Hey everyone i bought this S4 mini from kijiji and it was locked to a Canadian carrier virgin mobile. So i got it unlocked (by buying an unlock code) and i am trying to use chatr (cell phone carrier) here in Canada. When i go into search for mobile networks it does show me "chatr" and it does say registered on network but i am not able to make any calls because its always on "Emergency calls only". I have tried all the settings and i have also factory resetted the phone but still no luck. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the sim card as it works n the other phone. Also sim slot seems to be fine as well since it was asking for the unlock code. Please let me know if i need to flash the phone or what can i do to it to make it work. Sorry i am not that tech savvy. Heres the video i made of the stuff i just explained: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayCjJk8wY4Y

Hey boys ans girls.
I jsut installed a ROM here for the N-7100 and it obviously didn't work because I have the SGH-I317M version for Canada.
I'm glad to see that this morning I could get a ROM that would work with the AT&T version, so that means it could get back on track my note II. Unfortunatly I keep having the same issue which is everytime I try to access the mobile networks tab I get the "Insert SIM card" message.
I thought it might be the sim card itself that was defective but I just went at Bell get a fresh one.. same problem.
Right now:
Model #: SAMSUNG-SGH-I317
Banseband version: Unkwown
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-215287 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT thu Oct 4 16:14:05 KST 2012

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
PS:I also tried different modem and to adjsut the APN settings, but same story repeated, can't access mobile networks because of the "insert sim card" message.
Thank you!
Problem solved, need a proper Banseband, I tried the one made for Roger, even if I'm with Bell. It worked.
Thx to me
Hello, This is my first ever post on this website. Please bear with me if it's too long or confusing.
I have a Galaxy Note II I317. It's basically an AT&T phone but when I insert SIM from another carrier (e.g. H2O) it doesn't ask me for an unlock code. Moreover, I have an unlock code from AT&T as well.
The phone shows full signal strength for the mobile carrier. However, I'm unable to send sms or make a phone call. Whenever I try to place a call, it says "emergency calls only". I tried this in USA and now I'm in Pakistan.
Here, I encountered the same problem. We have five major networks here in Pakistan. Ufone, Zong, Telenor, Mobilink and Warid. I tried with Ufone, Warid and Telenor. The phone works OK with Telenor but experienced the above problem with Warid and Ufone. I have rooted the phone, downgraded to 4.1.1. and then back to 4.4.2. However, nothing seems to work. Mobile repair shops are also of no help. If anyone has any idea, I will really appreciate this.

Hi,
You can try this thread, and ask about it here if you wish,

Good luck!
I have tried this method but I don't get the option "now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ".
I looked around on internet for this problem and found that this methods works with 4.1.1 and below. Moreover, this is for mobiles which ask for an unlock code. My Galaxy Note II doesn't ask for an unlock code.
I will have your thread moved then to your device section, so the experts who own your device can help.

My phone is Unlocked. and rooted.
I have straighttalk service and i ported my number to this device, I have tried using an AT&T SIM card and a T-Mobile SIM card both provided by straight talk. Neither one of them get service what so ever. My old phone gets full bars. (My old phone is Straight Talk throu Verizon CDMA)
Now My question is:
Does the Note2 not work because my ported number is comming from Verizon CDMA?
and If i buy an activation card and create a completely new account on the Note. Will it work?
My service ends on 2/10/2015 8 Days away. And i need to know if a new account with work or should i just change to a different prepaid provider.
Thanks Guys
anyone?
APNs are set wrong maybe? If you search APN you may find ideas. I have never manually set them myself.
Have you tried any other ROMs? Some have different APN settings that might work.

Dear members of the XDA Forum:
I have looked in the other suggestions by the XDA forum and I haven´t been able to find a case similar to mine. Thus I post my case:
I have a Note2 i317M (LTE) that is locked with TELCEL (Mexico). Since I came to Sweden I needed to be able to unlock it for an swedish SIM card. I did requested a code to cellphone unlock using my IMEI, but after months of wait due to SMASUNG servers being down, I got a reply that it was not possible to get a code.
Then I tried to unlock the phone myself. Therefore I rooted, installed the DN4 ROM hoping to have an unlocked Modem, but when I inserted another SIM card it request an unlock code. Then I tried installing the DN3 without and with a full wipe (in my second attempt) without success (still got an unlock code requested). After this I tried the *# method but when I finish input the last # nothing happens. Then I tried to flash a Rogers modem and now I have it like this, but still requires unlock code and the *# still doesn´t work. Other modems (MJ9 and Telcel´s ML2) make me loose my IMEI and STILL requires unlock code. The phone is still unlocked and it sucks in a country where everybody has 4G . Can anybody help me? Would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance. The phone specs are as follows:

or just go with imei code for 39 euro from simlock eu site.
I used popular site for many of my and my friends phones.
I need to know if I can flash this phone to run some other firmware allowing me to use my phone with GSM. I want to use it on StraightTalk but so far they claim my phone isn't able to be used with the bring your own phone, here are the phones spec's
Samsung Galaxy S6
Model Number: SM-920P (Sprint, unlocked)
software version: G920PVPS4CPJ1
Hardware version: G920P.02
Android version: 6.0.1
Android security patch level: october 1 2016
Build number: MMB29K.G920PVPS4CPJ1
Sprint won't let me use the phone on their network because it has been unlocked and they wont re-lock it to their network. So I am trying to get it to work on the Straight Talk network, I think it's my only option. I have a ATT sim card activated and working right now that fits into the S6 but it wont make phone calls, but will work in my other Straight Talk phone. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
