I have an unbranded unlocked s8 that I got off amazon. I tried flashing the firmware to att (following the "switch to any carrier firmware 100%" post) to get wifi calling. After flashing it I was able to get the wifi calling option but whenever I click on it I get an error saying "Oops! We can't turn on Wi-Fi Calling for your account. Think this message is a mistake? Ask the person who can make account changes to call us...". Now my question is can this be fixed by giving att a different imei number? Currently they have the number for my unlocked s8, so say if I give them the imei number from my friend's att s6(he is currently using) would this feature start working?
Side question: I downloaded Phone INFO and Original CSC code is blank and Firmware's CSC Code and Active CSC code are both ATT is that how it's supposed to be? Also in download mode CARRIER still says XAA do either of these things matter?

Does it matter if I give them an imei number from a phone that is currently being used on their network already? And do imei numbers ever update automatically or once I tell them the new number it was stay that number even if my phone actually has a different one?

Reason why ymmv is because some people said they have put their spouses imei number and it has worked. Others have said it reverted back to their original imei number.
When the phone tries to register for wifi calling, the IMEI of the phone needs to match the one ATT has registered to your sim card. Chat with ATT support online and give them your new IMEI. After they make the change, wifi calling will work.

Recently unlocked my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge. I decided to transfer my sim from my iPhone to my Samsung. I can text and call but my mobile data is not working. I believe it has something to do with my apn settings. But once I try to go to my apn settings it says "Unable to view access point name. Access is restricted to current user profile.
Would love to have someone to help me fix this problem.
What carrier is your s7
Globe (from the Philippines) gotnit unlocked and moved to Canada and using a Canadian sim atm
Sounds like a common problem going back to the introduction of mm. Carries implemented it to stop users from getting free Hotspot usage without them having the feature on there plans.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/apn-settings-t3072391
Here's some info I found on it with a possible fix on one of the post. Also the sprint s7e forum has users talking about losing the ability to change apn after OTAs
Sorry my Internet is dreadfully slow and having a hard time browsing through this forum. So do I have to root my phone in order to make the modifications to get my 3g to work?
Still having problems but I'm getting somewhere..
The carrier I bought this phone from did some retarded modifications to this phone.
So most likely the problem is this "user profile" it might be fixed if I can change or delete it or whatever. But the problem is I can't find the place where you can change this user profile. It seems it's supposed to be in "about device" but there is nothing that could change the user profile. I think the previous carrier somehow modified it stupidly. Reformatting doesn't help BTW.

I have the same problem. Did you get this fixed?
Globe-locked S7 unlocked.
Same thing here. I just recently unlock my phone using the unlock code given to me by Globe telecom but when I use different sim network, I can only do call & text. I contacted Globe and the agent told me that unlocking is for call & text only and mobile data still locked to Globe.
Can we bypass this by reflashing openline firmware or wait for Oreo update?

After the Oreo update, I still have same issue. But before I upgraded to Oreo, I managed to fix the issue. I was trying to root my device (Nougat), unfortunately, it failed. So I downloaded openline firmware (PH version) for S7 in Sammobile and reflashed. I think I missed flashing CSC file but it was successful. The other sim network worked fine and can be used for data already. But when I checked for OS updates, it has no CSC code indicated, and my settings interface was like from UK (not sure). So I reflashed again with CSC file already and it got back to Globe interface and same issue occured. Haha. But the point is, we can fix the issue by changing CSC.

Great mate! What csc can we use? Thanks!
CSC Codes
Google the list of CSC codes per country.
To change CSC code, enter *#272*Device IMEI#
Tried XTC (Philippines - Open Line) and it worked.
WARNING: This procedure will wipe the data of your phone. This may also void the warranty. Do this at your own risk.
I have a used Rogers Galaxy S4 I337M (from Ebay) and I have purchased an unlock code from a third party site. The problem is I cannot for the life of me get the phone to prompt me for the unlock code. I've tried Bell and Fido SIMs with no luck (they work on the phones I pulled them from just fine).
I've tried flashing stock 4.2.2 and trying all of the dialer codes I could find. I've also used Samsung Kies to restore the latest lollipop firmware, but this still does not prompt and the dialer codes don't work here also.
I've also tried going into the dialer service menu (*#0011#) and enable PERSO SHA256 ON and reboot, and still no prompt. Foreign SIMs either show "Unregistered SIM" or "Emergency Calls Only".
The only way I managed to generate a prompt was to do an NV rebuild from the service menu, and the unlock code said it was successful, but the phone still refuses to get any service. The phone does see the networks when I got to Network Operators, but it fails to register or says "unable to connect, try again later".
Can anyone help me get this phone working?
You confirmed that the model # is sgh-i337m in download mode?
The imei from the dialler (*#06#) matches the imei on the label under the battery?
The imei from the dialler is blacklisted?
Tried flashing the latest ROM using Odin?
Tried unlocking the phone using the free method with regionlockaway?

Thanks for your reply, looks like the imei is blacklisted (hadn't thought of that). I guess I'll see if I can get myself a refund.
If you want to keep the phone, try to have the seller get it removed from the blacklist database.
Hey all. Been trying to figure out, for about a month now, why I haven't been able to make calls, text, or use data since flashing a ROM. Just found out today why.... My IMEI number ha changed to the default one Sprint used for CDMA, and the actual IMEI number I activated my Sim with has been moved to the MEID spot. The network I'm on needs the GSM/UMTS IMEI number in order for me to be able to use my phone...
The phone is a G900P with Marshmallow. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to flash back an original rom with odin ? If yes try samsung tool pro cracked to work without box , it can restore imei .
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.
I'm trying to get my SM-G935V to work eventually work on Sprint. I already flashed my firmware over to SM-G935U. However, the Sprint IMEI check says it won't work on their network. At a Sprint store, the rep won't even try at a store to test out a Sprint SIM to see if it works. Would a Sprint SIM work in my phone before having my IMEI whitelisted (if that's even possible)?
My second option while waiting was to use Red Pocket. I got a plan, I got a SIM card, but I got "Error! Activation Error We are sorry, but due to the rules set by our underlying carrier, your phone number cannot be activated on our CDMA LTE service."
The third option was trying to change my IMEI which appears still legal to do in the US, but not possible to do on my phone because it won't bring up Engineering Mode with the codes. My thought was it was because my CSC still shows as VZW. I thought G935UOYM9CSC2 was XAA originally but I can't get that to show up.
Any other ideas on getting off Verizon with this phone?
Flash the Unlocked firmware on it. You will have to use a modded Odin, see the appropriate thread for that.
However, it will not change the IMEI. If the phone is currently locked in a contract... there is no way around.
Changing IMEI is illegal and will cause problems.
I had never switched my SIM card from the Verizon network to another one until today. It reboots into recovery and changes the CSC. This is after flashing to SM-G935U firmware. When I was on the VZW CSC the secret codes (USSD codes) wouldn't work. After swapping in an AT&T SIM card, the codes now work. Red Pocket white listed my IMEI no problem. Now if I can get Sprint to do it...
