Hi there, I'm Italian I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect, but I'll try to be as clear as I can
I have a GT-S5570, well to be precise it's my brother's mobile, however it was bought with a sim card under subscription,
so when a friend gave him this phone, it was network locked.
I unlocked the phone succesfully following the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
but though the phone said the network was unlocked, and I can see the band bars on top of the screen, the phone doesn't work
well, infact I can't even call anyone, it says "dialing" but then nothin' happens...
i tried to research manually for the operator, but it didn't work, i tried to flash a rom with odin
and see if something changed, nothing...
I wan't to say that I've searched for similar posts but I've found none, and I would have wrote this in the thread I linked before,
but I wasn't allowed because I'm new to the site...
Can someone help me? thanks

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)
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...
The link you gave me did not work :-(

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.

I just bought this new phone 14days ago. I got my number transferred from a prepaid to a new simcard. Everything was good until they actually ported my number to the new simcard. After that i have NO internet at all.
I have a 3G icon and can call/sms but as i try open the browser it says. The page cannot be find. Also when i turn my phone off and on it says after i dialed my pincode: Error cant apply settings to modem.
My provider is T-mobile here from the netherlands, they had some interference at the beginning at the week, but i spoke with them today and they can see everything should work. I tried to make a new APN with the guidance from T-mobile but it dosent help. Also rebooted it 4 times from fabric settings, still nothing.
Can say that i havent done anything with the phone, its not hacked/rooted or whatever. Basically in same shape as when i bought it.
I read another tread that also descripes the problem i have but these phones are rooted, and didnt really get any solution out of it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-995363.html
Dont know if its any help, but i can connect to the internet with my WIFI connection at home.
Does anyone have ANY idea to what i can do?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe also nessasary to mention i DID put my SIM in another device. Still same outcome. NO internet still
Well if you haven't got data on the other phone either then I am pretty sure its a sim/provider issue and has got nothing to do with your phone at all

Yea you would think that, they told me in the store today that was not the case. Funny thing is i tryed to switch it again into another devince, and still nothing. However, as I went into the store i got a new simcard that didnt fix the prob. Suspecting some internal flaw?
Anyway, gonna call LG and use my vip change possibility so we'll see if its the device itself or not.
T-mobile offcourse claims that its a software prob, as this often happens on first batch phones
Hi there!
I've looked around the forum for a solution to this issue and unfortunately my case doesn't apply to any of the posts I've found.
Three months ago I followed the instructions of the hex hack posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 in order to restore my phone's IMEI (since then I've been using the generic one 00499... etc)
The phone was rooted using Odin3 v1.7 to install the CF Root Kernel CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS.tar and finally I unlocked it.
The thing is my phone can't make/receive any calls. I've tried my old SIM card in another phone and it worked.
It's not the SIM card. I even asked for a new one just in case and my phone company sent it for free, but it's still not working.
I tried a different SIM card from the same company in my phone and it works just fine, so it can't be the IMEI being barred.
The weirdest thing of all is I still receive emails and whatsapp messages because the phone logs in to the 3G network without any trouble. Under "Status" you'll see:
Phone number - Unknown
Network - Claro AR
Service state - Out of service
Mobile network state - Connected
I restored the nv_data files in the efs folder thinking they might have been corrupted but I couldn't solve anything.
WTF is going on? Any expert suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you!
claro ar
Did this happens suddenly 3 o 4 days ago?
I do have exactly the same issue on the same network, strange coincidence...
Please post your solution if you find one.
thanks

Yes it did. Not sure when exactly but must have been on wednesday night.
I haven't found a solution yet but the phone is working since this morning. I don't know for how long it will stay this way.
Please post any news or changes in your phone. It might help us, you never know.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm having the same issue all over again, exactly as described above.
Can somebody give me a hand here? Please?
Thank you very much!
This morning I updated my note to 4.0.4
After updating it suddenly I wasn't able to make any calls or messages. I did some research and I have discovered that my phone had suddenly re-locked itself and is unable to allow my sim to work with it.
After doing more research I have rooted my phone and tried the Galaxy S unlock (which supposedly worked with the Note), and ended up with something like the attached picture. I see random icons but no specific code.
Here's a little background info that may be useful.
I bought this phone over in HK while I was there for vacation. The network lock occured when I first bought the phone but then the store that I bought it from found a way to fix it (without rooting the phone). Even when I upgraded to the OTA ICS there was no problem at all. I don't know why suddenly with this minor update it reset the network settings.
When I look into the mobile networks on my phone's settings a window pops up saying "Insert SIM card: Insert SIM card to access network services".
Which to me was kind of weird since I have inserted my sim into another phone and is able to make phone calls just fine.
Please help me! I have no way of contacting that store that I bought the phone from and I'm in need of getting my phone to work asap.
I am not lazy or anything, I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to solve this problem.
I have no experience in flashing a new rom and I really don't intend to do so unless i have no other choice.
Check out here;

You can - I believe - Downgrade to GB and run the unlock tool mentioned in that thread then upgrade again to your ICS..
Will this help?
