[Q] Lost network after flashing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I know I'm new to here, but not new to android, flashing, etc...
So I recently bought a Galaxy S3 international version (GT-I9300).
I tried to update it's software with KIES, and it stopped on 61%.
KIES tried to flash the newest 4.0.4 (UK) firmware (I9300XXBLG8).
I got the .tar.md5 file out of temporary directory and flashed it manually from ODIN. It booted normally, but i had (have) no network signal. When I turned it on it requested my PIN but when I entered it, the phone doesn't connected to my carrieer's network. My phone is unlocked (checked it with galaxsim), and my IMEI number doesn't changed or corrupted. (Checked under the battery). I live in Hungary and my carrieer is T-Mobile. Tried hard reset, wipe.
Can anybody please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
Tom

Hi Tom ,
it happened that I had a bit of a similar problem before ( not with my Current International S3 but with my older Xperia neo v ) , after flashing a new ROM something went wrong and I had lost network , tried everything possible but it wouldn't do anything.
my solution was flashing back to my previous ROM , so I highly recommend to you to flash back using your NANDROID backup ( I hope you made one before Flashing... ) or you can try another ROM / or even RE-flash your current ROM but pay more attention this time and make sure nothing goes wrong , and also make sure you do a factory reset , Cache wipe and Dalvik cache Wipe before you flash it just to make sure everything is clean.
I hope this helps , and if I helped you by any way possible don't hesitate and press the Thanks button on your LEFT :good:
Cheers

OT I don't have thanks buttons, maybe you should qualify with an IF statement?

Bad news, I don't really know what my original firmware was, so I can just try Kangburra's tip... I have 25 min waiting time on hotfile.com, I will the download the latest 4.1.1 unbranded firmware, which has PDA I9300XXDLIH and CSC I9300PHEDLI1. I will write about the results ASAP.
edit: I'm too tired, I thoght your signature was a suggestion for me

It seems you misunderstood me... I have absolutely no network signal from my carrier :/
Update: Okay the last 4.1.1 mentioned before is not working. Now it sees my network just doesn't register on it. Will try I9300XXALE8_I9300OXFALE5_XEH now.
Found something: All of ROMs installed I'm seem to be reachable. My friend ringed me from his mobile and IT WAS RINGING. If I turned off my mobile, it was not ringing of course. So what the hell is this?

[Q] No phone/sms, data ok and IMEI ok

Hello,
After searching about 10 pages & search engine i haven't find exactly same problem as mine but i think i'm not the only one who had this problem...
I saw that all guys having same problem as me have an IMEI problem with a file on /efs, which is not my case for the IMEI
Problem : no phone, no sms, all data is OK. is someone calls me it rings busy.
Here's what i tried
- My SIM on another S2 = everything OK, the other S2 sim on my phone gives same problem.
- Many ROMs official or non official (also a release using pit+pda+phone+csc), without solving my problem
- Using the appli GSII_Repair but i can' t download (message appears 2mins after click on install, from PC or from market)
- Phone is operator free and with no signal problem.
- At the moment i just put an official rom (nothing more) with baseband i9100xxki3, kernel 2.6.35.[email protected] #2, Version number gingerbread.xxki3. Network State=Connected, IMEI= same as behind battery, IMEISV=01
I bought the phone to someone living 150km from me and when i wanted to test it...i locked my SIM (and no puk code with me) so i bought it for not having done the 300km for nothing...and i can't use it since a week i'm trying & reading things everywhere on the net but i think here is the best place, great members, great place, and great roms i used on my HD2 before the USB connector broke. The guy to wich i bought the phone kept it a month and have no idea to what has been done the phone
So help needed....Thanks

Have you already tried to do a factory reset?
Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, hold the keys until the recovery menu appears), choose factory reset and then reboot the phone.
If that does not help, you could try to flash a newer stock ROM, such as XWKJ3.
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If that does not help either, it could be a hardware issue.
Hope that it is not.
Good luck !
I already have done both, and i just have done the 2 things again just in cas
Factory reset => still having problem
XWKJ3 => i'm getting permanently a message like com.android.phone crashed, i now remember why i changed for an older ROM
Sounds like flashing many roms syndrome .
Also the no no of using PIT files .
Suggestion
Download full stock rom .
Backup all data .
Go to recovery Mounts and storage Format > Cache System Data > SD Card .
No boot now clean empty phone .
Download mode and via Odin flash stock rom .
Test if still faulty return under warranty .
jje
I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phoneIt just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.

Network Problems after upgrading to ICS

In summary I have upgraded to ICS (Official), but am unable to connect to my carrier network and some of the OS seems missing; If I long press my power button I don't get the device menu, it just turns off.
Full details:
I am on a South African network, and the ROM shipped with my device is I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA. I downloaded two variants of the new ICS ROM from link;XWLP7 & XXLPQ and I downloaded the latest Odin.
From there I followed these instructions:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
On both ROMs, following the PASS message my phone rebooted, and everything starts up perfectly; Applications get installed and so on. Only one big problem, I can not connect to a carrier network (The OS also never prompts me to unlock my SIM card). When I bring down my network menu (swipe down) it says Emergency Calls Only. I then figured I would try and manually select a carrier network, so I went and scanned for networks and selected Vodacom. I then get an error message saying "Error cannot connect". I also don't seem to have access to the menu one gets when holding down the power button, if I hold it down the device shuts down; no silent, power off, etc menu.
This happens with both of the rom variants I have. After trying everything in my limited knowledge I gave up, found and downloaded the old I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA rom. I am now back on that rom and everything is working fine.
I have also tried following these steps: link
Except I restore factory settings and wipe cache before deploying the ROM. I then sought the help of a fellow Droid user from the South African forums, who suggested that I flash onto the old Dutch firmware (GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4). After confirming it worked and I could get onto the network, I took the SIM out and did a proper firmware upgrade via KIES. The upgrade went in without any issue, BUT after the upgrade the problem was still there; no carrier network, no power button menu.
After further fiddling I figured that the OS not asking for my SIM PIN must be one of the causes of my issue, so I went to my settings and turned SIM security off and on. After doing so, suddenly the device hopped onto my carrier network. This did not solve the issue though, as I have to do this after every reboot.
I have checked to ensure my IMEI number is fine, and it is 100%. When I flashed to the XEO version, I could get into the *#272* menu and change my CSC. After doing so, problem was still there.
I am now totally confused as to what on earth could be causing the issue, especially considering other people on the same device with the same carrier seem to be able to flash without hassle - does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas? Come on XDA!
Try checking the efs\imei folder to see if the keystr file is there. If its not, make one with the value 1. Search the q and a forum for more info
Can this be done without rooting my phone?
EDIT: Required rooting. Was the missing "keystr" file in my EFS/IMEI directory (link)

[Q] Galaxy S2 unable to register to network, no signal

Hi,
I'm facing this major problem with my handset.
When I insert a SIM card to my mobile, it registers with the network (VODAFONE IN) with signal strength of 12asu and then gradually decreases to 5asu and then 1asu when my phone shows no signal afterwards. The carrier is shown as Unknown and service as out of service.
If I put the same SIM in another phone, it works. So no problem with the SIM or Network.
I have tried the following:
1) Flashed various modems
2) Flashed various ROMS (CM9, CM10, Official Stock)
3) Did complete WIPE. Factory Reset, Clear cache, Clear Dalvik cache, Format /system
4) I also restored by efs to a backup I had of my efs(taken when I first got the phone in 2011).
5) Also used Repair Galaxy S2 app which basically fixes RW permissions of the EFS folder.
6) Also used EFS Pro to repair my .nav files
7) Also used GetRIL tool to check if the drivers are matching.
Even after doing everything, the problem is same. When I first insert the sim card, it gets signal for around 5 minutes and then suddenly it goes to 1asu with no signal forever. I also kept my phone as it is for one whole day, but nothing: my phone is unreachable and there's no signal.
I had never dropped my phone and possibility of any physical damage to the receiver is very low.
The only reason I can see is this:
I was on DilDroid ICS and everything was fine until one day, I went to Recovery and fixed permissions. (Btw, DilDroid ICS used Siyah kernal)
And I think that was the last thing I did after which my phone couldn't receive signals.
I think some files have been corrupted and even after factory reset etc. it remains and the next time I flash another ROM, the files are still there.
Can someone tell me a way to completely clean my galaxy s2 and then start off by flashing a new ROM.
Or any other solution. Kindly help.

do a full wipe and install another rom and see
1) Wipe data/Factory reset
2) go to 'mounts and storage' and wipe data and system there.
3)wipe Cache partition as well as Dalvik in advance.
then install the rom zip file
and again do all wipes except system and then check for issue's
ps- before that try with a different netwrk sim on the phone and see if the issue persists or not

Hi Sun90,
I've tried flashing different ROM after complete wipe. I also wiped system. But never wiped data. Doing it now.

update:
I tried your approach, but still facing the same problem. Please help.
Hello everyone.
I got exactly the same problem. I had my I9100 for over a year. I flashed lots of roms. Now i got this problem. I cannot connect to the service of my carrier. I got realy bad connection or no connection at all. The sim works on different Galaxys and its not a problem with the apn and or my IMEI. Evereything is ok there.
what have I done so far:
flashed several roms
flashed several modems
went back to original rom
several whipes
Now I have a nice MP3 player with some WIFI at home
What im thinkin about could be the problem but I dont know how to fix it:
I think i got a wrong CSC and there is something rotten with my partitions...

yes i tried another networks's sim as well. sim was recognised. sim-pin ok. but no service/connection. on manual carrier choice the galaxy said something like connected to service. but there is no internet and if i try to make a call there is the "no service" popup again.
i dont think its a problem with the HW because sometimes i see the different carriers. i just cannot connect to them!
as I said before: I think its a SW problem around CSC and/or somethin is ****ed up with my phones partitions...

That's true. If I sometime connect to my network, I can quickly make a call & for the duration of the call, it remains okay. Pretty strange. I can goto flight mode and then back and sometimes I get the signals back for around 2-3 minutes before again going to no signal.
@Aton88, Were you by any chance on Siyah kernal or DilDroid ROM or went outside India? Just asking. Trying to find a pattern here.

yeh sure, give it a try
and by the way creating more threads for the same issue doesn't bring about any goodthing to u for sure, hence stick to the rules of XDA, rather than doing this and getting Infracted by the mods for the same
take my words this is for ur own good

Thanks for the advice. I shall make sure I don't create duplicate threads. Btw, I even checked if my phone is locked but it's not. Everything is OFF.
I even checked the validity of my IMEI and it seems to be valid.
I'm really running out of ideas to check what's wrong.
I tried a different provider's SIM and even that doesn't work.
Can someone tell me how to do a complete clean install.
Are these steps complete or any steps are missing:
1. Factory Reset
2. Clear cache
3. Clear Dalvik Cache
4. Clear Battery stats
5. Wipe /system
6. Wipe /data
Then Goto Odin: Flash the official Stock Firmware for India.
Am i missing anything? I want a complete WIPE, so that no previous corrupted files are present. Please help.

i have a similar problem.....in the about section my network is displayed correctly but under "service state" it says out of service... BUT the internet works fine....when i try to make a call it says "not registered on network" ...the sim works fine in other phones.....the IMEI is also fine.
heres what i have tried :
1) change sim card
2) change roms
3) go back to stock GB that phone came with
4)wipes (all)
now i think i messed up something with the ril cause i changed it and i think thats where the problem started.
i got backups of the efs but i dont wana go there unless absolutely sure that the problem is there.
(is there a way to i dont know like check the integrity of tue efs or something)

if someon could plz check this for me.
i went into the service mode menu *#197328640#..then option 2 which is version info ...then option 1 which is SW version....then option 1 which is READ IMEI ...now when i selected that it said IMEI :NOT SUPPORTED
i dont know if thats normal...so if someone could please try this and let me know..i would be extremely thankful
ok so i did a lil experiment :
i purposely messed up my IMEI to that generic one with lots of zeros ...and suprisingly the calling function is back and i can use the phone normally except ofcourse the fact that the IMEI is messed....
Then i restored to get my own IMEI ...and together with my IMEI ..the problem came back too....
(oh and once again if someone could plz confirm the thing i asked about in previous post thanks)
My imei says not supported "/

[Q] S7562 Phone Problem

Hi Guys,
I am having a big problem with my mobile phone. It is a chinese GT-S7562 and was a present of a chinese
friend who wants me to be online when I´m in shanghai.
I was able to change the language to english, but may apps and part of the system were still in chinese.
So I decides to flash a german firmware (my home country).
Everything went fine, I was able to make all the settings and access the play store and get updates from
samsung.
But if I try to make or receive a call the mobile signal gets lost and the simcard shows a circle with a dash
in the middle. After a reboot I have full signal strengh, but after a call attempt it gets lost again.
I tried mulitple simcards in both slots, no change.
I even tried different firmware, even custim ones, but nothing helps.
Currently i am on a stock fw 4.0.4
Baseband S7562ZCMG1
Build number IMM761.S7562XXBMD6
Does anybody have a hint for me how to solve that?
Manythanks,
Jo

There is a problem with the 3g module, you have to use the chinese firmware.

Another point I wanted to add was...you can easily install the google play in the phone brought from china by rooting the phone and with the help of 'RE explorer' app you can put three apk files in the given link into system/app folder....then reboot the phone thats it....google play will work...follow this link----http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31236432

[Q] Cannot make phone calls/ send text messages / use data.

My friend asked me to look at this phone that was softbricked and kept going to CWM recovery everytime it was booted. I updated the CWM to the latest touch version via ODIN then formatted the phone clean. :good: Then I flashed 4.3.1 stable AOKP ROM and the GApps. It was fine, everything else was working. I connected the wi-fi, used bluetooth, signed into google account everything was normal and stable.:highfive: But then I tried calling and it said "no mobile network". Tried sending a text, could not. I went in and searched for network signals then registered to the correct(I AM SURE!) one.:silly: Still no luck. Then I let it choose automatically. Nothing. Then I thought maybe installing another ROM will somehow fix it and flashed CyanogenMod 10.2 stable. Still no luck. I searched around for a flashable radio but could not decide if that would fix it because as far as I am aware if the radio wasn't working no wireless connectivity should've been either.
The phone is Samsung Galaxy S III GTI9300 white 16GB (unlocked) and has been here in Nepal with Nepal Telecom Sim since it was bought. I have no Idea how the soft brick happened but I think this guy tried to manually update the phone with a stock firmware during which some **** must've happened.
Can you guys please let me know if this could be fixed?
Any help would be highly appreciated.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
There are hundreds of identical threads, search and read about efs and imei issues.
