Hi all, I bought a new Galaxy Note II overseas in Malaysia in February. It is an original set fully network unlocked. I have tried using Vodafone New Zealand SIM card in it but to no avail. I tried flashing new modems and stock firmwares, ariza patch, backup and restore IMEI before and after flashing. My serial numbers and IMEI numbers are still the same and are matching to what is on the box.
If I insert a Malaysian SIM card it works on roaming mode since I am back in NZ, however if I insert a NZ SIM card and try to connect to the local network it says 'Unable to connect,' calling and messaging only results in 'Not registered to network.' And it only allows me to make emergency calls. My firmware is XXDMB2, baseband is ariza, kernel is Perseus.
I would be grateful for any help.

Have you checked the Mayalsian phone model supports NZ operator frequencies?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is an International N7100 and I am getting full signal here in NZ using Nz sim card

Just a sugestion to you, root the phone or install a pre-rooted ROM from drketan and then install Galaxy SIM Unlock to check and be sure that the phone is fully network unlocked and also not SIM restricted.
To check the SIM restriction make sure that under Details -Accepted MCC/MNC - it is writen "all" and not some numbers like 5021x were x can be any number.
Under the next line I expect your phone to have Network Lock -unlocked, because you could use any SIM and make SOS calls, but if the above line is showing some numbers instead of "all" that might be your problem.
It is worth checking this because the aplication is free to check the status of the locking.
My new Note 2 was locked, I got the official unlock code from my carrier, entered the unlock code, the Network Lock was showing as unlocked but the SIM restriction status was still showing as locked to my carrier , under Accepted MCC/MNC I had my operator network code instead of "all".
I paid 3 euro and unlocked my phone fully with the Galaxy SIM Unlock, small price for a full unlock if your phone is rooted.
Good luck
Hi mendo, thanks for the suggestion. I ran galaxsim and I will post a screenshot. I am leaning towards the serial number being generic 0. Flashing Dr Ketans rom didnt help but thanks for the advice.

The Serial Number is showing 000000000000 on mine as well, this is not an issue it must be a bug in the tool.
Use some other tool or in Settings- About Device - Staus - Serial Number to display the S/N if you want to make sure that it is the same with the one from the box.
The Product Code should be GT-N7100xxxyyy, where xxx is the HW version and yyy is the CSC (country sales code) for the country/carrier.
This Not Active product code, could be the result of your problem and it might signal that your nv_data.bin and md5 files don't match.
I found an old post for a Galaxy S phone where changing the phone code or modifing the nv_data.bin is an issue and the SIM won't register.
I am sure that there are more topics about this but I'll post the link for the Galaxy S issue where you can start investigating more.

The rest looks OK and your phone looks fully unlocked.
Here is a N7100 topic about the product code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045278
tried galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changertried galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changerCheck Fus is the only apk that will show the product code of your device with no need for root.
Unfortunately the apk doesn't work for the original purpose but at least it reads your product code.
Also it looks that the md5 checksum file is not autogenerating anymore if you edited the nv_data.bin and deleted the md5 file.
You need to restore the original bin and md5 file from an original efs backup.
I've just noticed that in your product code I can still see the CSC code as BTU.
Here is some info on the CSC and a free tool right at the end of the post if you need to change it, but it needs root and it will wipe your phone.
The apk is "galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changer".

Good luck, but I think you are in trouble and maybe only Samsung official service might be your salvation.
Wipe your root and install an official ROM before sending it to Samsung with the "product code missing" fault.
You may wish to hide the imei number as that is the one unique number that gives your phone an identity.

Product code is not active no matter what. I edited the nv_data.bin, made a backup of it, and did not delete the md5 file. I'll restore it and send it to Samsung service center. Thanks for the help brother, would've donated if possible but I'm a broke uni student

Editing the nv_data.bin will make the md5 original file useless because the checksum is different and you can't generate a valid md5 file anymore to match a modiffied nv_data.bin file.
Copying/Restoring the original nv_data.bin and original md5 files from a backup and set the permissions right, as in the Galaxy S topic might help.
Hello, did you solve your problem? I'm facing a similar issue with my N7100, I got the same message not registered on network and my sim isn't recognized. How did you fix it?
my IMEI is correct, I got exactly this problem
thnaks for help
Hello
I bought a used s9 a few months back. It had dual sim. In "about phone" it said G960F and was on android 9. A few days ago, I wanted to flash android 10 so I downloaded firmware for G960F, booted my phone in download mode and SURPRISE. The whole thing was in Korean and of course it was a G960N model. So I downloaded firmware for G960N this time and flashed it. Everything went perfect but when the phone booted up, It had no sim service.
I've tried everything I've found on the forums so far related to emergency calls only or no sim service.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. I have no sim service for 5 days now.
Things I've tried so far:
Flashing my phone again with android 9 stock firmware, which I can't do anymore as I've updated the bootloader lol.
Flashing custom roms
Changing csc from SKC to KOO
Flashing OXM CSC as I live in Pakistan
Flashing different modems and basebands
Nothing worked
Anyone??
Hello everyone, a few days ago I flashed the new firmware for samsung S20 Ultra manually because updating was not possible from the settings on the phone. I got a "registration failed" error. After flashing, when I insert the SIM card and try to call, I get the error "not registered on network". The phone country id is WWC but i can`t find firmware with that csc code. I flasched telenor Serbia MSR code. Any help or information is welcome.

Idk if is still helpful, but try to install ARO (Argentina) firmware, it will get you a firmware that will receive updates. It also works for S21/S21+/S21 Ultra.
I have 2 big problems with my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G Android 11! Bought it in Spain, have installed Samsung Firmware through Samsung Menu and BOOTLOADER ID is EUX(is from Samsung itself)!!
Bought the phone in Vodafone shop so this is my service provider Software version: SAOMC_SM-G988B_OXM_ATL_RR_0030 ATL/ATL_ATL/EUX/ATL
I bought a Network Unlock code installed a PHE stock rom firmware but didn't change a thing! So I don't know if the Network Unlock code worked or not because it stays registered at ATL=CSC code Vodafone(Spain)
Tried to uninstall pre-installed service provider programs, got some definetely uninstalled but not all of them, reinstalled an other stock firmware PHE again and nothing got changed again!
So now I need help from real wizards to help me with this problem!
I want bootloader ID CHANGED to PHE for example and want all pre-installed programs definetely uninstalled from my device, at the moment they get automaticly installed at the end of installing new firmware!
Doesn't something exist to format but real format as a SDD from a PC? Something like that should be found out that we can wipe everything and start all over again!
Is there not such possibility with unlocking the bootloader and installing new stock firmware again? I tried that but it fails, does someone now there a solution for?
Network Unlock Code to use to Unlock the Network lock code is locked now because it was a bad code they gave me and now it is asking for a MCK. Anyone knows how to get a MCK code?
Need some help guys. I am based in Australia and swapped an iPhone for the Z Fold 3. Went through the usual connection process with my sim and esim whilst connected to wifi. All was well as it allowed calls and received calls when I was home. As soon as I stepped outside my home where it was trying to use the network, it does not work. It keeps saying not registered on network. Tried to manually select network via settings, checked all APN settings from the network and all is ok. Even tried 3 different carrier sims (Vodafone, Optus and Telstra) yet still no matter what this phone will never connect to any carrier network without wifi. From there I tried 3 different firmwares from Sam mobile just in case it had corrupt firmware. Both android 11 and 12 will not work. Need help guys please. Any suggestions?
Two options
1. Get into recovery and do a factory reset
2. Flash the latest firmware ( F926BXXS1BVB3 ) , firmwares are now Multiregion so no problem with that

If that doesn't work , maybe you lost your EFS partition ( it contains your IMEI info ) and that is a big problem
You will have to read a lot here @ xda to try to recover it ( if it'spossible somehow )
Thank you kindly for the information and reply as it is really appreciated.
I can see both imei numbers on the device if this is what you mean? Ironically when the phone is on WiFi with WiFi calling enabled and the simcard plugged in, it allows me to make calls with my number sending to the recipient, it just won't do the same when the WiFi is disabled, I can not communicate out by data nor voice and it keeps saying "not registered on network." I have checked and the phone is not network locked and is clear for use. I will try the firmware link you have sent however if this does not work, may I ask what you think may be next?
To add I have tried various firmware which did not work either.
Can anyone help with this as the above unfortunately did not work.

When you flashed stock firmware , did you use CSC or HOME_CSC ?
You have to use CSC , to get a fresh install
If possible , once flashed get into recovery to perform a Factory reset from there , maybe this can get back the EFS partition that seems to be corrupted
again ... DON'T use HOME_CSC

Thank you for your reply. I did use csc and followed all your instructions. Unfortunately still the same. I am so lost as to what to do as I love the phone but can not seem to fix it.
