Invalid SIM Card when inserting non-Sprint SIM card - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I've been trying to get to the unlock code screen but all I get is a "Invalid SIM Card" and I can't take it to Sprint to unlock it since the IMEI is blacklisted on Sprint. Could anyone help me out?

Get your phone factory unlocked then you don't have to deal with codes. You can find someone to it cheap. But make sure your phone is not blacklisted throughout the US carriers.

I was able to get a at&t sim card with the IMEI but I just can't use it.

Never mind, got my phone unlocked and it works now.

I mentioned this in the other thread but you can go back through the menu steps and turn SHA256 back on and see if it makes a difference. You can also see if you have another "golden backup" with SHA256 on and see if you can restore it. It might not help or even work but at this point you have nothing to lose. In the future, pay attention to warnings and let the experience of others guide your decisions Good luck..

If it asked for a code with a non-carrier sim then it is detecting a sim. If the original sim says no sim then make sure it is not in backwards.

Was there another "golden backup" available with SHA256ON? If so, try to restore it and see if it is the same. If it doesn't exist or it doesn't work, I would say you are screwed.
I only have one backup ..that's all I see tried to restore the existing nv backup still no go. I may cry
If I flash a modem file from odin will anything potentially fix it?
I had this same issue without even doing the unlock method. Found a blog somewhere where lots of ppl were having the same issue. Ended up having to warranty exchange.
Did you exchange through your carrier or through samsung directly
Also could you post the blog where that discussion is please
I wish there was another solution...I tried restoring nv settings everything looks to be as it were before I did this but same error
Very frustrated

Odin back to stock and see if that resolve the issue. If not then take the phone in to see if it's your sim card. If it's not the sim card then just get a replacement. Good luck.

Replaced through carrier. No issues. They said theyd had a lot of returns for this issue. Had my new phone the next day.
Is there a way to undo these changes, I mean revert back to original state/backup?
..
Try to Load Default NV
and it will rebuild your EFS ..
I just unlocked mine with this method.everthing went fine as far as I can tell ..on reboot it now says unlocked custum with a padlock animation "unlocked"i don't have another sim to test ...

Unfortunately, people don't read. The "Unlock for free" thread is full of warnings and there are still people screwing their phone's up. It's still full of, "Guys, it didn't work for me,why?" and my favorite, "Guys, my phone won't unlock at all now" threads. At this point, I just laugh at the fools. Oh, and the warnings were there before you tried it as well.

The Imei is only barred by operators if the phone is listed as reported stolen. Try ordering a new micro sim card from your operater, first try if your simcard works in another phone to rule out a defective simcard.

But if its a brand new phone and they can't repair doesn't that mean they'll give you a new handset? That's how warranty generally works fix or replace....

Flashing an older modem helps to recover the ime (EFS folder), its not lost only not accessible. Look in my signature for available modems and flash an older I9500 modem with Odin 3.04.

[Q] I9506 Network problem

I bought a used I9506 that was locked.
I tried some unlocking guides but nothing worked so i bought a unlock code from the operator, but now it can't even find a network. I don't think the EFS folder is corrupt because the correct IMEI still shows up when I type *#06# in the dialer. I have tried different CSCs but nothing changes so I don't know what the problem is. Have anyone experienced similar problems or know any solutions to this?

I have tried to factory reset many times but nothing changes.
I can't use any unlock codes because I don't have any network at all (I can't even call 112 or 911).

Yes, turn on your phone, take your sim card out and re install it, go to network setting and set it to global, leave it like that for some time and it will automatically set your network.
I have had same issue, after updating a rom i get no network. So i set it to global and leave it like that for almost an hour then when i reached my phone again, its connected to network.
Didn't help

Dunno why its sim locked. Did it used to detect sim before?
If you want to unlock it, refer to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455956
You might need to pay couple bucks.

You just try'it on the site... That's the proof...
I try'it myself after i see around here some user can not obtain unlock code again...
So i go on the site, input data and surprise... IMEI or Device ID error...
I compared with initial data which i have'it save and i see Device ID was different...
I go again on the site and input original Device ID and give me unlock code again... Same code...
i have my unlock code saved but when I try it, it does not work, my device is actually a nova plus model mla-l03 (north america) however, i unlocked bootloader, rooted and tryin to get my second sim to work i changed both custom.bin and oeminfo, updated to MLA-L11 firmware (europe) which relocked my bootloader so that error you get when the phone first boots up disappeared, however, if i boot into fastboot the device still shows UNLOCKED in red, but via fastboot oem get-info still shows locked.
i cannot get the bootloader unlocked with the original code and huawei website does not generate a new unlock code for me. i know this is for a different device, but can anyone assist or have ideas on how i can get this resolved?
