Mobile Data connection doesn't work.

Hey all, I've got a few problems with my SGS I'd like to share:
- As per the title, I have an issue with mobile internet (2G/3G). I have my APN set up correctly, and the data connection does work. BUT if I use an application like QuickSettings to turn off "Mobile Data (APN)" then try to switch is back on it will not work. I have tried the suggestion to use flight mode for a while and back on but that doesn't always work. I noticed that when my mobile data does start working, the wifi icon is usually turned ON (which I had turned off).
Another issue is with the WiFi. It can sometimes turn on by itself, even though it doesn't connect to a network. Plus, there are times that the icon is stuck at "turning off Wifi". Any suggestions?
- Galaxy S GT-I9000 (uk version),
- One-Click Lag Fix
- Rooted
- using QuickSettings
- WiFi sleep policy set to "Never"

i read all of the above, but you did not mention which ROM you were in.
i read about some ROMs doing exctly those things you are trying to fix
best way is to load a newer more stable stock ROM

Apologies, I am a noob
Using 2.1 update1
kernel 2.6.29
I'm sorry, I don't even know how to find which ROM I'm using. I'm pretty sure it's the default Samsung ROM with latest update since Kies keeps telling me there's no update available. If that info is not enough please let me know how to find out which rom I'm using, thanks!

try this instead
*#1234# display phones current firmware

ok, so apparently I have:
PDA: I9000XXJF3
PHONE: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000XAJF3
No idea what that means but there you go!

yup, that's way too old
definitely upgrade to something newer
do you have Kies installed?
if you hook up your phone to Kies it should tell you that there is a new ROM available

OK, finally managed to set up Kies in a way that it detects my phone in Kies mode...and it says there's not update available!
Eitherway, I Odin to flash to JM8 (official i think) and now the mobile data problem is gone...It feels like the phone is working a bit faster aswell. Thanks!

Same problem of zeusalmighty, but I have frojo rom updated from kies.

[Q] HELP!!!! note 3 bootloop

Hello everyone,
i am fairly new to the world of rooting and recently encountered a problem while flashing a rom
i have the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 N-900A running 4.3 jellybean (2 year contract expired and i got and used the unlock code)
i rooted the phone using the kingo root app, because i could not update the phone (I recently moved out of the USA so i cant connect to an at&t server to update)
i installed safestrap recovery 3.71 and it was running fine
i found a tutorial from galaxy note 3 root for the knoxraid ro
(put youtube. c o m here) /watch?v=8HDHt4xSnQY
according to the tutorial i had to install the rom over the stock rom file
so i copied the stock rom to rom slot 1
this is where i messed up, i installed the knoxraid rom over the stock rom without wiping/data factory reset first. But it gets worse, i realized i forgot to wipe the data from safestrap so before the install was even halfway completed, i pulled the battery out.
now whenever i turn it on it will go straight to recovery mode
it wont even turn off. i have to pull the battery out.
i can get to download mode and recovery mode but thats it.
im not sure about the build number because it wont boot up
all i can tell you is it is a at&t note 3 running 4.3 jellybean
please help if you can
btw: my computer wont recognize the phone because it says the PHONE does not have the correct drivers installed
however odin still recognizes it with the blue box with 0:[COM6] if that helps
so yeah please help me the phone is fairly new and i dont want to waste $600

[Q] LG G2 d802 completely ruined...help!

Hi all, hope you can help me. I've tried searching on the internet but no-one seems to be having any problems like mine. and my phone is now near enough bricked.
So i bought a LG G2 D802 from aliexpress, all working fine but no 4g lte option for some reason. Had a look around and seems updating to stock europe rom would have sorted this so i thought id do this.
So Updated the rom using flashtool2014, downloaded lg usb drivers, the europe rom D80220D_00 and lgmobile support tool. Went through the process and it all ran fine with no errors completed 100%and then said done pressed exit and disconnected phone.
Now, switched phone on . Straight away touch completely messed up click on the screen and different parts keep of the screen keep clicking. Eventually after 15mins managed to get out of the startup where it asks for wifi settings etc so i could try to factory reset. No luck even out of startup have not yet managed to get to the screen for usb debugging yet due to random screen clicking (keeps opening other apps, screens).
I cannot rerun the flashtool as i cannot enable usb debugging or even switch away from charge only to pc softwarw and it just says phone not connected on the flashtool and keeps ending.
Switched off by holding power button for long time. Holding down the down button and power does nothing just keeps restarting when i eventually let go.
Also sim is in phone but it says service disabled?
Any ideas how i can fix the phone! All was working fine before I did the europe rom update
Thanks
Jon

You can connect a mouse via otg and navigate to usb debug

Maybe try factory reset and just use mobile support tool update stock rom?

I eventually managed to select lg software as connection mode and flashed to another firmware but exact same issue again.
After trying for ages and opening the wrong thing again and again i managed to get to the screen in settings to click 5 times to enable developer options however now the screen just freezes and then you get a message saying settings has stopped working and phone locks up. This has happened 3 times since. Doesnt seem like anyway to get it sorted if i cant enable usb debugging.
Also it seems to be that the firmware change has erased the imei and that is what is causing all these problems. I found one site that details how to restore but once again you need usb debugging enabled.

Droidview has the page where you have to backup and restore imei, i dont have a backup so will need method 2. If i can get usb debugging enabled that is!

thanks for all the help, lg on screen just didn't work for some reason wouldn't connect to the phone. Was thinking about a otg cable but after an hour of clicking again and again I managed to get the developer options and usb debugging enabled.
I went through the procedure at droidview to restore imei using qpst but after finding the com port it says no phone detected so theres nothing more I can do, looks like I just have to accept this brand new brick lol.
Anybody know anywhere in London that does repairs like this, I have tried a couple of shops in London Victoria near work but they couldn't do anything. Apparently theres something called an octoplus/octopus box that can fix LG G2 imei or flash firmware.
Thanks again for everyones suggestions. .

Jon-jay, I have the same issue. I tried the "easy" kdz flash and tot flash and basically bricked my phone. The phone turns on but the screen is calibrated incorrectly like you describe so I can't click anything without trying over and over. I click one area of the screen and another is activated. I can pull down the notification pane but can't click anything in there. The phone is in a boot loop too if I don't touch it. I also want to turn on USB debugging so I could try to restore with adb or fastboot. I will let you know if I find anything.

Yeah very tricky to fix this phone after flashing. Ive flashed loads of lg phones with the flash tool and never any problems until now. Ive currently sent to a shop in south wimbledon who quoted me £50-£80 for repair if he could fix it. I dropped it off on mon and still no response so im not holding my breath. It seems this phone will be going to the recyclers if he cant do anything.:crying:

Check out the thread lg g2 is unbrickable now, it involves shorting a couple capacitors to unbrick but its ingeneious. I bet itll help you out.
.::.LG G2 D803.::.
.::.CLOUDYFLEX 2.7.::.

the plot gets thicker...
okay so it has been a few months now and I revisited the phone sitting around. This is how I got on:
I gave the phone to shops in London, no-one could fix it got it back first week of Jan. So I thought I'd retry myself.
One guy told me that the imei may be for D802 but the screen and insides of the phone is a d800 model.
That makes sense as the touch works erratically. This was a refurbished phone I bought from aliexpress which claimed to be a EUR D802 but after I took the back cover off it says D800\d801\d803 inside on a lot of the flex connections and at the bottom of the plastic it says d800. I downloaded the AT&T stock rom and flashed with octoplus - touch worked perfectly! but phone kept restarting itself and looping really badly so I put in download mode and went back to D802 uk firmware - and touch not working again.
(Prior to this I bought the octopus box also in the hopes that restoring the imei I had previously lost will somehow be related to the screen.
This worked in restoring imei only and I have restored the d802 imei with octopus box)
Anyhow I then flashed stock uk firmware on the phone so everything in the phone works perfectly fine except the touch! so I am controlling touch with otg cable and mouse.
my next thought was install a d800 custom rom it will fix the touch! Now I then rooted, and installed d802 autorec.apk. I came on xda and downloaded a d800 stock custom rom (D80020k) from the AT&T subsection and thought I'd install this through twrp. All though the custom rom says successful when I reboot it comes to fastboot mode again. so I then go about restoring the stock d802 firmware. I installed d800 autorec.apk but that too send to fastboot mode.
So I am lost. Everything working perfect except the touch. Any ideas anyone? Im hoping some one says there is a stock lg custom rom that has all the screen settings for d800/01/02/03 which will sort my problem!
What it seems is the chinese company selling the refurb has somehow managed to get a d802 imei on a d800/01/03 not entirely sure how this is possible either!

What they're doing is flashing a d802 system.img with otherwise d800/01/03 firmware.

I saw a thread in the T-Mobile G2 area saying to get d802 on your d800/d801 you just flash a custom d802 rom and then a d800/801 kernel but this causes my phone to go back to fastboot...still lost! the custom rom works fine itself (Except for touch again!)

There is a way to get them back to their original frankenphone state but it's quite a procedure. Flash d802 firmware. Use a otg usb mouse to navigate since it'll have touch issues. Root and install custom recovery using the actual hardware as your guide to which twrp version to install. D800 in your case. Do a nandroid backup. Move the nand backup to your pc for safe keeping. Now install d800 firmware using a hex edited tot to allow it to proceed and a generic dll to avoid cross dll issue. Root, install twrp again. Move twrp backup from pc to phone. Do a restore but only restore the system.img. Now you have firmware that cooperates with d800 hardware while appearing and acting like a d802 in every other way.
The other thought I had but have not tested yet would be to flash d800 firmware right off the bat, then root and install twrp. Then use dd to flash system.img to it's partition ( /dev/block/mmcblk0p34 ). I'm not sure how that would work due to the very large size of the system image. You'd have to extract it from the kdz. Because it's so large when it's extracted, it does it in parts so it must be merged back together to make one file. But if it did work, it'd save the step of having to root/recovery twice on two separate firmwares.

[Q] ATT S4 4.4.2 WiFi not working - Please Help

Hey, I have a Galaxy S4 that I recently bought. It was rooted on 4.4.2, but the wifi was not working. I just used Odin and flashed the 4.4.2 stock rom onto it. That worked, and now the phone is on stock, and it looks like the root is gone. The issue is, the wifi still doesn't work. The light is light-green from the notifications bar, and when I press on, it stays gray, and goes to off in around 15-20 seconds. I have tried to:
-Restart
-Factory reset
-Remove battery when phone is still on
- Turn power saver off/on via *#0011#
- Delete Wcf CONFIG file (not sure if right name) from the root explorer /data/etc/misc/wifi when it was still rooted
I really appreciate you reading this and trying to help me. I bought this phone last weekend to gift to someone for their birthday (on Monday), and it will make a horrible gift if there is no wifi.
I'm thinking the issue has to be: either the Modem is missing, and wasn't included in the flash of the original stock rom, and now I need to flash that also, but I don't know where to get that for my model.
The second thing I can think of is that it is a hardware issue, but I don't think that's the issue. I've heard of a lot of people having the same type of problem when rooting, but they usually get it fixed by one of the steps mentioned above.
Phone info:
Model: SGH i337
Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: I337UCUFNB1
Kernel: 3.4.9-505595
[email protected] #1
Build: KOT49H.I337UCUFNB1
I really appreciate it.

If you flashed the nb1 tar with Odin, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149, Wi-Fi should be working. If it isn't it probably is hardware. You will lose root flashing the stock firmware so that's normal.

Oh ok. I was afraid it might end up being hardware. Thanks for confirming.

4) allow KIES to download the firmware
5) place phone in ODIN mode/Emergency Download Mode (hold VOL DWN and HOME while powering on ) then plug in phone to computer via USB
6) allow KIES to send image to phone. Have some ice cream and egg rolls and do not touch anything.
7) PROFIT! After the phone restarts, it will take you through initial set up (like when you bought it)

This what worked for me. Try this at your own risk .
I tried the stock rom listed here through Odin and I was not able to get back into my device because of the
FRP Lock. FRP Lock Binary Message , would not let any of the roms boot onto my device from Odin and I tried a lot of different solutions. This is the only thing that worked for me .
I downloaded Kies 3.
I installed it .
I put my device into download mode ( I did not connect it yet )
Kies wil tell you that your device is not compatible with the software .
Knowing that Tmobile software would be close enough I decided to give this a try. (Some people have bricked their phones trying to run t-mobile software through odin, this is running through kies is different, it worked for me.)
In Kies I then went to where it said Tools,
I selected the option that says "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.
Its going to ask you for the model number and the serial number.
I won't go into details of how I got it but use the MN: SM-G530T1 - Serial Number: R28GA0EJ6FZ
Its a public serial number
Then from there it ask you to hook up your device,
Once you hook up your device you can continue with the install.
Make sure that you are taking the battery all the way out before putting the device in download mode. In my opinion this may be the best way to make sure it works.
Please let me know if this works for anyone. Thank all of you that helped me and gave me advice to get my phone restored . I hope that this helps everyone who has this issue.
One things for sure . This will make me never want to buy a metro device again especially if there devices aren't supported by samsung.
I'll try my best to answer any questions anyone might have. I'm really hoping that this will help all who have that nasty FRP LOCK

I setup my brothers phone with Kingroot like 2 weeks ago, then randomly yesterday this crap happens. This security feature is ridiculous. A warning, I can understand but this thing is borked.
Using the stock cable and connecting it to the laptop at the error screen, as well as at the bootloader. In both instances, the phone started charging, but wasn't detected by the PC.

The prog keeps saying the s/n isn't correct. Not sure what to do now. .

I did the same thing and everything works fine EXCEPT multimedia messages. From there as far as I've learned its just trial and error with access point names. Which in the grand scheme of things isn't that bad considering the run around I had to go thru before I found xda forums. Metro told me to file a claim and get a new phone, insurance provider said no and sent me to Samsung, Samsung said no sent me best buy, best buy was going to follow directions noted above except the serial number for the firmware was 1 digit off (I'm assuming they were skeptical about flashing tmobile firmware which I understand but they let me figure that one out on my own). Thank you XDA.

Sooo...how many and which ports have you tried on your PCs? Sammys are finnacky sometimes with USB ports. On my PC, only 1 port will detect ANY Samsung devices in Download Mode but the others work fine with every other device. Try all your ports, preferably USB 2.0 and on the back of your computer. Ones on the front don't usually have enough power for anything other than file transfers.
Just a suggestion from experience

So I bought my son a Galaxy Grand Prime and he said that he was playing some racing game on the phone. He then put the phone on the charger and now there is a message that says Custom Binary Block by FRP. I tried downloading Kies 3 but it is not allowing me to do anything with the phone. Nothing happened so I don't know if I did it correctly. I also took the phone to Samsung and they basically said that the phone is no good. like I am not understanding why this can't be fixed even by Samsung. Some one please help!!!

I do that but it says the S/N its incorrect when its not

Yeah, the kies repair works. You may have to try it a couple times. Just check out this video. Nothing will happen. When you connect your phone to PC until you put it in download mode

Oh also, after putting it in download mode it will give you a message saying something like "custom software can cause problems are you sure you want to proceed?". Click yes and proceed, then your phone will connect to the computer.
Just follow the directions and have Kies installed first.

You need a computer to run keis or Odin so that you can reflash your firmware
