How do i Disable emergency dial SIM lock

Ok guys, sorry if this is a newb question but i did allot of research before posting, if anyone has links that are know to work that will help.
Ive rooted a friends phone and put JacxHeroski on it, i found a few tip threads like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316&page=6 and this actually worked till i rebooted, now i get the (no sim card) warning and a emergency dialer so i cant access the home/touchflo screen.
My friend doesn't have a sim or data plan but just got a phone. I dont need to run it with another carriers sim, just no sim at all. Thanks for any help guys

I think you need a sim to get past setup, errrr maybe not though cuz hero roms shouldn't "require" it. Did it work fine when it was on the stock rom w/ no sim?

hero is goting to the no sim screen and onlt letting me access the dial pad for 911. i didnt do a account setup, but at first i got past it by issuing the recommended sqlite command and rebooting, but now its doing it again

JACxHero worked for me without a SIM card. I suggest wiping/reflashing.
Are you sure it's not just the normal lock screen? The lock screen for Hero with SenseUI is quite a bit different, and I know it'll show an error saying no SIM card, but if you hit menu or slide the window down it'll go away.

Just press the home button when that screen comes up. It's kinda annoying that you have to press home after pressing power ot wake up the phone. Why doesn't yout friend just get a pay as you go tmo SIM, and not use it? Won't cost you anything...

Is there anyway to disable the emergency dial capability. I am using my old G1 as a media pc remote control/vnc client/mp3 player/ web browser/ toy etc..... and i dont want my daughter to accidentally initiate an emergency call, or myself for that matter. is there something i could disable, or an app that would do this?
Thanks

[Q] Help Unlocking rooted Exhibit with custom ROM

I'm trying to unlock the Exhibit 4G this week for use on a trip abroad (and yes, it is legal to do so since this was a prepaid phone paid in full in 2012 so T-Mobile did email me the unlock code - all that is good). What I don't understand is why it is not prompting for the Unlock code at boot. T-Mobile says I must have another company's SIM card in the phone to unlock the Phone. So, I bought a Simple Mobile SIM and placed it in the phone but it just boots up to the ROM as normal without asking for the unlock code. I am using the Linaro 4.2 rom (which is amazing btw!) but I also tried with Peach Sunrise 3.0 and Cyanogen 10 - nothing but a normal boot with no phone capabilities. So I have these questions: Do I actually need to pay for SimpleMobile service first to get the phone to recognize the SIM as different and ask to unlock? (seems unlikely) - Is Simple Mobile just not a good SIM to use for unlocking this phone... Or do I have to go back to stock ROM and unroot to unlock this? Of course if there are any other apps or shortcuts that will let me get straight to the unlock code prompt I'm all for it. Any help is greatly appreciated - not finding a lot of answers out there on the net and if it is on this forum I apologize for not finding it and would appreciate a link to it - Thx!

You probably need a different sim card. As I understand it, T-Mobile phones don't need to be unlocked to work on Simple Mobile.

Thx - it figures I would choose that one to buy!

Meekrawb is right, simple mobile uses the T-Mobile network.

To get your IMEI go to your cell phone and enter *#06# This will give you a string of numbers you will need to unlock your cell phone. Enter *#06# as if you are going to make a call. Then you will be given the string of numbers you will need.

After you obtain your IMEI and copy it on a piece of paper, power your cell phone off. Take the back off if you have a removable back. Take the SIM card out. Put a BLANK SIM card in its place. Power the cell phone on. A screen should come up asking for your IMEI number to be entered. It should look like a rectangular box. Enter you IMEI. There should be a small box under the rectanglar box that you press. The phone should then eventally unlock itself. You can test it by putting a different SIM card in your cell phone.

[Q] Anyone else have this issue getting the no service icon?

I bought the unlocked GSM Moto X that is rooted and has the bootloader unlocked. ROM is stock 4.4 Kitkat Every time after I shut the phone off, it doesn't have any service when it turns back on. I usually have to shut it off and turn it on a few times and mess with the SIM card. Also, the wi-fi won't turn on, either. It just gets stuck on the 'turning on' message but never actually turns on. It kind of seems like the phone just gets stuck in airplane mode and won't come out of it or something.
The biggest potential problem is that I cut a micro SIM card down to a nano SIM to fit in the Moto X. I use my phone on Straight Talk and they don't have a nano SIM yet. But I don't think the cut SIM card is the issue. The phone came with some T-Mobile SIM card. Even though it doesn't have any service from T-Mobile associated with it, when I put the T-Mobile SIM in, it will show that there is service and wi-fi will work. However, after the phone shuts off and I put the T-Mobile SIM in, it still says no service. Plus, the my cut Straight Talk SIM works perfectly fine until the phone shuts off.
Even though it would make sense that cutting my SIM card would cause this problem, I really don't think that's the case. It seems like it's more of a software issue at this point. Does anyone else have this problem or have any insight?

Consider installing the T-Mobile SIM, calling your carrier, asking to activate a new cell phone, and read them the SIM number (it's also on the box's label).

The problem is that I unlocked the booloader and voided my warranty. So there will be no new phone for me. Plus, I bought it straight from Motorola through the Moto Maker

[Q] Calls Immediately end On TMobile Nexus 6 flashed with VZW stock image

Good Morning Group,
I have VZW service. The Nexus 6 is from TMobile. In my infinite wisdom or rather the lack their off. I decided that I was over not having data while talking. I downloaded the VZW LMY47E image and followed the instructions found in the Nexus 6 general sticky roll up. How to flash factory images.
The short method did not work but the long method did. I rooted it and added TWRP recovery. Apart from that I left it stock.
I dialed *#*#4636#*#*. and turned off VOLTE provisioning flag. Then I checked for enhanced 4G under phone settings and it was enabled.
Awesome right....Wrong. I decided to test it. All calls immediately end after starting them flashing 00:00 time stamp. I decided to pull my sim and put it back into my S4 and dial *228 option 1 and I can make calls using my sim. Something must have went wrong.
What that is I have no clue.
I was thinking of flashing the 5.1 TMobile image but everything that I have read suggest that if you are on VZW you should use LMY47E.
As you can imagine not having phone service kicks rocks. I figured Id ask before flashing and or making anything else worse.
Thanks in advance.

*228 should never be done on an lte device.

Now I know. Did I harm anything? I also booted into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. To no avail...

Typically provisions the sim to 3g prl. Likely need a new sim.

Flashing another factory image will do nothing to help your problem.
I agree with the above suggestion of starting with a replacement SIM.
And whatever you do, DO NOT TRY RELOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER. It will not help, and you may brick your device, unless you follow @Evolution_Freak 's guide.

FML will they give me a new sim for a phone that did not come from them? Even if the sim was locked into 3g shouldn't I be able to make calls?
Edit: I put my sim back into my S4 and it displays 3G like you said. I can make calls on the S4 but no on my Nexus 6. I put the sim back into my nexus 6 and it displays LTE but I can not make calls

No they won't if you tell them it's for your N6. You'll have to tell them it's for a "legitimate" VZW phone.

So basically you are saying just go to a Verizon store and ask for a new nano sim and ask them to activate it? Or do you suggest asking for a sim for my S4 and cutting it down to size again?

When I dial *#*#4636#*#* my phone looks at me like Essentially I cant access that menu any more since its not dialing. I have data and it just backed up my apps from the play store.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to sort it out.

I decided to try reflashing the LMY47E image again. After doing so I was able to get 3G and make and receive calls. I went to VZW and they gave me bloody hell about getting a replacement sim.
Essentially they were not having it. They wanted to see the physical phone that the card would be activated in. I went back to my car and gave them my S4. To make a long story short they gave me a VZW sim for my S4. Got back home and cut the micro down to nano. I now have LTE service.
But I do not have VOLTE. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and turned off VOLTE provisioning flag. I have enhanced 4g calling under phone options. But I can not browse a web page or talk on the on the phone while using GPS etc. Is VOLTE supposed to be turned on or off.
With it off I do not get the enhanced 4g calling options. With it on I do get enhanced 4g. Either way it doesn't work lol. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'm just happy to be up and running again.
Thanks once again for your time and patience with my N6!!!!!!!!

Do you have advanced calling activated on your account? I don't believe that the S4 has advanced calling. You may have to put your sim card into a VZW device that requires it and then have them activate the feature.

Yea.... Did you ever activate the service on your account. You need to login in the website or call and turn the feature on. Dialing weird numbers and turning flags on in your phone won't do jack until the service is turned on within verizon.

I never had a problem with using data while talking on the phone with my S4. Regardless if it was the stock rom or not.

Unfortunately I am a member of a family plan. I will speak to my cousin who is the account owner and ask him to double to check and see if it has been advanced calling and HD calling has been enabled on my account.

i can pretty much say thats your problem. it isn't turned on by default so it needs to be turned on. no amount of flashing software or hitting buttons on your phone will help. I think you can even call the 611 number and when it gets to the voice prompts just say advanced calling one point zero. it should try to turn the feature on within that line.

The S4 had dual antennas so there was no need for the Advanced Calling feature. The Nexus only has a single antenna and requires Advanced Calling to be enabled on the account and the device in order for it to work.

Thanks for the number. The CS Rep said they can not make any change to the account because I dont have the password or pin.
Ironically one of the main reasons for getting a new phone was that my S4 wanted to power off randomly and it would be a chore just to get it to power back on and stay on. This time it would not turn at all so I was forced to call from my old thunderbolt.
I called the number you gave me while surfing the web on the phone. The CS Rep said that any 4G / LTE phone can use data over voice except for iphone due to their antenna construction. I guess its true I was just doing it.
But anyway it really shouldn't be a process just to get data while talking on the phone with the nexus.
The phone they have listed for my account is a S4. They said advanced calling and HD calling will be available for the S4 when they provide a software update. He had no clue to when the update would be released.
Just for Sh1t and giggles I inquired with the CS res in regards to purchasing a phone from google and using it. He said that I could go to a Verizon store and they would add it and give me a nano sim. I just thanked him for his time. I guess thats true right until you walk in their with it.
My nexus is from TMobile and from what I read people across various forums are having issues with getting their Nexus 6 added to their account regardless of where it came from.
Seems like verizon is really working hard to make the nexus 6 experience a pain in the ass. I dont need or want HD calling. Is asking to talk and look up something on the web or use gps to much to ask for....

no problem. you dont even need to speak with anyone in order to activate. some people reported just using the prompts, speaking with a machine it was able to turn it on. either way, good luck and glad you got some info.
I literally just got back from best buy with my unbranded unlocked nexus 6. they didnt have any "verizon versions". I will be cutting my sim card thats in my GS4 and throwing it into the nexus so i wont have to deal with verizon. i already had them send me a nano sim so just in case i have a backup. if i completely mess it up, ill go back to verizon and get a new sim for my GS4 and start over again

Thanks for the clarification. I did not know.
How should I go about this? I called and they said the phone that is listed is a S4. Currently advanced calling is not enabled for the S4. They said I would need to do a phone swap and or sim swap for a newer phone. If the phone is not listed on my account/ number what do I tell ask or tell them so they will enable it?

It works fresh out the box. Mine did and it was from TMobile. I didn't do factory resets or anything insert sim and load up my apps and enjoyed.
I used a sim card cutter that I got from Amazon. Cut it popped it in and everything was lovely. I didn't notice that I couldn't talk and use gps until i was actually driving. The sim cutter is a good investment because it comes with sim card adapters that will allow you to use your sim in any phone.
I wonder how the people got it activated using the prompts. Did they call from their nexus or their old verizon phone?
The only reason I decided to flash the LMY47E rom is to get data over voice. Hopefully I will get this sorted out sooner than later.

Galaxy S8 financed blocked?

I bought a used t-mobile galaxy s8. The website I used said clean imei and I put my sim in the phone and it worked fine. After taking it home it stopped working. I played around with the settings to get it work and came to find that it works briefly after turning phone off and then back on. After about 10 minutes I can't make call or even perform a speed test via speedtest app. The dialer screen will not even load and remains blank, then no calls incoming or internet. If i restart then it starts again. This made me suspicious and I eventually found the t-mobile imei site which says it has an outstanding balance and may not be able to be used. I just find it weird it works then stops. Is that what is causing it? Will it eventually stop working completely?

call tmobile and describe your issue. they can help or at least tell you what to do.

OP, where did you buy the phone from?
I purchased one from S**p*a and have similar concerns.

I recently had the same issue.
I found out somehow an option was enabled that made it seem like i was network blocked or had a bricked sim card.
Under settings/connections/more connection settings/wifi calling
Make sure the middle option is selected and not "never use cellular network"
For some reason every samsung phone i have owned has enabled this option atleast once during ownership.
