I was actually wondering... If I'm network locked and I flashed a new stock ROM, would it remove the network lock? I don't think it will, but just want to confirm and to know the rationale behind all of it. I was thinking of rooting my S4 to get it to downgrade and have the network lock removed, but don't know about all these things. A lot of threads mention rooting for custom firmwares but not rooting in order to remove network lock afterwards.

Flashing any rom will not remove the network lock... but it can brick ur phone if u flashed a rom that is not intended for ur phone, if u want to get it unlocked ur best option for that is call ur current carrier to get the unlock code, it could cost u for the code but thats about the only way besides rooting and trying to unlock it that way after root.

I've unlocked my phone using an unlock code with one of those websites. It's a success. No problems. The problems I encountered recently had to do with the defective battery that came with my S4. What I'm curious to know now is if I can flash a ROM from my country where I got my phone... Just to make it like an unbranded phone. This is because when I boot up my phone, I see my carrier's logo and one of the wallpapers they replaced with their carrier logo as well. It's pretty annoying... So I wonder if I can flash a non-carrier unbranded ROM from my country to my phone. And do ai need to root to do so?

Hi, so basically I flashed a Jelly Bean ROM (4.3) over my KitKat ROM (4.4.2) and have since
permanently lost my signal. I've tried flashing a multitude of Modems and ROMs, yet I'm still unable to
obtain signal. My device shows emergency signal bars but that's it. When I go to assign my carrier, it comes up with some of
the major carriers here in the UK (including 3, which is my carrier) but my phone always fails to connect
and register on the network. I'm faced with the same problem when I select 'Select Automatically.'
I've been told that my problem lies with a corrupt EFS folder, but my IMEI still shows as it should (The same one on
the back of my phone.) I've tried using a different sim card but still the problem persists. When I booted up with a
different 3 sim one time, for a split second my carrier on the lock screen had changed from
'Emergency Calls Only' to '3', but changed back to the former immediately after. I'm yet to try and use a sim from a
different carrier. Any suggestions?
You cant downgrade android 4.4.2 to android 4.3 coz they use different bootloaders. You will have to flash again android 4.4.2 for recover the signal and solve ur problems :highfive:
Reflash kitkat 4.4.2 as u can not downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.
Maybe the IMEI Certificate is damaged, and need repair, try *#0011#, if at the end of the list you see IMEI CERTI: FAIL then you have to take your device for repair, if show PASS then try the latest modem

I've tried flashing 4.4.2 ROMs through recovery but no progress. I've tried flashing the
official 4.4.2 ROM through Odin but still it doesn't work. Also, in Service Mode,
IMEI Certi shows as NA :/ does that mean I'd have to get it repaired?
Yep, take the phone to a repair shop, is the only way out, i say because i fix that a lot on my shop

Damn didn't want to have to get it fixed :/ do you (or anyone else for that matter) happen to know how much a repair would cost?
well on my repair shop, the cost to the client is 50$ for EFS v1 and 60$ for EFS v2, and now you have EFS v2, the cost in different country is not the same as you know, so ask for the repair prices

I "killed my phone for more than 4 hours a couple of nights ago. Long story short I was trying to do the same thing, "downgrade fro kitkat for personal reasons. The phone wouldn't boot up, and couldn't get it to go to download mode. Afternseveral tries it finally got into doenload mode and I was able to reflash with original/official kitkat, and it works just fine, the onky thing is that I keep seeing that imei certi : na status on the service mode screen and can't navigate to other screens within service mode. Im trying to sim unlock it using that method. I'm not sure that I did anything special, just try to reflash again with official kitkat and hopefully it will stick...
Wen i dial *#06# my imei is fine but Wen i dail *#0011* i also get imei /na my phone doesn't have any signal also I don't know what caused the problem cause i got the phone second hand also on 4.4 2 stock, could this be the problem y I can't get any signal at all? I also tried flashing custom roms and stock kk ROM but still no signal help please
Hello
I have a samsung s5 but unfortunately locked on a1,
how do I cellphone unlock simcards for all?
thank you
I didnt get it. Did u accidently lock ur sim card on it? Like entering a wrong PIN code? If so you can enter its PUK/PUK2 code to unlock.
Or is it locked differently? Like network locking?

no no
phone is locked to austria A1
I want T-mobile sim card but austria reingeben then is network lock
Got it! So basically you want to unlock your phone to any network provider rather than just Austria A1.
Alright so there are two ways.
Installing another firmware for your phone or by entering a code that works. Im not sure about the code for S5 but its better if you download an official firmware for the phone and flash your device. This will work seamlessly and perfect enough to use on any network you desire.
For instance, download the stock firmware for s5 global and update/flash it on ur phone.
I must let you know that it can and will flag the samsung knox. Meaning that your warranty would be void but you will still get official updates and use the phone on any network u desire around the globe.
Plz press the thanks button if it helps

Thanks for reply.
i did.i tried UK BTU firmwire before Sintel .Setup was successful.But it didn't start properly. also There was no basband info in about devices.
Should i try the new BTU firmwire?
When i got my phn , it came with xsp (France) firmwire.I also tried that after btu.that didn't work.same problem happened.
and then i flashed Sintels one.
I suggest you btu latest G1 because with Singapore G2 I face same problem of from call settings if I select additional settings, I was getting error no network/sim card error, otherwise all works fine, but after flash btu G1, all fine may modem was matching with my country.

thank you.
That really worked like a charm for me
Ive been unable to dial out or receive calls on my note 3 since rooting it. I have tried everything I can think of to get it resolved but have been unable to do it. This is not a problem with my mobile phone provider as I have tried my friends sims and they dont work either. I have installed the stock rom and reset factory defaults but I am still unable to use it.
I will pay someone to fix this for me now as it has now gotten out of hand! I have sent it to samsung and they say the device has been rooted and will not touch it! Any help would be much appreciated!!
Many thanks
Andy
P.s. If you can fix it, I will pay!!
Did you lose your IMEI after rooting? Or can you still register on your network? Also did you trip knox by rooting your phone?
Please help. My network doesn't work on custom rom but works on official firmware.

Thanks for your reply Steven1962. The IMEI Number is still intact though I am not able to register on the network. I did trip knox when I rooted my device, I just sent it to samsung for repair and they wouldn't touch it as the knox was tripped.

So if I understand correctly you are prompted to enter your PIN after reboot but you still can't register on your network even though the PIN gets accepted?

I am not actually asked for a PIN. I do believe it registers to the network as it says im conected to Virgin, I just cant dial out or receive calls.

I think if it doesn't ask for a PIN it can not really register to the network. What firmware are you on currently? What's the version of your modem?
Flash last stock from your country with Odin ....

Yes, check your baseband version.
And flash the stock firmware for your device may help.

Apologies for the late reply, I have been waiting for my phone to come back from Samsung. How do I know which baseband version I need for my phone?

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get info about your device (CSC, baseband, etc...)
Then open Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the stock firmware for your device.
You can flash full firmware, or extract the baseband (modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin) and flash them separately.
Hi everyone,
vndnguyen, I'll address this question to you but hopefully help the original poster too.
I ran firmware browser in the above app but neither the vodafone nor btu (does btu mean unbranded?) version match my device. My bootloader, baseband and pda all end NC2 and my csc NA4. Even on Sammobile I cannot find that.
So my question is does it matter which one I install? If I install any vodafone uk offering will I be ok? If I install any uk btu version will it just be stock minus the bloat?
I've tried a few custom roms but always seem to head back to stock so wanted to flash pure stock if that makes any sense.
