"Original thread"
Hello everyone,
Well, back again with the problem that can't find any solution anywhere.
I've opened a thread about fake imei on this site earlier which can find a solution already. Now the imei and the S/N become original one but the phone still can't make any call. I found the thread about a patch that can fix this issue but it works with NOTE2 and S3 only... so, I'm afraid to try that with my S4 GT-I9500 since it's very hard to find a fix for its problem... I don't want another problem for my phone now...
So, the status of the phone is unlock, root, on latest stock firmware(I9500XXUBMG1), Baseband is I9500DXUBMF8,
Software status on phone: Network=Unknown, Mobile Network Type=Edge:2, Service State=Out of service...
When I check with AndroidDump the Telephony said:
IMEI=(my original IMEI)
CallState=IDLE
DataActivity=NONE
DataState=DISCONNECTED
NetworkType=EDGE
PhoneType=GSM
SimState=READY
CellLocation=[16427,50572,-1]
DeviceSoftwareVersion=01
Line1Number= (it's blank)
NetworkCountryIso=th
NetworkOperator=52018
NetworkOperatorName= (it's blank...again)
SimCountryIso=th
SimOperator=52018
SimSerialNumber= (my sim serial number)
SubscriberId=52018961057xxxx (this is my IMSI)
VoiceMailAlphaTag=VOICEMAIL
VoiceMailNumber=1802 (this is the voice mail number of my sim operator)
Now, let's go back a bit for earlier problem of my phone...
It's been stuck on Samsung logo(bootloop) because of EFS folder corrupted(Error mount efs)
Solution: I forced the efs to mount by enter the command in Terminal Emulator on Recovery mode, then the phone reboot normally with wifi connect but fake Imei(004999xxxxxxx) and S/N 00000000000. So, I can't make any call since then but can connect wifi.
After that with the fake Imei and S/N all zero I've finally found a mobile repair shop that can write the original Imei and S/N for me with the SPT Box. So, my phone has the original Imei and S/N now but when I try to make call it said "Not registered on network"
If I choose the network manually(My operator is DTAC) it will be Network(DTAC)unavailable... If set to choose automatically, it looks fine but when I attempt to call it said "Not registered on network" again...
The phone still can connect to WiFi, as usual... but can't make call...like before fix the Imei and S/N
Contacted the operator of my sim already and they said it seems to be the problem of the phone so, I have to contact Samsung... but my phone has no service with Samsung coz it's the phone from another country and it's been root already...
I've tried every way I can(found on this site and other site...) None work...
So... anyone has any idea why my phone can't make any call???... and HOW EXACTLY TO FIX IT???
Thank you again for you time and help...

I have the same issue. Anyone help.
I have checked the IMEI was clear.
i dont know if this helps but i had the same problem ....the exact same problem you are having ,only its that i was having it on the note 2 , also i didnt have the warranty cause of the same reason as yours,so eventually i fixed it after 4 month ,
i first installed the miui rom, then flashed the dmg1 modem on my phone and used the ariza patc, i think it has to be done in the same order cause i had done all three of those before but to no result.maybe you can try this...

This is why you should always back up your EFS folder. If your IMEI ever gets lost you can restore using the EFS backup folder very easily.

You were ABSOLUTELY right. I had done NOTHING wrong, my IMEI had been blacklisted by a weird mistake of a mobile company.
I'll explain my jourey, in the hopes that it can help somebody, since, I HAVE A SOLUTION for every single case of this issue.
1) When I got my gt-i9500, of course I rooted it, then i proceeed to flash PAC-ROM on it, but I had to go back to Stock (Arrow Modified Version) since PAC-ROM is FULL of glitches ans bugs.
2) After a week of being using ARROW, i got the "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" problem. Not instantly, no, AFTER A WEEK OF USING AS MY DEFAULT ROM. I got really scared, since I DIDN'T MAKE A BACKUP OF MY EFS FOLDER, and when I review my IMEI, it wasn't even the 00049... generic one, it was null/null. So i shat my pants, thinking I had ruined my S4 for good. But I started reading. First i had to get my IMEI back to its original form, and then work around the network issue (THAT'S THE ORDER, ACTUALLY)
3) So I downloaded a whole bunch of modems and tried one after one, with no success, some of them put the generic IMEI on my phone, some of them got my IMEI back to null/null. I was worried and drinking industrial quantities of wine at this point. So i went for the obvious but way more boring solution. I TRIED FLASHING STOCK ROMS on my S4. I live in Perú, so I only have 2 choices to do this, and actually my carrier stock rom is not even listed on SamMobile.com (I'm on Nextel Peruvian 3G network). The 2 choices i tried, neither got my signal or my IMEI BACK. I started going desperate, but keept on reading.
4) Tried the MTK Droid Tools to recover my IMEI. I had never even used The ADB android interface before, but learned rather quickly. Got my S4 connected, shell rooted, and still couldn't change my IMEI; since MTK Droid Tools (and please trust me on this one) ONLY WORKS FOR THE CHINESSE/KOREAN VERSIONS OF THE S4. So don't even bother, you might learn ALOT about the android ADB interface, but won't fix your IMEI.
5) Finally I started downloading a bunch of Stock roms in order to get my IMEI fixed automaticaly by flashing them through ODIN. And the I stumble upon THIS ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396 WHICH SEEMED like a divine answer from heaven since, just by flashing it, got me back my ORIGINAL IMEI.
6) At this point i had discovered that INDEED the MODEM: I9500UBUBMG9 does get your IMEI back to its original state. (That's your answer). SO, I was in a Stock rom, with my original IMEI, bu had NO FREAKING SIGNAL WHAT SO EVER. STILL HAD THE "Not registered on network" FREAKING problem. So I, finally, gave up, came here, and got the answer that It might had to do with my IMEI being blacklisted. I refused to believe so, since there are this stories on the internet, that you can actually screw your EFS folder by installing a custom AOKP rom without backing it up, and that there's this "RF CAL" file that only samsung knows how to fix and once it's corrupted, you won't be able to connect to any network, ever. BUT HERE'S THE THING, THAT story IS A LIE.
7) I went to NEXTEL (My carrrier) support (They sold me the phone) today, and YES, OMG YES, my IMEI had been blacklisted, AND HERE'S THE CATCH: ANYONE (At least that can happen in my country) ANYONE, can call your mobile operator, reporting your phone has been stolen, and the op will block NOT ONLY YOUR NUMBER, but your freakining IMEI, blacklisting it, and making it IMPOSIBLE for you to get connected on ANY network.
SO Here is my conclussion to this WEIRD case:
1) If you have the NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK and you have the WRONG IMEI issue (Meaning, your IMEI is the generic: 00049... or Null/Null) , flash via ODIN, THIS STOCK ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396, just... flash it, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE READ THAT YOU JUST NEED THE MODEM, I garantee that if you flash this stock rom, your IMEI will go back to its original state.
2) If your S4 is on an Stock Rom, and you have your original IMEI; and you still can't connect to your network, It means your original imei has been blacklisted, and you NEED to talk to sammy or your carrier to fix this, or contact someone who can undo this situation.
That's it. I hope that my journey helps someone that is trying to get this "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" issue solved, as I've been trying to for the entire weekend. Just... don't give up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif

it's so amazing that the mobile company staff have so much power, isn't it? I thought the report process should be a bit more formal, with a note from the policeman or something. Otherwise it's so easy to get fxxked up for doing nothing...

Problem:Rooted the phone and due to some issues but somehow it became unrooted so I tried to root again but this time it failed during odin downloading mode halfway. so I unplug and was not able to boot up the phone. So i download and install the stock firmware from sammobile and manage to get the phone to startup . But the next issue is that the imei is gone and serial number's wrong with no network .
Did a bit of researched and I managed to write my own imei in through a thread I've found here . But my serial number is still different from what I've checked from the back of my phone and the network is still not up . I've check my ESN n MEID number is some random numbers or just 000000000 , tried to search for how to recover but to no avail.
I've tried doing imei repairs using GSII_repair and tried to follow some threads on things like deleting efs folders etc BUT I am not able to find the nv_data file even after rooting so decided to drop the method .
Do let me know what you guys need in order to troubleshoot the problem .
Did the phone's imei and serial # match the label before you rooted the first time?

Erm , I'm not sure about that thou . :crying:
Did you buy the phone new or used?
The easiest way to fix that, is to flash stock rom, but not just any ... it has to be the exact same region as the phone originated. Otherwise you get screwed EMEI, etc. Some countries the phone is carrier locked, so you also need to take that in account when getting stock rom. If you can't find those out... then it can be a problem. Maybe bring it into a samsung repair center to be checked out.

It was a brand new phone when I bought it quite some time back .

The easiest way to fix that, is to flash stock rom, but not just any ... it has to be the exact same region as the phone originated. Otherwise you get screwed EMEI, etc. Some countries the phone is carrier locked, so you also need to take that in account when getting stock rom. If you can't find those out... then it can be a problem. Maybe bring it into a samsung repair center to be checked out.

I flashed the stock rom from sammobile using odin , managed to get the phone up but thats when the imei and sn gets screwed up I think . I'm from singapore and our phones here are all unlocked . Used to work for 1 of the telcos here so I'm 100% sure it's not sim locked . I checked with my friends at samsung and they told me their process is to switch the motherboard and it's not worth the price, so I would want to try all the methods first before converting it as a expensive media player lol.
So the phone is originally from Singapore? Or you just flashed stock rom from Singapore? If the phone is originally from Singapore and you flashed a stock rom from Singapore, it should work... unless you tried changing the EMEI yourself. I think it's all messed up now, so you probably only have to take it to a shop that can do that for you. Changing motherboard from Samsung (or any manufacturer) is always super expensive. Hopefully you can find someone else with a small shop that can do it -- otherwise, I guess better to get something else (because price won't be worth it, as you say).
Good luck. Hope you sort it out.
PS, I like visiting Singapore sometimes... miss Brazil Churrascaria ^^.
Hello all,
Ok let me tell you what happened first.
In March I bought said phone on ebay from a guy which seemed a legit person, 150 or so reviews, a lot of stuff sold, positive reviews etc.
For the past 6 month everything worked fine and i used the phone in the UK on EE (phone is locked to EE) without problems.
on Saturday the phone suddenly has been not geting any signal so I did some invetigations and it turns out the guy who sold the phone is on contract with EE with the phone and did an insurance claim as lost or stolen.
So now the phone has been Blacklisted and i cant use it anymore, to make calls etc on any network.
I tried to get Info from |EE, Ebay etc but with no luck.
I did some research and found that i can change the IMEI number to make the phone work again.
So I must say first up that I dont have a clue from rooting or any modyfing stuff with phones apart from the normal ANdroid things.
So I did some research and after misserably failing to root the phone myself, I got a company "one click root" to succesfully got my phone rooted.
Now I tried the options to change the IMEI number but none of them works:
"ok i cant post outside links:
the 2 versions to change IMEI which i found and tried are : with xposed and imeichanger app, and also one where you have to dial a number which opens radio frequenzy and then another number where you can change IMEI number
this does not work because the xposed framework is not compatible with this phone (yet)
this does not work as i dont have signal and the "call" does not go through.
thats the only thing I found and i thought as a last resort I try my luck here if anyone knows of a different way tho change the IMEI number for this phone apart from the 2 options above before i go and spend another 350£ for a new phone (this time from a shop )
thanks in advance

I take it this means you didn't create that all important backup before modding your device? :silly:
Try downgrading the firmware first then flash the latest updated firmware

Hi guys,
I have an issue with My SM-A520F. I bought it to a particular and according to the initial network provider, this person stop to pay his subscription.
So, I'm looking for solution to change IMEI for this model. I think the nv_data.bin is encrypted. Perhaps if I change the nv_data.bin(whith the corresponding nv_data.bin.md5) with another which not blocked in my country it will work. So, if someone want to exchange his nv_data.

Hi Xposed and IMEI changer will not help you. If you want I can explain you how to install it on this phone. But the IMEI changed by IMEI changer with xposed framwork is not the IMEI sent to the network provider. The IMEI changed by this app is used to mask your IMEI to the apps that track you by using the IMEI. So it's just a spoof of the IMEI for apps using IMEI and not a really IMEI change.

Backup the EFS with TWRP then delete the EFS folder. The EFS should rebuild and give a default IMEI when the devices reboots or try deleting NV_DATA.bin, NV_DATA.bin.md5, it should get replaced by NV_DATA.BAK.bin if it's any good.
You can also attempt to Format and remount the EFS partition. It works for some devices.

Guess not in that situation, but you may be able to delete the EFS and enable the default Imei.

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...
