[Q] Note 3 N900W8 Not letting me choose network

I've been trying to fix since installing the new update at 2pm (PST) today. Finally decided to post a question here hoping someone more knowledgeable can help me fix it.
I bought the phone and it was locked to Bell so I bought a code and was using it on Fido. I flashed the Telcel 4.4.2 update and after I flashed all the files it worked (I tried not flashing modem). When it started I got a screen that said "Network Lock" with only a dismiss button (i.e. nowhere to put re-input my unlock code). If I click it 3 times it lets me into device. In the status bar it says "Invalid SIM card" "Network locked SIM card inserted". When I try to make a call I get "Not registered on network"
I've also tried flashing my old modem.bin via ODIN but that just cause the phone to boot and vibrate a bunch. I was able to get into settings but no option for Network Operator or APN.
The network doesn't work but WiFi and everything else does. So I rooted using the new N9005 root. Added APN settings, and of course, looked for network operators. Fido doesn't show up but all other carriers do (except Chatr).

I'm in the same situation as you are but which new N9005 root are you talking about? I'm on Rogers so if I can use that to get my signal back, that would be awesome.

I got the autoroot installed and working fine. It says invalid SIM.
Previously, I had installed the firmware without flashing the CSC and I don't remember having sim lock issues then (as the Telcel specific files are not flashed) however you have to deal with the Samsung keyboard repeatedly crashing, so you have to find a way around it.
So my suggestion is reflash without the CSC file and brainstorm a way to put another keyboard on it without needing to input anything first (so Google Play is a no-go), probably side load a keyboard apk through ADB or something. Going to give it a shot.
---
The keyboard idea worked fine. Unfortunately I did still get the region/sim lock stuff because everywhere outside of Canada seems to have it turned on and the ROM defaults to tmobile without the CSC apparently. I've decided to bite the bullet and just pay for an unlock as I was planning to do so anyways.
---
And that worked until I rebooted and it asked for a SIM unlock code... well... damn. I'm just going to try to flash a rom with region/sim locking removed. Ugh.
Looks like we can fix this by downgrading or creating our own Rogers files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608178&page=54

I have the CSC and modem.bin. Tested and working (remember, I flashed PIT as said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49512809)
https://www.mediafire.com/?yjdgd4j8s72bo46

I rolled my own too. Working fine.

Same thing was happening to me. Just follow the instructions in my previous post.

No phone calls?

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.

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!

[Q] Help! S7 Edge SM-G935A Andriod 7 Nougat update data not working

Hi ,
I have a unlokced at&t s7 galaxy edge and I was using it till yesterday on Tmobile network
every thing was working fine till this andriod 7/ Nougat update came in.
As everybody else I was very excited and let the phone go thru the udpate, everything went fine and I got andriod 7.
However after the update for some reason only mobile data ( I can make/receive calls) is not working on Tmobile network.
1. put the SIM into another phone to check there is no problem with the SIM/network outage. We found that there is no problem with sim/account and data/voice everything works exactly as it is supposed to work with another phone
2. I rechecked all the settings/apn/data/ etc many times on unlocked galaxy s7 edge phone but data is not working. I still see 4g/4g lte icon but I don't get the data. we tried manual search/resetting of network as well
4. I have put my brothers AT&T sim in on same unlocked galaxy s7 edge phone and data works fine.
can you please help me, advise what are my options now ?

What firmware were you running when you installed the OTA update? You may wanna try manually installing the full T-Mobile or AT&T Nougat firmware with Odin, just to make sure everything matches up?
Edit: hmm, if your brother's sim works in the phone, then everything might be ok. But still, installing the full firmware by hand won't hurt. This is weird tho lol

Ok, cool. I will search for it and try that out and post my results. Thank you!

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser SIM Problem?

Okay, I've got quite the problem. I have the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser that I just got today in the mail. I am using Straight Talk and when I put the SIM card in, nothing happens. The phone detects the SIM card just fine, but I have no connection. No calls, no texts....nothing. Wifi is working just fine. I have tried the couple of fixes that are floating around the internet and none of them have even come close to fixing my problem. Is there anyone here that might be able to help me, or at least point me in the right direction?
The recovery says that I'm running WW_user_30.42.31.1_20170629. I know there's supposedly an official downgrade, but it says it downgrades from 14.40.144.6 to 13.40.104.1. I tried it anyway and the update fails every time stating that it can't update over the current firmware due to it being newer?
Also, all of these updates say they are for ZC551KL, yet my phone says it is Z01BDC.... Am I missing somethign here?
Please help, and thank you!

Please, I'm seriously at a loss here. Is there anyone here on this board at all? I really need this phone to work, so if there's anyone here that can help me, PLEASE help!

Possibly a stupid question, have you tried manually re-flashing WW_user_30.42.31.1_20170629 official ROM:
https://www.asus.com/us/support/Download/39/1/0/31/2rbGWI881cnm1Xro/32/
I think Z01BDC is a north American variant of ZC551KL.

I have an S8(G950U) which i flashed with T-mobile firmware from Sammobile.The phone worked totally fine for 7 days.I even updated the software the day i flashed the phone.Today i just woke up and i got a message on my phone saying that for security reasons your phone is locked.Now i cant even use T-mobile(Macedonia card),and not even my main operator(VIP MKD).Can someone help me what i can do? The phone is snapdragon,and the IMEI IS: 355987080853152. Its not blacklisted i did check it out.
