[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note II working only on one GSM network - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

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.

[Q] No service after flashing JB binary on SHV-E210S

Hi,
I have upgraded Galaxy SIII released in Korea SKT using Samsung Kies. Model Name is SHV-E210S. I upgraed it with official JB update.
Baseband: E210SKSMB1
Build Number: JZ054K.E210SKSJMB7
IMEI number is proper: 35...............
But it says "No Service" and not displaying/detecting 3G/LTE network. Not possible to make call/messages.
checked network lock status by using: *#7465625#
Network Lock: OFF
Network subset lock: OFF
SP lock: OFF
CP lock: OFF
Whether patch(ARIZAPatch.apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601&page=31 ) works for SHV-E210S as well?
Do I have to flash new ROM for this?
Flashing new ROM will wipe IMEI?
Please help me to get network back in my device? Provide me some links pls.

I had a official Rom 4.4.4 with my samsung korean phone before, i flashed a custom rom then my IMEI-Null, Basband-UNKNOWN, No network. So i try to make it back, i flashed so many patch files according to tutorials on internet. finally my phone bricked i think. i couldnt open even custom recovery. Samsung kies didnt help too, how ever i could open download mode, So i flashed latest korean offical Rom" E210SKSUKNI3_E210SSKTKNI3_E210SKSUKNI3_HOME.tar.md5" using odin. so again i could switch on my phone, then i found my shv-e210s IMEI has changed to new one.my phone back side imei is another one and its original imei. when i insert SIM it show" no service" and network "Unknown" , when i remove SIM it show " limited service" and i can make emgency call simple, and it show some local network providers names, its mean my phone get signals without SIM card and can make emergency calls. Can anyone suggest a method to solve this . if this imei changed by flash files, so it should able to change back to original by anothe file right?
Did you try flashing the most recent stock ROM from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SHV-E210S/ ?

S4 mini not connecting to the cell phone provider?

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

So my question is, can i unlock this phone as it stands? if not could i possible downgrade it from 4.4.2 to 4.1.1 then use above method to unlock?
Thanks for your help guys really appreciate it.

Help unlocking a Note 2 i317M with TELCEL

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:
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-i317M

SM-920P (Sprint unlocked) Can I flash different firmware to use on GSM network

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.
