Can't register to network

hi guys, i really need help on this, i bought my x1 from ebay, it has a vodafone logo on the box and the phone. i already tried flashing the phone succefully to a generic one but when i insert my o2 sim card into the phone and choose the network, it says cannot register to network, please choose something else, and i am unable to call out or do anything else.
so i went and got an unlock code, restored the phone back to the vodafone rom, but when i put in the o2 sim card there's no prompt which asks for my unlock code, and still when i try to choose my network it say unable to register?
i really need help with this, i have all the flashing tools and roms files, and also an unlock code. can someone help me pleaseeeeee..........

If it's a vodafone uk one then it's already unlocked.
However it may have had it's IMEI blacklisted? ie if it was stolen etc..
Best thing might be to speak to o2 or VF and see if it is.
Have you tried another sim? does it recognise this one?

My bet goes to blacklisted IMEI. Sorry dude.

hey i'm just curious... if a phone's imei is blacklisted, that only makes the phone useless if you're using that service provider? like if it was blacklisted by voda, could i just pop a tmobile sim in?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, i just checked on the checkmend website. the phone is freaking blocked! the damn seller!

not as far as i'm aware , in the uk it goes on a central database

if you paid using paypal your purchase is protected... double protected if you paid by credit card first contact the seller, if you have no response file a complaint on ebay.

[Q] Not registered on network

Hi there!
I bought a Galaxy Note III in Thailand, unlocked, and I am trying to use it in India, Vodafone. Data is working perfectly but when I try to register it on network is not possible. I already went to the company and replaced the sim card. Same problem. When I was in Thailand it worked perfectly, even I tried in Nepal and it was working 100% too, so phone is ok. Somewhere I read there is a new system to avoid bringing phones form one country to another. Some help would be apreciate. Thanks in advance. Be happy

maybe you should try another network sim card or go into the settings and search for networks and then hit automatic

Then maybe you both need to flash your own regions rom?

Check your imei number, does it different from under the battery? Your phone probably been injected with superimei which did not work with gsm mode (it work in wcdma). You need to find a repair shop which has the SPT BOX to repair your gsm connection.

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the keypad to enter the service info and then check (sim lock) (network) , if there is a "X" mark in the square box on the left then it is locked. The number to the extreme right indicates the number of tries left.
Post results here, preferably with a screenshot.

Your phone has a netlock. Contact the seller of the phone

Unfortunately the phone is Network locked, and there are two possibilities to unlock it:
1. Ask the UK operator, it should be for free if the phone has been under contract but has been payed fully
2. Buy the unlock code, it doesn't come cheap, I've been reading on this community about and many have recommended this htccode.com

I already buyed the code from same store where the phone was buyed, but its not accepting it...
My other option is to send it back to the store, but i don`t wana wait 1-2 mounths for the phone to come back...
If i change the rom it is posible to work or even to accept the code?

Don't keep entering the number because you have only 5 tries, after that it cannot be recovered. No changing the Rom will not do anything.
I'm very sorry but I don't see any other possibility.
I remember one time I sim unlocked a galaxy note 2 of At&t without a code, if you want to take a look on that solution I will leave you the link, maybe you can replicate the same on Xperia Z.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...317-att-samsung-galaxy-note-2-on-jelly-bean-4

The counter is already down to 0. It won't accept any code. I'm sorry to say that but there's not much you can do about it

Network Locked Device purchased in India!! Need Urgent Help :(

I recently shifted from iOS to this amazing phone just a day back. I saw my friend having this phone and bought it the next day a few hours before my flight in India. I am now in Vietnam and tried inserting the sim card it went on to ask me for a Unlock Code. I removed the sim and put it back on my old phone, after finding out about the Network Lock by Samsung. My Question is can I have any alternative methods than the 5 minute call from the country purchased in ? I am not going back to India for another 6 months and would be so sad to see this phone not being my primary phone
Hope you amazing people out there can guide me on this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you for the Reply. I tried flashing (Good thing is half the bloatware is removed now) but still no luck with the network unlock. When I enter my local sim card it still asks for a Netowrk Unlock Code.

How about this suggestion: Order an Indian pre-paid sim card, one that also allows you to make international calls. Put that in your phone, and make a call for 5 minutes. If I remember correctly, the sticker on the box doesn't say that you actually have to make the 5-minute call in the country of purchase. It only says you need to make the call with a sim card of the country of purchase (I don't have the sticker anymore, so I could be wrong).

s10+ "pin to unlock sim region lock"

Hi everybody,
I am living in Turkey.
I bought new sm-g975f dual sim from turkish local seller which is bought from sweden comviq.
When i open the phone with my turkish simcard, it said "pin to unlock sim region lock". I contacted samsung, they asked receipt from the sweden comviq, but seller couldnt find and didnt want to help bc he was busy.
I dont have european sim card for making 10 mins calls to unlock it
and i dont have plan to go nearest future to europe for making call to unlock
and i cant reach the receipt
what to do? anybody knows?
thanks

Hello !
After doing some research about that region lock, it seems that there's no bypass of the 5 minutes call, some believe it is a hardware based security measure. Here's a thread discussing the same issue on Note 9.
It seems though like the OP managed to find a solution through a paid service on a webite, but I don't know the level of legitimacy of these businesses.
I managed to solve the problem using Dr sim website, costing about 20 bucks, thank you all for your help
