[Q] Defy cannot detect SIM and memory card. - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi dudes. Bought lately Defy with strang issue. When I put into the slots SD and SIM cards the phone cannot detect it. Only emergency calls allowed.
Mentioned cards are 100% works as I took them from another, fully working Defy. This is red lense,
System: Blur_Version.0.0.1.MB525-nightly.T-Mobile.en.US.
Firmware: 2.1-update1.
Baseband: 3gsmepu93a_u.93.00.2bi
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected]+1
BPflex: GM1CP1250JORDAN250AA031
Just wonder if someone faced such an issue before and what would be a solution. Simply before I go for service I`m trying find out if this is a hardware or software problem. Another problem is existing software. Despite Eclair firmware I cannot upgrade it to Froyo or Ginger.
Each attempt(ex:JRDNEM_U3_2.21.1_SIGNED_USAJORDANTMGB_P030_A012_M001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf, JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED.sbf, JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED.sbf, ) ends with Pass on RSD lite, but black screen and only option is return to Eclair.
I`ll be gratefull for any usefull suggestions.

Wipe data from stock recovery.

Thx for reply.
Obviously data and cache wiped prior each flash attempt so this is not a solution in this case.

Have you tried a sbf with higher group code?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

Thanks for reply again
Yes I can. Gingerbread SBF`s works. I just flash shadow_2.3.4-134_DFP-10. Phone is boot up but sadly SIM and memory card are still unrecognised. and I can`t do nothing except emergency phone call
It may suggest that the phone has a hardware issue. Can anyone recommend a good (I mean good quality and not too expensive) service in the UK (London)

This might be obvious but you have used baseband switcher? Though on the whole I think you are right in saying that its an hardware issue. No clue on UK providers
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

Hi, I wish to check - change baseband, but only SBF which allow me to get to settings not contains such feature like baseband switcher and I cant install any aplications as it required memory card, which is not recognised by phone
So I`m in deep sh...t. Visit to service seems to be only option, but thanks for your reply and advice.
Ps. I found what baseband is switched on my phone. This is 3gsmepu93a_u_93.00.2bi
Can anyone confirm that`s correct baseband for UK, please?

Baseband switcher is cwm flashable,so you've got no worries there. I have no clue if its the right baseband

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.

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.

CM7 FXP30 Data?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get the data to work on the latest version of CM7? Everything else works apart from data.
There is No APN's and if I try to enter the details manually I cant save the apn.

I have the same problem. everything works, except data: (

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app
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.

What? Didn't you change IMEI after full flash? You have to change your imei to correct one.
I want to change imei sir but i dont know how . did u know how to?
Whaterever you do don't install any room that needs repartitioning.
If you start playing with partitions you phone will never be the same and the chances of losing the IMEI are like 99%.
YOu can restore the IMEI with 5eirom tool but its not the same and everytime you downgrade or upgrade IMEI will be lost again.
DO NOT REPARTITION YOUR PHONE. no matter what other might say to you.
I you want a stable rom with all function working and without issues, I'm afraid only stock Froyo.
After thousands of rom flashes and twice my phone went to repare dure to lost IMEI I have again IMEI issues and phone is like ****.
Theres no rom like stock froyos for our phone.
If you really want a fully working ICS or JB consider changing phone.
This is my honest oppinion and the BEST advice someone can give you. Now its up to you!

I din't quite understand what you meant.
Anyway, downgrading to stock froyo its easy.
If you repartition before, you need to revert to stock partition and then copy the dload folder to the internal SD (very important, must be internal SD)
I would suggest this, is your phone still on guarantee?
If yes just do what I mention above, then upgrade to any stock GB and if the IMEI is 0 take it to repair.
When comes back, the do whatever you like but never repartition again.
Repartitioning is the stupidest thing anyone can do to the phone and who advise it should clearly warn the risks as the biggest one is losing the IMEI.
To correctly restore the IMEI only changing the main board of the device, period!
If you touch the partition of your phone ytou will never be able to restore to REAL AND ORIGINAL stock partition, no matter what anyone tells you.
Please that recommend this should be liable for the damage on the phones as no one, clearly states, that the you will have almost 100% probability of scramble the phone!
Twice got the phone repaired under guarantee now guarantee is over and I have this completely messed up.
Been there, done that....3 times!! So when I tell you this my friend, is with experience and awarness not because I have heard other talking.

I have pink screen can you restore my IMEI on stock GB?
Tell me how to do it becuase everytime I try to do it crashes the rom and I have to start all process of downgrading upgrading.
PLease note that I'm on this for a while so I have a little experience
Also, both times that went for repair, it cam with a complete new interior (board) and obviously new IMEI.
If there is a simple way of restoring the IMEI why don't the technicians of Huawei do it?
Or They have a thing for spending money is changing the hardware?
The second time I speciafically asked not to chnage the hardware and respective IMEI as I would have to again pay for an unlock code. They sent a reply saying the IMEI is saved on Factory and when lost it cannot be restored again. The only solution to correctly do it is by change the board for a new one, and by this you will also get a new IMEI.

So saying that I will say this: I came from stock to CM wiping Factory Reset and data/cache only and I used Odin for rootint the device....no problems at all, runs like a charm...
MY ISSUE #1: A couple of auto-updates ago (via Rom Manager), I start to notice that the radio bars (telephony signal, mobile internet signal bars) were from 1 to 2 bars in places I always get full bars (I live on a 7th floor with excelent signal at Mexico City). I searched on the forums (XDA developers and here) and it seems that ROOTED DEVICES SHOW THE REAL SIGNAL PROVIDED BY THE CAREER---->can someone confirm this? Is my phone showing the real signal strenght?, eventhough, keep reading to see that low signal bars are only the beginning...
So as i said, I didnt worry pretty much, because if the bars are little low, but i have a good quality service, who cares? but the REAL PROBLEM appears when another update came and when Im trying to use my mobile internet (4g or 3G, doesnt matter) the signal cuts exactly at the moment of loading a page or any info....it as happened with almost all apps (specially Facebook, Waze and Google Maps)
It happens as follows:
1.- Open any app, like Dolphin browser or Firefox
2.- Page starts to load info (LTE showing download and upload state)
3.- LTE-3G or whatever, shuts down (I see only the telephony signal bars and there is no internet signal)
4.- Wait few seconds, LTE-3G whatever is back...have to try again and agin until LTE remains steady (sometimes it wont until I reboot)
ISUE #2- DURING CALLS:
- Sometimes people cant hear me, but I can hear them...restart the phone and the issue fixes it self...buts is very annoying to restart my phone every single time somebody calls me and they cant hear me
I dont know what to do guys? Shall I wait until final CM10.2 comes to light? Somebody has this bug also? Is this bug part of CM? or there is another app making this rare behaivour...(do you recommend me another ROM for this model of GS4??)
EDIT: I tried to flash the original modem.bin (via ODIN) which is used by my carreer (TELCEL, son of Slim AKA "The richest man on Babylon :silly: is the company´s name). So until now, I can tell that in my first attempts of opening pages or facebook, the randomly LTE turning off-on continues...I will keep testing with this "orginal" flashed modem....

It's defiinitely a modem issue. You can flash new modems and try. (backup efs before doing so, actually if you dont already have one - do it before now and save yourself some grief)
If that's not fixing the issues...
I'd backup what you need and start fresh. It would be the easiest way to resolve all your issues. Maybe even try a different kernel set for your region and phone.
Kies has a useful firmware recovery option that sets you back to stock.
The Kies will use your model number and serial to get you your stock firmware and reset you back. Id wipe all data under settings then do it. After its done, do another factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for that advice, i guess Im going to do all that if a new kernel doesnt fix the issue (I havent found any kernel for my region which supports Android 4.3, only 4.2.2, and someone told me is not correct to install such a kernel). Good day to you!

So after done all the "back to stock" steps, I still get this questions:
1.- Would I still be ROOT but with stock firmware (Touchwiz) and cool features originally made for Samsung GS4? (such as air gestures, etc etc)
2.- If im "unrooted" by the steps described in your link, can I upgrade to 4.3???
Thanks you are so kind!
Check out GoldenEye ROM or MDOB ROM in the development forum. They are extremely stable, super fast, tw and excellent battery life. CM is awesome, but is seriously way to flawed for our S4's right now to use for day to day life.

Thanks. I successfully installed stock Rom (Touch Wiz) and the signal has been impecable (full vars and excellent internet speed). I have to say that stock Rom is faster than CM in its current state I'm having a better experience right now ( and didn't had the time to explore all the Samsung apps in their depth) thanks again for your kind help!!!

You're having that issue on either GoldenEye or MDOB or factory?
Man, I decided to return to full stock rom...LTE in perfect shape now...dont know what happened...i flashed with odin the exact version indicated in forums for making only the root without the custom rom or recovery...even that soft rooting is making my modem going crazy...i prefer stay this way until someone releases a decent full version for a GS4 SGH-I337m thanks guys
Did you try one of iB4STiD's ROMs? They work perfectly. CM is just way to full of bugs.

How did you go mine still up the creek I have tried everything possible that I have been advised thanks to a kind senior member I am writing down all the evil things I did to my device to hopefully be able to fix whatever I did because no amount of flashing using ODIN or KIES reset works there seems to be something missing from my fone I just wish I knew I started disliking it

Well I just went back to original stock firm ware via Kies, and now the radio signal issues are gone!! CM 10.2 didn't work well for me as the stock rom is now working in my phone. Something tells me that some times it's better to just rooting (for enjoying cool apps as Greenify) and not installing custom Roms (because all this kernel carnival is just to much, and appart of all we have to install radio firmware? Just no!)
