I'm curious to know if anyone with a non t-mobile g1 experienced the same.
My phone was working fine this morning until it stop being able to register on the network with the above error. The only thing I did with it this morning was to put on a screen protector. I doubt it's related
A reboot in recovery mode and a wipe fixed the network registration issue so I guess some data were corrupted.
Hi.
I have the same problem now. Have tried to hardreset but still No service..
Can you help me??

Just get a new sim card
I have the same problem now - but it is extremely frustrating and I have tried, since I first wrote what is below to downgrade - but cupcake will not let me.
I have an unlocked - but also unrooted G1. I use it in Europe and in the US. While in Europe I got the message to upgrade and without thinking I did. Then while in Europe I could no longer use the phone as a phone. The update went fine and I had ‘cupcake’ but any SIM I put in (T-mobile, BASE etc) there was no signal and when I went to do it manually I got the message “your SIM does not allow a connection to this network”
So I did a hard reset, but then I could not get pas the start screen since I had no data connection (but I did seem to have phone connection again.
In a layover in Atlanta I tried again - I was able to log in and set up and all was great and good. I should note that I have an old data plan and use an alternative APN to access data. This worked fine in Atlanata where there is 3g connection.
Back home no win Florida… no phone service - same as in Brussels. same message. Worth noting - there is no T-mobile 3G service where I live.
After thinking about this for a while I am wondering if somehow I did not get the correct or full radio update…
if this is true - do you have any idea how to remedy the situation or how I would know if this is the problem?
I appreciate any help.
I have the same problem, any news about this?
I had this issue randomly about a week ago. Reboots didn't work, and I really didn't want to go through a wipe/re-flash. I called T-Mobile, they had me reboot [after I told them I had already done it] --- they ended up deleting me from the network and reboot my phone again, which apparently re-registered me on their network.
This is on T-Mobile US (SW Ohio to be specific)
Does anyone has any news about that? I was told that this might be a radio issue, so I tried to downgrade my celphone to version 62.33.20.0H_1.22.12.29, (using fw 1.0 too), it worked for some time then suddenly it gave me the same error that my sim card it's does not allow to this network, so I forced, again, to my network and the same message appear, I tried this sim in another celphone and worked, I tried another sim on my G1 and it didn't worked, this celphone was working when I lived in the US, but here in Brazil it's not working just like there.. my guess is that the Radio in other countries has any bug, does anyone here was able to fix that? any further advice?
thanks.
weird, i have this issue tonight on one of my unlocked g1's that would normally be working on ATT.
I'll update this post if/when I find a cure.

I've been having the same issue of and on for a couple of months now with a G1 on Dutch T-mobile with dutch T-mobile SIM card, which is odd. Running CM mods so maybe the fact that i'm runnig non stock fw causes this?
I get this problem from time to time. Almost never around town where coverage is good, but when I'm on the road in a lot of places where coverage from any provider is poor this happens, especially if it keeps having to switch back and forth between roaming and not roaming. I even get this on T-Mobile and they are my provider. Usually a reboot fixes it, but not always. I've never had it last more than an hour though.
Try reflashing the radio on your phone. Sometimes this helps solve odd connection issues.

according to my tries, this isn't related at all. i'd like to check in on this thread and see a known fix instead of maybes.
Had the same problem
I had this problem about a month ago, apparently simcards can go bad after a while; I had the same simcard for 5 years and it became unreadable. I went to a t-mobile dealer, bought a new simcard for $20, and I was finally able to get my connection back. It's a bit of an expensive route, but at least I didn't have to replace the entire phone.

my att sim is 4+ years old, but works fine in all but one phone in question, with the above error. also, I have a brand new tmo sim that throws the same error, only on that one phone- which leads me to believe its not a sim CARD problem at all.
all my phones are unlocked, in case of weird problems with any gsm carrier.
Looking at your sig, is this one of the phones with gnav? Because some of the earlier techniques of installing gnav have resulted in a "no service" signal. If it is one of the phones with gnav, try pushing the old build.prop files back into the phone.

gave it a shot, used the normal build.trout... and same results. surely someone at tmobile is familiar with this problem ?
Same issue.
I am running cyanogenMod-4.2.12.2 with radio v. 2.22.19.26I on a t-mobile mytouch. I will lose service and the phone will not automatically reconnect to the network. When I manually select my network (wind mobile) it sometimes connects fine and sometimes I get a "your sim card does not allow a
connection to this network" error and must reset. I found this thread code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2845 where dozens of people running all different hardware (G1-hero) and all different software (stock cupcake, cyanogen, etc) all experiencing same problem. It seems this problem is happening regardless of the network (T-mobile, vodafone, orange & wind mobile). The problem seems to be happening through all different variables. Changing sims does not seem to fix it. Anyone have any ideas, this is very frustrating.
I've seen this issue as well, with the new Canadian provider Wind Mobile.
The issue seems to coincide with new towers being added onto the network. There are minor service disruptions that result in the network being temporarily screwed up. Going into and out of airplane mode seems to fix it every time.
Also note: These minor service disruptions do NOT ONLY affect my phone, but others (different brands) as well.
They've gotten better at adding towers without blowing up the whole network. It started out happening a few times every day. In the last week it happened only once.
Funny observation: When this happens, the DATA SERVICE recovers automatically, even though the signal gauge remains in X-no service mode. This part is probably android and/or dream related.
It is related with network
I've started to have the same issue tonight. I've rebooted several times and changed the SIM card with another from another operator but nothing helped.
Then i remembered that since I bring this phone from Belgium to Turkey, the regulations in Turkey requires the phone to be registered with its IMEI number to the telecomunications supreme board.
Altough i had initiated the registration process months ago, i thought that there may have been a problem with the registration, so i checked the boards web page.
It turned out that my IMEI is not registered and this most probably is the reason for the not allowed connection.
Tomorrow i will try to reach the board officials and i hope it solves the issue.
do you know what happened? i having the same issue right now and cant seem to find a way to solve it..
I have 2 X10's on my person.
The first being perfect, and does what it should do, minus bluetooth hf car kit...
The second is also new, but a certain network dont want it back, so am eager to say the least to make it work for wifey.
Right, it does this.....
You switch on, it boots up with a sim card, but hangs an X in the signal area... for a while too... Then it finds 3G and works... but it drops to GPRS and even though theres signal, does it hell as like. No calls, texts or data. Then it X's for 2 mins. Finds 3G and works, drops to GPRS and so on...
Lots of spares, but is this a quick fix? I want it to work for the wife see...
sad lol
Have you tried to do a repair using SEUS? Might help sort out the radio issues.
from my experience that is a sim issue, how old is the sim you were using in it, if it is a 2G sim then you will experience the above, try setting it to GSM only to test it. If that is the problem then a simple new sim will fix it. We have it a lot with people who dont upgrade there sim with a new handset.
I'm on my second x10 and its fine. I tried my daughters sim and that did it too. Have also tried reloading firmware too,,, no go.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I had a problem almost similar to this when I just got my X10. What I noticed was the Auto Internet button was grayed out, so I put in my providers internet setting manually. But the signal keeps coming in and out. Then I decided to update the software to UK Generic and after that, I did not encounter this problem anymore. The Auto Internet button was not grayed out anymore after the update to UK Generic R2BA026...
Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone could help? I think I may have turned my DHD into an expensive mp3 player! I don’t seem able to connect to any mobile network Apart from that the DHD functions perfectly (working wifi/gps) - it has been working fine in the past
I can’t make/receive any calls / text message. When I try to connect to a mobile network I receive the following error:
- If I choose the network manually myself (o2 for me) I get "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
- If I try going for the automatic option I get "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
- I'm also getting the notification every 10 minutes to "Set current time" - I don't know if this is related but I assume so since both issues started at the same time!
The problem occurred when I decide to give RCMix a go through ROM Manager. It appeared to flash fine and was running smooth and quick until I noticed a few hours later I had no mobile connection I'd done this a few times before with RC 7 and CoreDroid and hadn’t experienced an issue before.
First thing I tried was to recover to my previous setup before the flash (using ROM Manager) - the phone restored however the mobile network still remained unresponsive! ...this was the same for all my previous backups. I tried clearing cache and dalvik-cache. I even tried reformatting the phone at one point.
I know it's a fault with the phone and not the sim, I'm just not sure what. I've tried my sim card in another DHD and it worked fine. I have also tried different o2 sim, an orange, vodaphone and T-mobile sim card in my phone – all of which give the same problem.
I’ve tried resorting the phone with a few different RUU’s, and even a German one just because it was o2 branded and I’m on contract with them:
- RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
- RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed

- RUU_Ace_O2_DE_1.32.207.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153755_signed
I then re-rooted the phone with the use of Visionary+.
I’ve tried turning the radio off then back on, both by switching airplane mode and by using the hidden option *#*#4636#*#* and I’ve also tried re-flashing the radio and even a different more up-to-date radio:
- Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M (original)
- Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M
I’ve checked out the APN and it appears to be correct for o2.
I’ve done simpler things like restarting / powering off, removing the battery, re-seating the sim, re-seating the sdcard and booting without the sdcard!
All in all I’m running low on idea’s Could anyone please help or throw some idea’s at me, it would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

Did you try on your phone pad to type *#06# in order to check your IMEI?Do it and check on your phone's box that they are the same

Double check your SIM card slot to see if its clear of any debris. Other than that, there is a definite fault. Was your handset originally branded?
Sounds like a blacklisted imei.

HTC HD2 with error connecting to the network problem
I have the same problem! I bought a phone from ebay "new" and I have not been able to connect to my network AT&T. The phone has android gingerbread 2.3.2 Nand, and I have tried everything in the book to see if I can connect to the network but to no avail. I have been going on forums for the last three days, and if anything, I just want to know what is wrong with the phone. My sim works on other phones fine. There is enough signal in the area (ive always had signal where I live), and tried resetting, taking the battery off, flashing different roms, even went back to Winmo and nothing has worked yet. My IMEI on the phone was different from the one the box, but was the same on the phone as on the inside IMEI.
WHat the heck is going on? Please ideas or help!

Thanks for the quick replies...

Tried clearing the slot, there is no visible signs of blockage... also I bought the handset second hand - I've never seen any branding however when I bought it the previous owner did tell me it was previously locked to vodaphone and he had rooted it so that he could use other sims cards. Which is why I orginally tried a vodaphone sim card too.
Thanks for your suggestions so far guys
Just a quick update, I've been grasping at straws and I've also tried a few more bits below, none of which have worked... I think I may have to leave this one to rest. Just wanted to let others know who may be experiencing the same issues

It sounds like a fault. If it was network barred you would still receive a signal, for emergency calls. Can you return the handset to HTC for a warranty repair?

I still get a message on the lock screen saying Emergency Calls only - although admittedly I haven't tried calling the emergency services to check if it gets through.
Not being the original in-store purchaser I don't even know the age of the phone but I'm guessing probably over the 12 month warranty period, sod's law - I'll give them a ring and see what they say

My DHD was from the first batch and is still covered by warranty. How did you check to see if the IMEI was blocked?
I had a similar problem to this one. My mobile data connection gave out after my DHD's temp reached about 38 degrees while playing with it in the sun. A little while later I lost coverage completely, same as you. I tried everything, flashing ruus and re-rooting, re-s-offing, everything. Ten different ROMs, radios, kernels etc.
Eventually I gave up, figuring I had confirmed it was a hardware issue, and popped my sim in my old nokia so I had a usable phone and to get on with my life after wasting so many hours. I left the DHD with the battery removed, and ended up not coming home for a couple of days.
When I got home and decided to start playing around with the DHD again to see if I could get it working properly, I noticed the issues were gone.. I've tried to reproduce this problem out of curiosity, leaving the led light on high for a while, making the phone hot. Nothing. Since then I've flashed everything imaginable, and I've switched back and forth between two radios all week. No problems.
Strange, I'm guessing I have some form of hardware damage, but everything is running smoothly now at 1,5 GHz - no unstability of any kind.
I have done that actually! I took the battery off, and put the phone back in the box just to get on with my life. I left it sitting for a day and a half I guess, and I came back BUT unfortunately, unlike you, the problem is still there. The phone tries to look for signal, but it can't connect to the network. It does find the network and identifies it by name, but does NOT connect to it.
Sounds like a hardware fault Bob - Give it back to Rob!
or try and get HTC to fix if still in warranty?
Thanks! I thought so, too!
Hey did you solve problem?
I have had that emergency calls for 2 day,s i am waiting only. Please help.
If you find that your GPRS data connection connects but you have no GSM signal do the following
*#*#4636#*#* choose radio off and then radio on, be sure to be in a location with a STRONG GSM Signal and your phone should connect. I have had the same issue with my Desire HD and have been surviving with this workaround as nobody else seemed to know
Stiill same :S Selected networkd unavailable error
Try changing sim, or it sounds like blacklisted IMEI.
But my sim works on other phones and other sim cards work on my Huawei?
I was reading through this hoping desperately that somebody had found a solution. I had switched to Cyanogenmod recently but had GPS issues, so I tried flashing a new radio and RIL. Now I can't make any calls/texts, etc. as described here.
Tried several other radios/RILs, tried nandroid restore, tried flashing whole new ROM (LeeDroid). Still the same issue. Tried the *# codes listed here, no luck.
Please let me know if anybody has solved this one. I really don't need a paperweight right now...
My N4 got here today and put my t-mobile sim card in, but I'm not getting any service at all. Even with the sim card inserted, it still says "Emergency Calls Only." I tried connecting to tmo manually in the mobile networks page, but it just errors without connecting. What's strange is that on the phone status screen, my phone number and IMEI are displayed correctly so I don't think my sim card is the issue.
It shipped with 4.2.2, so I tried reverting back to 4.2.1 since I saw a couple comments about how the 4.2.2 update was causing reception issues, but still nothing. Tried flashing different radios/kernels/roms, but can't seem to get anything to work. I'm not having any other connectivity issues (wifi, bluetooth, etc) either. Could anyone shed some light on this issue? I'm stumped.

Did you get the N4 from Google Play or T-Mobile? If not, check that the IMEI is not blacklisted.
http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
Is this a MicroSIM, or a cut down MiniSIM?
Cut SIM's known to have issues.
When you reverted to 4.2.1, did you flash the radio image as well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36400943&postcount=1
Unless you need LTE, I would re-flash JDQ39 and re-lock the bootloader
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
If T-Mobile shows in a network scan, you should be able to connect. Visit a T-Mobile store to swap SIM's, otherwise you may need to RMA it.
I bought it on ebay. Checked to see if the IMEI is blacklisted but according to T-Mobile the IMEI is clear for use.
I am using the same sim card from my galaxy note, but I had it cut at a t-mobile store. The guy even verified that it was cut properly by putting it in his galaxy s3 and it worked fine.
When I reverted to 4.2.1, I tried using both radios 0.48 and 0.33, but neither did anything.
I'll try your last suggestion and report back.
Thanks
The N4 is super picky about cut Sim cards
Even if it works on another phone , it probably won't work in the Nexus .

Hello everyone,
I just bought a Moto G4 16 GB with Amazon Ads for my wife, but we are facing a very annoying problem: the carrier signal always dies after 24 hours give or take. We tested with a different SIM card and the same thing happened. When this happens the device only shows "Emergency Calls Only" and we have to reboot the phone in order to get the signal back.
So, is anyone else facing this problem? Is this really a problem with this phone in particular or every moto g4 has this problem? Should I return the device to amazon?
Thank you very much for any information you can give me!

No problems here since I got my phone last week and I have T-Mobile. You might have to check your apn settings with your carrier.

I tested the SIM card in a different phone and it worked flawlessly (I also use T-Mobile). The strange thing is that the phone gets the signal very well during more or less one day, after that I have to reboot to get signal again.
Well, this is probably a problem in the device. I already asked Amazon to send a replacement.

Thank you, but I just use the t-mobile network. In fact, my carrier is called campusSIMs and it is a MVNO that uses t-mobile network. So, my APN configs are a bit different from yours.
However, I didn't know about this mobile data thing. I didn't touch the developer options. Maybe, it can be a good idea.
Thank you!
It won't be your APN settings since that controls your data settings. If the sim is ok then it could be your phone.

I'm seeing a similar problem with the data portion of the network (also on T-Mobile). While I'm able to send and receive calls and texts, data doesn't work. There's no indication that it's attached to LTE or even 3G (just a standard signal bar with no other information). I moved the SIM card back to the old phone it was in and it works fine.
Things actually worked yesterday, so something happened overnight to break it.

There's no indication that it's attached to LTE or even 3G (just a standard signal bar with no other information). I moved the SIM card back to the old phone it was in and it works fine.
Things actually worked yesterday, so something happened overnight to break it.

That could possible be the APN settings. Although usually it's the opposite, they don't work at first then they update from the network later on. Most times the APN settings will set themselves but on the odd occasion they need to manually edited. I don't use T-Mobile but the APN settings are easy enough to find.

Sounds like you need to manually enter the APN settings. What you describe is exactly what happens when it hasn't loaded an APN.
I'm "kinda" having an issue here. It's a little different though; the phone works ok for a while (for me about 3 hours, usually), and then I still get an LTE indicator, but have no network connection (get errors in apps/"No internet" page in chrome).
Other times, I lose LTE and get locked in 3g (H indicator), and can only get LTE back by going to Settings/More/Cellular Networks/ and toggle preferred network mode to 2g or 3g, let it connect (H or E), then toggle back to LTE.
Motorola responded to a bad Amazon review requesting I post asking for help on their forums.

I'm active over on their forums also and it's good to post over there in case you ever want to do a soak test. They look at your posts there when they ask for soak testers. As for your problem, I've seen it shift back and forth if you are in an area between towers and one isn't sending out LTE. If it were that I wouldn't think you'd get it back so easily. There's an app, don't remember the name, that will show the towers and signal relative to your location, If might be interesting to look at that.
Having the same issue with radio. Just replied to your post, Kalash.
Ok, we got a new phone from Amazon and it has the same problem. So, I believe this phone does not work very well with MVNOs.
I notice that the problem is that the phone cannot reconnect to the network after losing the signal. For example, if you go to an area with bad signal and, eventually the signal vanishes, the phone will not be able to reconnect to the carrier network. The phone only reconnects after reboot. Airplane mode does not solve the problem.
This does not happen with my Blu Life One X. So, I think it is a software problem.

That's not true on all mvnos' apparently. My wife's phone is on Consumer Cellular, an AT&T mvno and it's never done that. We've been in a no service area several times and it's always connected immediately when getting service back.
