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:

Hi! :crying:
I had the bad idea to use this software (EFS by BORIS.X.1 ) and I didn't see the warning at the END of the presentation of the soft...
I clicked on "backup EFS". The phone reboots straight away. (I thought it was maybe normal).
I clicked on "backup NVRAM". The phone reboots again.
Actually, since that, my phone is almost dead. I could boot but after a few second I got a reboot. --> bootloop.
I did a hard reset via the Android recovery. I reflashed my VEGA ROM (packed with the other missing files from the original stock ROM, so I guess it's full wipe anyway).
I did it many times. Nothing changed. On the top of that I can not access to my WIFI, 3G, on voice (SIM NOT FOUND).
I don't know what to do anymore. I have a MI7 rooter 0x0 phone and I would like to keep it so!!
Please help me since I just bought that phone and spent all the day before to manage the URDLV properly.
:angel: Merry Christmas and thank you in advance! :highfive:

Your EFS is corrupted by the sounds of it, can you check settings > general > about device and see if your baseband says "Unknown"? If so then...
Only guarantee to unbrick and get your baseband back properly (without EFS back up) is using a custom recovery (tripping KNOX) and using This - used it myself and it does work - But it only works on the N9005
Aside from that, I'm not 100% sure myself without an EFS backup as to how to fix..Good luck

Thank you. Yes, I know that tip but, before making that step, I want to be sure this is only the EFS :
That's the thing! I can't use my phone and access to the menu "state of the phone". It always reboots before. I have also a error message telling "the process SYSTEM doesn't respond. Do you want to terminate it ?" And most of my softs just crash, even contact. I can't dial on my phone!!
Can we say it's only a EFS problem ? In which proportion the soft I used would have damage my phone ??
Thanks

Yup sounds like an EFS issue, mine done the same with System not responding - I flashed the .zip in custom recovery and it fixed it straight away.

I was messing around with custom kernels, constant rebooting every 60seconds. Managed to check my baseband which said unknown, so went into TWRP and flashed the EFS fix and it booted straight up, baseband back, 3G signal etc
The good thing would be to get an adaptation of this script for Odin !!
i had the efs issue yesterday, exactly as described.
was playing with custom kernels, phone suddenly rebooted and baseband was gone.
i restored mine from a twrp backup.

Unless we learn more about what that program was trying to do (presumably from the author of the program?) the only other FACT that we know is that writing a custom recovery is GUARANTEED to trip your knox flag; just writing your original Samsung ROM has a good chance to NOT trip knox; if you apply the first then you can never try the 2nd and keep knox, while if you apply the 2nd method and it does not work you still can use the 2nd or something else.

To have some script that can be written in Odin would be nice - as long as it does not trip knox. Something which might be a little more complex than it sounds.
Well Asansam can do it with just a rooted device, no need for custom recovery.
So find one with an Asansam box, and just run the "Restore PB" command.

Summary: my I9505 mic, earpiece and speaker don't seem to work and cause fc/not responding on functions that use them (phone), what should I do to resolve? (I have flashed a bunch of ROMs, and a couple modems...).
Detail:
Ok, so firstly I must apologise for not recalling the somewhat random sequence of events which has brought me to this juncture... I was fiddling around with a few different ROMs and when I noticed the problem I sort of frantically tried flashing things to fix it (yes, I'm aware this is a very sensible approach )
I've flashed a few different ROMs and at some point flashed a new modem.
I noticed yesterday that I was not getting any sounds out of my phone, noticed when using the volume buttons, no beep; further investigation revealed the speaker, earpiece and microphone seem to have decided to take an indefinite nap...
Any suggestions on how to proceed with waking them up?!
There is a message in the logcat:
getDeviceForStrategy() speaker device not found
Though not sure if this helps at all.
Making/receiving phonecalls the screen goes black and either rings out to voicemail before I can answer, then displays not responding wait/close error or the other person answers and neither side can hear then same not responding error.
I've not changed the bootloader (as far as I'm aware...).
Wifi/mobile internet work fine.
Tried flashing an old modem, factory resetting, reflashing a ROM (currently CM10.2) but no dice... since I'm a bit lost I figured stop fiddling and ask for help
Current baseband: I9505ZHUAME3
Current bootloader: I9505ZHUBMF4
Any suggestions on how to proceed to un-screw my phone would be greatly appreciated. :good:

Flashing a wrong LTE/Wifi fix will loose your sound . in Old bootloader you can't flash any newer LTE modem than UBMH1.and for the New bootloader you can flash all the new LTE modems, including MKF etc.. So boot your phone into download mode and check if you have an entry of knox warranty void then you have newbootloader. and make sure you manually turn off your phone and wait atleast 10 sec and boot your phone into download mode and flash . (Because sometimes flashing a modem/lte doesnt work and need to do it twice.
Use Odin
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Power+Voldown)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

Im still in oldbootloader and i just download and flash a custom rom 4.4.2 via recovery .. and incase something wrong with my phone in a future . iE Hardware related.etc theni can just flash a 4.2.2 and send it for repair for free... and about newbootloader , flashing any custom rom/rooting will triggered your knox , so feel free to flash the latest stock 4.4.2 kitkat if you dont care about your Warranty. But like i said you can still flash a 4.4.2 custom rom without flashing a newbootloader (Never flash a newbootloader , Make sure to ask first before flashing anything) Have a nice day.
Edited: @mrlizard123 Never flash a latest Wifi fix so you wont get this problem again. only flash a GSM MODEM. if your flashing a custom 4.4.2 rom then you need to flash a latest GSM MODEM base from your country. in order to fix dropping signal issue when the phone went to sleep.

I have tried all the option to protect my phone but always freeze and sd unmount... so I can set only swipe to unlock or the "nothing" option...
Anyone can help me?

you need to update to latest bootloader and modem.. at your own risk as i am not sure if it can be downgraded or not
but i have come across similar issues when using newer roms on older versions of bootloader and modem and the pin lock does not work
before doing anything make sure you have ur brick image, backup of ur rom, and efs partitions,
and as i said do it at your own risk..
are you rooted ? knox ??

@vyrus973 so whats now buggy then? The 0 folder is actually not a big deal, I had it also from custom roms. Is the modem still unknown? Could your efs partition maybe bad?
If its really an hardware issue non fixable then I would send it to LG if its not your fault. But if its an easy to fix software issue then I would try to fix it myself.
Could you explain more about your issue.

the bug is that he dont start the service, he does not even try to read my sim card, still no connection, and he self restarts like a loop, so i cant even use it really long time, sometimes he gets connection but even than with really bad signal, when i put on fly mode and return back he does not connect more, even the data connectivity than does not work, since i flashed the optimus v3 rom, i tried each kdz for my phone but no one did really fix it, sometimes at the first runtime it function and than after restart still buggy aaaaa its make me crazy, actually i am using a 6inches big china phone and that cant be a permanent solution.

@vyrus973 ahh okay, if you flashed back to stock and removed root temper flag then you should be okay. If you live in europe then it didnt matter that you had rooted your phone I thought. But your download mode said unrooted so the temper flag got resetted.
