SIM is not working on S3 NEO GT-I9301I - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today, i have bought a branded s3 neo GT-I9301I for my mother. Everything is ok but sim is not working on it. I tried different SIMs of different networks but no results. Each and every time it shows a message "not registered on network".
And it is v strange that on the shop sim was working but after reaching at home i put my sim and boom that message showed up.
What should i do now? I can't give it back to the seller as it doesn't has any warranty.
Help me guys.

You could try this:
got to settings > more networks > mobile networks > network operators > search network, then select your network when it shows up.
If that doesn't work you could probably try factory formatting since its a new phone.

I did but it didn't work at all. It's really frustrating. I think this mobile is locked to some specific network provider. I mean it was delivered by some network service provider like Vodafone etc.

Okay then if so go to sammobile.com find the firmware for your region and flash using odin. If your phone is locked to a specific carrier this should work.
Also you could try a custom rom.

[Q] Updated to MKF & Now Unable to Get Mobile Internet

I recently updated to the MKF update on my i9505 BTU. Prior to this my mobile internet was fine. Since the update I am unable to get any mobile internet. All settings are checked to ensure I should be, the APN hasn't been deleted and I've got no idea why this should have changed anything. I'm on the EE mobile network.
Any ideas?

thx for your rep, my net mode is set as lte/wcdma/gsm... however, when i set it to wcdma only, on low signal areas the signal drops dramatically, because of freq. change, i keep flashing new modems in order to find the suitable one :/

Hi
that is an option is most likely a modem issue, you could also see what modem your country operator uses ( check in sammobile) and flas it to see if you get an impovement

I'm totally messed up with Service mode on samsung galaxy duos. Which caused not recognising any SIM. Help me out to reset everything to Service mode default. Thanks in Adv
@Iway76: You get a kudos for searching before posting, even though this isn't the right forum for you. I would recommend attempting to install a stock ROM using Odin, not Kies, and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, you may have to take the device in for service as you may have a hardware issue like mine, where the SIM card tray died while attempting to unlock the S4 - again - and it just was a coincidence that the hardware failed while working on the service menu unlock.

LTE Problem

Hi all,
Just want to know if anyone encounter similar problem like I do.
I am currently on Wind Mobile network in Canada, I used to get 4G network using the factory DOC4 firmware and baseband.
All the custom roms I flashed, only connect at H+ no matter which one.
I tried changing the sim with the provider and it still the same.
My Device:
Samsung SM-N900W8
Firmware and baseband (the newest DOC4)

[Q] Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M) says NO MOBILE NETWORK (HELP!)

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to post this. I'll start from the beginning. I bought a Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337m) from somebody in my city. They said the phone originally worked with Rogers/Fido, but that they switched the logic board on it so now it works with Bell/Virgin. The thing is though, when I put my Virgin Mobile sim card in the phone, it won't let me send texts or make calls. I checked the IMEI and it's not blacklisted or anything.
It says No Service and has the little circle with a diagonal line showing up in the notification bar and when I try to send a text, it says No Network Connection (No signal found for mobile networks). I find it weird because I still get a notification saying that I have an unheard voicemail.
I've tried resetting the phone multiple times. I've also tried flashing both the Bell and Virgin Mobile Lollipop firmwares and that didn't work either. To be honest, I'm not sure how to tell which one I would need to install. I noticed when trying to flash the Bell firmware, that the phone kinda skips to a black screen quickly every time I close an app. I'm assuming that would mean it needs the Virgin Mobile firmware.
That still doesn't fix the mobile network issue though. If anyone could help me out, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!! Here is a bit of info, I'm hoping it helps. If you need anything else, please let me know.
Model number: SGH-I337M
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: I337MVLUGOC4
Build Number: LRX22C.I337MVLUGOC4
Also, in the "Status" menu, I noticed it says:
Service State
Voice: Out of Service / Data: Out of Service
Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if that's normal. Again, if you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know. I'm super desperate as I can't afford to lose the money I paid for this. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Coincidentally my girlfriend has a Galaxy S4 of the same model and with Bell/Virgin. I opened up the ABOUT DEVICE menu in both phones and the only other difference I noticed is on hers it says:
SE for Android Status:
"sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0013"
And mine says "sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0009"
Does that have anything to do with it maybe?

Install this APP and add all screenshots pls .
Okay, will do. I will post the screenshots in about 20 mins. I rooted the phone, installed CWM and am in the middle of flashing the latest firmware again. I forgot to enable USB debugging before flashing originally and I wanted to install CWM to wipe the cache. No idea if that would make a difference but I've been up all night trying anything lol. Thank you for the reply though, will post the screenshots in about 20 mins.

All seems correct but I think your device works for Bell Mobile (BMC) only but NOT for Virgin Mobile (VMC). Try to use one BELL simcard for verify it.

In all my experience, Bell/Virgin are always interchangeable. Same with Telus/Koodo and Rogers/Fido. I tried putting a Bell sim card in though just now and it still has the problem. It doesnt load any of the signal bars or anything. Oddly enough, when there is no sim card in the phone, the bars show up?

Since it was from Bell, would flashing the Virgin Mobile firmware somehow mess it up? What are the exact steps I would need to take to try to reset it back to stock settings? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. Or if the APN settings have anything to do with it? I set them to default already and tried adding the Virgin Mobile Canada apn settings as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att is the proper place to ask your questions regarding your S4, rather than where you originally posted this, the International S4 forum. Since more people with your device will be available at the given link, you may want to ask your questions over there. Or simply be patient, as this thread will be moved over there in due time.

Unlocked G900P Sprint for Int. but no Data

Hey, guys.
Thanks for reading.
I bought a locked S5 G900P from Sprint (BOD3) but I live in Brazil.
After a few days reading threads, I've finally managed to downgrade it via CWM (installing stock NK4 kernel and SM-G900P_NI3_ROOTED_ODEXED).
Then, I've unlocked it via SSU. Since I couldn't get any data, I tried a lot of workarounds (installing shohat rom, cm11...) but nothing. Then, I decided to flash the latest firmware available at sammobile: G900PVPU3BOF6.
No data from the latest firmware also.
Now, my phone is back to ShoHat V5 Rom (4.4.2), with G900PVPU3BOF6 baseband and NK4 kernel.
The signal icon on the top of the screen appears to be full (four bars) and I can see the phone carriers, but I can't register to mine (VIVO Brasil).
Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do? That's the configuration that got me closest to receiving data.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thank you for your time.
Just saw that on my phone, despite using SSU:
NETWORK. BLOCKED
IMEI CERTI: FAIL, -9
Any help? Please.
Your network bands do not match the phone bands.
Go into the secret menu. Try downloading Phone Info app for this.
To unlock all the bands try this. Go to UE Settings/Settings/Protocol/NAS/Network Control/Band Selection and select LTE all bands.
