[SOLVED] [Q] Get into D4 not recognizing SIM?

Hello guys,
I bought a shattered-screen D4 off eBay for spare parts. It was listed as not booting, but it actually boots fine. The problem is it doesn't recognize the SIM and as it was wiped before I got it, I can't get anyhow get inside the system. I tried Airplane mode, but still the initial SIM unlock is needed to get inside. I can get to settings though.
Dialing *#06# or looking into settings shows the correct MEID/IMEI.
I tried switching the SIM & micro SD part from my working D4 to this one, to no avail. If there is a HW problem, it has to be on the main PCB - but it doesn't seem to be broken anyhow.
ADB shell won't let me into most folders including data (not rooted ofc):
Code:
C:\>adb shell
127|[email protected]_maserati:/ $ ls /data
ls /data
opendir failed, Permission denied
I can browse contents of sdcard0 via USB Mass Storage - not that it would help though.
Do you think there is a way to root the phone and install safestrap?

hi LuH,
I hope you will still read this. I have exactly the same phone, with exactly the same problem (does not read any SIM, at least italian ones)... did you manage your D4 to work? Was it sim-locked or not? I don't get any messages from mine...
Thanks!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I never got it to work (and didn't really try as this was a second unit for spare parts and testing that wasn't even supposed to boot according to the ebay listing) in GSM. Everything is fine except it doesn't recognize SIM. I tried switching the piece of PCB with SD and SIM terminals with one from my working phone, to no avail, so I suspect something's wrong with the main PCB.
I don't think it's any kind of simlock - that would have gone away when I sbf-restored it IMO. I suggest buying new unit, or claiming warranty for this one if applicable.
What I tried to solve here was how to get past the activation screen (which doesn't work without SIM, it requires it to be inserted for activation) so I can root the phone and install safestrap and flash different ROMs - which can be done using the 4-corner trick to skip activation.

Aha, many thanks for your answer ... at the end I sent back the phone to the vendor, as it was clear that the problem was the PCB/SIM slot. I suppose that a little number of D4 was defected in production, as some other people reported a similar problem here and there...
Hope next one will work

Mobile on my Note 5 N920W8 can't connect to provider

I bought a used Note 5 64GB yesterday. I put my 7-11 Speakout sim into it, and it worked great. I also tried a Wind Mobile sim and that worked well too. After I got the device home I noticed that there was a software update for it, however, I couldn't install the update due to "unauthorized software having been detected". The error message suggested I use SmartSwitch. I proceeded to download SmartSwitch, and once I installed it and plugged in my device it began updating. Unfortunately, once the update was complete my device's phone could no longer be used, "Could not connect to requested network..". When I manually search for mobile networks I can find WIND/Bell/Rogers and Speakout but, like I mentioned, I can't connect to them.
Any idea what I've done wrong? I've tried flashing the device a number of times now (custom roms + stock roms) and I can't seem to get the mobile functionality working again. I have tried a Bell / Rogers / Wind and a Speakout sim card and all result in the same thing.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if you are having a similar problem to the one I describe here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64872537&postcount=22
so far no solution has been offered. I've contacted Bell via their 'escalation' request.... silence
It seems like the software upgrade to 'N920W8VLU2AOK5' has caused mobile connection issues for some Note 5 users.
I will let you know if / when anything happens

No carrier data after Odin stock restore [NEED HELP]

Hi everyone,
Noob here. I was trying to sideload the 6.0 OS and was having issues. The after many attempts, the install worked...but then failed the installation. After this, on the bootloader screen, I was getting the error "dm-verity verification failed" which some posts recommended re-flashing a stock image onto it to fix this. So I looked for a stock image of 5.1.1 and found a guide on how to do this restore. All of this part went fine.
Except now, everything is working but no carrier data. I have phone calls, wifi, etc. I will try to give as much information as possible, please let me know if you're missing some information I can provide.

The phone is offering a 103.30MB update right now. When I try to install it, it reboots the phone, shows the installation progress bar and fails (around 25% I think).
Can you please help me get back to a working state?

Yowza. You're on BOI2 (old) build with newest official base band (BOJ9).
I think your best bet is to use ODIN to flash BOJ7, then follow the instructions in the update to MM thread - side load to BOJ9 then PD5 then PD6.
Everything you need is linked in the OP of this thread.

Thanks for pointing me to that post. I started the flash in Odin with OJ7, putting all files in their proper field. The flash failed shortly after starting. Now the device says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."
I installed and started the Smart Swtich software. The device is not listed in the Emergency Software Recovery list. I reinstalled the drivers a couple times, I can see the device in Device Manager and everything looks fine. How do I get out of this situation...
Every time I reboot the phone, it shows that same screen about the Emergency recovery.
Thanks

I could be wrong, but I don't think smart switch works for recovery on ATT models. Maybe take it to a best buy with Samsung store and see if they can get you up to full BOJ9?
Mucking around with Samsung software isn't my strongest suit - the s6 has been pretty locked down so I haven't played around much, and my last Sammy before it was an S2. Maybe someone more familiar can jump in.

I got it to work. I used Odin to flash each file, one at a time (since one of them was causing an issue). 3 of them worked. I then sideloaded OJ9, then PD5. I have PD6 left, but I'm sure it'll go well.
Thanks for your help mate

not registered on network

Hey guys,
since i went to rome last week i got the "not registered on network" error. Here are some details about my phone:
model: SM-G800F
android: 6.0.1
rooted? yes! i rooted the phone yesterday to follow some guides to repair it. didn't work
baseband: g800FXXU1CPL1
kernel: 3.4.39-8954887
build: MMB29K.G800FXXU1CPL1
warranty? expired early 2017
It's my first android phone, so i got really low skills with repairing it.
What I already did:
test another sim in the S5 Mini
test the sim from the S5 Mini in another phone
facotry reset
Tried to do a manual OTA Update: I always get the error that there is a network or server error
smart switch emergency recovery: doesnt't recognize my phone
flash 6.0.1 without repart via ODIN
coincidentally i saw that the IMEI in the phone (*#06#) differs from the one behind the battery :/ I think this could be the error, but i don't know how to fix it.
Thanks in advance for your help

That wrong IMEI even remains after i deleted the EFS Folder oO

Not registered on network imei issue
Hi There,
Did you ever get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !!
Cheers.

5th digit back is boot loader bit number. This error is commonly from trying to flash with older firm Ware than on the devices
