hello guys
i'm in egypt and purchased samsung galaxy note 3 from ebay
the phone should be unlocked .. but when putting my egyption local sim i'm getting message " sim network unlock pin "
the region lock sticker is not on box (removed) by the seller
box sticker say : its international version
sticker under battery say : sm-n900 (UD) .. i don't know what UD mean
box information wrote in Portugal language ! made in Vietnam !
now i don't know if my phone is us or Europe region lock ! if it's international then should it be locked to network or not !
help me please
Type *#1234# and check what is the CSC.
Hi, you can install the app called "PHONE INFO" from Play Store, it was developed by vndnguyen. It can help you to check your Note3 is genuine or fake, and it can also provide you a lot of infomation about your phone.
Hope that helps

I've Boughten an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005 on ebay. To use for straight talk in the United States. The first sim card i had in it was a normal sized sim card that i had cut (instead of micro) And after fiddling this sim card had worked from 4-5 days. Then i started to get the error message "No service" and "Not registered on Network" I had figured the sim was probably the reason to why i was not being allowed to call or message. So i bought another brand new micro sim card. And then put that in (Again with straight talk) and i am still unable to call or message. I have checked my imei number and it is the same as the one on the back of the phone. I have tried to re-register on the network within the settings on the phone. With no luck whatsoever. I have noticed that the CSC is not correct for the united states. And in hopes of fixing it i rooted and installed a custom rom. (IMEI is still the same)
If someone could please help...I am Stumped[/FONT]

Given the details that you have provided so far the most likely scenarios that I see are:
1) there is a mechanical problem on the SIM contact
2) the seller was on some form of a contract and has reported the phone stolen, so the IMEI is now blocked on some or all carriers.
DO NOT MINGLE WITH THE FIRMWARE at this point (and also disable any automatic updates of the firmware).
Also if you want further technical info (and not just guesswork) you should post the output from *#1234#

It really does depend on the issues xclub has brought up.
If it was me, I'd rule out SIM issue (the card itself) due to having a replacement, although it could be an issue with the SIM Tray.
And if it is used, then yes it is possible that it has been blocked by the original owner.
EDIT : Do you guys in the US have an IMEI checker for blocked IMEI's etc? in Europe we do it's called CHECK MEND.. Might be worth having a look or alternatively give your network a ring, they'll know for sure.

I Contacted Straight talk and they confirmed that my imei was not blocked. And if i were to download say this firmware sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=XSI#firmware would that make any difference?
Post your output after entering this in phone dialer

Ok so you have the same firmware as me, I am using BTU which is UK (I am UK) - So your CSC does indeed need changed to match you for US use - -- Firstly does your network support the available frequency required? (do you have LTE?) - If so you can change you CSC to your required region But another factor --- are you aware of region lock? has it been disabled that you know of? - this could cause some issues if it hasn't been deactivated - I'm not sure when changing CSC/firmware if it reactivates region locking or not
EDIT: I think only T-Mobile supports the N9005 in the US ( I could be wrong) --- Need a US user to chime in here I think to be 100% sure!!
Going with an Unknown carrier on CSC/FW- May not solve it

I could try it tho. I'll tell you the results once i finish. And Verizon And At&t are used by straight talk. And it looks like they both have the note 3. And when i purchased this phone, It said that region lock was disabled

Don't see why not, plenty of people are buying them and plenty selling them.
majority of users have no idea what Knox is tbh, it's ultimately up to you if you disclose this to them or not.

That looks like EU version. Since somewhere else you mentioned that you rooted then the next thing to try is Region Lock Away:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
since the phone might now be "hit" by the EU region lock (an even simpler test would be to insert an EU SIM just to see if it registers on some network for roaming). If RegionLockAway fixes things you can then see what version of firmware you want in order to get LTE from your carrier.
If you want to sell the phone - being rooted might even be a plus, but having Knox 0x1 is certainly a major minus.
I did get region unlock and it did not work. And when i try to install the unknown firmware i am unable to flash it with odin i get all sorts of errors (I tried two of the unknowns) BTW thanks for the help
Please help, I flashed it to Android 5.0 and I did root for it and used region unlock app and still I face the same issue, please help me

Hi All!
I am having a problem with a Galaxy S5 Duos (SM-G900FD) bought used recently. Both IMEI numbers seem legit 355206********* /01 and 355207********* /01, the only difference to the numbers printed on the back is after the slash, saying 355206********* /3 and 355207********* /1. Can this be the source of the problem? I have tried to flash different SM-G900FD firmwares with odin, but getting the same result. Factory reset numerous times. Everything works fine, but when trying to make a call I got the message: "Not registered on network" despite full bars on the notification bar. The phone even sees the operators, but cannot register on the network. Instead of the operator name there is: "Emergency calls only". Can it be, that I am not having the right modem version? It`s SSN is G900FDGSMH I am also noot sure which region is the phone from originally. Any help would highly appreciated.
i heard that there are some problems with S5 duos but
try to flash the software with the same CSC code n PDA version n CSC version, install phone infoapp from playstore if u dont know your CSC n PDDA
http://postimage.org/
Better get a replacement
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for your reply!
As currently installed Phone info says:
Original CSC code: SER
Firmware`s CSC code: SER
Active CSC code: SER
CSC country: Russia
CSC Country ISO: RU
Product Code: SM-G900FZKVSER <- this is different to the one written on the back which is: SSN: G900FDGSMH, but I did not find a firmware for this number.
Still not registering on network tough.
@sandeeppathak007: I will try in a Samsung shop, but the Knox is 0x1 (4), so I guess the warranty is void.
Speak with your SIM provider
Or if you know it's working you can try to enable flight mode and then disabling it.
Post this on sammobile forums,they might help u to find the best software,btw yeah did u try another sim ??
or contac your service provider and see,as i heard there are some network problem in S5 duos
best way is to replace

Greetings,
In most countries, it is unlawful to change IMEI. In XDA land, it is forbidden to discuss this process.
Thread closed.
Dear All,
Few months I bought a Samsung S6 Edge+ which is from a unknown person. It was a T-mobile package. But, now it's imei is blacklisted. So it's showing "null imei" & "baseband unknown". & It's can't recognize any network.
So, I am asking for your help. Can anyone let me know the solution for these problems, please?
Waiting for your answer.
Thanks
It's illegal to change the IMEI in most country's regardless of how you came to have the phone its technically not yours
