ya i did change. its not this. i dont know what is wrong.
Since you are using the Korean Variant of the S20 Ultra, it could be a compatibility issue with the provider. Usually, the providers' will test the devices. Since Singapore uses the Exynos chipset like mine here in Australia the provider would have only tested the Exynos and not the Snapdragon version
Who knows a SIM replacement may fix the issue

sorry this is slightly off-topic, and apologies if this forum is unsuitable. it's about a samsung e700 phone i also own.
I bought it secondhand from someone on ebay (stupid me) about 6 months ago (before i got the xda) and it later stopped working, first on o2 then soon after on all UK networks.
I enquired at an o2 shop and they said it is black-listed and nothing can be done about it.
My questions are:
1. will the imei block be global, or just UK? if not then i give it to a friend in tanzania when i go there next week
2. Is there any way to overcome the IMEI block?
hope someone can advise me, before it goes in the can!
cheers
International Mobile Equipment Identifier
I'd say from the first word that yes, it's probably not going to work in Tanzania either.
Blocked IMEI number usually just means one thing - stolen phone. Noting can be done about it either.
The identification is international, but blocking is operator dependant. except that often all the operators of the same country share their database of stolen devices. I guess that this database is not worldwide shared. So could de probably used in other country.
1. will the imei block be global, or just UK? if not then i give it to a friend in tanzania when i go there next week Smile

As far as i know the IMEI is only blocked in the UK (dont quote me on it though )
2. Is there any way to overcome the IMEI block?

On some phones you can change the IMEI number that is blocked on that phone, but bear in mind it is illegal in this country so not advisable.
I would take it to Tanzania and check if it will work ... if not then bad luck but if it does then your mates got a new phone
It will work outside of UK
Thanks to everyone for the advice, I will take it to Tanzania and see if it works. My friend will be very happy if it does, otherwise I'm sure he could find a shop with equipment to change the IMEI number - probably don't have laws abou it there!
cheers,
Paul
Good news! I am now in tanzania and the phone works fine on the network that my friend uses. He is very pleased with his "new" phone.
Nice, hot and sunny here, but no XDA to play with. Just my baby, friends and nice empty beaches and warm water to swim in. Oh how much I miss the UK :wink:
no one have any idea how to spoof or change the IMEI?

Er....why?
Yes actually I do. Quite simply a physical way, which is not illegal in some areas and also you can do it by imei manipulation, but that requires playing with other peopels systems.
will defonatly work abroad.
the phone will only be blocked to UK networks
so should work abroad
I purchased a lot of 2 Samsung Note 8.0 AT&T from ebay.
Since I've never dealt with fastgsm.com, I ordered only one unlock to try it out first. It worked and I unlocked the first Samsung Note 8. Now I know fastgsm.com isn't some scam or something.
So I ordered a second time for the second tablet. I just got the following email from fastgsm.com asking for photo ID. Anyone ever had this happen?
Hello!
We noticed that you made a second order of Samsung USA codes.
As this particular service is potentially risky for us because of high number of frauds,
we would like to ask you to send us your name, full address, phone number and a photo of ID card.
Thank you for understanding.
Kind regards,
Tomas

So. I normally live in the US in which what im asking is not needed BUT i traveled to Iran because of vacation (because it was where i was born in) and i had to get some paperwork done.
Needless to say, i traveled there with my razer phone.
Now my razer phone is rooted running android 8.1.0 with magisk v16.
Now i NEED to change my IMIE because they recently put a regulation in place for phones that come in from outside of the country.
You have to register your phone within a month or your IMEI will be blocked through their network.
I have used IMEI chamger from xposed framework and it does not work that good. It used to with a different sim card (Rightel) but not working with (MTN Irancel)
Point being, i need an app or trick to change my IMEI with qualcomm chipsets. Cpu being snapdragon 835 of course.
Please help me, i dont have a phone at the moment to use other than my razer phone.
Now registering my phone in their system is no longer possible and is very expensive in Rials (irams fiat currency) so help me please!.
I have done research but i have not found any effective method yet.
Phone services say "Phone Not Allowed"

Mine also doesn't show. that doesnt mean its an issue. may be this device just doesn't support such MMI.
I am curious as to why that is an issue? Replacement phone is not necessarily OEM. It is typically a refurbished phone not backed by OEM but they also have the OEM licensing permission for repairs etc. Meaning they are okay to do same repairs as in a manufacturer's warranty and such. I a just not fully understanding the significant importance of a dial-up code. Simple changes from when your original phone programmed versus the refurbishing program can be significant. I am not sure if this is helpful but I do hope it is in some way. I had a vzw pxl2 and had to have it replaced to my thankfulness due to my want to root and such. Long story that cannot be shared here on this forum.
It used to work for me when I was India... Now it doesn't in Australia... Don't really fret about it as might be a region issue... So something similar

Doesn't work in AUS yup. Worked in EU though.
Hello everyone,
I bought the OP7T international version HD1900 but I didn't realize that it does not have the american certification FFC ID, as the HD1905 does. The problem is that because of that I cannot use my OP7T HD1900 in my country because that particular model is not authorized. So my plan is to somehow by software change the model reference ID of my OP7T from HD1900 to HD1905 so my operator now let me use my phone to make calls. I already rooted my phone for this purpose and is currently running Oxygen OS 10.0.8HD65AA.
Does anybody know if is this possible? Thx!
If they're finding out the model number from the IMEI, you're not going to be able to change what is on their database.

Thx. Since that is uncertain, I still would like to give it a try to change the model number.

If you're going into a store and they're looking at the number on the phone's screen you can maybe change that, but if you're calling them up to do this then it's almost guaranteed it's being determined from the IMEI and you can't do anything about it.

Thank you so much. I didn't know that the IMEI somehow "encodes" your brand and model number within it. Cheers!

No problem. I don't know the details, but there are websites that buy phones that can tell the model/ storage/ colour just from the IMEI, so it's definitely data that exists in some big database.
Im not 100% sure... but pretty sure that if you install the American firmware it also changes the model #
... @ least in the settings on that device... now obviously it would conflict with the websites that have all the information on that particular device via the IMEI... but in your settings it should change The model number also.. I'm like 99% sure this was the case when I bought the T-MOBILE version of the 6t and converted it to the international version.. If I were you I would flash the North American version..UPDATE Check this thread... I think it should answer your question
