My brother bought for me a Galaxy note 10.1 from Globe carrier when he was being in Phillipine, and it was unlocked. This tablet still worked well until I take its sim card out, and use it for my 3G USB. This USB seemed to be broken down, so that my computer was frozen every time I plug it in. I put my sim back into galaxy note 10.1, and a problem occurred. My Note 10.1 cannot register on network even I see a full signal bar; meanwhile, a notification showed that "the selected network is unavailable". When I try to make a call, it's appeared to be "Not registered on network". At first, I think this problem can simply solved by changing the sim card, but the real tragedy is that this problem continue occur regardless how many sims I buy from many different network providers. Those sims still work on other devices, hence this error certainly is from my tablet. Its firmware is stock 4.1.1 and rooted, I have tried to solve this error by reset factory, unroot, change to another rom, but they're all useless.
When I visited Samsung service center, they told me that my note was relocked. Would anyone mind showing me how to unlock it again:laugh:
Sorry for my bad English! Thank you one million time:highfive:
May be you should flash some other rom which is not region locked like German, again very few users have a locked note so doubt you will get an answer over here
A suggestion try note 2 or S3 forum they are built similarly see if you can find a post on how to unlock it I am pretty sure it will work on this to (Warning dont flash S3 or Note 2 rom )

Ok, a long story short is I got a black Rogers Galaxy S4 locally.
I put in my sim card and the bars showed up instantly, but no 3g/hspa etc... it also says for emergency calls only. It clearly is a rogers device with all of the rogers bloatware, it came with the box and accessories, imeis match...
I tried everything I could think of. I tried factory reset, hard reset, working sim, new working sim, battery pulls, apn settings manually... it is not making a lot of sense right now. Aside from something wrong on the hardware side... but the really weird part is it can see the sim.... the bars etc... I try connecting to rogers as the carrier, it says registered on network instantly BUT the ! triangle comes up and says it cannot connect to carrier (rogers) try again later.
So please XDA work your magic and help me out here... if physically possible.... because getting taking is one thing, but I cannot even warranty it currently.
Also, I asked rogers if there was any block on the imei (blacklisted, stolen etc). They said they see no problems with it or my account, sim works great in other devices fine.
Nothing?
Hello mates, first excuse my English, I'm Spanish.
I got an error with my note 3 and as they do.
The phone worked perfectly with my old SIM, coverage problems 4g I was recommended to make a duplicate, and that could be error SIM that was ancient (tapeworm from Note 1) I made a duplicate card, and from that We do not recognize my SIM, and this works correctly in other mobile. I can not call or do anything with this, when I remain canceled the duplicate.
The original card (before duplicating) recognizes it, asks me the pin, but the new card, and other SIM from other companies do not recognize me. I've been testing, and if you ask me old PIN cards (before 4g) so I discard the reader and possible failure. I did wipes, I returned to put the original stock Samsung rom, I have set an unofficial, I have restored the factory, and the cell remains the same. Comment that the phone is bought from someone else, and not to what extent can be blocked by theft or by default. When I look out the IMEI usual, so I have not lost. In short, do not recognize any of the new SIM, including mine, and I am now without mobile since 4 days ago, and no one in any Spanish forum, or shops, or my company has been able to give me an explanation.
You have any idea?
Thank you very much to all!
I have a SM-G903W phone (Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Canada version). It was a replacement phone I got for free from my dad who is on Rogers. He bought a new phone and used it and gave me the replacement phone. I assumed it was locked to Rogers and called them for the unlock code but they wouldn't give it to me because the replacement phone had never been on their network, and they have a 90 day policy. There's a local tech shop that offered unlocking services, so I had it done there. It worked great in different countries.
I recently moved to the states and the phone worked fine for a week under UltraMobile/T-Mobile. Then somehow one morning I turned on the phone and it was saying "Invalid SIM, enter sim network unlock pin". The phone somehow locked itself again! I called the tech shop I used in Canada and they gave me the unlock pin for my phone. I entered it and it said "Network unlock request unsuccessful". Now, I've read on this site that even with the correct pin this error can sometimes come up, and there's a bunch of dial codes people posted. None of them work for my phone, they were all written for Galaxy S5 or Galaxy S4. I haven't found anyone address this issue on the S5 Neo.
I asked the tech shop what I can do and they said if I bring it in to their store they can hard unlock it for me, but I'm not going back to Canada for a couple of months. I haven't found any local unlock stores here except one which wanted $100 for it, and the store seemed sketchy. I called Rogers to see if I can get an unlock code from them, maybe it'll be different, but they claim my IMEI isn't in their database! I'm not sure how that can be (see next post)
What can I do? I don't have any custom roms installed, although I rooted the phone in an attempt to get it unlocked again. It's running Android 6.0.1
Update: I purchased from Rogers the unlock code, and they gave me the same one the tech shop gave me...there goes $50. On the bright side I've confirmed I have the right unlock code, but the phone still says "Network unlock request unsuccessful". Would flashing a stock rom help?
EDIT: I flashed a stock rom and it didn't help (used MTA-G903WVLU1BPF1-20160602043310), 6.0.1. I don't suppose a 5.x version would do much difference?
Hi I have had similar experience with network unlock and generally I find that the original stock firmware will work so yes I imagine that the 5.x will help
Hi,
Did you ever get a solution to this?
I have had similar situation except I updated mine with smart switch and now cant get a network.
Ive been searching likead amd camt find a answer just the same reset networl ect and they aint working.
Amyone reply if you know as I dont want to start a new thread when ones already up.
Thanks.
Hey guys, I'm having an issue that I can't seem to resolve on my own. I recently broke the screen on my Note 5 so I decided to use my old Note 4 until the Note 8 comes out. Today I took out the phone, placed my simcard into it and started it up. I thought everything was fine until I tried making a call where it just gives me a pop up notification that I'm not registered on the network.
The phone isn't locked, bought it new unlocked. No custom roms (ever), IMEI is correct (naturally). So far I've reset the phone to factory settings to see if that would help to no avail.
If manually choose a carrier manually (both searching and choosing one takes longer than usual) I get a new message "No Service Selected Network (Telia N) not available".
The phone worked prior to me putting it away, my sim card works in other phones. Any suggestions or am I up sh**s creek without a paddle?
take out the simcard and try an emergency call (in my country it's a crime to playing with it. But without the card nobody can catch you.)
if the message appears again = it seems HW related problem
if the emergency call is working = it seems your phone restricted by the carrier and you need to ask the customer service why. Maybe a mistake
Thanks, it appears to work without sim card dialling 112. I'll email and call my service provider tomorrow.
Hi All
I'm at my wits end with this Samsung S8 phone, Bought a 2nd hand S8, was working fine, but I noticed the internal storage was only showing 9.63GB
Had a look on here and the solution was to stock flash the phone. I did that, all fine, storage was back to normal....BUT since then I can't make or receive any calls.
I get the error "phone not allowed" and it won't connect to ANY mobile network.
I've tried loads of different suggestions
Sim is OK in another phone
Re Flashed (numerous times)
Andriod 7 and 8
Sim and Phone OK with three network
But still have the issue....
Can anyone help me? or push me in the right direction?
Cheers
Tommy
You probably tried this, but try booting into safe mode. If it works then there is a software problem. If the problems persist in safe mode you probably gotta contact Samsung.
Are you sure the phone is unlocked?

Is the phone blacklisted? if it is blacklisted then it will not connect to service. Your SIM wil work perfect in any other phone.
Hate to say this but it does sound like your phone has been blacklisted.
You can check with one of the online IMEI blacklists.
If your phone shows Phone not allowed and a code like MM#6, it usually is an indication that it was blacklisted.
Check your phone's IMEI on a blacklist checker like http://imeipro.info/
The previous user most likely had the firmware and baseband messed around with and once you flashed stock it reverted to true state, it's highly advised to get back in contact with the person, where was the phone bought? A shop? Online?

Yeah tried that , still the same
If one is in possesion of a S8 that says "Phone not allowed", and the phone is blacklisted, is there any way of fixing that?
I have the same issue here..
I bought an S8 from Manchester last summer, and I started using it last week, (because my other phone worked longer than expected) and after I gave the phone the Network key that the previous user wrote down for me, then that message appeared.
So im stuck with this almost completely new brick aswell...
Any options at all?

The only real solution here is to either go abroad and sell the phone, or sell it to someone who is going abroad. The phone will work outside of the UK.
It does sound as your phones imei Nr is blocked in UK.. Probably the person who sold you the phone, stole it somewhere.
I have the same problem on my Samsung S7 now in Brazil.
In Canada, on Canadian carriers, everything is fine, and if I put the Canadian SIM in there everything is fine. But the minute I plug in Brazilian SIM card, boom, Phone Not Allowed message comes up and it won't connect to any of the Brazilian networks. Brand new SIM, works just fine on another LG phone (and any other phone I tried).
The phone is unlocked, I even checked with a few pieces of software and there is no network lock on it either.
I've got the master & network unlock codes from Samsung, but have no way of inputting them as no prompts for those come up when I insert the Brazilian SIM.
I checked the IMEI, it is definitely clean and not blacklisted.
Heck, I even rooted the phone to see if that would help, and still nothing.
Any idea what else to try or what else might be causing this goddamn message to pop up?!
I solved my S8.
Blacklisted on all uk networks except Three network.
Works perfect.
