No Connection After Rom update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I need help regarding connection problem of my I9300.
I updated my SGSIII through kies from LE8 to LH1 ( Using Firmware initialization, as Kies was giving message that it cannot update this phone)
But after update i have no network connection at all. There aren't any insert sim warnings anywhere, i just have a circle with a diagonal line through it in the notification bar where the signal bars usually sit.
If i hold the power button to bring up the shut down/flight mode menu,I can turn on flight mode but after getting in flight mode this option is diasabled. And i cannot turn off flight mode from power menu.
I can disable it from settings, but that option also disables and only enables if i exit from that menu and enter again.
I have re installed .LE8 via Odin but it is same.
My phone is unlocked and i can see carrier name in status bar.
Also it does not search any available networks from menu.
Any one knows what is wrong

Are modem and CSC correct for your area .
Have you set up the network manually is the network registered in the APN list .
Have you tried a factory reset after backing up all data ??
But this reads more like a failed flash .

My signals were fine with OXA LE8. I upgarded to LG8.
Now i have reflashed same firmware but it did bot work.
MY APN is automatically configured from sim,
But when i got to network operators --> Search networks, Searching flashes for a second and goes off.
When i choose Network operators --> Select automatically it says registered to network immediately
Also power menu keeps telling that flight mode is ON even if i turn it off from setting. and this option in power menu is also disabled unless i reboot. After switching to Flight mode first time from menu it is disabled.
I did factory reset but it did not help
If it is a failed flash, what should i do?

I have noticed one more thing,
If i remove sim card, I get no sim card symbol. But i get full signal bars on status bar.
In settings--> Status it shows signal strength of 71 dbm 21 asu
Also without sim card the flightmode can be enabled or disabled normally
with flight mode disabled the signal strength is 70-80 dbm, with flight mode enabled signals go to 111 dbm

I have the same error!
Exacly equal on everything you said!
Only diference is, my IMEI was changed by 004999xxxxxx.
And I don't know why!
I've done all facilities to follow many tutorials here, but nothing worked.

I have just noticed that in status menu, serial number is 00000000000.
Is it normal or i have some corruption in EFS folder.

I think you can resolve your issue by restoring efs data

I have checked my efs folder.
following two files are modified at the time when i installed the LH1 firmware.
1- nv_data.bin
2- nv_data.bin,md5
allother files are old.
I think it has some problem. I have .bak files of both files.
How can i restore them.

Do you have EFS backup? If yes, did you try to restore it?

My friend had the same problem when he tried to initiate the firmware via Kies (as it was not his region update, which we believe is the cause of the problem)
He solved it by downloading the latest official firmware of his region using checkfus-PC version after wiping all data and cache and it worked well bringing his device back to the latest official firmware and reseting modem/csc
For Egypt, I believe the latest official firmware is BLFB. Download PC version of check fus and use it to verify :good:

I dont have a Tuto for you..but once you open Checkfus..the steps are quite easy..enter your model number..your region and download the firmware..similarly you can do the same on Sammobile.com...you will need to register first...once you have the zip file..unzip it to find the .tar file..take your phone into download mode.connect to pc with odin open...choose the .tar file as pda uncheck re-partition if it is checked...and flash..

Am i supposed to download the firware for my country and reflash it.
My phone orignal firmware is BTU ( UK ) according to Kies when i use Kies firmware initiaization, but i am in PAK.
Is this the cause of problem
My CSC when it checked before upgrading was LE8 (XXX)

when using *#197328640# (Service Mode)
version info---> sw version-->read csc code it says does not support
read all sw versio ---> no thing against csc code
read imei ---> not supported
But*#06# returns imei
*#1234# returns all information
I am confused. is it normal
Is there a way to check the orignal CSC as i might have some csc conflict that is not allowing me to use sim card

I have checked my nv_data.bin
I found that it has ÿÿÿÿÿI9300XXLE8............. written in it. is it ok for UK (BTU) firmware.
But Odin does not show my CSC it says that i have LE8 ( XXX ).
Using *2767*4387264636#. code to check product number is also not working in my phone. It does nothing.
In service menu when i check sellout sms-->get scm info
1- sellout sms : off
Pcode : not active
Mode : prod

Any progress?

After flashing official LE8 and fox hound LH4, i think it is not rom related issue.
Some people think that it may be CSC or product code problem, But in my SGS2 i flashed every rom with many different CSC and regions but i never had this issue.
I am currently working on EFS folder because all my symptoms are same as if EFS folder is corrupt, but i just want to be sure because i can see imei, mac addresses and SW info.

Busy signal even when not busy!!!

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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
- 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

[Q] Unable to select or register on mobile network

Please, Please, HELP ME !!!
I looked all over this forum and on the net to try to find a solution to my problem, but I couldn't find anything that relates to this issue.
When I go into Mobile Networks/Network Operators, the phone starts to search for available networks. When the search is complete, I select the network I want and then I get the following message: "Unable to select Network/Select Automatically. Unable to connect.Try again later." The only way I can connect to my provider is to reboot the phone. Because of this, I am unable to use my phone in roaming either. It looks like my phone fails to connect to any mobile networks manually.
When I put the SIM in a different phone, the error is gone, so the problem should be with my phone. Could it be a modem or a ROM issue? Don't know.
The phone is rooted, with Android 2.3.5, Baseband: I9100XXKI4. Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI4-CL611039 [email protected] #2.
Please help me. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Almost always helps
Set network APN manually do not use search /auto and see what happens .
That can be followed by backup of data and factory reset .
You can also check you have correct CSC for network/location .
Next would be to flash another modem KI1 for choice through Odin or from the zipped modems post through CWM .

All Fails you can do the following this will bring the phone to an acceptable warranty return state if it does not cure the problem .
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

Thank you jje,
My current CSC is this: I9100OXAKI4.
My location/network is this: Romania/Vodafone
Roaming in Hungary for example still does not work. Could the CSC be wrong?

I had the similar problem since last week: The sgs2 has been working with local operator Telia for about 4 months and suddenly it could not register on the network after I have set it to airplane mode several times
I put 3 other sims from the same operator in my sgs2, all of them do not work, and they all working fine in other phones
I put 2 sims from 2 other operators in my sgs2, they all working fine
So it seems this sgs2 only does not work within Telia's network, but I gave Telia support my IMEI number, they say that number is not locked or blocked in their network
I tried manually select network from the list, but get immediately back a notification saying "unable to select network", not like in a working phone, it takes several seconds before getting a confirmation from the network
So I guess some old denying answer from Telia is cached in the phone, and everytime phone send the register request, the cached denying answer is read. unless I can clearout this cache, there is no way to get registered with Telia
I went forward to wipe/factory reset/flash another rom&modem, all did not help. I guess these cache information is not changeble through normal flashing process, maybe in EFS area or somewhere else
Anyone can help?

I'm sure this is not your situation but my provider was down for the days but when I called support they swore everything was fine and trouble shooted my phone.for what ever reason their Sim showed every provider in my area as them.(as it in network search all providers looked like my provider). While the phone tried to connect to the other providers it was rejected as "unable to register on network"error. I did not figure out out until I checked network search with a different provider Sim and my network provider was no where to be found until they got the system back up in my area.

Thanks, I always flash stock roms and csc for the phone, and tried twice, I believe the data which caused the problem could not be touched by the flash process
Now I put another SIM from telenor in the sgs2 and try to manually select the Telia network, it took more than 30 seconds and returned a message saying "unable to select network, select automatically", and then it select home network (telenor) successfully
However, if I manually select other non-home network (3, tele2 etc... ), it took about 5 seconds to get that message
So, I think that 30 seconds waiting actually is a system timeout period, there is no communication to/from Telia network during this period
The strange thing is that even reflash the rom/kernel/modem do not improve the situation, where did the android system store the settings of network operators so that even a full flash of the phone can not clear it?
I'm going to do some adb logging today to see what is actually happening there...

[Q] Problem with my Galaxy S3

Hey guys, hopefully someone here can tell me what is wrong with my phone
Basically i cannot make any calls or texts with my phone, when i try to make a call it comes up "not registered on network" this only started happening yday
I can use the internet, maps etc without wifi so it is just a calling/texting problem i have
Also my sim works in my brothers iphone 4 so no problem with the sim
I contacted o2 who have said that there is no problem at their end, my account is not barred, the IMEI of the galaxy is fine, so there are no restrictions
I have done a full reboot of the phone and also made sure airplane mode isnt on
I just dont know what is wrong with my Galaxy S3
Any ideas???
Try different SIM, see if it works.
Try to re-register to your network and select gsm/wcdma auto
Settings > settings / wireless & networks > more settings > mobile networks > network mode ...... AND network operators > select your carrier
Also, if you have no signal strength, re-check to make sure your Sim is properly inserted

Le8 is a crappy firmware,wait for an update though kies..
Or if u KNOW how to flash,then change to lf2 that a good firmware.if u don't know how to flash then read on how-to,there are lots of guides here on xda and utube
I had the same issue and it is related somehow to the CSC not being detected/installed correctly after flashing a new ROM.
I have spent hours and after flashing the latest UK generic ROM from the stock O2 one I had the same messages issues and Kies would connect.
After pressing x#1234# I saw the CSC was unknown and so I flashed back the O2 CSC and everthing started to work correctly. Then I have reflashed the latest UK unbranded ROM and after pressing pressing x#1234# the CSC showed correctly.
DO NOT WIPE RIPARTITION/ DELETE ALL DATA otherwise it will somehow cause the phone to set the CSC as unknown and then the messages error will come back.
After reistalling Kies for a few times it fininally decided to work, or may be it like the CSC?? Kies however does not let me upgrade firmware for some reason but at least I can sync my contacts
I have then changed the CSC to the correct UK Generic BTU (UK):
1.Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad.
2.Select the CSC that you want.
3.Click Install.
4.Phone will be rebooted by itself.
5.That’s all.
Afterword I have run a software update from the phone and it upgraded to the latest firmware, kies confirmed it too

I9300 - No find Networks - IMEI Correct - HELP!

Hi
I bought this S3 in Lituania as a "No Signal" phone hoping that it would work in SPAIN.
I have switched it on today, trying with my own sim and after enter the PIN I see "Only emergency calls". I have uptaded it to the 4.1.2 JB but same result.
Checking the locked status I see all OFF. I rooted and installed the Voodoo Unlocked and same result "Unlocked phone" but no network.
The IMEI is the same in the phone than in the back so It doesn´t look like a IMEI issue...
I applied the ariza_v04.zip patch with same result...
I can see the SIM contacts and the phone recognize my SIM number, I mean in settings I can see my phone number...
More info, when I try to select manualy my network, it doesn´t find any!
Could you please help??
Thanks thanks so much!

Download a stock rom say the new 4.1.2 then go into recover make all wipes. After you have done, while in recovery move it down to chose from sd and don't click anything. Now hold Power + Volume down + Home all at the same time till you go into download mode connect your phone and flash stock unrooted firmware on your phone..
When finished start the phone if there is no signal then download CF Root which Chainfire made and root your phone and download GetRil from android market and see if your modem is matching it will tell you your recommended modem find and download it. Then match the ril if that doesn't work sorry mate you might have a blocked IMEI or a bad phone..
Try with another SIM.

May be the antenna has any problem?
Any other ideas?
IF you have emergency calls available - that would mean the phone has some network in range. Therefore, I doubt if this is antenna issue.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Have you tried different SIM cards?
Do emergency calls work? If so your number is blocked. It may be a stolen phone.

Well... news!
I went to the Samsung SAT and... the phone has NO ANTENNA! But not only this, it hasn´t the antenna plug!!
So I guess that if I want to fix it I should:
1- Solder any antenna or any antenna plug and then connect an antenna (too dificult I think...).
2- Find this silicon chip replacement (It´s where the usb dock and the camera conects to). But, where?! I tried but I don´t find it...
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Can anyone help? Thanks!!

Yes I went and they said that they only can change the whole motherboard as the phone is defective.
The phone is not brand new so they cannot change it for a new one...
I have no idea what to do...

Then that's it, change the motherboard.

You probably bought one of those stolen display ones. They don't have a network chip at all.

[Q] "Not registered on network"

Hello there,
A few weeks ago I was trying out different custom roms on my galaxy s3, and I somehow managed to **** something up and my IMEI number got changed to something like 00400001234. I kept getting "Not Regitsrred on Network" error if I tried to make calls. So I took it to a repair shop and paid £25 to get it fixed
It got fixed and the imei number went back to normal - I could make calls again!
I then did efs, nandroid and titanium backups and then flashed foxhound rom, but again I get the "not registered on network" error. So I restored the backup, but it still says the error. I tried a different backup and still it cant connect to network :crying:
What I tried to fix this:
- turning it off for a while then back on
- manually trying to connect to my network
- manually enterring APN details
- ate a bagel
- factory reset / data wipe
- I followed all the guides I could find on this site and used the search function extensively! the last thread i read was this one but the guy couldn't find a solution other than taking it to a shop
I think I have only these options:
1) try to fix it myself maybe flashing a different radio, CSC, or something (?)
2) take it back to repair shop and pay another £25
I read somewhere that the method the shop uses to 'fix' the phone means that you cant install custom roms. is this true?
As you can probably tell, I am a novice at this kinda thing and so it's very frustrating cos I cant understand how to fix this =/
Thankyou
A guess is that you flashed custom rom and either have no CSC wrong CSC or wrong modem for your network . Or EFS folder is damaged .
Possible solution restore original rom via .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978840
Then test .

so is the imei there?
yes the IMEI on the phone matches the one printed under the battery
thanks for the link. i'm trying to use kies now to fix it, but it's saying my device firmware version is not supported to update via kies. not sure what this means cos i flashed the stock rom already =/
Trying flashing the stock modem if it's not already, I too got same problem and then flashed the stock modem for my rom/country and it worked
Just my experience being a noob to flashing

i would like to try flashing a new modem/csc but i dunno where to find those seperate files. do you have a link to where i can download the unbranded UK one?
ive just flashed another rom with odin (UK unbranded BTU 4.0.4), and now i'm getting a different error. the phone now says 'mobile network not available' and there are no mobile networks showing when i try to search for them. i am no longer seeing the 'not registered to network' error
i'm still getting the error message in kies saying my firmware is not compatible too =/
dunno if this helps, but when i dial *#1234# it shows this information:
AP: I9300XXBLG8
CP: I9300XXLG8
CSC: I9300XABLG8
what does it all mean =S
edit: okay, i've just been down to the store where i originally bought the phone from. i had one of their sales guy snap a picture of the firmware version info screen. for comparison i've included a screenshot of my s3's info:
i.imgur.com/SQ19c17.png
my plan is to try and locate this specific firmware and flash it onto my device in hopes it will fix it =<
does anyone know where i could find this specific firmware?

Reboot into recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power).
What is the CSC shown?

the console text says it has applied CSC-code "CYO"
ive managed to find the correct firmware now, so that it matches the stock s3, but yet my problem still remains =/ once again it is giving me the 'not registered on network' error
dont know what else to try now =/
maybe the CSC code is incorrect, and changing it would fix my issue?
CSC has nothing to do, since your phone is unlocked. It depends on the network, whether GSM or UMTS.
Try this firmware for the CSC CYO:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/190153878/49a62fc/I9300XXELLA_I9300OXXELL1_CYO.zip.html
1- Make sure to flash using Odin 3.07. Find it in the forums. To flash, you must enter the download mode. Switch off the phone, then Vol Down + Home + Power.
2- After flashing and rebooting the device, when the logo is shown, remove the battery and reinsert it.
3- Enter the recovery mode using (Vol Up + Home + Power).
4- Choose "Wipe factory settings".
5- Reboot the device.
6- Enjoy.
Being in an area with weak network coverage can cause continuous error like "Not registered on network". Therefore, after flashing, try forcing the network into GSM via "Setting -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM Only".
This shall work fine with you
well thanks for trying, but that didn't work either. i followed the steps exactly and i still get 'not registered on network' error =/
this is so frustrating

yes the phone was bought from carphone warehouse (UK) and was already unlocked out of the box
also, no i have not tried another sim
i've just uses kies to find the exact firmware i need (entered the model + serial number) and flashed it... but, still i get 'not registered on network' error, despite having full 5 bars signal
i dont know what else could cause this. the firmware is correct, imei number is correct, everything is back to stock.. so why am i still seeing this error? :crying: ive run out of ideas now! well, unless the 'custom binary counter' stops the phone working if you flash it too many times (???) i really dont know what else to try

Can you try another working SIM?
BTW, to reset flash counter, root your phone, use TriangleAway, reset flash, then flash the stock firmware again.
thanks for the help man, but ive given up on the phone now.
i've just had a terrible accident. and the phone dropped out of my pocket while i was riding my bicycle on the road. it got run over by a 4 cars, 2 trucks and a bus.
it's very sad.
good job the phone is insured.
