Hello, my S5 mini has the first problems 1 year after bought, sometimes there was the error not registered on network. I have sent it twice to the support, but it was returned with "no error".
Now warranty over i have the error not registered on network, and can not use it for telefoning. The IMEI was correct, i can receive the network, but i can not register to it. I have the last marshmallow update flashed over OTA.
in former times, i have to remove the sim and reinsert it, to get it work again, but now this does not work. The simcard ist changed from the provider, and i bouhgt another simcard from another networkk, to test it.
Can i fix this problem?

Sam here, call me cynical but happened 6 months after phone ran out of warranty. Done all the basics, diff SIM from different provider reset phone, even re-flashed phone and no joy, tried all the modem software going and phone will only work on 2G. Samsung support said take it to repairers hmmm wonder what that's going to cost. New phone, New manufacturer I think. This is 2nd Samsung ive had issues with
I've only just got my first Android phone from a mate after obnoxiously using iPhones for years+, an S5 Mini that lags and ****s itself at every moment. I've now got a gangsaf little unit learning anything I can about this phone and after all my errors, not once have I seen this.
Just for relevancy, I have a G800Y model but I'm using one of the two kernels I could find that looked decent which the devs have listed under G800F and as far as I can tell or what I've read, there's no real difference other than a difference between the LTE bands they can access (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). If it would be so much as to ask what exactly is the software specifications of both of your devices? By this I mean:
- What ROM are you running; [Stock] or [Custom]?
- Have you rooted your device?
- Have you tried finding your device's most recent stock modem software?
- Did anything lead to this or is there anything you believe could have contributed to the occurence of such a problem?
- What carrier are you with in what location? If you do not wish to say for whatever reason, have you tried a search for devices with similar problems and a possible resolution method?

Hi guy,
I recently reported my phone lost, got it blacklisted by tmobile. I since then found it and then called up to have it unblacklisted again.
However, it seems to work on the tmobile network fine. However, when i put in another sim card in the phone (the phone is unlocked) i get the error msg hone not allowed MM #6.
My assumption/hope is that the databases for the network providers need updating.
Can someone confirm is a phone which has been reported lost(blacklisted) and then found(unblacklisted) will work on all networks?
It's more likely that your phone isn't SIM unlocked so it sees the new SIM and then tells you "T-Mobile is the only SIM I'll accept."
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!
I think my N7000 is broken. Since a couple of days I cannot make or receive phone calls with my SIM card from the carrier 3 (Three Sweden). I've tried two different SIM cards from 3 but it's the same problem. Data traffic still works though since I can surf the Internet without problem. When trying to make a phone call it immediately hangs up, and if I try to make a call to the phone it's unreachable. My phone is unbranded/unlocked BTW.
I've tested with SIM cards from two other carriers and they both work.
The only think I can think of is that 3G voice calls are somehow broken on my N7000. My carrier only supports 3G and maybe that's what's broken... what do you think? (the other cards I tested also supports 2G and maybe that's the reason they worked, but I'm not sure).

I think your issue is the same as mine, though to clarify my issue somewhat:
When the phone does this and I try to make a call it doesn't hang up, it kinds of gets stuck and keeps waiting for the back-end to respond. Similarly, trying to send or receive SMS messages doesn't work either. Rebooting fixes this, though it may happen again quite soon or it may take several days to happen again.
I think it is some background-process related to radio operation getting stuck, though I cannot say what causes it. Factory reset and even full reformat and reset had no effect.
I hope ICS fixes the issue.
What I've tried so far is:
Full wipe - No change
Next step will be to visit my carrier store downtown and test yet another SIM card from them. If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to get it repaired.
Oh yes... I tried another card from another carrier (Telenor) and changed Network Mode from "GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)" to "WCDMA only" and it still worked. So now I'm not sure why it doesn't work on Tre ?!?
/Tubgirl
Update: Got a new SIM card from Three but unfortunately it didn't help. Tomorrow I'll send my phone to get repaired :-(

i got the same problem but is t mobile uk, "Data traffic still works though since I can surf the Internet without problem. When trying to make a phone call it immediately hangs up" I tried others sim vodafone, o2 both work without problem.
Factory reset, different stock roms no help...
Yep, same here. I just downgraded to KK4 stock ROM using Odin and it still didn't help.
Cannot send/receive SMS either.

I guess I have a Galaxy Tab 5.3 now
/Tubgirl
I have a similar issue, some times i cant call and receaved calls ends few seconds after hanging up.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
i give up, i changed the network providers to 3 network everythings back to normal.
I can't find the link right now but I read somewhere that there's a hidden area on the phone where IMEI and other carries specific information is stored. As I understand that area is not restored when flashing ROMs. Maybe there's a chance that area has been corrupted??
Brgds... /Tubgirl
In my case , I cannot receive call - I believe it is software issue.
Is there any workaround how to fix it ?

Have you checked that your IMEI is fine (matches the one in the box or the one below the battery)?
i doubt its software issue, i also thought that i was having a software issue, after so many roms that i tried flashing, same result. stock or customized. I went to samsung service center and they had it tested, replaced the board that has to do with the antenna, and now everything is working properly.
same issue i have checked imei with the box and it ok, i can connect to 3G but can't make call only emergency call.
tried CSC Change

Well my case is a bit more complicated.... when i try to dial a number it just black screen and then a popup "Not registered on network" any solution?
I'll try and keep this breif but getting pretty frustrated with this...
I bought this handset sim free from T-Mobile UK. It was brand new and sealed. When inserting my Three(3) sim it would say "invalid sim" - which was expected as it was locked to T-Mobile. I paid a third party UK company called mobileunlocked.co.uk who have a very good reputation and lots of good reviews for an unlock code so I could use it with a Three (3) UK 3G Sim card. I received the unlock code and an un-freeze code and used both several times, resulting in "unsuccessful". Thinking it was a bad code, I paid ANOTHER unlocking company off ebay (again, reputable) and was supplied with the same codes and the same results but a slightly different method which involved entering * and # keys before the codes in the code box. This resulted in a popup saying "Network control code is blocked".
Following this, I tried the *#197328640# method to access the hidden menus as detailed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 (this has been proven to work with Note II, Galaxy SIII and Galaxy SIII LTE).
I followed that guide to the letter and restarted the phone. At first, I had hope as there was no sim lock code entry box, however I waited and waited and waited and the phone did not pick up my Three (3) signal, despite it no longer saying "invalid sim".
Basically, it just shows several bars but does not pick a Three(3) signal or any date. I have tried manually selecting the network and manually entering APN settings, but I get the same result. When I try connecting manually it just says "Cannot register on network".
-I have tried using this sim card in other phones, it works OK!
-I have tried using other network sim cards (Orange, T-Mobile, EE, Vodafone) and they all work.
-I have tried using a different Three(3) sim in this phone and it still doesn't work.
I can't return it to the T-Mobile store as the warranty is invalid as I have unlocked it (or so I think!). Can anyone help? I know three(3) sims are compatible with this phone as others on this forum have stated they are using Three (3) sims in unlocked i9305s.
Any idea why my unlocking codes that were valid wouldn't work and why it said "Network control code is blocked"?
Any idea why my Three(3) micro sims won't work but other networks do despite this phone being compatible with three (3) sims?
Help!
It doesn't appear that 3 UK has any publicly available LTE network at this time, but that they are rolling one out. Perhaps it is physically available and being picked up by your phone, except 3 isn't allowing just any sim card to register on that network at this time? Try disabling LTE and attempting to connect again.

I know I won't be able to get LTE as Three (3) aren't offering LTE until Q3. I am perfectly happy just using 3G. I have tried disabling LTE and using 3G only and the same things happen.
I have tried 2 different Three (3) micro sims in it and it still won't register on the network. I know Three(3) sims work in the i9305 as others have unlocked their's and used Three (3) sims.
It's either something wrong with the unlock, something wrong with the hardware or something isn't enabled/disabled. Like I said I've tried automatically connecting and manually entering APNs and still NOTHING.
Frustrating having spent over £450 on a brand new handset which I can't return as warranty is invalidated through "unlocking" (which hasn't unlocked it fully!)

Shouldn't be a problem to be honest. Have you tried calling three to say that you're using the i9305? I love three and their unlimited data plans I plan to do this once samsung/EE unlock my phone.

Hi,
I am in the same boat, I actually got the S3 LTE from EE in December (GOT IT FOR 359).. Initially, it worked with three after unlocking via xda..*#197328640# method ..But it stopped working or it was working intermittently...
So tried rining three..they said..ohhh our network is best and our (three) sims will work only in three mobiles..
Anyway I tried all other methods..re-set..factory etc..
Finally sent the mobile to Samsung...
after 10days, I got it back...Now as soon as I insert three sim..it says invalid sim..So tried *#197328640# method again..unfortunately..i can't do that as (the last option INITIALIZE...) does not show up now..
Anyway managed to get unlock code from ebay...NO USE..it shows the same problem as yours.."network control is blocked"...
Donno what to do??? might ring samsung again tomorrow...
Have you tried speaking to T mobile about getting it unlocked????
If you find any answers..pls let me know
Thanks in advance
I'm having the same problem. Any updated on how things went with T-mobile or does anyone have a fix?
Should I cancel my order?!
I just bought the S3 LTE i9305. I purchased it as an upgrade and its arriving tomorrow. I wanted to give my sim to my mother and keep the phone to use with Three's DC-HSPA+ which will work on the S3 LTE. So can I unlock it or will it be facing the same problems as mentioned in the thread. Sorry for not helping out, ama noob and GOOD LUCK! :good:
I recently put in an unlocking request at EE. They get a samsung unlocking code directly from Samsung. So I'll give this method a go. I am getting my Sim Card in soon from three. Decided to jump the boat on to the one plan @ £25 a month. =) EE's london signal is pants. =(

I tried to get an unlock code from T-mobile, they said that Samsung wouldn't release it for another six months, since it's a new phone. Even though we've been with them for donkeys years!
Right today, I recieved my sim. I'm glad to say everything works. I'm getting around 8mbps down and 1mbps up in West London.
If yours doesnt work then it probably is a damaged sim.
Tell T-Mobile you want to speak to someone that knows what they are talking about. It takes up to 60 days for direct Samsung unlock code. You might have to pay a tenner but worth it jn my perspective. I'm glad I have unlimited data again. It feels like freedom. No Joke. o2 Used to do an unlimited tariff and I loved it. There reasoning was to improve their network but instead it made it worse. I know Three arent known for their calls but they certainly know what customers want and thats data.
PS how do I know if im getting the optimum speed?

I think you have updated the software via OTA.. you need to downgrade to I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_I9305BVALI5 (this is for people who have got phone from T-mobile). Download from Sammobile.com, flash via odin (this wont affect ur warranty as this is stock firmware and doesnt increase the binary counter).
once you are sure that you have the above software, then follow the instructions on the below in first post in the mentioned link, again no rooting involved:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
People have confirmed that after unlocking via this method if you go ahead with OTA, you will still have the phone unlocked.
I have followed the above procedure but havent updated the firware and have not used the phone yet. But its unlocked and I have tried using Three UK sim, it works,
Do let me know how it goes.

On the site, it says it's for EE, is that still ok? I know T-mobile, Orange and EE, are all pretty much the same thing now, but I just want to be sure. I wouldn't want to put something that starts putting EE logos all over on boot up etc. The one that came with the phone doesn't mention anything about T-mobile on boot up.
It won't EE is unbranded
Thanks... I've zapped it with 4.1.1, used that trick, and then allowed the 4.1.2 update + plus another update of some sort through OTA, and I'm now using O2 happily! Cheers!

Great news!
I bought a second hand GT-I9305. After the first boot I dicided I wanted to flash it with the CM nichtly. I first rooted the stock rom, flashed a recovery and then flashed CM. Now the problem is the I can't make calls. When I dial a number the phone responds with 'call ended' before it even starts.
I don't know if the phone worked to begin with, the first thing I did is flash it.
I've tried different roms now and reverted back to the 4.3 factory image. None of that fixed the problem. I've also tried putting to 2 or 3G only which didn't help either. My phone still shows an imei number.
I'm completely aware of the fact that I might have done something very stupid. I flashed android devices before but I'm the type of person who reads the manual when it's to late.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?
I'm usint T-mobile on the EE network in the UK.
Problem still unsolved, more information
I'm giving some more information as the problem isn't solved yet.
I'm on a Pay as You Go sim that works fine in another phone (HTC Desire S). I've now also try to downgrade to 4.1.1 but still no luck. I've also tried different sims but the problem occurs with those sims as well.
The phone looks to be registered to the network, at least that's what it shows. Also, data works, I get a 3G and H+ connection,
I'm more than happy to provide more information. Any help is greatly appreciated.

IMEI blocked? If you're in UK try www.checkmend.com/uk/ it'll cost you 1.99 but might save you time & effort...
My S5 Mini SM-G800F won't stay registered on a network, it registers initially but after a few seconds drops to 'Emergency calls only' with the notification that the selected network is unavailable. The signal strength is fine and the sim works in other phones. It's an unlocked phone, using a different network sim produces the same result. Bought it secondhand just over a month ago and it's been fine up to to a couple of days ago, done a hard factory reset but the issue remains.
Ideas for a fix?
This may or not be similar to an ongoing issue I have with my S5 Mini - See below :- Has your IMEI changed to the below at all - 350695200123951-01 ?
"Hi All,
Did any one actually 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 !! "

No change to my IMEI, consensus seems to be that it's probably a faulty SIM card reader.
