Hi,
I recently bought a second hand smartphone Galaxy S4 GT-9505 which according to IMEI info was first delivered on 2013 r. and uses a Qualcom Snapdragon 600 APQ 8064T chipset and is powered by a 4.2 Jelly Bean android version. I use a French Orange SIM card that works normally on other phones.
I installed the recommended version of LineageOS for this device.
The installation went smoothly and the system boots normally. Nevertheless, after booting I can see a barred SIM card icon on top of the screen.
In the Mobile network settings only one entry is available, i. e. :
- Data roaming is greyed and not accessible
- Preferred Network type is greyed and not accessible
- Connected line identification is accessible
- Access Point Names is greyed and not accessible
- Network Operators is greyed and not accessible
Finding a tuto dealing with this kind of issue, I phoned *#*#4636#*#* . Then I could go to Phone info menu and there I could see this :
IMEI : my imei
Phone number : unknown
Current Network :
Signal strenght :
Voice Service:
Data Service: Disconnected
Voice Network Type: Unknown
Data Network Type: Unknown
Voice Call Status:
Roaming:
Set Preferred Network Type: here is a dropdown list. According to the tuto I tried every value but all of them failed to revive anything.
Is this a known issue and what can I do ?
Same can't find any info. I am using a oneplus T6

Hey guys,
My phone stopped working about a week or so ago and I tried everything to fix it, nothing worked, stumbled upon this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045869
And decided to check if my IMEI was blocked (it was), I called Tesco Mobile, asked them to unblock it, which they did but I cannot make any texts or calls. I have tried:
-Reflashing radio
-Reflashing ROM
-Factory Reset
-Leaving battery out overnight, putting it in the next day
-Tried SIM in other phones - it works in other phones
-Reinstalled stock Sense ROM
The strange thing is, I can use the internet but cannot make texts/calls. Advanced info via *#*#4636#*#* shows:
IMEI: same as on phone
Phone Number: correct number listed
Current Network: Unknown
Singal Strength: 0
Location: LAC = unknown CID = unknown
Neighbouring CID = unknown
Roaming = Not roaming
GSM service: Disconnected
GPRS service: Connected <<< WHY IS THIS CONNECTED AND GSM ISN'T?!
Network type: unknown
Message waiting: false
Call redirect: false
Radio resets: 0
Data attempts: 0
Data successes: 0
If I try to change the network to anything other than GSM only then it just reverts back to GSM only. The SIM works in any other phone, my phone IS unlocked, was working perfectly prior to being IMEI blocked, so what appears to be the issue? I called up Tesco to confirm the bar is removed and they said it is, so, what gives?
EDIT: I can happily browse the internet while out and about - no wifi, definitely GPRS as I use it while I am away from my home wifi/any wifi I connect to. I am confused as to why I can use GPRS but cannot use GSM...
maybe bad sim?

BTW you should post in Galaxy Note 2 Q&A forum ( use xda device search engine to locate it)
A modem change might give you results only after you have checked your APN ,
Quick Guide
First Check your settings > about phone > status > your phone number ( IF UNKNOWN )
You won't be able to send SMS by any third party sms apps or Have a Network connection
Solution :-
You need to edit that "unknown" number to your phone number, by putting your SIM card on any old phone that has a "my number/owner number" option, (most old phones do). Edit and save it to the proper phone format as your Sim Card number (Example: +63913XXXXXXX). Now put the SIM back to M110S, to solve this problem.
Than check your system settings, in Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.(APN) as provided by your Network provider . If your Apn is not set, you wont be able to have data connection, so set it first
If still no data connection, Common Trick is to toggle WIFI and Airplane mode or
1. Turn ON WIFI
2. Set the phone to Flight Mode
3. Power down the phone for a few Minutes
4. Power it back up
5. Turn OFF flight mode
6. Turn OFF WIFI
Should get Data back

Hi,
I just was given a Note 2. The problem with it is that it doesn't detect the sim card (even though one is inserted). It's a GT-N7105 and apparently has been unlocked to work with T-mobile.
An IMEI number is listed when I go to about phone >status. Here is what it says on the "status" page
Network: Unknown
Signl strength: -105 dBm 4asu
Mobile Network type: Unknown
Service State: out of service
My phone number: unknown
What have I done is hard factory reset the device, rooted it, installed a new version of Bliss Rom but that hasn't fixed it. What should I do next?
Back story:
Got used unlocked rooted Galaxy Nexus Toro from friend
Wiped
Tried updating to newer Cyanogen Mod - Failed
Found out b/c old recovery version
Updated Recovery to TWRP v2.8.7.0
Flashed CM 11-20140913-NIGHTLY-toro AV:4.4.4
Flashed Gapps from OpenGapps Aroma
connected to wifi and completely configured
The Problem:
After I left wifi coverage I realized I had no mobile data
can make calls but no internet or mms
No LTE icon but white bars do show signal
when i drop down the quick access menu the bars are orange
under settings>about phone> status
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal strength: -93dBm 2asu
Mobile Network type: CDMA eHRPD
Service state: in service
Roaming: not roaming
Mobile Network state: Disconnected
under testing menu> Phone information
Signal strength: -93dBm 2asu
Neighboring CID: unknown
GSM service: In service
GPRS service: Disconnected
Network Type: 1xRTT
Radio Resets: 0
Data attempts: 0
Data successes: 0
Preferred network type: LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Things tried:
Set APN manually
Reset APN to default
Made sure data is enabled
Dialed *228
Went to Verizon and got new SIM installed/activated
At this point I have no ideas. I would really preffer to not flash my phone seeing as I have it completely set up how I like it, also from what I've read that likely won't help. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear all,
I'm having some serious issues about connecting to my service provider via my Nexus 5x (model LGH791). I'm based in Germany, trying to use o2. Due to the fact I'm using a german user interface some of the following translated description may vary from the original english descriptions.
Bootloader Info:
PRODUCT_NAME - bullhead
VARIANT - bullhead LGH791 16GB
HW Version - rev_1.0
BOOTLOADER VERSION - BHZ10r
BASEBAND VERSION - M8994F-2.6.32.1.13
CARRIER INFO - N/A
SERIAL NUMBER - 00b5xxxsecretxxxx
SIGNING - production
SECURE BOOT - enabled
DEVICE STATE - unlocked
Recovery: TWRP 3.0.2-1
Kernel: Stock Kernel.
Root: No, not rooted.
EDIT:
IMEI: looks like a valid IMEI
When I try to unlock my SIM via PIN I read the message: "SIM PIN Operation failed".
When I'm searching manually for a provider under Settings > Mobile Network I get the message "Error while searching for network".
I already flashed the sugested image from this XDA post here to change the base band.
I flashed the PureNexus ROM located on the XDA-Developers Forum, to change the base band too.
I removed the partition modemst1, suggested by this post, too.
I re-flashed the latest Stock ROM MTC20F from Google Developers.
I were able to choose the "European" and "Automatic" option under *#*#4636#*#* but I had to choose an option multiple times to successfully set it. Even choosing the USA Band says "Setting [USA Band] Unsuccessful". After alternating between "EURO Band" and "Automatic" a few times (varying) it says "Setting [EURO Band] Successful". Seems like some settings can't be set right away. Confusing.
When I'm prompted to unlock my SIM via PIN, I'm able to unlock it the first time. A few seconds pass and I'm prompted a second time resulting in a waiting/looping screen that says "Unlocking SIM..." that seems to be canceled after a timeout. The SIM card won't get unlocked after the second prompt.
Right now I'm not able to get any connection to a mobile service. The rest of the device works as expected.
I tested my SIM card in my Nexus 5. It's working fine. It's a self-cutted SIM card, formerly in the format of a microSIM.
I tested another SIM Card, used within an older HTC One Mini, that is working fine, too. It's a nanoSIM.
Anyone got any idea what's going on?
Best,
huppys
