Loss of data connection ( and buggy phone part)

Hello
i just updated my galaxy s to the leaked 2.3.3 build from a danish 2.2.1 build i tryed reflashing it since i had problems with no data connection and errors in phone part ( though it worked, just a bit buggy) the reflash and repartion that i choose to do since i had voodoo kennel on my phone before did not help either, so now my phone cant use data connection
anyone have any suggestions? maybe it is a common error? i tryed googling and looking a bit but did not see anything.
I really appreciate the help, another thing i would love would be a 2.3.3 build with danish keyboard/speech in it.

Are you saying that you flashed to a phone that was lagfixed .
If so its broke your phone Undo lagfix before flash is rule one .
You will need to flash stock rom using Odin to get a working phone .
jje

Okay but i flashed the version that was out in the forum with Odin, what Rom should i flash to get back to a state where i can flash 2.3.3 with Odin again? and will i need to re partion, i kinda thought that would take care of the laggfix?

I'm not sure what your problem is. Just take the files from the JVK Rom (PDA, Modem, CSC) add a pit file (512.pit or what you want) and select repartition and click start. Don't need to disable lagfix if you do it that way.

Hmm okay the thing is i already did exactly that and still no data connection :S

Maybe i need to flash a kennel without laggfix?

I have now flashed samsung stock kennel for 3.3.3 , i have reflashed 2.2.1 the version i get from my kies in Denmark and everything works in 2.2.1, now i tryed reflashing 2.3.3 and i still got the same problem as before any help would be much appreciated

Sounds like you need to put in your telco specific APN to get data working.

okay sounds like something that might work, where can i find this apn?

where do i find this file?

It's not a file, it's the name/details of a server on your provider's network. If you didn't back up your original firmware, you'll probably have to call your network or check their website.
Word to the wise - reposting the same question after 7 minutes won't win you too many friends
Danish 2.3.3 keyboard - best to wait until the Nordic firmware is released/leaked.

Thanks the VPN from my network provider solved it!
btw i did not repost any question it was not the same question and i only posted course i was still in doubt.
again thank you all, properly never would have throught of VPN Settings by myself

No problem, glad you sorted it out.

i9000 with ICS problems.

Guys,
I've been using an SGS, followed by an SGS 2 and have always used custom ROMs without any issues in the past. I have recently traded the SGS 2 with a friend for my old blu-ray player and an old SGS. Long story, won't go into why.
No matter which build of ICS I am using, I am getting serious problems with this phone. SlimICS does not find a signal at all, it just says no service. On the one I am running at the moment (4.0.4 GTi9000_IMM30B_BETA_8_RC) and also with the nightly CyanogenMod builds, if I take or make a phone call, everything is fine. When I next go to make a call, the earpiece does not become active. The data and normal network connection is still active, but this renders the phone almost useless - having to reboot the phone every time I wish to make a phone call takes as long as sending an email for me!
Also, I should be able to choose Tmobile Orange as my network service as I am with T-mobile, who is partnered with Orange to give better signal. On the ROM I currently use, "Tmobile Orange" is not a selectable network.
Is this a problem I can resolve by flashing with a different modem?
If I can't fix this I will probably just run over the phone and buy a Nokia Lumia (change does wonder for a headache!)
Any help is appreciated.

Did you flash a modem after flashing slim? If not they are here

Yes I've actually used the JVU one from it and I also tried using Odin to flash it manually using the modem I am able to get Tmobile Orange with at the moment on Gingerbread - neither work.
Is there a specific modem I need to use in the UK to get this reception?

Go to samfirmware and see which it is under your section. Ex my download is called something like ""XX-KG3. Which means my modem is KG3.

I am getting nothing from the Checker page when I type in the details I have.
Like I said, I know it is JVU firmware I have because I've manually flashed it and it works perfectly, but when I install SlimICS it simply does NOT pick up a signal at all, even if I flash it with a radio seperately afterwards.

No signal
I installed Slim JB yesterday and no signal at all.
I tried JPG and JPU modems from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783 but no avail.
Still no signal. I am going to try with other sims and even other roms to asses my problem.

Is it possible to use Defy+ on Telus Mobility in Canada

Hi,
I just picked up a Defy+ from a wholesaler online. It was supposedly unlocked already but it won't work when I placed my SIM card in it. My card is for Telus Mobility in Canada. Just curious if anyone has had success using the Defy+ on Telus's network. When purchasing the phone I was under the impression that it was just a Defy with bumped OS version and higher CPU clock speed, but essentially the same hardware. Telus previously offered the original Defy so I'm assuming that the Defy+ will work also. Any help/advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
I've also got a similar post on this thread but decided to create my own as well.

Just an incompatible baseband selected. What is the rom version you have on it?

Phone is still stock as it came
Just added a screen shot of the about phone. Haven't flashed any ROMs yet, or even rooted it. I'm waiting to make sure I can use the phone with Telus before I start doing all that to it. In case I need to return it.
I was considering flashing the baseband from this thread to see if it had an effect. Do you have a suggested baseband I should flash, or a suggested thread to follow? I'm no stranger to xda and modding phones, though I'm far from an expert and the Defy+ is completely new to me so I'm still just doing a lot of reading on it before I do anything.
Thanks,
Vic

Still not luck with Telus network
So after trying various Defy root methods I discovered that the old exploits don't work on my phone which has BL7. Found a good thread that handled rooting my device and successfully rooted. Following which I installed a current 2ndinit from this thread and then flashed the latest CM10 nightly. After playing with the baseband switcher and trying everyone I still haven't gotten it to register with Telus. The best I've achieved is finding the network and it failing to register.
Anyone with suggestions on what I should try next?

Still trying to get this device to work with my telus SIM card. Looking for any help to trouble shoot. Would like to start using this device as a second phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you manually entered or checked to see if the APN are correct after booting?

OKay I see it says you that it was supposed to be unlocked but i'm thinking maybe you should get another unlock code and try it. That would be the only other reason i could see it not working other than APN not correct or wrong baseband. Try China ME722.1.10.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give unlocking it another shot tonight. I tried a half dozen baseband settings in cm10 that match the telus bands but no dice. Keep getting an ME error when it did see the telus network. I'll post my efforts tonight.

I've come to the conclusion that getting the Defy+ I purchased to work on Telus isn't possible. At least by me. I confirmed that the device was indeed unlocked by trying it with SIMs from both Rogers and Fido, which both worked. I also tried a Bell card and had the same results I had with my Telus SIM, which was being able to see the network but not connect or use talk or text. This was regardless of the baseband I used.
In the end I just returned the phone back to complete stock and gave the device to a friend on Rogers who needed a new phone badly but couldn't afford an upgrade at this time.

Too late now, but for reference you could have tried flashing a new radio. Worked for me, and also the baseband that works may not necessarily be geographically related to your location. In India the Vodafone France baseband works fine
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

I tried to flash the Telus.zip baseband I found in a thread and it returned an error on each attempt. Flashing any other baseband that matched the frequencies for my network still resulted in a failed network connection. Same results occurred with the Bell SIM I tested with, which is a very similar network to Telus. After checking Telus' compatibility list it clearly stated the Defy+ was not compatible. I still find that strange since as far as I understand it is simply a Red-lens Defy with a larger battery and a more current ROM. I thought for sure if I added the correct frequencies I'd be set. I was mistaken as my repeated attempts have shown.

Interesting. But did you flash an older or newer Radio(not baseband)?
If defy is compatible defy plus has got to be, unless they use some twisted form of imei locking
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

I tried the baseband from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117553
I also tried using the cm10 baseband switcher.
Didn't realize I could flash a radio as well. When I did see and connect to Telus I'd immediately get an ME error and then loose connection to the network. Where would I find radio files?

Isn't it redundant now, since you don't have the phone? Anyways there's a thread called radio fixes or something
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

Not having the device anymore doesn't negate my desire to solve my problem. I might get that phone back or I my decide to pick up another unlocked device that gives me similar problems. I no longer want to sign contacts for discounted devices so I'm always on the look out for good deals on unlocked hardware I can play with. Thanks for the replies.
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

Well since I'm on Telus as well with the red lense defy and I checked gsm arena and a few unlock sites. They all said and indicate that phone can be used on the Telus network. Seeing as its not a phone that Telus originally sold that is why I asked about the apn. Anytime I've ever used an unlocked phone on Telus I've ways had to input the apn.
Other than that sometimes when I flash I don't always get a radio signal for some strange reason. Even changing baseband doesn't solve the problem I usually have to flash another rom and then come back to the one I want or try a different kernel. Either way I'm like you except I never would have gave it away till I solved the problem lol
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

It was more than just a case of setting the apn. I have no problem doing that. In fact that's exactly what I did with the Rogers SIM so that I could test it's data before I let my friend have it. I tried numerous ROMs with it, none of them would allow me to connect to Telus even after choosing an appropriate baseband. Unfortunately because it wasn't a Telus phone to begin with I didn't have a working Telus radio on it. I tried flashing the Telus baseband, it would return an error. I tried flashing the entire Telus ROM, it went into a boot loop as expected. I got it back to it's stock Retail ROM, after rooting that tried a baseband switcher and still wasn't able to see connect to Telus. Though it would see the network. Best luck I had was with CM10 with the Argentina baseband which would connect to Telus until I either tried to call or text. At which point I would get an ME error message and it wouldn't connect again without a reboot. At that point I suspected that maybe this device was being blocked by some sort of IMEI filtering much as thekguy suggested above and gave up on it for now. When my friend does upgrade and returns the phone I might try again for kicks. It was a neat little phone. I'm even tempted to look for a used one that is from Telus...

Please shed some light in the errors you get while flashing the telus baseband
And if you get a boot loop after sbf flash, then wipe data and cache from stock recovery
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

I'll clarify my description of boot loop in the instance of after flashing the Telus froyo stock ROM was actually more of a soft brick. The phone became unresponsive almost immediately after turning on, blank screen, no response to button presses, essentially a brick. The only sign of life was if I pulled the battery while connected to usb the LED light would flash white for a brief second. That gave me the idea to start up an sbf flash until it got to the waiting for device message, at which point I'd plug in usb and install battery and the flash would force it into boot loader before it could go "dead"again. As far as a ROM getting stuck at the boot image, yes I know a quick wipe fixes the boot issue. At least it had for me every time I got into an endless boot process. Had to do it after recovering from the failed Telus ROM flash with the stock Retail ROM.
Thanks for the tip though. I know you are being helpful.
As far as the exact wording of the error message, I'll have to look it up when I'm back at the PC I use for modding an such... Most I can remember is it start with "ME blah blah blah" but I have a note saved with the exact line.
Cheers, Vic

If the telus baseband failed to install via cwm due to cwm incompatibility, you can manually try to copy over the baseband files included in the zip according to the directory structure of the zip
Well, this was my last idea:If this doesn't work
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

Ya, that was the one thing I wish I had tried before giving up on the phone. I'd considered it but wasn't sure if it'd work. When I passed it on it wasn't rooted anymore and I'd invested so much time with getting it back to stock that I had just had enough of it at the moment. Almost regret it. If I get it back any time soon that'll be where I start again.

[Q][i9505] Weak signal after flashing I9505XXUBMEA...

I am in Singapore on Singtel network.
I flashed about 10 days ago the I9505XXUBMEA rom from Sammobile.
Since I flashed I have had very very poor signal (voice : calls not going through or calls dropped and data : close to no data at all) :crying:.
I have a limited experience with flashing roms.
I have checked that it wasn't something related to my network or card by switching the sim back to my GS3. No issue there...
Can someone help me ?

I didnt had any signal problems after flashing it. Im on singtel too btw

Thank you for your fast answer. Did you wipe before or after flashing ?

Try searching and flashing a modem which starts with DX in the general section. Flash it as PHONE on odin. I'm on M1 but have never experienced anything like that.
P.S wrong section to post

Sorry if I posted to the wrong section...

I wasn't flashing the correct modem... Now it flashes but I am still stuck on G for my data...
Any idea?

I don't know if that is really the problem. But XXUBMEA is (i guess) for Germany - Vodafone.
Modemfalsh with Odin failed for me too..
So i used Mobile Odin and "Modem #2". And that did work for me.

I tried many modems with the same result...

I actually OTA to get mea. I flashed it afterwards when i wanted to go back stock from a rom. And yeah i did factory reset

T-Mobile LTE

I am interested in enabling T-Mobile LTE on my N4. Does it work smoothly like any other LTE enabled phone? In my research, I've found that there are two different zip files to flash. Which one has worked best for people? It appears that enabling LTE is a simple flash of the zip file. Am I correct? Thanks.

This has been covered thousands of times. But before this thread gets deleted, let me help you out. LTE on tmobile or att works flawlessly.

Do I need to update the radios after every software update or can I just flash once and forget it?

Since this will get deleted anyways, I will ask the stupid question I have. Bone stock 4.4.2 soon to be rooted with TWRP. Can I flash with a stock ROM and still make a wifi hotspot? I see something about needing init.d support or something like that.
