hi,
So here's the situation. I have a Galaxy s gt-i9000m
the phone has been working great up until now...it was running stock 2.2 (rooted)...and two days ago i decided to reset my device and erase everything on it, and start anew...so after doing a factory reset, the phone was working perfectly, as it should...it worked fine yesterday too...so today i installed two apps, UNO and HD wallpapers...and after installing these two apps, my phone stopped picking up any carrier signal...so i tried restarting and still no signal. so i uninstalled the apps but still nothing...then i tried a factory hard reset, and still no signal...when the phone starts, it just says contact your cellular provider...ive tried 2 different SIM cards, and the same thing happens...the sim cards are fine, i tried them in a different phone and they work...
The phone has been unlocked, and was being used in Pakistan (on the Carrier Ufone)...
any help as to whats going on or how to fix it would be awesome...
thanks!
Have you tried flashing a different modem in Odin yet?
Also make sure your APN settings are correct in settings too...

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,
If your SIM is from telstra, than don't use optus or other networks
you can try the ROM and CSC file form link i posted earlier

xsenman,
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 ?

Also could happen, IF SIM card is inserted the wrong way, cleaning the SIM contacts , using any Odin will do or try using another SIM card

You're right.
Problem solved. Amazingly the I9000 doesn't stop you from putting the SIM card in the wrong way round.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I recently encountered a very strange issue.
G935W8
My phone started to lose cellular service over the weekend, and now with the SIM card, it says phone is out of service.
If you search for network, it does not work either.
I tried the following:
1. Using a different SIM Card with the same carrier, it won't work.
2. My SIM card works at the other phone.
3. Tried to reflash the whole phone with Odin, and it did not work.
I am suspecting the Baseband is broken, but I tried to flash different Odin firmwares, and non works.
I sent it to a local repair center and they said it could be the root destroys the motherboard which I am a bit skeptical.
Please provide me some advice if possible.
