Emergency Calls Only? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, after i flashed Oxygen 2.3-2.3.1-2.3.2(In that order) In CWM i lost the ability to make calls, receive calls, text and receive text. I have tried by flashing back to stock rom via odin, still nothing. Though the signal is full.
The IMEI under the battery is the same as in the phones info menu. And ive my sim in other phones and it works, and ive tried other sims in the my S2, still doesnt work.
What can i do guys?

What do you mean by full wipe? Wiped dalvik cache, cache partition and data/factory reset in recovery

Sorry, I mean wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition. Or if you have backup of stock ROM, you can restore it.

In CWM? Yes i do have and have already done one

I don't know then. I said everything what could help you. Maybe is something with SIM. Or try to flash other FW.

What's the imei being displayed? You might have a corrupted EFS.

The IMEI is the same behind the battery, as it is in Settings>About phone
359651042337417

Good news. It's not a corrupted EFS. What do you get when you enter #*1234# into the dialer?

Its says "Mobile network not available"

Any news? Same situation.. emergency calls only..
I tried to restore efs folder but I have not solved..
Imei dispalyed is correct.
Service State: Out of Service.
Roamning: Not Roaming
Mobile Network State: Disconnected.
when the phone boots it ask the sim pin code.
but emergency calls only..

Whoops. It should be *#1234# and automatically take you to a screen giving the PDA, PHONE, CSC and build info values.

Same problem here?
my IMEI is ok.
How did you solve it?
My SGSII is not rooted.
*#1234# gives:
PDA: I9100BUKJ3
PHONE: I9100BUKI1
CSC: I9100SFR§KI3
Build info:mon oct 17 14:37:12 KST 2011

Enter network settings APN etc manually and test .

APNs are right (set manually)

[Q] Confused After Firmware Update

I tried to update my SGS2 to 2.3.4 by flashing Frankenstein XXKG2 and then proceeded to root the phone back again with CF-Root JP_XSG_KG2. But then it had data connecting problems and wifi only worked, even after trying to set my on APN settings. So I tried KG3 as well for both of them, it didn't work either. I think I tried to recover what I had before using CMW but now I have no idea what is going on with my phone. The phone no longer is able to connect to data or even call anymore.
PDA: 19100XXKG2
PHONE: I9100XXKG2
CSC: 19100XEUKD1
I don't even know if i'm running 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 anymore. Can someone help pls?
It's a Bell phone so it was originally UGKG2.
Match your IMEI from the settings menu to the one behind the battery cover. s See if they are the same.
When this happens recovering you have to do a full wipe before restoring from backup

I tried that. None of the 3 things change.
Data still doesn't work but the phone is connected.
Is there a way to get back to 2.3.3? Can i download the firmware from somewhere?

Try to flash the rom again.
And do a full whipe before and after.
Maybe the flash is gone wrong

[Q] Emergency calls only after flashing custom ROM

Hi,
Have searched around the forum looking for a solution to my problem. I have seen many threads about the same situation that I am in, however none of them have given me an answer.
I cannot make calls/texts or use mobile data.
I am on 3 network and can confirm that the SIM is working fine as I have used it in another phone.
The IMEI number remains intact, and I had made a backup of the EFS prior to making any changes to the phone.
Signal bars appear however a message saying 'Emergency calls only' does also.
Puzzled as to what this problem is,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
which ROM did you flash?
Did it include a modem?

Have done a restore and still nothing has changed. I though that if the efs was corrupt, then my serial and imei would be also?
"No sim card" error is not solved yet (27/02/13)
Same problem here. Problem is reported in other threads with different situations. Some were lucky and just managed to get rid of it by re-inserting the sim card but most are stuck with it. Wondering if it's not an issue with ICS/JB

Change the csc with an app of the market and set it to your region. That might work.

I had the same problem till I ditched TWRP for CWM. My I717 seems to like ClockworkMod better. Just couldn't get TWRP to flash the modem correctly. *#06# will give you the "Null Null" IMEI message if you have the same problem as me. Use Kies to recover and initialize the device, its under "Tools". When done you will be on JB with proper IMEI. Flash CWM through odin and go from there.
**EDIT**
Turns out that the problem I was having might have been because of outdated modem files. The issue is resolved for me with the modems at the following link. 4g lte has never been this fast before these drivers. Fast and stable, be sure to give the OP a thank you.

I've been having the same issue. I started with Stock, went to CWM ver 6, CM 10.1. Decided to flash a modem, and then it would say unknown baseband / no phone number / no IMEI. After trying many modems and restores, I have restored through KIES back to factory as of now.
If anyone has an idea, it would be appreciated.
I live in Florida the only way I get 4g LTE is with stock modem...I used to have the same issue...so I just keep it stock...

Yes. The IMEI and serial number are intact.
When I call on that number, I can hear a ring.
But phone doesn't notify!
Have you cleared the cache (and dalvik if rooted)?.
Factory reset?.

Yes. I tried data, cache, dalvik wipes.
Nothing helps.
Will going back to ics help?
I have the efs backup. But it's v1
Usual reason a phone is on old firmware is the efs had been badly repaired and won't work with v2 firmwares.
