Hi I am currently a T - Mobile customer and when I originally bought my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the company, I thought I could take advantage of using both the T - Mobile network and 2G services of the T - Mobile Orange Network.
However after successfully using it for the first 2 weeks, after my KE7 firmware update, I have an unbranded phone, it did not connect to the network anymore, stating, even if I manually select T - Mobile Orange in GSM mode only, Cannot registor with network, Unable to connect, then it states it is registered and yet I have emergency calls only stated and not either T - Mobile or even T - Mobile Orange. Then it will not connect to either network manually until I restart the phone.
I have since flashed my phone with various other firmwares, am currently on cognition s2 1.13, it's a great Rom, and still the same thing occurs.
I have contacted T - Mobile, they can't fix it, I have took the phone to a Samsung Repairer and they couldn't see anything wrong, stating it was a fault with Orange, as the guy in the shop's T - Mobile branded Galaxy s2 did the same.
Anyone solved the mystery, or is able to explain the issue to me?
It's doing my nut in, I have had phones like these for years, flashed them and enjoyed them, and usually work things out for myself, my last phone was an Samsung I8910, which was great with custom firmware support and I must say the Galaxy s2 is by far my favourite ever phone, but even my Samsung Omnia I8910 works properly on T - Mobile and Orange, and the latest and greatest phone won't!!
Have you tried flashing a different modem? Seeing as the cognition rom is based on I9100XXKG1, I know of a couple of forum members that have had trouble with the KG1 modem, and had to revert to the KF2 modem.
Worth a try? It won't wipe you phone of anything daft either.
List of official modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Before you do anything, can you dial*#1234# and just check what phone software is installed?
Thanks for the option Unfortunately I have tried the KE2, KE7, KF2 and KG1 Modems now, none of them have worked. It is really bizaar as the bloody thing works really well on T - Mobile, when there is coverage, plus the 3 and H is great speeds when they are in coverage, it just won't switch to Orange

one moment, I'm on t-mobile aswell.
text YES to 2121.
Homer moment: Doh, you cant text can you?
Just for reference, I'm with Orange and in my network list I have both "Orange" and "Orange and T-Mobile". I can connect to the Orange one fine, but not to the other one. It does switch to T-Mobile sometimes though. I've seen it do it.
Hi again, I have text yes to 2121, and it was working on my phone before. So yours has no issues then?

No, but I remember I used to have an everythingeverywhere app in data/private, which is no longer there.
I just texted yes to 2121 and now it lets me register on orange aswell as t-mobile.

Cheers for the information
Unfortunately if I let mine automatically switch network, it switches to emergency calls only if I am out of a t mobile network range, not orange, and it used to switch to orange no problem
Then when it is in emergency calls only, I have to turn it on and off to get it to work at all, as it will not register back to T mobile
My last attempt......when you go into wireless/mobile network settings, is data roaming ticked?

Yes it is, cheers for all your help. It's very frustrating and I can't fathom it out, so cheers for trying yourself
You don't need data roaming ticked in order to use Orange. T-mobile and Orange are both considered 'home' networks.
I'm on T-Mobile without data roaming ticked and it switches automatically to Orange without any issues. Might be worth phoning t-mobile up and seeing if there's some sort of issue with your account.
I installed Lite'ning Rom and found that I couldn't connect to Orange on my unlocked tmobile sim. Turned out that I had the "com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission" apk missing.
Downloaded it here:- http://www.contentsd.nl/apk/SimServicePermission.apk
and installed it with titanium and registered ok on orange.
Hope this helps.

Hiya guys. Sorry to jump on this thread but I am having the same issue as OP. I'd just like to give you an update on what I know so far. It is a nightmare trying to speak to someone at T-Mobile who actually knows whats going on, but I was persistent and got through to an engineer who said that they are having transmitter problems in east anglia and surrounding areas...not sure if you are in that area or not. Unfortunately all the engineer said is that they are working hard to a. figure out what the problem is ang b. fix it! He also could not give me an ETA and said that the only way to get back onto the network is to reboot the phone a couple of times. Not ideal, but I though it was something to do with the VillainRom that I flashed...so here's stupid me flashing stock, bricking/unbricking the phone etc etc only to find out later that its not the phone...on the plus side I have amazing battery life now haha who would have thought ey!
Anyways, hope this information is useful to you all.

It is not a ROM issue - it is a T-Mobile/Orange fault

Absolutely right Steph, it is not ROM related.
T-Mobile have acknowledged that there is a problem with registering T-Mobile customers on T'Orange cell towers.
I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks now (also in East Anglia), and after a lot of perseverance I got transferred to Level 2 support (Technical Support - not Customer Support) last Monday. They said there was a 'rectifier problem' on a mast in Henny Street, near Sudbury, Suffolk at the end of June and it has had a knock-on effect on other masts in the area. It was/is a level 2 priority for fix.
I wasn't happy with that explanation as it happens all over Suffolk!
Still with the issue on Thursday, I called them again and got straight through to Level 2 as they had marked my account as an on-going problem which Customer Support (in the Philippines) couldn't handle.
While explaining in detail the 'Your SIM does not allow you to connect to this network' problem the Guy I was talking to received an internal notification that they were aware of issues registering on T'Orange cells, that they'd known about it for 72 hours, have no idea what is causing it, and no eta to fix.
I've been using a forced connection to T'Orange for the last couple of days (poor T-Mo signal in house which always caused it to hunt for T'Orange anyway). Downside of course is that it won't get a 3G signal when forced into T'Orange mode.
Still happening today so need to give them another prod...
Oh, and I found this thread searching for answers - I don't have a Galaxy S, I have a Desire. Further proof that it isn't ROM related.
I'll update when I find out more from them.
Aaron
Just spoken to them again, problem is still on-going, they are still investigating and looking for more samples of the problem to try and isolate the issue. In light of that I would suggest anyone else having this to phone them and ask for Technical Support and register the fault - the more samples they have, the better chance of getting it resolved.
In other words, they still don't know what's causing it or when they'll fix it.
Hi guys I got a big problem, hope u can help.
I have this phone for a couple month already, when I was still running stock I discovered my cell phone would tell me I got no signal. Turning on air plane mode and then turning it off didn't help to get back signal. So I had to turn off the phone and turn it back on to get back my signal. Problem is I never know when it happens until my wife asks me y my cell phone is switched off. So I went ahead rooting it and I flashed a rom on it. But problem isn't gone. I still lose signal but on this rom it shows me full bars, only cannot make phone calls,SMS,and gprs. Tells me no network or no sim card is inserted. I always have to turn off and turn it back on. Now that it is rooted with whatever firmware I can't bring it to Samsung store to fix
please any suggestions?

Sounds more like a carrier problem. I'd ring them. Check your APN settings too.
Hi,
I have similar issues. Doesn't matter where I am and how good the network coverage is on all other phones around, my SGS2 keeps changing the coverage icon, from 1 to 4 "sticks" of indicator, or to no coverage state (crossed circle icon).
Sometimes the wireless is not working also, or juts gets very weak signal, though the signal is good on other devices near by.
When I try to turn data network (by pressing the power button and selecting data network activated from the pop up) sometimes it's not even showing the data network icon in the system bar (top of the screen), it's like being disabled data network or something.
I can answer a call and stay on conversation for no longer than a minute, then the signal goes dead and the phone just freezes, when I try to tap red button to end the call - no reaction, I have to turn the phone off.
When I try to make a call it just says "dialling" for ages with no result and eventually the phone freezes, so I have to turn it off and back on again.
Sometimes it turns off itself though the battery was showing almost full icon.
I went to O2 store, they gave me new SIM card, but it didn't help, so it's not a SIM issue.
I did a full (hard) reset - no help.
The guy from the O2 store told me, that I can root my phone, and I will not loose the warranty (I purchased the phone only one month ago), only thing I need to do is to revert it back to original state before bringing it (in case of hardware replacement).
But if it is not a software issue at all, so what's the point of rooting and having all the hustle, then reverting, etc... Can there be some hardware issues? I don't know: antenna, RAM, CPU, whatever???
I hope I've explained everything clearly enough. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
What firmware are you on have you tried to Upgrade via KIES .
Rooting will void warranty and will also increase the custom rom counter from zero . Yes they can be reset in most cases .
Rooting will not fix anything at all .
Network is first check are you getting problems at all locations .
When in the O2 store did they check the signal ???
Choice return to service centre
Flash a stock Samsung firmware via XDA possible to also try a different modem via XDA .
None of these will fix hardware problem .
Personally i would factory reset the phone and check all the network details are correct on the phone then return to service .

when you have this problem check if you have an imei (*#06#) if the response is empty then you have to reflash...
Hi all again,
after posting my previous post I phoned my friend during a lunch break at work. We had a quite long conversation and the quality was perfect. Then on my way home I turned on data network and enabled GPS (LOL), then launched navigation app and it took me home without any bugs (I know my way home though I did it only for phone testing).
Now back home, sitting in my room and my SGS2 starts to fool around again: unable to turn on data network, poor wireless signal (but it's good on my PC), the network coverage icon turns into "no signal" state and comes back to normal again all by itself.
I will definitely test my phone again tomorrow on my way to work and in the office. But it seems like there's something wrong with the place that I live. I've moved in recently and must admit, that all my problems with the phone started only then. And I didn't noticed any bugs while at work or anywhere down town.
Meanwhile is there any way to scan/check the area around my flat? Maybe there's something wrong with the in house router, or maybe to many routers in surrounding flats, or some other equipment/hardware things messing up, or just a mysterious house blocking O2 network and hacking the phone LOL??
The only strange thing is that I'm having not just a network/coverage/wireless issues, but the phone freezes, battery full-empty-full-empty status randomly, etc...
BTW, my details:
Model: GT-I9100 (not a I9100G)
PDA: XWKJ1
PHONE: XXKI4
CSC: O2UKJ1
Android version: 2.3.5
Updated via KIES about a month ago, was working good until now. KIES says that at the moment I have the latest firmware.

So I managed to flash my galaxy s ii the other day because I was having issues with my internet and wanted to find out if it was samsungs firmware causing the issue, or the phone, or just at&t.
Well long story short, it flashed fine, but same horrible speeds. At this point I want to take the things back to at&t and tell them to give me a new one, but obviously the second they see it rooted they wont help anymore.
So I went into the boot menu and told it to restore, that seems to work fine, but then when it tries to make calls there is no sound at all not even a dial tone, but everything else seems to work fine.
I had this issue with several other roms also. I tried finding the at&t samsung gingerbread firmware for my device, but all I can find is firmware for other countries.
Is there an U.S AT&T gingerbread firmware/roms for the galaxy s ii on here that I somehow missed? Thanks.
Also mine appears to be a GT-i19100, I saw some info about reflashing it but all of them had like letter at the end of the model and I dont see that anywhere on mine.
Actually I pulled the battery and it appears its a SGH-I777, so I guess im in the wrong thread, sorry

So I went to the link, followed the guide on the site and it didnt work. When I open up odin and hit start it does nothing. I tried using the zip file in the boot menu to install the rom and that didnt work either, just failed.
I eventually went into recovery mode and this worked, but at the boot screen I still have the yellow exclamation mark and it says I9100, is there any way to get rid of that?

In any case you'd probably be better off sticking to i777 ROMs.
Im actually more confused than I was before, I actually just switched from AT&T to tmobile. Now my phone can make calls fine, but I cant get on a data network.
Any clue why?

You still using the i777?
My guess is that your APNs are still set to AT&T.
Also, even if you do get mobile data working, you'll probably be limited to Edge speeds since the two networks use different frequencies for mobile data.

And thats something that cant be changed? I learned a long time ago to take what sales people say with a grain of salt, they were telling me since both the tmobile galaxy s 2 and the at&t version are both 4g phones it will work if flashed right.
But then again they didnt even know what data throttling is
I found a section in my phone in the mobile network settings for network operators, and tmobile is listed, once they finally port my number over in 24 hours I will give that a shot and see if it works. Other wise I will probably be buying the htc one.

Nope can't be changed on the i777. The i727 can apparently be flashed to work on T-mobile's 4g, but not the i777. It's a hardware issue.
I have not moved or changed locations or anything but after updating the newest samsung firmware (on friday) my phone is now 100% of the time roaming. I've checked the network settings and it says Tmobile in there as it should (i'm on Tmobile in america with the i9300).
Is there something i did wrong? I updated it with Kies, what can i do to downgrade back to the old firmware if i get tired of this roaming business?

I am not sure, but its funny my friend has the BLUE i9300 bought 3 weeks after mine, and he was not getting a notification of the update via kies either, but it did give it to me and my phone the exact day it was out (uk firmware).
about changing the modem, will I need to root for that? i prefer to run stock for now..
that's bizarre but it probably has something to do with the phone being an internation model with a uk csc, but i've used my S1 from the uk several times in the u.s. with t-mobile and never had that problem .....can only assume it is a bug

Yea becuase when the phone arrived it worked great (even had a minor firmware upgrade the day i opened which was like june 15th ish or a few days later) and still worked great, no Roaming at all, then with last weeks update now it roams
It's worth pointing out that changing the modem will not work as a valid solution in this case. If one uses a non-LFB modem with the LFB ROM, the mic doesn't get used. One would have to also go to an older rom in addition to a different modem.
I'm having the same exact issue.
Need a solution.
Tried a factory reset. No dice.
Hi guys,
Didn`t find answer for my questions, so decided to link myself to similar topic.
Since the SW update I have done today my phone doesn`t lock to a network
When I go to settings to find a carrier manually, It takes about 2 minutes to find 4-5 networks available around, I am picking o2 UK (as I have a contract with them) and it says : Registering to o2 UK which takes about 4 minutes. After this it says : Emergency calls only and there is no status bars at all.
Master reset didn`t help.
What steps should I take ?
For you reference :
- Phone took from CPW in UK as sim free
- SIM Card used is from o2 UK (contract)
- I don`t want to flash anything, I would like to stay to stock ROM (if possible)
UPDATE : Chosen `Select Automaticly` allowed the phone to find signal, could make a call etc, but after 30 minutes lost signal again....

on AT&T / same firmware, no roaming issues.
Any fixes for this issue?

If u do not wish to root then your only option is to take it back to the store, so they can fix, u bought the best smart phone available on the market and u can't make phone calls or browse internet(without wifi).
To my understanding, still no resolution on this..
My friends phone after being updated (he just got his first update after having the phone a month) is now roaming as well.. So this is definately something either with our network (t-mobile) or the recent updates.
I've just started living with it, but it sucks becuase it does silly things like makes me click 'download image' when someone sends me a picture message in text...
with the few bugs could be ironed out of this phone kinda frustrating.
I do have similar problems since I installed an update 2 weeks ago. at home the phone says it is roaming at work approx 6 miles away and with a different station I am connecting to it is fine.

Thats interesting, no matter where I go i get roaming. Though a few times I have gotten the 'roaming' warning popped up, so maybe i went out of roaming and didnt know it? I'll keep a closer eye on it.
It is very frustrating and annoying. I've called T-Mobile and they said they would open a case with Samsung. If you guys could call too, we might get a fix.
I really suspect it is something in the CSC. Maybe if we could get the T Mobile SIII CSC and apply it?

My suspicion is wrong. I pulled the TMB CSC from a T999 ROM and manually copied it to /system/csc/TMB, then used the CSC Selector App to change to TMB.
No dice. Still in Roaming.

If you want help you must provide relevant info - and also be able to think a little for yourself!
Have you done anything special to the phone before that? Like programming a ROM in Odin?
Is the IMEI in place?
im new to the s3 and dont have a clue about what anything is. ive never done anything to it.....

Hi I think this may be an issue in some parts of the world, but not all. I have regular signal cuts like this in South Africa, but generally only when I'm in an area with weak cell signal. My wife also has a S3 LTE and gets the same signal cuts. When it happens I reboot my phone and it's fine again. I even went back to stock to test and it still happens on stock, just as it did when I first got the phone in November 2012.
I've been on AOSP roms the last few months and then it was fine, no signal cuts. Same with my wife's phone. Now I'm back on stock and the signal cuts are back, albeit not so often anymore, maybe one or two a week. I'm going to run stock for a few weeks and see if the issue persists.
What modem are you using? Have you changed it or is it the same modem that came with your phone?

a MODEM IS A MODULATOR DEMODULATOR . basically the bit that connects to the network .
Modem = Baseband .
\Suggest one factory reset two if that fails service centre and three read the basic faqs and guides .
