hi Devs, im from Philippines and my phone is from Canada.. My phone is at&t sgh-i337. I went to cellphone shop to unlock my phone and it was successful. My problem is when i go to settings>about phone>status, in the IMEI:UNKNOWN and IMEISV is 12. when i manually press the dialler *#06# it appears IMEI: 12/.. Is it normal? thank you for the anwsers..
No it is not normal. It sounds like they messed up your efs in the process of unlocking it.
It will probably work fine since your wireless service provider is not blocking the generic IMEI

-I Can receive text and calls. but the unknown thing makes me annoyed.. Is my s4 will get bricked if i will not fix the imei sir?
It won't be bricked.
If you move to another wireless carrier that chooses to block that generic IMEI then you will not have service until you get it repaired.

Will it connect, to a different network with the appropriate SIM? sounds to me like a dodgy unlock to me

In that case, if it where me, I would use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit to root and Super CID your device that will SIM unlock the device permanently, the only proviso is it may erase all your data so make sure it's synced with the Google servers etc., etc

Sorry was offline last night, I would contact your provider and check that your handset isnt blacklisted, if AAHK worked and your sim-unlocked and not blacklisted try flashing a different radio?

I have the same problem as the OP.
Ive used the Ace Hack Kit and it still wont work with my SIM. I contacted my Network provider and they said my IMEI wasn't blacklisted or barred.
Any ideas?

Yes, Not all unlocked phones work with all sim cards. Some carriers lock their sims, so you have to ask for a new sim. The Hack Kit sim unlocks the devices but not the SIM restriction set by the carrier.

Yes, I was just thinking the same. I will with some more research on the subject.
It would be worth trying with a different sim. If one of your mates are on a different network try theirs otherwise pick up a free payg sim. At least you will know if it is the phone or the sim then.

Man, I has a low reputation here, but it isn't because I'm noob. It's because I don't post messages here and there ( I'm just trying to keep threads clean and read threads attentively). But I'm enough experienced in your problem. I'm in judicial process with my local shop now, due to exactly your problem. Forget about bad contacts, IMEI's, locks and other I've tried all means that I could find in the internet since 2011, every! And all of the threads connected with your problem begins with "bad metal contacts/ sim card changes/ locks/ unlocks/ roms/ radiomodules/ flashing etc". But It's just a faulty phone[!/B]. Belive me. All this threads ends with something like "any solutions? somebody? " There is no solution for this from at least 2010 year. Don't waste your time and bring your device back to your retailer if you can. I has evidences and prooflinks, and can give them later. Now, I just suddenly have found your post while serching new info in the internet for TODAYS judicial session. So don't reduce my "Thanks Meter" at least till you ask prooflinks. And I'm "beging" you: "just bring your phone back to retailer"
Added few minutes later:
1) I know that it is a bug in the OS-Hardware-controller_flash junction and we all won't find solution because it is very specific.
Here is the answer of t-mobile service. And the core phrase is "If you've messed around with apn settings or something that'll cause errors to, so try a factory reset just to make 100% sure there's a hardware issue." You do not need to fix so hard bug- they should make appropriate devices.

2) A guy whom t-mobile sent a new phone and admited it was manufacturer's bug

Hi
I want to unlock my galaxy s4 and I've tried the method of dialing *#0011# to enable service mode and unlock the phone from there, but when I dial the code nothing happens.
I've factory reseted my phone a few times, changed sim, done without a sim etc and nothing seems to work.
Strangely, only a few service codes actually work on my phone such as *#06#, but most others don't work
I'd really appreciate of anyone could tell me how to solve this problem
Thanks
I'm on t mobile and my phone won't show anything either I think it's to do with t mobile mate

Hi I purchased an s5 that was a few days old 2nd hand. I checked everything out on check mend and everything was fine, few days after purchase, phone will not connect to my network or the 02 network with any Sim. I spoke to 02 and they tell me the phone is not blocked or stolen. I also got a receipt from the guy I bought it from, but like I say it worked fine for a few days then this happened and now nothing. I managed to reg the phone with Samsung, although I do not know if I can get away with a warranty repair, as I am the 2nd to own it, even though it really was new when I purchased it. Anyway, any help would be Greatly appreciated.
The provided info was not enough to investigate the cause of the problem.
What you have done or installed or changed in these few days
Forgive me, I am new to this.
I have tried both 02 sim and a giff gaff(my provider) sim in the handset and nothing works. I am going to pick up another sim this morning to test that also(different carrier). Both Sims i have already tried work in other phones fine. The giff gaff sim when I put it into my daughters s3, works perfectly and calls can be made and received.
I was considering flashing another stock ROM just to eliminate software, I have opened a support ticket with giff gaff, who have said the sim is fully active.
Just trying to add bits that are useful here, the imei of the phone is fine and shows up as being there and not null, everything else on the phone seems fine also in terms of usage, I did have mobile data, which for some reason I can't seem to get now, but I did re write the APN, so will re put it to the original. Just won't register on network.
Anything I have missed or you need please ask. I am a noob, although I have flashed a few ROMs without issue after lots of reading. Should also add, the phone is completely stock, nothing messed with in any way. Sm-g900f. Xxu1ang2.
Thanks in advance.

Enter the code *#0011# and check the last line, IMEI CERT = PASS or something else?
APN is not required at this step (register to the network).

Hi, that code brings me am error" not registered on network" although I now have a data connection again on 02 and am at least getting 3 bars on the analogue signal, just not registering. I have just put in a Vodafone sim, which it recognises as it pop s up and allows me to select Vodafone pay as you go, but still does not register. Icon Just keeps spinning.
***********************UPDATE******************8
I just ran that code with the vodafone sim, it produced this exactly.

1- Is your phone rooted?
2- Enter *#2263# (*#BAND#) and see which option is currently selected?
3- Enter *#7465625# (*#SIMLOCK#) to check for the lock status?

Hi,the phone is not rooted, those codes you gave give "not registered on network", i have factory reset the device a couple of times now.It is actually my daughters phone and was working fine, she turned it off whilst at college and then turned it on and it seemed to not allow calls and texts from then after about a weeks use, 5-7 days.

Since you have factory reset and it does not help, try to relash the stock frimware.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to the Menu 'Firmware Browser' to download the desire firmware, and flash using Kies or Odin.

Hi, thanks for responding so quickly, that was my next move in all honesty, just seems weird. so there is nothing that stands out in the quote? my wife also has an s5 and where the quote from the first code given, hers said "available" where mine states limited., just thought i would add that incase it meant something.
Thanks for all the help.:good:
sorry for the delay, it would not let me reply to the other post as i am junior and there was a link in it, so i had to respond this way, excellent app by the way, many thanks for linking it. I am going to have to thank you, i do not know how, but i will have a search, you have been most helpful.
STOLEN
***************************************** U P D A T E *************************************************
I just ran another check mend report, after being told it was not blocked by 02, it now appears that it has been blocked and reported as lost / stolen.
Anyone any ideas on where to go with this?
I have receipt, 2 check mend reports, 1 clear and 1 not, clearly an insurance swindle going on, phone companies not interested
Thanks in advance.

So I bought this phone like 2 years ago and at first it worked perfectly fine.. as I went along with my life one day it suddenly says I'm not registered in the network.. so I search the internet and everyone says the same thing settings register in network bladibla etc so everything you can try by searching on google I have tried and for the life of me this phone doesn't want to work.. as long as I'm living in France, when I go out of France it works flawlessly.. so far Spain and Austria no problem whatsoever. But upon getting back to France good old not registered and when I register it doesn't matter cause I'm still not really registered as when I try to make a call it reminds me.. the data works.. so that's beyond confusing why do I have internet but I can't use a phone for what it was meant to be in the first place... making a phone call.. So on with the ramble, the IMEI is fine its the same as on the box and it shows me that in the phone also, the SIM is properly inserted.. the 5th or so I've tried to see if the phone feels like "fixing" randomly but nope. So internet.. what's up with my phone.. why does it work in Spain and Austria and probably any other country just not the one I live in... unfortunately.
Hello sheck your imei in deferent website! i think your note 4 is black listed in France but it's working outside!!!
Do you remember from were you bought it???

Hey, I didn't check the IMEI on any website but in the phone it shows me the same one that's on the box and under the battery so I assume that's fine.. and I bought it from a store. How do I check if its blacklisted in France? because when I got it it was working fine for a while and as I said I've changed sim card like 3 times and sometimes it works at the start for a while but then it dies off.. its so random I have no idea why
I got exactly the same issue 3 years ago!!!wen I call the call centre of my career they ask the imei number and they sheck it and mi smartphone was declared stolen.
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA-Developers mobile app
So I checked my IMEI on this site.. imeipro. info and it says it's blacklisted.. but that might be only in France? as it works in Spain and Austria.. so is there anything I can do as far fetched as it may be to change my IMEI or whatever I must do to be able to call with this phone in France?
Ok after some calls to Samsung and my service provider I have indeed bought a stolen phone like a moron now it's rooted but I need help changing the IMEI.. I tried installing Xposed framework to use the IMEI changer but I cant find one for marshmallow ARMv7 there's one on these forums somewhere but when I hit the links it says it has been moved or deleted... anyone know where I could find it?
Changing the IMEI in most countries is illegal, and as such is not to be discussed on XDA.
