The shop you purchased from have to register your mobile to local carrier if not it cannot be used. I think they register your mobile using IMEI then it recognizes the sim card you put in then you will be able to get a signal.
Or the phone could be stolen and it's IMEI has been blocked by the networks. But if you bought it new that's highly unlikely.

This was bought brand new and hopefully it's not stolen or blacklisted. So guys thinks I should tell the person that whom I bought it from to try get it the IMEI registered to the carrier or might need the carrier's SIM card to activated.

Sorry to be posting as soon as I registered, but I'm in a hurry to get this done with or else I might get into a fight with the guy who sold me the Nexus One (he claimed its unlocked)...
Anyway I bought the phone, put in my sim-card, tried installing my contacts from the SIM and it Locks.
I use any other SIM card and it works, mine doesn't...However I unlock the phone using the steps provided in the forum...Now I can install any SIM on it without any issues EXCEPT for MY sim-card which had already been locked...
I tried getting a new SIM from my provider with the same phone number but i get the same result - locked...
What do you guys suggest I do?
I would really appreciate any help guys...
Thanks a lot in advance
I thought the Nexus One is sold unlocked. You are using a GSM sim, right?
Yeah - But i guess the guy who sold it to the store had already bought it with a contract from T-Mobile ...
Yeah im using GSM sim...
He could have bought it with a contract from (insert chosen deity here) and it wouldn't make a difference. The Nexus One is SIM free no matter where you get it.
Are the SIM you've tried that work on a different network to you? Perhaps your network has blocked it's IMEI after being lost/stolen/part of an insurance claim.

I tried other sims from the same network as mine and they all work except for mine! very weird...ughhh
Old crap sim probably, not all sim cards are made alike, even though they look like it. Ask your provider for a new sim.

First of all check that your IMEI is the same as the one on the sticker under the battery.
If not your IMEI is borked somehow, search here on xda for IMEI restore/repair.
If the IMEI is the same as on the sticker contact your provider and ask them if that IMEI is blocked on their network.
Cheers.

Is it normal that the phone don't work for two different provider ? if IMEI is blocked, it must be blocked in one provider not two ?
I call one of the provider, they tell me that the phone is blacklisted. What can I do ? Is there an other solution ?

Of course they block all of the providers. It would not be much usefull to block a IMEI if you just could choose antother provider, right?
If your IMEI is blocked and you have bought the phone second hand it is probably reported stolen. If it is like that you should hand it over to the police like mentioned before.

Probably a stolen phone as mentioned before It's best to hand it over to the police so they can return it to their rightful owner. Not sure what you can do with the guy who sold you the thing, though.
This may help some of you who want to use your Nexus 7 with Verizon but need to put it on a new line rather than swapping the SIM with another device. As you all know by now, Verizon won't willingly set up a new tablet line for you with a Nexus 7's IMEI number due to the fact that the Nexus 7 isn't yet "certified" for use on Verizon's network.
I went into a Verizon store and grabbed the IMEI number off of a floor-model Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. I then called Verizon customer service to set up the new tablet line. I gave them the IMEI number that I got from the Tab 2, which obviously passed the "is it approved for Verizon's network" test. They then set up the new line and sent me a micro SIM card via FedEx. When I got the micro SIM card today, I put it in my Nexus 7, went online to My Verizon, and did "Activate or Switch Device". I selected the new tablet line, then it asked me for the SIM ID# and the IMEI for the device. I gave it the SIM ID number from the card they sent me and the IMEI number from the Tab 2 floor model. I then turned on the Nexus 7 and after a little bit of a wait, it activated with no problem at all.
It's worth noting that you CANNOT do this in a Verizon store. They'll insist on seeing the tablet before they'll give you a SIM. The only way is to call and set up the line over the phone through Verizon customer service. Also, make sure you use an IMEI number from a tablet, otherwise it'll set up as a phone line and charge you for a phone plan.

When I got the SIM card today, I put the SIM in my Nexus 7, went online and put in the SIM ID# and the IMEI from the floor model. It activated fine and my N7 is now working fine on Verizon. I think they only use the IMEI number to verify that your device is "approved" for Verizon's network. Once it gets past that, you're in the clear.

Brilliant. Screw VZW!
Glad you got it to work. I love using mine on Verizon.
Its there a difference using Verizon stead att or T-Mobile ? That you have to work around to use Verizon

So is the only association for billing purposes your sim to your account or is there also an association of your imei to your account, let's say for 3g data. I know the nexus doesn't do 3g on CDMA, but did the Samsung? Put another way, is there anyway the store demo Samsung's data usage is now counted on your account, in addition to your nexus data usage?

No, it's only based on SIM card. The IMEI is only used to verify compatibility and to tell Verizon's system what kind of device you have.

So how does billing for the 3g side (for the Samsung) work since it was my understanding the SIM is only used for LTE? I am not disputing what you are saying, just trying to reconcile my understanding of how things work with how the billing is implemented. It is possible my understanding of how the different pieces are working is deficient. On CDMA we've never had SIMs and just had embedded IMEI/MEID. Only with LTE did we get SIMs but it was my understanding the SIMs were only used for the LTE side and the old 3g stuff still used the IMEI/MEID. When I activate a 3G-only CDMA phone all I enter is the IMEI/MEID, there is no SIM to enter. The billing in that case must be done by IMEI/MEID or my data usage would never show up. I am just wondering if there are 2 phases to the activation, associating the SIM with your account for LTE data and associating the MEID with your account for 3g data.
Nice way to go around the idiotic process that Varizon have put in place. It just seems that there is absolutely no logic behind the process. From a business stand point I "as a business owner" would like a customer to pay me more for for new service of a tablet for example. It really should not matter what the tools used are as long as I am getting my payments on time and my customer is satisfied with my service.

The SIM ID still carries over to the CDMA side. It's a software bridge in Verizon's system.

He said the Galaxy was already associated with an account, referring to the IMEI I gave him that I got from the floor model.

Hey Community,
I have Samsung SM-G935F with one Sim IMEI , its possible make new IMEI (Dual Sim) ?
if thats work maybe can get SM-G935F -> SM-G935FD for Dual Sim , work nice if somebody cracked that :victory:
sorry no, imei is a hardware issue not software. currently you can not make a SM-G935F into a SM-G935FD, there a thread discussing the reasons why.
here is the thread

that is how your provider identifies the phone, it is burned into the eprom chip as which cannot be accessed by users. there have been cases where some roms have changed the imei to generic but that causes the provider not to recognize the phone.
Your imei is broadcast to the cell towers when you turn on the phone and when you make calls.

Then I don't believe there is anything you can currently do unless you find out the original operator and contract them for a NUC code.

You realize you are putting this thread on a section called "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development" when theres another section named "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers" clearly more suited for this thread right?
And for your question i don't think you can solve it unless you contact the seller and ask what's the original carrier so you can go to the websites where they unlock your phone via a code.
I have the operator, when I go on the website of the operator for ask the code, it's impossible to have a code, and sorry for post the message in a wrong section, I thought with the root of the phone, everything will be unlocked
