Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network

Hi
I have a big problem with my N1, this day i used my phone as normal, calls, web and so on...
Now my phone are completly unable to connect to my provider Telenor, i have tryed the sim card in another phone and that works nice so the problem is the telephone.
My phone is a "Open phone" with this info:
firmware:2.1-update1
radio:32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
kernel:2.6.33-msm-tek...
buildnr:ere27
I have updated radio with:TheOfficial_Nexus1_Radio_Update_4.03.00.21_2 (for ere27)
I have wiped and installed my NexDESIRE-v1.2_REMIX two times without any luck.
WLAN works nice.
Are there anybody else that can help me?
Thanks
Regards

This was an odd problem.. I my self have a N1 running with a Telenor simcard in Norway, and i have had no problems, have been running Stock, cyanogenMod, + other roms, and never had any problems like this, now i'm running 2.2 and no problems what so ever..
Try Flashing the new 2.2 update this includes a new radio image. Remember nandroid backup first!.. and WIPE everything just to be safe..

This could also be that your phone are trying to connect to Netcom instead of the Telenor network.. try this steps:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network operators > then select Telenor from the list. If every things ok, it should say "Registered on network" (sometimes the phone use some time searching for network operators).
BTW..: Wrong section, this one should be in Q&A

Hmm
Yes,this is pretty wierd sinse i have used this ROM for monts now without any problems.
I have read all evening but no luck...
The link you gave me did not work :-(

the link is updated http://http:// in a link is one to many
try froyo, thats my only/best guess on getting this to work again. Worst case call HTC. So you have tried the method selecting network operator manualy?

Jepp, i have tryed to change manualy between Telenor and NetCom but none for them will work, i now also tryed to load the phone with the ROM you suggested but no luck...
So sad... :-|

then i have no idea what so ever.. try calling HTC costumer service and ask them if they can help you, just remember not to tell them that your phone have a unlocked boot loader as this voids the warranty.. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful..

Thanks, you have been great help
Then i will pick up my Nokia 9210i and call HTC tomorrow.
Thanks...

I had the same problem, it may be a problem with NexDesire.
I flashed nexDesire and over night the radio died on me. I tried multiple different SIM's and ROMS (which I can account that work on my brother's Nexus One fine) with no luck.
I had to send it back to HTC, we'll see how it comes out when I get it back in a few days.

Leave the phone sitting for 5 minutes, if it still hasn't found it try doing a manual network search. If it still won't work, pull the battery, boot up again and repeat the process. I've had to do this 3-4 times a couple of times to get it to pickup my network.

Opps, that dosen't sound good...
This is a little cises for me sinse this is my "tool at work".
Should i go back too Mr iPhone ?? :-|
But thanks for info.

WEIRD! Emergency call only! O_o

This one is pretty *beep* up! The phone was working pretty fine last time I looked at it (30 minutes ago), I put it in my pocket and had dinner (as always), then I took it out to make a phone call and it says just "Emergency call only" instead of showing my phone operator (3 ITA). I tried rebooting, no luck! Still the same.
Strange thing is that it has signal (full) but I can't make/receive calls or use data network. If I go under Settings -> Wifi -> Mobile networks settings and I look for operators it searches and I can see all of them (mine included) but I cannot select it!! Neither mine nor another one (TIM, which is the roaming default one for my operator when there's no signal)...it just says "Unable to connect. Try later".
Weirdest thing of all is that I AM RECEIVING PUSH EMAILS from gmail!!!
Anyone has a clue about this??? Has it ever happened to anyone?
Btw, I'm using zeroblaster rom, which is based on official italian froyo firmware...everything was working so good until ten minutes ago!
Hope I don't have to reflash...

Just got weirder: put my sim on another phone...it registers without problems on the network.
Then put the other's phone's sim on my sgs...it registers without problems.
Then switched again: Emergency calls only
WHAT THE ****??!? (what are we? children? sorry mod...lol)

Sounds like it may be ur sim card but its weird it would work in another phone. Perhaps its a mix of ur sim and ur rom. A flash may be ur only fix...

It is WAY weird imho! The weirdest thing being that I'm still receiving gmail's pushes after 5-6 reboots while it keeps saying "emergency calls only".
Also I saw that when the phone boots, while it's loading the launcher, widgets, etc. it gets the connection for like 2-3 seconds it shows my operator (in the lockscreen), then it switches to "emergency calls only"...
I'll wait another hour (maybe as the issue came out of nowhere it'll go away? ) then I'll try reflashing...since I had to change to k9 anyway to fix the /system corruption etc. -.- I'm already backing-up...
Hope the flash will fix this though...it's really a pain in the ***

No that's not it, because putting H3G sim on another phone WORKS!!
And anyway, when H3G's down it uses TIM as roaming...this time I cannot even select TIM as operator, it refuses! And normally you can always use tim in roaming if you want (even when H3G has signal...)!

Hmmmm... That is weird alright.
If you purchased your SGS through your carrier H3G I would still call them to report it as there are now 2 of you experiencing the same issue so it cant just be phone related and if it is then they will have to honor your warranty to replace or fix it (both of you)...

It's happening to me too.. i also use H3G Italy on my Galaxy S and i have this issue since around 19:00 this evening with my work SIM card
I have a Tayutama 1.0.0 ROM based on the JPM Froyo ROM.. it's the first time this is happening to me..

Well... That is 3 of you so it must be carrier related in some way. Again... Call your carrier and explain what is happening. Explain that when you put the sim into a different device it works ok but in the SGS all you can do is make emergency calls and they should be able to tell you what is going on.
Make sure to post back as I am now interested in seeing what your issue is / was...

JP5 (i tried another one, don't remember what version but it's the same, it is not firmware related)
in settings->about phone->status it says:
network: 3 ITA
mobile network type: UMTS
service state: out of service
mobile network state: connected (and it works... )
but ... int the status bar it shows "Only emergency calls"...
i haven't tried another phone yet... will do now...

You just answered your own question I think. "service state: out of service" says it all I believe even if the sim cards DO rgister on another phone for whatever reason.
The fact is the they dont register on your Galaxy S so call them and report the issue and they should be able to help you...

Yeah well, you see, that could be a problem because...H3G has a TERRIBLE customer care, lol! Basically the thing is you can't call them...you need to send an email, and an answer will arrive 2-3 days later. That's not good enough for me! If it doesn't get fixed tomorrow I'll go directly to a 3shop and they'll call someone higher to understand this. Hope they fix it soon though!
Anyway...now I have a strong curiosity: could it be JUST the SGS? If so...WHY???? I tried putting the simcard on a Nokia E71 and it works...does anyone have another android phone with H3G? Could it be somehow "system"-related? Because I can't figure out why a specific phone device shouldn't work point-blank with my operator! And that's even a phone they sell themselves!!

Rebooted and now it WORKS! THANK GOD (even if I'm atheist....)
Still would like to know why it did this!

I had a similar problem where if I was in an area with bad reception it would default to emergency calls only. But the funny thing is when I go into the menu settings I can see my carrier and when I try to select it, it says network unreachable. Eventually I would get signal but the tab still says emergency calls only. Tried making calls but it wouldn't allow.
Initially to rectify the problem I rebooted the phone and that worked but got annoying. So I realised that if I left it for a couple of mins whenn it had reception it would fix itself. As of recently (last 2 months) I haven't any problems.
Btw i'm on jpm and my carrier is 3 australia. It's rubbish service

Hello,
Same thing happening to me... It must have something related to signal strength, i went downtown and phone was perfectly fine.
But at home it keeps loosing signal, i dialed *#*#0011#*#* and it shows changing BAND... as if it was searching for service on different bands...
But the thing is, i tried inserting the SIM on other 2 phones and i get a FULL signal, so i guess signal is coming pretty intense here... why is the SGS loosing it? i have no idea...
By the way, i am from Brazil, and that started happening after i flashed my rom to FROYO VJJPA..

me too, has no signal at home but works for another phone.

[Q] No Service - Insert Sim Card to access network services

Hi Everybody.
Well, i bought my Samsung Galaxy 6 months ago and it's a awesome phone, but now I've got some issues.
4 Months ago - My phone comes with froyo 2.2.1 so I decided to update it using kies to Gingerbread 2.3.3, after that, My phone starts to had some issues, first when I press the home button the phone didn't response, the screen was in black but I could get calls, messages and lisening to music, this was solved after reboot the phone but in any time could happen again.
Now - because the issue before, I decided to use Darky's rom 10.1 and the issue suddenly dissapear.
After 1 moth and a half I decided to flash Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock rom and a new issue appears and since there, I can't solve it.
Sometimes, my phone get lost its signal and when to "Network Selection" a message comes out "Insert Sim Card to access network services", I can't do any call o use 3g, the only way to solve it temporarily is rebooting the phone.
I use many versions (JVP, JVQ, JVR, even MIUI) but the issue still happen.
Please, I'd aprecciate if you can give some help to solve my problem.
Regards.

That's what I thought, but I changed my sim card when the problem began.
Should I change my sim card again?

I think he meant changing a new sim card with the phone company?

Yes you should replace that sim card from your company.

ok, I'm going to chanche my NEW SIM CARD (becase it's new) for another one.
I hope this will solve my problem, I'll let you know if everything is ok or not.
Thanks.

I have just solved a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S I9003.
The reason was software unrelated but seemed to be a hardware connection problem. The phone was unable to access the mobile network showing a "No Service" status, also the IMEI number was unknown on the phone settings. The mobile wasn't even requesting the SIM Card code when it was turned on. But the rest of the services were working properly (wifi, bluetooth, etc).
Although i tried everything such as re-flashing, re-rooting and even IMEI restoration techniques such as in youtube "Samsung Galaxy S (IMEI Restoration Techniques)", I was unable to fix it.
The solution was to open the phone and just adjust the sim card slot connectors. I will keep the phone on testing to see if that happens again.

[Q] My Note cannot make/receive phone calls anymore :(

I think my N7000 is broken. Since a couple of days I cannot make or receive phone calls with my SIM card from the carrier 3 (Three Sweden). I've tried two different SIM cards from 3 but it's the same problem. Data traffic still works though since I can surf the Internet without problem. When trying to make a phone call it immediately hangs up, and if I try to make a call to the phone it's unreachable. My phone is unbranded/unlocked BTW.
I've tested with SIM cards from two other carriers and they both work.
The only think I can think of is that 3G voice calls are somehow broken on my N7000. My carrier only supports 3G and maybe that's what's broken... what do you think? (the other cards I tested also supports 2G and maybe that's the reason they worked, but I'm not sure).

I think your issue is the same as mine, though to clarify my issue somewhat:
When the phone does this and I try to make a call it doesn't hang up, it kinds of gets stuck and keeps waiting for the back-end to respond. Similarly, trying to send or receive SMS messages doesn't work either. Rebooting fixes this, though it may happen again quite soon or it may take several days to happen again.
I think it is some background-process related to radio operation getting stuck, though I cannot say what causes it. Factory reset and even full reformat and reset had no effect.
I hope ICS fixes the issue.

What I've tried so far is:
Full wipe - No change
Next step will be to visit my carrier store downtown and test yet another SIM card from them. If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to get it repaired.
Oh yes... I tried another card from another carrier (Telenor) and changed Network Mode from "GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)" to "WCDMA only" and it still worked. So now I'm not sure why it doesn't work on Tre ?!?
/Tubgirl

Update: Got a new SIM card from Three but unfortunately it didn't help. Tomorrow I'll send my phone to get repaired :-(

i got the same problem but is t mobile uk, "Data traffic still works though since I can surf the Internet without problem. When trying to make a phone call it immediately hangs up" I tried others sim vodafone, o2 both work without problem.
Factory reset, different stock roms no help...

Yep, same here. I just downgraded to KK4 stock ROM using Odin and it still didn't help.
Cannot send/receive SMS either.

I guess I have a Galaxy Tab 5.3 now

I have a similar issue, some times i cant call and receaved calls ends few seconds after hanging up.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

i give up, i changed the network providers to 3 network everythings back to normal.

I can't find the link right now but I read somewhere that there's a hidden area on the phone where IMEI and other carries specific information is stored. As I understand that area is not restored when flashing ROMs. Maybe there's a chance that area has been corrupted??
Brgds... /Tubgirl

In my case , I cannot receive call - I believe it is software issue.
Is there any workaround how to fix it ?

Have you checked that your IMEI is fine (matches the one in the box or the one below the battery)?

i doubt its software issue, i also thought that i was having a software issue, after so many roms that i tried flashing, same result. stock or customized. I went to samsung service center and they had it tested, replaced the board that has to do with the antenna, and now everything is working properly.

same issue i have checked imei with the box and it ok, i can connect to 3G but can't make call only emergency call.
tried CSC Change
Galaxy Sim Unlocker and all unlocked
Base Band and Firmware on XXLSZ
the phone is british in italy

Have you guys already tried to use your sims in someone else's phone? Could it be that you have data only plans? Those plans do no allow phone calls even if the device itself can make calls.

Well my case is a bit more complicated.... when i try to dial a number it just black screen and then a popup "Not registered on network" any solution?

[Q] Call ended before dailing starts

I bought a second hand GT-I9305. After the first boot I dicided I wanted to flash it with the CM nichtly. I first rooted the stock rom, flashed a recovery and then flashed CM. Now the problem is the I can't make calls. When I dial a number the phone responds with 'call ended' before it even starts.
I don't know if the phone worked to begin with, the first thing I did is flash it.
I've tried different roms now and reverted back to the 4.3 factory image. None of that fixed the problem. I've also tried putting to 2 or 3G only which didn't help either. My phone still shows an imei number.
I'm completely aware of the fact that I might have done something very stupid. I flashed android devices before but I'm the type of person who reads the manual when it's to late.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?
I'm usint T-mobile on the EE network in the UK.

Problem still unsolved, more information
I'm giving some more information as the problem isn't solved yet.
I'm on a Pay as You Go sim that works fine in another phone (HTC Desire S). I've now also try to downgrade to 4.1.1 but still no luck. I've also tried different sims but the problem occurs with those sims as well.
The phone looks to be registered to the network, at least that's what it shows. Also, data works, I get a 3G and H+ connection,
I'm more than happy to provide more information. Any help is greatly appreciated.

SIM unlocked? Google xda sim unlock GT-i9305...

Phone not locked
Thanks for your reply. The phone is already unlocked.

IMEI blocked? If you're in UK try www.checkmend.com/uk/ it'll cost you 1.99 but might save you time & effort...
