I would like to apply the network lock to my phone again. The reason being, I can't get the official update to Froyo for my i9000.
I have multiple friends who have the same phone, and I had one of them over the other day. I plugged her phone into my computer, opened up Kies, and it told me there was an update for the firmware.
I then unplugged her phone and plugged mine in, but Kies then said that there was no update for this phone.
The only difference between the two phones is the network lock.
I have the same firmware and everything.
Any ideas what the problem would be?
Thanks

I'm having this problem which started right now, without even rebooting the phone or doing any kind of procedure. The phone accepts the pin code for the sim card, shows signal on the notification bar, but I can't make any calls, and it doesn't recognize the network on the notification bar - however, on the phone information area it has no problem recognizing the network.
Any idea on what's happening? I'm on JPU btw!
edit: after a couple of reboots it's working again Well, the problem is solved; still, should I be worried about this behaviour?
how did you solve this problem? im having same issues
this is crazy i am having the very same problem, my I9000T was on charge i shut down my pc then disconnected the I9000T, and since then it does not see my sim card, i have tried three different sim cards without any luck, the phone is rooted, and funnily enough i was reading about Darky`s v8 rom as this was my next step i wanted to do today GGRRrrr does anyone have any ideas on this, or do i unroot it and take it back to the shop i bought it from ?? thanks and regards in advance

Hi Team,
I have heard lot about this forum and hope to get some gud suggestions from you guys.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS 6 months back but slowly I started facing few problems when my friends noticed and told me that your phone sometimes says switch off.
I also realized that sometimes even if the airtel network is there still i get an error message that mobile network not available I had to switch off the phone to get it normal.
Again people text me but it goes on pending and gets delivered after hours. I showed this problem to the service center they flashed my mobile but the problem persist I also tried changing my sim card but still all in vain. Now i am literally fed up with this phone.
Please assist me I dont know wat to do :crying:
Note: The phone is not rooted.
Thank you
err, are you sure this is because of the phone..? not the network..? because i never face any of the problems you mention..
may be you should try flashing stock rom with newest baseband for your region, find it on sammobile..

He said the service centre guys reflashed the rom. but agree that the sms thing could be network problem.
Faulty battery/pins (Switch offs)
Faulty hardware (Antenna?)
That's all I can identify.
Hi Guys !!!
Thanks for sharing your views
@demiorkan
The mobile automatically does not gets switched off but i need to do it manually as it keeps on prompting the error message "Mobile network not available" though I can see full network on my mobile.
I would really appreciate if I get any suggestions from your side.
Let me know if any more information is required.
If you dont mind you could try flashing another stock rom and see if that works out. If it did not, then it's probably a hardware problem OR the network (as mentioned). Try your SIM card on another phone as well, that should prove if there is problem with the network or not.
Mostly it might be a firmware problem. Service center might not have flashed a new firmware but simply wiped and gave back. (can't be sure on that). So I recommend on using ODIN and flash new firmware. Google is your best friend on this.
Secondly about the network, Turn on flight mode once and turn it off, you'll get the signal. You can even do some debugging by going to the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle the radio and the preferred connection type and stuff. But if the place where you are is such that you get low signal, then don't try any things on phone as it's ultimately the network problem. Trust Me, the place where I stay, I rarely get proper reception and Even I'm on the same network. Flight Mode trick saves the unnecessary reboot.
I updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 a few days ago and the phone was perfectly fine. Just yesterday I factory reset the phone because I've read online the battery is better after that so I did it and restore my data with smart switch after. The sim card was working last night. I fully charged the phone and unplugged it and left it there until morning. When I woke up i noticed that the phone is stuck in emergency calls only. So i just waited the whole day for it to reconnect it self because this happens when i lose service (i rarely do at home but sometimes). Till now I still cannot connect to a network. I tried rebooting, resetting the network settings and selecting the available network providers from the phone search. after doing the search it did not include my own carrier (mobilicity). I am in Canada and the phone is the Canadian variant. The phone search showed telus, bell and wind and cdn roaming. I reinserted the sim card no luck. I can try to factory reset but I doubt it would work. Any one can help me out????
BTW the phone is UNROOTED no mods or anything done to it.

I did some research I think there's something wrong with my Sim card as I can't scan my network through the manual scan. So I'm gonna replace it tomorrow and see if that fixes it. If not then I may just switch to another phone.

Hello!
I am new to this forum and also completely new to phone modding etc.
I will shortly explain what situation I am in so maybe someone can enlighten me a little so I know what to do.
A year ago I bought a phone on polish trading site called Allegro.pl, for months it worked without issues, it was a brand new phone.
A few weeks ago a message popped on screen telling me the phone is now locked due to failure in monthly payments. (Previous owner).
I tried all ways of contacting the seller but to no avail. His phone number is off, he does not answer e-mails.
I decided to just ditch the phone and use some old backup phone I had saved. The problem however is that the old phone died and right now I can't afford buying a new one.
Getting this phone into a working condition (without any lock) is my only option so here are the things I have done so far:
I have flashed the latest Android 10 Firmware but right after the initial set up is done (after recovery) the phone locks.
There is no window with the information anymore however, but I can't use any of phone's options or apps in anyway.
I have found a way to bypass that for a brief moment and managed to turn OEM lock off and Enable USB debugging.
(When phone asks for Wi-Fi network I used my old SIM card and told the phone to connect using SIM's connection and right after the initial setup is done I quickly unplugged the SIM so the phone has no connection to internet anymore and the lock didn't start right away. It took me a while to figure it out, been sitting in front of my PC up until 5 am last night.)
If I install TWRP and a custom rom will it bypass the lock on the phone and will I be able to use it normally again?
Will I have to change the firmware somehow, or what exactly will I have to do to make use of the phone again?
IMEI's appear to not be locked as of now.
Any help, information, advice on this subject will be greatly appreciated!
I recently bought a second-hand S10 off eBay with the intention of refurbishing it. The screen was badly damaged and I was able to fix it. The phone runs as it should but it turns out it has an issue. Whatever sim I put inside, It doesn't recognize it, Defaulting to Emergency calls only. At first, I tried checking the IMEI number to see if the phone was blacklisted; From what I could find nothing really helped. One website said that Telstra had blacklisted it in 2021 and most of the others said that it was clean with an expired warranty. (IMEI: 354616100350193) I am currently installing Aussie (TEL) firmware onto it to see if that helps due to the fact that it had Baltic (SEB) firmware on it. I'm not sure if the phone is locked to Telstra though, as I put in a Telstra sim and it also couldn't recognize that. Here is where it gets weird. I ended up trying to root the phone but forgot to flash an RMS disabler and the phone got bricked. I used Odin to reflash the Baltic firmware onto it and alas, it booted again, This time it had a data connection though. I used it for a while but then had to call someone, they picked up and we both said hello; Then the phone hung up and the issue started again. Somehow calling someone made the phone bug again but messaging that same person and using data didn't?
TL;DR: So the phone is capable of reading the sim but chooses not to, and somehow bricking it fixed it until I called someone.
