Hoping someone can help me out... My phone wont connect to my wifi at home (only place I use wifi). It gets hung up on "Obtaining IP Address" every now and then it will also show "Connecting, authenticating, not in range" but always comes back to obtaining IP address and never connects. I first noticed this after I had switched ROMs this past weekend. Went from MIUI to JTs VGB V7... Switched back to MIUI to see if it would fix it and nothing ( Always wiping cache, Dalvik, data in between) Have a tried a few other ROMs since and still getting the same problem... Flashed back to stock this morning and still cant connect to my wifi... I know its not my wifi because I am using it right now on my laptop... My wifes phone can connect without a problem (her phone is on PWGB v2). Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!!
I don't know if the modem has anything to do with wifi connectivity but if your wife's phone has no issues on pwgb its worth looking into...what modem are you on versus her? Are they both on the same one?
Also have you tried just deleting your network and re setting it up?
Toggling wifi on/off, airplane mode on/off...not even sure any of those will make a difference just trying to figure out why your phone won't connect but your wife's phone will?

Yeah its pretty weird... We are both on the same modem, EC09. I have tried just about everything.
I had the same problem once. I re-downloaded the rom and kernel in the computer, put them in the sd card then, wipe data and cache and flash it without restoring any backups. That did the trick for me.
Kernel might have borked the IPtables. wipe caches and reflash the kernel.
My GS2 was working fine up until this morning. I tried making a call and i get a message saying "Mobile network not available" The network bars are also grey and not turning blue.
Strangely my 3G connection is working fine. I can browse internet pages and use apps that require an internet connection.
Here are some things I tried
I manually tried to connect to the network and i get this "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later"
I tried my sim in another phone and its working fine. I tried a different sim and i get the same error message
I did a Google search the error I came up with a several people with the same problem. It seemed there IMEI number was changed to a fake one, but i don't have this problem. My IMEI is the same as the original.
any help would be appreciated

Mate, you can try to change modem. Should solve you problem
The are a few modems on here. I tried a few and managed to install only one the rest failed with an error. The one that flashed didn't fix the problem.
Any recommendations on which modem to use?
Also you can try cleaning your Dalvik Cache if you are not still successful doing that, try to factory reset but dont forget to back up your contacts..

I just tried the K14 Modem. I still have the same problem.
I tried a different rom but no joy.
I can see my network name in the settings menu but under service state its saying "Out of service"
The strange thing is my data connection is still working so Im sure my network hasn't barred the phone.
Delete you current network settings and remake them .
After that its a service centre .

Hi,
I'm facing this major problem with my handset.
When I insert a SIM card to my mobile, it registers with the network (VODAFONE IN) with signal strength of 12asu and then gradually decreases to 5asu and then 1asu when my phone shows no signal afterwards. The carrier is shown as Unknown and service as out of service.
If I put the same SIM in another phone, it works. So no problem with the SIM or Network.
I have tried the following:
1) Flashed various modems
2) Flashed various ROMS (CM9, CM10, Official Stock)
3) Did complete WIPE. Factory Reset, Clear cache, Clear Dalvik cache, Format /system
4) I also restored by efs to a backup I had of my efs(taken when I first got the phone in 2011).
5) Also used Repair Galaxy S2 app which basically fixes RW permissions of the EFS folder.
6) Also used EFS Pro to repair my .nav files
7) Also used GetRIL tool to check if the drivers are matching.
Even after doing everything, the problem is same. When I first insert the sim card, it gets signal for around 5 minutes and then suddenly it goes to 1asu with no signal forever. I also kept my phone as it is for one whole day, but nothing: my phone is unreachable and there's no signal.
I had never dropped my phone and possibility of any physical damage to the receiver is very low.
The only reason I can see is this:
I was on DilDroid ICS and everything was fine until one day, I went to Recovery and fixed permissions. (Btw, DilDroid ICS used Siyah kernal)
And I think that was the last thing I did after which my phone couldn't receive signals.
I think some files have been corrupted and even after factory reset etc. it remains and the next time I flash another ROM, the files are still there.
Can someone tell me a way to completely clean my galaxy s2 and then start off by flashing a new ROM.
Or any other solution. Kindly help.

do a full wipe and install another rom and see
1) Wipe data/Factory reset
2) go to 'mounts and storage' and wipe data and system there.
3)wipe Cache partition as well as Dalvik in advance.
then install the rom zip file
and again do all wipes except system and then check for issue's
ps- before that try with a different netwrk sim on the phone and see if the issue persists or not

Hi Sun90,
I've tried flashing different ROM after complete wipe. I also wiped system. But never wiped data. Doing it now.

update:
I tried your approach, but still facing the same problem. Please help.
Hello everyone.
I got exactly the same problem. I had my I9100 for over a year. I flashed lots of roms. Now i got this problem. I cannot connect to the service of my carrier. I got realy bad connection or no connection at all. The sim works on different Galaxys and its not a problem with the apn and or my IMEI. Evereything is ok there.
what have I done so far:
flashed several roms
flashed several modems
went back to original rom
several whipes
Now I have a nice MP3 player with some WIFI at home
What im thinkin about could be the problem but I dont know how to fix it:
I think i got a wrong CSC and there is something rotten with my partitions...

yes i tried another networks's sim as well. sim was recognised. sim-pin ok. but no service/connection. on manual carrier choice the galaxy said something like connected to service. but there is no internet and if i try to make a call there is the "no service" popup again.
i dont think its a problem with the HW because sometimes i see the different carriers. i just cannot connect to them!
as I said before: I think its a SW problem around CSC and/or somethin is ****ed up with my phones partitions...

That's true. If I sometime connect to my network, I can quickly make a call & for the duration of the call, it remains okay. Pretty strange. I can goto flight mode and then back and sometimes I get the signals back for around 2-3 minutes before again going to no signal.
@Aton88, Were you by any chance on Siyah kernal or DilDroid ROM or went outside India? Just asking. Trying to find a pattern here.

yeh sure, give it a try
and by the way creating more threads for the same issue doesn't bring about any goodthing to u for sure, hence stick to the rules of XDA, rather than doing this and getting Infracted by the mods for the same
take my words this is for ur own good

Thanks for the advice. I shall make sure I don't create duplicate threads. Btw, I even checked if my phone is locked but it's not. Everything is OFF.
I even checked the validity of my IMEI and it seems to be valid.
I'm really running out of ideas to check what's wrong.
I tried a different provider's SIM and even that doesn't work.
Can someone tell me how to do a complete clean install.
Are these steps complete or any steps are missing:
1. Factory Reset
2. Clear cache
3. Clear Dalvik Cache
4. Clear Battery stats
5. Wipe /system
6. Wipe /data
Then Goto Odin: Flash the official Stock Firmware for India.
Am i missing anything? I want a complete WIPE, so that no previous corrupted files are present. Please help.

u can give it a try with those steps but no4 is not necessary
i have a similar problem.....in the about section my network is displayed correctly but under "service state" it says out of service... BUT the internet works fine....when i try to make a call it says "not registered on network" ...the sim works fine in other phones.....the IMEI is also fine.
heres what i have tried :
1) change sim card
2) change roms
3) go back to stock GB that phone came with
4)wipes (all)
now i think i messed up something with the ril cause i changed it and i think thats where the problem started.
i got backups of the efs but i dont wana go there unless absolutely sure that the problem is there.
(is there a way to i dont know like check the integrity of tue efs or something)
I'm having a similar problem with my s2
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
if someon could plz check this for me.
i went into the service mode menu *#197328640#..then option 2 which is version info ...then option 1 which is SW version....then option 1 which is READ IMEI ...now when i selected that it said IMEI :NOT SUPPORTED
i dont know if thats normal...so if someone could please try this and let me know..i would be extremely thankful
ok so i did a lil experiment :
i purposely messed up my IMEI to that generic one with lots of zeros ...and suprisingly the calling function is back and i can use the phone normally except ofcourse the fact that the IMEI is messed....
Then i restored to get my own IMEI ...and together with my IMEI ..the problem came back too....
(oh and once again if someone could plz confirm the thing i asked about in previous post thanks)
My imei says not supported "/

Network signal issues
Have you tried checking network operators and manually searching and selecting the Network provider?
also have you tried flashing a different radio ?

Hay everyone .
I recently flashed salmanrom v 4.2 and everything went fine until I was unable to use network data my carrier gives me. However, I could still connect to wifi.
I can still send messages and calls but I can't connect to the internet because I'm unable to to use my network data. I tested the the sim on another phone and everything worked perfectly even the network data.
I'm really frustrated someone help me please
Known issue with that ROM?
If not, flash a new modem.
If you are getting your network you should be able to use data tho.

Check and make sure your APNs are set properly for your carrier on the phone you do not get mobile data on.

Maybe could help a full wipe and re-flash the same rom...

That is excessive if fixing APNs might solve his problem. Plus, re-flashing the same ROM may not auto populate his APNs anyways.
Well as the title says.
Just rebooted my s2 and now when I try to do anything it says "insert sim card to access network" imei is fine serials fine and even shows signal bars but soon as try to make a call to drop signal and network completely....
have restored efs folder and even dne a repair.
changed base bands
reflashed new rom
tried different sims(and networks)
and still nothing
Odd that it happened after weeks of being fine and then just did a reboot and then this all happened
any ideas folks as to next move?
please someone must have an idea or two. to offer!
Well looks like I have fixed the issue after many hours of frustration..
Still have no idea what happened to cause issue in first place..
What I did was refresh my original backup
flash original STOCK rom via odin and this seemed to have fixed it. Are there any friggin better loctaion for these files as took 8 hrs to down load the damn thing!?
now re rooted, flash custom rom, flashed custom kernel of choice and than restored back up
everything seems ok(though my imei is incorrect now as says 004999010xxxxxx ,but am concerned it will happen again. Had flashed a modem several days before and updated a few apps . but at time of the issue occuring was just clearing caches then a reboot..
