so i bought a used vibrant off of a guy i know. And it worked perfectly. After a few days the phone just stopped working when i tried to do a factory update. Now the error i get when i try to make a call is "network not available" and where my bars would be it shows a circle with a line through it. I have tried booting on flashed roms and i have tried putting on stock 2.1, i have even tried to put the unlock code in, but nothing works at all!!! tmobile has no clue about anything and just keeps telling me to hard reset or send it in for repair but i have no insurance and i cannot be without a phone!!! please help me asap. i have also tried to go to select network and nothing comes up at all it used to say att and tmobile now nothing?? i am clueless here?!?!?!?! everything else works on the phone just no network as in wifi, market place etc. and i know its not my sim as i just got a new one and tried in my friends vibrant and it worked!
You might need to add the APN manually maybe?
Where you went to search network goto access point names and click on tmobile
The APN should be : epc.tmobile.com
MMSC should be : http:/ /mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMC should be : 310
MNC should be : 260
APN type should be : Internet+MMS
Just a suggestion but you could always just odin back to a factory fresh install. Sounds like the OTA update that you installed hosed something. Are you getting any SIM errors or anything else?
if u can (via wifi or something) download Rom Manager from the market and click on "fix permissions".... see if that helps.
all the settings in the apn are corect as per what the values you typed should be, i have rom manager and tried the quick fix with the permissions, nada, and this is the strangest problem as my sim card is reading as all my sim contacts are showing...so i know the sim card slot is not the issue, and when i tried to flash back to stock using odin 2x now, it still leaves out the calling feature, i was thinking maybe it has to do with the modem in the phone and somehow it got deleted for good unless i reinstall it???

This might be the fix you need. Download JFD tar and 512 pit files. It is a stock build that should completely clean and reinstall all the correct files needed. When you flash into Odin3 make sure repartition is UNTICKED or it will not work! I've had plenty of issues in the past and JFD has resolved every last one of them. J16 helps, but not with everything. Probably because it's just an update file.

What do you mean by it didn't work? The JFD file did not flash successfully or it did flash successfully, but you are still not getting a network signal? If no network signal then I advise you call T-Mobile and tell them you are having gps issues and they should replace the phone as long as it's still under warranty. It's worth a try. The worst they can say is sorry your warranty is expired.

the flash worked as in it was successful but no network still comes up. i called tmobile but since i bought the phone originally not from tmobile they said bring it back to the person you bought it from. tmobile even resent the signal to my phone and i was on the phone for over and our with them doing the same thing over and over, but to no avail. before i throw this phone on ebay for parts.... any other ideas???
ask the guy you bought it from.

did you check if airplane mode was on. i had it sometimes hide in the menus but never said in the notifications
So I checked airplane mode and nothing. It wasn't on that so still no fix. And the guy I got it from said he didn't do anything but I think he bsing. Is there anyone in the new york area that thinks they can fix this. Even if for a little fee it might be worth it?? Let me know asap I need a phone.
i guess no one found a fix for this as i still have the phone and the repair shop i got it back form seems like they didnt know what to do at all, even changed out the sim card slot to no avail.

Does turning flight mode on then off let it come back online? The issue is a werid one, but has been popping up around the forums. I wish I had a concrete answer for you. When you Odin back to stock JFD firmware, it replaces the modem entirely and should set you back to how it came from the factory. If thats not working, I would go get my money back.
Could you fix your problem with the phone? I'm having the same problem here. The weird thing is that my phone is unlocked and it works with an AT&T sim card, when I try my T-mobile card, I can't make calls. I tried everything, flash back to stock with Odin, manual settings, Airplane mode off and on, around 10 different Roms, and a bunch other suggestions but I still can't make it work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

Did you check these settings under Mobile Networks--AccessPoint Names? Do you see T-Mobile US as the selection? If you do, make sure the settings are as described here.
Flashing to stock would have fixed any issues that were software related... sounds like you have a hardware problem. You should odin back to stock.... wipe data/factory reset.... then flash again just to be sure. I've had funky issues that this has helped in the past

Try flashing Eugene's froyo that does not brick, here it is, it might fix the problem. HERE it is, try it, maybe it will work.
I have "mobile networks not available" problem also.
I flashed theese roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1061889
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1021383
Problems are same for theese two problem.
1- There is no mobile network data. When i want to make call, it says, "mobile network not available".
I did the apn fix (set to default, reset etc.) No working.
I opened *#*#4636#*#* and do somethings explaning under "fixing network problems" threads.
Theese all not working.
I'm looking for help. This problem is not about sim card or operator(t-mobile etc.). Because a lot of people have same problem from all world. Every thidsd people using different gsm operators. So, fixing method with sim cards not working. This problem is about rom. Because, when downgrade to Android 2.1 or 2.2, there no problem. Please help.
2- Second problem is powering off it self every 15 minutes. All theese two roms have this problem. Not every time after 15 minutes. Sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 40 minute (after boot).
2.1 and 2.2 also don't have this problem.
Please help.
There is a lot people on world using CyanogenMod. And they are flashing this rom with same method with rom manager.
Why this rom have problem about mobile network and powering of.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I have a problem. My phone and wifi work but as soon as I switch off wifi I cannot get data connectivity.
1. I haven't changed my provider (Blau.de (Germany)). Used the phone before and it worked.
2. I use Siyah-Kernel 4.1.2
3. I use Dual-Boot (Primary is CM9 (stable)/Secondary is MIUI)
3a. When I installed Roms I made a factory reset/format data plus usual wipes
4. Modem installed is LPS (plus I used GetRIL to install right RIL)
5. I checked the APN and everything is as it should be
Any idea why I have this problem? And how do I fix it?
Best,
Medienkind

Check if your APN settings is correct.

Yepp, I have.
And I want to add that I use ExTweaks with the Siyah-Kernel and I put the profile on "battery".
I tried flashing all kinds of ROMs and nothing worked. Went back to cm9rc, tried resurrectionmix etc.. Feeling kinda helpless. Using LQ6 modem atm but no reception. I have installed the right RIL as well.
There are quite some people with this problem but no solution yet.

Does your SIM show 3G in another phone?
I think I'm interested in your case now
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Sometime it's just the sim card btw changing to a new one can improve your data speed by a lot I was getting 2-3mbps with old one and new 5-8mbps
I will try a new Sim card. But I cannot do that right now because people need to phone me.
Anyway, I tried my Sim in a friends phone today and I could not get any reception either. I talked to my provider who just told me to use a different password for the APN settings which did not work.
Looks like I have to try the "new sim card" method.
Blau losing signal
Hi! I have the problem as you with blau.de? Did you manage to solve it? I also lose signal a lot and I have to put the phone in airplane mode and then disable it to get signal. (Or reboot the phone). Does this happen also to you? Which modem are you using?

The blue pain in the ***
I am still waiting for my new sim.

This is funny.
Today I have received my second new sim after the first one I ordered wouldnt work.
I just put it in, restarted my phone and: IT IS STILL NOT WORKING!
Now, I kinda dunno what to do anymore.
And while I was waiting for my new sim I sent my phone to Samsung because of some warranty issues. They repaired it, sent it back and confirmed that all connections are working.
I need a genius!

I've fixed similar issue for many people already.
If your APN settings is currently set, then test your new SIM in another phone.

Well I haven't done this with my brand new sim but I did it with the one I had before and I had no reception.
I believe my APN settings are correct because they were set up through the sim.
But I will try the new card in a different phone and then get back to you.
Btw: I was trying USSD-Codes today and the *111# does not work. I get an error saying: Connection problem or invalid MMI-code.
News: I tried my new card in a HTC Sensation and it didn't work.
Hi I have recently rooted and unlocked my S2. It recognises any sim put into it but if i try to make a call i get 'not registered on network' error. Apart from this the phone is in fully working order. I have set up manually the APN and recognises the sim but still get error.
Any help much appreciated.
Check your IMEI in settings/about phone/status. If it begins with '0044...' (whatever you do, do not post your actual IMEI number here !) you've found the source of your problem.
If your IMEI is OK, two possibilities that spring to mind are the phone is IMEI blocked (check with your carrier) or your carrier hasn't set something up properly at their end (again, check with them).
Hi, thanks for the reply. My IMEI no starts 3533 should this be ok? I also have signal on my phone but in settings says disconnected. I have also tried other sims but have same issue. Do you think i should contact the network or samsung direct or is there anything i can try?
Thanks again

How exactly did you root your phone? Did you flash a new kernel only? Or also a new rom?
Because new roms also tend to flash a new modem in to the phone. Although this is not common, but a modem can change the way the phone talks to the cellphone carrier. Check in your "about" sections under settings whats your "baseband". Note that you can flash a new modem independently from the rom and kernel

OK this makes sense I did flash a new ROM the baseband number is I9100XXLPQ. Does it matter what modem I use and should this match the baseband?
I am having the exact same problem with 2 different carriers, it only shows a 3rd carrier in dominican republic which is claro and i have not been able to test it with a claro sim card, how did you guys resolve the problem.?
Hi,
I am on t-mobile network, my problem is that i don't seem to get EE network on my S3, it will change the between t-mobile n orange not ee. When I insert sim into iPhone then I will get EE network. I have tried unrooted n rooted but no EE.
Now when am on t-mobile network my Internet is really good but as soon it's moves to orange network then Internet is really really slow, I mean 34kbps.
I have contacted t-mobile n tried everything but no luck.
Is this something to do with S3?? Anything I can do? Any advice appreciated

I'm on t mobile/Orange through t mobile, Orange signal is rubbish, never gets h or h+, but as I'm on t mob, it reverts to them by preference I think, only switching to Orange when it looses signal.
I used to be on Orange, and then I always had to go into settings and select network (choice of EE or EE!) So it's a bit hit and miss.
I also sometimes get it showing as t mob in notification draw, and sometimes EE, all very confusing.
EE sucks!!! Nothing wrong with your phone.... I've got Orange and 3UK. With the second one I'm more than happy. Download up to 26Mbps!
I never get EE on my S3....do you ever get EE?
Also is there an easier way to swap networks?

Are y you with orange or t mobile?
I'm with Orange and I've never had a problem in having H+ my carrier signal mostly shows EE.But isn't that all it is? a re branded carrier signal from orange and T-Mobile?
It's weird cos I get EE network when I put sim into iPhone
T mobile
Why is it that I don't get EE anywhere? Also I do get H+ but Internet is awful... Am thinking it's something to do with my S3 or firmware, radio etc

Are you on latest mb5? Are you locked and branded?
Also don't about it displaying ee or not, the other thing you could try is go to tmob website and get the apn settings sent to your phone, they may need updating
Sorry don't know about mb5? How do I find out? Plz
Unlocked n unbranded
I have done t-mobile website but apn setting does NOT come over to my phone for some strange reason... I have entered ee apn setting manually but still no EE network. I am not fussed what network it is on as long as I can get Internet!
Currently limited Internet on orange n full on t-mobile.
Download mb5 here. http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/7693/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/BTU/I9300XXEMB5.html
Flash with Odin, this is the latest UK unbranded
Once you've flashed the MB5 modem & matching RIL, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network operators and make sure 'select automatically' is chosen.
Then go back to mobile networks, access point names and delete all the APNs listed. Then create a new APN but only complete these fields; name: Everywhere APN: Everywhere
Reboot the phone and you should have a better experience.
You can also find a CWM flashable MB5 modem & RIL in kamalmawa's thread:

Yes.... As far as they concerned everything is fine.
Also bear in mind that the network is undergoing a lot of engineering at the moment due to the marrying of the two networks and the LTE network introduction, but for me Orange has always been rubbish so I just select t mob and live with the pain of selecting the network occasionally if it gets hung on Orange

Just flash the zip in recovery, the RIL is included and it will even backup your existing modem. No need to play with root or the ROM, as long as your current ROM is rooted.
Thanks, will try
I'm here because I have a really big problem with my phone, I can't send any message and I can't call because my phone can't registered on GSM or 3G network. I can receive signal from networks but I can't register on it, when I select a network it's showing a message saying : "Can't register on network now, try again later". The strange things is that it just append suddenly, all was perfectly working about 2 years now. It append when I switch preferred network from 3G to 2G. At this point everything was fine, but after that, I reboot the phone and then I was unable to registered on network.
I've try many things, I was on running on CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies so I flash CyanogenMod 10.1 stable but it didn't change anything. I've also tried different radio, I was using XXKDH for 2 years so I tried to switch to XXKG2 but it didn't worked.
I've also tried to put the original Samsung Firmware, it didn't worked.
The problem is really coming from the phone because I tried to use my SIM card on another phone and it worked.
I really lost now and I don't know what to do. Is my antenna broke suddenly?
Please help me.
EDIT:
I find that the IMEI showed by *#06# was different from the one behind my battery. So, like few peoples I have the 0049XXXXX IMEI, I'm actually trying to fix my IMEI with this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/imei-baseband-guide-t1596842 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 but for the moment nothing is working.
I can't find the .nv_data file so I guess I'm just ****'d but I will try something with .bak files and the efsbackup.tar.gz that was on my SD card for no reason. The most interesting thing I found on the efsbackup.tar.gz is this log file on attachment. Anyone now about what append?
I've also find that my imei folder was empty. Is this normal?
