[Q] No phone/sms, data ok and IMEI ok

Hello,
After searching about 10 pages & search engine i haven't find exactly same problem as mine but i think i'm not the only one who had this problem...
I saw that all guys having same problem as me have an IMEI problem with a file on /efs, which is not my case for the IMEI
Problem : no phone, no sms, all data is OK. is someone calls me it rings busy.
Here's what i tried
- My SIM on another S2 = everything OK, the other S2 sim on my phone gives same problem.
- Many ROMs official or non official (also a release using pit+pda+phone+csc), without solving my problem
- Using the appli GSII_Repair but i can' t download (message appears 2mins after click on install, from PC or from market)
- Phone is operator free and with no signal problem.
- At the moment i just put an official rom (nothing more) with baseband i9100xxki3, kernel 2.6.35.[email protected] #2, Version number gingerbread.xxki3. Network State=Connected, IMEI= same as behind battery, IMEISV=01
I bought the phone to someone living 150km from me and when i wanted to test it...i locked my SIM (and no puk code with me) so i bought it for not having done the 300km for nothing...and i can't use it since a week i'm trying & reading things everywhere on the net but i think here is the best place, great members, great place, and great roms i used on my HD2 before the USB connector broke. The guy to wich i bought the phone kept it a month and have no idea to what has been done the phone
So help needed....Thanks

Have you already tried to do a factory reset?
Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, hold the keys until the recovery menu appears), choose factory reset and then reboot the phone.
If that does not help, you could try to flash a newer stock ROM, such as XWKJ3.
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If that does not help either, it could be a hardware issue.
Hope that it is not.
Good luck !
I already have done both, and i just have done the 2 things again just in cas
Factory reset => still having problem
XWKJ3 => i'm getting permanently a message like com.android.phone crashed, i now remember why i changed for an older ROM
Sounds like flashing many roms syndrome .
Also the no no of using PIT files .
Suggestion
Download full stock rom .
Backup all data .
Go to recovery Mounts and storage Format > Cache System Data > SD Card .
No boot now clean empty phone .
Download mode and via Odin flash stock rom .
Test if still faulty return under warranty .
jje
I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phoneIt just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.

Network Problems after upgrading to ICS

In summary I have upgraded to ICS (Official), but am unable to connect to my carrier network and some of the OS seems missing; If I long press my power button I don't get the device menu, it just turns off.
Full details:
I am on a South African network, and the ROM shipped with my device is I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA. I downloaded two variants of the new ICS ROM from link;XWLP7 & XXLPQ and I downloaded the latest Odin.
From there I followed these instructions:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
On both ROMs, following the PASS message my phone rebooted, and everything starts up perfectly; Applications get installed and so on. Only one big problem, I can not connect to a carrier network (The OS also never prompts me to unlock my SIM card). When I bring down my network menu (swipe down) it says Emergency Calls Only. I then figured I would try and manually select a carrier network, so I went and scanned for networks and selected Vodacom. I then get an error message saying "Error cannot connect". I also don't seem to have access to the menu one gets when holding down the power button, if I hold it down the device shuts down; no silent, power off, etc menu.
This happens with both of the rom variants I have. After trying everything in my limited knowledge I gave up, found and downloaded the old I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA rom. I am now back on that rom and everything is working fine.
I have also tried following these steps: link
Except I restore factory settings and wipe cache before deploying the ROM. I then sought the help of a fellow Droid user from the South African forums, who suggested that I flash onto the old Dutch firmware (GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4). After confirming it worked and I could get onto the network, I took the SIM out and did a proper firmware upgrade via KIES. The upgrade went in without any issue, BUT after the upgrade the problem was still there; no carrier network, no power button menu.
After further fiddling I figured that the OS not asking for my SIM PIN must be one of the causes of my issue, so I went to my settings and turned SIM security off and on. After doing so, suddenly the device hopped onto my carrier network. This did not solve the issue though, as I have to do this after every reboot.
I have checked to ensure my IMEI number is fine, and it is 100%. When I flashed to the XEO version, I could get into the *#272* menu and change my CSC. After doing so, problem was still there.
I am now totally confused as to what on earth could be causing the issue, especially considering other people on the same device with the same carrier seem to be able to flash without hassle - does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas? Come on XDA!
Try checking the efs\imei folder to see if the keystr file is there. If its not, make one with the value 1. Search the q and a forum for more info
Can this be done without rooting my phone?
EDIT: Required rooting. Was the missing "keystr" file in my EFS/IMEI directory (link)

[Q] Lost network after flashing

Hi there!
I know I'm new to here, but not new to android, flashing, etc...
So I recently bought a Galaxy S3 international version (GT-I9300).
I tried to update it's software with KIES, and it stopped on 61%.
KIES tried to flash the newest 4.0.4 (UK) firmware (I9300XXBLG8).
I got the .tar.md5 file out of temporary directory and flashed it manually from ODIN. It booted normally, but i had (have) no network signal. When I turned it on it requested my PIN but when I entered it, the phone doesn't connected to my carrieer's network. My phone is unlocked (checked it with galaxsim), and my IMEI number doesn't changed or corrupted. (Checked under the battery). I live in Hungary and my carrieer is T-Mobile. Tried hard reset, wipe.
Can anybody please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
Tom
Hi Tom ,
it happened that I had a bit of a similar problem before ( not with my Current International S3 but with my older Xperia neo v ) , after flashing a new ROM something went wrong and I had lost network , tried everything possible but it wouldn't do anything.
my solution was flashing back to my previous ROM , so I highly recommend to you to flash back using your NANDROID backup ( I hope you made one before Flashing... ) or you can try another ROM / or even RE-flash your current ROM but pay more attention this time and make sure nothing goes wrong , and also make sure you do a factory reset , Cache wipe and Dalvik cache Wipe before you flash it just to make sure everything is clean.
I hope this helps , and if I helped you by any way possible don't hesitate and press the Thanks button on your LEFT :good:
Cheers

OT I don't have thanks buttons, maybe you should qualify with an IF statement?
Bad news, I don't really know what my original firmware was, so I can just try Kangburra's tip... I have 25 min waiting time on hotfile.com, I will the download the latest 4.1.1 unbranded firmware, which has PDA I9300XXDLIH and CSC I9300PHEDLI1. I will write about the results ASAP.
edit: I'm too tired, I thoght your signature was a suggestion for me

It seems you misunderstood me... I have absolutely no network signal from my carrier :/
Update: Okay the last 4.1.1 mentioned before is not working. Now it sees my network just doesn't register on it. Will try I9300XXALE8_I9300OXFALE5_XEH now.
Found something: All of ROMs installed I'm seem to be reachable. My friend ringed me from his mobile and IT WAS RINGING. If I turned off my mobile, it was not ringing of course. So what the hell is this?

[Q] Chineese Galaxy Ace 2 - I8160 - need your help !

Hi !
After 2 nights downloading as many firmwares as I could, and reading forum's thread till I fall asleep, i found no answers, so maybe you'll have some experience to share which might help me and my phone.
Well, at least it's no longer really a phone cuz it's impossible to connect to the network; let me explain to you what happened :
I'm a student in china for 2 years; I lost my iphone 3G 2 weeks ago, and after a lot of hesitation I choose to buy a galaxy Ace 2.... In the chineese way : no google play (or at least impossible to install it), impossible to install applications like viber also, and so on.
So i decided to put an other firmware on it and follow tutorials (i was used to those kind of stuff by jailbreaking and unsimlocking my iphone before android's introducing). First i downloaded the uk firmware (O2). the step "SYSTEM" worked well, but it stopped while launching the "battery management" part of the md5 file. When i switched my phone on, there were some cool improvement : google play's working, even youtube is there (youtube is forbidden in china), but no more network : "no sim cards", and disfonctionnement of the plane mode (once you put it on, impossible to come back, even if you switch it off). I made a factory data reset, which put the phone back to the step "no sim card", then the fly mode problem happened again.
So i also tried 2 others firmwares : the singapour one, and on other one called Android 2.3.6 I8160DXLF2 (would like to add the link but i'm a new user so i can't)
those two times, odin worked like this :
hidden : check
kernel : check
modem : FAIL
Now I don't really now what to do, I feel lost.... Do you know what could i do else :
-to complete a firmware upgrading
-to have my phone like it is now (with an occidental firmware including no restriction), but with more "phone skills" ?
Thanks a lot for your help and experience sharing =) ,
Adrien
up ?

Since you said that you bought your phone the chinese way, there's a possibility that you have a ZLSG1 or any chinese related baseband, you need to download a ZLSG1 firmware or any firmaware for china region.
You can visit my thread here.
Be aware that the chinese/hong kong firmware for Ace 2 have severe problems with scrolling so I suggest that you flash my custom firmware if you want, or you can wait for jelly bean update which would probably released after a few months or next year.
as for the modem.bin part, its kinda weird because you can flash a custom or different modem with any other samsung phones like the S2 or the original Ace. But the Ace 2 or even the Galaxy S Advance, you can't flash a different modem binary or power management binary...
