Hi all, I bought a new Galaxy Note II overseas in Malaysia in February. It is an original set fully network unlocked. I have tried using Vodafone New Zealand SIM card in it but to no avail. I tried flashing new modems and stock firmwares, ariza patch, backup and restore IMEI before and after flashing. My serial numbers and IMEI numbers are still the same and are matching to what is on the box.
If I insert a Malaysian SIM card it works on roaming mode since I am back in NZ, however if I insert a NZ SIM card and try to connect to the local network it says 'Unable to connect,' calling and messaging only results in 'Not registered to network.' And it only allows me to make emergency calls. My firmware is XXDMB2, baseband is ariza, kernel is Perseus.
I would be grateful for any help.

Have you checked the Mayalsian phone model supports NZ operator frequencies?

Just a sugestion to you, root the phone or install a pre-rooted ROM from drketan and then install Galaxy SIM Unlock to check and be sure that the phone is fully network unlocked and also not SIM restricted.
To check the SIM restriction make sure that under Details -Accepted MCC/MNC - it is writen "all" and not some numbers like 5021x were x can be any number.
Under the next line I expect your phone to have Network Lock -unlocked, because you could use any SIM and make SOS calls, but if the above line is showing some numbers instead of "all" that might be your problem.
It is worth checking this because the aplication is free to check the status of the locking.
My new Note 2 was locked, I got the official unlock code from my carrier, entered the unlock code, the Network Lock was showing as unlocked but the SIM restriction status was still showing as locked to my carrier , under Accepted MCC/MNC I had my operator network code instead of "all".
I paid 3 euro and unlocked my phone fully with the Galaxy SIM Unlock, small price for a full unlock if your phone is rooted.
Good luck
Hi mendo, thanks for the suggestion. I ran galaxsim and I will post a screenshot. I am leaning towards the serial number being generic 0. Flashing Dr Ketans rom didnt help but thanks for the advice.

The Serial Number is showing 000000000000 on mine as well, this is not an issue it must be a bug in the tool.
Use some other tool or in Settings- About Device - Staus - Serial Number to display the S/N if you want to make sure that it is the same with the one from the box.
The Product Code should be GT-N7100xxxyyy, where xxx is the HW version and yyy is the CSC (country sales code) for the country/carrier.
This Not Active product code, could be the result of your problem and it might signal that your nv_data.bin and md5 files don't match.
I found an old post for a Galaxy S phone where changing the phone code or modifing the nv_data.bin is an issue and the SIM won't register.
I am sure that there are more topics about this but I'll post the link for the Galaxy S issue where you can start investigating more.

The rest looks OK and your phone looks fully unlocked.
Here is a N7100 topic about the product code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045278
tried galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changertried galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changerCheck Fus is the only apk that will show the product code of your device with no need for root.
Unfortunately the apk doesn't work for the original purpose but at least it reads your product code.
Also it looks that the md5 checksum file is not autogenerating anymore if you edited the nv_data.bin and deleted the md5 file.
You need to restore the original bin and md5 file from an original efs backup.
I've just noticed that in your product code I can still see the CSC code as BTU.
Here is some info on the CSC and a free tool right at the end of the post if you need to change it, but it needs root and it will wipe your phone.
The apk is "galaxy s/s2/s3 csc changer".

Good luck, but I think you are in trouble and maybe only Samsung official service might be your salvation.
Wipe your root and install an official ROM before sending it to Samsung with the "product code missing" fault.
You may wish to hide the imei number as that is the one unique number that gives your phone an identity.

Product code is not active no matter what. I edited the nv_data.bin, made a backup of it, and did not delete the md5 file. I'll restore it and send it to Samsung service center. Thanks for the help brother, would've donated if possible but I'm a broke uni student
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045278
Editing the nv_data.bin will make the md5 original file useless because the checksum is different and you can't generate a valid md5 file anymore to match a modiffied nv_data.bin file.
Copying/Restoring the original nv_data.bin and original md5 files from a backup and set the permissions right, as in the Galaxy S topic might help.
Hello, did you solve your problem? I'm facing a similar issue with my N7100, I got the same message not registered on network and my sim isn't recognized. How did you fix it?
my IMEI is correct, I got exactly this problem
thnaks for help
Hi guys,
I need your help: I get a Galaxy S9 with active CSC set in SMP (it is an unknown version because it's a sample).
I flashed a multi CSC firmware SM-G960F because I need an ITV (Italy) CSC on it (I want OTA and also Samsung Pay Service).
I don't know why, but when I flash the CSC it set automatically on Germany/DE Status with no chance to change it. The Active CSC remains SMP and CSC Status sets into Germany/DE.
I'm sure I've downloaded from Updato the ITV version of the firmware.
In the past years it was very simple because it need only the correct firmware of your country region to solve the problem. But now with this damn Multi CSC it is impossible!
I tried many ways and guides found here but no one solved the problem.
I wanna change it without rooting the device.
Any suggestions?
Thank you so much in advance

Apparently it's impossible to get around it because of this multi CSC no matter what firmware you flash it will not get rid of the carrier firmware on the phone.
qualcomm 9650ds, flashed a multi csc firmware, a window popped up:
SIM card change Restart your phone to configure the functions compatible with your new SIM card. This will reset the phone to its default settings and delete all data, including files and downloaded applications. NOW NO RESTAB. AND RESTART
After restarting, the correct csc has been read. (probably has something to do with the Sim card)
PS: if chosed now no, the 4g signal bar showed LTE; if yes, the bar showed 4g

For the SM-G9650DS, would you mind sharing which multi-csc firmware did you use exactly? which CSC are you on?
1. Launch your phone’s dialer, and type in the following code, and replace the italics text via your phone’s IMEI number. “*#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#”
2. Your phone will automatically pop up a screen, with some fancy codes all over it. Don’t freak out yet.
3. You will notice some codes with a radio button beside each and every one of it. These are the CSC codes that your galaxy device supports.
4. All you need to do is select the one code that fancies you, and head over back to home.
5. Now, your device will automatically restart, and factory reset itself.

Bad idea.
I did dis using the code with s10+ but aftr csc change from INS to BTU i couldn't go bk to original csc using the same *#272*imei# method. None of d known csc changing methods worked 2 go bk 2 original csc. Combination fwrs also dint work due to Samsung restrictions. Samsung service centre also couldn't fix & then Samsung replaced the phone finally. It ws a nightmare.
same on one of my devices A102U or A505U cantbremember which right now and dont have it on me but it only worked when i had a sprint sim in for some reason then i changed it to gcf then the code no longer worked lol.. so its stuck in gcf as i cannot find another way to change csc and both do not allow flashing combo firmware lol
although its not bad.. itssimilar to using xaa firmware and network info is set automatically with new sim..
i believe it only works on certain csc so have a backup plan if you plan on messin with it
Quick disclaimer, I already changed CSC through Samkey and don't want to wipe my phone to test this but this is entirely based on the few people who have said it works for various phones on Tapatalk and XDA.
Haven't seen this posted or mentioned but just found a new CSC method that has seen to be working.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE
Download Google Phone app.
Dial this code: *# *#27262826# *# * (no spaces)
All CSC you can install should now appear as long as you have multi CSC firmware.
Hi, i have a stock firmware AUT (switzerland) installed, but if i insert swisscom (SWC) sim, does it automatically change AUT to SWC? Thanks
Using SIM of another country does change CSC, if it didn't, simply go to recovery mode and it shall apply the new CSC code.
However, it's not guaranteed which CSC will it convert to, as there were reports of a different applied CSC code than the country's one.
I found patched Odin 3B.
You can reflash rom for any possible region and 3 fields in CSC will be changed. Last one no.

Well, i dont want to change csc code, but if i insert the sim card of swisscom (still switzerland) does it still change csc code? (Without wiping) Or does it stay in AUT?

It won't wipe anything unless you manually change CSC using dial code or any other way to trigger the change.
Using another country's SIM does change CSC (after a reboot). You sound like you don't want to change CSC .. right?

And.. you said using another countrys sim does change csc (after a reboot), but does it change csc if i insert the sim card of same country (but another carrier)?

The Operating System has a list of every SIM carrier out there. The SIM itself does tell the phone which country it belongs to.
Using different carriers on the se device, in the same country does not trigger CSC change. The trigger only starts when another country is reported to the phone.
If you want to skip CSC change, there may be two ways, either root your device, or disable the system apps responsible for it.

You receive a brand new phone >> The phone asks you to insert the SIM card and reboot >> You follow >> The phone applies the new CSC code respectively for your country >> You simply use your phone as a normal citizen would in that country.
You return back to your country >> You insert your country's SIM >> Phone asks you to reboot >> Your original CSC is back.
Thank you so much!!!
