htc elf network connection problem in turkey

please can anybody help me. i bought one htc elf in dubai and i went then to turkey am trying to make it work in turkey but in vain. it is always searching for network and not finding anything.

have you tried flashing a different radio? Or, have you go into phone settings and tried to select a network manually?

i couldn't upgrade my radio version it is always arriving 79%, stopping and giving error.

Whats the error, make sure to post as much information as possible, people wold be able to help better then.
Have you checked the error codes in the ROM section?
Stu

no actually am sorry but i did not know about that section before. so it is error 270.

thanks actually i found that error solution but nothing changed still my phone is searching for network in vain. even am trying to find a network manually it is writing cannot read settings from the network try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.

where did you buy the phone from in dubai? Was it from a market etc or a store? It could be blacklisted in turkey? Just thinking that could be a possibility.

i bought from jumbo electronics in dubai it is a distributer of consumer electronics. so what can we do if it is blacklisted.

i doubt it would be blacklisted if from a shop. If it is blacklisted, theres pretty much nothing you can do about it, apart from change the imei - which may well be illegal, i know it is here in the UK.

mm is there any way to change the imei like software.

for that, i would not help. you can however search forums to see if you can find anything for it.
google checkmend as well, that tells if the phone is blacklisted etc, but maybe only for us and uk, not sure. costs $2.99 USD though.

actually there is something strange i have one sim card from UAE, when i use it the signal of network is coming and when i put any sim in Turkey no signal is coming. do you think it is blacklisted?

the turkey sim may not be registered? I wouldn't be able to say if it is blacklisted - i'm still learning these phones too

About IMEI
If you bring a cell phone from out of Turkey you need to register it in cell shop called like "Turkcell Extra".
You need your phone and your passport. The personal'll look at the dates in your passport and check the invoice date in shop after he/she will register your phone to Turkey Network. after a copule of days you can use it complately...

to my knowledge it may be because of the the frequency of the signal u r receiving in ur country. elf and elfin are triband phones.. they dont have a frequency range of 850 Mhz .. may be ur provider is giving the signal in that frequency.. try with gsm sim of other service provider may be it will help u...

thanks alot but i think my phone now is blacklisted cause as i remember i came to turkey before long time and it was working but now it is not anymore even i tried different sim cards like vodafone and turkcell but in vain. i have other phone am using now and i registered it on my passport it is working but i want to use my elf actually i dont wanna use other phone cause i love that phone that is all.

first unlock your device, then install the newest radio.

Verizon S5 Atypical Case No Service

Hello everybody
Recently received a Samsung Galaxy S5 originally from Verizon. The Phone works really well Outstanding performance ! but it has no service. Explanatio: I live in Cuba here the cellular operator is Cubacell operates on GSM. The phone finds the signal and notifies in "avaliable networks" tha Cubacel is Available... But fails registering on the network, and i don't know what to do... many technicians already "diagnose" the phone and most of them says is a problem qith QCN file, but what really worries me most is that Board IMEI is not the same the cell shows on *#06# .. so i found all these really tricky since i'm new in Android cause my previous phone was an HTC Windows Phone 8x that suddenly died and revived with no service either (a strange case for other post i hope) The S5 is SiM unlocked everybody says, besides every verizon phone is gsm unlocked by default don't they? The dark story of it is that the phone was previously unlocked for use in another company in the US and was working there perfectly. Right now the phone is running Lollipop, and no problems with WiFi restriction for Cuba so far... Registered on Samsung, on chat they send me to verizon saying phone is locked but i don't think thats the real problem...
So i'm wondering if anybody could help .... since in my country everything is so hard to get ja! and the acces to Octoplus Box or Z3X is expensive.. very...
Phone Details:
Model SM-G900V Android 5.0 Baseband G900VVRU2BOK3
Kernel 3.4.0 Build LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 Hardware G900V.00

Thanks a million in advance and greetings from Cuba...

N910F Not registered in network.. depending on what country I am in..

So I bought this phone like 2 years ago and at first it worked perfectly fine.. as I went along with my life one day it suddenly says I'm not registered in the network.. so I search the internet and everyone says the same thing settings register in network bladibla etc so everything you can try by searching on google I have tried and for the life of me this phone doesn't want to work.. as long as I'm living in France, when I go out of France it works flawlessly.. so far Spain and Austria no problem whatsoever. But upon getting back to France good old not registered and when I register it doesn't matter cause I'm still not really registered as when I try to make a call it reminds me.. the data works.. so that's beyond confusing why do I have internet but I can't use a phone for what it was meant to be in the first place... making a phone call.. So on with the ramble, the IMEI is fine its the same as on the box and it shows me that in the phone also, the SIM is properly inserted.. the 5th or so I've tried to see if the phone feels like "fixing" randomly but nope. So internet.. what's up with my phone.. why does it work in Spain and Austria and probably any other country just not the one I live in... unfortunately.

Hello sheck your imei in deferent website! i think your note 4 is black listed in France but it's working outside!!!
Do you remember from were you bought it???

Hey, I didn't check the IMEI on any website but in the phone it shows me the same one that's on the box and under the battery so I assume that's fine.. and I bought it from a store. How do I check if its blacklisted in France? because when I got it it was working fine for a while and as I said I've changed sim card like 3 times and sometimes it works at the start for a while but then it dies off.. its so random I have no idea why

I got exactly the same issue 3 years ago!!!wen I call the call centre of my career they ask the imei number and they sheck it and mi smartphone was declared stolen.

So I checked my IMEI on this site.. imeipro. info and it says it's blacklisted.. but that might be only in France? as it works in Spain and Austria.. so is there anything I can do as far fetched as it may be to change my IMEI or whatever I must do to be able to call with this phone in France?
Ok after some calls to Samsung and my service provider I have indeed bought a stolen phone like a moron now it's rooted but I need help changing the IMEI.. I tried installing Xposed framework to use the IMEI changer but I cant find one for marshmallow ARMv7 there's one on these forums somewhere but when I hit the links it says it has been moved or deleted... anyone know where I could find it?

Changing the IMEI in most countries is illegal, and as such is not to be discussed on XDA.

Hey dude,
Remove your sim.
Type *#3988691#
Should give a network unlocked messaged.
Insert SIM
Phone should automatically reboot.
Should be all good to go after that!

Where I can get the 16 Digit unlock code

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
