Good evening (or day),
I just received a S2 GT-i91000 (probably from CLARO Puerto Rico) for SIM-unlocking. I currently have Cyanogenmod stable on it, rooted, with CWM. I get one bar with no data on the signal, but mobile network state is disconnected. My phone number (from my personal SIM) is recognized, network is unknown, I get signal strength, it identifies GPRS but out of service state. There is an IMEI.
If I try the *#74(etc) code to check the unlocks on the phone screen dial, it just brings me the mobile network disconnected notice.
I've searched quite a bit and I'm stuck here. What to do?
There's a firmware thread but all the links are down.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos

GSII_Repair
For Samsung Galaxy S II
Use it only on Galaxy S II, this apk format "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1" for repair it.
I am not responsible if you use it on your phone and brick it.
If your sim card is not detected, no signal or your efs folder is blocked on read_only, this apk help you.
Need root and busybox
Include save/restore efs folder
Don't contact me if this method not work and if your phone need repair.
If you use this program, your phone don't work and need any repair, this is your last chance for repair it without samsung.
I have made this program because it repair 9/10 phones with the no sim-no signal problem...
its the discription
Quoting your IMEI in a post = not very bright. Edit your post/delete it.
Thanks guys,
For some reason, none of this worked. Do you think flashing a modem would help? I remember having repaired a similar problem like this with that solution.
I will do a battery pull - power down 10min. and restart.

Yea I would try to find the latest modem for your city / country. And did you do a full wipe when you flashed CM9?

Most probably. I believe I sent this phone back to the owner for them to take it back to the manufacturer.

I have searched Google but this problem seems to be unique to my sgs2.
I got my sgs2 from UK a week back. Its O2 branded with latest official firmware (2.3.3 and XXKE7), that's what see from phone info. I am using it on 2g network in Pakistan. The mobile works fine and connected to mobile network quickly after 1st boot. But after sometime, when i woke it up from sleep mode, it had lost mobile network connection and went to emergency calls only. This is continuing to happen everyday. I have noticed that it usually happens when the phone is turned on from prolonged sleep, esp in the morning when i wake it up. The network signals show full strength and it also searches all networks available but when i select my network it says , unable to connect try later. The only resolution is that i have to reboot the phone and it automatically selects the network. however that too doesn't work always and i have to reboot several time. Somebody suggested to kill Dialer and reconnect but it didn't help either.
Please help!!!

First update phone to newer version.
Second it might be a sim card problem. Especially if it is a very old card. Try with a newer card.
Report back.

JJE/Mario: Guys I have come back after a while since It took me longer to flash the ROM. I have updated it with XXKG5 ROM that I found on Intertech post, but to my astonishment, my problem remains the same. Phone stays on "emergency call only" after wake up or when I move few miles from my place. Sometimes it stays on this mode throughout the day. Strangely, GPRS/Edge works, however I do not see the 2 arrows radio symbol in notification area.
Is my phone damned or there is any hope?

that worked for me, but the problem had nothing to do with the imei number, if you look carefully. Also I think This is just temporary and it's going to revert back to emergency calls only. I'll let you know when that happens again
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've had my S3 for quite awhile now currently on 3 network. Something really odd happened though.
I was able to use it normally in the morning, once I got to the afternoon it I lost all network.
The only thing that I can use to connect to anything is Wifi
Usually there would be a little "H" symbol next to my signal bar when it's full. Now there is nothing but the full signal bar.
When I pull the notification bar down I see a Emergency calls only though I have full signal
I've gone into Settings>More settings>Mobile networks>Network operators to see if I can find a way to connect. I can choose from the networks on screen. Yet it tells me Unable to connect. Try later. I select "Select automatically" which doesn't help either, as it tells me "Registered on network" WHAT NETWORK?!
The Network mode is on Auto
My Mobile Data is on.
My Apn is on "3 WAP"
I've tried rebooting the phone.
Restoring to factory settings.
Turning phone to Flight mode then off again.
Re-inserting Sim.
I've even rooted the phone to see if it would work!!
Can anyone help me solve this ridiculous puzzle? :crying:
Thank you for your time.

Last time I hd this issue, it was caused by a faulty SIM.
I think you have some really bad news. I looks like your efs folder is messed up.
you need send it back if in warranty.
otherwise you can get it repaired from some service centre. They will use SPT or some other repair tool to fix this issue.
You see full bars because you phone uses any available signals for SOS call.
Otherwise it will not lock to network.

Hi! since you are new here, have you read the Forum Rules? not that you've done something wrong but just to get you informed
Here are some suggestions i can give you
okay. if ONE fails, do TWO. if TWO fails, do THREE. if THREE fails, do FOUR.
ONE: reboot
TWO: try doing factory reset (don't forget to backup) / wiping caches
THREE: root your phone and flash another modem
FOUR: contact your network service provider about this matter
i hope this helps Cheers!
samsung galaxy s3 i9300 sim registers but only emergency calls
In my case (sgs3) the problem was caused by the fact that I also formatted the efs partition (something used by Samsung to store hardware identifiaction like IMEI, ...).
If efs is empty/gone/changed(?), the phone will be unable to make regular calls: only emergency calls will be available!
Peace!

But this efs issue has been answered many, many times in the forum - usually people wrecking their £500 phone because they didn't read or understand what they were doing.

Ok you're right, everyone should read sticky notes and try keep the forum tidy. Look, I don't want to go too off-track here but this problem is not just limited to Samsung handsets. I'm seeing similar reports about Sony's, which is what i've got. And there is no efs partition that can be saved on a sony because they don't come with one. I'm beginning to suspect that the problem might be with ICS/JB and this is why it's poping up on different phones/threads, with different roms etc.

[Q] "Can't connect right now. Try again later." or equivalent in stock, CM9 and CM10
Hi folks! Needing some help, please.
I've googled my problem a lot but couldn't find any working solution. Below is the detailed history.
I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300, cut my previous SIM, and used it for about four weeks with no problems. During this time, I rooted my phone, backed up the stock ROM, installed CM9 and afterwards CM10.
About a week ago, while using CM10, I switched off airplane mode after about nine hours and the signal power meter was empty. All the services related to my carrier (SMS, 3G, calls) were inoperative. I rebooted the phone, tried removing and reinserting the SIM, with no success.
I tried flashing the previous backups, also with no success, but noticed that while using the stock rom, the signal meter was full. This prompted me to access "Settings > Wireless (...) > More... > Mobile Networks > Network Operators", where to my surprise all the available carriers were listed. I did the same check in the rural area of my town, where I know my carrier does not work, and the cellphone correctly detected only the other three carriers.
These symptoms led me to believe that my cut sim could be the problem. I got a microsim from my carrier, but the problem persisted.
After this, I assumed the problem was software related, googled it and found some recommendations:
Complete wipe and backup restoration: this was not successful with stock, CM9 and CM10.
Complete wipe and stock ROM re-installation with Odin: also not successful.
Modem flashing with Odin: also not successful.
Firmware flashing with KIES: I put the cellphone in download mode and made the firmware recovery procedure from KIES. Also not successful.
Restoration of efs folder and IMEI related issues: I did not have backup of this folder, but the symptoms related to the problem in the posts I found always included the absence of IMEI. When I type *#06# in my phone, I can correctly see my IMEI, so I discarded this possibility. My carrier also informed me that my IMEI is not blacklisted.
I thought of getting a new microsim to rule out any SIM related issues, but still haven't done it.
Information regarding my phone:
Phone model: GT-i9300
Baseband version: I9300UBLG2
Firmware vesion when on stock (from KIES): PDA:LJ1 / PHONE:LI2 / CSC:LJ2 (ZTO)
Could someone please help me? I still have not tried the EFS folder troubleshooting, but the procedures I found were related to problems that did not show the same symptoms as mine. Do anyone have any suggestion? Please tell me if any more information is needed.
Thanks!
Why not just get a micro Sim to begin with....they don't cost anything and it saves a whole lot of hassle. My guess is the sim reader is damaged....IF and WHEN you decide to get a new micro sim, if it doesn't work then that could be the only cause and the service centre your only option. Seriously dude, next time to save yourself hassle....go an get a micro sim from your carrier, I wouldn't even think about hacking away at an old sim because I can't be bothered to walk to a Vodafone shop.

I have just come back from the carrier store, where I got a new SIM, and the issue persists. I also double-checked any IMEI blocking or problems with my services, and everything is ok.
Coincidentally, a Samsung consultant was around. He checked my phone and talked to Samsung tech support describing the issue.
They do not think it is related to the cutting of the SIM card for two reasons, the first being the ability to locate the carriers, the second being the fact that a visual inspection of the slot and the scratch marks on the SIM card do not indicate a broken or bent contact.
Obviously, he recommended that I send my phone to an authorized Samsung service center for maintenance.
I am still inclined to think it is a software related issue. I will, of course, send my phone to Samsung if it is case, but in the meantime I would like to try new procedures to bring back my phone's ability to connect to my carrier.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
An additional information:
I tried checking my sim through some apps, to confirm there is no damage in the contacts. GalaxSim Unlock is able to detect my sim and correctly show my phone status as unlocked.
Any suggestions on tests?

Hi!
I bought S939(not completely new), which from what I understand is not a device that's created for the European market. In order to make it function, I believe that the device was rooted\modified. Now, I can perfectly use it to go on the internet, make photos ecc, but when I put my SIM , I'm unable to "catch" the network of my provider. A message "Can't connect right now. Try again later." appears. I can save numbers on the SIM, for example, but unable to register on the network.
Also on the main screen, I can see writter "Invalid IMEI".
Thanks!
no backup imei ? try flash stock, should repare imei (i think) - but i have phone with mediatek and cant flash (get error)
Was the issue ever resolved, I'm having same problem with my i9300 on virgin mobile. My phone works fine on giffgaff.

Inactive sim?
Beamed in by telepathy.
I know this is an old thread. But spent so many days reading all those stuffs. Finally contacted samsung service centre and they says they can't repair my phone since its not manufactured in my country. Tried repairs like '' GSII repair'' and lots of other. Am not sure what I did. Deleted efs folder and copied, pasted. Nv files restarted. But of know use. When I tried inserting another network simcard(my friends) . The imei didn't change. But I was able to make phone calls and 3g. Bought a new sim of the same network. But I couldn't use it to make calls. It shows network not registered(like my previous carrier). The only thing I am able to do is I can use 3g. And I am typing from this same phone. Thank you for reading this..

how to change imei number samsung i think you will get some good vids
OP - take it to a local mobile repair shop, most should be able to fix this fairly cheaply (I can get it done for ~AUD$30).
