did program the Access Point Names (APNs) as per Simple Mobile's instructions, twice.
Both with the stock ROM, and with Juggernaut-v4.1 (as it so happens). Baseband version T989UVKL1.
I'll try and find someone with a working T-Mobile SIM card, test that in the phone tomorrow, and report back.
Sim is prolly bad I had same issue when I first put my sim in try another simple sim, maybe sticking it in non smart phones Burns something cus that's exactly how it went down for me:/ when i was using an older phone as a temp, then bought the sg2 and didn't work try using ur sim on another smart phone if it doesn't read it it's toast like mine was

I tested a coworker's T-Mobile SIM card in the phone and had exactly the same problems (no network/unable to find network - just AT&T and T-Mobile), whereas my coworker was able to use my SIMPLE Mobile SIM card in their phone successfully.
I flashed my baseband from to T989UVKID *, and the behavior is the same - still saying that it's not registered, and still only shows AT&T and T-Mobile when I search for networks. Co-worker's SIM card still doesn't allow me to connect to T-Mobile, either.
I'm starting to think the IMEI for this phone might have been reported stolen, and maybe it's being blocked externally (I did buy it from a pawn shop eBay seller - albeit one with good feedback). Hopefully T-Mobile can tell me if I call them up.
*-Well, I loaded the zipfile from topic "1426001 - [RADIOS] CWM Flashable Modems" onto my sdcard and applied update from zip, and Settings: About phone says "Baseband version T989UVKID" now.

Ya sounds like that. You know what my brother had a vibrant brand new from someone on cragslist and then several months later his gave same problem. He was on Simple Mobile. He called t Mobile and believe it or not said they don't black list phones and say it is not possible for them to do so. It was different reps too that said the same thing. I don't know. Maybe true?

IMEI blacklisted
I just borrowed the SIM card from a coworker's AT&T phone. I had to unlock my Galaxy, but I'd purchased an unlock code a few days ago before I realized that the problem wasn't a SIM lock.
Sure enough, the phone works fine on AT&T's network. 2187 kbps down, 436 kbps up, 105ms ping (in my area).
It's definitely the carrier blocking my phone. Now to see if I can return it. Hey, it will work on the AT&T network now, or maybe the seller can catch the person that sold them the phone.
P.S. Judging by the threads on support.t-mobile.com, Support L1 doesn't have access to or know about the IMEI blocks, but L2 does. Case in point:
support.t-mobile.com/thread/15348
Incidentally, I don't feel that it's T-Mobile's fault that I got a blacklisted phone, although I would like it if they *published* their IMEI blacklists. In Australia, you can punch in an IMEI code and see if it's blacklisted.

Unlocking it will allow you to use different networks. Eg. If you got a phone off at&t but want to use verizon network then unlock the phone and you can use verizon and at&t

First you need a sim from another network provider. Once you have it put it in then enter the pin you got given. Its now unlocked. Lastly some networks do work with others so to check if you have an unlocked network already go into call settings and network service (may be called something different on your phone depending on current network) unlocked networks appear with a home sign/any sign that isnt a red cross (again depending on network) or go to a place that unlocks phones.

The process seems simple enough, but from where would I obtain the PIN? I know there are various websites and whatnot, but is there one that people have used in the past with success? I just want to be sure, because I'm looking at buying a used Galaxy W, but don't want to be stuck with it locked on Bell..

The pin will come on the paper the sim comes with. If you buy it off a contract it will be unlocked for you as long as you only use the network providers sim that you got the contract off.

Alright, I got my Rogers SIM card last year, but I don't know where any of the packaging currently resides. But if I call rogers, they should be able to provide me with this information?
Sorry, it just seems counter intuitive that information with my sim card would unlock a newer, off carrier phone.

You might (only might) get the pin off them. There should be a default pin set for every sim at the start. All sims coming from the same mobile network provider have one pin.

[Q] Phone not reading sim card. Fixes??

Hi all, so my friend got this phone from amazon. The seller said it only works with Vodafone sim so he got one. The sim works fine but the phone wont bloody use it... Calls end before starting and when I try to access calls settings it says there is something wrong with your simcard. The sim card was tested with other phones and works just fine. Any suggestions of how to fix? Currently running android 2.3.2 with 2.6.32.9-perf kernel. Vodafone guy didn't know what was wrong with the phone since nothing was wrong on servers...
Any help is welcome thanks

I thought R800i model is unlocked. Is the phone carrier branded, maybe it needs to be sim unlocked. If it is unlocked, can you try a sim from another carrier.

It isn't possible because you can't put a sim card in the phone since it has no slot for it. also it is cdma and the other sim card play models are gsm. the r800x was built to stay on verizon wireless.

Thats a negative ghost rider!
It's CDMA. CDMA cannot be SIM-Unlocked/Network-Unlocked which you are looking for due to hardware limitations (as in the SIM slot being disabled).
I had an idea that 216monster was supposed to try, but I don't know if he eventually got around to it.
EDIT: Of course, that is only for GSM networks. I don't know about the process of going from a CDMA network to another CDMA network.

Ok, yes the r800x (Verizon xperia play) can change carriers. But the carrier has to also work on a CDMA network. If it doesn't the phone wont work end of story. If the carrier is CDMA you will need to look up how to flash the phone to operate on there network. Some carriers will do this for you but MOST wont. Infact MOST will tell you you cant do it. From what I have read yes you will need to unlock your bootloader to change carriers.
Get the idea of a sim card out of your head now. The sim card slot is as real as the hidden hdmi port. IT DOESN'T EXIST! Unless you have one of the bata models which wouldn't be possible since there GSM phones.

It may have the slot, but SIM cards won't work in it. GSM and CDMA are two different technologies. CDMA does not use SIM, and CDMA phones cannot use SIM cards. If you stuck a SIM in that tray, it wouldn't work.

Never said it would work. He was denying there is a sim card slot in the R800x (CDMA model). Hardware wise, it is disabled, but it's there physically.
I have one from Bluegrass Cellular. Does firmware for Verizon R800x will work (also, unlocked bootloader needed for ROM rom that I want)?

Sprint Note 4 weird when I put in a AT&T SIM Card. Help!

The sim inside the sprint note 4 is only to access the LTE network. So since you took the sprint sim out, you would be only receiving 3g. That is why you are receiving the invalid sim card error, because its not using it.

There's been plenty of discussion in this forum about bringing SM-N910P to other networks. I'm no expert, haven't done it myself but what I read repeatedly posted is that radios in this version did not allow LTE on domestic carriers when unlocked. Seems a common issue with phones made for CDMA carriers; taking them to another carrier may not meet your expectations. If the limitations are acceptable, maybe you consider going ahead and weigh your options.
Again, there's plenty of threads in this forum discussing this but here's one that I found that may help. To me, it's been rare for @idone to post these days but he posted here.

Did you find your answer? Or still asking?
It's likely Sprint will give you a MSL number but not unlock the phone to use on domestic carriers. I think you still need to unlock it for that purpose. But the developer I referred you to can do this with or without the MSL. His tools are capable; his service is a full unlock for domestic. I don't think you need the unlock for carriers outside the U.S. the way the phone is currently. Sprint may clear a phone for domestic carrier use but not unlock it or help you activate it. You'll likely find no carrier to help you unlock it either.
I'm sure there are ways to do it yourself but it's gotten more complex with Lollipop and Marshmallow. I'm just not sure how it's done because I haven't fully done it. Only walked through it partially back in KitKat but kept Sprint SIM and service. Didn't try another SIM card.

Sprint gave me the MSL code to be given to a GSM carrier but I call BS on that. Strange thing is the damn phone recognizes the AT&T SIM card as a 3G card all right but still says "Invalid SIM Card".

No expert here, but dont you need an AT&T SIM card that has your phone unique ID info programmed into it so it registers on AT&Ts network?
I thought the MSL would just unlock an area in the phone where you would change DNS type info to AT&T's towers/network.
