Changing the IMEI is prohibited.
So the easiest way for you is change to another SIM (from another network). In another network your IMEI may be not blocked.

Refurbished and China seems Frankestein.
If it's a Frankenstein as Joku1981 suggests, run, don't walk, and get your money back.

what can i do now please help me. i upload pic about samsung info.
It's clearly not a Frankenstein, so that's good news. What carrier are you using?
In the first pic at the last line you can read imei cert:NA that mean that your phone has loose its imei certificat.
so you can return it and have your money back or give it to a sepecialized shop to push a new certificat with a box
PS: i have an i9500 and mine show : Imei cert: fail
@sentinelle20: "IMEI Certi: NA" is normal on the S4. I can confirm this because my S4 has the same readout and yet it works perfectly. On the S5 it may make a difference. See here for details.
Ok ggod to know...
in my working i9500 the last line says imei cert : pass

yes my sim work,s fine in any phone , i tried many sim in my phone but result is same. please tell me why some time phone work properly ? do you think its a hardware problem? because i upgrade its room many time but same result.
If you've tried multiple SIM cards in the S4 and all of them aren't working, then you definitely have a hardware issue. Either the SIM card tray has died or the fault lies in the motherboard. From experience, replacing the SIM card tray is both the least expensive route and the easiest, being something that you can do yourself. Replacement trays cost about US$10, a small phillips screwdriver, a half hour of your time, and the foam pad that sits on top of the connector of the original tray.
You purchased this as a refurb unit however, so you should have a warranty of some sort. Take it back to where you got it from and have them look at it.
I recently shifted from iOS to this amazing phone just a day back. I saw my friend having this phone and bought it the next day a few hours before my flight in India. I am now in Vietnam and tried inserting the sim card it went on to ask me for a Unlock Code. I removed the sim and put it back on my old phone, after finding out about the Network Lock by Samsung. My Question is can I have any alternative methods than the 5 minute call from the country purchased in ? I am not going back to India for another 6 months and would be so sad to see this phone not being my primary phone
Hope you amazing people out there can guide me on this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you for the Reply. I tried flashing (Good thing is half the bloatware is removed now) but still no luck with the network unlock. When I enter my local sim card it still asks for a Netowrk Unlock Code.
How about this suggestion: Order an Indian pre-paid sim card, one that also allows you to make international calls. Put that in your phone, and make a call for 5 minutes. If I remember correctly, the sticker on the box doesn't say that you actually have to make the 5-minute call in the country of purchase. It only says you need to make the call with a sim card of the country of purchase (I don't have the sticker anymore, so I could be wrong).
Hello all!
I bought the Samsung S7 phone in unlocked condition from eBay in US. Then I had to move to India for work related purposes and I was able to use the phone using an Indian sim. The phone developed charging issues and it was not charging. So I had to send it to US where Samsung changed the motherboard. Now, I received the phone which is working but it shows invalid sim if I put any Indian sim. It seems Samsung have restored the phone to original settings which is locked to Sprint network. Samsung tells me to contact Sprint. While Sprint says that they need the account details or confirmation from the person who bought the phone from Sprint. The eBay account from which I got the phone does not exist anymore.
I think I need to unlock the phone so that I can use other sim in India. Could anyone suggest what could be done here?
Thanks!

Had some conversations with both of my sim providers and they told me that it's not from their end or either my sim 1 imei got locked to a network . I dont understand how that can happen since it's unlocked .
Thank you .

Hi
I had this the other day
Phone was an upgrade someone sold to a shop turned out he reported that he lost his phone and instead of just blocking his number they blocked the imei of my phone to. Took 3 days to get it unblocked shop had to contact him to call EE to to do it
Yes the imei is blocked someone must have reported the phone stolen or lost. U need to contact the shop u buy it from
