Just look like your phone have been locked on three network.and your unlock is failed.
Did you try found any phone shop on market to unlock your phone?
probably just five pound for each one on Chinatown.
I was stay in UK for 3 year,and as I know, the Chinatown guys have special device for unlock phone ,one simply for all,whatever you upgrade rom,you will be never locked again.

I'm not sure about that really cause it also does this with my correct network sim card still installed......

You've checked your apn settings? Sounds top suspect to me.
If you've still got problems, flash ezbase gingerbread. Search dev section, full, simple instructions included.

I tried that it tells me i should
"insert a sim card to access network services"
Could you point me in the right direction so i know im using the right programs and files

Please check your IMEI number by dialing *#06# on the keypad. If it displays the correct imei number as displayed on the Phone box/ under the battery, then you are saved. If not you have lost your efs folder which contains the files which hold the imei data.
Did u get the phone with Gingerbread as stock rom? Try downgrading to an Eclair (2.1) ROM with Odin.

hello again peoples,
I'm very grateful for all your assistance but i just wasn't paying attention when i was putting my SIM card into my phone and put it in the wrong way round...!
i mean what happened to SIM card slots where sim cards only fit in one way...!
again thanks alot for all your assistance also i've ended up upgrading to Insanity 2.3.5
Thank s

Can´t use simcard: `emergency only`

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 for 3 years now. I flashed different roms and did root my phone in all these years. But... now i received a new sim card which works well in other phones but NOT in my ace. So that must be a problem with my ace.. I just flashed back to the stock rom (XEN - Netherlands S5830XENKS1) via ODIN but the problem is still there, i can't use my sim-card: "Emergency only".
I already wiped data and cleared cache, hard reset... nothing works. What could i try to have my phone back working with sim card so i can call, sms and use my dataplan. My phone have no simlock i checked and the IMEI is also the right. The one shown by #06# is the same as printed behind my battery. I also received a new sim card from my provider, but this one also has the same problem.
I hope you guys can help me out! :good::good::good:
UPDATE 1: I tried differend sim cards in the phone. I always used to have T-Mobile as provider. All other simcards are not working, theyre showing up for a few seconds and after that it says: Emergency calls only. When i put in a T-Mobile sim card the provider keeps displayed, so it looks like my phone only works with a t-mobile card. But it's not sim locked, because i also used differend sim cards before..
UPDATE 2: Now my simyo simcard also connects and i can sms, call and internet. But after a few seconds/minutes again the message: Emergency calls only
WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE??!!??! Strange.............. I really hope someone can help me out this

I think your device has a problem to make contact with sims cards, so your device have a trouble accessing read and use sim cards... You can send your device to the support service, to check or try to fix it...Have your warranty still in effect?

Hello, thanks for your reply! No, my warranty is not active anymore. My phone is 3 years old. Today i went to another city and could call and sms the whole day. No internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. How strange.. I also could'nt find a good rom or firmware to flash back my phone to the full original software and firmware... Can someone help me on that? I need the newest firmware for the samsung galaxy ace s5830, netherlands version. Or maybe a custom rom which is the most used and stable version. I would like to exclude software reasons, so it might be a hardware problem. But i think it's a software fault cause of the different roms i tried on the phone.

It's very strange.. here it is Netherland's fws, try flashing your device if you want, but I've never heard that strange problem xD
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S5830&pcode=XEN#firmware
Always when you'll change your custom rom do the 3 wipes to leave your device as clean as possible

Thanks for your fast reply! I did this firmware already yesterday and also wiped dat and cache + recovery... The problem keops showing up I will try this same firmware again and let you know if there are changes or not.

You can also flash whatever fw you want from EUROPE, because your device is unlocked in order to check your sim's trouble

Again flashed the original firmware to my Ace. Wiped data and cleared cache. Everything works..... Except... the simcard. Can't call, can't sms and can't make an internet connection. So, still the same problem. The sim works well in another phone, and another simcard in the Ace gives also "Emergency call only". So it HAS to be something with my phone. Someone any idea's i can try / check now i'm very sure it's a phone problem with original new flashed firmware? I hope it's not an hardware defect......... how can i check?
UPDATE: The only simcard which works well is a T-Mobile prepaid simcard. All other simcards sometimes shows up, but most of the time not. The more strange fact is today: I went to another city and was able to call and sms the whole day. But no internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. This is so strange and makes me very sad. The phone is simlockfree, WHAT COULD IT BE So strange............

Tomorrow i had internet connection, could call and sms. My provider was shown on the screen and nothing wrong. But unfortunately just for a few minutes... No stable connection.

Someone any idea? :crying:

I too faced this problem once.....What I did is that I just formatted the system , wiped data , cache , sd ext and dalvik cache and then restored a backup of my earlier ROM in which the Sim was working ! And it was fixed....

Thanks for your reply! I did your trick but unfortunately... It did'nt help. Very interesting thing is, while i'm traveling around there is no problem, but as soon as i stop driving and walk around, the problems are back. Someone any idea on this strange problem? :crying:

cant access sim
until now this is problem...
why they cant fix this important setting
better to back to stock rom.
is does all are working
yeah CM's are good but still
many bugs and error
like this one.
not STK, sim contact save
and show in contact app
i hope they fix this one asap

You dont have any choice other than visiting the service centre. Yes they may charge you a good amount but seems none of the methods are working.
Also try contacting your service provider maybe thay know the exact reason.

[Q] HELP - Phone cannot connect to any mobile network cyanogenmod 10.1

I bought the a samsung GT-I9000 off ebay, it was locked to vodafone and running standard OS.
Despite soft bricking it I did a factory restore, rooted and flashed it with cyanogenmod 10.1.
Everything is working, except I cannot to any mobile network. When I try to connect it says "cannot connect at this time, try again later" or it encountered "an error". It takes ages doing this as well.
The APN settings are all there and correct as I can compare them to my rooted HTC which works fine on the same ROM.
The IMEI number is given by *#06# and this is also given in the phone information. The same IMEI is on the back of the phone under the battery as well.
If I leave the phone on, it gives Orange (EE ) as the network but says emergency only i.e no service.
I rang Orange and they said there is no problem , which I suspected, as my HTC work fine. Orange also said there is no problem with the phone relating to IMEI - its not stolen.
Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance

Hi again
Two questions: is the phone unlocked now? Did you have the connection with this same SIM card by using previously flashed ROM?
If both answers "yes", your presently installed baseband is probably not compatible with the region where you live. Google after the regional codes (letters in your baseband version) and find the right one for your region. Here are all flashable baseband versions for the CyanogenMod:

I upgraded to stable 10.1.3 last night, simply thinking what do I have to lose? and it worked for a bit then stopped.
Whats stranger is it started working when I got to work - it doesnt recognise EE which is the company who bought Orange/T-Mobile but it connects to Orange or T-Mobile and works as Orange......
It connected to providers last night but never for more than a few seconds and then stopped.
I have called and texted from it and all now seems fine!

The phone lost signal when I got home - ultimately solved it by flashing it with modem XXJVP and updated APN to those given for EE, not Orange.
All been stable now for 3 days :laugh:

[Q] i9305 Not registering to networks?

A friend of mine gave me a S3 to play with and said i can have it if i can get it to work.
Now he doesnt know the original network that it came on or what the original firmware version was.
Before i even tried to get a sim card to work i unlocked it using the hidden menu with sha256 etc.
Now when i put in a sim card it doesnt register to a network, I am in the UK and have tried Three, GiffGaff and T-mobile sims as they are what i have and none of the register to network.
I have a couple of bars signal and the phone says "emergency calls only".
The IEMI seems fine and I have backed up the NV data using QPST and EFS Professional
Device Details
GT-i9305
Android verison 4.3
Baseband Version - I9305XXUEML1
Kernal Version - 3.0.31-2051278
Build Number - JSS15J.I9305XXUEML9
What would be the next step to try?

Have you considered that it may be blacklisted...

I wouldnt have thought so, It worked before when he used to use it ages ago, hes had a few phones since.
He messed around with it quite a lot and has changed the firmware/modems and what have you so much he doesnt know what he has done with it so i presume that its just not set up right.

So anybody got any ideas?

Flash a UK stock rom read the network imei efs stickied posts and work your way through them .

Try your carrier's guide of setting up the correct vpn.

Gsm unlock emergency calls only!

My bootloader is unlocked with H-Boot 1.56, I'm S-off, rooted and TWRP recovery. I'm on the 6th rom I've flashed (Tried CM 11 Nightly, CM 10 Snapshot, Stock Deodexed rooted 4.1.2 and 4.4.2, MIUI, Viper Rom) and I've been working on this device for about 48 hours non-stop. I am NEED of assistance if ANYONE can offer it.
Does this sim unlock also work for phones that are currently registered on Sprints network? Like the account is still active? I've got a Sprint HTC one I've performed the Sim Unlock attempting to use my T-Mobile sim, but it says "Emergency Calls Only," and "Searching for network/No Service" I've got a red X where the signal bars are. Of course No text, no voice and no data. I've gone into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and changed the settings to WCDMA, but NO dice. Yes, I went to mobile settings, searched for service and nothing appears, just a blank screen! The phone does recognize my Sim card and even shows my cell number and IMEI, UICC as well. I've even attempted to change RUIM settings in DFSCDMA Tool but that does very little. I have changed the radio around about 5 different times, currently using 3.04.651.2 with NO fix. I have searched high and low on these forums and haven't found anyone that can help me.

Try the third method, it should work. By the way if you want to bypass hands free activation, rename HTCSetupWizard.apk to HTCSetupWizard.bak

I got it working!! I flashed Badboys rom with .0315 radio!!! This is like a pretty freaking awesome deal!
Thanks for your help with the setup wizard, I'll do that right now. Did you do that with Ultimate Backup app? Or navigation through
ES File explorer? Thanks again!

Only do this if you're unable to get past the setup wizard.
1. Boot into twrp
2. Wipe dalvik cache
3. Mount system
4. Go to the file manager in advanced
5. Go to system/app
6. The file should be there, rename it.
7. After that unmount system, wipe dalvik again and reboot, and you should be good.
