Here is my story I've got a SGS2 GT-I9100 and I'm in the USA. This phone is un branded. I was using... Everything worked as it was the local cell provider setup.
GB 2.3.4
I9100UHKI1 Baseband
2.6.35.7-I9100UHKG7-CL417954 [email protected] #2 Kernel
Gingerbread.UHKG7
I installed ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB just to see what the excitement was about. Most everything worked except MMS messaging (send/RCV photos) SMS worked though. This is not a APN problem, Checked, double check and verified with provider. I was also getting FC's on deleting contacts from the address book. Because of the issues with ICS I wanted to return to GB 2.3.4. Since the phone was unrooted when I upgraded to ICS I was unable to create a backup on the SD card. With the Multiupload site down I'm unable to get back to the original build.
I've installed GB 2.3.4, UHKI1 Baseband, UHKI2 kernel, UHKI2 Build from the samfirmware site. Now neither SMS or MMS works, I get an error saying it failed and "message not sent" in the notification area. Not a APN problem either. I'm thinking it is a CSC problem?
So has anyone out there have a solution for me? Some combination of files to flash via Odin to get the phone working again? Mirror sites?
Sorry for being wordy, wanted to give you all the info up front to help you help me. I don't care what I end up with, stock or rooted as long as everything works.
(Fixed)
After a restore, I could receive SMS messages but sending SMS would fail. Under settings for the message application there is setting for Message Center number that was empty. After a lot of searches here and else where, I found anoutside link "Nexus-s fails to send SMS". I'd post the link if it could. This did not work for me may help others, more searching, found the SMSC number for my carrier, just a phone number, entering this into the spot provided worked, I can now send & receive SMS again. How did this happen? don't know, maybe one of the several kernels i tried or something I did corrupted it??
Off to do another backup now.
If you've got a nandroid backup just do a full wipe and restore the gingerbread backup you have. ICS is still quite buggy, a more stable build should be out in a couple of weeks or so.

what above said
or you could just try flash a custom kernel through odin so you get CWM then flash any custom rom to see if that fixes it

I have a Samsung Vibrant-
I flashed Simply Stock 2.3.5 to it, loved it
but,,, what I did not know, is I was not receiving calls...
It seems as this is an issue that others have seen, what was / is the fix?
thanks!!
I am also having the same issues after flashing
Simply Stock 2.3.5 with a simply.stock.JVS.Talon.kernel. I even tried the bullet kernel and I get the same emergency calls only error "No service- selected network (my network) unavailable). the only time this Simply Stock 2.3.5 rom works for me is when I use its stock kernel.
ok I finally figured it out,
after odin you have to flash either "Asgard_32_0821signed" rom or "Malice_v5_EDT" and then you have to flash on top of either of these 2 roms simple stock 2.3.5
do this if it helped me I see no reason it wont help u.
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.
Hello fellas am new owner of this note at&t version. I have it working with straight talk.. work flawless for 2 weeks no problems what so ever until I started removing some application with a uninstaller which also remove system application.. anyway suddenly I couldn't send just txt " SMS".. I do received incoming SMS and mms and I also can send mms.. but for some reason I can't do the SMS.. well. I installed new roms different version ics. Ginger bread and so on and it's the same thing. No outgoing SMS.. I did full wipe in every rom. What I noticed that cww everything that I go to advance options and hit clean cache dalvik won't do it.. keep saying that extension it's an error or something like that.. any clue guys will help Mr a lot.. I have an evo 4g for 2 years and I have never come across with problem like these.. ty for ur help
Well i would say you could always go back to stock and it will add back the APK you deleted that stopped the mms sending.
are you on ICS?
are one of the apk's you deleted the OmaCP.apk - i know that can cause issues with the sms/mms side of your phone.
in the future before you start deleting/removing apks from your phone go into your system/app and copy that whole folder somewhere on your phone or your PC and will always be able to get back the apk that is causing the issues.
thats just my 2 cents.
i was thinking about go back to stock.. and the answer is no, i didnt delete the app that u mentioned.. and thanks for the advice of back up the sys folder.. i have never had a problem b4.. but ****ing up is the way u learned the hard way.

didn't work.. everything is back to stock. i used odin and the stock att Rom. the phone is like a virgin again and keep doing the same. now ill swap the sim card with my friend tomorrow. maybe is the account... damn it.....!!!!!
Well after checking firmware n updates I noticed after I went back to stock rom. The kernel is. 2.6.35.11 and nothing else.. so I was reading to get back to root but I need more number s and letters on that kernel in order to get root.. maybe just maybe it's the modem version or the kernel screwing my SMS and mms... Any one knows how to check the modem version and how I can get the right kernel...? I tried superoneclick 2.3.3 to put my note
back to root but after 2 tries got stuck on step 7 for about 15-20 minutes so I need another method.. and the other methods asked for the full kernel version... Any idea or help it's appreciate

So you went back to stock GB??
and are still having the same sms issues?
have you messed with any of the APN settings on the phone. and also have you tried a thridparty app to run your messaging. like go sms or handsent to see if you can send them going through that app?
and if you want to root on GB, go download Da G's OC kernel it comes with Root, just flash it through Odin. he also has a kernel with no OC and just root if you dont like to OC....there in the Dev section.
or move to ICS and ALL of the roms come with Root. i would be less concerend with root and more worried about getting your sms going....rooting is simple.

no I haven't messed around with apn and I tried go SMS and itsvthe same thing.. I went back to stock gb with stockatt. Tar. And it was the same thing.. i was reading on other threads that many ppl are not able to send SMS or MMS. This has something to do with radio or modems. But they are stating that some of SMS or mms are not going thru.. I also installed via cwr the zip with the stock radio and nothing.. it's the same problem.. I'm running out of patience and option here..!! I also put it back on root to keep trying something different and still no luck...
This what I tried yesterday... I swap a sim card with another att note user... With the att sim card on my note I was able to send mms and SMS.. and the other note had the same problem with my sim Card he was not able to send txt or mms . so I call customer service and they run all the test possible from their end and everything seem good.. (over an hour on the Ph) so I told them about my sim swapping and they decided to send me a new sim card.. just n case mine was faulty.. hope this fix my problem. I'll keep updates as soon as I get my new sim .

that would be a good thing, if the whole time it was just your sim card.....easier fix than trying to track down an unknown problem in the phone itself.
hope it works out spider.
I had the same problem when I was running GB with a couple of the roms out there. I never had it happen in ICS but I believe it was related to freezing some of the ATT bloat since that is when I would start running into problems.
Ok.. I got my new sim card today.. I installed and works. . Yes mms and sms are up and running..i don't want to blame the Rom. but something happen right after the installation.. Good new is that my phone is up n running. .!!!!
Hello,
Hopefully someone can help
S3 was locked to three UK network.
Odin flashed generic newer UK firmware.
Decided to hard reset via buttons.
(noticed a message about multi cnc being applied)
Once it had gone in to the set up in ICS it keeps saying
" Messaging stopped and had to close " or something along those lines.
Tried to reset again and it wont clear.
Anyone know how to fix?
Should I odin flash the firmware again or do I have to go back to original three firmware file, then reflash the new one?
Also note my handset is now network unlocked using code supplied by provider.
Look forward to any assistance and advice, thanks
I had this problem when flashing a custom rom. The trick is to flash without wiping data, albeit this issues has been cleared up in newer versions.
Not sure what to advise if you're just after the firmware... download a custom rom and make a backup of the sms feature.
Hangon I may have the sms fix still on my phone from when I had this issue I'll upload if I can find it. Make a nandroid first though as I can't be sure it'll be transferable as I used it on the XXALE8 firmware (the only one at the time)
Edit: I no longer have it, can't find it anyway. You'll have to ask indie from omega and see if he still has the file. The one you're looking for is called "sec_csc.zip" I'm sure he'd remember if you tell him its for the sms fix.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

similiar problem
Hi guys, I have a problem which is similar but not after a custom rom install. My messaging app just closes when I go to add a contact button to the right. Any ideas. thanks.

My Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 LTE was running Liquid Smooth 2.37. Recently I lost notification and phone ring sounds and now I have lost baseband and I have no cell signal.
In the phone's 'about' section the baseband field is empty. Android version showing is 4.3.
I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, first to try and get back the sounds and then baseband, I have been playing around with various custom and stock ROMS and kernals to get full functionality back.
I've read tons of help posts but nothing works.
Here's a few of the things I've tried with results in brackets, used CWM recovery to restore working backup (failed 'unsupported file' message),
reflashed kernals (neither Boeffla nor yank555 have worked, wipe/data restore in CWM (it still takes me back to 4.3 with no baseband).
I thought I'd re-flash back to the phone's original stock ROM using Kies, but the weird thing is Kies doesn't restore, it upgrades to the latest 4.3 ROM which fails to restore baseband.
I wanted to send the phone back to the 4.1.2 it came with or was it an earlier ROM? I can't remember as I didn't note it down, I bought the phone second hand, it arrived loaded with a stock ROM for Australia's Optus network. I promptly rooted and flashed the phone to Liquid Smooth and the phone ran fine for months on the 2 Degrees Network in New Zealand.
Anyway, I must have tried reflashing a dozen stock roms I've found online using Odin. Some of them partially work, I get sound back, (it seems only the 4.3 ones work, with the german I9305XXUEMKC reliably loading - it even gives me a NZ english install option) but don't restore the baseband
. All the ones I've found for Optus are rejected, I get the 'unsupported device' or status 7 error in Odin.
So I decided to flash one that works, install cwm, root the phone and try installing different baseband kernals to fix the (probably corrupt) efs.
But I'm going round in circles trying to root the phone. Using CWM, supersu shows as successfully installed, but when I boot into the OS root checker shows my phone is not rooted. Knox seems to obstruct every attempt I make to disable it as well. I keep getting these 'knox stopped etc...from working messages'.
I'm sorry if my description is a bit confusing, I'm happy to clarify anything.
I'm at my wits end. I want to try everything before I have to ship the phone off to a repairer who may charge me hundreds of dollars to fix the phone.
This is I9300 not I9305 Q&A
Use the report button and ask a mod to move to the correct forum .
I can offer no help as i fail to understand the post .
As said before you are in wrong place and are not giving us a clear question to answer. If its a root problem there are fixes for it. Status 7 error is discussed in many threads. Flashing MG4 modem fixes efs problem. Downgrading causes problem. Learn to search before making a thread.
