No network connection

Ok bought tmo gs2 2 weeks ago off cl, phone worked flawless till 5 days ago. No connection to tmo network. I wiped phone 3xs, called tmo to trouble shoot no help, they send me to tmo store to get a new sim and that doesnt work they check the imei and its clean. I take phone home root and install numerous roms in hope to get network connection but nothing. I install and run gs2 repair app phone reboots and nothing. Called tmo one last time this morning and they said i need to get an exchange but since i didnt purchase phone the og owner must contact for warranty exchange. What else can i do?!?! Help please.

Call Samsung. Your phone might still have manufacturer warranty.

[Q] Avoiding losing IMEI

Hi everyone, i got some questions about the IMEI that i don't know so much about How do people lose their IMEI, get blacklisted and can it be fixed? does it depend how i/they flash things? i have flashed so many things and never losed my IMEI but do i need to worry ?

no need to worry.
it wont walk away
only with a fail during unlocking or rom manager usage on the wrong way will lose your IMEI. no need to worry

How to knoe if my dutch phone is blacklisted ¿
Since imei is correct eyc
But cant call
Says cannot connect to network
And everything is correctly set up
Sent from my i9000 using xda premium

flash back to original dutch rom for your provider(vodafone, kpn, telfort, tmobile)
and try again.
try with different simcard from the same provider so unlocking isnt needed and you can check or it is your sim or phone.

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

what do you mean with backlisted ? couldnt find the dutch word for it
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

In the US T-Mobile is now blacklisting imeis of people that buy their phone on a payment plan and then stop paying. They are also blacklisted occasionally when reported stolen. These phones sometimes make it to online sellers and work for a while then stop because the original owner stopped paying there bill.

unlock sim t999

I have looked all over to find out how to unlock the sim. I cant find anythng that works with the t999. I cant have tmoble do it becouse my account is too new. I am traveling to a area that i need a differnt sim. Can anyone point me in the right direction
Thanks

EBay. They usually have them for around 20 bucks. I don't really trust some of the other third party sites unless someone directly refers me.

Apparently this is working and it's free and a minute and a half to unlock your or any SGS3

Using AT&T sim on blacklisted T-mobile GS III

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz

Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

If I unlock my T-mobile phone, can I keep the T-mobile stock rom or do I need to flash it with the AT&T stock rom?

If you are on stock, why dont you just dial *#197328640# to go to phone control menu, then network lock and turn off the network lock. If you do a google search for unlock galaxy s3 xda forum u ll see it.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer

Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

Why would t-mobile change the meid if its black listed

FYI... Tmobile and att share blacklists... if its blacklisted on Tmobile it won't work on att either

[Q] help with galaxy s4 not registered to network

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!
White T-mobile Galaxy S4 on jellybean, updating it to kitkat though.

Yup, T-Mobile blocked it.. There's no legal way around it, maybe your gf calling T-Mobile to unblock it, but they'll probably charge her full price for the one they sent her.. You could try using a different carrier, but it could end up being blocked again.. You could also sell it to someone in another country, blacklist won't go past the US

To international what? But either way no.. Your service is denied everytime the phone tries to register to T-Mobile because the imei is what's being blocked

international radios, gonna unlock the sim. My gfs mom is probably going out of the country so if i unlocked it, she could use it outside the US right?and if she can i take it as she'd have to use a carrier other than t-mobile to do this though?

You can't use international radios.. And I don't know, but I would think so, using a local carrier should be fine

There are services that will fix this for you. I payed 35$ for my blocked tmobile s4 to be repaired.

I did this with an HTC EVO 3D. It was locked for 2 years so I flashed the phone to a different carrier and it worked. You might have problems with different features but it is posibble to still use the phone. Find a cellular store that will flash it. They normally charge around 50 dollars, give or take.

This happens to me sometimes and what I do is go under mobile networks and
Go to network operators and I let it load and then it registers on the correct network.
