try to check , is yr imei is stiil there

or try to flash a new rom

or yr imei is already taken by somebody, as u know now it is very easy to write the imei to the phone. or try to write a new imei to yr phone.

Can always factory reset the phone as well. Could be some problem there.

Do you know what kind of phone it is? Any details you could give would be helpful. It's possible that your friend bought a phone that simply doesn't have the hardware to support T-Mobile's networks.
