No 3G Icon or Data Connectivity - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Backstory (Not sure if important): I was running Villain ROM for a long time whilst I was over seas, and every time I used WIFI, my phone heated up a lot (around the camera), to the point where I couldn't hold it up to my face to answer a call. My battery also got fairly hot while charging my phone on a boat. During this time I had a lot of issues with it crashing and what not, but data was still working. I charged my phone at the airport and then I tried to turn it on once I got home and the battery was dead. But I had a spare one which I'm currently using.
Anyway, I flashed Resurrection Remix ROM 3.0.5 (22/08/2012) and it failed to work (boot loop), so I flashed Stock Telstra 2.3.6 ROM. Then I tried to re root it and flash RR again and it worked fine. I attempted for a long time to fix the problem by using different modems, and flashing different ROMs etc, but I decided to use Triangle Away to reset Binary Count and then I flashed my phone back with the stock Telstra ROM as I may send it off for repair if I can't fix it. I also used OTA to upgrade it to ICS.
I've made sure that airplane mode is off. I've enabled data/roaming in settings. I've made sure (using power button) that data is enabled. I've checked the APN's and their all correct. I've selected the proper network operator (Telstra). I've gone into USSD Code '*#301279#' and changed the revisions.
I went into the settings using the USSD code '*#*#4636#*#*' and went into phone information. When I click 'Run ping test' it fails with the errors:
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr not reachable
Ping Hostname: Fail: Host unreachable
HTTP: Client test: Fail: IOException
When I press the menu key there is an option called 'Enable data connection', that when I press closes the menu (as if it had worked), but when I opened it again, it says the same thing. There is also never a 3G or Data Icon.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, or anything to try, please let me know.
TL;DR: I've read pretty much everything I could find on Google and nothing is making data work or even appear.
Thanks,

Hi !
I got the I9100 G, and tried many custom AOSP AOKP based rom too. I noticed that I can't get data network with those custom roms.
I also tried to flash modems, reflash with fresh restart, full wipe, etc.. but still nothing.
So I went to a stock based rom, with the Divine rom. And everything work fine.
Now I'm on the RR v3.0.5 and still no data, just wanted to try agan this amazing rom.
But I have to switch back again to the Divine..
Try this one, it should work if you got the same issue, even if I still don't know what it is exactly..
Note that it's for G's only !
let me know if you find another way to get rid of this.

why not try RootBox rom.. it will help you out with the data network problem,,

Check your APN settings, if it's correct
Swyped from my Galaxy SII

Rootbox for G's.. Yeah..
Already tested.. Not the latest but the v1.7 and it didn t work..
APN, modems, fresh restart, saving APN on a stock rom + restoring when on a custom like RR or RB, even CM9.. Tried all of this already.
But I didn't tried all modems..

[Q] Data connection not working after flashing custom rom :'(

I'm having a problem since I flashed the sensation rom (by crysis21) on my SGS2 yesterday.
My internet connection (mobile network) doesn't work anymore
I checked the APN settings and already resetted them and enterd my APN settings again. But it still doesn't work. I also restarted the phone multiple times.
Does anybody know where the problem is?
Installation steps were:
*copying the rom to sd
*CF-rooting the kernel via Odin
*booted up in CWM recovery and chose "install from zip file" and installed the rom (without any wipes)
Before I had the default samsung factory rom on it.
Have I made a mistake?

Have you checked the APN settings are the good ones? One thing is to have ones enabled and other totally different is to have ones that actually work.
Also when you go from Stock to Custom ROM you should do a full wipe!
Go to CWM and format /system, /data, /cache and reinstall the ROM.

thanks, I'll check this out as soon as I get home.
I refrain a little from doing a full wipe because I don't want to get all my apps deleted (and I'm a little too lazy to perform a backup). Would mybe a new modem solve this problem?
And of course I checked the APN settings. I deleted the existant APN setting and added a new one so the settings can't be the problem.
I also checked some entries in Settings/Phone Info/Status.
It says here (translated from german):
Mobile Network Type: HSDPA
Service State: Function (or working rather)
Mobile Network Status: Disconnected (but sometimes it says also connecting here, though it never really gets conencted)

lunatikk
Even though I wiped everything, the data connection still doesn't work.
I did
"Wipe data/factory reset"
"Wipe cache partition"
"Wipe Dalvik cache"
and after that I installed the Sensation rom zip file again.
The data connection still doesn't work :'( (I added the APN after install, of course - the settings are 100% correct).
I also installed another rom (infected rom) but there's still no data connection.
Am I missing something? I'm getting really desperate over here.

You could try flashing another Stock ROM via Odin and see if in stock works or not, then try a Custom ROM.
Sometimes the phone takes a while once you flash a new ROM till it establishes a decent 3G connection. Having "Data enabled", how much did you wait for the phone to establish a connection?

I thought so too... Well, at work I waited some hours for the data connection being established but nothing happened.
This is crazy. I even restored my system with CWM and it still ain't working.
As soon as my GF comes home I'll replace the sim cards. Maybe the problems at the providers side...
after that, I'll try a stock rom (via odin).
thanks for your tip

I have the same problem and I'm on check rom.
i'm having the exact same problem, but with multiple roms and not just one. i tried omega and delv. both of these are giving me no data connection (only at the beginning) but once i restart there's no data connection.
did you manage to figure out what went wrong? I've resulted in my original rom that i had by restoring it using cwm.
dear sir,
my device is micromax canvas a1 aq4501. when I recovering a custom rom like cm13 my device Internet data not connected. I fully checked setting like mobile data, apn, but it still not working.
now I want my device situable custom rom. please give me the right information.

I've had this issue before, after flashing ROMs I could not get the APN's.
What I did was Manually select the Network then select the Carrier.
After that I would reboot the phone and walla it works
Thank you for replying hing98, but I did what you said and it didn't work!
I've installed the latest CM9 and it didn't work neither ... im desperate now

Reboot 2-3 times it should definitely show up now.
I rebooted my phone like hundred times.
I've just flash Lite'ning rom thru odin, I seemed to work (I saved an APN) but I didn't have internet so I modified my MNC in the APN pressed save and then the APN disappeared
Pull battery...
Pull battery and your APN should be restored. With Hydrog3n ICS, I'd never get signal or data when flashing but after pulling battery and removing and replacing the SIM, I get coverage back.
Download an app call hiapn from play.
Might need to use TB to make it a system app.
It can automatically set your apns based on your sim.
It works 100% for me.

I have different behavior on different ROMs. Sometimes phone needs to be rebooted to restore APNs. Sometimes it is simply needed to wait for a while.
I have installed ROM in the evening and after hours of tries I simply went to sleep completely disappointed. In the morning internet was online

I rebooted my phone several times, I installed Dragon ICS ROM last night and I let it rest all night... no APNs yet .
Is your phone working, i.e. carrier is detected and voice services are working?

I know, this is probably stupid question, but is your mobile data enabled? I am asking because I noticed that ROM behaves exactly as you wrote here. When mobile data toggle is off and you edit some APN, edited APN disappears…

Yes mobile data is enabled actually it doesn't matter if it's enabled or disabled, always delete the APN when I attempt to modify and save it.

DragonICS-25-05-2012-SGS2 Kernel: 3.0.32-FLUXI-XXetc...
But I have also tried: litening ROM, CM9, MIUI, Resurection Remix, Omega...etc..and even tried CM7 just to verify if it was ICS related issue.
But was the Internet working on original Samsung ROM?
I am asking this because when I first time tested Fluxi kernel, I lost WiFi functionality because of kernel cleaning script I have used. I had to return back to Samsung ROM, root again and install AOKP ROM to fix it.
Sometimes are these issues related to kernel cleaning or another possibility is, that you did not wipe phone correctly between different ROMs.
I would recommend to return back to original Samsung ROM (using Odin) and then to root and instal AOKP ROM exactly according to instructions.

Internet was working on every ROM I used BEFORE this happened, this problem came from nowhere , I always do the proper wipes/cleanings between ROMs. I have tried with Siyah Kernel, and others. I'll try the Original ROM and I'll let you know what happen, ok? Thank you.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid (and other) JB ROMs - Can't get mobile network to work

I can't post to the dev forum, so maybe someone over here can help:
I tried the PA ROM, because I really love the hybrid mode. The ROM has worked fine and looks great, but whatever version I flash, the mobile network, both data and phone, simply doesn't work.
It briefly connects to my provider (drei.at) and immediately disconnects, no matter whether I have data connection enabled or not.
Have tried this with all available versions of PA and did the usual routine: wipe, format system, wipe data. I even went totally back to a stock ROM, tried various modems, the current one being XXDLH9, which works just fine on [email protected] 0.6 ROM.
Had the same problem with Omega, FoxHound, and god knows what other ROMs I tried. No matter what, the only JB ROM actually working is [email protected] 0.6, that's it.
Is this a known phenomenon or have I overlooked something obvious?
The phone used to be a branded and simlocked Austrian T-Mobile, but ever since it has been debranded and SIM unlocked.
Any ideas?
All i can suggest is your apn settings?
Can try Offline SIM APN Database (get on Google Play) to insert the correct apn settings.

Thank you for the suggestion. The APN settings on a fresh install, all wiped, are correct and the same as in a working setup.
Any other ideas? Am I really the only one with that problem?
Modem tried APN correct .
Suggest next step is factory reset ..
Step after that is to install an official stock rom .
Others who may have a problem post in the roms thread .

Did a factory reset, totally clean install with everything wiped.
Also, did a clean wipe and installed official stock ROM. Lost root, started from scratch and still didn't work.
I'd love to post in the ROM forums, but haven't yet posted my mandatory 10 postings.. Maybe this thread helps me to reach that limit

No, that's not what I said. Stock ROMs work just fine; I actually just flashed the latest leak (DLI5) and had no problems with the network. The problem hasn't changed, so it's what I wrote in the OP: Only JB to work ist latest leak and [email protected] 0.6. All others can be installed but have not network connection other than WiFi.

Thanks for trying to help.
Yes, I have been playing around with all kinds of basebands, trying to flash modems etc. but that does not seem to be the reason for it. I have had different modems working and the very same modems simply did not work with PA at all. Best example ist yesterday's leak DLI5 which I flashed and had a virgin like system working just fine with my network. I then flashed the PA ROM, which then had the same baseband as the latest stock ROM, but, alas, same story: No network.
The weird thing is the brief connect it always shows in the status bar. It lasts roughly 4-5 seconds and then disconnects again, only showing the empty network status display.
It really sucks, because I find the idea of hybrid ROMs really appealing, in fact, this seems to me as a truly superior way of making use of the 720p display.
Need to try logcat next to see whether the connect/disconnect somehow can be monitored from there. Will report on that.

I just installed ParanoidAndroid. I'm kind of a noob to all of this.
I understand some, but not all.
My mobile networks are not working.
I don't get any notification at the top of the screen either saying I'm on a mobile network.
I've messed around with the APN settings. It seems that every now and then it'll connect for a brief moment, but I can't really do anything unless I'm connected to WiFi.
Any help would be appreciated.
I came from a stock phone rooted.
Installed this and now I'm here.
Please HELP!!

Sorry for not understanding, but what is AOSP? I see that, but I don't get what is what.
ASOP = Android Open Source Project.. They are best but not that much good at battery
Spend some time on xda and Google your doubts.. You'll surely understand everything from android

[Q] Lost automatic connection with my data plan

Hi everybody!
Yesterday, I applied a custom rom to my Galaxy Note and after a successful installation, my data plan wasn't working like it used to be.
I have to say this isn't the first time I have done this, and in the previous opportunities after flashing the rom and rebooting, the EDGE/3G icon appeared by itself detecting my data plan. I never had to configure the APN settings (like it is said in many posts I have seen here).
So, when I realize that it wasn't working properly, I re-flashed the rom but didn't worked. So then, I downloaded the ICS stock rom and flashed it through Odin, hoping it would reset all things here and would give me the initial configuration, but that didn't work either.
I have entered through settings and deactivated/activated the options related to mobile data, but that icon never appears or my data connection showed up.
Forgot to mention that this phone was unlocked through cellunlocker by code, and that I can make phone calls with no problem and also the Wifi works fine... And thank you in advance for any advice/help that you could make
If it's happening with different ROMs then take a look at your modem (baseband). Are you using I717UCLF6? Go to System Settings-About Phone-Baseband Version.
Like ^^^^ said, and you didn't say it, but I'm guessing T-Mobile. So flash any ROM you like, reboot and let but settle in, then flash the Blaze 4G or whatever T-Mobile modem works best for you.
You did enter your APN info?

[Q] FIXED! ATT SGH-I717 Sim card error!!

*READ BELOW FOR A GUIDE TO FIX*
I've had my note for over a year now and i have had it rooted pretty much the entire time. Never any problems with it up until recently it started doing this thing where it would keep restarting. It would boot up and less than a minute later just restart. Off and on for a few days it was doing this. I was still running 2.3.6 at that point. So i decided to push 4.0.4 via odin since kies didnt support the firmware. Everything was working fine for a few hours then all of the sudden "the ring of death" showing me no service. Went through the phone and noticed it was saying there is no sim inserted. Tested sim on another phone. Works fine. Since then ive figured out via kies i can recovery and update firmware. Tried that. No Bueno. Now im to the point where im on 4.0.4 with no service. I've scoured through forums trying all kinds of different things, pushing different roms and modems via odin and cwm. Still no bueno.
Baseband version
Unknown
Kernel Version
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UCLF6
If anyone can give me ideas im willing to try them out.
Thanks.
I got it working so heres a direction for anyone else who has this issue!
Replaced Sim&SD card reader-No fix
After flashing all kinds of roms & modems still same issue saying no sim inserted.
Do a hard reset through your settings.
Flash cwm and put the radio from this link on your sd card. Use cwm to flash the radio.
Flash rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261598 via odin.
The first try i got an error during flash and got stuck on the software download error screen.
Reflashed the JB rom.
After its flashed flash clockwork recovery.
Enter cwm and do a factory reset. Clear cache. Clear dalvik cache. Reboot system.
If you get service, turn off phone. enter cwm and do a backup.
Reboot system.
It should be working.
If not restart and make sure to do a factory reset through your settings in the phone before reflashing rom.
Got the Phone up and running for about 30 mins.
After battery removed it reverted back to no sim card inserted.
Kept reflashing rom until it worked again.
Flashed cwm.(ClockworK recovery mod)
Deleted cache, dalvik cache
Backed up via cwm
If it reverts back to no sim after that restore using the cwm backup.-it worked for me
Now for the tricky part, my phone was getting crappy service...
So heres what i did to fix it.
Settings-more settings-mobile networks-access point names-click on the apn.

I believe I've read something like this before. I think they fixed it by starting over from scratch. Try returning to stock thru Odin. Then root and flash rom of choice.

I believe the number was 2.3.6 (you can take a look in the about section in the settings and it'll tell you what you're currently running). ICS is Ice Cream Sandwhich which for our phone was 4.0.4 i believe. Jelly bean just came out today which you can use Kies to upgrade to and that I believe is 4.1.2. The numbers don't really mean a think, just the classification of what the OS is so if your phone reads something else (say 2.3.4) assume your phone is right and I'm wrong. I can't remember OS versions to save my life haha.
But you can use Kies to do an emergency recovery and I THINK it'll install Gingerbread. that's where I'd start, then test it, and then move to ICS and test, and then move to JB and test. I know long tedious process, but sometimes it's necessary. Imagine how fun I am to talk to on the phone while troubleshooting a computer :laugh:

Same situation...finally went to ATT and had a "new" phone sent under warranty. Of course NOW I'm pulling my hair out trying to migrate everything over to the new phone. I rooted and every ROM I try and install aborts. **** me. I don't even know where to start anymore

what I use to migrate, and I between roms at least once a week with a full wipe because I rely on my phone being stable.
SMS and call logs: SMS Backup + (saves your call logs and sms to your gmail account. Makes a label for it and everything, pretty sweet. You can also restore from it. it takes about an hour for me to restore at 7000+ text messages).
pictures/media: stored on SD card
apps: if rooted and rommed I use titanium backup and run 2 sets. those which I want to keep my data like sms backup + to make restore easier and those I don't care about the data like google voice. If you're stock, just remember to check the little box in the beginning saying backup this phone to google (or something like that) and the next time you have to restore tick the box that says restore from google (or something like that) and it'll reinstall your apps. Mind you not the info, but it'll give you a head start.
As with your issue with installing roms. If you're using CWM i highly recommend switching to TWRP, not saying it's better in fact I like CWM better, but TWRP is the best for our roms and phone. If you have no clue what I mean by CWM or TWRP, read the all info sticky about how to rom thy phone.
I hope that helps.
Thanks OG. Yes, I know CMW and TWRP. I used to switch ROMs a lot. Finally stuck with Collective's latest (the orange one) pretty happy with it except that it's major glitch seems to be reboots whenever an app updates. So I figured unchecking auto update in Gstore should handle that.
You're saying I should try rooting w Odin again, install Superuser, then use TWRP to flash with? I'll be happy to read another 4 hrs of posts/stickies if that'll get me sorted out. I don't expect people like yourself to spend your day helping me. I'm very thankful for your tips here.
I've poured thru the "All things Gnote" threads and Noob Guides. They can be confusing as they always link out to many different threads. There is hardly ever a "Here are the steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Thanks again OG.

No problem always happy to help. since you're used to this sorta thing you don't need to use odin again and reroot. What you can do is either install TWRP through CWM using this file here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.zip
Or you can install Goo manager, click settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript (though that's only 2.4.4.0 the link above is 2.5.0.0)
That should change you over to TWRP. and like always do a nandroid backup and then flash to your heart's content!
fixed!

i have the same issue.....i kn0w its n0t an hardware issue....my ph0ne is fairly new never dr0pped and this started happening 3 days after i p0rted black star jb alpha
I have this same issues ive tried flashing everything ive tried a new sim and replaced the card reader.
What works consistently for me if to flash the latest modem everytime i have to reboot or boot the note. Its my daughters phone now and she drains the battery regularly if it boots after charging or it needs to be rebooted for whatever reason it will come up with the no sim card error. If i flash the modem thru recovery it will work for that boot but only as long as I dont reboot or shut the phone off, then i will have to flash the modem again.
Not fixed
All. This is not fixed. I am having the same issue and if you follow the guide, it works for a day maybe regardless of what rom is loaded or what modems. Has anyone found a real solution to this yet??
i717 running stock GB or ICS or JB roms...
Thanks!
I have the exact same issue. Replaced the sim/sd card slot and still no dice ): Flashed to stock and back. Nope. Still won't work

I'm having the same problem. There seems to be no set way to get it back to working. Basically any reboot of the phone produces a no sim card error. I have tried flashing the modem through recovery as it was mentioned that will fix the problem. That did not work for me. What does work, sometimes, is one of the following:
1. Full wipe and reinstall
2. Restore backup from Recovery
3. Fix permissions
I just keep doing one of the above listed and eventually it works. However if the phone reboots then it's back to the carousel of trying these options to get it back to working.
I'm running Padawan JB V2
I honestly have no idea what's causing it. I haven't tried to fix permissions before to fix this issue, but if I go into recovery and install the modem again and reboot, it works fine for a while (and by a while, I mean like a few hours at max).
Just started having this issue, myself...after flashing Tmo_SGH-T989_VKL1_radio_ATTNOTE.zip modem on my phone...restoring from a prior backup...
Restoring a backup will not change your modem.
