Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks
this section is for i9000 Galaxy S, not Galaxy S II, pay more attention please because here maybe we can't help you
Unlock the phone and flash to a generic firmware.
And please post in the correct sections to get help better.
Hi,
I have 2 weeks ago bought a Galaxy Tab Verizon SCH-I800 from a friend. Everything worked perfectly, after 5 minutes, there was a message "System Update Available". This I did. The tab was a reset, since it is dead Nothing, just nothing, no download mode, no recovery mode, no battery sign. I guess because I am from Germany, the system has loaded a German update. Since this tab is not available in Germany, however, it probably came to this crash. Please, please give me some advice on how I this tab again to bring it to work. And please, if you have a suggestion, please explain it so that it is understood an idiot, I am of this field is an absolute layman.
Thank you so much.

I have a Samsung i9000T that I recently bought from a lady who said she forgot her password to it so she couldn't unlock it. So I bought it and tried factory resetting it so I could sell it to a friend of mine who wants to upgrade from an iPhone 3G. Well factory resetting did nothing, I did some digging and found out that it's a common problem for i9000's to have a csc file corruption. So I decided to flash, via odin, a stock firmware to the device. The firmware I decided on was a UK firmware because I couldn't find an american firmware for it. The flash was successful and I was able to boot the phone no problem. A weird thing was that all of the lady's data was still on the phone, so I contacted her and told her I could backup all of her pics and give them to her, which she happily said yes to. After that, I rooted the phone and installed cwm and then flashed Slim rom android 4.2.1 to the device. I then put a backup sim of mine in the phone and tested the phone. The problem I am having is I don't get any signal on the phone what so ever. I have all the ATT apn's on the phone and they look to be correct.
My question is, having flashed a UK firmware before anything somehow messed up the ability to connect to ATT here in the USA? And what course of action should I take to correct the issue with no signal? My friend is in the military and is being mobilized on the 1st of march so I would like to have a working phone for him before then as I will not see him for some time after.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Just a question, has she ever reported it stolen? Has the IMEI number been blocked?
Find out the IMEI number and contact the original Network Supplier that the phone was used on and as them to check this. They'd be able to tell you if there are any issues.
Not trying to worry you but it happened to me. I had to return the phone.
I know the imei, but I don't know the original carrier for the phone... I assume it was ATT because that is the dominant carrier in my area. I'll get in touch with the lady I bought it from and see for sure.
On another note, I've tried testing the internal antenna by inserting a wire into the external port, but still no signal.
I'm going to try completely starting over and see how it goes this time.
Ok, so this thread can be closed now. I've solved the problem.. and feel like such a noob for some reason I was kinda spot on with what i thought was wrong but I had such a hard time finding files to fix it... untill i found this:

AMAZING guide. Fixed my problem right up. Running 3G here in Texas on ATT. My friend will be so happy that he gets to take an android back over-seas with him.
Thanks to all of those who helped, I greatly appreciate it.
All,
Not sure if this belongs in here.
Can any one offer their help / opinion on this situation.
A could of weeks back I lost my previous S3 reported it lost to Tesco Mobile (sim only contract) and brought myself my current S4 LTE. This was locked to orange and I had this removed and all was working fine.
The other week went away and had no signal, not unusual for where I was as I never have any signal there so thought nothing more bout it. Got home a few days later and still no signal.
Intially though it may have been my sim as it was an old standard sim that I had cut down so ordered a replacement. Received this nad out it in the phone expecting to be up and running but no such luck.
Was on the phone to Tesco asking if the network was down and but no.
I then had asked if the phone was locked. It seems that some where along the line with on going insurance claim for the lost phone I have probably mixed them up and had the new phones IMEI blocked as well. the person on Tesco said not a problem that they can send a notice off to get the IMEI bar lifted.
5 days later and still no signal. Every thing else on the phone works, wifi (when hooked up) just no phone signal, Message on lock screen says "no signal - Tesco Mobile"
Is the IMEI still barred? Is 5 days too long for it to be lifted? I keep re- booting in the hope that it needs to be re-booted to re-set.
It has been rooted and running Cyanogen 10.1
Android version - 4.2.2
Kernel Version - 3.0.64-CM-G06b6513
I do not think that there is a problem with the root / mod as it was working fine before. Unless you can tell me other wise.
Thanks for any help advise?

You need to ask the network re the unblocking .
Are you asking a question about your SGS3 ??? I9305 or should you be in the S4 forums ???

Sorry, it's an S3 (4g model)
Called the network the other day and seems as though it has been unlocked to them but not to me. Have tried with an orange sim and same thing.
Will give them a call.
Thanks
I bought a handset a few years ago from eBay - HTC Touch Pro2 - which the owner had obviously reported lost. The IMEI was listed on the CEIR blacklist; both my Telco (T-Mobile) and the original Telco (Vodafone) said that removal of the blacklist was impossible as the bar was permanent.
Might be time to pester Tesco for a new handset if it's their fault!
Hi, so i got this Galaxy Note from a friend, no warranty. I live in Italy and I use Telecom. When i insert my sim the phone doesn't seem to find my service, it only finds other Italian services, which i don't use. I already tried to reflash the last firmware, i tried to change modem and i tried to tear it down too to see if the antenna cable was disconnected but it wasn't. I dont really know what to do, do you have any advice?
