[Q] Galaxy Ace some kind of network lock - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got hands on to my friends Galaxy Ace, who complained that the phone is locked.
When inserted SIM card and dialed, got error "network not available", but the phone shows signal bars.
When dialed *#7465625# to see network locks, it shows that all locks are off?
Any ideas? Should I root the phone?

Root aint gonna help u in anyways!
Check Your Friend IMEI ... *#06#
If Shown only 0000000 at your friends IMEI ... you got your self an expensive brick!
If not try with other sim card ... if all locks are off, phone is unlocked for sure! you could have a modem problem

It shows phone full IMEI code.

OK try this,
go to settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > network operators
once you tap on that it will search and find all the available operators choose the one that is yours or try some others. My friend had same kinda problem but he is in another country and well this is the way he managed to solve his problem. so try it. and if I helped press the thanks button thank you.
Good luck ;-)

________________________________________________
you have two more options either try a different network as said above or change your ROM. if those don't work then its a hardware error. which unfortunately we cant do anything about it.
good luck ;-) if that helps the thanks button is the way to help back.

Which ROM do you recommend?

how do you turn the network locks off

____________________________________________
it depends on what you would expect from a ROM. performance or battery life or look or ...
here r my suggestions:
miracle edition v4 (performance is good so is the battery life and its ics themed so its at the top in my list) >>>I'm a link ;-)<<<
Jusada's ORIGINAL ICS Final (performance really good and battery life is good and its ics themed but you may run into stability issues if you over clock and use the phone continuously. but overall its cool also its got cool transition animations that most other roms don't) >>>I'm a link ;-)<<<
or you may use the official cyanogenmod ok? let me know if you need any help with flashing roms. ;-). In additions if I helped pressing the thanks button is the way to help back around here.

Hi RaidoRi, did you ever manage to find a solution to this problem? I am experiencing the the exact same issue - I am trying to get a Swiss Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i phone+ Mucho (Swiss) SIM to operate in Canada - I HAVE to get it to work for a personal reason... I also have "Network Lock is [OFF] after dialing *#7465625# and I have a full IMEI (not just 000's).... The network that the phone selects automatically does not work with the Swiss SIM ... (The phone only works with "Rogers", and the Mucho SIM will only work with "Bell Canada" - because that is the company that Mucho's parent, Swisscom, has an international relationship with). Do you have any idea how I can get the phone to work and make my Swiss SIM card work here? I have been trying everything for over a year now but cannot seem to find a solution (the latest attempt was asking a friend from Switzerland to mail me a brand new phone and this is what I am now trying to unlock)... Other phones in North America will not recognize the SIM card at all...
Sorry if this is confusing but if anyone can help I would greatly GREATLY appreciate it, and I am sure by now you are all aware that I am not a developer so sorry if my question is kind of all over the place.
Thanks in advance!!

...really need help, 24 hours to go!

Hello everybody, I'm writing you from UK, where I bought a second-hand G1 (absolutely perfect!!! really good). The phone is T-Mobile branded and factory-default cleaned. Once I got it, placed my italian H3G sim inside, and (of course...) it told me that it was locked. I purchased a key (...I know may I could do without it... but very few time to spend, these days) and it was succesfully sim-free. Then I reebot it, and start the acrivation... that doesn' run!!! I insered the correct APN parameters, I also tried with a UK O2 and Vodafone sim, but, problem is that the gsm segnal level (small icon on the top with 4 vertical bars) is not giving signs of life, and it has a small "cross" on the left side. Of course I can't get the registration... I can't get the line!!!! why does it happen??? all the sims are correctly recognized (ask for the pin and the "no sim" messages and icons are off), but no way to go over...
Please, help me in any way, just 1 more day here, then I'll go back to Italy... far from the shop!!!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!
If you type:
reboot
and press enter. If the phone reboots you can have a chance, if the phone does not it means its on a updated version which you will have to downgrade. While downgrading i recommend going up to Rooted versions of android. Although you might not need it.
You should look here:

and/or here:

You can get through your problem, if its just the registration. by simply following a few of the instructions in the first link combined with some of the instructions in the second link.
@elmejor: He didn't even mention rooting. His problem is he can't get his phone to associate with the networks on his sim.
@tony_m78: You should probably post what apn settings you are using. Also, this is NOT A DEVELOPMENT ISSUE and should not have been posted in this forum.
thanks gor your answer.... I have been to those links THOUSANDS of times, within yesterday night and today... but I really can't get a solution. I can't go over the "error connecting to server" page :-(
The worst problem is that I really don't have time NOW, but I'll have it at the end of the week; I know I'd get a solution, working on that... but really I can't. But whay do you think about the absence of segnal? is it normal?!?
Tomorrow morning I'll find the way to buy a T-Mobile original sim and try to see what happen. . . . . . but that's strange!!!!!!!! not normal... i insered a correct code (generated from the IMEI), the answer was "unlocked", free for others carriers.... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!! :-( tic tac tic tac. . . ..I don't have time!!!!!!!! :-( nobody experience this strange problem?!?

...I don't think the problem is the APN, I set the correct one (from Wiki) for H3G Ita and for O2 UK (these are the sim I tried with); the problem is that the segnal is ZERO, like the sim is not present... BUT IT IS, it ask me for the pin and accept it....
Can you manually select the network to connect to? Settings>Wireless controls>Mobile networks>Operator selection
Are you sure radio is working on this phone? Maybe it has some physical problems (like bad gsm chip)... Or - maybe you have sim cards not acceptable in UK.
Try with T-mobile sim first. If not working:
I would try to factory reset device some times, if it don't help I would try to reflashing it (firmware and radio). But in your case I think you should ask about this situation in shop where you bought it (if you have warraty) first.
Data plan?
I had a similar problem when I got my APD1 phone in the US. When I returned to the UK, I put in my Tesco SIM and the phone signal strength icon had an 'x' indicating not connected or no signal. Eventually I used my home wifi to activate the phone. After the phone was activated, the same SIM was able to connect and the signal strength icon worked normally.
BUT, it turned out that all I probably needed to do was to have a SIM with a data plan (which mine didn't at the time) <<BLUSH>>
Have you confirmed that your SIM has data turned on?
Of course ensuring that the APN settings are correct is also necessary. (But it sounds like you did that)

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..
LINK:http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
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...

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)

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...

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.

Same is happening to me. Serive state says out of service so could registering the sim card to phone be the actual isuue?

your sim card does not allow connection to this network

My HTC Incredible S signal bar got cross and mobile say out service area.
When I manually try to select network it says 'sim card does not allow connection to this network'
I have installed 3,4 ROMs but same issue, tried different radios but same issue.
Also tried *#*#4636#*#* thing, turned off then on radio many times but no use.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
One thing to note is that I can connect GPRS/ EDGE and browse normally without any issue still it shows no signal, but when try to make a call it says out of service area.
Also when phone restarts it locks on to network showing signals. but as soon as i make call signals are lost.
Awaiting help..

Thank you all for the replies, BUT I have tried all 5 carriers available in my country. The behavior is same for all SIMs. I bought unlocked Inc S. There is no doubt that it is locked because this strange behavior occurred suddenly when i was using my phone as usual. No new application / ROM or anything else was installed. It just suddenly started this behavior.
I think I have to send my device to HTC. At first I was trying to resolve the issue with help of you guys because it has no warranty. I have to pay for all the repair costs.
Anyway please keep me updated if any solution is available.
I'll too inform when my phone gets repaired that what was the issue, which might help some one suffering from same problem.
Thanks!
hmm probably u shuld restore to stock b4 sending to HTC! better chance of fixing it?

[Q][HELP] No Service after S-OFF & ROM installation
Hi,
I have a similar problem. My sister just bought a gently used Canadian Incredible S. It was unlocked and working fine on her carrier, Fido, but was running Gingerbread. Since the carrier doesn't offer this model, I decided to root it and install a custom ROM. I tried following THIS guide, but I rapidly ran into problems. I have to say it was my first time. First, the dev unlock failed with a simple "[ERR] Command error!!!" in fastboot. I did a search and finally realised my HBOOT was already at 1.13.0000 and that it was impossible to dev unlock. I also read that S-OFF was equivalent so I skipped the unlock and tried to flash the recovery, but that failed too. Then, I decided to skip Nonverbose's script and the RUU and use Revolutionary to S-OFF and install the recovery software. That worked so I installed Superuser, the ViperVIVO 1.3.0 ROM and did all the wipes. The phone works fine but it doesn't pick any signal. I flashed a new radio, the 11M, redid the APN settings and changed to WCDMA only with the secret code, but nothing works. I finally restored to the Gingerbread backup, but there still is no service. Any help would be greatly appreciated to understand and fix the problem.
Thank you!

First, try manually connecting to your carrier. Settings -> Mobile Network -> Network Operators -> Search Networks
That will take a minute and then display a list of carriers networks you can connect to. Choose the one assigned to your SIM and see if that works.

I tried that doesn't let me click on it
Are you sure the SIM card is working and inside properly? Maybe try taking it out, blowing out the slot, wiping the card with rubbing alcohol and putting it back in.

Works fine on my infuse and dad sim doesn't work on it either so idk
I tried what you said about blowing on the sim card slot for a few minutes and it showed up for like 3secs as att and umts
Might need to have the sim reset up with the phone since its lte and the infuse is not , seems like the network will recognise what ph the sim is in and may adjust idk for sure just a thought , or try to reinstall the software and see what happens.

Yea thanks for what you did do better then most lol hope we can find the answer as I would hate to have to go back to my Samsung infuse until I can get a new phone which won't be for a while
Have you tried removing and cleaning your SIM, and maybe getting your carrier to replace the SIM? Something besides the software must be messed up if you get the same results on different ROMS with full wipes in between...
