I5800 that cannot receive or make calls

My friend has got a Samsung I5800 Apollo (Galaxy 3) which he claims it cannot make or receive calls. He asked me what might be wrong with it. I'm not saying its lost or stolen but why else would it not work? Only other thing could possibly when it was unlocked to networks the phone imei got messed up? I've seen some phones get all zeros.

i'd suggest unlocking it with superoneclick. if that fails, maybe replace the phone.apk?

Honestly, i think the simplest solution when u have serious prblms like that is to backup all ur data and just flash a new ROM. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kyrillos' ROM v9.5. Hasnt let me down once!

I will probably test that rom out at some point. Thanks

You didn't by any chance restore your system data with TiBa when changing roms?? And not to sound patronising but you can enter recovery mode (if available on your kernel) by pushing Vol Up+Vol Down+Home+Power buttons together and restore factory settings, or download mode to flash from Odin by pushing Vol Down+Home+Power buttons together.

Okay i got the phone today and it was on 2.1. I updated it to AOKP just to test and it installed fine. But the sim card does not get found at all. I tried 2 sim cards that work in my sg2.
If there any place I can check to see if the phone has actually been locked to use?

Sometimes problems like this can be caused by framework-res.apk. Try flashing a custom ROM and see if it works.

If I'm not wrong, AOKP is an ICS ROM, and I'd read that ICS has a bug and don't see the sim card untill you remove the pin.

Wont work without disabling Pin on SIM.

i'm gonna quote the solution i had with the exact same problem when my emei got corrupted:
marcel i found out what was teh problem corrupted EMEI - efs....
i was lucky enough to have a nv_data.bin backed up in my sd from ages ago!
i dowloaded an efs.tar flashed it through odin and then copy nv_data.bin from sd -> /efs and then
chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
i inserted my sim and VOILAAA!!! this is a know problem with cm7 and since someone will get this problem these are the links that will solve the problem:

ROM installs not working.

Ok so I started out with an x5 running an oxygen ROM ( unsure what one as its been awhile) with a full battery.
1. I then went to install the Aurora ICS 2.0.5 after doing all the wipes needed went to load and all i got was a system that fuctioned but not network service and no battery charging and the device showing 1% battery (it was full to start with).
2. I also tried the Elite.SX.Second.Release-FIXED.by.TerraMino.2012-03-29 ROM (all wipes done) just to get the same things happening
also tried to install and older Oxygen ROMs , oxygen 2.2.2 - 2.3.2 all wipes done) but the device didnt boot.
3. So then I tried a stock ROM via the dload method by puting this [11.07.28]_U8800_V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001_(China_Unicom)(also another stock ROM I dont remember which) UPDATE.APP on the SD card (Cant put the UPDATE.APP on to internal memory as it is to large) then went to boot into the "pink screen" but nothing happened (both ROM's). Also tried many methods to try to get it to work.
4. After that I thought I would try Miui Prime v3 - by LegoLaSH (done all wipes and formats needed) once it booted I got no network service and battery at 0% although it is Full before starting. Also no battery charging while device is on.
5. I figured Id try ( althoug I guessed it wouldnt work)to install an Oxygen ROM first then install Elite.SX.Second.Release-FIXED.by.TerraMino.2012-03-29 ROM streight after it without wipes , still the same problems as installing the elite ROM alone.
So now Im here and stuck. Is there no flasher for Hauwei phones? oranother way I can get a ROM on the device? Its not my Phone its my partners.
Also its not the First Phone I have ever installed a custom ROM on although seems to be the hardest.
If any idea or more info needed please post.
thanks alot.

You need to install the official 2.3 rom before installing any of those roms.

Are you sure you put the UPDATE.APP inside the dload folder which is in the root of the sdcard? I never heard of this not working.
I am not sure which files the official 2.3 rom updates, but wouldn't it be possible to copy them from an updated U8800?

I had a freshly formated SD card with no other files or folders and I had the UPDATE.APP in a folder named dload on the SD card.
Is that not the right way?

You need to update to OFFICIAL 2.3.5 (you were updating to 2.2). You can get it here:http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQzNTg=
This is porbably most repetead sentence in this forum and is also written in every ROM thread. Oygen was working beacuse its .32 kernel and the newer ROMs are .35 kernel and need to update to OFFICIAL 2.3.5 before flashing. If you would search a little you would find it in less than a minute.
Here is guide how to root and install recovery on official 2.3.5:

All the instructions for updating with dload method are in the pdf that is in the zip you downloaded from huawei page.

The UPDATE.APP file is only around 300 megs so will easily fit on your internal 2Gb memory so sounds like your trying to copy it to the pink screen memory which is wrong!

If you had read my post properly you would see I already know. thanks for you unhelpful post.
Also the Huawei link is giving me an Service Temporarily Unavailable message , and has since the other day , if you can upload it somewhere or anybody , I can download it then.

I think the problem is that he has a custom partition layout for the internal emmc, that needs to be reset to the default before installing the update.

Do I use the return-to-stock partition file or the 1.2G DATA + 1.46G INTERNAL SD file? Thanks

Ok I have tried both return-to-stock partition and 1.2G DATA + 1.46G INTERNAL SD file , I still cant get the internal SD to show on 2 computers.
I really hve no idea now.

The same problem after installing Aurora. Installed 2.3 first. Now can't install official update, just a pinkscreen, nothing happens. All custom ROMs easily installs with CWM.

Dzo is probably right about the partition layout of your internal mmc. But probably you cannot fix it with geno's method. I would suggest you to check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579366
Also it seems to me that you have the imei=0 problem when you updated from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 (no network - battery 1% or 0% are common problems)
And try not to flash different kernel based roms without upgrading/downgrading to the appropriate kernel, as this probably has damaged your phone.
Hope that helps

[Q]

Hi everybody,
After I got an imei 0 problem I heard that I need to send it to my local servis and they write it back with no money. But here comes the big problem. I need the original firmware on it but I can't install it. Every time I tried I get install faild warning. I know how to install it. My phone can install every rom with cwm but with the dload I can't. After volume +, - and power combination the installation begins but after 25-30 % it stops. I tried it also in internal sd and external sd.Both doesn't work. Please help me so I can install the firmware and send it to rewrite my imei back.

Have you tried different officials, b518, b522, b526 or b528 if the files are corrupted on your version. Or maybe try old froyo versions.

U8800 Problems Updating to Aurora 4.0 from Oxygen

Hi,
Have looked around the forum trying to find similar threads, however haven't found anything quite the same. I have been trying to update to Aurora from Oxygen and had got to the stage where I erased all phone and sd card data and then copied the "dload" folder containing "Update.app" inside it to the sd card. I then powered off the phone and then turned it back on whilst holding power,volume + and Volume - . The update starts and then around 10 seconds in a message comes up saying that the update has failed. I do not know what the problem is, any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Put dload of official 2.3 in hwuserdata/internal sdcard
Then update
Also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion, however the same thing is still happening

try remove battery and plug the usb cable... then start the upgrade...
when it starts u can choose to put your battery wich a recomend or try to do it without plug again the battery...
perhaps it will work...
hope i helped

try this way.
INstall any stock 2.2 (froyo) the same way by putting the dload folder in the inmternal SD.
After install is complete install the stock 2.3 on top using the same procedure.

Note that you have to have a stock partition table too. Make sure you restore the default partition table:

[Q] U8800-51 CR GB Read-Only Mass Storage and wrong IMEI

Well, Hi!
A little history before the real problem.
My girlfriend bought a U8800-51 phone by my recommendations, because it's a great phone in this range of prices.
The phone had a problem. It reboot many times in a day (10~20 times) So I decided to upgrade the OS to GB with the gingermovida v1.1 ROM.
The phone stopped in the bootanimation secuence. I tried 5 times with the same result.
I downloaded the official 2.2.2 ROM from the Huawei website and put it in the SD card. I turned on the phone in download mode and started the install secuence. But stopped in the 2/2 step with the "Update Failed" message.
I tried to enter in recovery mode without success, with 5 different "recovery.img" files. In a thread in this forum somebody explained a method to back to stock froyo ROM using a .img file and the Roadkil's Disk Image tool, but with a AT&T img file.
My brother has the same phone so i made a backup of his phone and put it in my girlfriend phone. Everything works great! Boot OS and load all the information, 3G work and USB Mass storage work, so I did a wipe data - factory reset and everyrhing works again.
At this point I discovered that the IMEI is the same of my brother's phone. I tried many different tricks or tutorials (QPST, CDMA Tool, DFS, AT Command in Terminal, etc) and nothing changed. In the last try I upgraded the OS using CM7 movida v2 and 3G works, WiFi works, but I still have the same IMEI and a new problem came out. When I plug the USB cable and activate the Mass Storage Mode, only shows a Read Only CD drive with all SD Card files.
In the stock froyo ROM I went to the "Project Menu" and changed the USB options, but I can't remember in what option I leave it. In this ROM (CM7 movida v2) i can't go to this menu and check if I have the same Stock ROM configuration.
Besides, I didn't backed up my GF'S IMEI. So I don't know if it can be recovered.
She's gonna kill me, so I need a little help ASAP!
That's all. So here's the thing:
- I have the same IMEI of my brother's phone.
- Everything works except for the Read-Only Mass Storage Mode.
P.S: I don't know if the different driver that I installed affect something here.

Try to upgrade your phone, puting dload folder on sdcard, maybe it can fix your IMEI. About the mounting, I dont know what is happening, but maybe if you upgrade your OS, it will work fine..

What ROM can I use? The Official Huawei ROM (Movilnet U8800-51) didn't work (to solve the IMEI problem) If I try to downgrade using that ROM the phone stop in the 2 step and then I will need to do everything again.

What about B565? You can download it here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyMTU=
And I also found this topic, there is a user who says the solution so check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513439

Well, that ROM is for PRO version of the U8800 phone and I have the U8800-51 version. Baseband and other thing are different between versions. I will try the steps of your link when my girlfriend let me try again

Sorry, my mistake :/
I dont own a u8800 51 but the software isnt the same as u8800?

No, unfortunately, like I said: Baseband and other tiny thing are differents :crying:

-.-" Wait a bit, maybe someone will help you

Do you have any sort of backup from where you were when the phone worked correctly?

that's why I don't share backup. The fw on the -51 is tightly locked. I'm surprised they allowed pink screen. Your better off going for warranty. Unless, you can open the background password. I'll look for an alternative fix.
