Hey guys.
Got a few problems with my GS2 I don't know what has caused it, was working fine checked my voicemail and then it stopped working?
on my pull down notification bar i have "emergency calls only", If i pull out my Sim the phone knows there is no Sim in there, and if i put it back in i can copy all my contacts from Sim card to phone so the card reader is fine.
Even though it says Emergency Calls only, if i dial 911/999 It says "Number is out of service"?
If i turn on the Internet (3G) My Internet will turn on but i will not get any 3G icon along the top of the bar?.
I'm thinking of re-installing the latest Android 2.3.5? but i have no idea of what i need
If people could help me out! i would be very great full!
Under Settings --> About phone --> Status, is your correct IMEI shown?

How can i tell if its the "correct imei" ?
**EDITT** on the phone it matches with the one that is on the battery!
**BUMP** Anyone?
Good thing is you still have your imei.. Try a fresh flash, maybe it will work.. Bdw, can you see your baseband version?

Yeah can see all that
Android - 2.3.5
Baseband - i9100XXKI4
Kernal - 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKJ1-CL647431 - Is this the right one? for that baseband? I'm not sure if i flashed the kernal correctly?
I flashed the kernal through ODIN in the PDA Section? is that correct?
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.XWKJ1
That's correct.. How about checking your sim if you put it right.. Alot of people sometimes put the sim in the wrong decision or fliped it upside down and didn't realized it.. It happened to me once

So took it back to the shop and out of a good will since they did not have another GS2 I got a HTC Sensation XL for a extra 20£
So im not with the GS2 Community anymore
huh? How did you get your hands on that stolen SGS2? Second hand seller?

Bought it from a store called cex, so never again will I be buying from these shops again
I have the international GS3 and got it unlocked with a code and it worked fine on Orange network, while the phone is on Three, so then i flashed Omega 7 and rooted and it will no longer detect the Orange network, its just a circle with a line through on the status bar.
I thought maybe it wiped the unlocked but checked and it still says the phone is unlocked so i thought i would test and put back in the Three sim and it worked fine and then i had a old pay as you go o2 network sim and put that it and it gets a signal and the option to top up.
So i thought maybe the sim is faulty, and put it into my iPhone 4S and it gets signal and reads it, i followed the instructions and revered back to Stock to see if that fixed it but still the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas why or how to fix this?
Check your IMEI number

If your phone lost it's IMEI number, it will revert back to a default-number.
Some networks still accept the phone with that number but most don't.
Just checked with the three card in usig *#06# and a imei comes up so it can't be that or should I t do it with the not working orange card in?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
IMEI is your device ID. Does it match the IMEI-number on the box or under the battery of your phone?
If not, you're on a generic one.
Yep its the same as the one on the box. I hm

Try another Sim and also check the Sim is locked into the receptacle properly.

I've tried two other network Sims and both work as well as the orange Sim works in my I phone.
Weird thing is when the orange sim. Is in the phone it shows the apn correct for orange but I just get the circle with line through where the signal should be.

CSC includes Orange ????
Network settings entered manually if not .
jje
Your SIM might be locked to your iPhone's IMEI or does it work in other devices?
I've only heard a few reports of such practices and none so far with Orange (regardless of country)
As above....check apn settings
I checked apn under three and the orange wasn't there. I put in orange sim and three apn is gone and orange are there and the correct settings but still the same stop sign looking symbol where network signal should be.
Not sure what csc is.
It worked before in the g3 before I flashed to the omega rom so don't think it could be locked to a phone

phone's imei doesnt match true imei
hello,
what does it mean that the imei given by the phone doesnt match the original imei written on the back of the phone?
If for some reason the rom you put on your phone screws up the IMEI and replaces it with a generic IMEI you now have a different IMEI than before. This was happening with the SGS2's a while back when flashing certain roms... Was fixed pretty fast and haven't heard about it happening again BUT there's always a chance and no guarantees...
Is there anyway to fix it back without any backups?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It's actually happening quite a lot with the S3, especially the US-versions
Some people have claimed it to have been fixed when flashing a Stock ROM through Odin, but should it not be fixed then you'll need to have it repaired by Samsung.

There have been a few users claiming to have fixed it without Efs backups in the sgs2 forum (from fading memory). Have a search there, as any method will /should be similar
Worth a search/try, or as posted above, will need to return to Samsung

Use "k-tool" to backup your imei and keep it in a safe place(upload to dropbox and PC) and use APN manager to backup apn settings. Btw is a brilliant app to have when traveling
Edit:u can recover your missing imei nr. But be sure to have the original efs folder,especially NV-data.bin most not have tampered with

Did you back up your efs? Check your imei and see if it is correct. Try flashing to a stock through Odin.

Yes I have the correct IMEI.
I do not know the exact stock rom. Could I know it by the IMEI? The phone from SFR France.

Any stock rom should do. And also try to use another SIM card. Your phone may also be network locked. Download galaxsim from play store and check the lock status.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I checked with *#7465625# and it says network lock off. all off.
Does it mean the phone is unlocked. In fact, I tried several stock roms no help. last one is I9300XXBLG6.
Yeah your phone is unlocked. Remove your sd card if you have one. Check your mobile network settings. Different network sims or different Sims but the same network?

I did what you told me. Nothing new. When I click on Setting/Mobile Network/Network operators/Search network, (Searching) flashes for moment and stops with nothing.
Do you have a serial number when u check settings?

Where did you get the phone from?
Samsung Service center is your only option, take the phone box and proof of purchase if you have it.
But run triangle away and go back to the stock rom that you got with the phone

This may be a problem with your SIM reader. If you still have a valid warranty, then send it to Service centre.
If not, then we can try few things first before trying hardware repair.

I don't know if you tried to pull out the simcard and clean the contacts. This was a common issue on the HTC Desire HD and this little fix worked fine.

Updated to Jelly Bean??

Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?
[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

Ok,
so here comes the question my girlfriend always asks me :laugh:
"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?
I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.
Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.
Probably wrong Kernel, happened often to me on my old sensation

What network are you on? I had to go to t mobile web site to get configuration settings sent to phone. All was then ok. You are not providing enough information, Network, whether phone had ever worked, if it has been modified in any way etc.etc.
People here will help you but you really must give as much relevant information as possible
