Remove your IMEI number from public eye.
As for the problem call network operators to say why isnt working on their network.

Hi terry1256
I'd suggest flashing a new rom as most non stock roms are unlocked. Or search xda for info on unlocking your phone and follow it. Just be patient and stay calm and you'll get it sorted mate.

If it isn't anything software related and you said different sim cards do not work... perhaps your sim card tray is damaged?
After flashing a new rom or new radio, it takes a while for mine to register again on the network. Maybe give it some time?

Hey guys, I restarted my phone today and have no service. Checked imei with att rep and shows unknown. Took the battery out and all that and still shows unknown and no service. It is not rooted, nothing is changed. Just stock phone I've been using since Monday.
Any ideas?
Edit: Okay so after talking to the rep he was no help. Telling my SIM card is the issue. I did a factory reset and I'm working again.

Whoa, I haven't had the Note 5 for almost two years now, so I'm not sure of how much help I can be. What does your current baseband and IMEI field show? Do they show as Unknown?
Hey Everyone,
I have been going through hell troubleshooting this fone for a week now. I would like to have this thread to keep a log of what has been going on. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Back story
Got phone from eBay. I know, I know. It is a prototype etched with "Not For Sale CB5XXXXXXX" on the front of the bezel (numbers hidden for privacy). The phone is in immaculate condition with a perfect screen and absolutely zero scratches. It appears to be used very little. It had a screen protector installed so perfectly that it wasn't even noticed by the seller. Also, it came with a white back cover but the bezel is blue. All these facts leave me with some questions.
The sticker under the battery reads:
Sony Ericsson
MoP 1251.18 11W19
Type: AAD - 388087 - BV AA CB5
Prototype not for sale S1 1251-5447.18
Not Type approved Prototype build: TP Blue AT&T
There are 2 bar codes and S/N and some other numbers and Made in China after that.
(If any of the above number should be kept private please let me know and I will remove them.)
More Back Story
Phone works 100% stock with my T-Mobile SIM card. I can get into fastboot fine. I can successfully flash superuser to get root on the stock ROM. I can then flash kernels too. I verified that it is unlocked with the Sony unlock code.
Here is where it gets good.
When I flash ROMS, all hell breaks loose. Gin2Jelly worked great! I had partitioned my SD card and loaded all my apps with Titanium Backup and was about to use it as a daily driver..... until I inserted the SIM. No service. SIM works fine in other phones.
Then I started trying other ROMS. The would flash okay. After booting and waiting the prescribed 10 mins as usual for all ROMs multiple issues arose. No icons, H/W buttons not functioning, etc.
This is where I am at. What could be going wrong?
Set your apn settings manually for tmobile.

Hmmm.... I forgot to mention one other issue. On Gin2Jelly, I tried that and was unable to set them at all. They wouldn't save. I was so frustrated. If I set the Name, APN, MMSC and backed out without saving the new APN would show up in the list. Once I set the MCC and MNC, and either saved or backed out, the new APN disappeared.
The SIM card simply would not be recognized. I even tried an app called Tweakker APN INTERNET MMS that is supposed to help with this glitch and no go.
Thanks for the reply. I wish it was that simple.
SUNDAY BUMP!
Bueler??
Just tried Turbo Gamer Edition. NO SERVICE!!!! I guess I'm not going to get this phone working. The ROM loads fully but I cant enter any APN settings. They won't save. Tweakker East Internet and MMS app not detecting SIM card either. This effin blows.

R800a_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.ftf is the only FTF that seems to work 100%. Is this the right version my my model?
Hi too have the same prototype model etching on the bottom below the key buttons withe same marking underneath the battery. I am running it on tmobile in the USA without issues. When I received this phone it was bootloader unlocked however mine was sim locked. Had to get in touch with alejandrissimo to get sim unlocked.

Question - Would your T-Mobile SIM work on the stock ROM? Mine seems to function fine once I enter the APK settings. I thought that if it is SIM Locked that I wouldn't be able to use my T-Mo SIM on stock ROM.

Ay one point I had the at&t firmware Nd it worked fine. However I am in nxt l.e. and it works great. And in my area I get hspa+ (5-7mbps down/ 1-3mbps up)
I had to look up the T-Mobile apn settings. Just install the app tweaker from the Google play store. Its automatic, make sure your on wifi. It will look up the correct apn settings for tmpbile USA or whatever/wherever and install. No issues after that.

My SIM won't work in other ROMs so it won't let me set APN settings. I've tried that app as well. The app only works if it can detect a SIM card. The phone won't even detect a SIM card unless I am on FTF R800a_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.ftf. This is my main issue. Does this mean I am SIM locked?

READ the OP please
So here is a run-down of what I just did.
1. Flashed R800a_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.ftf via Flashtool in Quickboot mode
2. Booted into stock ROM and inserted SIM card and was able to browse and make calls.
3. Entered bootable recovery wih Quckboot
4. Flashed Lupus 720p
5. Booted into stock ROM and was still able to call and browse
6. Made a NANDroid backup
7. Wiped Cache/Dalvik
8. Installed Gin2Jellybean 2.4.0 from Lupus CWM
9. Booted, waited 10, rebooted
10. SIM not detected. Unable to enter APN settings. Tweakker APN app says "Your SIM card cannot be used. Please make sure your SIM card is inserted and you are in an area with GSM signal and then restart the process..."
I don't understand how my SIM can work in OEM ROM but can't in all other ROMs.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I try another FTF?

Gotcha. My bad. I been troubleshooting this for like 2 weeks. Not really sure, LOL!
So,
I hooked up with Alejandrissimo who was able to properly unlock my phone. He said that it was unlocked previously with some copycat tool rather than the one he used. The copycat tools touch the hardware side of the device and the original tool doesn't. This prevented the usual method of unlocking and more steps were needed. This test involved the "Testpoint" method. This required me to remove the sticker under the battery and use a paper clip ( I also tried a small wire but the paper clip worked best) to short one contact to a ground spot for the battery while plugging the USB in and then clicking a button on the tool on my screen. All the while, Alejandrissimo was remoted into my PC and helping me along the way. This is almost necessary because both of your hands are tied up with the paper clip and USB plug. It was intense, LOL. Of course I donated to him for his time.
I am still testing. It seems to be randomly rebooting after R800a_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf, / LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv5 / Gin2JellyBean v2.4.0.
UPDATE After flashing a stable firmware, LuPuS_zeus_GingerBreadv10-ram.img, and Gin2Jelly, sadly my SIM card is still not detected yet worked in the ROM on the phone after the process was done.

Any of those will work on your R800at , I flashed [.79] without problems. I have flashed them all in the past and I have used my device on T-Mobile and AT&T. Also don't worry about the whole R800a and R800at thing, they are basically the same phone, both capable of HSPA+ just released in different regions of the world. Which is why all of those firmwares will work on your phone. The [.270] is not the most current ATT firmware though, [.285] is.
Also you should note, that flashing a stock firmware is only for setting partition sizes and the baseband, after you flash a custom kernel and rom, most of the stock firmware you flashed in the FTF is gone. It is just good practice to flash a stock firmware and also gives you a clean install to easily troubleshoot from.
Per your OP though, I can tell you that booting up after flashing something and having no icons and hardware buttons not working is a wrong firmware problem, whether it be the FTF or the Rom you flashed.
I do know that every Gsm firmware has booted on my R800at without problems, which makes me wonder if some of your problems could be due to the fact your R800at was only a prototype and its hard to say what was modified for the actual release compared to yours and even compared to ozzmanj's

His prototype sounds like mine (see photos) I have flashed several ROMS before settling on NXT LE. And I had no issues with any of them. Again though I did have to hit up Alejandrissimo to sim unlock it as my bootloader was unlocked when I got it. Only difference was mine was the standard black and no AT&T branding.
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, the reason i've joined is that my Galaxy Note II has a major problem with it...
Early august I rooted it, but then put it back to it's original ROM, it was working fine for a week or so, and then it wouldn't make any calls.
I can access 3g, used a different SIM card Three and it does the same thing. I've rebooted it from scratch about 4/5 times.
Today I found it in my drawer and wanted to try it again, I put my SIM card in and the same thing still happens.
Any suggestions?7

AP: N7100XXDME6
CP: N710XXDMF1
CSC N7100XXDMF1
My screen is cracked at the top left corner of the phone, at first I thought I might have broken the aerial, but then how would my 3g work?
Thanks!
So what happens when you try to make call? Does it say not registered on network, give a different error message or something?

It says "not registered on a network"
Thanks.
What about your IMEI ? Most probably it will be fine as you still able to use 3G. In certain when IMEI is correct and you are unable to make Call, possibilities are
1.Device get banned due to tempered IMEI (usually happens if you have purchased old and may be stolen)
2.Network locked.
Talk to your operator about these.

Hi Thanks for the reply,
I did buy it from the market, it can't be locked as it doesn't work on a different carrier so I don't know why that would be?
Can you change the IMEI number on the device at all???

Best not to ask this question.
Changing the ID of a phone IS ILLEGAL.
Dr.ketan is the expert but, as long as your phone is not blocked. whenever I get that error, I simply go into settings do a network search and then re register on my network. I presume you've tried that already?

I put my sim card in (im overseas, so its an international simcard) and the phone recognized my sims network. Well, next I tried making a phone call and thats where I found the problem, the phone simply wont make or receive a call. It tries to, but it hangs up. Sms also doesnt work. Wifi is fine. Everything else is fine. The phone is baseband version VUAMDL. I already flashed the same modem with odin to no avail. Does anyone have a suggetion of what to try next? Thanks a lot!

I ordered an unlock code from a site and successfully unlocked it and it worked all last night perfectly with calls and txt. (weird cause its a wind phone and im on wind) Today Iwoke up to data working and emergency calls only again. I checked with another sim and the phone was carrier locked again. only this time putting in the unlock code didn't fix it. It unlocked it again but no service for calls or txt. so the phone can work it has to be something screwing up. so frustrating
