Please, Please, HELP ME !!!
I looked all over this forum and on the net to try to find a solution to my problem, but I couldn't find anything that relates to this issue.
When I go into Mobile Networks/Network Operators, the phone starts to search for available networks. When the search is complete, I select the network I want and then I get the following message: "Unable to select Network/Select Automatically. Unable to connect.Try again later." The only way I can connect to my provider is to reboot the phone. Because of this, I am unable to use my phone in roaming either. It looks like my phone fails to connect to any mobile networks manually.
When I put the SIM in a different phone, the error is gone, so the problem should be with my phone. Could it be a modem or a ROM issue? Don't know.
The phone is rooted, with Android 2.3.5, Baseband: I9100XXKI4. Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 [email protected] #2.
Please help me. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Already tried to change modem/
wipe the hell out of your phone/
reflash the Rom?
Almost always helps
Set network APN manually do not use search /auto and see what happens .
That can be followed by backup of data and factory reset .
You can also check you have correct CSC for network/location .
Next would be to flash another modem KI1 for choice through Odin or from the zipped modems post through CWM .

All Fails you can do the following this will bring the phone to an acceptable warranty return state if it does not cure the problem .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Thank you jje,
My current CSC is this: I9100OXAKI4.
My location/network is this: Romania/Vodafone
Roaming in Hungary for example still does not work. Could the CSC be wrong?
Thank you

He should work with I9100XXKJ3
Thank you umarian,
I will try to find a new firmware with the right CSC and flash my phone again. Any quick links you might know would be much appreciated.
Then, I will check later today if roaming works and will get back here with the results.
Thank you again

I had the similar problem since last week: The sgs2 has been working with local operator Telia for about 4 months and suddenly it could not register on the network after I have set it to airplane mode several times
I put 3 other sims from the same operator in my sgs2, all of them do not work, and they all working fine in other phones
I put 2 sims from 2 other operators in my sgs2, they all working fine
So it seems this sgs2 only does not work within Telia's network, but I gave Telia support my IMEI number, they say that number is not locked or blocked in their network
I tried manually select network from the list, but get immediately back a notification saying "unable to select network", not like in a working phone, it takes several seconds before getting a confirmation from the network
So I guess some old denying answer from Telia is cached in the phone, and everytime phone send the register request, the cached denying answer is read. unless I can clearout this cache, there is no way to get registered with Telia
I went forward to wipe/factory reset/flash another rom&modem, all did not help. I guess these cache information is not changeble through normal flashing process, maybe in EFS area or somewhere else
Anyone can help?

I'm sure this is not your situation but my provider was down for the days but when I called support they swore everything was fine and trouble shooted my phone.for what ever reason their Sim showed every provider in my area as them.(as it in network search all providers looked like my provider). While the phone tried to connect to the other providers it was rejected as "unable to register on network"error. I did not figure out out until I checked network search with a different provider Sim and my network provider was no where to be found until they got the system back up in my area.

Thanks, I always flash stock roms and csc for the phone, and tried twice, I believe the data which caused the problem could not be touched by the flash process
Now I put another SIM from telenor in the sgs2 and try to manually select the Telia network, it took more than 30 seconds and returned a message saying "unable to select network, select automatically", and then it select home network (telenor) successfully
However, if I manually select other non-home network (3, tele2 etc... ), it took about 5 seconds to get that message
So, I think that 30 seconds waiting actually is a system timeout period, there is no communication to/from Telia network during this period
The strange thing is that even reflash the rom/kernel/modem do not improve the situation, where did the android system store the settings of network operators so that even a full flash of the phone can not clear it?
I'm going to do some adb logging today to see what is actually happening there...
i recently got a Galaxy s2
but i am having some problems with the network (have read many threads, but no fix so far)
so, the phone was 2.3.3 version
i flashed via odin stock roms to 2.3.5/6 version
but - no mobile network, changed different roms and on the KI3 i get 2-3 days using the mobile network, and then it loses the network...
any ideas what i can do?
FIXED
Try flashing different modems until you find one that works well for you. There are a ton of threads on here which have links to modem downloads (and many of them are hosted on sites that still work), search for them.

Return phone to service centre .

Update:
so i flashed few more modems (like 7-8)
and i can see the signal strength is ok -around -60/-70 dBm...so obviously it's ok
and again for a couple of hours network was fine then,,,disappeared
*can't get it back to service center
other ideas?
Has your ime changed?
Does this only happen with your sgs2 or does it happen if your sim is in another phone?
Are your apn settings correct?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
IMEI is same, no change
the APN settings are fine
the sim card works perfect with other phones, that's why i think the problem is in the phone
will try with other sim card in same phone and will post result. while waiting suggestions
What model do you have? Check on the sticker under the battery. Checking in settings doesn't show the true model. Eg, I have an I9100T but in settings it shows as the I9100 because I use a I9100 rom. I get crap reception on all roms until I flash an I9100T modem.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
it's a gt i9100
so same as in settings
still no other sim card to check
did you try the kg9? in which modem you were in 2.3.3? did you try to return the same? if it does not work I think it's best to bring your phone in for repair
i think no, so i will give it a try
* i am in france btw - do you use the same modem?
with my andy rom i'm in LPB modem and it work very fine but before, i was in ki4 or kg9 and i don't have problem with it
So FIXED
obviously it wasn't a modem problem, but sim card - wasn't working with no matter what sim card. So i did few times the hard factory reset and used again Helroz application from the market, and on the 3rd time, it worked.
10x for the help and the advices guys
what leaves as a question is : am i going to be able to flash custom roms, and what is changed after the use of Helroz application, so i can do backups?
Hi all,
I need help regarding connection problem of my I9300.
I updated my SGSIII through kies from LE8 to LH1 ( Using Firmware initialization, as Kies was giving message that it cannot update this phone)
But after update i have no network connection at all. There aren't any insert sim warnings anywhere, i just have a circle with a diagonal line through it in the notification bar where the signal bars usually sit.
If i hold the power button to bring up the shut down/flight mode menu,I can turn on flight mode but after getting in flight mode this option is diasabled. And i cannot turn off flight mode from power menu.
I can disable it from settings, but that option also disables and only enables if i exit from that menu and enter again.
I have re installed .LE8 via Odin but it is same.
My phone is unlocked and i can see carrier name in status bar.
Also it does not search any available networks from menu.
Any one knows what is wrong

Are modem and CSC correct for your area .
Have you set up the network manually is the network registered in the APN list .
Have you tried a factory reset after backing up all data ??
But this reads more like a failed flash .

My signals were fine with OXA LE8. I upgarded to LG8.
Now i have reflashed same firmware but it did bot work.
MY APN is automatically configured from sim,
But when i got to network operators --> Search networks, Searching flashes for a second and goes off.
When i choose Network operators --> Select automatically it says registered to network immediately
Also power menu keeps telling that flight mode is ON even if i turn it off from setting. and this option in power menu is also disabled unless i reboot. After switching to Flight mode first time from menu it is disabled.
I did factory reset but it did not help
If it is a failed flash, what should i do?
I have noticed one more thing,
If i remove sim card, I get no sim card symbol. But i get full signal bars on status bar.
In settings--> Status it shows signal strength of 71 dbm 21 asu
Also without sim card the flightmode can be enabled or disabled normally
with flight mode disabled the signal strength is 70-80 dbm, with flight mode enabled signals go to 111 dbm
I have the same error!
Exacly equal on everything you said!
Only diference is, my IMEI was changed by 004999xxxxxx.
And I don't know why!
I've done all facilities to follow many tutorials here, but nothing worked.
I have just noticed that in status menu, serial number is 00000000000.
Is it normal or i have some corruption in EFS folder.

I think you can resolve your issue by restoring efs data
I have checked my efs folder.
following two files are modified at the time when i installed the LH1 firmware.
1- nv_data.bin
2- nv_data.bin,md5
allother files are old.
I think it has some problem. I have .bak files of both files.
How can i restore them.
Do you have EFS backup? If yes, did you try to restore it?

My friend had the same problem when he tried to initiate the firmware via Kies (as it was not his region update, which we believe is the cause of the problem)
He solved it by downloading the latest official firmware of his region using checkfus-PC version after wiping all data and cache and it worked well bringing his device back to the latest official firmware and reseting modem/csc
For Egypt, I believe the latest official firmware is BLFB. Download PC version of check fus and use it to verify :good:

I dont have a Tuto for you..but once you open Checkfus..the steps are quite easy..enter your model number..your region and download the firmware..similarly you can do the same on Sammobile.com...you will need to register first...once you have the zip file..unzip it to find the .tar file..take your phone into download mode.connect to pc with odin open...choose the .tar file as pda uncheck re-partition if it is checked...and flash..

Am i supposed to download the firware for my country and reflash it.
My phone orignal firmware is BTU ( UK ) according to Kies when i use Kies firmware initiaization, but i am in PAK.
Is this the cause of problem
My CSC when it checked before upgrading was LE8 (XXX)
when using *#197328640# (Service Mode)
version info---> sw version-->read csc code it says does not support
read all sw versio ---> no thing against csc code
read imei ---> not supported
But*#06# returns imei
*#1234# returns all information
I am confused. is it normal
Is there a way to check the orignal CSC as i might have some csc conflict that is not allowing me to use sim card
I have checked my nv_data.bin
I found that it has ÿÿÿÿÿI9300XXLE8............. written in it. is it ok for UK (BTU) firmware.
But Odin does not show my CSC it says that i have LE8 ( XXX ).
Using *2767*4387264636#. code to check product number is also not working in my phone. It does nothing.
In service menu when i check sellout sms-->get scm info
1- sellout sms : off
Pcode : not active
Mode : prod
Any progress?
After flashing official LE8 and fox hound LH4, i think it is not rom related issue.
Some people think that it may be CSC or product code problem, But in my SGS2 i flashed every rom with many different CSC and regions but i never had this issue.
I am currently working on EFS folder because all my symptoms are same as if EFS folder is corrupt, but i just want to be sure because i can see imei, mac addresses and SW info.

Hello there,
A few weeks ago I was trying out different custom roms on my galaxy s3, and I somehow managed to **** something up and my IMEI number got changed to something like 00400001234. I kept getting "Not Regitsrred on Network" error if I tried to make calls. So I took it to a repair shop and paid £25 to get it fixed
It got fixed and the imei number went back to normal - I could make calls again!
I then did efs, nandroid and titanium backups and then flashed foxhound rom, but again I get the "not registered on network" error. So I restored the backup, but it still says the error. I tried a different backup and still it cant connect to network :crying:
What I tried to fix this:
- turning it off for a while then back on
- manually trying to connect to my network
- manually enterring APN details
- ate a bagel
- factory reset / data wipe
- I followed all the guides I could find on this site and used the search function extensively! the last thread i read was this one but the guy couldn't find a solution other than taking it to a shop
I think I have only these options:
1) try to fix it myself maybe flashing a different radio, CSC, or something (?)
2) take it back to repair shop and pay another £25
I read somewhere that the method the shop uses to 'fix' the phone means that you cant install custom roms. is this true?
As you can probably tell, I am a novice at this kinda thing and so it's very frustrating cos I cant understand how to fix this =/
Thankyou
A guess is that you flashed custom rom and either have no CSC wrong CSC or wrong modem for your network . Or EFS folder is damaged .
Possible solution restore original rom via .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978840
Then test .
jje
so is the imei there?
yes the IMEI on the phone matches the one printed under the battery
thanks for the link. i'm trying to use kies now to fix it, but it's saying my device firmware version is not supported to update via kies. not sure what this means cos i flashed the stock rom already =/
Trying flashing the stock modem if it's not already, I too got same problem and then flashed the stock modem for my rom/country and it worked
Just my experience being a noob to flashing

i would like to try flashing a new modem/csc but i dunno where to find those seperate files. do you have a link to where i can download the unbranded UK one?
ive just flashed another rom with odin (UK unbranded BTU 4.0.4), and now i'm getting a different error. the phone now says 'mobile network not available' and there are no mobile networks showing when i try to search for them. i am no longer seeing the 'not registered to network' error
i'm still getting the error message in kies saying my firmware is not compatible too =/
dunno if this helps, but when i dial *#1234# it shows this information:
AP: I9300XXBLG8
CP: I9300XXLG8
CSC: I9300XABLG8
what does it all mean =S
edit: okay, i've just been down to the store where i originally bought the phone from. i had one of their sales guy snap a picture of the firmware version info screen. for comparison i've included a screenshot of my s3's info:

the console text says it has applied CSC-code "CYO"
ive managed to find the correct firmware now, so that it matches the stock s3, but yet my problem still remains =/ once again it is giving me the 'not registered on network' error
dont know what else to try now =/
maybe the CSC code is incorrect, and changing it would fix my issue?
CSC has nothing to do, since your phone is unlocked. It depends on the network, whether GSM or UMTS.
Try this firmware for the CSC CYO:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/190153878/49a62fc/I9300XXELLA_I9300OXXELL1_CYO.zip.html
1- Make sure to flash using Odin 3.07. Find it in the forums. To flash, you must enter the download mode. Switch off the phone, then Vol Down + Home + Power.
2- After flashing and rebooting the device, when the logo is shown, remove the battery and reinsert it.
3- Enter the recovery mode using (Vol Up + Home + Power).
4- Choose "Wipe factory settings".
5- Reboot the device.
6- Enjoy.
Being in an area with weak network coverage can cause continuous error like "Not registered on network". Therefore, after flashing, try forcing the network into GSM via "Setting -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM Only".
This shall work fine with you
well thanks for trying, but that didn't work either. i followed the steps exactly and i still get 'not registered on network' error =/

yes the phone was bought from carphone warehouse (UK) and was already unlocked out of the box
also, no i have not tried another sim
i've just uses kies to find the exact firmware i need (entered the model + serial number) and flashed it... but, still i get 'not registered on network' error, despite having full 5 bars signal
i dont know what else could cause this. the firmware is correct, imei number is correct, everything is back to stock.. so why am i still seeing this error? :crying: ive run out of ideas now! well, unless the 'custom binary counter' stops the phone working if you flash it too many times (???) i really dont know what else to try

Hi dudes,
i have a normal GT-i9300 NO BRAND. From the beginning i started with Ultima Rom and until version 12 and a provider CHANGE with the same number (from Wind to TIM, Italy) i never had a problem...after,starts the odd's show:
if turns on the WiFi...my device is like OFFLINE,is not reachable .KEEP ATTENTION: the signal is present, like -85dbM 14asu.But from the moment I do a phone call or i send a SMS...device turns back reachable, for a X period of time,after that: "offline" again.
I tried:
change modem (latest,oldest...)
downgrade of Ultima Rom and modem
upgrade until Ultima Rom V16 (4.3..)
pass to CM11 temasek unofficial V45 (4.4.2 GREAT ROM...)
pass to STOCK SAMSUNG ROM (with odin,latest version...my God,tried only for the test and quickly raging i came back to temasek)
used the same device with a different TIM sim
I did a deep wipe for new ROM installation,with Philz recovery...
NOTHING WORKS, the problem rest.
To Do:
try a different provider sim...for example WIND or 3 (for exclude a Provider problem...something related to communication protocols)
Try my TIM sim in another GT-I9300 always with CM11 temasek unofficial.(for exclude an HARDWARE problem...waiting for a my friend with the same device and rom)
Weird:
it seems that this problem is only in my home because from my workplace (another radiocell) i'm reachable also under wifi connection.
CALLED:
I called to my customer service TIM and they did a "format" of my sim and "account"...but nothing changes. They said that in my radiocell the signal is weak, they know that but they can't do nothing.
I REMEMBER that the problem began from the SWITCH from WIND to TIM,that not wanted,happened during an upgrade of Ultima ROM...
SO,the problem is of my device? Sim? Number? Provider?... WHAT THE H****?!
ANY SUGGESTIONS!?!??!

Hi dudes,
i have a normal GT-i9300 NO BRAND. From the beginning i started with Ultima Rom and until version 12 and a provider CHANGE with the same number (from Wind to TIM, Italy) i never had a problem...after,starts the odd's show:
if turns on the WiFi...my device is like OFFLINE,is not reachable .KEEP ATTENTION: the signal is present, like -85dbM 14asu.But from the moment I do a phone call or i send a SMS...device turns back reachable, for a X period of time,after that: "offline" again.
I tried:
change modem (latest,oldest...)
downgrade of Ultima Rom and modem
upgrade until Ultima Rom V16 (4.3..)
pass to CM11 temasek unofficial V45 (4.4.2 GREAT ROM...)
pass to STOCK SAMSUNG ROM (with odin,latest version...my God,tried only for the test and quickly raging i came back to temasek)
used the same device with a different TIM sim
I did a deep wipe for new ROM installation,with Philz recovery...
NOTHING WORKS, the problem rest.
To Do:
try a different provider sim...for example WIND or 3
Try my TIM sim in another GT-I9300 always with CM11 temasek unofficial.(waiting for a my friend with the same device and rom)
Weird:
it seems that this problem is only in my home because from my workplace (another radiocell) i'm reachable also under wifi connection.

my guessing is that the problem is the sim card, probably damaged. you should try another sim card.
done yet, I wrote it I the "tried list" ... Another tim sim and the problem rest
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

yeah sorry, it was late and i was tired, didn't see that. well, it might be the antenna of the phone, you should go to a gsm service, they have the necessary stuff to point out the problem, even if it's hardware or software.
Could even be the sim holder .
I'm thinking that is an ANDROID or Modem problem related...specially with TIM communication protocols.
Is like if where there is a low signal,and you use Wi-Fi...device don't give energy to radio antenna,but to wi-fi. When you call or sending SMS,the antenna takes more power and the device is now reachable...
I should try a real old ROM with a real old modem...ufff...is all so boring -.- (i know,exist nandroid,but still boring is!)

if you have a rom with modem that changed your efs partition to efs v2 and try to flash a rom that has modem with efs v1 you will loose your IMEI and S/N , unless you have a backup of efs v1.
