I have been using Exynos Extreme rom for the last couple of weeks and recently updated to v5.4. KH3 rom with latest speedmod kernel and KH3 radio. Everything seemed fine until a couple of nights ago i lost the ability to switch data on at all. I can check the "Use packet data" box in mobile networks but the 3G or H icons fail to appear in the task bar!!
I have tried absolutely everything possible to enable mobile data again but, to no avail. I've wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, tried KG3 radio, then back to KH3, reapplied the apn settings in "Access Point Names", tried toggling flight mode on and off. I then went on to perform a complete data/factory reset which, still wouldn't fix the problem. So as a last measure, I installed the latest stock rom "GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXKH3_I9100XXKH3_I9100OXAKH3" in the hope that it would finally fix my problem. Well no luck thus far, reapplied the apn settings again but still no luck.
I also checked info in "About Phone/Status" and noticed that "Mobile network state" shows as "disconnected".
It seems I've completely exhausted all possible solutions and I'm at a complete loss as what step to take next. I would appreciate very much if someone on here could help me finally fix my data woes.
what kernel and modem version do you have?
if they are other than KH3. try flashing KH3. you can go with the CF-Root KH3 kernel
Was originally on KH3 radio and latest speedmod kernel with Exynos Extreme, then flashed to stock KH3 rom with KH3 modem and KH3 kernel. Also tried with CF-ROOT KH3 kernel. All are giving the same result. Now I've reflashed Exynos rom KH3 with KH3 radio again but still no luck.
Also forgot to state that I tried KG3 radio with Exynos KH3 rom before I performed factory reset.
did you try reflashing the csc for your region.
csc contains the information needed for data settings.
try one of these codes.There is quite a few data options amoung them.

if all else fails re-flash and try the cognition s2 rom.Seems to be quite popular with this firmware and with alot of happy users.
Happened to me the other day but on villain rom, I'm on O2 by the way. I had to go into my APN settings and restore the default then the data started working. I'm still trying to work out what changed or messed up the settings as they have been working fine for several months.
Hi and thanks for your suggestion. Not tried that yet as i was unaware what the csc file does. I remember seeing links to those files in the "stock rom" thread but can't find that thread now lol. Any pointers or links for the csc files thanks?
If you have no CSC file network will connect using manual settings .

Thanks for the pointer but, I'm a bit daunted by the sight of so many csc files lol. Really not sure which one applies to me, I'm on giffgaff network that runs on O2 UK masts. I have the apn settings all input correctly but really not sure which one of these csc files would apply to O2 UK.
xeu uk csc applies to providers in the uk.
Happened to me once. Just go to wifi-network in settings and put in manually your APN settings, get them from your cell provider.

I apologize first if there is already a thread for this. Mod please delete if there is. After going through 10 pages of related articles I still couldn't find an answer. I want to go back to GB because the leaked LP1 ICS is a little buggy. When I flashed the GB files through Odin everything went through fine except I had no data. I tried different kernels and modems thinking that might work, but to no avail. I'm in the US using this phone on AT&T. Can someone point me in the right direction as to which baseband I should use. I also checked the APN and everything there seems to be correct everytime I did this. I also went to Sam Firmware to look and couldn't find anything for North America or even US for that fact. Any help would be appreciated.
Have you entered your networks correct APN settings ???
jje
That was the first thing I checked. What did throw me off a little was there were three different APN settings. Phone,WAP and Broadband. The settings were "darkened" so that they couldn't be edited.
I'm also having trouble finding a UGK Firmware
Think I found it
Well I figured it out in case this happens to anyone else. a lot like the Droid phones from Verizon, when flashing back to stock and not receiving data, you have to go into the stock recovery and do a data wipe then flash the firmware via Odin,well worked for me anyway. Once booted,everything was good to go. Word of advice before doing so,write down your APN settings in case you have to manually put them in
I flashed a stock 2.3.5 rom, using odin after I almost bricked my phone. Upon starting up my phone I immediately got the error that I could only make emergency calls. The strangest part of this is that my service state flicks on and off between in service and out of service, and my roaming switches randomly between not roaming and roaming. My provider is Telus and I have a sim card, and I'm pretty sure it works, I bought my phone from Telus.
My phone is able to connect to Kies.
Upon dialing *#1234# I get
PDA : S5830XWKS9
PHONE : S5830XWKS2
CSC : S5830XEOKP2
This CSC is for Poland, the rom I flashed was set to Poland for some reason, is this an issue? I live in Alberta, Canada, so my CSC code should not be set to this. I found a Telus CSC on this page in post #10, so I might try flashing that rom to see if that resolves my problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390798
I also noticed that the PDA and PHONE last few letters are different(WKS9/WKS2) is this also an issue?
Additional information
Baseband version : S5830XWKS2
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7-perf-CL654989
[email protected] #1
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XWKS9
You can see more examples of different numbers when you look at this info, the Baseband version is WKS2 and the Build number is WKS9.
Should I phone up Telus to make sure I'm not being charged roaming fees while I am most certainly in their coverage area? And would it be possible that my imei number is blocked for some reason(The one on the battery is the same as the one in about phone and also the same as the one when you dial *#06#).
Although my phone does work sporadically I really want it to work 24/7 for a number of reasons including safety.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, feel free to ask me for additional info, I'll do my best to get it.
Edit: My brother has a relatively new Galaxy Ace, also from Telus, exact same settings and everything I want, would it be possible to get CWM recovery on his phone and copy all the settings to my phone and restore my phone to his settings, bypassing having to screw around with all the settings on my phone?
The person in Post #8 on the site below said doing this worked for him(Although I don't understand why he replaced CWM with Ultrajack)
http://androidforums.com/huawei-m835/405469-apn-question.html
Ive also heard that you can remove your sim card and your sd card from your phone, connect it to odin and flash something to restore your phone to defaults, would there be any way to do this?
Edit: I solved this problem by finally finding the stock firmware for Telus here..
http://hotfile.com/dl/137128537/a629597/GT-S5830D_TLS_S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4.rar.html
worked great, just flashed it in Odin, started up my phone and all the baseband, CSC, everything was the correct format(TLKI4), I think this works for Koodo as well, so if anyone has been facing some issues with their stock rom, just flash this one and any errors should be cleared up.
Please try flashing a full package Froyo
Herpderp Defy.
Did you flash a new baseband? On a possibly related note... I have the DTLKI baseband, and it comes on Koodo phones. Koodo is a Canadian subsidiary of Telus. I had flashed a new baseband on and had the same problem as you, it wouldn't pick up my network provider and luckily someone on here had uploaded the baseband I needed to pick up Koodo again. Maybe you're having the same issue? Try going to wireless & networks/mobile networks/ and then network operators. Check if you can find Telus. (if this is irrelevant, I apologize)
Yeah my brother phone has DTLKI baseband as well, do you have any links to that specific baseband? I can find Telus(and also Rogers for some reason), but using the right baseband couldn't hurt.
If I did flash a full package Froyo, could I connect it to Samsung Kies to update it to 2.3.4/2.3.5? I've also read on a lot of sites that Koodo/Telus Galaxy Aces have difficulties if the baseband isnt TLKI4 so if you know of any full package froyos that use that baseband version I would greatly appreciate it.
Well, you'll want to flash the modem with odin. and the modem only. I don't know if it's compatible with froyo though as I've only used GB myself. I'll email it to you. I received it from Kevinlekiller a long time ago. The filesharing site is now removed now though! It's worth a try if you don't have a limb to go on though I guess.
Gonna try it
How did you find that firmware? I looked all over the place for it and finally found your thread!
Gonna try it tonight, my CM makes my gps crash. No fix whatsoever. Hopefully this will restore it.
Worked!
Yay!
by the by, did you happen to lose GPS functionnality while flashing custom roms?
Forget that last question
Flashing back the stock firmware corrected all issues I had and now, all other firmwares are working A-OK.
Currently on ice cream sunday.
I can't post to the dev forum, so maybe someone over here can help:
I tried the PA ROM, because I really love the hybrid mode. The ROM has worked fine and looks great, but whatever version I flash, the mobile network, both data and phone, simply doesn't work.
It briefly connects to my provider (drei.at) and immediately disconnects, no matter whether I have data connection enabled or not.
Have tried this with all available versions of PA and did the usual routine: wipe, format system, wipe data. I even went totally back to a stock ROM, tried various modems, the current one being XXDLH9, which works just fine on [email protected] 0.6 ROM.
Had the same problem with Omega, FoxHound, and god knows what other ROMs I tried. No matter what, the only JB ROM actually working is [email protected] 0.6, that's it.
Is this a known phenomenon or have I overlooked something obvious?
The phone used to be a branded and simlocked Austrian T-Mobile, but ever since it has been debranded and SIM unlocked.
Any ideas?
All i can suggest is your apn settings?
Can try Offline SIM APN Database (get on Google Play) to insert the correct apn settings.

Thank you for the suggestion. The APN settings on a fresh install, all wiped, are correct and the same as in a working setup.
Any other ideas? Am I really the only one with that problem?
Modem tried APN correct .
Suggest next step is factory reset ..
Step after that is to install an official stock rom .

Did a factory reset, totally clean install with everything wiped.
Also, did a clean wipe and installed official stock ROM. Lost root, started from scratch and still didn't work.

No, that's not what I said. Stock ROMs work just fine; I actually just flashed the latest leak (DLI5) and had no problems with the network. The problem hasn't changed, so it's what I wrote in the OP: Only JB to work ist latest leak and [email protected] 0.6. All others can be installed but have not network connection other than WiFi.

Thanks for trying to help.
Yes, I have been playing around with all kinds of basebands, trying to flash modems etc. but that does not seem to be the reason for it. I have had different modems working and the very same modems simply did not work with PA at all. Best example ist yesterday's leak DLI5 which I flashed and had a virgin like system working just fine with my network. I then flashed the PA ROM, which then had the same baseband as the latest stock ROM, but, alas, same story: No network.
The weird thing is the brief connect it always shows in the status bar. It lasts roughly 4-5 seconds and then disconnects again, only showing the empty network status display.
It really sucks, because I find the idea of hybrid ROMs really appealing, in fact, this seems to me as a truly superior way of making use of the 720p display.
Need to try logcat next to see whether the connect/disconnect somehow can be monitored from there. Will report on that.

I just installed ParanoidAndroid. I'm kind of a noob to all of this.
I understand some, but not all.
My mobile networks are not working.
I don't get any notification at the top of the screen either saying I'm on a mobile network.
I've messed around with the APN settings. It seems that every now and then it'll connect for a brief moment, but I can't really do anything unless I'm connected to WiFi.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there!
Before anyone asks, I have done the following.
Searched on google/XDA for solutions
Flashed different ROM's
Changed Kernels
Wiped all cache
Did factory Reset
I am currently having bad network problems with my phone.
I am running JellyBam 6.7.0 with default kernel.
Baseband: XXLQ6
Problem
I constently get No Service or "Emergency Calls only" in areas that I've never had emergency calls in. I am not aware of my old modem or RIL, and so am completely lost of what to go from here as I haven't found posts that could help my issue.
When I reboot my phone, turn airplane mode on, or just randomly it will go into the stage above, to where it will stay without signal for 10 minutes up to days (I've had it go for 2 days with no signal). When I try to search for networks (In places where there is 100% a network) it will say "error searching for network".
I have no idea what to do, and am rather scared. There have been 2 emergency situations to where I needed a phone, and yet mine had no signal.
My second question, is if I manage to get it back to stock ICS (4.0.4) and do all the updates through KIES, will I get the original modem + RIL back as well as the ROM? Or will I still need to flash that myself.
TLDR: If I reset it back completely to stock ICS, will everything that I have done (root, flash modems, flash kernels etc...) be erased.
Thanks so much for reading, I've got so much stress rigt now.
Are you getting no service all the time or only intermittently ? Also, check your IMEI in settings/about phone to see if it's the generic one (0049.....), whatever you do tho don't post your actual IMEI here. Just a yes/know answer to the 'is it the generic one' question will do.
If it's a constant thing, call your carrier to check if it's been IMEI blocked. If it's intermittent, flash a stock ICS rom as you'd suggested. You'll end up with whatever modem/baseband is attached to the rom you flash, and yes, you'll lose root & the kernel you're currently running will be replaced by the stock kernel in the rom you flash.

Yes it's only intermittent, so not a problem with the IMEI.
So if I find, and download stock ICS to bring it to factory it should be fine? If I were to, let's say, flash the ICS onto the phone, is there any way to keep the RIL+ Baseband and flash back JB? Or when flashing JB, will it replace whatever RIL+Baseband is attached with the ROM.
Also, thanks for the quick reply. I was expecting days for a response.
Forget about JB/custom roms/anything else until or unless you get your phone working normally again. Flash an ICS stock rom for your region.
And forget about the current RIL/baseband. It sounds like it may well be the cause of the problems you're having; quite possible if you've been mucking around with different RIL's in particular. Pretty sure I said in my PP that you'll end up with whatever baseband is lumped in with the stock rom you flash.
Actually, you might want to stick with a stock rom specific to your carrier if there is one, at least that way you know the modem/baseband will more than likely have been tested by your carrier & is likely to work well with it unless there are other issues (carrier side connectivity issues or other problems with your phone).
As to whether doing this will fix your issues, no idea. At the moment, and in the absence of any clue as to what's causing your issues, it's the best option you've got. If it doesn't fix the problems, then it's probably a carrier-side issue (possible given it only happens at certain times/in certain locations) or a physical problem with the phone (less likely).

The only one on the list is Optus, but my phone is with virgin (on the optus network) should that be fine?

Yep. Flash the Optus rom given you're effectively using their network & see what happens.

Just downloaded it (Hotfile takes forever) and flashed through odin.
Worked fine after a factory reset. However, Kies won't update my phone.
Network seems to running smooth, so we'll see how it goes. The more things I do, I guess the more things I can rule out.
EDIT:
I updated the phone, and I get the message "Unfortunately, Application installer has stopped". What am I supposed to do?

That didn't work.
Anyhow, I managed to track down a 4.0.4 variant of the ROM I was using, and made sure the CSC, PDA and Baseband all matched up with what Kies wanted, and flashed it. I think the error occured I was trying to update a ROM with the wrong CSC and Baseband to one with the correct ones and Kies didn't like that.
I run CM 10.1 on my phone, which had original specs: PDA:KG3 / PHONE:KE7 / CSC:KG1 (VNZ). I've been running those CM nightlies since about November 2012 with few problems, updating to new nightlies every few weeks to a month. I'd never flashed new radios - just the CM rom.
Starting a couple of months ago, I began to see a problem where my phone would drop cell service (no bars + empty triangle in the cell signal indicator) and rebooting was the only way to bring the cell signal back. This happened every couple of days, so was bearable. I figured something in the nightlies had caused a weird problem and that the CM devs/community would find and fix this.
After flashing a nightly last week, my phone wouldn't hold cell signal for more than an hour - sometimes not even that. Reboots fixed this but never permanently. I started to read about radios, modems, and RILs. hawkerpaul's post here was a great help. I found that my phone had the original KE7 radio but had a RIL of I9100XXLS8(2) - I presume from the CM rom? I flashed some new radios and have now gone through a series of the (matched) modem + RIL files in hawkerpaul's post above. In most cases I see the following behaviour:
Phone successfully finds network (Vodafone NZ) on boot
Trying to manually select a mobile operator fails (error when searching for networks)
Unable to successfully call out! Dialling stalls, and I can't hang up - only fixed by a reboot
How do I fix this immediate problem of not being able to call/receive calls? Seems like maybe I'm using a radio that doesn't work with Vodafone NZ - but I haven't seen any posts on what DOES work well with that network. I have the modem file to flash the original KE7 back again, but what should I do about the RIL file then? Not sure I have found an RIL for KE7 yet in my travels. Any help would be appreciated - and thanks!
To help me figure out where I went wrong, do the CM builds include the RIL, or is that something that could only get updated somewhere else? I know the rom doesn't change the modem but I suspect that XXLS8(2) RIL had to come from CM.
1) Don't mess with RIL's (You'll make it 'worse').
2) Check stock roms released by your telco. Find out which modems were bundled with those stock roms. Try those modems. If they don't help, look for stock roms released by other carriers which sold the the I9100T world-wide (check Samfirmware). Try the modems bundled with these roms. If they don't help, try any & every modem you can get your hands on.
If you've already flashed RIL's, you may well have created a bigger problem for yourself. You might want to do a clean install of stock as well for good measure if that's the case. The reason I stopped using CM9 (and never bothered with CM10) was similar issues that seem to have gotten introduced with a particular nightly & never went away (a fix was tried which benefited a very few problems who were having RIL problems but created problems for even more people who previously had no problems).

I'm just about at this point. If I reinstall stock, will that reset my modem as well?
Thanks for the help - looks like I did definitely make things worse.
You'll end up with whatever modem is bundled with the stock rom, so probably use the most recent released by your carrier, then you can try other modems released by your carrier as per my PP. The rationale with that is you'd hope your carrier has tested the modems they bundle with their stock roms so they work in most places/at most times with their network. Doing a clean install of stock should fix anything funky messing around with RIL's may have done as well.
If you get no joy from those, proceed as per my PP (You might get other suggestions from other people as well).
Thanks for the help. I was able to flash the latest stock rom, which included baseband I9100XXLS8. This worked fine for making and receiving calls. I lasted a couple of hours with that stock Samsung firmware before I started to get itchy for Android 4.2 again, so I've now rooted and am going to try CM10 again, but at least this time I know not to touch the modem - and I'm confident I can get back to stock again if I have any problems! Many thanks!
Glad you've got connectivity back You can flash modems as much as you want, I'd just be wary of messing with RIL's unless it's as an absolute last resort (I.E you have no connectivity & you've tried every single modem. Too many people try them when their connectivity is fine in the mistaken belief they're going to get 8Mbps instead of 7.8Mbps downloads, I.E it wasn't broke in the first place), even then a clean install of stock & choosing the right modem will often fix the problems.
You're welcome Any dramas post to this thread again & I'm sure someone will help.

Hi and thanks in advance. I have a galaxy i9100 which shows the following information: PDA: i9100xwlsd - Phone i9100xxls8 - Csc i9100vnzls9. I installed via odin Android version 4.1.2 which made the phone work really well except that it kept dropping network service and signal strength. I replaced the sim which did seem to help but did not fix the problem totally. I also notice that the GPS will not find any satellites and just keeps searching for as long as I would let it. I have read various threads and it appears that this may be a modem problem? I have found that Vodafone NZ has released a modem which is i9100xxls9? Should I flash the modem file only in Odin and do you really think this would fix the problem. How would I flash the modem file. Would I do this through odin? Any help gratefully received.
Yes, first step is definitely to flash the modem which was released by your carrier for your region. If you can find a file which is Odin flashable then yes, try it. However most of the files are for flashing via CWM. Are you rooted? If not they won't work for you, in which case you'll have to search around for an Odin flashable version of LS9.
Just to check, you do have an i9100? Not an i9100t etc? Some variants require different modems.

Thanks for the response. How do I know if a file is odin flashable? How do you flash via cwm (whatever that is). You can see I am a little bit or a lot of a novice on this. The unfortunate thing is I enjoy it. I think the phone is rooted and it says the phone is: Model GT- i9100. The phone was purchased in UAE and I have flashed the android 4.1.2 which was a vodafone NZ system. Everything works fine except the GPS and the phone signal drops out all the time showing no service when there is service? Thanks again for your help on this. I have just found that the phone may not be rooted? I tried to install root manager but it indicated phone was not rooted?
Ok so no offence, you need to do a lot of reading for yourself. Reading is the key to successful (ie without bricking) modification of your phone.
For a start, if you've flashed stock then of course you will not have root. You don't need to have root to flash a modem. Have a look here:

I'm not saying to flash that modem file. But that's how you do it, now you just need to find your file and flash it.
