x10 flashtool 0.2.5, thanks!

seeing as how im new to the forums and i dont have 10 posts yet so i cant post in the developers forum, i'd like to extend my thanks here. i HAD a locked ATT x10 with 1.6. i was concerned about backing up my phone since ATT locked the ericsson backup & restore application. so i found the APK and downloaded it on my laptop, i then sideloaded it with android sdk via adb install and was able to back everything up before hand. i then continued with the flashtool 0.2.5 version and bundled the decrypted 2.1 ROM. i continued with the flash as instructed (including wipe userdata) and i got a flashtool log of:

i tried flashing the first time and noticed the 24/037/2011 10:37:57 - INFO - ### read failed : checksum err!
i turned the phone back on and it restarted with the old 1.6 still intact with no changes. i then proceeded to try the process and second time and I got the same error except this time the flash process took much longer. i thought i bricked my phone as it tried to boot and showed me a picture of a camera and then the SE logo for a long time... i proceeded to wait and VOILA! even with the checksum error 2.1 is loaded and i was able to restore my settings with 2.1 installed. i havent found any errors yet and wifi seems to turn on just fine.. havent found a single problem yet. does anyone know what this checksum error equates to?
but like i said everything seems to work as of now, i have to extend many thanks! i look forward to hopefully a stable 2.3 gingerbread in the future, thank you!

i have however noticed that instead of a "3G" connection i now see an "H", i went into "about phone" and "status" it says its using HSPA... is this bad? i know it stands for high spee packet access but im unsure of the transfers rate between it and 3g...but more importantly...why has it changed after upgrading to 2.1?

i believe "H" is faster then 3g and was just an added feature in 2.1

sure hope so...i wonder if theres a way to switch back if i want to...save battery life.

You can switch to gsm in wireless conections, mobile nets, net mode, and select only gsm (2g), so you can save battery but it is also slower. Sorry if the menu names doesn't match exactly, are translated form spanish version.

"H"
I gotta thank the devs for this tool also. Flashing, rooting, cleaning, optimising everything went fine on mine. What else can you wish for?
The H is totally normal and it is really faster than 3G...there's nothing to worry about

H is for HSPA, as you've figured out. It is what AT&T was installing in 2010 while the other carriers were installing fake 4G. H is for 3.5G.
HSPA+ will be AT&T's first go with 4g, ultimately moving on to LTE. HSPA+ will be a high-speed fallback network for when AT&T fails to provide adequate data coverage. Neither of those will likely run on the X10, so the H is our last upgrade of that nature.

i know theres gotta be some high level gee wiz bang developer from either Sony or AT&T that can tell us whether or not the X10's transceiver will be able to run HSPA+ or LTE; whether it requires a software upgrade or not.

[MYSTERY] Unlocked SGS can't make calls

I recently bought a second-hand SGS, supposedly locked to 3. The firmware was from 3 UK, but when I punched in *#7465625# it showed all locks are OFF.
Hot for tasty Froyo, first thing i did was to upgrade from the branded Eclair ROM the phone came with to an unbranded stock Froyo ROM. Kies gave me a hard time so I used ODIN. Then I inserted my SIM and realized I could not make calls or even register on my GSM network. (Had not tried the SIM before, so I don't know if the flash caused this)
I found out that the flash had changed my Product Code to KOR, but I managed to change it using THIS GUIDE. However, the step "rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5" did not work as it was write/read protected. After reboot, the SIM didn't work so I did the "busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin". The procedure changed the Pcode to H3G, which I think is the original code, although I was going for XEE.
IMEI has not changed (*#06# gets same no. as is printed below battery)
I live in Sweden, my present CSC is XEE, Product Code is H3G. Network Control Key is 00000000, could this be related?
I considering doing the Product Code change procedure again and see if I can change it too XEE hoping that will fix it, but I'm not even sure this is related to my problem.
Other than that, I'm running out of ideas. However, I'm new to the SGS scene. I'm reaching out for someone with more experience to give me some new ideas.
I've spent hours and hours at this and I've googled like possessed. If I'm being a noob or have overlooked something, let me know - just tell me what I should do to fix this phone.

Go into Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks and check that Network Mode reads as auto mode. Then open Access Points Names and check that APNs are listed that suit your carrier.
If all of that checks out, go into an app like SGS Tools and use the secret code to check Band Selection.

Thanks for your reply!
I have inserted APN for data. Though, is this really necessary just for 2G calls and SMS?
When I choose "Select Automatically" in Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile Networks/Network Operators then I sometimes get "Registered on network". Then, when trying to call, I get "Data network not available". Band Selection (from SGS Tools secret codes) show:
= BAND SELECTION =
[1] AUTOMATIC []
[2] WSCDMA BAND []
[3] GSM BAND []
[4] COMBI BANDS []
When I select the network operator manually, I get "Unable to select network. Select automatically".

An alternative Go to Rom Kitchen build a rom with
XWJS8 > Hardcore Kernel >CSC CPW > Modem JPY and whatever else you require that should give all UK main networks .

I got Data Network not available when I was investigating my phone (that is, messing about) and changed my Network Mode. Go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Network Mode and choose GSM/WCDMA Auto mode. If you don't have connection, then try first GSM Only, then WCDMA Only...then back to both.
And yes, you need to have a data network connection to make calls. Not sure why. Must be something to do with billing.

I would hate to be right but are you sure, as you've bought it second hand, that it hasn't been registered as stolen? Do you know any history of the phone?

Product code should be GT-I9000HKDXXX, where XXX should be your CSC which is XEE that makes it: GT-I9000HKDXEE, you should not use H3G at all.

double post...sorry

Thanks, but I would need the Swedish networks. The phone is from UK whereas I live in Sweden and have a Swedish operator (halebop).

Weird, I was sure APN is only required for MMS and Internet, not for calls and SMS. Anyway, I have APN so that's not it.

No, I don't and I can't be 100% sure it's not stolen. However, I have a bill of sale with all his information and I know where he lives so if that's the case, it can be sorted.

I think you are right, and I managed to change it so now both CSC and Product Code reads XEE, which should be correct for Sweden. However, the problem remains the same.

There is a possible solution from HERE, however it seems rather ...old. Having no other ideas I'll try it unless someone comes up with a better idea:
Richthofen said:
Possible problems (I had them all due trying different thing to solve it):
No service.
There is no service even a functional SIM card is inserted.
You cannot receive or make calls, receive or send sms, etc (obviously).
Freeze / lock-down.
The phone will not react to anything besides pressing power key.
You cannot unlock the display to enter PIN code.
Wrong PIN code.
The phone will not accept any PIN code on any SIM (even the correct one ).
Phone displays "wrong PIN code" message even the try counter (three strikes you know) does not change.
Product code changed to KOR.
= Blocked Kies updates (without a registry "hack")
Here is how to fix any or all of them:
Downgrade to I9000XWJM9 firmware with Odin (as usual).
Remove SIM card from the phone (to be able to boot in first place) and start the phone.
Gain root access and install "Root Explorer" (or similar), ADB works too.
Open Root Explorer and go to the "EFS" folder in the root.
Check the date on .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 files.
If it is earlier than 08/26/2010 you´re clear, if it is later then you may stop reading.
Once the date has been checked, select files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 simultaneously and delete (yes, delete) them. Reboot the phone.
Now your phone is in the same condition (atleast permanent memory wise) as it was prior I9000XXJPC update.
There is a safety feature I would call "a dead mans switch".
If the current nv_data files are deleted, the phone will make new nv_data files from the .bak (backup) files (if they excist). The new nv_data files will be signed automatically so they pass the checks (none of the errors listed above will occur). However if they do not excist, the phone will just write an empty / test file (= IMEI corrupted, no service, etc). Also if you just rename .bak files they will have wrong signatures and the same problems will occur.
There is no bootloaders included, so it is safe to flash for everyone.

Have you tried doing a factory reset? May not work but may be worth a try.
Could only be either apn related (doubtful), faulty sim or stolen/lost phone. Unless hardware related.

Thanks, it seems a long shot but I will try it tomorrow.
I've already flashed the phone to XWJM9 with correct CSC folllowing the guide in my previous post. Restoring nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 from the .bak files didn't help, the .bak files were just three days old so the data there might have been contaminated.
As far as I can tell there's either a hardware fault, the phone is stolen, or I've messed up the precious data in /EFS by my first ODIN flash, before I did the back-up. Every guide should have that backup procedure as first step, mine didn't. :'(
I've mailed my operator so hopefully I'll get an answer tomorrow to whether the IMEI is blocked.
"No service" sucks...

[Q] AuroraICS dataconnection problem!

So I have AuroraICS (version 1.11) and everything else is working nice, but no data connection. My service provider is Saunalahti which works in Elisa's network. I have data in roaming on, but nothing. I also tried to add manually Apn-settings but when I press "save" nothing happens, there's only a blank screen. So can someone please help me with this issue?

I have same problem
I have the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957
I read from there, that i should:
Users in Finland on the Saunalahti network need to change a couple of settings for the sim card to load correctly.
download a terminal program such as connectbot and open a local session, then type:
su
setprop persist.opl.enabled 0
setprop persist.pnn.enabled 0
But it didn't help anything. Anyone could help? And i have six years old 'Kolumbus' Sim card, and with 2.2 it worked perfectly.
And also, i didn't flash 2.3 to my Huawei. I flashed straightly from 2.2.1 to 4.03

working now
Thanks a lot! I put these:
setprop persist.opl.enabled 0
setprop persist.pnn.enabled 0
and now it's working, saunalahti internet showed up in apn-settings.

Latest builds are better
As of version 1.10 it seems to work. Version 1.11 has yet another fix for us saunlahti users.

reply
So what is that another fix? or do i need to downgrade to 1.10?

on and off
Sorry, didn't realize you've had 1.11 already. I started with 1.9 and 3g basically wasn't working there. I've upgraded to 1.10 and it started working, pretty much. For much of this week it was running just fine and i was convinced that it was fixed, but today it was off again.
I sure miss all the network data icons 'g' 'e' '3g' 'h' from older roms. And for the record didn't need to set the APN, it got picked up automatically.

Verizon Razr M on T-Mobile

Let me start off by saying I am a noob with these things. I also have searched a few of these forums and found steps by "cellzealot" on how to edit the NV Decimal settings to allow this phone to work on other carriers. I followed these steps and everything went through without any errors but the same issue is happening when I then try to get the phone to work on T-Mobile network. What happens is (after the above mentioned tutorial) I restart the phone, put my T-Mobile sim card in the phone. The phone then states "This SIM card is from an unknown source". In my settings menu under mobile networks In "preffered network type" I can choose Global, LTE/CDMA, or GSM/UMTS and nothing makes a difference. I dont know if it is in-fact unlocked and working and maybe this phone is malfunctioning or maybe I am just missing a step? Some additional info under settings:
About phone>Status>Network = "Unknown", Network type and strength = "No service", Mobile network state = "disconnected", my phone number = "unknown".
System Version: 183.46.15.XT907.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.4.2
Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance, you guys are awesome for your work here.

A510F. Emergency calls only

So my A510F out of nowhere starting doing some weird stuff. When someone tries to call me, the phone instantly goes into emergency calls only mode. Same happens when i try to call someone. I can send text messages, the internet works fine. I tried doing system restore, it didn't help. Also tried flashing a custom rom. I'm still having the same issue. I tested the SIM card in another phone, and the calls go through with no problem. Any help?

Ok... let's start.
RAT Lock to 3G only. The issue persists?
RAT Lock to 2G only. The issue persists?

Use the USSD *#0011# & select sim. The registered PLMN / MCC MNC is the same in the normal state and emergency calls only? Signal strength and quality is OK (includes ec/io?) TCH rx lvl no longer -- with call / any MNO's USSD code on 2G? Any change if the operator is manually searched and selected?
Edit: I'm suggesting 2G/3G because maybe at some time, the CSC was not applied correctly, disabling volte and leaving CSFB. If *#0011# doesn't work the CSC wasn't applied correctly. Was that other phone connected to another cell (different band preference), or did it have volte enabled?

If the 0011 disappears with no response, the ril service mode has been debloated. If the 0011 stays with no response, the CSC was not applied correctly. You could alternatively try to open it with root (am broadcast...) Check logcat -s XMLParser:V, there should normally be at least one that doesn't say file not found.
With that rom you likely have root, to apply CSC copy the content of /system/csc/yourcsc/system/ into /system/.
/system/csc/yourcsc/system/etc merges into /system/etc & /system/csc/yourcsc/system/csc merges into /system/csc
Set the permissions of those files (not folders) to 644(owner read write, group read, other read). After this try volte(4G LTE) if available.
Specifically, it's "yourcsc_keystrings.dat" for 0011. Rename it to sm-a510f_keystrings.dat if it doesn't work. This file from any device or CSC could work.
The 0011 isn't the solution to the problem, unfortunately. But it could help us know what's the cause of it.
Something else: (backup the efs in case you accidentally select something unintended, or because maybe it's broken on nougat, 9090 is something different and could cause modem bricks, I've used 9900 on a510fd marshmallow) Enable mobile data while the network becomes unavailable, *#9900#, select run cp based log. In /data/log/err, open litmuslog...txt and scroll down. Google those reject cause codes if there are any.
Showing errors specific to calls is at+ceer(create a backup), an at command that could be run with the 'modem serial port' on a PC or on the Exynos device itself with root and with minicom -D /dev/umts_router.
Also, you could try contacting your MNO. It's likely that they will tell you to restart your device but it's worth a try.
You could try a SIM from another MNO.
I've got nothing else.

Emergency call solved in a510fd
Is the 4-file maintenance ROM capable of repairing the network in a model A510FD and can it solve the problem of emergency calls only?
