HELP!! My Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Is Showing Emergency Calls Only Even With SIM In by theboss01(m): 7:31pm On Dec 28, 2023
My Samsung Galaxy note 9 started displaying "Emergency calls only" even when my sim is inside the phone and detected. I can't make or receive calls or connect to the Internet. I've done factory reset, airplane toggle on and off. Nothing has changed. Please who is experiencing same and any idea on what to do?

Put the sim card in another phone to check whether the sim card is not damaged.

Put a sim card of another network in the phone, your network might be the problem.

The rooting you unrooted is the cause of your problem. You've to have it rooted but no support for Samsung Pass, or better still check xda for forked custom roms with rootless access & samspass support. E don cast...na Pluto phone you hold so.

Re: HELP!! My Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Is Showing Emergency Calls Only Even With SIM In by theboss01(m): 4:30pm On Dec 29, 2023
Mind you guys, It was working fine as at Sunday. The thing just started malfunctioning on Christmas day. I can't remember what I did exactly
Re: HELP!! My Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Is Showing Emergency Calls Only Even With SIM In by theboss01(m): 4:32pm On Dec 29, 2023
Could it be a problem with the phone's network IC?

have you tried to use another SIM in the phone? If no, try it and let's see if it recognizes the SIM. Preferably, use a different network. Also, see if changing your network band in settings will resolve it.

Check whether the imei number has not been tweaked. There is an app for that. If the imei number can't be found, then it has been tweaked. Flashing or factory resetting such phones is a big risk, the mobile network thing becomes compromised. It's emergency call you will be seeing after the flashing.
Or use *#06# and screenshot the number displayed on the screen. I will help you check the validity of the imei number. If we can't verify the number, I think the phone is gone.

I think the IMEI has been tweaked before because the final assembly codes of the two imeis are not the same, which is not just normal. I believe for a dual sim phone, only the two last digits of the two IMEIs are different. But in this case, both are totally dissimilar
Re: HELP!! My Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Is Showing Emergency Calls Only Even With SIM In by Incredible128: 11:14am On Jan 01
May not be so, mine has different digits for the last 8 numbers
