[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Its been a long slog but ive got the os - I thought id open a new thread. I cant seem to register on the phone network. Its not the sim as ive tried another on (another provider) and that's the same and its also been a problem across all (even the stock images) that ive tried. Ive read on another thread is there a folder that I could have formatted which holds network or radio information....?

Just a thought....

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
ok - I believe its something to do with me imei number being forgotten....found a tool called the ARIZA patch but for some reason my cm13 build isn't rooted. Ive installed superuser but I still don't get root access (needed for ARIZA to work) I assumed the cm13 build would already be rooted....and idea's - I'm probably missing something...

Edit: just found the root slider - ariza patch doesn't work though - error is "phone not proper"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noppy22:
You could try this guide
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Yep - looks like that's what happened - my imei number currently is that....well, at least I know now how to get it to a custom rom so ill have to reflash back to stock first - thanks for the link, that's a great help....ill report back in a bit...thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Nope - no luck so far....but that's definitely the problem.....lost the imei....ive never had the issue before - ive flashed mine loads of times (Note 3) and never had a problem so I never thought to back it up....if anyone has any other option I can try that'd be great....

Cheers

Ive followed the walkthrough but its not 100% clear - I might run through it a few times....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin3014:
Supersu does not work on CM13, yet.

You need to turn on developer options in settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Well, all the stuff ive tried so far hasn't worked....I think id be looking at a manual entry (the imei is under the phone) so will try to find something along those lines....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
I did try going back to a stock rom but seemed fruitless. ive gone back to cm13 as it seems the system is more open (obviously). It looks like the imei changer programs will work if xposed framework is installed....which I'm currently trying to work out how to do....easier said than done...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
I think I'm done - I cant see any way of getting the imei back on there....think the phone has had it....my first loss...the xposed framework does not support the s2's architecture (that I can see)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarcelro:
I had a similar problem when I switched from ICS to JB, tree years ago. My phone would not register on any network no matter the SIM I put in (I tried 3 different operators). The only way I could solve it was with an apk called "Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock" - I had to work with that a little but after a little headache I could solve the problem. Since then, everything is ok - I can register on any network. My personal lesson from that experience is: "Never do a Factory Reset when upgrading Android (eg. ICS to JB, JB to KK, KK to LP and so on)." But that's only my experience. Now I'm on MM 6.0.1 (Cyanogen 13).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Ok- ill go take a look now....thanks for the link - I was hoping that someone could offer (something like this) so ive got another way of tackling it...cheers.

Edit - just gone looking and I cant see an app with the exact description....do you have the authors name (to narrow it down a little??)

Just to add this phone wasn't actually sim locked in the first place...are you saying that the side affect of using the sim unlocking software will insert the imei back in??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarcelro:
I bought my phone unlocked in 2011 - brand new, official release, so on.

I rooted it right away and started experimenting, installed tons of unofficial/official ROMs, playing with kernels, tweaking and everything, upgrading as soon as a new unofficial version would show up, from Stock Android 2.3.3 to... to X ... to Y... up to MM 6.0.1 (CM13) now.

I had few bricks over the time but I solved them in few hours to two days. But this problem with network registering was the longest of all and the scariest - it happened as I described it in the previous post. My understanding on that time (as I remember) was that the Factory Reset wiped my EFS.

That (Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock) apk gave me few codes I could use. Below is a note I made on those days (pretty confusing for me now, but it might help you):

-- Introducing "SIM network unlock PIN" didn't help me. I restart the phone and when it asked me the "SIM network unlock PIN", I introduced first the "Unfreeze code" but the network didn't unblock and then I introduced "SIM network unlock PIN" and the network unblocked."

As I searched now on Google Play I could not find "Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock" anymore. There is something called "GalaxSim Unlock" (by Spocky) - updated on december 2015, with support for Android 6.0.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Strange as mine I believe is the same as yours....unlocked generic phone. Ive not had any messages atall regarding "sim unlock" - my issue is theres a dummy imei in there - that's it although ill go and look now....any more information you have would be great...

Its the little things that help sometimes....I couldn't get the partitioning done atall then petrolcan mentioned a user and his script...then from that little bit of info I had a flashable zip that did everything for me...so everything helps.

I'm just not sure on the correlation between the sim unlock software and the imei missing....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarcelro:
Again, I'm not a specialist, but If I remember right, the EFS has to do with the IMEI, and on that time I have lost my EFS, and, I guess, my IMEI....

My S2 was usable (apks, games, wifi...) but not as a phone (for calling and receiving calls & SMS).

Or, you may want to try finding some ways of restoring EFS/IMEI....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
yes, the efs folder holds the file which the imei is in (a bin file) but from what I read if you remove the efs folder completely the os will generate a new one....once you've got a new file then effectively you "should" be able to inject the imei into that thus renabling your phone (and therein lies the problem - getting the imeil back in) - yes, mines the same....everything works bar the phone access to the network...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarcelro:
Just guessing: Maybe "GalaxySim Unlock" injects the IMEI??? Check the description on Google Play:

"Detects errors like

lost imei

/ serial in nv_data caused by third party apps"

You can give it a try with the free version - see what it founds on your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
I did try it....just gave me an nv_data error....nothing more than that...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarcelro:
I'll check about that tomorrow as I found few threads on XDA and I have to go now.... Hopefully you'll be "up and running" by the time I come back! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Heh - I hope so but I doubt it - spent about 5 hours Friday night, a good 12 yesterday and 12 the day before....any information you have would be great! thanks very much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
After looking around I think my best bet is the NV-items reader writer v1.0. but, I cant get it connected to the phone.....anyone got any clues on that one?? once connected it looks like you can edit the nv file and add the imei back in....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gleggie:
Will the Exynos variant work fine on Verizon? Will features be broken?

I am really disappointed how Verizon disabled certain apps and settings with the VZ variant. I am also really bummed out that the bootloader is completely locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
No.

Verizon is CDMA, only CDMA phones will work. International phones are 99% GSM phones unless the specs say CDMA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
In addition to this, even if the hardware supports the bands, Verizon has no obligation to allow the device to access or work on their network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] djh816:
Actually they do have legal obligations to do so for any supported LTE devices (per FCC regulations). That said, for Nexus 7 and 6p it took a while.

Edit: So to answer OP's question, if the bands are supported on Verizon (no idea personally the diff of the two models) it should work. My rep just needed to throw in my old SIM and I was set. It's questionable though if you make it clear to the rep that it wasn't originally a Verizon issued phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zachchen1996:
I'm wondering this too. As long as I can connect to LTE I'll be happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
Fairly certain their obligation ends at allowing their phones to be used on other networks, as without VoLTE or CDMA the phone isn't a phone and is instead a connected device, and they can block it on a phone line due to not being able to call 911. I could be mistaken though.

The 6/6p/5x all have CDMA, the 7 isn't a device you can call from, though I'm not familiar enough with it to say if it has a CDMA modem or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
I should clarify, since there's technicalities. Carriers are legally obligated to allow emergency calls on their devices, and they are obligated to network-unlock their devices so that they can be used on other carrier networks. You can also roam on their network, if Verizon has an agreement with your carrier and you have active service through your non-Verizon carrier, but they don't have to allow full access to their LTE network. However, they still reserve the right to deny activation of devices using Verizon SIMs.

Case in point, try activating a T-Mobile or even a Global LG G4 on Verizon, and they will block it. If I could activate a global version to get an unlocked bootloader, and have it work on Verizon, I would have done this 6 months ago. If I can get a bootloader unlockable S7 on Verizon, then I'm buying one ASAP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] freddie813:
Bumping this up, instead of a new thread. Disappointed in the SD820. Wondering if anyone ever got a G930F to work on Verizon? I don't care about CDMA, as I rooted and used ServiceMode to set the phone to LTE Only.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobboW:
Is the bootloader locked still?

If unlocked, try pushing twrp recovery with adb and install a custom ROM from twrp. If you can do that, you could recover it back to stock.

If bootloader is locked, try adb to reflash stock recovery and install a genuine OS from SD.

You may have messed up the partitioning..

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:
I had the same issue when attempting to update to MM (probably because I stupidly tried flashing the OTA package through TWRP).

You need to get into fastboot mode (power + volume up I think), once you're in there push ADB commands as follows:

*I'm skipping bootloader unlock because I did that long ago, can't remember the process*

-After you have downloaded a stock recovery and the ROM of your choice push the following command: adb flash recovery yourrecovername.img

-When that's done and your ROM is on your SD card in the dload folder, press and hold both volume buttons + power, an EMUI screen will pop up and the device will start updating / restoring.

REMEMBER: Plug the phone out of the PC before you perform the "update", otherwise the progress will get stuck at 5%.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gomulkaaa:
I'm noticing that during many of my calls, I apparently hit the HOLD button accidentally with my cheek. My proximity sensor seems to be working fine, and the screen does turn off appropriately when I hold the phone against my face. I'm assuming that at certain angles enough light gets through to the sensor to turn the screen on, and I accidentally hit the button in the corner. Anyone else have this issue? Is there any way to circumvent this? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] teethgrinder32:
Unfortunately i can't help but i am getting the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gomulkaaa:
I tried applying different dialer apps and they only serve to change the dialer/contact screens, but the default calling screen containing the HOLD button remains unchanged. I found that using Skype as the default dialer fixes this issue since it uses its own dialing/calling screens, but obviously it's not practical to just rely on Skype. So the problem still remains unresolved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gomulkaaa:
As an update, someone on Reddit posted a download link to the Google dialer app here at: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/app-google-dialer-t3323432

This installs a new dialer, which actually provides a new calling screen as well, fixing the main issue. The default dialer is better in my opinion since it opens up the dial pad immediately while this one doesn't, but this is a good option at this point
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LORD19191:
even worst than calls is when you press it while watching youtube vids, i wish there was a lock of some sort cuz the music stops paying all the sudden
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Richology:
It's embarrassing when I put my clients on hold and don't realise until they don't respond to me. The cheek hold doesn't result in any audible sound so you can be talking for 20 seconds with the other end on hold. I love the S7 edge but I'm contemplating sending it back. I'll try the Google dialer mentioned above first though
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] apmos:
Same issue here. I talk on the phone almost 2 hours a day and this is happening at least 1-2 times in every call! Checked my proximity sensor and it's working as it should.

Any workarounds? Maybe someone can edit the phone.apk and remove this stupid button or disable it? I am against rooting but I will definitely root my phone if there's a fix for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Andehh:
Damn, I suffer exactly the same issue! Found this googling for ideas...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gomulkaaa:
Very old thread, but I just wanted to give a suggestion to others with the same issue. I really love the Google Phone dialer app, which actually replaces the calling screen during calls with this app's own screen, so you no longer have the Hold button at such an unfortunate location. If you do choose Google's app, I recommend this specific version: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-release/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-android-apk-download/

The caller-ID function by Google actually works with this version, whereas the other .apk files floating around do not have this function working properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] robot1000:
I'm having the same issue and I've installed the Google phone, however as soon as I place the call, the existing on-screen options pop up.

The option to disable the default phone app is greyed out in settings, so unsure on how to resolve.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dmm5157:
Finally searched for the answer to this today, after several accidental holds on work calls.

The solution above with Google Phone APK worked for me. I just went to SETTINGS - APPLICATIONS - DEFAULT APPLICATIONS and then under Calling App near the top, changed it from Contacts to Phone. . For some reason, I cannot open the phone app itself (gives an error message) but calls do use the phone app rather than Samsung stock dialer.
