Hello all.
I have an I9100T cellular that for some reason doesn't "want" to make and receive phone calls.
I have put a valid sim card from different phone networks.
It does recognize the sim (The phone is universally unlocked).
I can surf the net and get 3G.
I can make the emergency phone call (It works I tried)
Can't make regular phone calls
1) I have tried a lot of firmwares (Different kernels)
2) I have tried tried official firmware
3) I have tried different Modem firmwares
4) The IMEI of the phone is corrent and functioning
5) The versions I tried were Gingerbread like (2.3.5, 2.3.6)
6) I have added all the radio frequencies in the Service Mode.
Can anyone give me any ideas.
Thanks.
Could it be that the phone is blocked or barred? In Australia there is a website that looks up imei numbers. Not sure if you have something similar in your country.

Hi,
I'm new to both this forum and android, just switched from iphone and already running into the same dead end that I was trying to avoid. Hope to get some suggestions on solutions before trying sell it off again...
I bought a second hand SGSII which is from the UK (T-mobile), and with the help of my brother who has a SGSII and have been on android for a while, I debranded/rooted changed ROM, Kernel and Modem firmware. Before doing this I noted that it did not work with the network I am on but it did with another (both Swedish). After rooting etc I tried again, still does not work (I've tried several sims from my provider, none of them work, still only the other provider). I tried using the Sim Unlock app on Market but it is of no use: It DOES NOT ASK for a sim unlock code on start up. In fact, the unlock app worked and gave me such a code but I cannot use it. Also, I tried plugging in the code using a few of the call codes but it was of no use. And when I put *#SIMLOCK# into the phone dialer everything says 'off'.
Does anyone have any idea of what to do? I cannot go back to Samsung as I do not have a receipt. I hate to think that I have to end my use of Android before it ever started but I have searched my problem for days on end and neither me nor my brother can think of anything.
Any help most appreciated!
Cheers Matt
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100NEKF2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ ninpo at titan #20
Build no: GINGERBREAD.XXKH3
Network not working: Telia (Sweden)
Network working: Comviq (Sweden)
I am confused did you buy an unlocked phone . If not did you get it unlocked .

JJEgan - sorry if I was unclear. I do not actually know for sure, but as I have never seen the screen on startup where it asks for the unlock code I suspect that it must have been. It now - same as it has been for as long as I have had it - works only with one network which has nothing to do with T-mobile (on which is was originally).
I only know of one way of unlocking, i.e. the unlock app on Market. If there are others I would be very interested!
Phone may require you to enter the networks APN settings manually .
You may not have the correct CSC file for your network for automatic connection ,

Hi - been busy the last few days and unable to try getting the phone to work. I cannot enter the APN settings (which should only have to do with internet?) as I cannot connect to any network in the list - I get "unable to select network". I've tried multiple official firmwares with both only NEE (Nordic) CSC and multi-CSC (where I chose NEE) and none work. Any other ideas?
Cheers
Hi,
I´ve been having a serious issue with my phone.
- I´m not using the phone, people call me and get a busy signal.
- I´ve tried calling my self from a landline and realized this is true.
- I´ve tested calling my home´s landline and got a weird beeping sound and then the call was not completed.
- I´ve rebooted the phone and the issue was fixed, but after a while it reocured.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
I was just wondering if its a SIM issue (rather than phone). Maybe try a different SIM and see if there's a different result?

- I´ve cleaned the SIM card and the SIM card slot, put it back in and made a couple of teste. I keep getting the busy signal even when the phone is not being used. Now even after I reboot the issue sometimes happens....or if it doesn´t happen it starts happening after the phone goes to sleep.
Could this be the phone´s modem? This is a serious issue.
You can flash a new modem from the modem thread .Or ask for a new sim card .

I got the lastest "Test Mode" firmware from the program "Check Fus Downloader" for you.
Product Code: GT-I9100LKAEPL
Latest firmware: I9100XWKF3/I9100EPLKE4/I9100XXKE7/I9100XWKF3
Is this the correct one??? If so you could try the following if you already have root and CWM Recovery installed;
Type into your phone dialer *#1234# and write download your existing 'Phone' (Modem) version, just incase you wish to reflash that.
[MODEM] Main modem XX versions flashable through CWM
Immediately before flashing, I suggest you take nnote of signal strength; Phone Menu / Settings / About Phone / Status, you can then compare.
Download the closest matching modem and flash through CWM Recovery. The closest I can see is XXKF2.
If you still have no luck, could also try the latest one as well. Be aware for any change in signal strength, quality, not obtaining 3G, H, H= etc.
Hope this helps
Need some expert here for help before I use ODIN to restore the factory firmware package.
Currently have G925W8 (Canadian Rogers) and currently running Int 5.1.1 rom on it. All of sudden my phone can't make or receive phone calls. I mean when I tried to make the phone call, it just ends right away, and no one can call in to my phone number either and goes to VM directly.
I tried different kernel (Arter/Hacker/UniKernel) and different rom combination...Still no GO...
I tried to apply Mr.X Audio Patch too (not sure how many patches are there, but I only download the one for Mr.X audio patch for 920T) and it doesn't work either.
I know in G925W8 forums talk about different BL/Modem, different combination and no go either.
Please note my phone works perfectly and I can get the internet connection (LTE) but just can't make the phone call. Even now I won't use the phone much but still need to have the phone work.
I think the major issue is when I am in the phone, go to call settings -> More Settings that give me an error "Failed to Read data Network or Sim card error".. I though it's my sim card, but i plugged it in my 1+1 and have no issue making/receiving calls..
Anyone that have any idea?!?
calling in out
had the same problem, in my case i installed an original samsung 5.1.1 and a kernel to root the phone, i got the same as you, everything worked but the phone.
only way to get out, is download from samsung firmware repository or sam mobile the EXACT ROM FOR YOU MODEL AND CARRIER (i cannot emphasize enough the CARRIER) believe it or not if you want to install an original rom you must respect the carrier for a custom rom it's something else altogether
in your case you odin with the rom of you phone/carrier IF IT WORKS (NOT ROOTED) I mean ccalling in/out, then install a different kernel in order to root.
if it works then your previous kernel (as was in my case) was the culprit
good luck
the carrier is where you bought the phone or the cell co affiliated to the store where you bought the phone, there's ALWAYS a link from "A" carrier in your phone

Alright, so my parents sent me a Samsung S3 SGH-I747 AT&T Carrier...
Problem is that I live in a different country, that would be the Philippines and I was just wondering, if there would be any way possible to get rid of this 4.1.1 I747UCDLK3 Firmware that it comes with
Reasons being:
1. Locked Mobile Hotspot (saying Mobile data is not available (though I activated it) or Invalid SIM Card)
2. So much unnecessary bloatware
3. Using mobile data has become impossible (Globe Telecom carrier), though I can receive texts and calls
What I've tried so far:
Odin, but it just kept on giving me the "SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot" error and cancelled the Firmware flashing...
Also, if I have to flash Cyanogenmod or any other firmware just so I can port it to a different stock firmware apart from AT&T, that would be epic.
Thank you in advance...
Hi, i recently flashed an A10 with the stock firmware (I downloaded the one that matched my country), and everything worked great, except the phone can only make emergency calls. When i insert the SIM card it detects the mobile network, but it doesnt seem to be able to select a network operator (neither manually nor automatically).
I flashed the "free" firmware (the one that isnt locked to any network provider), and It detects the provider that matches different SIM cards and sets up the APN (i also tried manually setting them with official guides), but doesn´t connect to the network and says that it "can´t connect to this network right now, try again later" when i try to select the network operator (IDK if operator is the right word, my phones are in spanish, and dont know which word android uses on english)
The baseband is correct, but when i looked up the IMEI on an IMEI info website, it matched with a NOTE 10 instead of an A10.
This is a friends phone, it was non usable (wouldnt boot), i didnt back up the EFS partition because im a dumbass, but i think the reason it didnt work was because someone else tried to flash a firmware (maybe a note 10 instead of A10), but he says it just stopped working. I am yet to try to flash other network provider´s firmware (the one it originally used), but i was told any that matched my country should work.
WI-FI and mobile network both work, and it detects the SIM card.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Have you tried with a different SIM card?
