First tell us what country your phone is. What program you used to flash. And what did you flash. BTU you can use if the flash is OXM. It could be you used the wrong firmware.Flashed my S8 with:

From Samobile but my phone get telling me " Phone not allowed. If I search for network I keep getting error. For some reason and maybe a few second the phone connected once because I got the voicemail updated but if trying to call I get error. I tried to reset network and all the procvess expalined on the web but nothing. Also I get not registered on network warning.
Do I need to flash with a different version or different country to make it work?
Thanks

Comination and firmaware were download from sammobile website.
When flashed I used the file CSC instead of Home CSC to have a proper clean up.
Do I need to flash again with a different firmware?
Can anyone help suggesting appropriate combination and firmware detail to avoid further abortive work.
Thanks

Yours is BTU so it must be the right firmware. May be something went wrong flashing. Your phone is unlocked?
There is newer firmware: New firmware for Samsung S8 has version number PDA G950FXXU4CRJ5 and CSC G950FOXM4CRJ3. Try to flash this one.
I'm getting the doubt if the phone is locked or unlocked as was bough second hand but decided to clean up and install new firmware because battery was not lasting long.
How can I understand if the phone is unlocked and get rid of this issue before flashing the phone?
Many thanks for your help.
I really appreciate
I don't think your phone is locked. If so I can't help you. You can find it in another XDA forum, I presume.
Read the first posts of this forum. Henk explains what you need and what steps you had to take to flash new firmware. First place check if your phone is Samsung S8 SM-G950F.
Good luck.
The phone is for sure SM-G950F . I double checked several times.
I done some research but didn`t find out how to check if the phone is locked or unlocked.
I only found out if the phone is locked should ask for a pin code but I assume this was only happening with the original firmware. Once the phone has been flashed with a BTU firmware not sure if the phone keep asking for a code.
I have now noticed the phone has got a MM warning on top right hand side and keep saying phone not allowed. What is that?
