Strange behaviour. Yesterday the phone worked correctly (on jellyblast rom and savie kernel). Today stopped to go ("emergency calls only"). So I tried every type of wipe (/cache /date /dalvik), to fix the permissions, to flash a stock rom with odin (from this forum) and finally to change the rom (I tested creed... I think I'll keep, if the phone works). To reset the APNs and to to install ITV CSCs (after stock installation). Nothing. Everything else seems to work. Also if i put another SIM into the phone (Wind IT e TIM sims work). It could be a carrier problem? (it's a virtual carrier under Vodafone IT). I'm trying a nandroid (which carries a bit of dead bodies of flashes)

its a sim card problem. visit your dealer and get it replaced
Have patience brother. Might be a network problem only. Try going to flight mode then deactivate again.

I hope fix the network soon (however is strange that the SIM WORKS in a nokia 1112 lol). In any case I've to talk with the revendor (postal office).
It's very probably is a sim problem... Neither the airplane mode seems to work...
*edit*
Yesterday, in android setting I saw Vodafone IT -79dBm signal (correct?); today I saw TIM IT (is not my carrier), -73dBm (edge only but doesn't work)
I noticed a strange other thing... I haven't /csc folder with ITV (maybe due nandroid with no EU-Rom). I'm trying to re-put in it (by other nandroid) and /efs is empty (never caused problems, however), and I today I'll go to ask sim replacement (as other works)
*RE-EDIT*
Nope. I replaced SIM. Still happens... Works on another phone but not on mine. Another SIM of another operator WORKS. So I'm trying another one firmware (XXLK3_XEULL1_XXLK3) that seems to be the most near to my phone default.. we'll see...
Still doesn't work =( Same problems
....maybe with a Vodafone only CSCs?
I don't know what to try (If won't work I'll change operator..again) =(

Ok, I'll try.....
Tried already with several stock firmwares (with correct csc). Nothing..
A strange thing is how the cell is recognized on google play/Kies: it says Vodafone GT-5360 and doesn't work with Vodafone or Tim (but works perfectly on Wind) ..... but it's an unbranded phone and however worked with other operators....
*edit*
I haven't anything in /efs (don't know If I used to have something in it) but phone still "works", and my imei is the same on the box (so nothing of illegal, I hope). I need a tool for that? Can interfere with mobile signal?
Galaxy toolbox generated a file of 1024kb named efspart.img.save (doesn't open) which I've restored... (?)
Now, when phone starts, I sees an android.phone stopped to work..... Can be useful to push it from adb; how? (I read something about it somewhere on xda, but I want to be sure it's useful to do it)
I noticed another strange habit.
When I'm covered by 3G (WCDMA?) phone works well (I've wifi, data, network operator); when I'm not, as is locked on WCMDA only (why?), I can't phone (emergency call) but the data packets still works (so isn't a network problem, it is?); I can't select in phone info (dialer mode) the GSM Auto(PRL) which seems to be 2g preferred (I think I'd resolve setting this).
There's a manual configuration to force the parameter? Now I'm on stock rom and stock kernel, but the signal fly away sometimes
thats a provider maybe

i'm on the same problem here ...
I tried the 272 code, and it shows me that I have a ZTA vendor code available, and an option to 'install it'. the phone reboots, clean the cache and resets. may be an rewrite on the CSC sector. question is: my SIM is ok, and my phone started to behave just as described.
I'm trying to figure out here too.

Nope, it's the only operator which works with the phone (maybe damaged but out of warranty), no sim problems in other phones both in 2g and 3g; csc already done; but it goes in wcdma preferred (i want force gms auto but I can't select it in dialer mode... only wcdma and unknown) and 3g data connections works with emergency call mode(??)

Now I'm on stock rom (odexed) and kuro kernel (which works on stock), the issue doesn't happen often now ... (When happens, I've to disable radio and then switch from 3g preferred (I can't choose 2g preferred) or 2g only (if I'm on it) and then re-enable radio. In worst case (very rare, NOW) I've to reboot.
Now, seems to works the sim which didn't work when I made the topic (great step ahead ^^)

I'm new to flashing custom roms and what not. I used odin and flashed everything to the point, csc, modem,pda,pit the rom works awesome but i cannot for the life of me connect to the internet. the 3g icon or h icon wont' show up. in the status it says my network type is gprs and i'm roaming and my mobile network state is disconnected.
I'm with fido, the phone is unlocked i have never had trouble with data or anything until i flashed to a custom rom.
Anyone have the same problem or suggest how to fix?
Data Conn. Issue
Hey mate,
Have you gone into 'Settings', 'Wireless and Networks', 'Mobile Networks' and then 'APN settings' and entered your appropriate settings?
That should fix it if you define the correct access point.
Alex
hey man, yeah i did all that stuff, went in there, found my carrier, put in all the apn settings i can find and still nothing. when i put data roaming on then i get data and the edge icon comes up.
Hey dude,
That sounds strange, flashing custom (or even release) roms is never a guarantee especially with weaknesses in the way that ODIN communicates with your phone, What I would do is Re-Flash your stock rom through ODIN then use the "quick" install method from Darkyy.
I am running 5.6 like you, and I had issues doing it through odin (I kept getting random FC's), additionally, the rom; if installed from CWM will keep your apns and apps e.t.c. along with many settings and configs from the base rom you're using before the flash.
That is the best advice I can give you.
Alex
My config is a follows:
I9000 International
16gb SDHC
500HZ Hardcore Kernel
Darkyy 5.6
Whats the process for reverting back to stock 2.1 eclair rom?
Did you keep a record of your firmware version before reflashing?
If not, you may have to ask someone on here what your base firmware was.
Are you familiar with using ODIN? (The software used for reflashing)
Alex
I am having same issue to...I used 5.4 from Darky and it works well...same with DocRom 4.0 works and the next 5.1/6.0 don't work.
Both Darkys and DocRom are based some JPX....which seem to be root cause..
I've have the same problem. Tried eveything but still didn't work. So went to Samsung Service Centre to have my SGS firmware refresh. I notice after the refreshed same issue of data com missing. Told them and they when into the SGS to select the telco operator setting selection. Now data com. working well. Anyone know the SGS handset setting code? I want to reload to Darky's v5.6 again.
hi folks
i have the same problem... my provider is a virtual provider in the network of our biggest provider here in austria. i was using doc's rom based on xwjpa firmeware and everything worked fine without enabled roaming options.
since doc's rom is based on the newer releases (xxjpx, xxjpy) i' only able to use data connection if i turn on roaming. it also shows me that i'm in a roaming network. i guess the cause are the xx firmwares. xw and xx are european firmwares but i do not know the differences between them. maybe someone has more information about the differences? currently i'm using xwjpa firmware because i don't want to use my phone with enabled roaming options.
hey um i'm having the same problem and thought replying here would be better than starting a new thread.
well i installed the rom without having any idea of what i was doing *stupid idea* so i didn't take note of my original firmware.
i didn't use odin to install the rom just clockwork recovery and the rom and everything installed fine except my data network. i can get signal, call, receive the only problem is i get no data transfer. any help much appreciated. if anything can someone help me step by step to reboot my phone to original?
just for future travellers
Sadly this isn't my own gem, but yeah. hold the power button down, wait for the shutdown menu, above the airplane mode there is a data network button, and it'll most likely say "de-activated" if nothing else has worked. Its ok to feel like a chump, I did after rehashing the hell out of this phone for a few days ( the wifes phone, my phone does exactly what its told. )
Anyway, yeah, this will probably be the reason for the lack of the icon "G", "3G" or "H" where it should be.

Hey, last night I managed to install cyanogenmod 7.1 on my GT-I9000M. The purpose of this was to root the phone, so that I could SIM unlock it. I ran the free unlocker app by helroz, and it didn't make any complaints, so assume it worked.
As you'd know, the GT-I9000M variant is from Canada, but I live in Australia (Bought it off a friend). I tried putting my SIM card into it, and it does tell me my carrier (Telstra), but the reception bars remain greyed out, with a little x up the top.
When I try make voice calls, it says "Mobile network not available".
Does this mean the phone is still SIM locked, or could I be doing something else wrong? Is there a way to check if it's still SIM locked?
I have taken a few screenshots that may help:

Hi, thanks for the reply
I'm trying to do that now, through Odin. I put the .tar.md5 file into Phone, and went to flash it, but it failed. It seems odd that the file has 2 extensions, is there something i need to do to it first? (Most modem files I've seen have been .bin files?)
EDIT: Nevermind, managed to get it to flash. However, now the phone won't pick up my carrier at all, and baseband version is Unknown?
Regards,
Dan
Maybe try to flash it in recovery mode?
Here's one for CWM.
View attachment Modem_KG3.zip
*ignore this post*
Bell i9000m by default is 850 or 1900mhz , try to change it to 900 or 1800.
Dial *#2263# and in GSM menu choose either of em.
Dialing *#2263# doesn't seem to do anything
I've installed the new modem you linked me, it still says "Telstra", however still no reception apparently (I know I do get reception in this room, and the baseband version seems to be the same)

Dan
Same thing happened to me I had used the wrong version of cwm to install the rom. All I did is reinstall with the cwm that the rom had installed itself and everything worked fine .

I just tried reinstalling cyanogenmod from it's own CWM, but still have the same issue.
Just looking at the phone now, it seems the signal strength is always on -111dBm and 1asu, doesn't change.

Sorry the sane fix didnt work for you .I moved to darkysrom myself because of so many missing features in cyanogennod like the tv out feature.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Yea, I'm wondering whether the radio hardware itself might be broken. It always shows no service with this SIM, no matter which modem version I use, which firmware etc. Signal strength always shows -111dBm 1asu and that's about it.
Flash a GB firmware with pit and repartition, I think that you need to do that when flashing back from CM firmwares, then see if the device functions properly.
Check if the IMEI-number is not changed, if it's not changed and the device still can't detect the SIM-card then try executing on Terminal Manager (from Market) or using ADB (su and busybox must be installed on your device):
su
busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
reboot

Click to collapse
Click to expand...

If the device detects the SIM-card but the device gets no reception then flash a modem that supports a different band, UGKG3 for I9000M supports 850MHz and the modems for I9000 supports 900MHz out of the box.
The idea is to try to narrow the problem down to 1 point, you need to know which modem you need and you also need to know that your device is not defect, doing that using CM is not the proper way, use stock firmware to avoid possible bugs in CM, and you don't need to flash to Froyo in order to flash CM, you can do it from GB by flashing a Kernel with CWM support and you are good to go.
Good luck
Hi, thanks for the detailed reply.
I've just flashed back to the stock GB 2.3.3 firmware, however I'm having trouble figuring out how to install su?
With the stock firmware, it doesn't even tell me my carrier anymore, and just says "No service".

Dan
I've got an unlocked Australian (Telstra) Samsung Galaxy S i9000T that I've been using on the Optus network (with Amaysim).
I've run numerous stock and custom ROMs and recently backed up the /efs folder (using: "tar -czf /sdcard/Download/blah.tar.gz efs") after some scares with boot loops while trying to load a new Devil kernel with my TeamNYX RC5 Android 4.0.4 ICS ROM.
With these custom ROMs the phone identifies itself as an i9000 (instead of i9000T that it showed with the Telstra FROYO.JP8 ROM).
The other day the airplane mode became unavailable and I lost the mobile network.
I've tried going back to the original ROM (got it with Check Fus) and done factory resets etc but I still get emergency calls only.
I've tried swapping sims and my sim works in the other phone but no sim will work in my phone.
I've also reloaded my efs folder but nothing has helped.
I've check the "Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association" web site to see if my IMEI is barred/blocked and it's not.
Does anyone have an idea on how to work out whats going on and what can be done to investigate/fix the problem ?
This forum always had a search function. Web, tapalk or xda app has it.

problem would be due to branded phone, meaning you need a telstra ROM, for it to connect to telstra network.. try this https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=da77fff5eaaed269&id=DA77FFF5EAAED269!296 and its not easy to get one
xsenman,
I'm currently back on the stock Telstra branded ROM (obtained with CheckFus) but with the same problem.
Also, I'm not trying to connect to the Telstra network. I just trying to use Amaysim (via Optus) that has always worked before.
I'm guessing it's one of three problems:
- Corrupted EFS (but my IMEI is correct)
- A block that the Australian data base doesn't know about
- An actual hardware problem
I've tried a lot of things including have the phone re-create /efs and then I put the imei folder back.
I'm wondering how to track down the cause. I.e. is there a way to examine logs of why not able to get on the network?

O-T,
I've read that thread. That was how I backed up my /efs before this problem.
I was never able to get the /dev/block/st13 though and just have the efs folder.

If your IMEI, is correct, it is not an EFS problem, but has to do with network settings, try menu> settings> wireless & Networks>mobile settings,

My sim is from Amaysim and worked before with the stock Telstra ROM that I've gone back to now. I've not tried your ROM as it looks like to be the stock one I'm using.
I can't access the "mobile networks" settings as the phone doesn't think I've got a sim installed at all.
It looks like a hardware problem.
Could this be a boot loader / radio mismatch ?
Also, is there any reason to not always use the latest version of Odin I have ?

Hi guys been searching all day when I can grab some free WiFi, basically I rooted my s4 gti9505 with auto root and then installed custom recovery, and flashed PAC rom. I'm unable to make calls or receive mobile data but can use WiFi. My settings say baseband unknown .. I'll attach a picture of my settings here in this thread. I have attempted to flash a modem/radio in Odin but this didn't seem to make any difference, the problem is I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do (didn't make a back up of my phone foolishly before flashing PAC rom)
I'd appreciate any help with this guys! My network is vodaphone UK if that makes any difference to any advice given...
Thanks in advance!

did you put modem in "phone" in odin?
hmmm weird! i guess your imei is not corrupted, sometimes while flashing rom in cwm, efs partition is not detected, so flashing modem twice should work
you can try with an other modem, use new one (but im sure to flash it twice)
another option is trying to flash your stock firmware

yes put it in "phone" mode, thats the second or third one i have flashed now so im not sure it wont help but for sure ill try again!
are you able to determine that its not corrupted? would it state as such if it were? im going to flash a stock firmware as a last resort. lost after that haha
edit - installed cwm using sgs4 flasher and re-installed my custom rom and gapps, booted no probs and network now working - sorted!! thanks for your help i dont think i would have reflashed the rom without your advice to do so
So I'm practically in the same boat. I'm currently on P.A.C. man nightly 09/18 (Vodafone Germany branded device). I never had similar problems, but now I can't call (or be called) and I'm not able to use mobile data.
I nearly tried everything:
1) I checked the IMEI (saved it before switching over to custom roms), but an IMEI number is still there.
2) Went back to stock to see if it's a problem of P.A.C. man ROMS or not. On stock it didn't work either.
3) Went back to P.A.C. man ROM and flashed modem XXUBMF8 via Odin 3.04 (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025)
4) Flashed the modem again after I flashed the ROM because it didn't work either.
So I'm completely lost now, I really don't know what to do next. I had mobile data for a couple of seconds every now and then, but nothing stable. And since the problem came up (yesterday evening) I can not make any calls at all.
Can someone help me?
Edit: The very strange thing is that I have full reception balks in the notification area (only in grey). But still, I guess this means that the device is somehow able to detect a signal but can not connect to it?
Edit2: I apparently have no Device-ID. May that be a problem?
So I took some screenshots to show you guys my problem a bit better. For some reason my mobile data now works (currently HSPA, but it's extremely slow). But I still can't make any calls (or get called too). =/
Edit: So to sum this up: the strangest thing about this problem is, that even when I go back to full stock I can't make calls. =/ What could be the problem? An IMEI number is present in the settings (althouh the 'IMEI SV' under 'About phone' --> 'Status' was one digit below the current one that I can see under those stats). The whole problem makes me believe that my provider can't sort my phone number to my device (I'm on Vodafone; but if that's really the case: why the hell does mobile data works sometimes?!). The other possibility: something with the modem/radio is broken. Could this be the problem? The thing is that I also tried to flash a custom modem, but the problem is still there...
I'm really concerned that my phone just became an expensive paperweight
Slightly different than my problem in that I didn't even have any bars for reception..my problem was fixed by changing the custom recovery software (originally I used philz to flash PAC), But I flashed cwm and then used this to again flash PAC, and all was good..don't ask my why but it helped me so you might want to try this...

Thank you for your answer!
You also flashed a different modem didn't you? Did this help or was it only the custom recovery? I'm confused because I used CWM before and never had problems. But then this mess all came up...
Yes I flashed several modems, that didn't help..only using a different custom recovery to flash my custom Rom again helped..hope you get sorted!

So I tried to flash PAC with TWRP 2.6.0 (it worked before), but the problem is still there.
I'm really confused. I really don't know what I can do or try to fix this mess... Is there some USSD code or something to find out if my device is missing some ID codes or if the modem is messed up or something?
Edit:
Update: For some reason I now can receive calls/SMS but only when I'm on GPRS speed. Outgoing and ingoing calls are no problem then. When my device is on HSPA or HSPA+ speed however, the old problem of not being able to call or be called is back. On one hand it's good that I'm somehow able to make calls again on the other hand it gets stranger and stranger. I know that it's a bug on PAC man ROMs that you can't change the mobile data speed options (LTE/HSPA/GPRS etc.), but I think that this could be the problem (or at least a part of it)...

Actually I can change the data in my phone between 3G and 2G (don't have LTE support here in my country)
Have you checked your APN? Think that might be a problem.
Also please post the steps you take before flashing PAC (ROM, kernel, recovery, etc)

Within Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode? On PAC? It always crashes when I try to change something there. In the PAC bug post this seems to be a known bug, my mode is also set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. But whenever I enter the settings to change this, only 'LTE' is chosen as option. I don't have LTE on my plan and I read somewhere else that Vodafone has major problems with it's LTE network here in Germany and that it may be better for customers without it to turn it off.
About APN: there is definitely something strange. I can enter the settings and I see three different APNs that were not created by me (they must be the standard carrier ones): they are called Vodafone DE (for Germany), 1und1 (pretty strange because the settings are the very same on this one, only the name is different) and Vodafone DE-MMS.
The strange thing now is that I can't change any value of the Vodafone DE APN... When I go into its settings, everything ia greyed out. This was the same on the stock ROM...
Now when I create a new APN with the correct provider settings (found via Google on the VF homepage), the phone still won't work. When I put the device aside for a few minutes, the Vodafone Deutschland DE APN is the selected APN again although I never went back to it...
Is there some option to take a deeper look into the modem stats to see what's the problem?
Install stock ROM

Mate you should try installing Stock ROM that might help I think !

I tried that already, but it didn't help. Same problem...
I factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik cache and then flashed my Vodafone branded stock ROM via Odin that I had on my device when I got it. Didn't help for some reason... But: should I also try to go back to stock ROM via KIES? I haven't tried this method until now...
Edit: About my flashing method: I went from the stock ROM to rooted (via CF Auto root with Odin). For PAC I then flashed TWRP 2.6.0 and then in recovery factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik and then installed PAC. After that I installed GApps. I used this method before and it worked without any problems...
Edit2: I found this thread, it appears to be the same/a similar problem with the S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805709&page=6
Now is there something similar for the S4? I think I tried calling ##72786# on stock ROM and it didn't work...

Delete the unused APNs.
Do you have mobile data?
Also I asume that you're running the latest vertigo's build, because with me GSM/WCDMA/LTE is always selected.

Sometimes I have mobile data, but only for very limited time; for the majority of time, I don't have mobile data and can not make calls.
I also tried to delete the unused APNs, but still no change =/
I tried to use a different Micro SIM in this device, but the same problem appears. No data, no phone although I have grey reception balks.
any update on this one?!
someone save me please... I've been struggle for two weeks...
I'm using S5-G900F, its a Hongkong version, and I'm currently in UK with giffgaff. last month I tried few new rom and then I can't use voice service any more. However I still have internet. Some detail below:
APN
1. I 100% sure its not an APN problem
IMEI
1. IMEI seems ok, start 4 digit 3524****
SIM card related
1. At first I assume it's a SIM card related problem, I tried 2 SIM with different ISP, neither work.
2. Also, I put those 2 SIM on my iphone4 to verify that the SIM is good, and both card work.
3. I also checked the SIM card cable, I put one piece of paper above the SIM to tight the contact, still doesn't work.
Phone related
1. Before I brought the phone, I had check the bands it supports, and it is capable to used here. And the phone work perfect (well, with stock firmware its really slow) before everything happen.
2. Since I brought this phone in HK and now I'm in UK, I tried to flash both latest UK and HK firmware (lollipop), neither work.
3. I also tried only flash baseband from that two firmware plus one old-version baseband. none work.
4. For those flash mentioned above, I do full wipe.
Rom
The rom I tried list below (in time sequence)
1. XtreStoLite (the BL/baseband is extract from Brazil stock firmware. After that problem occur, but I didn't realize)
2. CM12 (this two are all from this forum)
3. TGY-G900FZHU1BOA1-20150120092320 (HK stock firmware, 5.0. Try to recovery the voice)
4. BTU-G900FXXU1BOB7-20150223084756 (UK stock firmware, 5.0. Still trying)
5. Also 2 baseband/BL from XtreStoLite thread (Another is an old-version. Still).
So now for everyday, I had to carry two phone... one just to make sure I don miss any call.... I have tried and still no clue... really need some help here.... Help please...

Can anyone help me please....
Was the phone service working for you before you tried a new ROM?
I have the same issue. Can't make or recieve calls. Internet is working though.
When you try to call someone, do you get 'call ended' message almost immediately after dialing out?
Also, when you go to phone / settings / additional settings (or more settings) - does the 'network or sim card error' pop up?
Can't figure this out... Hopefully someone would be able to point us to right direction, other than to replace it
And of course I did a factory reset, new roms, modems, everything there is to try. nothing helped
could it be because of Region Locking? Maybe it's locked again after flashing?. I want to buy this phone but I am not sure if it will get region locked again after it gets updated or custom flashed.

Yes, before I flash those ROM everything goes well. I'm currently using CM12 so I don't have the setting you mention. But anyway I never seen that pop message before. I guess the SIM card work good as the phone can connect to the internet (not wifi, cellular internet).
