well you shouldn't have flashed anything on it. If it was working you should have just used it. Most probably the phone your using is from an other country and single sim. Go to download mode and check the model number, it will be something along the lines of N960N/F/F-DS and then in setting about phone see if the two model numbers match.
I hope you had made a backup. If not go back to the seller and ask him to redo the software of your phone. Or you can struggle for your self on the internet and find someone who can help you (it will be straight up hell).
And if you want anything relevant to your problem the only place I know where this problem was fix is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...us-ng-help-t4073865/post83258373#post83258373

If it had TWRP on it then it was not new but a used phone that possibly was faulty .Return to seller .

[Help needed] Emergency calls only

Hi there!
I've looked around the forum for a solution to this issue and unfortunately my case doesn't apply to any of the posts I've found.
Three months ago I followed the instructions of the hex hack posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 in order to restore my phone's IMEI (since then I've been using the generic one 00499... etc)
The phone was rooted using Odin3 v1.7 to install the CF Root Kernel CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS.tar and finally I unlocked it.
The thing is my phone can't make/receive any calls. I've tried my old SIM card in another phone and it worked.
It's not the SIM card. I even asked for a new one just in case and my phone company sent it for free, but it's still not working.
I tried a different SIM card from the same company in my phone and it works just fine, so it can't be the IMEI being barred.
The weirdest thing of all is I still receive emails and whatsapp messages because the phone logs in to the 3G network without any trouble. Under "Status" you'll see:
Phone number - Unknown
Network - Claro AR
Service state - Out of service
Mobile network state - Connected
I restored the nv_data files in the efs folder thinking they might have been corrupted but I couldn't solve anything.
WTF is going on? Any expert suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Did this happens suddenly 3 o 4 days ago?
I do have exactly the same issue on the same network, strange coincidence...
Please post your solution if you find one.
thanks

Yes it did. Not sure when exactly but must have been on wednesday night.
I haven't found a solution yet but the phone is working since this morning. I don't know for how long it will stay this way.
Please post any news or changes in your phone. It might help us, you never know.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm having the same issue all over again, exactly as described above.
Can somebody give me a hand here? Please?
Thank you very much!

[Q] My Note cannot make/receive phone calls anymore :(

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 ?!?

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.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
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
Galaxy Sim Unlocker and all unlocked
Base Band and Firmware on XXLSZ
the phone is british in italy

Have you guys already tried to use your sims in someone else's phone? Could it be that you have data only plans? Those plans do no allow phone calls even if the device itself can make calls.

No Service even with full strong 5 bars signal

Hi,
I used my Note 4 for 10 months and today it said "No Service".
I backup and reset the phone, still issue.
I went thru Settings and manually select network, still issue.
I take the SIM out and put in another phone, it worked fine.
I put a working SIM from the other phone, still "No Service" issue.
I never flash firmware on this Note 4.
I don't think the cell radio is dead because the phone has full 5-6 bars strong signal.
Could it be blacklist for some reason? (I bought it from ebay and the seller unlocked it before).
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Dial *#06# and see if it shows your imei.
If it shows lots of zeros or ( NULL ) then it might be corrupted or black listed.
Try this app and run it this will refresh your modem and radios

Thanks for quick reply. *#06# returns same IMEI and SN as in the battery back. I installed and ran the tool as well. Still no service.

Try this steps 1 by 1
1,Go to settings/mobile networks/network mode and change to 2g/gsm and reboot see if it works.
If 1st method dosent work then try 2nd or 3rd
2,Backup everything and factory reset
3,try flash fresh stock firmware via odin tool and do factory reset after flashing firmware.
If all of this doesn't work for you then might be hardware issue in sim slot ic or radio antenna not sure.
Try different sim cards.

Check your APN in Setting/Network. Should either be AT&T Nxtgenphone, AT&T PTA, AT&T Phone.
Thanks everyone for helping out. I ended up calling tmobile after checking the IMEI and they unlock it for me because it was reported as lost/stolen.

Won't stay registered on network

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.

Emergency calls only after stock room flash

Hi. I flashed a stock room with Odin in my Samsung S10 (SM-G973F). The phone is made in Argentina so i installed a free carrier ROM from there, then after i flashed the ROM from my country but in no case i can get my SIM to work on it. What i can do?
Edit: Aparently i have a imei status: NG.
IMEI status NG likely means that the carrier has blacklisted your IMEI, and is refusing the activate it. IMEIs are often blacklisted because the phone is stolen or for various other reasons.
In the USA, carriers will work together on IMEI blacklisting, but I don't know how it works in other countries...

The phone it's from Argentina. I'm almost sure that it's not stolen, but i supose that it was unlocked by someone else before i got it into my possession, and then when i flashed stock rom i messed up the unlock. The imei doesn't appear in any blacklist page (even the one from my country). There is a way to restore the unlock with Samsung Tool Pro or changing the IMEI? (changing IMEI en my country it is legal)
I don't know about the Samsung Tool Pro. I also don't believe XDA allows discussion about IMEI changing, but yes I think it can be done. You may need to find another place to discuss this.
If you're reasonably sure that the IMEI is fine, you could call your carrier and ask them what is happening. Maybe they just need to fix something on their end?
