Have you purchased it new?
Have you purchased device unlocked?
Try network unlock (find toolbox in my signature)
Ask your operator if your IMEI is banned
One possibility is physically damage sim card adopter.

no , not branded
the phone came with GB "I8160JPLD6_I8160OJPLD2." so, i looked for JB so i downloaded TMN " I8160XXMC8_I8160TMNMC3_TMN"And Flashed it using odin
after that rooted the device until this point no sim card inserted yet , then my friend took the phone
and inserted the sim card ,then the phone started to ask for pin number he entered the right pin #
for more than 5 time , so i downgraded the phone to gb ,but every time u put sim card in it
ask for "network control key "

If you can find a simcard that will work with the phone, then sell the phone - probably best to cut your losses

Big problem, UNKNOWN BASEBAND error after flashing modem.

Hello guys,
I have this problem, i got a note 2 from a carrier in argentina called "personal" wanted to sim unlock it so i followed the easy way
of the hidden menu " network lock " and that tutorial.. ( cant post links yet )
But it did not work cause i had 4.1.2 , so i got 4.1.1 also did not work, so i read you need VALK8 baseband to sim unlock it.
Got the VALK8 zip file, rooted note 2, installed custom recovery, installed the .zip file . and got a UNKNOWN BASEBAND djaskdsjakdasjd!
How can i fix this? need the VALK8 to get to the menu sim unlock it and then flash 4.1.2 again
Thanks a lot i hope you understand this !

Ok i installed a 4.1.1 and now i have the baseband restored to DXALJ1 i think it is asian dunno.
How can i SIM unlock this and then put 4.1.2 on it?
thanks i will really appreciate it!
First of all, what model you have?
Im assume you have carrier lock model,
1)Root your phone.
2)go google play download either *galaxsim unlock* or galaxy_s unlock.
Follow the instruction as given, then you will be fine.
If I were you I will download the old time 4.1.2 stock rom such as mb2. Since you might not aware of the new samsung stability update will messing up your imei and modem.

[Q] No sim card inserted problem

Hi everyone!
I just got a T-mobile sgh-m919 from USA.
But when i tried to insert my own local sim card (not t-mobile and not american also) , the device just can't able to read the sim itself.
It doesn't give me some code to insert and things like that and i also tried to follow a orders to unlock or something like that but its still wont work.
I know that the problem is not at the sim utself because I got also google edition device that works with this sim normally.
I dont have a problem to install rom and root my phone if needed and also if i have to pay few dollars to open it is cool but i really have no idea what sould i do...
so if anyone knows... please let me know!
Thanks! :laugh::laugh:
Make sure the sim card slot is clean, and is the sim an original micro or a cut micro?

There is a way to bypass it as long as the device never took the 4.4.2 official update.. Do a little search in the general or development forum and you will find your answer! Its an app called region unlock

I did it! it just needed to change from LTE to GSM
But .. the error of the unknown sim still there... what can I do?
and i read a little bit here and saw that i can't install custom roms on this device with CWM (I got the mk2 build)
so.. this safestrap is the only way? kind of scary yo me.. not as simple as other phones.....
And anothe Q... in the T-mobile device, ( android 4.2.2) I dont have those problems? in this device i can install CWM? I'm already got root on this device but it didn't install the CWM i think...
Thanks!!!
Is the network on the Verizon phone set to global? If so and you're using an original micro sim then you might have better luck in the Verizon forums.. As for the T-Mobile device, yes you can install custom recovery, it's not locked down like the Verizon model

Note 2 N7100GSMH not registering on network.

I have had the note 2 for about 2 to 3 years and its been working fine I have a S4 too,I swap between phones so sometimes I use the S4 and sometime the Note 2,I was using my S4 for about 6 months and decided to use my Note 2 for a change and put my sim in and turned it on and it would say there is no sim in the phone ,looking at the settings it had no Baseband and no IMEI ,showing as Unknown ,it was on CFW DN4 and was working fine 6 months ago.so I downloaded a ROM from the SamMoblie website for O2UK cos I am with Sky Mobile and they use there network and didn't see why it wouldn't work.
Anyway.
I flashed the ROM with Odin 3.07 and now it recognize the sim but thinks it on O2UK ,it has a baseband now but the IMEI is the wrong number,and it will not registered on the Sky Network,if you go to More Networks in Settings you can see Sky in the list but will not register on there network.(Can't connect to network,try later)
Any ideas why the IMEI has changed,it not the same as the sticker under the battery..?

Hi,
It looks like your EFS partition either got corrupted, formatted, or simply did not mount. The reason you cannot connect to the network is because you're not allowed to. You NEED IMEI because it is used to identify your device. Flashing stock rom wont help you. If you have a backup, go ahead and flash it via recovery. If not, try this link: http://www.androwide.com/2015/07/recover-lost-imei-number-of-android.html
(Insert the exact IMEI that you have on the box/under the battery. It is illegal to fake your IMEI in a majority of countries.)
Regards
Can't do any of what it says on the page cos its for a MTK chip,MediaTek,Galaxy Note 2 N7100 don't have that chip.
Have you tried flashing other stock ROMs? Does the imei start with 0049...?

Yes it dose 0049... going to try and fix it with BST dongle,I have flashed original firmware on it now,its 4.4.2,It did have RESURRECTION REMIX on it but can't remember the version maybe the one with Android 5.1.1,then when I put my sim in it to use it after 6 months It would't read the sim,like it was not there and had Baseband Unknown on it..very weird,flashed original firmware on it then it was able to read my sim but then had the 0049... IMEI...??
Hopefully I can fix it with BST dongle,just waiting for the updated version of the BST PCB Adapter V1.1 to be delivered,coming from China.
Looks like the folder containing the IMEI has been corrupted.
Good luck with the cable.
It worked,BST fixed it by puting the IMEI back on the phone,I had to type it in,now it connecting to the network,wow,the best thing I have brought in a long time.. so all fixed.
oh and BST works fine on Windows 10 too.
So Now I have backed up its EFS file and can put custom roms on it without worrying about losing my network,at the moment it has original firmware on it 4.4.2.No plan of puting a Custom ROM on it at the moment,just glad I can use the phone again.
Website: http://www.gsmbest.com/en/ShowProduct.asp?Id=4
I got it from eBay and had to buy a new BST PCB Adapter so it was compatible with 4.4.2 cos the UART cable didn't work ,now it does with v1.2 of the PCB Adapter,I got thats from AliExpress.

Hope this helps someone.
sorry repeated post.
