Hey everyone, since yesterday I've been having some issues and I hope you can help me with it...
My Captivare wont let me send sms or calls, and on the screen says "mobile network not available"I was using the CM7 last build, so all I did was flash it again, hoping that would solve the problem, but that didn’t do anything, later I tried going back to Stock... so I used Odin to go back to 2.2, but now my phone says ” PHONE NOT ALLOWED MM#6” when it boots, and when I try to call someone says “data network not available”.
When I use the SIM in another phone works perfect, so the network is working.
What can I do to fix this ??
Sorry for my english
Sounds like your IMEI is incorrect. Some carriers outside the US do block the generic IMEI for Captivates. Try checking these posts and see if that helps you fix it. If not, Mobiletechvideos can rebuild your IMEI for a fee.

Huh? Can I get a translation? I'm guessing English isn't your first langauge and it is making it hard for me to understand the point you're trying to get across.
Where and from when did they started this for free? ??????
I don't think they do it for free. But I would love it if they did because I will be using their service sometime in the future.
Ridhi, I think the misunderstanding is that Red_81 said MobileTechVideos will do it for a fee, not that they would do it for free.
Reading and comprehension are two skills that are sadly lacking in the forums.

He said "for a fee," not "for free."
Apologies friends i think i need to get the eye test done.
Hi everyone again, after 3 days of struggle with my phone I've been able to fix it.
Red_81 thanks for you response the problem was the IMEI but none of the links you gave me works for me
After a lot of searching I found a guide that solves the problem of my phone these are the steps:
- Make sure you are on Froyo (whatever ROM, it worked for me on the stock UCJI6 )
- You need to be Root and have Busybox installed
- Now download the version of Galaxy_S Unlock that is at the end of this post into your phone
- Go to your download folder and click to unzip, then launch the .apk file
- If Android doesn't let you install go to Settings > Applications > tick Unknown sources and try again
0. Go to the tab > Signal fix problem
1. Save efs folder
2. Delete nv_data.bin files + reboot
3. Restore data + reboot
4. Create bak files
- Last step that is "restore efs folder" is only there for if the fix didn't work. It's very clear in the app.
That's it !
Now my phone is fully functional thank to this guide and Thanks all who tried to help me.

Did you get the original IMEI back for your phone or do you have the test one that starts with 0049?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It's the test one but works fine.
Do you know wich may be the consecuences if I keep this IMEI ?
There shouldn'tbe any issues with that one staying on your phone. Some other carriers block this IMEI but none of the American carriers seem to.

Hi Guys. First off I'm posting this for information in hopes to help anyone else having this problem. I'll go over the problem I was having. What caused the problem for me and the steps I took to resolve it.
Problem:
A Handsfree activation bootloop. More specifically, no matter which rom, RUU, OTA, recovery or firmware I flashed, my phone would go threw a HFA and PRL update, say that it was successful and reboot on it's own and start the process over again. If at some point by chance I could catch it and disable the vDM.apk would be the only way I could stop it and boot normally. I tried resetting my profile, factory resets, Sprint support (which was completely useless) and everything else mentioned above. I even threw the kitchen sink in for good measure. lol. I was able to make phone calls, receive text and mms. I even had LTE and 3G service. But my wifi calling and sprint zone didn't work. So I knew something wasn't activating properly.
Cause:
Well for me it started when I accidentally flashed a M7 rom. Yeah don't laugh, it happens. Anyway, in recovery it said it failed but not before it formatted "/dev/block/mmcblk0p37" which is the system partition on the M7. But on the M8, it's the /carrier partition. So it erased all my info and filled it with a bunch of s**t. To the point that the partition was full and activation couldn't write to it. It also injected a bunch of s**t in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p39" which is the /devlog partition on the M8. So just a big mess. This is just how I got to this point. I'm not saying this your cause but the fix might help you.
Fix:
1 Get your self to a point that you are booted up to a rom. If you can't, try flashing an international rom made for sprint like "insert coin" for example. Those don't HFA bootloop from my experience.
2 Download MSL reader from the market. And get your MSL you'll need it later.
3 With a good root explorer, go to /carrier folder, do a backup of it (just in case) open the folder and delete everything in the folder.
4 Go to /devlog folder, open it and delete everything in there. (You don't need this stuff, it will rewrite itself).
5 Download the zip at the bottom of the post, extract it and copy the contents to your /carrier folder. Don't worry about the /devlog folder. leave it empty.
6 Now your going to flash a RUU. Download the one you want. I used https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001604379 (Don't worry it won't get you S-on or lock your bootloader). It will probably do a HFA again and it should fail. If not, try disabling it. Because we need to get to the dialer.
7 In your dial pad enter ##786# and go to edit mode. Enter your MSL if it asks you. Go to the menu button at the upper right and hit reset. Go threw the promps, the phone should reboot and restore. Let it boot up. It will go threw HFA again. But now you'll notice it activated properly. At this point your all done. Flash a custom recovery again. Profit.
Special Thanks to @Captain_Throwback You rock.
Let me know if this helps. Please post any questions and I'll try guiding you threw.
Dude iv been having some serious issues with data. I'm going to try this and see what happens thanks.

What ROM?
If it is stock based you can try this, either go through TWRP and select file manager or do this in the zip before flashing.
Go to system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS and rename the apk by adding .bak after .apk.
After the phone boots and you pass setup you can always rename the file by removing the .bak
You might get better results by posting this question in that ROM thread, or make a thread in the Q&A and put the ROM name in the title of the thread.

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..
We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.
I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.
Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..
So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.
So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update
Hello all, as all of you knew, we've experienced the Samsung Account Expired Session issue and with a looping pop up messages that's really annoying and preventing us from access Samsung market and any other clouding services.
I figured out how to fix it after surfing within all previous solutions which were not fixed mine.
enough of bla bla bla and it's time for how to fix it:
Download a fresh and updated copy of the Samsung Account APK from this link https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=samsung+account
Install it over the current one
And finally try to loign back and will be connected successfully without any future messages
Tadaaaaaaa
Appreciated your reply back with your testing result.
Ohh tks so much, it happened to me only when I install a custom recovery. Will try it and will see what happens.
Tks for your coop.

Google and Install latest Magisk Canary version.
Settings --> Switch ON Zygisk and Enforce Deny List.
Configure Deny List --> Select your Bank app, NFC provider app (like GPay etc)
Install latest SafetyNet Module and reboot.
All the best!
