Galaxy s7 Edge (snapdragon) from sprint.
I SIM card locked randomly while i was recording a video. I tried to flash stock it and did factory resets and nothing worked. I went to sammobile an did the latest rom atm. I have a history of rooting my phone and got bricked a couple of times but nothing I never heard of a brick that blocks your SIM card. Is this a brick problem or is something wrong with my phone? I went to the sprint shop and they said its not the SIM card.
is the phone working normal with exception of not being able to make calls ?
if yes, then it is a software problem in either the modem or csc.
if no, then your phone is bricked and you may need to take to a shop that has a box to fix it.
The phone is working fine. When I first restart my phone, it has service for a minute or two. After that it gives the warning that my SIM card is locked. So I'm not sure if it's a brick or not.
Hello guys. I am not quite new here, but I never registered (or I did but I couldn't find with which email or username).
However, I am having some trouble with Samsung S7 phone.
First of all, the IMEI on the About page is not the same as the IMEI on the back of the phone.
When I enter the IMEI from the back of the phone in IMEI checker, I get the right phone (Samsung S7).
When I enter the IMEI from the About page in IMEI checker, I get some old BLU phone.
Second problem is that I think this phone is not duos, however, whichever firmware I try to flash, I see the SIM card manager in the Settings. Which is weird to me.
Third problem is that the phone won't connect to network. I've tried 3 SIM cards (all 3 of those works on other phones), but this one just won't connect.
It shows full strength of signal, it also shows the phone number of the SIM, however, when I try to make a call, it says "Not registered on network".
The phone should not be locked as my brother said that he used it for some time, then he updated it to the latest OS and then did a factory reset. After that, the phone just stopped working.
Does anyone know what could be the issue? Why the IMEIs are different?
I am quite sure that the phone model is SM-G930F, however, the model number in Settings shows SM-G930FD. Which is again weird to me.
I've looked on the Google to see a picture of the SIM card slot of Samsung S7 duos and mine SIM card slot does not like that. Also, on one slot, it says only "microSD" and on another "SIM". So, I guess it is not a duos phone.
Any advices?
Thank you in advance!
All the best,
Dale
It sounds like somebody has changed the IMEI of the phone and patched the certificate for the IMEI to work.
Once you reset the phone or update the firmware on it, it will remove the patched certificate allowing the changed IMEI.
You will need to look for someone that does IMEI repair / change to get it working for you again I know there is a guy on the forums here that does them for free. Look through the s7 edge sub forums for them.

Well, I already flashed the firmware multiple times with different basebands and versions of the firmware as I thought that the firmware is wrong. Also tried to flash the firmware with Phone EFS Clear option checked in Odin.
Everything else on the phone works.
Sorry that this isnt help but you not alone, I unbricked a Samsung S7 (SM-G930F) after it suddenly just bricked (hard brick/soft brick - same thing). Eventually when I installed nougat on it, and finally wanted to use the phone, i tried a simcard and noticed how it would load all saved contacts but whatever I dailed, it responded "Not registered to network". Checking the model number it is now SM-G930FD but i am unable to verify the imei becuase of missing box. I tried many firmwares (even those that specify its for SM-G930F) but the model number remains SM-G930FD.
could any help plz be posted...

So there is this s7 edge (sm-g935FD) and I was tweaking it for a relative yesterday, after rebooting during a system update it asked for a pin number instead of their finger print but they forgot what the pin number was. After a full hour of trying different pins and getting locked out I had to reset the phone to factory default hoping it would fix it as there was nothing important on the phone yet, but I didn't know about this whole frp thing (still using my old note4 so I never really caught up on the new androids or security measures etc), so then it asks for the gmail that was used before but they mistyped the password during registration and didn't bother to add any recovery options for this google account (the phone doesn't even have a sim card yet), so now what can I do? I tried flashing another rom but yeah that didn't fix anything, I seem to be out of options because most methods out there are for the sm-g935F model not the sm-g935FD.
Would there be any problem if I flashed the 6.0.1 rom (of the sm-g935F) on this phone, will all features work fine including dual sim etc?
I bought used S8 that had clean IMEI (not blacklisted), it was locked on Sprint and with financial eliglibity. Before I got it unlocked it didn't recognised any sim card, after unlocking it did regular setup on my ATT card with all the ATT apps but it doesn't have service. Then I tried with Verizon SIM and it did the same, regular setup but no service. What do you think what's the problem ?
Phone build number : R16NW.G950USQS3CRE2
Is it rooted, and if it is, have you uninstalled any system packages
If not, try a factory reset and making sure the sim is active and APN settings are working and you have chose a network

It's not rooted, I did remote unlock with unlocking service and they flashed original firmware on it, nothing should be messed up.
I did factory reset few times as well as network reset. I double checked APN info and ofc it's setted up together with card.
I forgot to mention that phone is not showing up IMEI, actually nothing when I type *#06# in dial
that mean you lost imei ....flash factory firmware by yourself...it will do the trick

Can you explain me which one I need ? What about bootloader, is it the same ? I've checked thread about bootloader and mine is "carrier firmware", not unlocked.
Which career search for career. Look at the build number in abiut and search for that.
I'm using ATT and my phone was locked on Sprint, so I flashed Sprint firmware and It's the same. I put the SIM card in, it did ATT setup and all of the apps from carrier but it's still block sign instead of signal sign in top right corner and airplane mode is light blue (not usual blue like when you turn it on)
At least this time it's showing up imei in dialer
I couldn't find ATT firmware, if someone knows there's my build number in first post.
So guys i have Samsung S7 EDGE SM-G935F it was only on T-Mobile carrier/service, i gave my phone to a friend with different carrier, and he for sure tried something to it to change it so it would acept his sim, and now he returned the phone to me and it doesnt accept my T-Mobile sim, at first when i searched manually networks it was only displaying the other carrier even with my T-Moible sim in, after that i did factory reeset and hard reset, now it shows the T-Mobile network but it says error it cant connect.
Does anyone have idea what could have the guy done to mess up the phone it doesnt acept any sim card now, how can i totally full reset everything do i need to flash custom rom ? Please someone help me i wanna fix it to acept my T-Mobile SIM again like it was from factory.

Check if the imei is available. Do *#06#, if its at 000 maybe it got corrupted
