First, im from Australia.
i bought the galaxy note 10.1 (2014) LTE second hand few months ago, didnt see any branding on box or bloatwares. its 4G version, local stock (seller said from dicksmith). i tried with voda simcard and it works, both call and data. i cant remember if i tried with other simcard at that time....
it had 4.4.2 originally, but then i flashed 5.1.1 nordic rom via odin yesterday - dirty flashed.
all good, flashed ok, connected to wifi fine and start downloading updates, etc.
the voda sim card is still working fine, i got 4G signal and able to make calls, etc.
BUT
today i tried to swap simcard with telstra, and it didnt recognised! there is no warning something like "network locked" or something like that, it didnt connected to the network, cant make call or get data.
also with tpg simcard, doesnt work either.
weird. any idea why? is it possible the flashing process has somehow locked the simcard tablet can use (in this case, voda)?
after trying with different sim card from different provider, now im 99% sure mine is LOCKED~!!!
anyone know how to unlocked?

Hi, I'm a noob, forgive me. I bought my Desire HD from Singapore, which came unlocked. Then, I downgraded it, and rooted it. Everything went fine. Then one day, after flashing a rom and flashing the recommended radio (forgot which rom), my phone suddenly lost signal, and I have been unable to get it back since. It says "Limited Service Emergency Calls Only" It detects the SIM card, but when I try to connect to my home network, it says that my SIM does not allow a connection to that network. So, I flashed back to stock, both Froyo and Gingerbread, assuming that it replaces the radio with the default radio. (Is that so?) However, that does not work. Now I fear that I might have flashed the wrong stock rom, which might be the problem. Does anyone know what is the stock rom for the Desire HD shipped to Singapore unlocked (software number, etc) and how can I get it? Also, how can I check the rom's information (software number, whether it is for asia, or is it WWE... etc) THANKS A LOT
PS. I tried getting a replacement SIM. it does not work. it is a 128k sim card. (Does that help?)

Also, other SIMs work on my Desire HD. My SIM doesnt, but works on other phones.
Can I flash a rogers e971 modem on my unlocked e973? Not sure if the hardware is different (don't want a brick). I just thought signal may be better if I did this
Yup.
Hi Crixley, Everyone,
I have an E973 which was originally a Bell phone. I installed the stock 4.4.2 months ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771440) and it worked great. However, today I wanted to give the phone to my brother, so put in his Rogers SIM in the phone, it just says "Searching for Network" and never connections - it detects the network in the "Search Network" options, but says "No Service" if I select Rogers (or any of the other networks). If I put my Bell SIM in, it works immediately and if I put my Rogers SIM in a Xperia X1 or my Nexus 5 it also works right away.
Does anyone have any ideas? I factory reset and wiped the phone to try to resolve it but its made no difference. I also tried installing the E971 modem based on this thread, but also no change to the errors (though my Bell SIM still works fine after the flash).
What it says above suggests it should work - I do not need LTE, just basic phone call/texting service.
Thanks a lot,
Peter
Hello, recently I had to reinstall stock tmo on my s6 edge because of a soft brick.
Everything was back to normal, my phone is unlocked to use in Brazil. After a couple of days running stock tmo, the phone stopped connecting to the network I use, but still had data connection. So now I can only use 4g but can´t place calls.
Any suggestions? Should I try different radio firmware? Different ROM?
Thanks!
Problem solved, bad imei.
Bro, the problem is that your phone is locked. I had the same problem and the solution was unlocking the phone. In this comunity there is a guy who unlock phones for free! check his post...

Ok So I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy s3 (SGH-T999L) (LTE Version). I previously rooted it and installed custom ROM using Cyanogenmod, then changed to TWRP later. Then, i wanted to revert to stock and unrooted my phone. I was told to install latest firmware and did so (Android 4.3 T999LUVUBOH1). Since then, i went from T-Mobile to MetroPCS. The phone is unlocked. When trying to use metropcs sim card on s3, it works for about 5 minutes (able to call & text), then all of a sudden i get NO SIGNAL and cannot do ANYTHING! I used my husband's metropcs sim card and same thing happened. Then, I tried my mom's AT&T sim card and it did seem to work fine for awhile. I tried accessing mobile networks to change APN while I had my mom's sim in there and was able to but when i insert my sim card it says: "Insert Sim to access network services" and there IS a sim in there. Our sims work fine on other phones. I don't understand what's going on. I've tried to flash a modem and even rooting it again, but Odin keeps failing or not responding. I cannot flash ANYTHING!!! Please help!
Flash back to a stock ROM and make sure everything works. Once this is done, call MetroPCS to see if they need to register the phone's imei on their system.
Thanks. It had official stock Rom already on it. I can try again if Odin decides to work for me. I have USB debugging on. I'll let you know what happens. I will also call Metro PCS. thanks again.

Omgoodness!! Thank you SO much! Calling metro pcs worked. I'm in disbelief! So simple, I didn't even think of it. I really appreciate your help!
No problem. Glad it worked. We're all here to help and learn from each other.
My friend brought an original refurbish Samsung N910v android version 5.01 which was working with GSM 2G if not 3G until when I tried to update to new version android v6.0.1. In the menu>setting>about when I checked first before anything it showed me N910 F v5.01 but in boot mode Odin it was N910v.The problem started when I just typed *#9090# the phone immediately started reboot loop. I have managed to unlock the boot loader and root the phone installed custom rom version 6.0.1 by Paul Pizz rom VRU2CPJ2.r-1 but still can not have 2G or 3G GSM network. Please help to revive the phone again whether it meant to go back to 5.0.1 that would work with gsm cause am full stack now.
Have you checked to ensure you have the APN information in place? I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910V now (just got it a few days ago) and when I put my T-Mobile SIM in it from the very first time I have to manually put in the APN data - on custom ROMs it's usually picked up and there automagically but not always so, my suggestion is that you check to make sure your APN information is currently there as it should be.
Settings - More - Cellular networks - Access Point Names - make sure the one you need to be using is selected and if it's not then you'll have to put that info in manually and save it.
As for the actual model number, take the battery out and see what the model number is on the sticker in the battery compartment area - if the sticker isn't there then it could be a device that someone has done some experimenting with because that info can be changed. The sticker should be there, of course, but sometimes people take 'em out when they're mucking around with stuff, who knows.

The APN will be your network. Are trying to use Verizon? If so, you should have a spot to tic the VZWINTERNET. If not, then you have a sim card issue.
ziggy the how do i sort out the sim card issue ,Since phone says this sim card is not from verizon

Is the sim from verizon? If you have a good account go to a corporate store and have them give you a new one. It's free.
Also, what are your APN settings and I will compare to mine. Everything works on mine.
the fone I have came from china ,am in Africa and remember I told you it was working woth N910f firmware version 5.0.1.All am asking is there anyway I could make this fone work again on Gsm network, cause all it says after re flash is the card is not from verizon
I now rooted this n910v android version 5.1.1 still no network, am in Africa where there is 2G&3G GSM network, how would I make this fone to work again with the gsm network now that I rooted. On the network bar I get a circle with a cross ,how to make this work

- N910VVRU2CPJ2_FullFirmware_NoAboot<--- Full Framework with no aboot so you will not re-lock bootloader, but will unroot and restore back to 100% stock. once your on the full stock check if your connections are working fine, if they are then install custom rom, otherwise change the sim card
go in settings, connections and select network mode to global, should be fine
