Hi!
I bought an Note 3 N9005 and I noticed that the imei the phone displays it's different than the one on the back and on the box.
I have to select the network manually and it only works on EDGE when I'm on the web.
Could it b3 that the phone was sim locked and during the unlocking the imei was changed?
If so, what can I do?

If u put ur local SIM in and reboot and it does not ask for unlock code that means phone is unlocked. Have u tried different SIM? Do you see any signal above. Check phone IMEI. If not present you have other issues.

Umm, i haven't tried a different sim from my local place here, but , i tried to use the sim from the area that i bought this phone from (indonesia) and it works fine.
However , when i put my local sim , there's a signal but it has an "r" letter on the signal and no 3G, i have uncheck the roaming
I will suggest you try a different sim from your local place. I had similar problems when I bought my S5 SM G900F. It turned out the sim was deactivated. Also you want to be sure its not a 4G sim as that certainly might pose a problem.

Hello everyone
I have network problem on my Galaxy S4, I bought phone in South Korea he worked fine. Then I back home in Uzbekistan and found network problem. Phone doesn't allow local operators sim card. I tried most of methods to sim unlock, but still doesn't work.
Service menu (*#0011#) is hidden
IMEI (*#06#) not available I can't backup
I can't activate root
Update firmware not helped
Someone knows any effective methods to unlock sim?
Regards!

hi guys
ive got a galaxy s4 but its not accepting my EE uk sim card
when I put the sim card in and boot the phone it says no sim card is inserted
but if I put Vodafone or 3 UK or even 02 in it works and gets amazing signal
any ideas whats going on ?
Does the EE SIM work in other phones?
Hi yes the ee sim works fine in my other phone
It seems like only ee/T-Mobile/orange don't work all the other networks work no problems
Take it to an EE outlet and have them check the IMEI to ensure it's valid on their network. From there, have the SIM replaced.
Hi thanks for the reply ee checked imei number and its fine
Its like it don't detect any ee sim being in the sim slot
But all the others work
Try this

Jason, I had the same "No SIM inserted" error after rooting and reinstalling a ROM. Hopefully this solution (very simple, by the way) will work for you:

Same issue
I have this exact same issue!
Any other SIM works in my device, but the EE sim does not.
The EE sim works in any other device. It just doesn't work in my S4...
Any idea on how to fix?

guys this was never resolved for me no matter what I did Samsung had a look at the phone and said it was fine so had no idea why it wouldn't take my ee sim
so I sold it on and moved to the note 3
Hi guys, last night I trade in my S6 for S7.
That guy told me the phone is sim unlocked, I just need to manually adding APN and it will work. I am too stupid not to try with my sim.
I am in Malaysia, S7 variant should be G930F, but it's G930V, I tried two different carriers with manually input APN but the signal icon still blank with a cross:crying:
Besides, whenever I change network mode, it will revert to Global.
I can't select network operator too.
Is there any method to get it works with my local carrier? Flash rom from G930V to G930U or change IMEI will works?
flash "u" rom marshamallow..

Flash the "U" unlocked firmware on it. Looks like the phone is locked to Verizon. I would strongly recommend against changing the IMEI because that can add a lot of unnecessary complications.

Can I flash official nougat rom?
Any additional step or modification needed?
I see there are many firmware for different CSC such as XAA, TMK and etc. Which one is cleanest and works better for GSM network?
Currently on Verizon Offiicial Nougat 7.0 G930VVRU4BQC5
phones out of country with other networks, and att USA since note 2 came out.
I currently have s7 too and it travelled with me out of country as well no problems, I get 4g in most places, if not 3g until I can get to fast WiFi.
Ur carrier data bands must not be matching or phones damaged, in my expert opinion.
Once u put other carriers sim u either request carrier to send u apn via text msg where u just open it and it gives u option to save it.
Or the Sim itself will/should have those settings in it. And upon inserting sim then going to where apns are added, u may be able to select it.
A quick Google of bands of ur network can tell u, but I'm optimistic only a very few bands are missing off g930v/g935v
Edit: Yes Verizon phones work on gsm in global mode
There is another option in there LTE/GSM/UMTS
U will have to experiment between global or the one above mentioned, does the trick for me all the time
Hi .
I have bought a S8 locked to US Cellular on eBay, clean , not blacklisted and when I try a SIM card from my operator does not ask for unlock pin code and remains without registering on my network.
Does anyone know any website or any method to unlock It?
Many thanks in advance.

Does it have a unlock app in apps drawer or in settings. It may be unlocked. If ure sim works. WhT carrier you on.
Thanks for your answer.
I live in Portugal and I tried 2 different SIM cards. The phone shows in upper left screen the message "SIM blocked". I searched for an unlock app too but I can't find any like in T-Mobile phones I bought in the past.
US Cellular is a CDMA network provider whereas in Portugal you probably have only GSM networks.
I think you should look into this and investigate this issues as well.
Another info: I flashed with Odin with the latest USC official Rom from sammobile. Can be this the cause?
This is 950U version and therefore has the GSM frequencies as well.
Even if it was only cdma it would prompt to insert the network unlock code....
Any help?
WHen I put a sim card it appears a forbidden sign on the top, where I should see the network signal...
