hi all,
short story: Friend on T-Mobile needed a new phone. I bought them a Unlocked Americas S5 (SM-G900H) on amazon. They received it today. Swap sim cards from their damaged s4. Have them set it to global in network settings, have them change the ADN, and a couple other settings to get it to work on T-Mobile. Find out what was sent was a unlocked Verizon S5 model (SM-G900V) according to their system info screen. They also see Verizon apps installed and whatnot, and bootloader. Either way, they are able to receive data, text, calls. And they are getting 4GLTE just fine (shows and detcts it as tmobile, and they can download and browse the net, no issues), not HPSA+. Work like a charm as far as data and voice go.
However, only one issue.... they keep getting a "SIM Card is from a unknown source" warning on the taskbar that's just annoying. I had them root their phone, install supers, and install a root file browser after finding some information to freeze or remove "vzwphoneservice.apk" which seems to fix this same issues for others on older android phones. Problem is, its not there... not in system\app and not in system\priv-app where it should be. They use 4.4.2 kitkat. So I check my own note 3, which is also Verizon and has 4.4.2 kitkat. Im rooted, check same folders, that file is not in either of those directories.
To me, its apparent Verizon has changed the filename. Just trying to find out what it is so I can freeze or remove it to get rid of that Verizon "SIM Card from unknown source" warning.
Any suggestions or ideas? would be greatly appreciated

Confirm that both vzwphoneservice.apk and vzwphoneservice.odex are renamed or removed. You may also need to rename VzwController.apk and VzwController.odex and clear your phone cache (from recovery mode).
These are Verizon setup files and it is looking for an encrypted SIM that CDMA carriers like to use. The above should vanquish the message unless you have really rotten luck vis a viz Verizon having added yet another Kitkat setup package.

did you ever figure this out ?
One post wonders. New members who solicit our help to solve their issue. But they don't have the courtesy to even let us know how the situation resolved. Perhaps it's an outright waste of time to try helping people with less than n posts.

Welcome to XDA.
It would be good if you started a new thread though, rather than hijack someone else's thread on a similar topic.
Tell us what you tried looking for (filenames, where.. using what app, etc. and what phone model you have.. as many details as you can) and lots of us will try to help you out.

I am continually getting a message requiring me restart the phone. I have reinstalled the firmware with no positive results. I think the sim slot is okay. My phone is out of warranty. I am attaching a screen shot. I get it several times a day but no clear trigger. Any ideas?
AT&T galaxy s4 i377 nb1 stock rooted.
Hi there,
First of all you must give us more details about your device/ROm and so on for a better answers or pointing.
Second, did you try it to contact your operator for change that SIM? Maybe its damaged.
Good luck

Hello everyone,
Sorry if this was posted already - I am typing this up in between other projects and I wanted to put something out here so I wouldn't forget. This last weekend, I purchased a used Galaxy S5 CDMA phone branded by US Cellular. I searched and searched for a way to unlock it but I was not able to find anything that worked for me. My phone is currently running Android 4.4.2 and none of the *# dial codes would do anything for me. Finally I was near a local US Cellular today so I brought my phone in and they unlocked the SIM for me so I can use it with other carriers. I haven't had a chance to go through the phone yet after the unlock, but I plan on looking at it tonight when I get home to find out if I can figure out how it was unlocked so I can share that info with anyone on the site who would like to unlock their SM-G900R4. I'm hoping that during their unlocking process, the hidden menus were left visible so I can look at the phone's file structure. I'll report back as soon as I know more.

Just a quick follow up... I didn't have a chance to go through my phone extensively last night, but I did see something that may or may not be of interest. When I got my phone back after being unlocked, there was an icon for mceFramework. When I clicked on it, it ran in the upper corner of the phone and when I swiped down it said it would be uninstalled. From what I have read about it, it has really nothing to do with the unlocking of the phone though.
Depending on what time I get home tonight will determine if I get to really dig into the phone tonight or not. I'm hoping there is something I will be able to find that will be useful. The US Cellular phone is a bit different though, as I mentioned before regarding the *# codes... No matter what *# codes I try, they do not work... even something as simple as *#060# does nothing on my phone - even after being unlocked. If I find something, I'll report back.

Hello, I came across this thread and just thought I'd share how I was able to unlock my Galaxy s5 Mini (US Cellular). I tried just about everything, but what finally worked was simply flashing the stock rom which can be found at the sammobile site. Use 'Odin', instructions included on the website.

Hello -- stock rom by model number. I think in most cases this is just stock Android for the carrier of specified model, minus bloatware and network lock. Well, I correct myself -- there may be some bloatware, but certainly less than what was there after performing the factory reset. The link to 'sm-g900r4' rom is at sammobile(dotcom), firmwares, search for model number -- and download latest version.
In my case, phone model is 'sm-g800r4' (US Cellular). Everywhere I looked online suggested that I had to contact US Cellular and request instructions for unlocking, but they will only do this if you have the original sim card. So, I finally flashed the stock rom using Odin, following very basic instructions (included on the rom site). After flashing, I still had the US Cellular splash screen, but my verizon sim suddenly worked with the device. Next step for me -- root and replace that ugly US Cellular splash screen with the gorgeous lollipop boot animation. Very nice.
If you need assistance with specific instructions let me know, and I can provide a quick summary.
Simple instructions, great site to join for US Cell users.

Did you ever figure out a way to unlock your phone?
Hey guys, I come here very often and now I'm going to have to open this thread because I've seen absolutely no posts about my problem..
My S6 Edge+ is currently unable to make any calls and I don't know why..:crying: the strange part is that I can still send text messages and use my SIM's mobile data... Another weird thing is that whenever I reboot the phone, my WiFi passwords are forgotten..
Can any one help me? I'm currently running android 6.0.1 and I am considering downgrading it to 5.0.1 to see if it solves the issue...
Still needing help..
No one?? I really need some help since I've tried 4 different roms and modems ano nothing seems to work....
Have you wiped everything and then flashed a stock rom?

Which variant do you have and which MM firmware did you flash? Check your modem, imei, network operator etc and provide that info here.
Also wifi password IMO related with
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
this line in build.prop. I would suggest you to add this line under 'ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES' in build.prop but assume you havent rooted your device. If have, add it.
Powered by Elektrik
I've downgraded to 5.1.1 and it didn't work, I have the international version of the s6 edge plus and now I'm looking for a new ROM to test to see if I can solve it.. I've checked my imei in two different websites and on imei.info it comes clear, but the other site gives me a blacklisted warning, which makes me think since I bought it online second hand... it probably was reported stolen or lost and now it's blocked... which ise rather inconvenient. .
If I go to SIM Card Status it says "Not Available" everywhere, but on imei information it says my imei and on IMEISV the value is 01. It's network unlocked and right now I'm about to flash a new ROM, probably stock..
Hello, I have the same problem at boot after I receive the call when making a call nothing remains of numbering you have a solution? thank you cordially guillaume
Hi guys, I know this is a really old thread but I'm here just to say that the problem was with the IMEI, it was blacklisted..
I changed it with a friend and then everything worked fine..
Thanks for you help mates!

Hello all,
I recently unlocked my Moto E4 Qualcomm Sprint Version (Perry) and flashed Lineage OS 14.1. The OS is working but I am getting no service, and when I first set up the phone it say "Insert Sim Card" even though there is no sim tray. I have tried other ROMs but it the same problem for them also. Some things I have noticed is that there is no radio and Airplane mode keeps switching to in even when I turn it off. Also when I attempt to call people it says turn of Airplane mode even though it is off. I have searched some other forums on this topic since i am not the only one with this problem but none of the solutions worked for me. I have also tried creating new APNs and tried some of the LTE fixes but those also didn't work for me. Is there anyway to fix this "No Service" problem?
Thanks!

I tried flashing Jason M.'s rom on my XT1766 (boost) but I couldn't get my GSM SIM cards to work.
I tried with FreedomPop, Google Fi, and Simyo (a European carrier) with different behaviors.
The FreedomPop and Google Fi SIM cards are not detected and the Mobile network settings are greyed out.
The Simyo (European carrier) SIM card is detected, after unlocking it with its PIN, I got the following message "SIM card is locked. Emergency call only". In the other hand the Mobile network settings are working, but can't add new APNs, message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user".
Thank you

Hi Jason,
Thank your quick response, this is the output. Regarding the default APNs, there are no APNs, it is empty. (tinypic.com/r/jhtx0l/9)
Thank you
@golouse first off, I asked for that while running stock. That is from LineageOS. Second, sorry I didn't specify, next time please copy and paste the output into a text file and post it that way or post it on Hastebin.com and post a link. Please edit that post and remove the getprop because all that makes things load slower for some users. i also should have mentioned you might want to remove your phone number and anything else like your imei.
Edit: stock apns are in system/etc/apns_conf.xml
Edit2: just copy the whole apns_conf.xml and upload it

Cool. Thanks. I'll see what I can do asap, but If you have an XT1766 I was under the impression that they were only CDMA capable. You mentioned a European carrier also and I also thought that Europe only had GSM carriers. Where did you purchase your phone? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Officially the XT1766 is a CDMA phone but it is GSM capable. Squids2 LineageOS 14.1 builds made the phone connecting to GSM networks, calls, and data.
I purchased several XT1766 in the U.S for my family, then installed Squids2's LineageOS 14.1. All of them are currently working in Europe (yes, Europe is GSM only) without problems.
It is just this last phone, I made the mistake of updating stock (NCQS26.69-64-10), rather than wipe it and install LineageOS 14.1 as soon I got it as I did with the other ones.

Ok, makes sense. I'll try adding your carrier info to the XT1766 in init. I'll post another build later tonight or tomorrow for you to try. I'm pretty sure that's what's needed.
@golouse Try this build

I figured if squid2's builds worked for your other devices I might as well just make a build with the origional init.moto.cpp and without replacing the stock apns. Like the missing firmware. It should work.
This is not for everyone! It should work for any other GSM users though I guess.
For everyone waiting for sources that work after the recent stock updates with a few other changes I made here you go

Thank you @squid2 and @SeanStar and whoever else chipped in for their original work on the trees!
Thank you for your efforts Jason. I've just installed it but the problem persist, same behavior.

Might be because of all the system.props that were added. Didn't think about that. I'll make one more build with those reverted to the way squid2 had them. If that doesn't work, there's one more thing I can try but I don't know when I'll have a chance to do that.
Edit: actually, now that I think about it there was a lot more than those system.props added. I'd be better off just using squid2's trees and adding the couple things to make it work after the latest update. That's gotta work. You might need to restore stock before trying it and maybe erase modem data. I'll do that as soon as I get a chance.
Hi first post here but not a complete newbie. But this time I'm stuck big time and would appreciate some help.
I've got a s8 plus that recently started playing up. All of a sudden it started not being able to make or receive calls. But I noticed it only happened when the "conditional call forwarding active" message didn't appear when dialing. I figured it had something to do with call forwarding so try to change the settings on supplementary services settings but when I tried to enter the settings an error message appeared "failed to read data" I tried sending the code manually to cancel voice mail *#022# to see if it would work but I got "connection problem or invalid mmi code" so assumed it could be that the phone is trying to check with the network the forwarding settings as the call starts but for some reason it cannot communicate with it as the mmi codes don't seem to working?? (I'm not that knowledgeable in that area) I tried all the fixes online for the "connection problem or invalid mmi" but none work so I flashed the firmware through Odin even tried a few different ones, I've been playing around with Odin for a while so I'm comfortable with it, I even flashed a pit once for a note 4 that was bricked (just saying so you can see I'm comfortable with using it, not an expert just comfortable) but nothing has fixed my problem my phone is a g955fd running pie and one UI with the latest security update. I've read the duos have some issues with this. I've tried other sim cards on my phone from different carriers and the problem is the same and I'm using my sim on a borrowed phone and no problems. I'm assuming the problem goes deeper than the firmware, could this problem be boot loader related? Would a nand erase and reinstalling the boot loader fix it? Everything else works 100%
Someone please help me, the phone I'm borrowing is an apple and every day I have it I feel weaker and dumber, it's like kryptonite.
Sorry for the long post but I've been browsing xda forums for years and I know that you guys always say to share as much info as possible. By the way I've searched and couldn't find a thread about this but it there is one I promptly apologize and just ask for the link to it if not thanks in advanced.
? G935F or G935U exynos vs snapdragon
Way for snapdragon
Flash https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3901074 with odin and test with hard factory reset recoery.
After, flash odin last firmware stock sammobile
Thanks
Thanks for your reply deadedge7
As I said my s8 + is a duos g955fd variant and has an Exynos processor, I'm not sure that rooting it would make much of a difference, as to my understanding rooting doesn't really change the boot loader it just allows you to install a custom recovery and roms. Which is not much different to reflashing a stock rom for all intents and purposes , but I might give it a try anyway. I guess that maybe a rom like the one in the thread you shared might give me some more hidden codes access as a root but I'm not sure. I will try to find a root like it for my variant unless you know of one and can point me to it.
Thanks
Hard reset or flash stock software or hardware problem
For iemi best way is root efs with flash twrp best way for /EFS

No solution so far. I've rooted the phone and install a couple of custom ROMs but still nothing. I'll try and roll back the firmware and see what happens. I'm no expert but I still think it is fixable. If I find a solution I'll post it on this thread. If you find one please share. My solution at the moment is getting a galaxy A50, very comparable performance with the S8 and really cheap.

I'll keep that in mind. Couple of things to note: I don't get the message conditional call forwarding active. I don't think I ever have.
I tried a different carrier SIM card(T-mobile) and it worked (I'm on At&t). I was able to make and receive calls. Even tried an out of country SIM card and received calls. But my At&t SIM works on other phones perfectly. Go figure lol.
The only other reason I can think of is maybe cos it fell a couple of times from the couch. About 1.5ft. New case kept making it slide off.
Install (Phone INFO SAM).apk
check csc if they are all the same operator
