[Q] Problem with new SIM in an unlocked phone - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My i9001 has served me well for over a year and a half, and with 2 different mobile operators (I've had my current one for over a year), but now I want to change, got my new sim 2 days ago and here's the problem : my phone shuts off with my new sim approx. 30 seconds after i've entered the pin code. Had the same problem during summer, it wouldn't take my foreign sim card (for the country i was staying in) and would shut off 30 seconds after i'd typed the pin. The new sim works well on another phone (old nokia). And my phone works well with my old sim.
I used to have CM10 (before that, I used EhndroixII and III). I tried to flash another baseband, then I erased data and flashed back to stock (I9001XEFKP1).
If it is of any use, I'm in France and have used Sosh (Orange) for a year (before that I used Leclercmobile (SFR) for like a month), and I'm now changing to B&You (Bouygues).
The SIM is unlocked as I bought it on Amazon and the seller was German (if that's of any relevance). Also, after flashing stock rom my former SIM card doesn't work.
Also as I was (again) trying to reboot hoping that it would work, the old sim began not to work either (shut off after 30 sec)
Thanks for your help

This would happen due to following reasons.
1) USIM Lock, its found in your settings>locations & security
factory password may be 0000 or 00000 (not certain) IF you had not changed it yourself
2. Anti theft Apks...if you had installed one or using antivirus software with anti theft security ...in order to protect your phone they will lock your sim card to prevent theft.
3. Network SIM lock ...IF phone has been reported stolen, networks can blacklist users of that SIM

Activation and unlocking an new verizon Droid 3 in brazil

hello everyone!
that´s the first time ever I´m creating a threat at this forum but that´s not my first time here at all..
I´ve been using XDA since I got my HTC Tytn II back in 2008 hahaha since then i´ve changed phones lots of times, and never got any problem to find the resolution of all my problems at all.
But know for the first time I got myself in a situation where I don´t see anyone having the same kind of problem.
Well , firt of all : I live in brazil and of course we don´t have verizon here.
Two : I got a Droid 3 from Ebay.com today and comes with all the manuals, sim card, instructions card and all the stuff I should need to activate the phone.
I know it´s locked to be used only in verizon, I´m totally ok to buy a unlocking code from the websites, and I don´t intend to use verizon´s sim card over here.
My carrier here is TIM, and that´s the one I´ll be using.
The problem is.. I can´t even get in to the android´s home screen! the phone ask me to do an activation first... where I click the icon "activation" and all I got is an "busy" line signal . there is no place for tapping IMEI unlock code, there is no way of getting in to the system´s configuration to root it , use wi-fi... I mean.. I can´t use the android system functionality at all!
Please someone gimme some light!
I don´t know what to do!
Any help will be valid
When at the first screen tap starting from the top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left. That will bypass the activation
I don´t see a way of doing what you say... Or maybe I didn´t got it..
Ill show what are the options I have

that´s the first screen I have.
If i click the green droid it goes to the second screen :
Where I can now click in BACK or Activate
After clicking the activate it goes here :
and now I can only hear a line signal where nothing happens
Any ideias?
At the welcome to Droid3 screen it is a `hidden` way to bypass it. Just below the status bar left then right, and above select language then above emergency call.

Try this
go to youtube
and search for
Skipping Motorola Droid Activation --- No Contract Cell Phones
Have fun!
thanks guys! but now...
Well I did by passed the activation screen, but now I´m having troubles to unlock it
By mistake I tried several times to insert my SIM PIN code in a screen believing it was right... when actually think that was the unlocking screen...
There was no numbers saying the attempts I have left , so I tried 3 or 4 times different passwords then I sadly got the "subsidy" locking screen.
That is freaking me out! i´ve reading a lot around here and some other forums ppl saying I can only unlock it with a special verizon code now once I got the subsidy lock....
So I was wondering if maybe I could trust someone here to call verizon from U.S and give my IMEI number...
Of course I´ll check first with the ebay seller if he could do it for me...
What you guys think? any suggestions ?

Try doing a clean installation of MIUI. i.e. Full data wipe using CWM and then installing MIUI.

Even I am getting this type of screen, but it comes when there is network problem or network goes and comes or when I switched on and off Airplane Mode or when I restart phone. I only dismiss it, and never get annoyed of it : why I can not say, may be a hardware glitch ...

It is because if I use sim pin security enabled. When the simcard powered on, it will ask for pin and it seem it was handled by more then one service. Sim card turn on in every boot and switch from airplane mode.

please help
huawei U9000-81
when you turn asks for a SIM network unlock PIN (10)
the seller said that the phone is SIM FREE but my sim card does not recognize (the phone from the U.S.) I'm in Russia
please
The one solution I got for this model was from Ebay and it costed about 7-8$ for the U9000.
I have unlocked many phones this way and the price isn't that much (about 2$-3$) but for that model it was about 8$.
Just type the model on ebay "Huawei U9000 unlock code" and you'll find it.

thanks a big
I will try to
it does not matter to which the operator is bound phone?
but I do not know the seller does not say
спасибо большое
in which the operator can be locked phones Huawei 9000-81? Thus it is written back under the battery
the seller does not respond
and I can not buy the unlock, unlock because the seller says that it is necessary to know the provider is bound to 9000-81
in the profile of the seller says "Independence, KY, United Stats"
may have options to learn? T-mobile? or what else?

[Q] No voice service, can't call or send SMS

Hello! I didn't want to create a thread, but can't find a solution anywhere else. So, recently I bought Xperia Z1 from small shop that sells used phones. It had no box. When it was bought it was tested with sim card of Lithuanian carrier, everything worked perfectly. Then it was sent to me to Norway, and here I tried to put Norwegian carrier SIM card. I have full signal, I connect to carriers network, I even have internet access, but I cannot call and send messages to anyone. I tried Lithuanian carrier SIM card - also can connect to network but cannot call and send messages. Tried fixing with Sony PC Companion - didn't help. When I turn it on, for few seconds I ged MM#6 error, then it disappears. I tried few online IMEI checkers and they say IMEI is not blacklisted. And I still don't want to mess with fiwmwares being not sure if it would help because I would lost warranty. Normally I would go to that shop but it is 1500 km away :/ Any help wold be appreciated very much!
The MM#6 error that shows up for 3-4 seconds

About my phone
You have to flash via Flashtool a new firmware to fix this problem, it will not void your warranty if you still stock. After that if the problem persist then you have to check if the phone is SIM Locked, if not, then it's a problem and You will have to call the shop. Start with flashing latest KK and wipe everything.
I reflashed it with 14.3.A.0.757 firmware, didn't help. This phone shouldn't be SIM-locked, because it was tested with Lihuanian carriers SIM and it worked fine. Now I'm trying different SIM from the same carrier in another country - it doesn't work (I have roaming turned on). I tried SIM from local carrier - still doesn't work. Both SIMs work perfectly in another phone. I guess I'll have to bring it to seller to fix it :/ Anyway, thank you for help!

[Q] SIM not provisioned MM#2 - HELP

Hello,
Somebody help me please. Two weeks ago I upgraded my Z3 C. to lollipop. Since a few days ago I have no signal at all. sometimes I can see the message " SIM not provisioned MM#2 ". I tried downgrading to KK, but didn't work either. I don't know what else to do. Please help me.
Greetings.
this has nothing to do with the phone firmware, SIM not provisioned message indicates that your sim card isn't registered with a mobile operator [or is marked inactive on their systems]

I tested the sim card in other cell phone and works perfectly. Before that, I thought the same. I change the sim card and then the company. None of that function. It is not a problem of the sim card, is the cell phone the problem.
After I downloaded, then uploaded finally it start working the internet (3g) but I still can't receive or send calls, messages, or anything.
could it be that your z3c is simlocked to a specific network?
as i said in my previous message - "sim not provisioned" indicates that the sim isn't registered, if your sim works with a different phone, then perhaps your phone is simlocked

But it's weird, cause before this the sim was working perfectly and suddenly stopped the signal of everything... and now, after re installing the OS I can use 3g but not calling, sending sms or receiving. do you still think that perhaps the sim is locked? (It is an honest question)
Thanks.

no, to be honest I still think it's a sim card issue and nothing else, btw, sonymobile are suggesting the same as you can see here

Question Sim card detected but no network connection

I just bought this phone about 2 days, but it has poor signal, and now it cannot receive any signal with no network connection indicator, I even tried using e-sim but its just the same. I already tried factory reset, network reset, flash stock firmware via odin but no luck. Any help?

maybe it is just a problem with some sort of connection for the e-sim/physical thing, what is the carrier? please do not post your imei
also try turning airplane mode on and off
Welcome to XDA
Maybe be a bad sim card.
Sim cards can be damaged by ESD, handle it like a stick of ram. Never touch the contacts and at least discharge yourself by touching an earth ground before handling it.
Sim cards are good when they leave the manufacturer, a failure almost always is due to ESD damage afterward by the installer... just like ram sticks.
P
Access point names misconfiguration.
If it's a carrier phone like AT&T they will help you troubleshoot it.
I can see 2 issues here: 1. You have dud sim or 2. You didn't pay your telephone bill...if it's 2, you'd still get a connection. Have you tried using a sim from another provider?
Is it a brand new phone or second hand? If the latter are you sure it's not stolen and network blocked? The fact the esim also doesn't work would suggest this could be the case as it likely rules out a hardware problem with the sim or simcard slot.
Just an FYI, but I believe that this issue is tied to Samsung's latest update for the S21U. I pushed it through this morning and now whenever I disable my WiFi, I lose my cellular connection for about 10 minutes and only get it back after waiting, doing a reboot or turning WiFi back on...
Very strange...

If you bought it from official channels, raise a ticket for support with your Carrier or Seller. If you got it off e-bay or by other means, go back to the source and try to ensure it's not a stolen and IMEI blocked device. There are a lot of stolen phones floating around in the second hand market.
If even a clean ODIN flash isn't working, it's unlikely it's a user fixable problem so you'll most likely have to go to the service centre for this.
Try connecting to 3g/2g instead
should work if you have bad 4g connection in your country
Just by settings---> connections --->mobile network --> than change from 5g/4g... to 3g/2g and see if it improves
