[help!]Can not send the SMS with my GS 2

Dear everyone,
Please help me!!! I cannot send the SMS on my GS2, but I can receive SMS. I read from the screen:" Message not sent, Revie message and try again"
I asked three, which is my operator. But the technician is not very helpful. He tried to tell me to restart the phone, get out the sim card and put it back in the phone and restart, it wouldn't work. And I also tried to setup the configurations in Messaging----Settings----Text message (SMS) settings-----Message Centre. However, this option is grey and I cannot change.
I went to google and found some people was talking about the SMSC. Before this problem happened, I did try *#*#4636#*#*-----Phone information several times, and maybe accidentally changed the SMSC, so I tried to put +447782000800 (three service centre number) in but every time it is "update error". Can anybody here help me out?? Thank you very much!

Same prob here

I did it 100 times , diffirent roms ... didnt help ..

I had the exact same problem and tried flashing several different ROMs on the phone, but it turns out the problem was that the message center number got deleted for some reason. On my phone the option wasn't grayed out and I was able to change it to the correct setting, which fixed my SMS-sending issue. Is your phone rooted?

OP you need a service centre .
Just a thought man who install multiple roms often lose EFS . Does your phone report its correct IMEI number .

[Q] g900f call barring problem!!

Hello im new in here!
Im using samsung galaxy s5 g900f and it was working perfectly. But yesterday idiotic me entered an mmi code which is *35*0000# so all my incoming calls and sms' barred.
After that i tried its neutralizer to go back normal which is ##35*0000# but it didnt work. I tried dozens of mmi codes but it just stuck in there?!
Anyway after that i go back to default options menu on the phone. Call settings -> additional settings -> call barring -> bar all incoming calls. It asks for a password which is defaulty is 0000, it gives error and goes back. Tried to change password and it gave error too.
Wipe cache, hard reset, root, custom rom i tried every one of them to ger rid of this sh.t but i couldnt. Even samsung support couldnt help me. Please please help !

You could try flashing the stock rom with Odin and factory reset afterwards to see if that fixes the issue.

[Q] Serial Number changed flashing rom

Hello guys I need your help, Yesterday I was flashing MIUI ROM for my SM-N900W8 and it was not succesful, so I tried to restore the backup I did before flashing, but the problems started when TWRP did not allowed me to restore, it said Fail... after that I installed the Stock Rom from Odin and everything went ok until I was configuring the phone and when I was willing to connect to my wifi it appeared an error "Unfortunately Remote controls stopped" and the wifi turned to grey and I was not able to use it...
I flashed another stock rom (with operator) and the same issue, searching in the web I was a little deep about knowing what was happening and I realized my Serial Number changed, My IMEI is ok, but the problem persist. I need your help about this and restoring back again my phone. Thanks a lot

me too

I think MIUI messed my phone up too!
My phone stopped radio function. WIFI works fine, but my network isnt being picked up at all. The SIM works though. It saves and deletes contacts properly, but has no signal.
I have been scouring the internet looking for radio images and RUU's. Tried the RUU for my HTC One S, it downgraded my radio hboot...everything to an earlier stock version. Still nothing works.
it changed my device serial number into chinese characters. my phone number is displayed correctly under phone identity.
Anyone have a soloution to this??

In fact the S/N can easily be changed if your phone was rooted. But it is not relating to the wifi issue.
So you may have to try another firmware or another baseband.

Samsung Note 3 doesn't want to recognize/register my SIM

I'm not a 100% sure how this problem occurred, I believe it was after flashing an S5 custom rom called: "RC Elite S5 Port V16" To my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900W8). From what I was reading it was a ROM that "converts" your note 3 to a note 4 or s5, while still having all the Note 3 features. Another possible cause is trying to use RegionLock Away.apk by Chainfire to essentially(unlock) the phone. I feel like this is the main cause though as this affects the modem on the phone. This isn't the SIM as I tried it in another phone and works fine with calls and texts.
My phone doesn't want to register its mobile network anymore. When I try to make a call or text it says:
"Not Registered on network"
I was reading online for about 2-3days now for possible solutions that can cure this. Such as:
1. Going into Mobile Networks settings and manually register [failed, details below]
2. Going into Mobile Networks settings, hold home button for 2seconds and then hold power button + home button for 15seconds [failed, details below]
3. Taking out battery while the phone is on and remove the SIM card, clean it and re-insert [failed]
4. Factory Reset [Failed]
5. Wipe Storage and re-flash stock ROM [Failed]
Options 1 & 2 do not work because when I try to access Mobile Network Settings I get this:
"Insert SIM card to access network services"
The SIM card is inside the phone though...
So what I did is found a mobile network options shortcut "program" from GooglePlay Store and installed it. It allows me to access the menu, which is great! Now, when I try to register the SIM card to my correct service provider (BELL CANADA)...it will make me wait for about 1-2minutes before I get "Unable to register, try later" error.
I tried the factory restore with a stock 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile and the issue is still there.
Is there anything that anyone knows that can help me resolve this problem? I tried EVERYTHING i can possibly find on Google. I've seen posts of people suggesting to flash a modem.bin file with Odin but I don't know where to get those files, nor what to look for in terms of modem file "types".

Many thanks for your swift replies. I have it layed out in an album with thumbnails at the top. Hopefully it made it easier for you to look. I skipped past DEVICE ID as a whole as both IMEI and SERIAL #'s are 100% original and legitimate.

I tried region unlocking it with RegionLock Away by Chainfire. I would like to say afterwards this issue occurred but as far as im concerned, using a TELUS Mobility sim card activates the network pin unlock. So i'll be going with no, it's not unlocked.
I currently have a Bell LTE 4G SIM card installed on the phone. If you check the photos there it shows I have a full connection but unable to make calls nor access the mobile networks menu.... =/
I can provide pictures on the error messages if you'd like.

Edit: I'm performing a factory reset right now. I'll let you know if this fixes it. Thanks.

And as mentioned in OP, I downloaded a shortcut from the GooglePlay store that allowed me to access the Mobile Networks options. When I try to register to bell i keep getting "Unable to connect, try later"

Do one thing.
1. Turn off the phone. Take a out the simcard and battery for some min.
2. Add the battery only. Turn on the phone and factory reset your device (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Insert SIMCARD without turn off the phone.

They there! I tried to follow all the steps to the best of my ability but it seemed that didn't work. For 1, the note 3's sim card slot is blocked by the battery so i can't take it out without turning it off. In addition, after only inserting the battery and performing the factory reset, I decided to test it and the issue is STILL there even though a sim card isn't even inserted AFTER the factory reset. Same error messages as if nothing ever happened, even shows full bar reception even though nothing is in there. =/
This is the most unique problem I have ever encountered myself. I really don't know what to say...

Bumping.
After some more research I was wondering if you reflash the stock firmware back, does it effect the EFS partition at all? Cause if it doesn't I believe I installed a faulty EFS partition accidentally which results in the broken connection.
Any way I can get a backup of an EFS file that I can flash?
Thanks.

Bump. This issue is driving me nuts.
Thank you in advance.

Sim works in other phones, new sim doesnt work.

Issue still there.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

I had this same problem earlier (for a note 2) in the week where it just wont register any sim card.
In my case i think the problem was that i did a full format before flashing which probably deleted the EFS folder.
I tried so many options and eventually managed to resolve it by following the following instructions to restore the stock firmware.
Edit: Unfortunately i cant post URLs as i dont have enough posts
You can get to the page if you search for the following text in Google (The first entry in the results page)

Hey there!
Thanks for your swift reply! I had already did the Samsung Recovery via Kies 3. Do you know if I reflash it that way that the EFS folder would get flashed as well? Because after doing those steps the issue is still there, after about 3 firmware recovery flashes. xD
I didn't even think about backing up the stupid EFS folder otherwise I would have. I was looking at this

Is this the same one? xD
