The phone detects the aws network for Wind mobile in canada but when I select the network it gives an error "cant connect to network". but if I put any other simcard like Rogers it connects to network right away.???.........any suggestions what could be the reason phone not sticking to aws frequency network??
no network in wcdma mode only gsm working
Hello Everyone, I am using Samsung Galaxy y gt-s5360 i and of past 2 days I am not able to surf 3g.I am able to use GPRS.But when i change the wcdma mode there is no network...even the network shows up In the notification area it says "Emergency calls only".
I went to Settings -> mobile networks, when I try to manually select my operator(Airtel, i'm from India)in wcdma mode i get the error "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".But in GSM mode it shows full network and i am able to use 2g...In Dual mode normaly the E changes to H...but from past 2 days there is no H...
I have removed the sim card, inserted in another mobile, it works fine. When I try try to insert a sim card of some other operator into my mobile I get the same errors listed above.
These are the things that I have tried.
1. Removed the sim card, battery inserted them back and restarted the phone
2. Unrooted my mobile by factory reset...
3. Tried in *#*#4636#*#* method...by turning radio on and off....But wcdma mode shows the same Ëmergency calls Only"
4.Checked imei number by *#06# ...compared it with the imei number in battery...both are same.....
Please Help me guys...I am new for this....
Every type of sim works in my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 apart from EE sims. I have been back and forth with EE on the phone and to my local store and no-on knows what the issue is.
The phone is unlocked and was working fine with my (UK) T Mobile sim. Apparently the only difference between T Mobile and EE sims is the 4G part. Interestingly, a contract EE sim returns the message "Invalid Sim". A pay as you go EE sim returns the message "No Sim". My local EE store think this is a software issue rather than hardware.
Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4
EE PAYG brings up "No Sim" error
EE contract sim brings up "Invalid Sim" error
All other networks' sims work fine
The IMEI is not blacklisted or blocked on EE
I have done a factory reset
AP: I9505XXUHOB7
CP: I9505XXUHOB7
CSC: I9505BTUHOB4
The problem is that I bought the phone off contract so EE cannot do anything and the warranty has expired. Has anyone ever heard of this problem before, and does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do next??

Since I can't think of any other reason as to why it wouldn't work. Try updating the Modem and BL.
What you should do is, remove the SIM.
Download the XXUHOB8 Modem and Bootloader.
Flash them.
Let the phone boot up.
Do a HARD reset.
Insert the SIM.
Then check.
Thanks to @Repulsa for providing us with the OB8 modem and BL.
Here's the link for the GSM/LTE modem file for your phone: https://mega.co.nz/#!65RQ3QJY!kINweEygAEWY6SlzzNGAaLkZXizqDbo2CIWFR23VzcY
Here's the link for the Bootloader for your phone:

They need to be flashed via Odin.
All you have to do is put your phone in download mode.
Power Off.
Hold Power Button + Home Button + Volume Down button
The phone will ask you to accept or not
Press the Volume Up Button to enter download mode
The screen should say "Downloading, Do not turn off target"
Connect your phone to your laptop/PC and let drivers install.
Download Odin (any version), v3.07 and 3.09 work fine for me.
Once your phone is detected, one of the rectangles in Odin should turn either yellow or blue and say the COM:ID of your phone.
Once that is done, press BL and select the bootloader file.
Then press Phone (which is modem) and select the GSM/LTE modem file.
Once they are added to Odin successfully, press Start.
It'll take barely a minute.
Once it says PASS in Odin, reboot your phone.
Do a HARD reset.
Then insert your EE SIM and see if it works.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I have never done anything to the software on my phone before. Do you have a link or anything for a really basic step by step guide for this? I just don't want to get anything wrong and risk bricking my phone.
UPDATE 1: I did manage to follow your instructions after reading them a couple of times. Thanks very much for your help. I installed Odin 3.09, and added the BL and CP and did a hard reset. Everything worked well but it is still showing "Invalid SIM card" message with the EE sim. Any other ideas of where I can go from here?
UPDATE 2: I have followed this guide here to re-install the stock firmware for the GT-I9505. I installed the UK BTU 5.0.1 firmware. All went perfectly and I did a hard reset afterwards. The devices is still showing the "Invalid SIM card" error. Could this be a hardware issue after all?

Firstly, I'm glad you installed the new OB8 modem.
Secondly, I'm just not getting convinced of the fact that this is a hardware problem. If it was, the other SIM (T-Mobile) wouldn't have worked on it.
Have you tried the EE SIMs in another phone? Also, were the SIMs issued recently or are they old ones?
T-Mobile and EE are the same network though aren't they, so I don't understand why the phone isn't accepting the SIM card.
A question for you, did you have your number ported to EE from T-Mobile or is it an entirely new number on EE?
I read on a few forums that when the number gets ported from a different carrier, the phone shows an Invalid SIM when you insert it until EE has fully ported the number.
However, if that's the case then the PAYG SIM card should've worked.
And the last question, was the device on contract from T-Mobile?
EDIT: After reading your first post again, you said that the EE PAYG SIM showed a 'No SIM' error, but the contract one showed an 'Invalid SIM' error. I have a feeling it's a SIM problem and not a hardware/software issue.
Ask EE to issue you a brand new SIM and first try it in another phone, if it works, then pop it in your S4.
basic desc in the title.
I'm tring to perform a carrier unlock. I have the proper code for my IMEI but the auto screen just stays endlessly stuck saying Registering Sim network unlock... it doesn't error confirm reject nothing. resetting and toggling airplane mode do nothing. I've tried unlocking from the dial pad but it just says mobile networks not available.
I'm moving from rogers to telus Rogers sim card works fine, anything else seems to not work.
In the setting menu I can see various network providers, but I cannot manually connect to one.
It's been giving me difficulty putting stock rom back on but as I understand it the rooted OS shouldn't be preventing the unlock.
please send help.
Can it be cured with fire?
I am having redmi note 3G 2013121 which was booting only in recovery mode. So I flashed it using SP tool and FASTBOOT ROM 7.5.2.0.KHDMIDE, but accidentally I used option Download+Format due to which I lost my IMEI number and NVRAM.
So I rooted the phone and loaded the IMEI with help of MTK DROID ROOT & TOOL.
Now My phone detects the SIM shows the operator name but no signal. I tried flashing MIUI 6, MIUI 5 but I am not able to fix it.
please help on same.
Also I loaded the NVRAM from other device 2013121 but still I am not able to fix the issue
Also when I search network manually it shows no network found or some times TATA DOCOMO 2G is shown
I tried Airtel and Vodafone Mumbai networks
