[help!]Can not send the SMS with my GS 2 - Galaxy S II General

Dear everyone,
Please help me!!! I cannot send the SMS on my GS2, but I can receive SMS. I read from the screen:" Message not sent, Revie message and try again"
I asked three, which is my operator. But the technician is not very helpful. He tried to tell me to restart the phone, get out the sim card and put it back in the phone and restart, it wouldn't work. And I also tried to setup the configurations in Messaging----Settings----Text message (SMS) settings-----Message Centre. However, this option is grey and I cannot change.
I went to google and found some people was talking about the SMSC. Before this problem happened, I did try *#*#4636#*#*-----Phone information several times, and maybe accidentally changed the SMSC, so I tried to put +447782000800 (three service centre number) in but every time it is "update error". Can anybody here help me out?? Thank you very much!

I did it 100 times , diffirent roms ... didnt help ..

I had the exact same problem and tried flashing several different ROMs on the phone, but it turns out the problem was that the message center number got deleted for some reason. On my phone the option wasn't grayed out and I was able to change it to the correct setting, which fixed my SMS-sending issue. Is your phone rooted?

OP you need a service centre .
Just a thought man who install multiple roms often lose EFS . Does your phone report its correct IMEI number .

Can not send sms / No SMSC number, update error?

Well, I got a strange problem. I can't send any text messages anymore. I can recieve, but not send.
I checked *#*#4636#*#* menu. The SMSC number is empty, when I press update it gives me "update error", when I press refresh my SMSC number appears, but it doesn't save I think, after a reboot it's empty again and the problem remains.
I followed this guide and did all the steps but nothing seems to help.
Anyone knows a solution for this?
Thx in advance
I went to the store to get me a new sim card, problem remains, I even flashed stock rom. Nothing seems to help
EDIT: Called my provider, apparently because I changed my contract something went wrong with my number, they fixed it, everything is working again.

"Original thread"
Hello everyone,
Well, back again with the problem that can't find any solution anywhere.
I've opened a thread about fake imei on this site earlier which can find a solution already. Now the imei and the S/N become original one but the phone still can't make any call. I found the thread about a patch that can fix this issue but it works with NOTE2 and S3 only... so, I'm afraid to try that with my S4 GT-I9500 since it's very hard to find a fix for its problem... I don't want another problem for my phone now...
So, the status of the phone is unlock, root, on latest stock firmware(I9500XXUBMG1), Baseband is I9500DXUBMF8,
Software status on phone: Network=Unknown, Mobile Network Type=Edge:2, Service State=Out of service...
When I check with AndroidDump the Telephony said:
IMEI=(my original IMEI)
CallState=IDLE
DataActivity=NONE
DataState=DISCONNECTED
NetworkType=EDGE
PhoneType=GSM
SimState=READY
CellLocation=[16427,50572,-1]
DeviceSoftwareVersion=01
Line1Number= (it's blank)
NetworkCountryIso=th
NetworkOperator=52018
NetworkOperatorName= (it's blank...again)
SimCountryIso=th
SimOperator=52018
SimSerialNumber= (my sim serial number)
SubscriberId=52018961057xxxx (this is my IMSI)
VoiceMailAlphaTag=VOICEMAIL
VoiceMailNumber=1802 (this is the voice mail number of my sim operator)
Now, let's go back a bit for earlier problem of my phone...
It's been stuck on Samsung logo(bootloop) because of EFS folder corrupted(Error mount efs)
Solution: I forced the efs to mount by enter the command in Terminal Emulator on Recovery mode, then the phone reboot normally with wifi connect but fake Imei(004999xxxxxxx) and S/N 00000000000. So, I can't make any call since then but can connect wifi.
After that with the fake Imei and S/N all zero I've finally found a mobile repair shop that can write the original Imei and S/N for me with the SPT Box. So, my phone has the original Imei and S/N now but when I try to make call it said "Not registered on network"
If I choose the network manually(My operator is DTAC) it will be Network(DTAC)unavailable... If set to choose automatically, it looks fine but when I attempt to call it said "Not registered on network" again...
The phone still can connect to WiFi, as usual... but can't make call...like before fix the Imei and S/N
Contacted the operator of my sim already and they said it seems to be the problem of the phone so, I have to contact Samsung... but my phone has no service with Samsung coz it's the phone from another country and it's been root already...
I've tried every way I can(found on this site and other site...) None work...
So... anyone has any idea why my phone can't make any call???... and HOW EXACTLY TO FIX IT???
Thank you again for you time and help...

This is why you should always back up your EFS folder. If your IMEI ever gets lost you can restore using the EFS backup folder very easily.

You were ABSOLUTELY right. I had done NOTHING wrong, my IMEI had been blacklisted by a weird mistake of a mobile company.
I'll explain my jourey, in the hopes that it can help somebody, since, I HAVE A SOLUTION for every single case of this issue.
1) When I got my gt-i9500, of course I rooted it, then i proceeed to flash PAC-ROM on it, but I had to go back to Stock (Arrow Modified Version) since PAC-ROM is FULL of glitches ans bugs.
2) After a week of being using ARROW, i got the "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" problem. Not instantly, no, AFTER A WEEK OF USING AS MY DEFAULT ROM. I got really scared, since I DIDN'T MAKE A BACKUP OF MY EFS FOLDER, and when I review my IMEI, it wasn't even the 00049... generic one, it was null/null. So i shat my pants, thinking I had ruined my S4 for good. But I started reading. First i had to get my IMEI back to its original form, and then work around the network issue (THAT'S THE ORDER, ACTUALLY)
3) So I downloaded a whole bunch of modems and tried one after one, with no success, some of them put the generic IMEI on my phone, some of them got my IMEI back to null/null. I was worried and drinking industrial quantities of wine at this point. So i went for the obvious but way more boring solution. I TRIED FLASHING STOCK ROMS on my S4. I live in Perú, so I only have 2 choices to do this, and actually my carrier stock rom is not even listed on SamMobile.com (I'm on Nextel Peruvian 3G network). The 2 choices i tried, neither got my signal or my IMEI BACK. I started going desperate, but keept on reading.
4) Tried the MTK Droid Tools to recover my IMEI. I had never even used The ADB android interface before, but learned rather quickly. Got my S4 connected, shell rooted, and still couldn't change my IMEI; since MTK Droid Tools (and please trust me on this one) ONLY WORKS FOR THE CHINESSE/KOREAN VERSIONS OF THE S4. So don't even bother, you might learn ALOT about the android ADB interface, but won't fix your IMEI.
5) Finally I started downloading a bunch of Stock roms in order to get my IMEI fixed automaticaly by flashing them through ODIN. And the I stumble upon THIS ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396 WHICH SEEMED like a divine answer from heaven since, just by flashing it, got me back my ORIGINAL IMEI.
6) At this point i had discovered that INDEED the MODEM: I9500UBUBMG9 does get your IMEI back to its original state. (That's your answer). SO, I was in a Stock rom, with my original IMEI, bu had NO FREAKING SIGNAL WHAT SO EVER. STILL HAD THE "Not registered on network" FREAKING problem. So I, finally, gave up, came here, and got the answer that It might had to do with my IMEI being blacklisted. I refused to believe so, since there are this stories on the internet, that you can actually screw your EFS folder by installing a custom AOKP rom without backing it up, and that there's this "RF CAL" file that only samsung knows how to fix and once it's corrupted, you won't be able to connect to any network, ever. BUT HERE'S THE THING, THAT story IS A LIE.
7) I went to NEXTEL (My carrrier) support (They sold me the phone) today, and YES, OMG YES, my IMEI had been blacklisted, AND HERE'S THE CATCH: ANYONE (At least that can happen in my country) ANYONE, can call your mobile operator, reporting your phone has been stolen, and the op will block NOT ONLY YOUR NUMBER, but your freakining IMEI, blacklisting it, and making it IMPOSIBLE for you to get connected on ANY network.
SO Here is my conclussion to this WEIRD case:
1) If you have the NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK and you have the WRONG IMEI issue (Meaning, your IMEI is the generic: 00049... or Null/Null) , flash via ODIN, THIS STOCK ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396, just... flash it, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE READ THAT YOU JUST NEED THE MODEM, I garantee that if you flash this stock rom, your IMEI will go back to its original state.
2) If your S4 is on an Stock Rom, and you have your original IMEI; and you still can't connect to your network, It means your original imei has been blacklisted, and you NEED to talk to sammy or your carrier to fix this, or contact someone who can undo this situation.
That's it. I hope that my journey helps someone that is trying to get this "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" issue solved, as I've been trying to for the entire weekend. Just... don't give up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif

1) If you have the NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK and you have the WRONG IMEI issue (Meaning, your IMEI is the generic: 00049... or Null/Null) , flash via ODIN, THIS STOCK ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396, just... flash it, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE READ THAT YOU JUST NEED THE MODEM, I garantee that if you flash this stock rom, your IMEI will go back to its original state.
2) If your S4 is on an Stock Rom, and you have your original IMEI; and you still can't connect to your network, It means your original imei has been blacklisted, and you NEED to talk to sammy or your carrier to fix this, or contact someone who can undo this situation.
That's it. I hope that my journey helps someone that is trying to get this "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" issue solved, as I've been trying to for the entire weekend. Just... don't give up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif

it's so amazing that the mobile company staff have so much power, isn't it? I thought the report process should be a bit more formal, with a note from the policeman or something. Otherwise it's so easy to get fxxked up for doing nothing...

[Q] g900f call barring problem!!

Hello im new in here!
Im using samsung galaxy s5 g900f and it was working perfectly. But yesterday idiotic me entered an mmi code which is *35*0000# so all my incoming calls and sms' barred.
After that i tried its neutralizer to go back normal which is ##35*0000# but it didnt work. I tried dozens of mmi codes but it just stuck in there?!
Anyway after that i go back to default options menu on the phone. Call settings -> additional settings -> call barring -> bar all incoming calls. It asks for a password which is defaulty is 0000, it gives error and goes back. Tried to change password and it gave error too.
Wipe cache, hard reset, root, custom rom i tried every one of them to ger rid of this sh.t but i couldnt. Even samsung support couldnt help me. Please please help !

You could try flashing the stock rom with Odin and factory reset afterwards to see if that fixes the issue.

[Q] GT-i9505 problems when upgrading stock message app to S5 version

So I recently rooted my phone, and one of the things I wanted to do was upgrading my apps to the S5 versions. I decided to start out with the messaging app, and I must have done something wrong. Every 2 seconds a "Process com.android.phone has stopped" message and a "Messages has stopped" message comes up. My phone also loses and gets back signal every 3 seconds. If I try to turn on 3G it says I haven't insertet a SIM card, even though I have. I think I've deleted something I shouldn't have. Is there any way I can download the files I might have deleted, or do I have to flash my phone with the stock files? I can't find stock files for a Norwegian version, so this could be a problem. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi ,
Regarding Process com.android.phone has stopped usually that is a problem with gmail contact sync , delete the account and re install it again
Regarding the sim part , it only gives you that when selecting 3G with the rest of bands is ok??

I tried factory resetting my phone hoping it would fix my problem, and it didn't work. The message pops up as soon as I typed in my PIN code upon starting the phone again.
Not completely sure what you mean with "rest of bands", but if you mean calling and texting, calling someone gave me a "Mobile Network not available" message, and I can't text anyone since my Messaging app has been replaced with the S5 versions, which crashes on start.

Hi ,
If factory reset did not work try:
Settings /more/Application manager/all/contacts/clear data and cache
If the problem still persist do the same with contact storage
Is going to be hard as the message pops out all the time ..but is possible , if not you will have to reflash your rom
What rom you have stock or custom?
If you got the message Mobile Network not available it may be a problem with the efs folder ( do you have a back up??)
check from the phone pad dial *#06# what IMEI you get is the one you have under the battery??

I tried clearing data and cache in contacts and contact storage, and it didn't work.
I don't think I have a ROM, I used the TowelRoot app and installed the S5 taskbar and settings, but I don't think that counts as a ROM.
I don't have a backup of my efs folder, but I haven't touched it, so if that's the problem, it must have been changed when I tried installing the Messaging app.
I tried dialing *#06# but it just gave me the "Mobile network not available" message.
If I need to flash my phone with the stock files I have a problem. I couldn't find any files for Norway.

n9005 "not registred in network"

Guys please help me out...
i got very big problem: i bought phone from hands , with warranty etc. everything were awesome, till i flashed lolipop. when i started to using it , it showed up problems with network, in my city very often i get not signal, and cant registre to network, try again later. I asked in ROM treads noone answered me [its not rom problem i guess]. about 5 days i checked solutions none of roms helped.
i changed sim card, i tought it could be faulty- no
i changed phone number i thought it is faulty- no
i changed carrier , YES it worked, but 3 days later, im registred in network, but signal is very changing, and today i cant register in network[in the same room]
i checked imei *#06# and there were big problem, imei wasnt like on note 3 box , and backcover, it is like 14950000168.... /01 , and i cant find solution, how to get this imei back. i checked with root broswer, efs folder- there is no file .nv_data , or anything that starts with.nv. i checked *#0011#, IMEI BYPASS : PASS from carrier side.
i dont have any backups, nothing. im so afraid that this 300eur phone is only wifi device.:crying:
is there any wait to get back this imei :S ?
guaranteed compensation , if suggested method will work. [PP]
like approvment i can send images of note 3 box/warranty check that its my property, thats not stolen device.
I tryed very much options. If needed some kind of detailed info. just say, ill get it.
hope for good advice.
sry for my english.
Faithfully, Berils.
any idea guys? suggestions?
bump :S
Buddy, I am not sure if I understood you very well.
But you can try to go settings - connections - more networks - mobile networks. Then change the Network name from WCDMA/GSM to WCDMA only.
I have done that & it has worked for me. I have done few more things that helped me to resolve the issue. Please let me know if you need any help.

the biggest problem is that, that i have knox 0x1 , and i got no imei. i readed my carrier warranty rules: IF IMEI is deleted or changed the will not repair.
fck.... im so exhausted of finding solutions.
ill try to set up lolipop again, and i hope now it will reset all partitions, and will create nv.data file, and other imei stufff.... finger cross.
stay up tune. will report.
