Hello XDA members,
I have a big problem with my SGS2!
If i try to run my SGS2 with my SIM (Telekom) then i do not have reception,
but if iam nearly 800meters in front of a send masts, I've got reception. Oô
If i took my old MobilePhone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10) i works fine, I took any other Mobilephones/Smartphones it works fine.
If i try to use SIM-cards from other Providers in my SGS2 like Vodafone, O2, Alditalk, it works fine. (But WHY not with MY SIM???)
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions, NOTHINK Works :/
After this I go to Telekom (i've not buyed there my SGS2, i've bought it from a friend, but he can use it normaly) and described the same,
so I've got 6 different versions of a SIM - Card, like 1,8V and 3,3V variants, NOTHING works! -.-
After this, i tried to ROOT my MobilePhone, but any attempt be unsuccessful.
Nowadays I tryed the Special "Telekom" Android Version (2.3.6) of the SGS2, unsuccessful.
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
I hope you have some ideas!
best regards

[PS: Sorry for my baad English!!!! ]
Hmm.. probably not the best option, but... change your operator but maintain the same number ?
If other sim cards work then there should be the problem with the Telekom one!

One wrong modem/baseband change it .
Two network settings not entered correctly .

Damaged Sim ask for replacement sim .
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions,
WHY ???

Sell it or read the faqs and guides posted here and flash a stock rom .
Add to that phone needs a service repair .

first of all, check your EFS. It might crashed before u do anything else as its a possible root of problem. Dial *#06# and does it show your IMEI? Then go to settings and about phone, does it show what baseband you are on? If no imei or baseband unknown, your EFS is broken.
After checking the EFS issue, then u may proceed on thinking bout other solutions to it. Just confirm it first

Hello guys sorry for creating new thread. i know i should ask it from Q&A thread.
I recently bought HTC HD2 from my friend in Sweden.
Problem is when i put my TELE2 SIM it's still seeking service sometimes it's says no service. But amazingly 3G and H is still working i can surf but i cant talk. Then i put another SIM (Telenor) and its working perfectly. What does it mean? it's came with the original swedish frimware and why swedish carrier isn't working? Both of them(Tele2 , Telenor) Swedish carrier.
Now i guessing maybe it's stolen phone. Perhaps original owner reported and my IMEI blacklisted. But why telenor is working perfectly. ? Sorry for asking lot of question. But my phone is just brick now. and i can see little red light on my speaker it's still working even i locked it. i tried to Soft reset , hard reset , factory reset, restore with orginal frimware , none of them worked. Pls help...

Guys i bought My xperia sola one two months ago frm ebay...i started facing network problems for a last few weeks..i tried downgrading to GB and tried latest version of firmware available for my phone too...bt the problem still persists...when i checked its SI number i came to know that its imported from singapore (that could explain network dropping off frequently) and sony gives no support for out of country phones...
Can rooting my device actually relieve me of this problem?..

anyone knows about it?
New one or used one? There is no issue reported like this before. Try another sim n check
try another operators sim and check to see if its the problem with the handset or the sim........ where as I dont think it would be a problem with the handset...........

Why you dont try to flash an Idian .ftf File to your Sola. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080751
hello xda !
I'm a C developper who just received his brand new Galaxy S3 i9305 4.1.2, my first android device !
And i love android. But i just realized it's simlocked and my provider bills 170€ (200$) to get an unlock code !
As i don't have that money and i don't wanna spend it unlocking my phone, i decided to downgrade my i9305 to 4.1.1, and to use the desimlock trick. I did it, using my provider ROM (i'm pretty sure it's the right one). My phone seems to be unlocked, but when i tried to do a test call, i got a weird message:
"Phone not registered on network"
WTF ?
I had a hope when i found ARIZA patch, but it failed, it was made for i9300.
I googled it again for a few days, and i found out that it probably is its modem firmware.
I'm not even sure of it and I hesitate flashing it back to 4.1.2.
Any idea of what causes the issue and how to solve it ?
I'm currently using XXALK2 and i'm from France using the Bouygues network, if it helps
Thanks for your help and time, this is my first post here.
Hi. A old newbie here with a big problem, not solved by a lot of time lapsed, forum topics etc..
I have a SGS I9300.. Just got it a few weeks ago (2nd hand). Everything was fine, battery drains fast but doesn't matter now.
It had an modified TouchWiz rom which after a wipe data/cache still had SuperSU and I didn't like it.
I had a old stock ROM in my PC (from my old I9300, which worked fine 1 year ago, 4.3 Romania -Orange). I flashed it through ODIN but the problem is that I have signal bars, I can choose between HSDPA/GSM connections, I can register to any network but in my carrier it says The selected Network (RO ORANGE) is not disponible or smth like that.
I went to a GSM Service, they made it work but I didn't like that modified ROM, I want a Full Official Stock TouchWiz ROM for my old S3.
I paid a lot, I don't want to go once again to repair it. IMEI and S/N are good. When I received it from Service, it had USB Debugging ON. I think Z3X will solve this but I think it's not free to register..
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate sub-forum for your device.

Good luck!
Sounds like your phone has modified/damaged efs and must have patched modem and kernel to use a stock firmware.
Take it back to the GSM Service and ask them to repair the efs properly, so it works on 4.3 without patches.

Hm, I tried a lot of things to repair it, but I did worse. The IMEI became generic (0049), the S/N was modified.
After a lot of time lost, looking on XDA, YouTube, trying to repair it... I found that the only viable solution was to go with it at a GSM Service. You can't modify or repair your IMEI without a box (z3x). I finally managed to fix it for just 9$ ( I was thinking to buy a new motherboard -> 50$ )
Thanks for your reply

I have the same problem. The IMEI and SN are good, but I can't call. I was on CM11 before and then I put phone accidentally in flight mode and flashed Blekota v11. Was not able to make calls anymore. Then I used ODIN to flash back to a Stock rom what I wanted to do in the first place. But still no change. Do I need to flash a different Baseband version?
Please help me, what can I do?

Yes you can flash different modems, a lot of people solved the problem with XXEMG4 modem, but in my case.. Nothing seemed to work.
I have again the same problem, IMEI and S/N are good, Emergency calls only. I think i have EFS V1 but my rom is fully working with EFS V2.
You should better go to a GSM Service and see what you can do with yours, don't try because you can lose your IMEI and S/N and then the single solution is to repair N/V data IMEI and S/N with Z3X box at a service.
Thanks, it worked with the patched modem and kernel. I used this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-emergency-calls-problem-siii-i9300-t2752541
Hi to all guys! (i'm italian...so sorry in advance for my bad english )
i'll tell you all the story before explain the problem.
One of my friends, give me this phone... i don't know the "Story" of the phone, but he told to me, that it wasn't stolen or anything like that.
Anyway the phone got 3 problems:
1)Battery cold (i got another one - solved)
2)Usb connector damaged (re-soldered - solved)
3)Network.
When i put my sim, i can see that i have 2/3 bar of signal, but i'm not registred on the network....if i do manually, i got "registred on the network" but it's not.
So i'm asking to you all....
1)A COMPLETE stock rom (PDA- MODEM - CSC) for this i9300 (Italy)
2)(if the problem it's still there after the flash) a good efs from another i9300....so i can replace it.
3) Any other help/suggest would be appreciated
Thanks in advance for the answers (you guys are great....i've solved a lot of problems to a lot of people....i'm a technician)
Keep it up ^^
P.S.
I saw the counter of this phone at 09....so i'm worried about the efs or the modem.
P.S 2
I've checked the IMEI with a pay service and the result was "Clean". So it's officially not blacklisted.
P.S 3
Not important but...I've installed meanwhile Rom: Cyan..11 and arter97 kernel...and i'm playing with it ^^"...still not fix the problem.

In the attachment you have the screenshots.
I use here in italy the operator "TIM".....so the firmware it need to be TIM or no brand (ITV).... i actually flashed that one as you can see.
P.S.
For the others....i've noticed (thanks to KaosMaster) that on the back of my phone there is an IMEI....and on the system info there is another....
I think the old owners have changed the IMEI for X reason.....anyway the actual imei is "clean" and not blacklisted.
Anyway the original IMEI (behind the phone) is: 353921057454795
The actual: 356260059752444
I'm no more interested to hide the imei....
i have to know why was changed and if is actually usable the new one (because it's clean) or i'll be forced to use it as spare parts for other s3 and it's a real shame....(i actually have a I9100 T_T)

Flash Boeffla Kernel. I am also face the problem. After flashing boeffla kernel i got my network back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-5-2-27-03-2014-t1964572
try this if u dont got the network let me know
sorry for my bad english
This is known problem while your device serial number is corrupted. Best solution is to repair it via Z3X Box and reenter serial number manually. Dirty workaround is flashing modem patched by Ariza and unsecure kernel, in example Boeffla. If you will decide to choose second metod you will be forced to repeat those steps every time you flash a new firmware because your efs will be permanently changed. I suggest box metod, it shouldn't be expensive. In my country it is cost ca. 10 bucks.

This could happen if the board was replaced, it would have a different IMEI. The back plastic was replaced, again same thought. Or the imei in the sticker is bad and changed to good from a defective device. Or the worst, it was cloned.
The serial number I asked for thou is not shown in the images. It is blank. Please provide the one off the sticker and let's see where this leads.
Ok in this moment i got again the error of the connector..so i can't charge the phone >_> I have to replace with a new one T_T
So i'll let you know in this few days any kind of update. (I think i can try to install the kernel...i have enough battery)
Anyway on the back there is just one sticker...no other behind that or overlayed...
and the S/N: is that one RF1C83TA9DJ....
If i have other news i'll let you know in short time...
Thanks for everyone for the support until now.
Wait my news ^^ (fu**ing connector...doesn't charge....he know there is a cable put in is a** because if is in standby, the screen turn on....BUT doesn't charge......i love this kind of situation...)

Nothing to do...
I've tried everything.
This complete stock 4.3 with the Boeffla Kernel - Nothing.
Stock 4.3 No brand ITV with the Boeffla kernel - Nothing.
Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly with Boeffla kernel - Nothing.
Wipe/system/devil cache/cache/data on every round....
So the only way is to fix all of it with the Z3X Box... i have to go in a shop (to some of my colleagues) and give to them the phone.....here in italy is expensive this kind of work...50/70$...
Anyway thanks for all your support guys ^^
See you next time (at the next problem )
